Chapter 4
James on the Mind
By UltimateFairyQueen
*~*~*
Five years had passed and that little tingling/ familiar feeling that always crept up on Lily and James when they were around each other was still there and what made it worse was that the two now hated one another because of it! On top of all that Lily Evans was dating none other than Severus Snape!
"So Lily, do you want to do something tonight?" James asked jokingly.
"Yeah, I would go out with you in a million years!" Lily replied.
"I'll be counting! So that means only what," James asked counting on his fingers. "8,760,000,000 days, right? Don't forget a million years isn't that far way!" James called while he walked away.
"What was that about?" Severus asked coming up behind Lily and wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Nothing," Lily answered turning around and giving Snape a quick kiss on the nose.
Sirius stopped James as he walked around the corner. "Man, look at those guys! That's soooo gross!" Sirius mentioned and pointed to the "happy" couple that had their arms around each other. "And I have the perfect plan to make them, uh, not so happy! What do you say?" he asked.
"I'm all for it! What about you Remus?" James asked excitedly.
"I don't know! That would be really mean! O.K. I'll do it! Anything to make Snape unhappy will make me happy!" Remus replied.
"So what's the plan?" James questioned Sirius excitedly.
Sirius smiled evilly, "You'll soon find out my dear friend. But you must be patient, because I heard their plans for tonight and they sound quite interesting!" Sirius commented trying to act wise
"Will you stop rambling already? If we plan to go tonight then we need to get started since this class is our last one for today," Remus announced as they walked into the Charms classroom.
"Do we need any supplies or equipment or just our wands?" James wondered as he sat down then he spotted Lily with no one but he best friend Piper sitting next to her and decided to yell over, "There's still only 8,760,000,000 days left, Lily!" and she threw a disgusted look back at him.
*~*~*
"What was that about?" Piper asked Lily. "8,760,000,000 days left until what? That's like a billion years, isn't it?"
"Actually if a million and I said that I would go out with him in a million years and he told me that he was counting and apparently he is!" Lily answered.
"That's really pathetic! But he's soooo cute!" Piper remarked with a goofy grin on her freckled face.
"Piper, get over him! Goodness, girl, he's nothing but an arrogant, bigheaded fool," Lily stated nonchalantly.
"Yeah and he's been going after you for the whole five years we've been here!"
"No he hasn't, he's just trying to make me mad and it works because everyone knows that we hate each other, and that's all I'm going to say!" Lily said ending the argument, so she thought.
"You don't really like Severus, do you?" Piper asked in a small voice.
"What are you talking about? Of course I like Severus or I wouldn't be dating him, Piper, I don't know where you get these crazy ideas!" Lily snapped.
"I know you don't like him," Piper muttered again in even a smaller voice.
"O.k. if I don't like Severus then who do I like and how do you that I like him?"
"You like James."
"Oh really? Now tell me, how do you know this?"
"Do you want one of the reasons, or all of them?"
"All of them! I mean how many can there be?"
"Believe, more than you would think!"
"I'm sure, now tell me!"
"Ms. Evans, Ms. Johnson, please be quiet or I will me forced to take points from Gryffindor, you have an assignment that you both should be working on that is due at the end of class so will you please begin on that as well?" Professor Flitwick stated in his small, squeaky voice. "Thank you!"
"Sorry, Professor," the two girls said at the same time to their favourite teacher.
*~*~*
Class ended only twenty minutes later and with Lily and Piper being the two bright teenagers that they were they finished in ten and had time to talk but Lily had completely forgotten about their conversation until that night at dinner.
"So tell me the reasons why I'm in love with James!" Lily said as they sat down at the Gryffindor table.
"O.k. Well the first few would have to be: you told be about that weird feeling you get when your around him, well that's one, another would be that when you claim you were staring off into space you were really staring at James, you talk about him in your sleep all the time and you have his name written in your diary about a thousand times. Is that enough or shall I go on?"
"That's fine but can I at least argue with those reasons?
"Argue all you like but that doesn't mean it's not true!"
"Fine, that feeling thing you were talking about is not my fault, I don't know where or how that got to me but it did that day that me and James met so there!!" Lily said sticking her tongue out at Piper and smiled.
"O.k. that ones good but what about the others?"
"Well, I when I star off into space I'm normally thinking but I don't know why I always look at him while doing so and yes I have his name in my diary, which you shouldn't know, but your putting it way out of context I have in there all the mean things I'm going to do to him when I have the chance and how much I hate him!"
"Yes, but his name is in there nonetheless! What about you talking in your sleep?"
"I'm completely clueless, I dint even know that I talked in my sleep much less say his name! Why did you tell me about that before now? How many other people know about it?"
"The whole fifth year dormitory!" Piper smiled evilly.
"WHAT? EMILY PIPER JOHNSON! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT IT BEFORE?" Lily whispered loudly enough for the whole Gryffindor table to hear.
Many people stared but it was only the girls at the table that now seemed interested in their conversation.
"I didn't tell you because I knew you would react like you just did!"
"Oh," Lily said simply and blushed deeply.
"Would you go away?" Piper rudely asked a forth year who had just asked what she didn't tell Lily. "It's none of your business!" and the little girl left on the verge of tears.
"Hello, ladies! Did I miss something?" James asked as he sat down in the seat next to Piper while Lily hid her head in her hands. "O.k. I really did miss something, didn't I?"
"Bugger off, James!" came Lily's muffled reply.
"All right, fine, I can see when I'm not wanted! I may not care but I can see!" and with that he jumped up from his chair winked at Piper and left the Great Hall to go find Sirius and Remus. "I'll be seeing you tonight!" he mumbled to himself thinking of Lily and the wonderful plan they had in store for her.
