Just for Hrei-Siren: THIS WILL NOT TURN INTO A LILY/TOM SHIP.
Sissy_6 (Ally&Crissy): I know it's a rubbish chapter, but at least it's a chapter, I wouldn't have written it if it wasn't for your review so ^_^…thanks!
Chapter 11: Tears.
"Urm well," Lily's voice squeaked out the words, "Actually I was just about to go…" Lily was stopped there,
"Meet your boyfriend in the Gryffindor common room?" he smiled,
"No!" Lily shouted at him, Tom jumped back slightly at the volume of her voice, Lily blushed, "I mean, I don't have a boyfriend, not really!"
"Sure you do!" Tom said, "All the pretty girls do," (I'm sorry I know it's cheesy but I have to do it for the story! Sorry)
"Well I don't!" Lily said beaming on the inside at the thought that Tom thought she was pretty.
"But I never said that I counted you as one of the pretty girls," he smirked, and let out a high pitched laugh, slowly laughter broke out all around her, it rang out all the way down the corridor. As Lily looked around she saw a gang of Slytherin boys stepping out from behind columns, statues, wall hangings, she was quickly surrounded by laughter, it had all been a joke, the Quidditch pitch now, all a cheap laugh, Tom stepped forward,
"Lily my dear," he stroked her cheek, " you are merely another victim of the great Voldemorts yearly prank on unsuspecting year one girls, every year its worked, although not always as well as this," with that he let out a short burst of laughter, turned around and walked off, all the other boys just stood there, staring at her. Tom was halfway down the corridor when he turned back; Lily held her breath, getting ready for another bout of humiliation. "Well come on boys, we haven't got all day!"
Several people mumbled, "Coming!" some turned and followed, but pretty soon Lily was left standing alone, tears started rolling down her cheeks, this soon turned to full out sobbing.
"Oh dear my love," said a voice, it was the Fat Lady, "I wouldn't get so upset if I were you. He's just a bad egg who…oh wait a second, I have to open for someone,"
She swung on her hinges, and out stepped James,
"Lily!" he rushed over to her and hugged her tight, "Lily I don't know why you're crying but I do wish you'd stop. Your face it turning all blotchy red!" Lily have sobbed half laughed,
"Boy. You really know how to make a girl feel special," she turned her face to look at his, he was bright red,
"Sorry, you still look beautiful with blotchy skin though!" he flashed a smile,
"That's a bit better, you're learning,"
"Lily, come into the common room, it's late, there's no-one else around, and you can tell me what happened okay?"
"Okay," they climbed through the portrait hole together and Lily suddenly wondered why on earth she had even thought of swapping James for Tom.
The day ended with James and Lily curled up on the sofa together, Lily telling James the whole story, including how she wouldn't change him for anyone in the world.
"I'll get him back for this you know. Riddle shouldn't get away with things like that," Lily hugged him, "I knew you would understand,"
He kissed the top of her head, "I guess I am just a good listener, maybe I should be an agony uncle!
Cheesy I know, rubbish I know that too, but hey at least it's something! Just bear with me, only another week and a bit til my exams are over!!
Oh don't forget to review; it's that little box, right…there.
