Itsy Bitsy little author's note:
First of all, i know i have a billion things going at once, sorry bout that. I've decided to continue the ones that are most successful, and let the other ones sit to see if people like them. Which means, review if you want them continued.
Following that, i'm starting yet another series back with hermione and harry and ron, but that will come later. I think it's going to be called the Song of a Feather (don't ask, thee are a bunch of birds and other wind creatures, but at least i've moved past naming the dumb things of songs).
Lastly, you really didn't think Lily and James were going to go live happily ever after, did you? No, this series will be at least a few longer. But there's a little twist...
Enter Snape.
Lily Hates James Hates Lily, Part VIII
"Whew!" Lily collapsed against the wall, and started talking to the ceiling. "I thought he was going to kill us!" She could still see Wood's face contorted in something that looked like a mixture of fury and relief.
"No, really, I thought he was going to hug us," James told her, slightly sarcastically. Lily lifted an eyebrow, and James smiled kind of sheepishly.
"Please, don't get so mushy." It was easy to see where James got his bits of sarcasm from. "Much more and you too will be back to hating each other."
"Awww, Sirius." Lily draped her arm around Sirius's broad shoulders. "You know you wouldn't wish it any other way."
"Hey!" James exclaimed, feeling neglected. "You're my date to the RPDBHACTITBWDCIHIE." He ducked under Lily's other arm.
"Somebody's poss-es-ive," Sirius said in a singsong voice. Lily gave Sirius one of those looks that get meaning across much better than words.
"He is," Sirius said defensively, pouting. "And don't look at me that way..."
"Hey!" James exclaimed. "She can do whatever ever she wants. She's my date," he added smugly.
Date or no, Lily despised people-men, in particular-who said stuff like that. She elbowed him lightly in the stomach. "I can do what ever I want to do-because I'm me." She gave a meaningful glare at James before climbing through the portrait hole. James rubbed his bruised stomach.
"You know," he said, almost thoughtfully. "The ones that don't think are so much easier to deal with."
Sirius gave him the Are-you-two-years-old condescending look. "But they're so much more fun!" He said jovially, with a not so light pound on James's back. Now James arms were wrapped around him, as one rubbed his front and the other his back.
"You, Prongs buddy," Sirius said draping his arm around James, "are a wimp."
"It hurt!" James said defensively.
"So will your heart if you let that girl go," Sirius told him, with more sincerity than he usually spoke with. He indicated the portrait hole.
"I guess so," James said, pouting slightly, his lip sticking out ever so slightly. Sirius was forced to give him the preschool teacher look again. "Fine." And James sauntered through the portrait hole. Sirius smiled to himself, and followed.
"Some-body's in lo-ve," Karana sang softly, using a voice much like the one Sirius had used earlier.
"I like him," Lily delayed.
"And yesterday you hated him," Karana pointed out. "Keep up this progress, next week you'll be married with children."
Lily frowned, listening. "What do you think Severus will say?"
Karana scowled. "What does it matter? He dumped you last year, remember?" She looked at her friend as though Lily must not have realized this fact; or else she would not have been asking the question.
"I just...value his opinion," Lily said, thinking aloud. "I mean..."
"Lily." Karana sat down in front of her and looked her in the eye. "Stop acting so stuck up. You like James, you shouldn't pay attention to what other people say."
Lily smiled weakly. "So why am I paying attention to you?"
"Because..." Karana stood up and spread her arms for dramatic effect, "... I'm your wonderful, kind, caring..."
"Not to mention beautiful," a voice cut in from the door to the girls room. They turned to find Sirius leaning against the door frame. "Lily, James said something about meeting him down at the Quidditch field." He lifted his eyebrows suggestively. Lily threw a sock at him, but nether less grabbed her cloak.
"Sirius,I think you should know you're a wonderful messenger, and I think you've found your true calling in life." Lily smiled sweetly as she pushed past him.
Sirius didn't bother, with a reply, but instead watched her go down the stairs.
"Go spy?" Karana asked hopefully.
Sirius grinned with just a tinge of evilness. "What else?" He checked again to make sure Lily was safely out of the portrait hole, then crept quietly after her.
"It's cold," Lily told James as she walked out onto the field, wrapping her cloak around her. Her feet made a crunching sound as they stepped across the frozen grass.
"Did you come all the way out here just to tell me that?" James smiled, walking over to meet her.
"Maybe." Lily smiled slightly coyly.
"And maybe not," James told her, wrapping his arms lightly around her waist.
"Hmm..." Lily snuggled at bit closer to James. "I was sure there was something else I was thinking about..."
"Like this, perhaps." The breath was visible in the frigid air as James bent his head slowly to kiss her. Their lips, or at least the frozen layers covering there lips, were just barefullly touching when a harsh voice broke their peace.
"Evans!" Lily cringed, recognizing the voice without having to turn around. "We've got Quidditch practice now, so if you would mind finding a room...preferably mine...we could get on with it." Lucius sneered nastily at the double meaning of her words.
"Lucius..." one the Slytherins, bundled up in green robes, called cautiously.
"Shut up, Snape." Lucius approached the couple. "Get sick of Slytherins so fast, Evans?" Even the cold air couldn't rid his breath of its rotten smell, Lily squished up her nose.
"What, can't find anyone else?" Lily asked, mockingly. "C'mon, James, we should let them have the field, it's the most play they'll ever get."
James bent over and kissed her forehead lightly. "You can be really vicious sometimes, you know that," he whispered.
"I know," Lily mumbled back, drawing his arms around her.
"Lovely, really." Lucius looked like he was going to puke. "Would you mind?"
"No, not at all," James told him, smiling overly sweetly. Lucius got a toothache just from looking at him. James bent over Lily and kissed her deeply, for several long seconds.
Lucius's jaw had dropped in utter disgust by the time they were done. Severus, or at least the parts of him that could be seen behind the layers of robes, frowned slightly.
"Sweet, charming actually," Lucius said, his voice dripping in sarcasm. "I guess now we know why you talked Wood into letting Lily on the team."
"You little-" Lily cut herself off, refraining from using muggle curse words. She grabbed her broom, which she had forgotten until now, and had it aiming dangerously close to Lucius's head.
"Not now," James told her, taking the broom gently from her hand.
"How come you get to be the cool-headed one?" Lily complained.
"I've been standing out in the cold longer," he told her, slightly ruefully. Lucius looked at them mockingly.
"You know, just out of the kindness of my heart, I think I won't say anymore." Lucius sneered nastily while Lily stifled giggle about his kindness. "But only so I can take greater joy in beating you both on Saturday." He smiled.
"Yeah, you're going to beat us," Lily told him sarcastically. "And the stars are going to start raining from the sky."
"You said I was the sarcastic one?" James bent around to look her in the face. She smiled.
"Uhh..." One of the bulkier slytherins scratched his head.
"No, Crabbe, the stars are not going to fall from the sky!" Impatience was creeping into Lucius's voice. "She was being sarcastic!"
"So..." Crabbe paused for a moment in deep contemplation. "If the stars aren't going to fall from the sky, we're going to lose?" He looked to the quidditch captian for approval.
"NO!" Lucius looked thoroughly exasperated. "Just...go." He waved his hands around in fury. Crabbe, of course to this literally, and turned to leave. "No you idiot!" Lucius screamed, once again. "Stay! Don't move! Don't think!"
Lily and James were in hysterics. Lucius scowled in them.
"You're not going to find it quite so funny when he rams you over in the game this weekend." Lucius was not happy.
Lily couched, and cleared her voice. "I really must congratulate you, Malfoy. Perfect strategy. Pick the dumbest players you can so know one can guess the depths of stupidity they'll go to."
"Hey..." Crabbe tried to figure out if he had been insulted.
"SHUT UP!" Lucius screamed. "Just shut up. Is that clear? Can you get that through your abnormally thick skull?" Lucuis was frustrated.
"I always wondered how you made friends," James commented, quite innocently.
Lucius laughed evilly. "No, this is how I make friends." He turned to Lily. "I purpose a little bet." James opened his mouth to protest, but Lily nodded. "If we win the quidditch match on Saturday, you get to go to the dance with the abnormally long name that I really don't feel like saying with me."
"RPDBHACTITBWDCIHIE." James muttered. Lucius ignored him.
"And if you win-"
Lily cut him off. "You're going with Crabbe." Lucius scowled, but nodded.
"Fine." He said.
"Fine. You know," Lily said, turning to James. "Speaking of bets reminds me..."
"Can we have the field now?" Lucius asked, clearly at the end of whatever patience he might have.
"Sure." Lily started tugging an unwilling James behind her. "As I was saying, I believe you have a certain speech to make tomorrow...
"You wouldn't."
"I would."
"Please?"
"I've already given you permission to make the speech, James."
"Lily, you can't be serious."
"Yes I can..."
Well, I meant for them to start argueing, but i guess bi'll have to wait for the puppy love to wear off. Despite all the sarcasm, i'm actually in a good mood, so please review so i can stay that way. Oh, and i ran spell check this time (which i normally am too lazy to do) and realized that instead of putting barely in, i put barefully. Well, i like barefully better, so it's staying.
First of all, i know i have a billion things going at once, sorry bout that. I've decided to continue the ones that are most successful, and let the other ones sit to see if people like them. Which means, review if you want them continued.
