CHAPTER 3: A day in heaven?
"Good morning my beautiful princess!"
Lily screamed and immediately sat in her bed, only to see James's smiling face directly in front of her. She backed away, and he beamed at her.
"Your eyes are like jewels. I just had to see them this morning" He said lovingly. Lily blinked. Since when.... Then she remembered, and her heart sank.
The love potion.
She forced a smile at James, but felt a pinch of guilt inside.
It isn't real, it's just the potion, it's...
But her heart melted when she saw him. She loved him so much but still, it was the love potion that made him love her....
But it's only for one day! When he'll wake up he'll laugh at himself! His friends will laugh too! Somehow, those excuses worked. She felt much more relaxed.
Julie, (An extremely violent girl who also slept in the dorm) on the other hand, wasn't so relaxed.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! A BOY!!!" She jumped from her bed and delivered a professional-like karate kick straight into James' chin. He fell backwards straight on Lily.
"AAAARRRG! PERVERT!" Julie screamed. She grabbed James and threw him to the other side of the room. Lily never saw such strength in a human being outside the cinema, and she stared at Julie wide eyes. Julie went over to James and kicked him on the ribs.
"Perverted scum! Go away, NOW!" She hissed. James groaned with pain.
"I just... Wanted.... Oooowww...To see Lily... My love.... Ooowwww..." He flinched.
Julie turned over to Lily, furious.
"The YOU invited him!! You little slut, I-"
"Julie, stop... Please don't be so violent... He didn't do a thing..." She pleaded with a tiny voice. Julie narrowed her eyes.
"Okay. But if I ever see him here again...." She moved her finger across her throat, making a slicing voice. Lily winced. Julie was known throughout the school for her violence and her mean nature. Lily just couldn't figure out why she have been sent to Gryffindor and not Slytherin.
James sent a pained look at Julie, then a disturbingly loving look at Lily, and went out of the door.
* * *
Tired, yet happy, Remus Lupin headed to the boy's dorms.
"Hullo Sirius, Peter, James..." He smiled broadly at the three boys. Sirius looked at him meaningfully and Peter seemed a little nervous. But, when thinking about it, Peter was always nervous. James, on the other hand, was lying on his bed looking blankly at the ceiling. Besides them, there was no one else on the room.
"I must say Sirius, you are quite sexy as a dog!"
No one laughed.
Remus frowned. "Sirius? What's wrong?"
Sirius crossed his hands. "Just look at James." Remus looked at James questionably, but James didn't look back. Remus blinked.
"What's wrong with him?"
Sirius narrowed his eyes. "Lily. A love potion. You know the rest."
Remus raised his hand to his mouth and stopped halfway through.
"Lily? But... I thought she was a nice girl!"
Sirius shook his head. "So she wasn't."
"T...That's isn't like Lily... She w... wouldn't do such a thing... I know her..." Peter babbled.
"So maybe," Sirius hissed, "You don't know her well enough"
Peter winced.
James glared at them, looking offended.
"Lily is a great person. I love her deeply. Why must you interfere?" He pleaded.
"Maybe," Sirius growled, "Because she's a little sneaky witch! When I get my hands on her...!"
"She will yell at you for sexually harassing her!" Remus tried to joke. Sirius glared at him sharply.
"Ummm.... I was just tying... Errr... To be... Funny?" Sirius blinked.
"Whatever. Now we have to find out how long before the potion wears out and," He looked at the clock on the table besides his bed, "Go to breakfast. C'mon, let's go!"
So the boys went slowly downstairs, glaring at James, who looked all dizzy with his "love" to Lily, and was whispering her name lovingly every 5 seconds.
Sirius groaned. "Would you care to SHUT THE HELL UP?!" He yelled. James acted as if he didn't hear him. Peter sighed.
"I can't believe Lily did this..." He murmured.
"I can't believe either." Remus commented dryly. "She seemed like a nice girl to me, a little stressed, but okay."
They entered the great hall, and before they could say "quidditch" James was sitting at Lily's side. Sirius narrowed his eyes.
"Must be a strong one. Well, that little witch is going to get her lesson soon" Sirius rubbed his hands with a sheepish grin. "Very soon..."
Remus rolled his eyes. Sirius can be just so immature sometimes....
* * *
"Hello love" Lily jumped at the familiar voice. It was James, again.
"Hi. James. What are you doing here?" She said sharply. James smiled brightly and stroke her hair. Lily didn't move.
"I had to sit besides my love. Only the thought of being away from you..." James shuddered. Lily flinched. Few girls looked at them and giggled, and Lily realized his hand was still on her hair. She shook her head.
"Umm James..."
"Now look what we have here!" Lily grimaced at the familiar and so hated voice.
Severous Snape, a 5th grade Slytherin who always bugged James' gang grinned evilly at them.
"Two little love birds!" He mocked them. James got up to face Snape.
"Shut up you little-" He said few words that if professor McGonagall would hear, she would sure give him a detention. Snape snorted and ran his hand through his greasy hair. Lily wondered why would someone run his hand through such a mass of yuckiness.
But then again, Snape is such a slimeball that he doesn't care about stuff like that...
She thought.
"Hey Snape, have you ever considered taking a bath?" Sirius Black approached Snape with a grin on his face. Snape spun around to face him.
"Oh, look who's here" He said mockingly. "Sirius Black. And-"
Remus Lupin, another friend of James stood besides Sirius.
"Remus Lupin." Snape continued, an evil grin on his face. "Have your mother been hitting you again?" Remus looked away, avoiding Snape's gaze.
Probably doesn't want to look at that slimeball's hair. Lily thought.
"Oh, and I didn't notice you." He smirked at Peter Pettigrew who just came out from behind Sirius.
"Maybe because you're so short" Snape continued. Peter shivered.
"Hey slimeball, what are you doing here anyway? Are your friends disgusted of you that much?" Sirius
Snape sneered. "Dream on. Actually, I have no idea what am I doing here with such disgrace of wizards such as you" And with these words, he finally went back to the Slytherin table.
"Now that was weird." Sirius commented dryly. "Now, James... Lily...."
Lily winced. Oh no....
"About your little love potion flick..."
"I'm sorry!" Lily burst. "I'm really sorry! I was desperate! I never had a boyfriend! Do you know how hard it is to be the only girl in 5th year who never had a boyfriend?!"
Sirius, Remus and Peter stared at her. James just put his arm around her shoulders and said: "Don't worry, I'm here for you"
Sirius rolled his eyes.
* * *
The rest of the day was a nightmare: James was after Lilly wherever she went; In every class he wrote her hundreds of notes, and both lost many points for that, and got angry glares from the other Gryffindors the whole day for that. Snape, of course, made fun of them as well, and the Slytherins who passed by them pretended to be lovers and exaggerated with that, of course. Sirius, Remus and Peter were off with their business, and sometimes sent angry glares at Lily's direction. Lily just blushed and looked down, feeling very guilty.
At last, the horrible day has passed. Lily and James went to their own dormitories, not before standing together at the common room with James whispering how much he loves her and how much he will miss her and so on. Lily was glad that the day was over, but was a little sad, and very frightened of what will happen tomorrow. She could only picture the nasty glares... The angry words...
She climbed the stairs to the girls' dormitories feeling very miserable for herself.
