James + Lily ~A love story about how Lily and James fell in love. By ~Misty~


James felt like he'd been kicked in the stomach.

"Lily, you heard me, and all that time you were awake?" James asked stunned.

"Yes, but please don't get mad at me James..." Lily began.

"No, you don't have to say it, you don't feel the same way, I can't believe you would let me spill my most personal feelings and you didn't even have the decency to say something!" James snapped he flung the invisibility cloak and stormed off, leaving Lily sobbing into her pillow.

James climbed into his bed in the Gryffindor tower, 'How could I have told Lily all of that? Now she's probably going to laugh at me!' He thought angrily 'now she'll probably tell the whole school what I said' James buried his face in his pillow and drifted into a troubled sleep.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning James didn't want to show his face, he was sure that as soon as Lily got out of the Hospital wing she'd be spreading rumors throughout the whole school. But he knew he'd have to face any rumors, or else everyone would think he was a chicken.

"There you are" said a cold voice from behind him, James spinned around to see Lily, her green eyes full of hurt and anger.

"Yes, here I am" James said gritting his teeth.

"Well you don't have to worry about me, I've already got a boyfriend, his name is Peter Pettigrew, and so our original plans to go to the Halloween ball in two weeks will have to be, changed" Lily said and then she stalked away a smirk on her face.

'What? How could she do that after everything I told her? She knows the truth, and she goes and dates another guy, well I'll show her the prissy git!' James thought anger boiling everywhere in his body, especially his heart.

Rachel walked into the common room, 'She is a nice girl, and pretty too, I'll ask her, ha Lily will be so jealous' James thought.

"Hey Rachel" James called.

"Hey James" Rachel said plopping down on a couch.

"Rachel I wanted to ask you, would like to go to the Halloween ball with me?" James asked sitting next to her on the couch.

"Um...sure" Rachel said hesitantly.

"Great, so do you want a game of Quiddicth, with me" James asked hopefully. 'That would really blow Lily's mind' he thought gleefully.

"I guess so" Rachel said getting up and following him out of the common room.

Meanwhile Lily was sitting in the library, she had escaped there without James or anyone else knowing, she really needed to be alone right now.

"Hey Lily," Peter said cheerfully, walking over to her table "want to go outside and watch Rachel and James play Quidditch?"

Lily felt consumed in her anger "Of course, meet me there" Lily said, she would only go there on Rachel's behalf. Rachel was trying to loop around Harry and catch the tennis ball that Remus was throwing when Lily and Peter arrived.

Rachel and James laughed and flirted, even up in the air, Lily was very disgusted. Suddenly she had an idea, "Peter, I want to tell you how I feel about you" Lily whispered just when James flew by she pressed her lips firmly to Peter's. James nearly fell out the air in shock. Lily giggled and kissed Peter again, just to show James how much fun she was having.

At the end of the match James and Rachel landed and James took Rachel in his arms, and kissed her, passionately. Lily ran back to the school, no one tried to comfort her but Peter, who liked being kissed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

James was in the common room making out with Rachel, he was really starting to like her anyway, and besides any glimpse that Lily got of them would make her even more jealous.

Lily came down from the dormitory, her face streaked with tears "James... I" Lily began.

"Don't say a word, go with you little boyfriend" James sneered.

Lily ran out of the common room, Rachel too absorbed in James' kisses to care.

Peter ran after Lily, he found her under a tree down by the lake, crying.

"Lily don't worry come back, you've still got me" Peter said, he kissed her on the lips timidly. Lily wiped the tears away and put her arms around him and forced all of her hate into a driving passion...

The morning sun streaked into the common room.

"Have you seen Lily?" Abrella asked.

"No, why do you ask?" Remus asked.

"She never came in last night" Abrella answered "she might be hurt or..."

"I think I know what happened, Peter never came in last night either" Sirius said in a taunting voice "so put it all together and you've got two people of the opposite sex who happen to be going out and they are missing at the same time!"

What Lily did that night shall only be revealed in the next part. BWWWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Please tell me what you think! Maybe some suggestions, Thanks ~Misty~
