Chapter 3
Lily stared at James, wide eyed.
James slowly nodded his head and everyone in the classroom cheered as James blushed.
Lily looked at James and then the classroom and then back at James. Everyone held their breath. Usually when a guy told Lily that he liked her she would usually punch him but . . . maybe James was different.
Lily smiled and said slowly, "That's nice James but . . . Can we just be friends?"
James felt his heart tear in half. The first actually girl he had true feelings for, turned him down!
James nodded again.
The class sighed in disappointment and sat down as the teacher started talking.
When class got out, Lily turned to James, "So are you still trying out for the Gryffindor team?"
"Y-y-yeah, are you s-s-s-still trying out for the Ravenclaw team?"
"Yup and I can't wait!" Lily skipped next to James, grinning.
"I-I-I know right."
"Just one more week until tryouts too!"
"Y-y-yup." James said and fell into silence, kicking a rock absently.
Lily waved at a few people oblivious to James's feelings.
They entered the castle and entered the Great Hall, ready for lunch. As if a reminder, James's stomach growled.
"Bye James!" Lily said cheerfully.
"B-b-bye."
James flopped in his chair, next to Sirius and gathered tons of foods on his plate. Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"James, I don't think I've ever see you eat so much food!"
"L-L-Lily only likes me as a f-f-friend!" James said grumpily and then glared at Sirius remembering the note.
"Sorry lad . . . You know . . . I almost think Lily is scared of having a boyfriend, you know?"
James thought about it for a second and then slowly nodded. "I-I-I think you're right for once."
Sirius grinned and then gave James a pat on the back.
"There's more fish in the sea."
"B-B-But what happens when you only want one certain, unique fish?"
"Then you must not give up on trying to catch this certain fish." Sirius said, through a mouthful of mash potatoes.
James nodded and went into deep thought.
Lily was different. It was like she had two different sides to her. One minute she'd be all tough then the next she'll open up and pour her soul. Yes, indeed, Lily Evans certainly was a colorful fish in a sea of millions of grey fish.
And he wasn't going to give up that easily.
***
James walked out onto the Quidditch field with a determined look on his face.
Today was Quidditch tryouts and James may have looked calmed on the outside but inside he had goose bumps all over.
"All right everyone, listen up!" The Gryffindor Caption, John Bass, clapped. "Today I am going to test each and every one of your skills and me, along with the rest of the team, are going to decide who will fill the two empty spaces up. We need a new seeker and a new chaser. All right, Landon first!"
After a few more people tried out, James sweated when his turn came up and he felt like he was going to puke.
***
"F-f-finally, it's over!" James said, plopping onto one of the empty chairs near the fire place.
"Do you think you did well?" Remus said, nibbling on a piece of chocolate.
"I-I-I guess. I w-w-was really nervous." The other three marauders nodded, understandingly at James.
"Have you thought of a way to tell Lily that you like her?" Sirius asked, nudging James in the ribs with his elbow.
James looked at the wall for a few seconds then slowly nodded.
"What is it?" Remus asked. Remus and Peter had been informed of what happened later that night Lily had turned James down.
"Y-y-you'll just have to wait and see." James said, nervous just thinking of what he was going to do.
The others nodded again.
"Hey James, do you want to play chess?" Sirius asked.
"S-s-sure."
***
"James . . ." Lily said with puppy dog eyes.
"Hmm?"
"Can you help me with my Transfiguration homework?"
"O-o-ok, Lily."
***
"James, do you want to go for a walk around the lake?" Lily asked, grabbing James's hand.
James felt as though he was going to melt.
"O-o-ok, Lily."
***
"Lily, y-y-y-you l-l-look pretty today." James stuttered, blushing.
"Why thank you James," Lily said, blushing harder than James.
***
"James!" "L-L-Lily!"
"I m-m-made/made the Quidditch team seeker!" Lily and James said in unison and then laughed, hugging each other, happy as could be.
***
Today was the first Quidditch match of the season. And guess who it was with? The Ravenclaws.
So far James and Lily had remained friends even though it was killing James inside.
James fidgeted, as he peeked through the door, staring at the crowd of cheering fans. He then glanced over at the other side, where the Ravenclaws were in their locker room.
"I-I-I can't do this," James said, looking over at John.
"Of course you can James! Wait a second . . . this isn't about the game is it?"
James shook his head 'no.'
"Girl problem?"
James nodded.
"Does she make your heart beat fast? Make you feel like you have a reason to live? Make you want to do good and is the first thing you think of when you wake up and the last thing you think of when you go to sleep?"
James stared at John, wide-eyed and then slowly nodded.
"You love her then." John said as if it was an everyday thing.
"W-w-what?!" James blushed, eyes growing wider.
"I said you love her." John walked over to James and patted his shoulder. "I can tell she loves you too James. Good luck with Lily."
"A-a-am I that obvious?" James exclaimed. But it was too late. John was already talking to another player.
James took a deep breath and walked out of the door once they called for Gryffindors.
His eyes wandered immediately over to Lily who was grinning widely, clutching her broom. He smiled nervously at Lily and she waved at him but once the captions shook hands she got in game mode.
Madam Hooch blew her whistle and everyone jumped on their brooms, lunching off.
James knew he should've been looking for the snitch but his eyes kept wandering to Lily and what he was about to do.
"LANDON HAD THE BALL AND SHE JUST PASED IT TO-" Sirius's loud voice boomed in the background.
James knew he had to do it now or never . . .
"L-L-Lily!" James called. Lily's head snapped up and looked at him with curious eyes.
"Yeah?"
James took a deep breath. "I love you!"
"What did you say?" Lily said flying over to James.
"I said I love you. The first time I saw you I knew you were different. I know we haven't been friends for even a year but it feels as though we've been friends for a lifetime. You're beautiful, smart, but you're tough unlike other girls and that's one of the many things I love about you. So Lily, please be my girlfriend."
Lily flew right in front of James and without any warning she slapped him.
"You say you love me? Well that's how love feels. It hurts . . ." Lily trailed off and then grabbed a shocked James by the face and kissed him hard on the lips.
James recovered and started kissing Lily back. Lily pulled away and looked over at the cheering crowd, she or James didn't notice at first.
"James, you big git! You're not stuttering anymore!"
James, who was still in shock, grinned and pulled Lily into another kiss.
'I guess love does conquer everything,' James thought.
The End
