Chapter 7: Writings

"What's with the long face?" Olivia asked, sitting next to Brian on the sofa.

Brian looked at Olivia, and turned his attention back to the fireplace.

"HELLO... Brian...? Are you okay?" Olivia asked worriedly. Brian definately didn't look okay.

"Caught his girlfriend kissing another guy." Aries said 'helpfully', a smug smirk pasted on his face.

Olivia's eyes widen, feeling: 1.Terrible with the fact that Jade had cheated on Brian  2. A bit relieved..

"Oh god... " Olivia frowned, hugging Brian. "How could she do that to you?"

"I wouldn't know, you should ask her." Brian muttered.

Brian was definately not pleased with the fact that his girlfriend had cheated on him. Well, any sane guy wouldn't really be pleased. But Brian wasn't really mourning over his loss either. He was just sitting there, staring at the fireplace, with his eyes narrowed, looking just like a captain should be when they had lost a Quidditch game.

Olivia looked at him with concern. "Whose... whose the guy?"

"Some git from her house."

"Oh." Olivia said shortly. "Um, did you, you know, break up with her?"

Brian finally tore his gaze away from the fireplace, and looked at Olivia guiltily. "Not really."

Olivia felt a rush of madness run through her. "WHAT?"

"I said, I didn't really-"

"BRIAN! SHE CHEATED ON YOU AND YOU DIDN'T BREAK UP WITH HER?"

"Sshh, Liv, Ssshh..." Brian hushed. "The first years are watching."

"Well, YOU didn't break up with her."

"Yeah but-"

"Did she seriously cheat on you?"

"Worse," Aries piped in. "She had been two timing him all along."

Brian glared at Aries, while Olivia was too stunned to speak.

"Look, I just haven't had the time to think about it and talk to her about it okay?" Brian explained, obviously from the tone in his voice he wanted this conversation to stop.

"Oh well, fine." Olivia squeaked. Jade had been two timing him ALL ALONG! Oh God, was she a witch with a B.

Brian went back to his fireplace staring, Aries back to his friends, and Olivia went back to her thinking...

Jade had been two timing him. It was just ... weird. She seemed very good with him while in Herbology, where they had classes with Jade. Olivia never seen Brian lose his temper around her, or even at her, and he seemed to pretty much like her.

Who does Jade think she is, treating Brian like that? Brian was the most sweetest, funniest boy Olivia had ever met.

Okay, easy for her to say, since she was infatuated with him.








"Oh God where the bloody **** is Prongs?" Sirius swore.

"Padfoot, stop swearing..." Remus warned, looking warningly at the group of second and first years in the common room.

"Okay, Okay, but where is he?"

"I don't know." Peter said.

"Yeah well, what DO you know," Sirius muttered. Peter had heard that clearly, and felt his heart tear into bits.

"Sorry, Pete, you know how Sirius is when he's in a bad mood." Remus apologized to Peter under his breath.

Peter slowly nodded, but knew that it was the really what Sirius had thought about him.

"Where is he? He's suppose to help us plant the dungbombs at the ladies bathroom on the second hallway!"

"He'll come by, you know James isn't famous for being on time." Remus shrugged.

"We need to do it now, the spell's a 10 hour spell until it explodes, and it would explode right between the two classes before lunch!"

"Well then YOU go." Remus said exasperatingly.

"I need his cloak." Sirius pointed out. "What, you want me skinned by Flich?"

"Just use that Ignorance charm." Remus said. "Prongs could be anywhere. He took the map with him too."

Sirius swore loudly. "I don't know that charm!"

"Oh yeah, and you call yourself the Charms master." Remus said dryly.

"Okay, so I'm not, Lily is. She probably knows it. Where is she, by the way?" Sirius asked scanning around the common room. There was the first and second years, a few 4th years, Brian and Olivia, and Maria and Alison. But no Lily. Or James.

"Where is she?" Sirius asked Maria and Alison.

"Who?" Alison asked.

"She!" Sirius said exasperatingly. Maria and Alison both gave him puzzled looks.

"He means Lily. He needs her help." Remus said helpfully.

"Oh, I see. Uh, we don't know, we were looking for her too." Maria said.

"James is gone too." Sirius said. "And he's got the stuff we need..."

"Another prank huh?" Alison asked.

Remus nodded, but suddenly his face broke into a sly grin. "You don't think James and Lily are out TOGETHER, do you?"

"What? Impossible." Maria said tentivaly. "There's no way they could be together without fighting. But, my last words to Lily today were 'WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED THINKING ABOUT WHY HE DRIVES YOU CRAZY SO MUCH THEN YOU CAN COME BACK AND WHINE TO ME' or something like that."

"Huh?" Peter squeaked, being the slow thinker he is.

"Lily was having those 'I hate James Potter' tantrums, and I asked her 'Why do you think he gets to you so badly?' and I think she went away to THINK about it." Maria explained.

"What if she thought about it and realized she is madly in love with James?" Sirius suggested. That comment made Peter feel sick.

"That is utterly impossible." Alison said, rolling her eyes.







Expect the unexpected, James and Lily were sitting on the bench near the lake.

It was very quiet and awkward for them, because when James came, he just sat down next to Lily and they have been not talking to each other ever since.

Lily was writting in the same notebook James saw she was writing in when she was in the infirmary. He was gathering up his courage to ask her what she was writing, hoping she won't hit him afterwards.

James thought Lily looked so beautiful, the way a few strands of hair kept falling loosely around her face, as she scribbled on the notebook.

"What are you writing?" James asked slowly.

Lily looked up from her notebook. "Huh?"

"What are you writing?" James repeated, with more courage in his voice. (AN: WHat?)

"Oh." Lily said, blushing. "Um, Nothing. Just uh, things. Doodling around."

"Really?" James mused. Lily couldn't have been just doodling. Her face looked so determined as she wrote. She must've had been writing something important.

"Yeah." Lily said, trying to convince him. "It's nothing."

"Alright," James said. Lily was biting her lower lip, she probably was sensing another round of awkwardness.

"So... what brings you here?" Lily blurted out.

James had his hands clasped together. "I was in Hagrid's hut, and I saw you here."

"Oh," Lily said. So, he saw her here. It wasn't anything special right? "What were you doing in Hagrid's hut?"

James turned to look at her, and gazed at her for a moment. Lily blushed and returned his stare shyly, but then James turned back and looked at his hands. "I was talking to him about... stuff."

"I see." Lily said. She hated the awkwardness, she actually hoped James would say something nasty so she could talk back and they could have one of those fights.

"Uhh... well, actually, I also came here for... a reason."

"Oh? What's that?" Lily asked curiously. She was beginning to notice this was her third 'oh' in their conversation.

James kept on looking down, now he was finding his shoes quite interesting. "Uh, well, I... I wanted to, uh, apologize, for... you know, being such a prat all these years."

Lily was surprised. James Potter wanted to apologize to Lily Evans? But, they were enemies! And enemies NEVER apologize to each other...

"So, uh, ... ?" James asked, looking up from his shoes into Lily's eyes.

"Um," Lily mumbled. What could she say? Should she accept his apology? He had been teasing her, making fun of her, playing pranks on her, overall just tormenting her for the past 5 years. Could she just accept his apology like this?

"I know I haven't been... NICE to you, and ONLY to you, ... and, I just want to apologize, for all the bad things I've said about you, for all the bad things I've done to you..."

Lily sat in silence, a million of thoughts running through her mind. Not knowing what to think, Lily opened her mouth, a string of words coming out of it slowly. "Apology accepted."

James who had been watching her while waiting for the answer intensely, grinned lopsidedly, and Lily thought that made him look so cute.

'Oh Bloody hell.' Lily thought. 'First I accepted his apology and now I think he's cute.' But Lily, deep down inside have always thought he was cute, she had just never wanted to admit that.

But Lily couldn't help NOT gazing back at James, staring into the chocolaty brown depths, she felt her lips slowly form into a small smile.

'She's gorgeous.' James breathed, gazing at Lily. He never noticed the small dimple on her left cheek, or the way her eyes brightened when she smiled. Losing himself by just looking at her, James slowly leaned forward, feeling Lily's soft lips against his.

Their lips met for a split second, but electricity rushed through them like a house on fire. Lily pulled away quickly, the electricity coming on to her. She looked at James wearily, and without a word she took off.

'What the bloody ****...' James thought. He was still dazed, she had just left him there! He finally gained his conciousness and gazed at the retreating form of Lily Evans.

'Oh man I should've ran after her, right?' James debated with himself. But for some reason James thought it was better for him to not do so. Sighing, James glared down at his shoes, finding some book scattered open on the grass.

Writings by Lily Evans

'So Lily writes.' James mused, flipping quickly through the pages. Inside were poems, dozens of them, and even short writings. Each were written neatly. James kept on flipping the pages until he stopped at the last page she wrote in.

You are so thick
The way you tease me, prank me...
You don't know how much it hurts inside
When I wake up to find slime on my bed
knowing you did it,
breaks my heart...
Embarrassment is not new to me
You managed to do that daily
But your chocolate brown eyes...
makes me melt
I want to run my fingers through your hair
But for sure it needs no messing up
Hearing your happy laugh
I'm torn between two feelings...
I don't think my life could ever be the same again


James's eyes widen with surprise.

"I want to run my fingers through your hair, but for sure it needs no messing up..." James murmured quietly to himself.

Could this poem be about him? Who else with brown eyes and messy hair could prank her by putting slime on her bed?

James slumped into the bench, groaning.

This was so confusing for him. He never met such a complex girl before. Lily Evans was so different, and yet so special to him.






It was in the middle of the night, you could hear Peter's snores from across the boy's dorm. You could hear Sirius mumbling useless things, "No, I want that bunny rabbit, NO, Maria, no.. that fluffy pink one..." and you could see that Remus slept peacefully in his bed. But, in James Potter's bed, the owner of the bed was wide awake, laying lazily on his bed.

He couldn't sleep, he was thinking about his life, and how down right confusing it's getting.  He's got school, and other duties, which usually keeps him busy. But something else is new in James Potter's life.

Lily Evans.

Of course, she had always been in his life, but never this IMPORTANT. She was usually the one he played pranks on, the one he competed with in his school work. But she was never the one he thought about late at night, unable to take his mind off her, cause she'll probably end up in his dreams.

Suddenly James crept out slowly from his bed, and pulled out a notebook from his bag.

Writings of Lily Evans


Confusing

My Heart is burning
It's full of hate
I wonder why?
Not everything has an explanation
Not everything has a meaning
Not everyone have love
Everything is not perfect

But everything has a good and bad side to it
Fire could be love
Fire could bring warmness and hate
Love could bring nonsense
Love could bring happiness and pain
Gee I'm confused now
Things don't always turn out the way they suppose to


'That was pretty nice' James thought admiringly. He flipped through the pages, reading each and every writing carefully.

I sit here staring up at the ceiling
Thoughts running through my head...
Could this be any more confusing?
My head's spinning...
Warm tears are streaming down my cheeks
Wishing someone could wipe my tears away
Wishing... wishing hard

I'm wishing upon a falling star

Who could ever thought Lily Evans was this ... deep? Well, she certainly never showed this side of her to James. James continued on reading, admiring each and every piece of her writing, before falling asleep, her notebook lay open ontop of his chest.
