Harry Potter: What Should Have Happened
DISCLAIMER: Please don't sue me; I don't own any of this stuff besides the plot and Emily Piper Johnson, thank you! (
AN: For those of you who read these (which isn't a lot of people) you shouldn't read these because they're a waist of time! Unless the author puts in BIG letters 'READ THIS'.I wouldn't! Sorry if I took so long with this chapter. I realize it's been a while but high school is about to start and it's my first year so I'm beginning to freak out a little bit and haven't had time to write, thanks for your patients.
Chapter 8
Hogsmead
By UltimateFairyQueen
*~*~*
"Lily! Wake up!" Piper yelled into the six teen year old ear.
"Go away, Piper, it's too early to be up! It's not even a school day!" then a light went on and Lily jump out of her bed, "What time is it?"
"It's almost 10 and we leave in less then five minutes to go to Hogsmead, I've been trying to get you up for the past thirty minutes!" Piper explained as Lily ran around the dorm trying to get ready.
*~*~*
"Oi! I like that one!" Piper exclaimed as Lily exited the dressing room and a green dress of medieval fashion.
"I don't know it makes my boobs look too big!" Lily stated.
Piper giggled, "I think your mystery man would like it!" and Lily blushed.
Just as Lily was about to walk back into the dressing room an owl entered a window that happened to be open and landed on Lily' shoulder. Piper began reading the note that was attached to the owl's foot while Lily pet the owl sweetly, 'Lily, I have decided that I will be wearing a jade green that's almost the same colour as you're-,'
"Who let that owl in here?" a woman from behind the counter asked when she finally saw it. "Young lady, there's a sign outside on the door that specifically states that no pets are allowed in the shop! Can't you read?"
Lily looked near tears; "No ma'am, I can't!" she said sadly and turned away.
"Oh, I'm very sorry dear, yes well I really need to take that owl out of here," the women said more sympathetic this time.
"I don't mean to be rude or anything, but you just embarrassed her, the least you could do is let her keep the owl!" Piper remarked patting Lily's back a little.
"Well, I suppose you're right, and again I'm very sorry!" and the woman left.
Turning around Lily couldn't stand it any longer and she burst out laughing, scaring the owl slightly. Piper was a bit bewildered by what Lily had done but was getting a good laugh out of it as well.
"Now this is something you don't see every day!" a male voice said from behind the two giggling girls.
The teens immediately stopped, and hid the note quickly. Had they been caught?
"I must say, Lily, you look stunning!" it was James.
Lily blushed slightly, "Thank you," she stammered and ran into the dressing room to cover her red face.
"What are you doing here?" Piper asked as James sat down on the bench in front of a room.
"Finding something to wear to the Christmas Ball, same thing as you and Lily it seems."
"You're a guy, why would you be shopping for an out fit now? The ball's not for another week and a half!"
"Well, I came before everyone else would, to avoid a crowd!" James responded half answering the question.
"Do you have a date yet?"
"Yes," James replied simply but wouldn't answer who he was taking.
"Lily, would you come out of there? I still have to try on a few dresses!" Piper called through the door.
"Is he gone?" Lily whispered back.
"What?"
"Is he still out there?" she asked a little louder.
"You'll have to speak up, I can't hear you!" Piper smirked to herself, she knew exactly was Lily had said, both times.
"Is he gone yet?" Lily asked again.
"No, he's not gone yet! He's waiting for a room!" Piper replied and knew that the red- head was blushing furiously.
"If you want me to leave then you should just tell me!" James said to Lily.
"That's okay, I guess." she answered and came out of her room.
"Alright." James said not really sure what else to say.
*~*~*
"Oh, my gosh!" Piper exclaimed later that afternoon.
"What?" Lily asked blandly.
"We just spent the whole day with James Potter!"
"So?"
"Have you thought that maybe the mystery guy is James?" Piper wondered.
"No, what made you think of him?"
"Well, after spending that much time with him-."
"It was only two hours!"
"So what. you can learn a lot about a person in two hours! Anyway, the way he talks sometimes sounds almost exactly like you're mystery writer!"
"That's impossible! Why would he write letters to me? He hates me! The only civil thing he's ever said to me was 'go to the ball with me' and that was a week ago!"
"That's not true! You two had a very intelligent conversation this afternoon for about forty- five minutes when I was standing in line for our butter beer!"
"Well that was today, but that's different!"
"No, it's not and you know it! So what do you think? Could it be him?"
"I guess. but I'm not going to ask him! I want him to tell me himself!"
"Well what if I ask him?"
"That's fine, whatever you want!"
*~*~*
"Hey, James, can I talk to you for a minute?" Piper asked a little cautiously.
"I don't really have a minute, so talk fast." James answered.
"AreyoutheonesendingLilythesecretletters?"
"Some how I understood that!"
"Well are you?"
"Yes, but please don't tell her. I want her to find out on her own or I want to tell her, so please don't."
"I don't know, this would be a very interesting conversation to have with Lily!"
"I'll do anything! Just don't tell her, please!"
"Well before we go into what you'll do, why are you doing this?"
"What? The letters?" Piper nodded. "Well. I don't know if I want to tell you this!"
"Oh, come one what's the worst I can do?"
"Tell Lily!"
"Good point, tell me anyway!"
"I love her-."
"I knew it! But-."
"Let me finish! I'm sending her the letters because I love her and I want her to love me back, if she knew it was me then she would have rejected me in an instant but I'm hoping that with more of the letters that that won't happen when I tell her it was me the whole time on Christmas Eve," James explained.
Piper stood in awe for a moment, "You came up with this all on your own?" James nodded slightly. "Not bad for a Marauder!" and when James blushed she giggled. "No worries, Lover Boy, I won't tell her, she'll never know it's you!" and with that she ran off to go find Sirius to find out what James wouldn't tell her.
*~*~*
"I know who it is!" Piper rang through the common room two days before the ball, James' head shot up and looked at the exuberant teen worriedly.
"I know you know you haven't stopped telling me you know since you found out, so for the sake of your life why don't you tell me already?" Lily responded.
Piper's eyes flicked over to James quickly and back to Lily, then she smiled evilly, "I promised I wouldn't say! But I'll answer any question that you give me."
"Alright. what house is he in?"
"Sorry, I can't answer that!"
"What year is he in?"
"Sorry. can't answer that either!"
"PIPER! You said you would answer any question!"
"I never said I would answer them truthfully though!" Piper announced and bounded out of the room.
"Having a few problems, Lily?" James asked.
"Why would you care?" Lily asked guardedly and plopped down on the couch beside James.
"No reason, you just look annoyed, what to talk about it?"
"Not really." Lily began but then looked at James and realized she needed a guy's in-put and the whole story spilled out of her.
Three hours later the two teens were still talking about Lily's predicament, Piper leaned out of the stair well to peep into the common room and smiled, 'Maybe James will get what he wants even without the letters!' she thought to herself and went back to her dorm.
"Lily, will you go to the ball with me?" James asked quietly since it looked like Lily was about to fall asleep.
"I thought you said you had a date."
"It's kind of up in the air right now, so will you?"
"I have a date."
"Oh," James answered trying to sound hurt but inside he was jumping with joy, she really was going to go with him.
Lily looked at James out of the corner of her eye, "But I would go with you if I didn't!" she added.
James gave himself a mental high-five and smiled at Lily, "I think you need to go to bed." he began and noticed that she was already asleep and laying right on top of him, he sighed contently and reach behind the couch, pulled out a blanket and laid over the top of them.
