James+Lily chapter four: A love story about how James and Lily fell in love- By ~Misty~


Abrella foundLily hunched over a sink wiping her eyes. "Lily, it's going to be okay, I just know it! If James is going to treat you that way he doesn't deserve you!" Abrella said angrily.

"Abrella, you're my best friend, and I know you mean well but I just…need to be alone right now" Lily said softly.

"Fine, I'll just be at lunch, remember we have double Arthimancy later so don't be late" Abrella said softly. Lily nodded, she didn't have that class with James, Sirius, or Peter so she would be fine. 'At least as fine as possible with my heart broken' Lily thought 'the ball is only a week and six days away! Who'll I go with? Certainly not Peter.' Lily grabbed her bag and ran up to the Gryffindor tower and stood panting next to the portrait of the fat lady, the common room door.

"Password?" The fat lady asked.

"Butterbeer" Lily said, and the picture swung open to reveal the hole in the wall that led to the Gryffindor common room. It was empty, so Lily chose a small circular poof with crimson velvet on it by one of the large windows. She opened her Arthimancy book and began completing the homework for today's class, which was in twenty minutes. Fifteen minutes later Lily was walking down to her Arthimancy class, as she turned the corner she saw Sirius walking down the hall toward her.

"Hey Lily" Sirius said coldly, he was still mad at Lily for hurting James.

"You know he's still dating Rachel and smooching in front of me, I dumped Peter because I was the better person!" Lily snapped "so you don't have to act like a jerk!"

Sirius looked taken back "So, you deserve it" he said brushing past her. Lily stalked into the Arthimancy classroom and slamed the door shut. Ms. Clarkson, the Arhtimancy Professor looked up quite startled. She was the only teacher that allowed them to call her just 'Ms. Clarkson', she was young and had waist length blond hair which she wore in one braid, she also wore glasses, which had slipped down her pug nose when she'd jumped in surprise.

"What's the matter Lily?" Ms. Clarkson asked concerned.

"Oh, nothing" Lily said softly.

"Oh come on, I was once a young girl too you know" Ms. Clarkson teased "you can tell me."

"Well, it's just this boy I like, I did something unforgiving to him, but he did it right back and now he's still doing it, but I'm not and I'm sorry, but he hates me now" Lily said wiping away a tear.

"So your telling me that you hurt the guy you like, lets call him Ed, in some way, and then Ed, in order to get back at you hurt you, but you've stopped trying to hurt Ed to make amends, but Ed keeps hurting you, is that correct?" Ms. Clarkson said.

"Yes, how'd you know?" Lily asked looking amazed.

"It happened to me, in my fourth year, but it never did work out, however that's not saying that you and Ed can't work it out, you really like this guy, don't you?" Ms. Clarkson asked.

"Yeah, a lot" Lily agreed "I think I might even love him"

"Well, why don't you take a seat because in a minute your classmates will be coming in and I daresay you don't want them to know about Ed" Ms. Clarkson said smiling. Lily nodded and took her seat. A minute later the bell rang and the class came piling in, Abrella took her seat beside Lily. Remus came in looking very pale, and extremely Ill.

"Remus, what's the matter?" Lily whispered.

"I just don't feel so great, that's all" Remus whispered back and taking his seat. Lily frowned Remus seemed to get sick a lot, ever since their first year when Lily had met Sirius, Remus, and James. Lily flinched at the memory of meeting James, saying his name felt like a whip lash.

"Is he okay?" Abrella asked concerned.

"I don't know, he says he just doesn't feel very well" Lily answered.

"Well that's obvious" Abrella observed.

It was six at night and Lily and Abrella were sitting in the Gryffindor common room playing wizard chess. It was exactly like muggle chess that Lily's sister Petunia had, except the pieces moved where you told them instead of the player moving them. Suddenly James burst into the common room carrying Rachel who was giggling like an idiot. Lily felt herself boil with anger, "Wow look at the perfect couple" Lily snapped and she stalked up to the girls dormitory.

"You could stop flouncing around Rachel, you are supposed to be her friend" Abrella said sharply following Lily upstairs.

"Yeah, well things change!" Rachel said kissing James' neck as he set her down, "Hey where's Remus?"

"He's not feeling well" James answered worriedly "in fact I've gotta go!" James ran out of the common room leaving Rachel lost for words.

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

Lily was still simmering with anger in the sixth year girl's dormitory as she brushed her tangled red hair by the window. Suddenly Lily saw a shape running across the lawn, it looked like a deer, and a large wolf dashing after it.

"Oh no! It'll hurt the deer!" Lily cried grabbing her wand and running down the stairs into the common room out of the portrait hole and through the halls out into the entrance hall. Lily ran out into the cold night air in her blue flannel pajamas, her chest was beginning to hurt because of the lack of air. She ran to where she'd seen the Wolf and Deer from the window. Lily began to follow the sounds when she saw the Deer running with the Wolf close behind.

"NO!" Lily yelled, suddenly the wolf turned and headed straight at her! Lily pointed her wand at the wolf and yelled "STUPEFY!" a huge shower of stars rocketed toward the Wolf who dropped on the ground, stunned. Lily looked anxiously around for the deer, but where the deer had stood was a boy, he looked furious. Lily looked at him closer, Lily gasped, it was James! Suddenly a large black dog galloped straight for her, he was coming to fast to run, besides James might get hurt, so Lily stood in front of James and cringed waiting for the impact…

Ooooooooooooooooh aren't I mean! What's going to happen next will only be revealed in chapter five! Please tell me what you think! Thanks, ~Misty~
