Thanks to all my reviewers (Annex (my first reviewer ever), Abigail Nicole,
BlueTwilight24, Kinky Kiwi).
I agree with you all, I was so MAD when she killed Sirius! I just stopped reading in the middle of the night (but, of course, I restarted reading as soon as I woke up). It was such a depressing book, wasn't it? Nothing good happened to Harry!
Yes, I made James very mean, but remember, it's exactly what he was in 5th year.
On with the story.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James had whispered so lightly that Lily wasn't sure if she had correctly heard, until she looked in his eyes. He was smiling with anticipation of a new fight. "Well," she decided, "I won't give him that pleasure." She just ignored his comment, and left to go in the common room. Of course, he followed her. It was exactly what she was waiting for. Maybe his friend Lupin had a problem with punishing him for being annoying, but she was a decent prefect. If he even tried to trouble her when she was working, he would have to pay consequences. There was nobody in the common room, which meant nobody to take his defense. That very thought made her smile.
"What are you smiling about Evans? The idea of being alone in a room with me? Or maybe being alone in your cave with me?" he added with a growing smile.
"Potter, if you don't just go away, you're going to regret it," she said surprisingly calmly considering how furious she was.
"Am I supposed to be afraid?"
"Oh, yeah," Lily answered, thinking of all the ways she could make him suffer. They entered the common room.
"Now, Lily, you don't mean that. I mean, you're such a nice girl, how could you ever be violent? And, of course, you wouldn't want to make me suffer, of all people. You have been desiring me for so long."
He didn't have time to finish his sentence. Lily turned to him and hit him. well, right where it hurts guys the most. It took him about a second to register the pain, and then he started insulting her.
"You bitch! That hurts so bad! You."
It seemed that he couldn't find a word powerful enough. He was folded in half, trying to lessen the pain. Lily made him stand up and looked in his eyes.
"I tell you what hurts so bad, Potter," she said, angrier than ever. "What hurts me is to have girls coming to see me in tears because they slept with you and you broke up the next day. What hurts them is beyond anything I can think of. So if your little member here hurts so bad, at least that means that you won't be able to hurt a girl for a few days, and this thought makes me very happy."
Saying this, she went to her dorm to take her books and study a little bit. When she came back downstairs, Potter wasn't there anymore, and Ellie and Jemima were waiting for her.
"What did you do to Potter?" Ellie asked. "When we got in the common room, he was looking... a little upset."
"I just felt it was time to teach him a lesson," she smirked.
Ellie and Jemima looked at each other, and decided they didn't want to know what the lesson was about.
Even if she was pretty happy with herself, Lily was still worried about two things. First you never attacked James Potter without retaliation later, and second, Potter had heard of her cave.
For the first problem, she knew that the only solution was to be extra careful for a few days. She knew there was a chance he would not talk about what happened to his friends. They were all so sexist that Potter would completely lose his reputation if he told them he had been attacked by a girl, especially Lily Evans, and especially what she did. That was comforting because she knew then that she had only one to fear, not four. But that was really the only comforting thought. Potter had been known as pulling very good pranks on his own before.
For the second problem, she had no clue what to do. She obviously couldn't go to her cave for a while, since Potter was very likely to follow her. He had the habit of following people without being seen, and Lily had never been able to find out how he did that, so there wasn't much she could do.
She was so mad at herself for being so indiscreet. If she had just talked a little less loud, nothing would have happened. Not that she regretted at all hitting Potter, he had completely deserved it. He really made girls cry. Lily was sure that Potter and Black together had slept with about half of the girls at school. She just didn't understand why girls kept coming to them, and why they were still so popular. "Whatever", she thought. She had been wandering that for years and had never come up with a decent answer, and she probably never would.
Lily went to bed, not without checking three times that there was nothing foreign in it. She had put a spell on the door so that no unauthorized person could enter, but unfortunately, Potter was smart enough to find a counterspell.
She woke up in the middle of the night, and found herself not able to go back to sleep. She went to the window and looked outside. The night was perfectly clear, and the full moon made it easier to see what was going on. At the border of the forbidden forest, a stag and a dog seemed to be playing together. She didn't know that the forest hosted any not magical animals. "Whatever," she thought. The forest was the habitat of so many creatures that she shouldn't be surprised to see new ones. She went back to her bed and final fell asleep.
