CHAPTER THREE-Meeting Prongs
Disclaimer-I own nothing except anything you dont recognize
Since the night of the big kiss, Lily and Amos were inseperatble. They did everything together, that they were allowed to at least. But something was bugging Lily, all those things she read about love in books was nothing like what she and Amos had. She always had to find him, he always expected her to follow him, he bearly ever kissed her anymore, and when he did, it was in privet. They never really got into conversations like couples should. Lily tried not to think of all these things, she did like Amos, what was there not to like. He was head boy, handsome, slick, and every girl wanted to be with him. But Lily sometimes found herself wishing for a boy who didnt put so much time into what he looked like. Oh well, Lily thought to herself, As everyone says, we are perfect together. And after thinking that she would try hard not to cry. Lily couldn't picture herself spending the rest of her life with Amos, as everyone said they are most likely to get married. "what's wrong Lily?" Devi asked one night, walking in on one of Lily's depressed moods. "Oh, nothing. You don't want to hear it." Lily replied, waving her hand to try to change the subject. "Please. I am your best friend and I would be honored to hear out your problems." Devi said with a grin on her face that made Lily laugh a little. "So, go on." She added looking LIly straight in the eye for a true answer. "Well, okay. This will sound completely stupid but I don't think I am interested in Amos anymore. I mean, we never are "together" and it's not what I expected at all." Lily said to her best friend hoping she would talk some sense into her and make her feel better. "well Lily but i am sorry to say this but, THANK GOD. i hated the thought of you and Amos together. He such a little odd ball I am so happy you dont like him anymore!" Devi said with the world's biggest smile on her face. "sorry but its true." She added, trying hard not to smile. "Oh, its fine, I guess your right." Lily said, smiling a little too now, tomorrow, tomorrow she would break up with Amos. This thought made Lily a little sadder though, she hadn't be away from him for a while and what would she do now? She would single and alone. "Okay Devi, tomorrow I will do it." Lily said, a single tear falling down her face. "good." Devi replied, pulling Lily into a big hug and holding her while she silently cried. It wasnt really the fact that she would dump Amos that bothered Lily, it was that she would be alone and everyoen knew her now as Amos's girlfriend, who would she be now? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day in lunch, Lily walked over to the Ravenclaw table, no one paid her any attention because that's where she usually sat, with Amos. He was talking to his two friends and eating lunch. He slid over to let Lily sit down, but still not taking his eyes off his friends and their conversation. "Uh, Amos, dear, we need to talk." Lily said to Amos, though he didnt turn around. Lily suspected he didn't even hear her. "AMOS!" Lily said loudly so he turned around and gave a look clearly saying "what is the matter with you" "Dear, can we talk OUTside?" Lily asked once again, with Amos giving her a weird look but getting up anyway. (JAMES'S POINT OF VIEW)
Ah, she walks in. The angel of my life. God, I feel like a nerd. I just watch her cross the hall elegantly and beautifully, waiting for that time when she might actually sit down, next to ME. but no, once again she sits next to that bastard Amos Diggory the "player" All the guys know what Amos is, it just seems the girls are completely blind to it. God am I jealous though. I feel Sirius's eyes on me as he looks ot see what I am looking at. I quickly look away and ask him "So Padfoot, what are we doing tonight." Hoping to get his eyes away from where mine were moments ago, it was a success. "Well, how about another trip into Hogsmead, or we can go into the girls dorms, for your lover girl Prongsie." Sirius said, it was a failure. "What on earth are you talking about Padfoot?" I asked, hoping he would still not know, but the laughs from the other two boys and Sirius tell me otherwise. "Please, James. We all know that you adore Evans. Give us more credit than that." Remus said with a grin adn a laugh at me, I go slightly red in the face. "why do you suspect Diggory and Evans are leaving?" Peter said pointing to the retreating redhead and the Ravenclaw head boy. " I have not the faintest Idea wormtail, but i suspect James will find out." too late, he missed me, i have already left.
I follow them, undercover as the muggles say it out into the courtyard to a bench, I quickly change into my animagus form, being a stag of course and hide in the forest where I can hear since they are near it. They pay me no attention. "Amos, Listen. I really like you, but I am not sure if I still am interested in you. We never do anything and I always have to wait for you to get ready. I expect we can still be friends." Lily, the beautiful angel told that awful Diggory boy. I don't know if it was just me, but he looked utterly confused. "what?" was all he could spat out of his mouth. "I think we should break up." Lily replied quietly, she looked on the verge of tears, or insanity. Either would be a good guess. "What." once agian, all he could say. "Amos, dont you understand?" Lily said, to my belief she looked a little annoyed. "YOU are breaking up with ME?" He asked, this time at least it wasn't one word, but now I wish he hadn't said that. I was about to lash out at the idiot for such a rude comment to her, but she said something then that I wanted to hear. "excuse me? what is that supposed to mean?" She asked with tears in her eyes, that was something I hope I can fix, i hope I will save her from ever crying again. "Yes, you are breaking up with me, no. if anything I am breaking up with you. You think you can do better than ME? I dont think so. Who do you think will want you now?" Amos said with a smile before adding "Lets forget this dear, I will let it slide as long as you do." then he tried to put his arm around her, I almost broke his neck. "NO, first, this is a break up, me breaking up with YOU, and i can do so much better than you." Lily said, swating his arm away. I wanted to kiss her now, she was so brave, she was an angel.
The fool Diggory just stood there in silence, I am guessing this had never happened to him before, while Lily walked away. I followed her, still in stag form, and it took her five minutes until she realized, a stag was following her from behind. She stoped suddenly, moving very slowly, I guess so I the stag wouldn't be afraid and run away, that would be the stupidest thing I would ever do. I got closer to her and her outstreched hand, and she whispered, " I hate people sometimes."
All I wanted to do was hold her and change her mind now, though impossible, since she hated the James Potter and liked the stag. I wanted to hold her, kiss her, and hug her all at once. It was unbearable. Then the angel spoke again, my lily flower.
"Oh, be happy you just live in the forest, away from all of us awful humans." with that a single tear fell down from her left eye. I think I cried along with her, hoping she didn't see it, it might seem odd for a stag to cry. I pray she didn't see it. I love this girl, I realized at that moment. Why else would I go through all this to just sit with her, to just have her touch me, even if i was a stag. I love her, Lily Evans. Though the only problem was, She hated my guts.
She just sat there with me, still in stag form of course, I think it was for about an hour. Then, with another goodbye and a promise to come back some time, she left. I walked her retreating back leave and I sat there for about five minutes thinking only of her and how much it was nice to have her like me, even as an animal.
When I changed back into my normal James self, I saw it, Amos Diggory walking back to the castle out of the forest, with what looked like lipstick on his cheek and lips and that Slytherin fifth year Victoria Hune on his right arm. He looked smug and she looked like the world was hers. I quickly changed into stag followed them. They seemed to be laughing, adn when I got closer I heard the girl ask, "I thought you were with that weird girl, whats her name, Jily Ebens?" as she fliped her long black hair over her shoulder and smile up at him, waiting his reply, and perhapes death sentence. "oh her, thats Lily Evans, well. I broke up with her, she was too umm, well too slutty for me. She cried of course when I toldher, but I couldn't do it, she just didn't have good morals." Amos said, looking ot the sky, he was a good liar, perhapes too good.
At that moment, I charged at the fool, knocking him down to the ground as the girl screamed and ran off, trying to drag Diggory with her, I stepped in front of him preventing her from doing so, and she ran away. Diggory cowarded on the ground, covering her head and shaking. I looked down at him and changed back into my normal form. "Don't you ever say anthing bad about Lily Evans. If I hear one thing from you, ever, I will personally come after you." I told him, and walked off with him looking at me like the fool he was, but then I added, "if you tell anyone about my animagus form, I will kill you faster than you can say help." then I left. (BACK TO NORMAL POINT OF VIEW)
When Lily walked back into the great hall, feeling a little better since her talk with the beautiful stag, she went straight for the dorms, since today was friday, the day before everyone left for Christmas break, she only had one more class to go to, that was Advanced Charms. There were only a handfull of students in it, including herself, Remus, two Ravenclaws, no hufflepuffs, and one Slytherin. Lily looked forward to this class the most, she was top of the class, and she loved charms. That was the only class she fully understood and beat James Potter in. He was in the average class of charms, but in all other classes, he was top, especially defense against the dark arts. He was brilliant at it and Lily was only at best a little below average. This bugged Lily very much, especially when she struggled, he looked as though it was the simplest thing in the world.
"Did you do it?" Devi asked Lily when lily was going to advanced Charms and Devi was going to divination. "yes, he was a complete jerk about it too." Lily said, remembering the talk, then repeateding it to an angry Devi. "Oh that bastard, i will kill him!" Devi said and left before Lily could stop her. Devi stormed into her class angier than a hornet. "whats the matter Devi?" Morana said, Luciee and Isabelle listening intently. "oh that awful boy Amos Diggory is the matter." Devi said, glaring into space, this made Bethany listen too now as Devi told them about that afternoon. "oh what a jerk, an awful jerk." Isabelle said with a frown. then added, "how is Lily?" "Oh, she said alittle better since she talked to some stag from the forest, I didnt know Stags lived in there." Devi said, not realizing she just caught non other than Sirius Blacks attetion. "excuse me but did you say stag?" Sirius asked, hoping they wouldn't think he was easedropping, but flashing them his famous smile that girls melted over normally. "yes a stag, do they even live in the forest?" Devi said, smiling back making her dark features beautifully stand out. "yes, only one though, only one." Sirius said with a grin then turned back to his crystal ball that he was sharing with Peter and grinning all the while.
Lily sat next to Remus in Charms while she attemted a difficult happiness spell on him, with it being a success, he smiling all the while he tried it on Lily, his was a success as well. All class period they couldn't help but laugh, laugh at stupid things and laugh about nothing. "then, after Amos said that, (giggle) I walked away and a (giggle giggle) beautiful white stag came up and sat with me, firstly I didnt know stags were so friendly and I didnt know they lived on the grounds." some more giggling from lily though Remus just smiled alot now, and said. "Just one, only one does." and laughed along with Lily for the rest of the class period. Devi was a more than happy to see lily so happy for the rest of the night, especially since now she had to tell her something. "ummm, Lily i am sorry but I cant stay over break with you. My grandma just died and I have to go to her funeral." devi said, but Lily didn't seem all that upset, especially since she would be the only one there. Damn cheerful spell thought Devi. "oh okay then." Lily replied then fell asleep.
When Lily woke up in the empty dorm room, the depressed mood from yesterday came back and tehn realized she was alone. She got dressed and headed with a book down to the common room, her long red hair up in a simple pony tail. When she looked down the stairs, she saw a 16 year old boy standing in the common room. His messy black hair standing up in all directions, his skinny tall form very noticable since he was only in pajama pants, his bear chest a little muscular, not like most guys but not bad. Lily just kinda stood there, staring at the exact opposite of Amos Diggory. Then she headed down stairs, remembering she hated the kinda cute Potter boy. 'no, he is not cute, he is an annoying conseded boy.' lily thought and sat down on the couch. Hoping James wouldn't notice her. "oh sorry, well now, I thought I was the only one here this break, i was wrong I now know." James said from behind her, then sitting next to her. Lily was alittle uncomfortable with him only half dressed. "so, why are you here over break?" james asked with a smile at her, Lily then finally looked at him, his hazel eyes looking straight into her green ones. It sent shivers down her spine. "Oh my parents had to go to my sisters fiances house, I would rather not go." Lily said quickly looking away from his beautiful eyes. "sorry, i have to go back to my dorm, bye." with that she left a shocked James potter behind.
She shut her door and sat on her bed. "I do not like James Potter, he is not my type. He is not cute, he is an awful, vain guy who would never like me." Lily said to herself. "I do not like him, he doesnt even like me." "I believe if a person askes another person out say 60 times, they might get the hint that the other person likes them." a male voice said from the door way, damn, she didnt shut the door all the way. "excuse me." Lily said. "well, I have asked you out like 60 times, and you think I dont like you. Sorry to easedrop but I thought I would set you straight." he said with a smile, and sat down next to her on her bed, still only half dressed. "but I take it by the way you were talking, you dont like me." He added his smile leaving his face. "well, i just dont know you is all, and you always pick on people, which I do not appreicate." Lily said, getting up and going to her doorway.
"but I am willing to learn more about you." She added and left. 'why does she always leave me stunned.' James thought to himself and went to get dressed.
During Breakfast, Lily sat at the end of the lunch table, afraid if anyone knew about her and Amos. Lily was so worried that no one would understand that she didn't realize James Potter sit next to her at the table. When Lily finally did look up, she saw him, in a blue sweater and jeans just eating cereal. Lily never saw him look so peaceful and normal, then his gaze shifted from his bowl to her eyes and he smiled. Once again, shivers were sent down her spine and she looked down. "Good morning Lily." James said hoping to get her to look at him again with her almond shaped green eyes. "Good Morning Potter." Lily replied and ate some toast. 'ah, why wont she just talk to me.' James thought and got up from the table to go outside. Lily's eyes watching his retreating back with wonder.
Once James got onto the grounds he took out his wand and shouted "ACCIO NIMBUS 1000!" and within minutes he was up in the air zooming around the grounds. James loved to fly, it took aways all his thoughts and feelings and he loved he air going through his hair and face like water. He completly forgot the temperature outside and just flew.
James zoomed around for all afternoon, forgetting about lunch completely and then, about five at night, he walked up the steps to the castle. "Ah, had a nice fly James?" Proffessor Dumbledore said from behind James with a child like smile on his old face. "oh yes proffesor, very nice." James replied with a grin and left to put his broom away. after james did this, he left for Christmas eve dinner in the great hall, hoping to at least talk to Lily.
When James entered the great hall, the few students who stayed behind were already eating. Then he looked around for a certain redhead, and found her at the end of the table alone once again. He took the seat next to her and looked at her. "Where were you all afternoon?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow. "Or do I not want ot know?" She added. "Oh, I was flying around the grounds. Ever flown before?" He asked trying to catch her eye, which she kept down. "Only in the first year lessons. I wasn't very good." Lily replied and laughed some what. "oh well then I will take you sometime." James said smiling, and she finally looked at him, and smiled. They were in silence the rest of dinner, not the bad silence, comfortable silence that was wonderful.

"oh her, thats Lily Evans, well. I broke up with her, she was too umm, well too slutty for me. She cried of course when I toldher, but I couldn't do it, she just didn't have good morals." Amos said, looking ot the sky, he was a good liar, perhapes too good.
At that moment, I charged at the fool, knocking him down to the ground as the girl screamed and ran off, trying to drag Diggory with her, I stepped in front of him preventing her from doing so, and she ran away.

"Did you do it?" Devi asked Lily when lily was going to advanced Charms and Devi was going to divination. "yes, he was a complete jerk about it too." Lily said, remembering the talk, then repeateding it to an angry Devi. "Oh that bastard, i will kill him!" Devi said and left before Lily could stop her. Devi stormed into her class angier than a hornet. "whats the matter Devi?" Morana said, Luciee and Isabelle listening intently. "oh that awful boy Amos Diggory is the matter." Devi said, glaring into space, this made Bethany listen too now as Devi told them about that afternoon. "oh what a jerk, an awful jerk." Isabelle said with a frown. then added, "how is Lily?" "Oh, she said alittle better since she talked to some stag from the forest, I didnt know Stags lived in there." Devi said, not realizing she just caught non other than Sirius Blacks attetion. "excuse me but did you say stag?" Sirius asked, hoping they wouldn't think he was easedropping, but flashing them his famous smile that girls melted over normally. "yes a stag, do they even live in the forest?" Devi said, smiling back making her dark features beautifully stand out. "yes, only one though, only one." Sirius said with a grin then turned back to his crystal ball that he was sharing with Peter and grinning all the while.
Lily sat next to Remus in Charms while she attemted a difficult happiness spell on him, with it being a success, he smiling all the while he tried it on Lily, his was a success as well. All class period they couldn't help but laugh, laugh at stupid things and laugh about nothing.

"Just one, only one does." and laughed along with Lily for the rest of the class period. Devi was a more than happy to see lily so happy for the rest of the night, especially since now she had to tell her something. "ummm, Lily i am sorry but I cant stay over break with you. My grandma just died and I have to go to her funeral." devi said, but Lily didn't seem all that upset, especially since she would be the only one there. Damn cheerful spell thought Devi. "oh okay then." Lily replied then fell asleep.
When Lily woke up in the empty dorm room, the depressed mood from yesterday came back and tehn realized she was alone. She got dressed and headed with a book down to the common room, her long red hair up in a simple pony tail. When she looked down the stairs, she saw a 16 year old boy standing in the common room. His messy black hair standing up in all directions, his skinny tall form very noticable since he was only in pajama pants, his bear chest a little muscular, not like most guys but not bad. Lily just kinda stood there, staring at the exact opposite of Amos Diggory. Then she headed down stairs, remembering she hated the kinda cute Potter boy. 'no, he is not cute, he is an annoying conseded boy.' lily thought and sat down on the couch. Hoping James wouldn't notice her. "oh sorry, well now, I thought I was the only one here this break, i was wrong I now know." James said from behind her, then sitting next to her. Lily was alittle uncomfortable with him only half dressed. "so, why are you here over break?" james asked with a smile at her, Lily then finally looked at him, his hazel eyes looking straight into her green ones. It sent shivers down her spine. "Oh my parents had to go to my sisters fiances house, I would rather not go." Lily said quickly looking away from his beautiful eyes. "sorry, i have to go back to my dorm, bye." with that she left a shocked James potter behind.
She shut her door and sat on her bed. "I do not like James Potter, he is not my type. He is not cute, he is an awful, vain guy who would never like me." Lily said to herself. "I do not like him, he doesnt even like me." "I believe if a person askes another person out say 60 times, they might get the hint that the other person likes them." a male voice said from the door way, damn, she didnt shut the door all the way. "excuse me." Lily said. "well, I have asked you out like 60 times, and you think I dont like you. Sorry to easedrop but I thought I would set you straight." he said with a smile, and sat down next to her on her bed, still only half dressed. "but I take it by the way you were talking, you dont like me." He added his smile leaving his face. "well, i just dont know you is all, and you always pick on people, which I do not appreicate." Lily said, getting up and going to her doorway.
"but I am willing to learn more about you." She added and left. 'why does she always leave me stunned.' James thought to himself and went to get dressed.
During Breakfast, Lily sat at the end of the lunch table, afraid if anyone knew about her and Amos. Lily was so worried that no one would understand that she didn't realize James Potter sit next to her at the table. When Lily finally did look up, she saw him, in a blue sweater and jeans just eating cereal. Lily never saw him look so peaceful and normal, then his gaze shifted from his bowl to her eyes and he smiled. Once again, shivers were sent down her spine and she looked down. "Good morning Lily." James said hoping to get her to look at him again with her almond shaped green eyes. "Good Morning Potter." Lily replied and ate some toast. 'ah, why wont she just talk to me.' James thought and got up from the table to go outside. Lily's eyes watching his retreating back with wonder.
Once James got onto the grounds he took out his wand and shouted "ACCIO NIMBUS 1000!" and within minutes he was up in the air zooming around the grounds. James loved to fly, it took aways all his thoughts and feelings and he loved he air going through his hair and face like water. He completly forgot the temperature outside and just flew.
James zoomed around for all afternoon, forgetting about lunch completely and then, about five at night, he walked up the steps to the castle. "Ah, had a nice fly James?" Proffessor Dumbledore said from behind James with a child like smile on his old face. "oh yes proffesor, very nice." James replied with a grin and left to put his broom away. after james did this, he left for Christmas eve dinner in the great hall, hoping to at least talk to Lily.
When James entered the great hall, the few students who stayed behind were already eating. Then he looked around for a certain redhead, and found her at the end of the table alone once again. He took the seat next to her and looked at her. "Where were you all afternoon?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow. "Or do I not want ot know?" She added. "Oh, I was flying around the grounds. Ever flown before?" He asked trying to catch her eye, which she kept down. "Only in the first year lessons. I wasn't very good." Lily replied and laughed some what. "oh well then I will take you sometime." James said smiling, and she finally looked at him, and smiled. They were in silence the rest of dinner, not the bad silence, comfortable silence that was wonderful.
