Night Star
The door of the 7th year girls' dorm burst open, revealing a solitary figure sitting quietly on a bed. Lily crept in silently, hoping to be left alone. Not a chance. A light flickered on, and revealed the grinning face of Ora.
"So, where were you?" Ora asked.
"Nothing. Nowhere," Lily answered, pulling herself into bed.
"Sure. Where were you?"
"I-I was by the lake." "Singing again?"
"How'd you know?"
Ora snorted, "That's all you ever do by the lake. Normal people do normal things, talk, make out, that sort of thing. But you? Oh no, Lily sings by the lake."
Lily glared at her, "I like to sing."
Ora snorted, "James was there, wasn't he?"
Lily carefully looked away, "No."
Ora gave her a Look, "He was. I know he was. Just look at you."
Lily could feel her cheeks burn, and answered nonchalantly, "And if he was?"
"Well, did he kiss you?"
She bit her lip, and whispered, "Almost."
Ora's eyes widened considerably, "Almost? What do you mean, almost? How can a guy almost kiss you?"
"Well, I ran away."
Ora flopped onto her bed, "You ran away. You RAN AWAY. You, unlike every other girl in this entire school ran away when James Potter tried to kiss you. Are you insane?"
Lily grew cold, "Well, if you do not recall, before this production, James Potter and I were not on civil terms, nor shall we be after this." With that, she pulled herself into bed, with a curt, "Goodnight."
******************
The next morning, Lily awoke to the feeling of a bouncing up and down motion on her bed. She opened her eyes slowly to see Ora jumping on her bed. Groaning, she pulled the pillow over her head, only to have it yanked away by a grinning Ora. "What are you so happy about?" she grumbled.
"James sent you something," she giggled, and pointed to her desk. All ideas of sleep suddenly gone, she sat up and peered at her desk. On it sat a single lily (A/N: Real original, just brilliant.ugh) and an envelope wiith her name printed on it. She climbed out of bed, and found a small vase. She carried that to the bathroom, and proceeded as normal with her shower. Ora sat back on her bed, wondering why Lily wasn't getting excited, or whether she was just a really good actress. After 15 minutes crept by, the door to the bathroom opened and Lily emerged, looking somehwat more awake, and carrying the vase, which was now filled with water. Sticking the Lily in the water, and picking up the note, she plopped down on her un-made bed. Opening the un-sealed envelope, she pulled out a piece of parchment, enchanted to swirl and emerald green. She unfolded it, Ora peering at it from behind her shoulder:
Lily, Like the parchment? Green, like your eyes, and, well, about last night. I need to talk to you. Meet me in the common room at midnight, tonight.
Yours, James
After a moment of silence from Lily, Ora prompted her, "Well, are you going?"
Motionless, Lily answered, "I don't know."
Dubious, Ora gaped, "You don't know? How can you not know?"
Lily's brow creased, "I just don't alright! Everything's moving so quickly, and I'm so confused. One day we're at the usual stuff, pulling pranks, and insulting each other down the corridors. Then, whoosh, now we're meeting in the common room at midnight?"
Ora smiled and patted her friend's shoulder, "Well maybe he likes you."
"That's what I'm afraid of Ora, that's exactly what I'm afraid of." Ora hopped off the bed and pulled a bit of parchment out of a stack of books. She grabbed a quill off the flor, and wrote intently for a few minutes. She brought the parchment back to Lily, it's ink still glistening. "What's this?" she asked.
"Just something you're going to send a certain someone with the initials of J.P to say that you're coming. All you have to do is sign."
Lily groaned, picked up the quill, and shut her eyes. Hand positioned over the parchment, she signed her name. Lily Evans.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Lily Evans," James Potter whispered to the sunrise.
Sirius turned in his sleep and promptly fell off the edge, "What're you mumbling about now Prongs?"
"Nothing, nothing," he answered. Nothing at all.except everything.
A/N: Well, that ending made no sense, but that's alright. See you all next chap! Oh, and sorry for the long wait in between this chap and the last one cuz I was very busy.
