Chapter Two - Lonely Lily
"There is lonely and there is lonely,
And then there is how I feel right now." ~ Prince ~
James Potter was by all means, a good-looking guy. Many would say he was the most handsome guy in Hogwarts. Some of the girls thought he was so handsome, they practically fainted when he talked to them, if they hadn't died first. But some, like Lily Evans, thought he was far too arrogant and perverted for his own good.
It was 11 o'clock at night and there he sat in the empty Gryffindor common in what had known to be for the past five years as 'the Marauders Corner' with his three best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. His unruly black hair was as messy and as cute as ever, his crystal blue eyes were shining brightly and his mouth curved into a smile as he saw the red-headed figure carrying a book and quill, descend the stairs into the common room.
"Look who it is Jamie-boy!" whispered Sirius, who also noticed the presence of the red-head in the room. Sirius grinned wickedly at James, who grimaced right back at him, a glint in his eye that no one ever saw at any other time.
James jumped up and whisked over to her side, and she hadn't noticed his presence at all.
"Watcha doin' Liiily?"
Lily shrieked with fright as she swivelled and jumped back, while the Marauders all enjoyed a laugh at her expense. Lily gave them a very sarcastic look, sighed and headed over to the table in the middle of the common room.
She lay down her book, knelt down in front of the table and began to write in the book. But James didn't give up, oh no. He loved annoying Lily, in was one of his major hobbies.
"You didn't answer my question," he said when he was beside her once again.
"And I don't intend to Potter," she said blatantly back at him.
"Oooh, is it something secret? Don't worry you can tell me, I won't tell anyone. Promise," said James in mock sincerity.
"It's nothing that concerns you Potter, now shove off," Lily said as she pushed him softly away.
"C'mon.lemme see." James snatched the book away from Lily. He flipped open a page and read out aloud so that all the Marauders could hear.
He cleared his throat and spoke dramatically. " '.Gypsy and Tom just broke up and Bella has been going pretty steady with Liam for a while now." His voice softened at the next bit. "Everyone seems to have already gone out with someone except me.I don't know why but I just feel so alone.'"
Lily turned beet red, at first in anger, and then in embarrassment.
She snatched the book back from him weakly. "You bastard," she said, her voice filled with hurt. "That was private."
James watched her hug her book tightly and walk briskly up the stairs, avoiding all looks from the four of them.
James bit his lower lip as he turned to the rest of the Marauders.
"Oops," he said, shrugging.
* * * * * * * * *
So she's never had a boyfriend before, thought James after Lily had ran up the stairs. Well I didn't figure that she did. It's not like I've ever seen her with anybody. Maybe she would...no I doubt it. No.don't even think it.
* * * * * * * * *
" 'Ello, 'ello, 'ello." James Potter trudged down the stairs and into the common room where the first years were waiting with Lily and Bella for him and Remus.
In the common room, the first years along with Lily and Bella were waiting for the pair of them. Bella was shaking her head in disapproval at them, but her mouth was curved into a smile.
"You took your time," she said, eyes twinkling. Bella could never be angry at anybody, or not that anybody knew.
"Well we can't be this good looking for the ladies if we don't groom ourselves properly," said James, running his hand smoothly through his hair.
"Speak for yourself Jamsie-boy. I'm no Gilderoy Lockhart wannabe," said Remus. "Unlike you." [A/N: Gilderoy Lockhart - previous attendant of Hogwarts - was sort of a legend/joke. Everyone knew he was a player and that he was good looking, but they also knew that he was very self obsessed.] Lily chuckled loudly, but did not even lift her head from looking at her nails. She was still upset about the previous day when James had read her Journal.
James poked his tongue playfully at Remus.
"Ok guys, I think that we are going to take you on a tour around the school today," said Bella. "Perhaps it would be better if we split up into 2 groups." Bella split the first years into two groups of a mix of boys and girls. ("We don't want them to go through the 'eww boy/girl germs' phase now do we?" Bella had previously said.)
Bella and Lily naturally moved together at first, but then Lily narrowed her eyes at James.
"I don't trust him with them," whispered Lily to Bella.
"Remus is with him," replied Bella.
"Remus is to nice to shove him in line. Plus Remus is his friend."
"Well why don't you go with him then?" suggested Bella, knowing Lily would refuse.
"No way."
"Okay, how about I go with him?"
"Would you? But you have to be firm with him.no.you can't do it."
"And why not?" asked Bella trying to look tough by putting her hands on her hips, but failing.
Lily just stared at her pointedly, smirking with the I-told-you-so look, and then sighed. "I guess I'm going to have to go with him."
Lily sauntered over to James and Remus. "Remus, I think you might have to go with Bella."
"Oh?" said Remus, looking intrigued. "How come?"
Lily sighed. "Because I don't trust him." She pointed to James, but still did not look at him. Remus chuckled and while Lily's back was turned he winked at James and headed in Bella's direction.
Finally, it seemed, Lily had to turn and talk to James.
She looked straight into his eyes, her voice stony, hateful and exhausted, yet intimidating. "Look Potter, I know what you're like and I don't want trouble from you. No funny stuff."
James looked at her blankly for a second before raising an eyebrow and shrugging while giving her a small smirk.
"Alright guys," said James to his half of the first years. "Let's this party started!"
* * * * * * * * * *
James and Lily headed out of the Gryffindor common room with half of the Gryffindor first years' tagging along behind.
"Ok I think we should start at the Library," Lily said to James. Then she turned her attention to the first years' as they walked along. "Hogwarts' Library well come to be a very important place for all of you, especially in your senior years. Hogwarts' Library holds all the books you will ever need in your years at Hogwarts. Its pretty big so at first you will need to ask Madam Fergus to give you books and tell you which types of books are where. But soon you will understand the system used and can fins things yourself. There is a restricted section of books and you are under NO circumstances allowed to go in there without permission. You must get permission from one of your professors to get a book from the restricted section and it is unlikely that they will allow you to get a book from there in your first year. But the rest of the Library is open to you."
"What's in the restricted section?" asked one of the first year boys, Rahul.
"Your name is Rahul, isn't it?" asked James, now taking over. Rahul nodded. "Well mate, let me tell you that the books in there are very gory and very, very cool." James grinned.
"Potter!" reprimanded Lily, quietly.
She was just about to go on when she realised that they had reached the library.
"Here we are guys," said James. "The magnificent, one and only, Hogwarts Library!" he said dramatically. The first years' giggled and Lily rolled her eyes.
The first years' gasped as they walked in to the library. It was practically empty except for some seniors, as everyone was in class (except those with free periods) and the numerous ceiling-high shelves, filled with books made it look enormous. The first years tilted their heads back and could barely see the top of the shelves.
"How are we supposed to reach those books?" asked one of the first year girls.
James turned around with a grin plastered on his face, but then in an instant the colour drained from his face and the grin disappeared. His mouth was open as if trying to say something, but no noise was coming out.
Lily looked at him in perplexing. She then turned to the girl. "Fiona?" The girl nodded. "Well, they've enchanted the platform so that you can go wherever you want along the shelf."
"WOW!" said one of the boys. Lily just chuckled and eyes fell on James who was still pale and she nudged him with her elbow.
He turned his head to look at her. "Let's go in." He nodded.
They entered the Library and the first years were still awed by the height of the shelves.
"Can we look around Lily? Please?" asked Fiona again.
Lily smiled warmly. "Sure, go ahead. Just make sure you are very quiet, and remember that the restricted section is off limits. Ok?" They nodded solemnly. "Alright, off you go then. Be back here in about five minutes."
The first years scattered. James was about to go off on his own when Lily stopped him.
"What was all that about, back there?" James went white once again and looked as if he were about to throw up.
He opened his mouth and said.
