Never Going to Happen
By: Jey4eva
Chapter 4: The Crazy Twist (of this spectacular story...hehe, right)
James's POV:
"So Prongs, how was your detention with Lily last night?" Sirius asked me, teasingly. "Anything... I dunno, happen?"
"Don't start," I warned. I flexed my arm and winced painfully. "You won't believe how hard it is to wash dishes the Muggle way! I don't know how Muggles can stand it!"
Remus yawned loudly. He was reading his Transfiguration book... No wonder.
We were in the Gryffindor Common Room early that morning. Breakfast wasn't being served yet, so the whole mottly (A/N: is that spelled right? Oh whatever.) crew was hanging out in the Common Room.
"Here comes that friend of Lily's," Sirius whispered.
"Who?" I inquired, not remembering any of her friends.
"That cute brunette. Tall, talkative, attractive..." Sirius said emphasizing the word 'attractive'.
"What?" I asked wrinkling my nose. "You fancy one of Lily's friends?"
Sirius shook his head, "No... I rather go for blonds."
I turned around and saw a sleepy looking brunette. She caught me looking and smiled brightly.
"Well, Padfoot, if you don't fancy her, then I guess I should just go over there and ask her out... What do you think Moony?" I asked, looking over at Remus who was stretching sleepily in his chair.
He shrugged, "Whatever James... I just thought you were going to go for Lily."
I made a face, "Don't bring that up again," I said. "You know it isn't true."
Remus shrugged again, "Then I say 'go for it'." He yawned sleepily.
"Alright then," I said getting up and crossing to the chair she was slouching in.
She straightened when she saw me. She smiled brushing a lock of hair off her face, "Hi James," she said breathlessly.
"Hi-er..." I trailed off.
"Kendra," she said. "Kendra Monroe."
I stuck out my hand, "Hi there Kendra."
She shook it with ease.
"So, you're one of Lily's friends aren't you?" I asked, making conversation.
She nodded.
"Yeah, well, um- I was wondering..." I trailed off slowly. "Would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me?"
Her eyes lit up with surprise. "Sure James!" She exclaimed. "Should I ask Professor McGonagall if we could go?"
I chuckled softly, "Who said anything about asking McGonagall?"
She frowned, "Then how do you expect us to get to Hogsmeade?"
"You'll find out," I told her. "I'll meet you here at the common room tomorrow?" I asked.
She nodded, still frowning, "Okay."
"Great," I said grinning and walking away. I walked to Sirius, Remus, and Peter.
"Hey hey!" Sirius said, giving me a thumbs up sign. Remus gave his usual grin.
"Well, James, I guess you do have guts," Remus said, with an amused smile on his face.
"Yes Moony, I know," I said looking at my nails boredly. "EVERYONE knows that. Maybe I could give you a few pointers..."
"I don't think so," Remus said looking over my shoulder.
Sirius looked over my shoulder then covered his mouth to muffle his laughs. "Ooh James!" Sirius started, but then keeled over in laughter.
"What?" I demanded and turned. My mouth almost dropped open. Lily was standing at the steps, staring calmly at me as Kendra babbled away next to her. "Oh shit," I muttered.
Lily's POV:
"And so, guess what Lily!" Kendra exclaimed.
"What?" I asked, miserably.
"He asked me out!" She practically screamed in my ear.
"Who?" I asked faintly.
Kendra rolled her eyes, "James, Lily, James."
"That's nice," I said nodding. I gave a fake yawn, "Well, goodnight Kendra."
Kendra frowned, "Lily, its 8 in the morning."
"Oh," I said suddenly. "They'll be serving breakfast now," I said. I turned and walked out the portrait hole. (A/N: Actually, I don't know the exact time that they serve breakfast, but bare with me.)
"Oh thanks! Don't wait for me!" Kendra called.
I barely heard her. It was like I was in my own world. James Potter, the one that I absoulutely LOATHE, had asked my friend on a date... Right after last night... Did a kiss mean ANYTHING to HIM?! "That ass hole. I can't BELIEVE I actually kissed the idiot!" I muttered to myself as I made my way to the Great Hall.
James's POV:
"I don't see why you care, Prongs," Sirius said lightly.
Remus nodded, "You said so yourself, 'you don't give a rat's ass about Lily... No offense Wormtail," Remus said turning to Peter.
Peter snored in reply.
"That was last year," I said defensively.
"You said yesterday that-" Remus started.
"Did you remember EVERYTHING I said about Lily?" I asked, exasperated. "Last night, during detention..."
"You two snogged?" Sirius asked excitedly.
"You're calling her LILY?" Remus exclaimed at the same time.
"Nooo!" I said hotly. "We did not snog, we just well, became closer..."
"You do know how missleading that sounds, right James?" Remus said, grinning.
"Shut up," I said.
Sirius and Remus gave eachother high fives as they burst into laughter.
"I just... I don't need Evans pissed off at me... Its distracting," I said slowly.
"And we're back to Evans," Remus muttered.
"She looks cute when she's pissed off, doesn't she Prongs?" Sirius teased.
"Would you stop that?" I demanded. I sighed and slouched in my chair. "I'm going to breakfast," I announced and walked out the portrait hole.
Lily's POV:
"Then he said 'Kendra, I think you're so hot... Would you marry me?' Of course, he quickly corrected himself saying 'I mean, would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me.' But, he didn't do it quickly enough for me to miss the 'will you marry me'," Kendra told the Gryffindor girls.
They all burst into a fit of giggles.
I rolled my eyes and moved my scrambled eggs with my fork around the plate. My head was on my hand and I was staring down.
"Lily, are you listening?" Kendra demanded.
"Yes Kendra, I've listened to the story for about the millionth time," I mumbled, not looking up.
"Tell us again Kendra!" A first year girl said.
"No," I muttered. "No more."
Ashley and Emily gave me sympathetic smiles.
I sat up suddenly and stood up.
"Where are you going Lily?" Kendra asked surprised. "You have to listen about my story of how James asked me out."
"I've heard it," I muttered and walked away.
Stupid girl, I thought to myself. Doing this to yourself because a BOY had kissed you and then the next day asked your friend out. And of all boys... it had to be JAMES POTTER!
"You are NOT going to let James Potter run you like this," I said under my breath. "He's beneath you, he's scum, he's NOTHING!" I ranted on as I stalked to the Gryffindor tower.
I was muttering these exact same words when, who to thought... I bumped into Mr. Scum himself.
"Watch it!" I snapped looking up, but down (A/N: If you get what I mean.) thinking it was a younger student. But seeing feet, I looked up seeing James smirking down at me.
"Having a bad day Evans?" James asked amused.
Oh God, how I just wanted to kiss him, but at the same time wipe that smirk off his face....
A/N: Yup yup yup... I'm leaving it there. You guys are lucky... At least I didn't wait TOO long before posting this chapter... (But it was pretty long.) But anyway, I'm bad at cliffhangers... Everyone says that. But, I happen to like this cliffhanger cause' I just do... You guys are probably loving it too... (yeah, right) but, for those of you that want to find out what happens next in the 2nd part of "The Crazy Twist" (cause' there's more to come).... REVIEW!!!
