Now to the story…
1.1 Night Star
"Go to…Act 2, Scene 3 everybody!" Lily yelled. A mutual groan was heard. It was late already, and Lily was going like a slave driver. They were practicing without any props or anything, but both Lily and James were already visualizing how they wanted the stage to look. Lily lay on the cold stage floor, and waited for her cue. Meanwhile, she could imagine how they could create a lake, then maybe a bench or something…under the stars. The girl playing Chelsea, Serene's best friend walked on stage, moved towards Lily, opened her mouth, and abruptly forgot her lines. Lily lay patiently for the girl, but finally got up, impatient, "We've been practicing for weeks now! Don't you know your lines yet?!" While the girl cowered at this, Lily let out a sigh, "Everyone, just…just wrap it up for today. Eat, do your homework, anything!." The cast gave her a funny look, as they knew that she knew very well that since they were in the play, they had not homework. As the cast filed out of the room, James walked up to the stage. "Well Lil', we might as well practice our songs now that they're gone."
Her eyebrow arched, then relaxed, "I suppose," and she slumped into a chair. Which one do you want to do first?"
James shrugged, "I dunno. I don't care. Do the funny one."
She grinned, "I do like this one."
He shrugged, and began to sing,
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me not
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me
The lady loves me and it shows
In spite of the way she turns up her nose
I'm her ideal, her hearts desire
Under that ice she's burning like fire
She'd like to cuddle up to me
She's playing hard to get
The lady loves me,
but she doesn't know it yet
Lily grinned, and began her bit,
The gentleman has savoir-faire
As much as an elephant or a bear
I'd like to take him for a spin
Back to the zoo to visit his kin
He's got about as much appeal as a soggy cigarette
The lady loathes him but he doesn't know it yet
They began their duet, (A/N: don't wanna interrupt, but un-italics are Lily, italics are James)
The lady's got a crush on me
The gentleman's crazy obviously
The lady's dying to be kissed
The gentleman needs a psychiatrist
I'd rather kiss a rattlesnake
Or play Russian roulette
The lady loves me,
but she doesn't know it yet
She's falling fast she's on the skids
Both of his heads are flipping their lids
Tonight she'll hold me in her arms
I'd rather be holding hydrogen bombs
Will someone tell this Romeo
I'm not his Juliet
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
She wants me
Like poison ivy
Needs me
Like a hole in the head
Everyone can see she's got it bad
He's mad!
The gentleman is an egotist
I'm simply aware I'm hard to resist
He's one man I could learn to hate
How's about having dinner at eight
I'd rather dine with Frankenstein
In a moonlight tete-a-tete
The lady loves me, but she doesn't know it yet
Oh yes she loves me
Dig that shrinking violet
Oh she really loves me
Here's one gal you'll never get
She lo- lo- loves me
Would you like to make a bet
I said the lady loves me
The gentleman's all wet
As they finished, Lily smiled, and as he looked at her, he couldn't help but smile back.
"There you are!"
Lily's head snapped up, and frowned at both James' and her own fan club. Comments ran wildly, "Oh James, you sing so romantically," or "You've got a beautiful voice Lily dear." They both plastered a smile on and edged towards the door. Feet away from the door, they decided to bolt. Running down the halls, they finally stopped by the painting of the Fat Lady. "Perivius," they panted, and the frame swung open to reveal the entrance to the Gryffindor common room. They sat on the chairs by the fire to catch their breath. Lily smiled faintly, and said, "Well, I'd better, um, get to work on the play." James jumped up eagerly, "Need help?" She stared at him strangely, then coldly, seeing who he was, "Not from you Potter." As she swung the portrait door open, many thoughts ran through James's mind. Damn. I want to get to know her. To make her-WAIT! Just you hold it Potter! You did NOT just want to get to know Evans. You did NOT have fun with her today. But…I really, really like-NO!!! You can't- James's trail of *very interesting* thoughts were suddenly cut short when James's large fan club decided to barge into the common room. Groaning like anything, he ran out of the common room, out into the open air. He wandered by the edge of the lake, when he heard a familiar tune.
********
After sitting by the lake, contemplating life in general, a sneaky thought entered her mind. James Potter. He wasn't that bad really. Kinda sweet. He had been really nice to her lately, and besides, he was kinda cu-NO!! Oh no you don't Lillums. Oh no you don't. You just like her. Serene was naïve too. Then she got smart. So did she. They weren't what they seemed. Nothing was. She sighed to herself and found her song creeping into her mind. It was from the play.
Stars, of the moonlit sky,
Always drifting,
Every day and night,
Like the love,
I feel for you,
Wondering, somewhere,
Would you love me too?
Another voice came from behind her, she looked around and saw no one.
And now,
All alone again,
Hearing the voices floating in the air,
My love's all,
That I can give,
But does it show?
When will you know?
She whirled around, looking for the source of the voice. A person walked out from the shadows. She relaxed, "Oh James, it's just you, freaked me out for a minute there. We really need to work on that play. It's mess…" He remained strangely silent. She looked at him, puzzled, "You alright? You don't look too good." He continued to stare, their faces drawing ever closer… "I gotta go!," she said, and quickly ran off, her heart pounding. Don't look back Lily. Go to your dorm, go to sleep, and forget about it…never happened.
A/N: That's it for this chapter! Review! Is the length any better? (
