Is It Love?
Chapter Six: Fights
On Saturday evening all the girls went to the great hall to have their first lesson of the program of their defense.
James and Sirius went to the great hall too to watch the girls secretly. They went to the kitchens, which were exactly above the great hall, shut the door, leaned on the floor and cast a spell so that they will be able to see the girls.
They looked inside and saw that the girls all standing in front of the teacher, waiting for her to speak.
"Hello girls! My name is Kate and I will be teaching you how to battle, without a wand!" She said, "For start each and everyone of you will have to just let herself loose and try to kick the dummy, that you will receive, as hard as she can. To make it easier the dummy will become the person you hate the most, but don't get any ideas!" most of the girls laughed.
Then Kate continued, " Please separate from each other and wait for the dummies to appear. Then try to beat them up, there are some levels of difficulty that you will go thru." She said and everyone separated.
"This is going to be interesting!" James said to Sirius and Sirius nodded. They started watching all the girls who were trying their best to fight with the dummies. (The dummies, of course, fought back but it didn't really hurt.)
"Look there!" Sirius pointed to a short Huffelpuff, called Kelly, who was trying to hit as hard as she can the dummy who was looking like Frank Longbottom, her ex- boyfriend, but with not much success. James and Sirius were both laughing like crazy.
"Oh my, look at that hottie!" James showed Sirius a tall, blond seventh year that was wearing short tight pants and a very small top. She was jumping up and down to protect herself from the dummy. James and Sirius were looking at her for some time until-
"Oh god! Here's someone you should definitely not mass with!" Sirius said and pointed.
James looked and saw - Evans! Her hair was all around her face, her green eyes filled with hatred and she was kicking very good and hard the dummy. And the dummy was looking like - James!
"She's on the highest level and she is really good Prongs! And she's also really hot!" said Sirius, but James didn't answer. He was too concentrated in looking at her. Inside he was a bit sad.
*Did she really hate him that much?*
Of course, they weren't on good term with each other but he didn't hate her so much that he wanted to hit her! Apparently she did.
*She's so beautiful like that!* He thought and suddenly realized that he was thinking about Evans!!!
He quickly looked to the other side of the hall and concentrated on a pretty Ravenclaw and forgot about Evans.
When the lesson was over Lily walked towards Kathleen so that they will be able to go back to the tower together. But before she could reach her she saw Bertha Jorkins coming to Kathleen and they started talking to her excitedly. Lily thought it was just some gossip and because she was too tired to hear it she went to Emily and Anne and they walked together to the Gryffindor tower.
When they walked inside they immediately saw the Marauders and their fans sitting near the fire. Remus was reading a book, Peter was doing his homework and James and Sirius were entertaining the girls that have already came back. At the moment James gave one of he's famous smile to one of the girls.
Suddenly Lily saw that Potter, no matter how much she would deny, is cute!
She didn't really like to think about it so she just went up to the dormitory and took a shower.
When she got out she saw that Anne and Emily were still in the common room and only Kathleen was in the room.
"Hey!" Lily said to her.
Kathleen had a strange look in her eyes. "I just talked to Bertha Jorkins, and she told me something very, very interesting!" she said and looked at Lily in a strange way.
"Did she tell you something juicy?" Asked Lily and started organizing for bed.
"Don't act so innocent Evans!!" Said Kathleen angry.
"What are you talking about?" Lily said puzzled.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about!" Kathleen almost screamed.
"No I don't!" Lily said truthfully.
"You snogged with George Patil!" Kathleen really screamed, "I can't believe you Lily! I told you that I really like him and you do this thing behind my back! I thought you were my friend! But I guess I was wrong!" she said and got in to her bed and shut the curtains.
Lily was shocked. She didn't even touch George! How could Kathleen think such thing?
"Kathleen!" she called her but got no answer. She tried again and again but then decided that if Kathleen was so stupid not believing her and not wanting to hear her then it was her loss.
Lily got to bed too and went to sleep.
On the next morning things didn't get better. Kathleen completely ignored Lily and Lily did the same.
Lily's mood was getting worse and worse all day long.
James walked towards the great hall when suddenly he heard around the corner familiar voices, he stopped and listened.
"Well, well, well, isn't that the famous Evans?" He heard Snape's cold voice asking sarcastically.
"Leave me alone Snape" He heard Evans answer with a hint of saddens in her voice.
He knew immediately why - her and Kathleen's fight was known to half of the school already.
"But I don't want to" Snape said, "Not when you, Potter and all of those stupid Gryffindors are enjoying making fun of me. Don't think I can't get back at you! Did you like the little rumor I spread on you and Patil? Enjoyed it? It's only the beginning Evans!"
And before James or Lily could say anything Snape yelled something and James heard Lily starting to scream but suddenly stopping.
James quickly ran behind the corner and saw Snape standing pointing his wand on Lily, who was laying on the floor unconscious.
"LILY!" James screamed her name for the first time in his life. He walked towards her and, because he knew no lifting charm, he carried her to the hospital wing. (A/N How romantic!)
When he got there he gently put her in one of the beds and in the moment the nurse, Madam Hudson, came in.
"What on earth happened to her?" She asked James.
"A Slytherin cursed her." James said quietly and looked at Lily worried.
"When will you ever learn?" She said.
"It wasn't her fault!" Said James, who had the sudden urge to protected her, "She didn't do anything!"
"I wasn't accusing anyone." Said Madam Hudson "Now leave, she needs rest!"
James didn't move: "But she will be ok right?" He asked worried.
"She will be fine." She assured him, "Now get out!"
James slowly left the room and made his way to the great hall.
He couldn't take out the picture of Lily, laying on the bad. He was now getting more and more mad.
It was all Snape's fault! It was just a stupid prank! How could he be so evil?
When James came to the great hall he saw that Snape was imitating Lily scream and fall and all the Slytherins laughing. That did it for James. He stormed to the place where Snape was standing and before Snape could do anything -
BAAM
James punched him on the face hard. Snape fell on the floor surprised.
"APOLOGIES TO LILY!!! NOW!!" he yelled at Snape so hard that the entire hall was listening.
"What you did was the most stupid thing ever!!!" He yelled, "It was only a prank! And you spread rumors on her and then curse her!!! YOU LITTLE SCUM!!!" he wanted to yell at Snape some more but just then McGonagall came to the hall.
"Potter! What are you doing?" She screamed "20 pointes from Gryffindor and a detention!!! Snape and Potter go to my office now!" She said.
James tried to argue but McGonagall didn't want to hear.
He slowly walked to her office with Snape, who was bleeding. (A/N yes!)
They both sat down and waited for McGonagall.
After she came she told them she already heard what Snape did and therefore she will take 20 pointes from Slytherin too and give him also a detention and, to James's joy, he had to apologies to Lily.
But to James's big annoyance he needed to apologies to Snape! He did it quickly and quietly but almost gave him another punch when he saw how smug he looked about this.
After that she let them off.
James started walking to the Gryffindor tower when he remembered Lily. He went to the hospital wing and was happy that no one besides Lily was there. He walked to her bed and watched her sleeping.
She looked so peaceful.
He looked at her for a while and suddenly she opened her eyes. He smiled at her and to his amazement she smiled back.
"Thanks." She said, "My friends told me that you carried me here and punched Snape."
James blushed but hoped that she didn't see because the room was pretty dark.
"Yes." He said and than, not knowing how or why, he started leaning towards her.
Lily was surprised but even more surprised when she discovered that she was leaning towards him.
They got closer and closer, their lips were almost touching -
"Potter!" Yelled Madam Hudson and made Lily and James jump and quickly get away from each other, "I thought I told you that Evans needs rest, it was already enough after her friends came and made her so excited with some gossip about a boy and a fight and all those nonsense. So out!" yelled Madam Hudson.
Lily blushed too, after what Madam Hudson said, but tried to hide it and James quickly left the hospital wing.
Lily lay on her bed and a small smile came to her face.
Did she really almost kiss Potter? What did it mean? How is she supposed to act to him from now on?
But she took everything out of her mind and just went to sleep with that small smile.
A/N Wow. that is possibly my favorite chapter! I loved writing it! Almost a kiss and a fight in one chapter are a lot! I really hope you like it! Please review! Review! Review! Review!
