James + Lily- Chapter 7
By ~Misty~
A/N: Hello everyone! Sorry for keeping you all waiting, but I did have major writer's block, I know, I know it's no excuse. However I am trying to make it up to you, I've been thinking of how to make this story better, so there may be a few changes from the original style of writing. It's for the story's own good though, so bare with me. Again any suggestions or comments are welcome. Hope you enjoy :)

Lily stood rigid as James kissed her, wondering why he would do this sort of thing now, it was not funny, it was a sick joke. She had gotten the clue that James didn't like her that way, why did he have to rub it in her face? Disgusted, Lily pulled away, looking into his emerald green eyes. She squinted, something was wrong, they were turning black.... "James, what's wrong with your eyes? They are turning black!" Lily exclaimed, purely terrified. James gasped in horror and fled to the castle. Lily watched him in a dazed amazement, what was wrong with him? Lily shook her head to clear it and began trudging up to the Common room to discuss this occurrence with Abrella when someone tapped her shoulder. She whirled around. It was James again. His face was flushed and his eyes were as bright emerald as they always were, maybe even more glowing than usual, due to the fact Gryffindor had flattened Slytherin. "James!? What are you doing back here!" Lily demanded glaring at him.
"Why are you walking back up without me?" James asked, a look of uncertainty on his face.
"Because you went ahead of me earlier, don't play games with me James." Lily frowned.
"Huh? Play with you? I just got on the ground!" James exclaimed.
"Sure James, stop being such a jerk to me!" Lily cried, she ran away without looking back, right into the girl's dormitory. Furious, Lily lay on her stomach clenching her fists repeatedly. 'How could James do this to me again, what a scumbag. After everything he still fools around with my feelings like a game of exploding snap....' Lily thought, hoping Abrella would come in soon so that they could talk. Lily laid her head on her arms and her eyelids grew heavy. 'Maybe I'll just close my eyes for a bit then...' she thought wearily 'after all I've been up since dawn...' with this last thought Lily fell asleep, dreaming of James Potter riding high above her on his broom, just out of her reach, laughing at her.

Lily yawned, "Hello? Whose there?"
"Oh it's just me, Abrella, you've been asleep since the match. James was worried about you, said you called him a jerk. What's wrong Lily?" Abrella asked anxiously, coming over to plop down on Lily's bed.
"Oh, him."
"Yeah, him. He's really anxious...."
"Well, he can go shove his broomstick up his arse for all I care!" Lily declared.
"Lily!" Abrella chided, absolutely shocked.
"Well he can!" Lily grumbled, propping her head on her arms.
"Lily, what happened today?"
"He, Abrella, he.... he kissed me."
"He did!" Abrella shrieked, "that's smashing! Why are you so upset then?"
"Because, he ran away after he did it, and denied running away afterwards. Something funny 'bout his eyes too, they were turning blackish." Lily explained.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, really."
"He didn't mention the kiss."
"Probably couldn't believe he did it, some big mistake."
"I don't think so Lily...."
"Oh you don't do you?"
"No, I don't, I think he meant it all right."
"I don't."
"Lily, don't be a dolt! You are in love with him, and he is in love with you, are you blind or something? Even if you were, can't you feel it?" Abrella asked softly.
"No. He simply doesn't feel that way, why don't you go ask him yourself! Maybe that will make you understand. He taunts my feelings, he hates me now." Lily snapped. Abrella stood up, smoothing her skirt.
"Good idea Lil, think I'll go ask him right now!" Abrella declared marching out of the room, a firm look set on her face. Lily sighed; this wasn't going to be fun.
"Maybe he'll finally admit the truth, and then maybe he'll stop torturing me." Lily whispered, hot tears dampening her pillow.

"James, what'd you do to Lily? She's all upset!" Abrella demanded coming down the stairs from the girls dormitories.
"I dunno. Did you ask her?" James asked curiously.
"Yes, she said, well James, she said you kissed her, and then you ran off. Later on you came up and acted like nothing happened, that really hurt her James." Abrella said glaring at James, "least you could do is stop teasing her if you don't like her that way."
"I do like her! She doesn't like me!" James growled, "and I'm sick of her hurting me over and over again! I did not kiss her, if she wants me that bad she must be getting delirious or something."
"James, really this is enough, you are hurting Lily, I know we had a fight earlier, but this is just plain cruel." Rachel frowned, putting down the large withered book she was reading.
"WHAT!? You people are amazing, I did not do anything to Lily, I did not kiss her I did not even touch her!" James burst out, his eyes blazing.
"Hey, James, maybe you should cool it." Sirius suggested, "I mean the act is really good and all but...it's really starting to get to Lily."
"Do you people have ears? I said I did not touch Lily at all today!" James roared, gathering all his school thing he stomped out the portrait hole and headed for the library, leaving everyone in the common room lost for words.
~*~
James opened the worn book of "Quidditch Through The Ages" to calm his nerves. He inhaled the musty scent and began to read. Reading this book always helped whenever something went wrong, James tried to take out this book and read. Anything about Quidditch was a sure thing to soothe James' fiery nerves. Glancing up he saw a few other people wandering through the library, no one he recognized though. James went up to the desk where Madame Pince sat, and checked out the book. She glared at him the whole time, something about setting loose a bunch of small mammals around the library last school year. Sirius and Remus had helped, what a blast! But now all his friends were mad at him for doing something he hadn't even done, he reminded himself. Growing angrier James charged out of the library and down the hall, right into a boy with black hair and green eyes.... someone who looked oddly like himself. James studied the boy carefully, it was him.
"What the....?" James began, but the figure ran down the hall, out of sight before he could continue.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter :)
