Chapter Three: From Bad To Worse
"LILY EVANS!"
Lily whirled around to see a triumphant James, smiling broadly at her. She turned back in her seat and looked straight ahead. Oh no, I won't be able to get through one night of studying with him around me! She thought frantically. Then, she heard a sudden whisper in her ear,
" Don't worry I will learn to grow on you and maybe so much as to you becoming my girlfriend," James said snidely. She could have slapped him. With those comments of his, we wont get anything done, she thought savagely.
"Now, like I have said, these are only temporary, and after the tests, you won't ever have to study with these partners ever again. Now I expect you shall get a lot done and my expectations are high, for you are my brightest class and I do not want to regret this. Miss Evans, are you feeling all right? You look a little green."
Lily looked up at her and shook her head sullenly.
"All right then. Lets begin with today's lesson. Now, today we will be studying Animagi, the transformation of people into animals-"
But Lily wasn't paying attention. She was barely hearing McGonagall. This is a nightmare, a true nightmare, she thought.
This is a dream come true, a pure dream, thought James distractedly, Whole nights of studying with Evans. Wonderful. In her next three classes, Lily tried to pay attention, but James's face kept coming back to her in her thoughts like it did last night. She could not understand it, when she imagined the study nights with him, she grinned. After History of Magic, her last class, she was heading up to the common room when someone came running up behind her. She did not look to see who it was until they pulled themselves in front of her so she stopped right in front of them.
"I was thinking, you know, we could have a study session tonight right after dinner?" James asked politely. He was looking at her face with the most hope he had in his eyes. Lily looked straight at him and said,
"I don't think you suppose that we have to study, you know, like really study." She was agitated and James knew it. But I must try, he thought calmly.
"I know we have to study, and I plan on studying."
"Well, alright, fine but where are we going to do it?" Lily asked
He had been hoping she would ask, "Oh, just meet me in the Astronomy tower at about five past seven, alright?"
She studied him for a second before she gave in, "Alright."
James could have kissed her. But he didn't, he merely said goodnight and walked in the other direction. I need Sirius and Remus to help me on this one, he thought excitedly.
When Lily went down to dinner later that night, she saw that the Marauders were all looking at her a sort of excited suspicion in their eyes. She found a seat next to Taylor who was eating a large bowl of stew. She looked up when she saw Lily sit down and smiled largely at her.
"Hi Taylor, nice to see you as well," Lily said laughing
"Well, do you have any plans for tonight Lily?" she asked casually.
"As a matter of fact, I have a study session with Potter." Lily said simply grabbing a potato and cutting it up into little squares.
Emma looked round at her and smirked congenially at her a glint of suppressed joy in her eyes.
"What you're you laughing at?" Lily asked glancing at her curiously.
"Nothing, but doesn't seem a bit strange that he wants a study session this soon, I mean we only got the notice this morning!" Emma added.
"Emma! No, no, no its fine Lil, don't worry you will have a great time, don't listen to Emma." Taylor said giving Emma a snappish sort of look. Emma just opened her mouth at Lily then shut it again looking down at her plate guiltily. Lily had a sudden suspicion that something was going on, but she didn't press the matter. She glanced at her watch and said,
"Well I best be going, I will see you later tonight."
"Ok, learn lots Lil!" Taylor said brightly.
"Be careful!" Emma said looking sympathetic towards Lily. Lily and Taylor both stared at her for a moment, before a sudden movement from Taylor and a sharp intake of breathe from Emma, told Lily that Taylor had just kicked Emma under the table. Lily was about to ask what was going on, when Taylor pushed her towards the entrance hall and ran back to the able waving at her.
When she entered the entrance hall she looked around for a sign of James, but proceeded up towards the Astronomy tower. Why did he want to study up in there? Why not he common room or the library? She wondered this as she climbed the marble staircase up towards the tower.
When she finally reached it, she opened the door and saw James standing there illuminated by a patch of moonlight pouring in from the tower window. He was grinning at her. There was a table with books on transfiguration on it, there was a comfy looking couch, and small torches light by small white candles lighting small patches of the room. Lily looked around and said,
"Well, lets get started then shall we?"
"Yes lets get started," he was still grinning broadly.
Lily pulled one of the books down from the table and sat down on the couch. She began flicking through the book looking for the page they could start on. James sat down next to her and watched her. Her hair fell in curtains around her face, dark and red. Her eyes, so concentrated on the book that she wasn't paying the slightest attention to what James was doing. She found the page and looked up at him.
"Well?" She asked expectedly.
"Wha- oh right, ok. Now the simple spell to turn the bird into a water goblet would be like so, Feriverto. And the wand movement would be small quick flicks with the wrist. Ok?" he asked.
"Alright, like, one, two, three, Feriverto!" a silvery jet of what looked like water sprayed from the end of her wand.
"I did it!" she exclaimed.
"Yes you did." James said patiently. She was so beautiful, so appealing. He wanted nothing more than to tell her how much he liked her. But he didn't.
"Potter, why did you become a tutor when I have beaten you in all the exams?" Lily asked him suspiciously.
"Actually you didn't. I received high marks in all my exams, you did not."
"How do you know that?" she snapped at him.
"I have my ways."
" Oh, but I didn't think the famous flying Potter had ways." She said coolly. She looked down at the book again, smirking.
"That's because you haven't seen them." He said. It's now or never, he thought. "Lily?" he asked, praying his plan would work.
"Yes?" she looked up at him and found that was probably the worst thing to do on her part. A second later, James had grabbed her face and pulled hers towards his and kissed her flat on the mouth. It lasted only a couple of seconds before Lily realized what was happening. She pushing James off her and stood up, the blood rushing to her face.
"JAMES POTTER HOW DARE YOU!" she shrieked. "YOU- YOU-YOU!" she screeched, pointing her finger at him. "YOU ARE SUCH A PRICK! I CAME HERE TO STUDY! NOT TO SNOG AS YOU VERY WELL KNOW! I CANT BELIEVE YOU!"
"Lily, please!" James said standing up.
"YOU PLANNED THIS DIDN'T YOU? DIDN'T YOU!?" she screamed at him. How dare he kiss her when he fully well knows she hates him to the bone!
"Lily! Calm down! Yes I did plan it! I want you to like me!" James yelled. He had said the very wrong thing. Lily's eyes grew rounder and bigger and she puffed out her chest as if to make herself taller than he was.
"YOU ARROGANT LITTLE PRAT! YOU PLANNED THIS? YOU PLANNED TO KISS ME INSTEAD OF STUDY? YOU PLANNED TO GET ME TO FALL STUPIDLY FOR YOU, LIKE ALL THE OTHER IDIOTS WHO HAVE? WELL GUESS WHAT? YOUR PLANNED FAILED BECAUSE NO MORE WILL I STUDY WITH YOU, I WILL NEVER LIKE YOU, AS LONG AS I LIVE!" she finished panting slightly. She was so angry. How could he do this?
"Lily please calm down!" and James grabbed her by the shoulders to hold her still. Lily flung herself from his grasp and swung back her hand, and smacked James across the face with all the strength she could muster. Then she burst into tears and ran from the tower, leaving a shocked silence and a shocked James behind her.
Hey all! I hope ya like it so far; its kind of going by fast but it was hard to write!! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!! THANX!
