Any way, I hope you enjoy this, I enjoyed writing it.
Review please
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily couldn't help the tear that ran down her Cheek as she stood at her window, over looking the spot where she and James had had their photography lesson. The spot where he had wrapped his arms around her, the place where he was standing dangerously close to her. The spot where they had almost kissed.
His lips had been so close to hers. So close that all she had to do was lean back and press her lips to his. And that had been all she had wanted to do. It had been what she was going to do.
Her back had been pressed against his chest, and her lips had been so close to his, her eyes had fluttered shut as she moved closer and closer to him, and then he had moved away.
Lily had felt like such an idiot. She didn't know why she had even tried to kiss him. She knew that he didn't like her like that. Lily had heard her the other day when he was talking to Remus and Sirius, he liked some one else. Some one else that wasn't her.
Lily didn't even know why she was setting herself up for a rejection like that. She knew he didn't feel that way, she knew he just wanted to be her friend, she knew that he just wanted to teach her how to take pictures, and take some pictures of her, but nothing more.
But Lily had a crush on him. She had admitted that to herself. She had a crush on James Potter. He was cute and totally sweet to her. Lily wanted nothing more than to tell James how she felt, but she was not going to set herself up for rejection.
And she was chewing on her quill again. Lily sighed and threw the offending writing implement across the room. She knew that she really had to stop chewing on quills, she was probably doing her teeth a gums some major damage, but she couldn't help it.
And she couldn't help her thoughts. Lily was half way through her transfiguration homework, but she could not do any more. What had started out as a good copy of her work had soon turned into a draft due to the fact that her thoughts had some how found there way into the ink that marked the page. As she looked over the roll of parchment, she could not help but laugh at how many times she had scribbled out James' name, which was now covered in big black blotches of ink.
With out thinking, Lily picked up her second quill and brought it to her mouth, chewing it. Pulling the quill away, she just sighed. There was no way she would be able to concentrate on transfiguration while he mind was still on that near kiss. There was no way that she would be able to write another 7 inches with out having even more scribbled out words or blotched sections of parchment.
The library was calling her anyway. It was calling her name. Not only for school books, but for recreation books as well. She just wanted to read, to clear her head and forget about James Anthony Potter (Lily took a few seconds to wonder how the hell she knew what James' middle name was)
Standing, stretching the kinks out of her back and her neck, she picked up her quill, put it in her mouth once again and then moved towards the door. Stopping to laugh at herself, she threw her quill across the room where it landed on the floor with the other quill.
She really had to give that habit up!!!
Moving down the stairs, she stopped. She could hear people in the common room. It only sounded like there were 2 or 3 people in the room, and she could tell who they were. Lily would know that voice anywhere.
Glancing around the corner, she confirmed her fears. James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin were sitting around. Lily was just about to turn around and head back up to her room, when something caught her attention. It was her name.
"So, how did your lesson with Lily go?" Sirius asked. Lily smiled and then sat on the stairs, she knew it was wrong to listen to the conversation, but she could not help herself.
"It was interesting" James told his friends.
"So, what happened? Don't leave us in the gut wrenching suspense, we need to know other wise you will be the cause of our untimely end" Sirius dramatized. Remus laughed.
"His life may depend on needing to know, I just want to know" Remus replied.
"Well, it was all fine and dandy up until the point that I kissed her....." James began.
"You did what?" Both Sirius and Remus replied.
"Well, I didn't really kiss her, but I almost kissed her." James replied.
"You almost kissed her? Almost? I don't think I have ever known James Potter to almost do anything" Sirius replied. James laughed.
"So, why didn't you kiss her?" Remus asked.
"I couldn't, I didn't want it to feel like I was taking advantage of her. I mean, I liked her, and I want to be her friend, and you two know that I really want to be more than just her friend, but not for a while yet, I have to get to knew her."
"What do you have to get to know about her? You know all of the details. Lily Evans, Aged 16, muggle born, smart, funny, abso-freaking-lutely gorgeous ... " Sirius began to list. From her spot on the stairs, Lily clamped her hand over her mouth to try and minimize the smile that was erupting. Sirius was saying such nice things about her and ....... Wait, did James say he wanted to be more than just a friend with her?
It was all just so confusingly amazing. James wanted her. But why? James could have had any one that she wanted to have.
".....Plus, she has an awesome body, and I like the way that she is always chewing on a quill, that is rather cute, in a grown up sexy way.." Sirius was continuing. Lily smiled. That was really sweet and a rather strange way.
"You know Sirius, if I didn't know any better, I would suspect that you have a thing for Lily Evans" Remus joked.
"You better bloody not have a crush on her" James replied. Sirius laughed.
"Hey, I was just making a few observations about her." Sirius replied, holding up his hands.
"Well, I would prefer it if you didn't make these type of observations about Lily" James replied. Sirius laughed.
"You are defending her honor already. James, hate to throw around the L word, but I think you are in love with her" Remus smiled. He was joking, and nothing had prepared him for his friends reply.
"I think I am in love with her to" James replied softly.
On the stairs, Lily was smiling so brightly, and the only thing to stop her from jumping around and screaming was the fact that she was still on the stairs, and James was in the next room.
"Whoa, James, stick the broom in reverse for a second here. You love her, like totally love her?" Sirius asked.
"I think so, yeah, I really think so" He replied.
"But you only just met her" Sirius replied.
"Oh really, what happened to all I need to know was her name, age, and the fact that she was beautiful?" James asked him.
"Well, I think you may need a little more info than that" Sirius replied.
"And that is why, if you were listening, which I know that you hardly ever are, you would have heard me say that I want to wait for a little while and give myself time to get to know her before I make a complete ass out of myself."
"Oh, yeah, I remember you saying that now." Sirius replied apologetically. James just sighed.
"I need to know if she likes me before I do anything more. I had a feeling that she didn't want me to kiss her, and that was why I didn't. I don't want to make a fool out of myself and embarrass us both in the process" James replied.
"Well, here is a novel idea, you could just ask her how she feels about you" Sirius replied.
"Yeah, I could do that, she could say that she would rather be friends, and then I could die a thousand embarrassing deaths" James replied
"You are so melodramatic" Remus told his two best friends. Neither of them really knew which one the comment was directed at. Maybe it was directed at both of them.
Well then, Mr. I-am-so-smart-and-you-two-are-drama-queens, what do you suppose we do in order to find out if Lily likes James?" Sirius asked.
"Enlist the help of a mutual friend"
And with that, Remus stood, and began to move towards the stairs. Lily had just enough time to stand and run up the stairs to her room. Got to her room and closed the door just as Remus got to the top of the stairs and knocked on her door.
"Lily, it is Remus, can I come in?" Remus asked through the door. From the common room, Lily could hear James yelling "Remus what the hell is you doing?"
Lily, after taking a deep breath, opened the door.
"Hello Lily, can I come in?" Remus asked again, she stepped aside so he could come into the room.
"Right, I have to ask you some thing" Remus asked her. Lily nodded. "Right so I have this friend...."
"Sirius?" She asked.
"No" he replied
"Oh, ok, James, unless of course we are talking about a hypothetical friend who is really you" Lily questioned. "No, we are talking about James"
"Ok, go on then" Lily replied. She obviously al ready knew what Remus was going to say, so she was going to have fun.
"Well, any way, this friend, James, he has a crush on this girl.." Remus tried to explain.
"And for the sake of the story we will call this girl?" She fished. Remus laughed.
"Lets call her Lily, of course for the sake of the story" Remus replied. "Anyway, James has this thing for this girl named Lily, and he is kind of confused about what to do next" Remus said.
"Well, I think that this girl Lily would want to hear all of this from James himself. So why don't you go and tell James to tell Lily how he feels" Lily replied. Remus nodded.
"Ok, thank you Lily, I will pass that information on to James." Remus replied and left the room. As soon as the door shut, she collapsed back onto her bed.
"He likes me" she giggled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Remus entered the common room. James and Sirius looked up at him expectantly.
"What? What did you say? What did she say? What is going on?" James asked.
"Tell her how you feel" Remus replied.
"You mean it was that easy all along?" James asked.
"Annoying that, huh?" Remus laughed.
Any way, I hope you enjoy this, I enjoyed writing it.
