Chapter 5: Lover's spat
James hurried to the library he was going to be late he knew it. Quidditch surprise meetings, James hated them but Genine had insisted that they have a meeting to discus the upcoming match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor. James rushed down the hall almost knocking Dumbledore over. "I'm so sorry Professor I didn't mean it it's just I'm going to be late, and …."
"Quite alright my boy just be careful from now on," said Dumbledore smiling.
And with that James took off in flight toward the library. When he got there he was quite out of breath and breathing raggedly. He scanned the library and didn't see her. James was upset, he had run all that way from the common room! Then something in the corner caught his eye. Red hair. "Lily I'm so sorry I'm late." James breathed as he came over to her.
"James where were you!" James now saw that there was some truth to red heads having the worst tempers. "I have been waiting here for hours! You didn't even so much as send an owl saying you would be late!" Lily's temper was astounding for someone of her stature. Lily was 5'6. While James was a startling 6'1. But that didn't stop Lily from making her point known. "You can't treat me like one of the girls in your Hufflepuff fan club, James Harold Potter! I'm not some dimwit you can come to when you feel like! I am a person who does not need this aggravation!"
Then Lily threw her notes in James' face. "Here are my notes. You can look over them and read them I'm going now!" and with that she swept out of the library and went towards the common room, leaving James in utter shock with Mrs. Pince giving him a glare that said look at what you've done now.
******************************************************
Lily had been in the room for a good part of the night she was dancing her hardest. Today she was dancing to hip-hop she had to get the anger out of her system. She couldn't believe the audacity of Potter. He had left her there waiting for him in the library for over two hours! She couldn't believe it! How could he have been so cruel! Ugh. She just kept dancing and didn't notice someone standing there in the doorway watching her. When the music stopped she turned picked up her things and was about to leave when she noticed that certain someone standing there in the doorway blocking her. "You!" she said rage shaking through her. "What are you doing here!?" she questioned then it hit her and she remembered her other agreement with McGonnal. Shit! She thought silently remembrance washed over her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, James, I forgot," but then she remembered her anger and spoke quickly. "Well come on hurry up I'm not staying here all night," she said.
They carried on in silence for the next half hour, Lily only speaking when necessary. When James couldn't take it anymore he spoke up. His own anger seething in his words.
"Look Lily I realize your angry but cant you forgive me it wasn't my fault I was late, I was-"
"James I don't care where you were! And as far as I'm concerned we are only here so I can keep this room!"
James just stood there puzzled by what she had said. 'So I can keep this room' James wondered silently then voiced his question. "Lily what do you mean keep this room? Don't you have permission to use it?"
Lily answered him only because she knew if she didn't he wouldn't continue to dance and she would never be able to leave. "I have permission now but McGonnal gave it to me on one condition I had to teach the Gryffindor quidditch team to dance." Lily sighed. "I don't really want to have to teach anyone else I just want to dance to myself but McGonnal found me last week I was here dancing and I hadn't any permission from any teachers. So I had to agree to teach the team and you separately to keep the room for my own personal use."
James couldn't believe it Lily, perfect Lily, had broken a rule! She was always so perfect and rarely ever broke any rules. "Uh Lily," James began "I just wanted to say I'm sorry that I was late and that it really wasn't my fault because-" Lily was about to interrupt but James gave her a look that said if you don't listen to me your never going to hear the end of it, and Lily quickly shut up. "Because I was at a surprise quidditch meeting. Genine calls them out of the blue I didn't even have enough time to tell you I wouldn't make it. I'm really, really sorry but I couldn't leave."
Lily was shocked she had no idea she had sincerely thought he had just blown her off. "James I'm sorry I should have listened to you, it's just that I really wanted to get the work over with and get to the studio (a.k.a. the room Lily dances in). I should have listened and not have acted irrationally."
"It's ok just please listen next time?" he asked making sad puppy eyes at her.
Lily burst out laughing at his silly face and agreed, "Ok, ok, just don't make a big deal out of it."
James smiled happily. And this had given him enough courage to ask her something. "Uh, Lily," Lily looked up into his eyes his blue ones gazing into her brilliant green ones. "Would you … would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?"
Lily looked at him in shock. James Potter the most eligible guy in school (with the exception for his friends Remus and Sirius) had just asked her to go to Hogsmeade with him! Lily was slightly confused. She looked into his eyes she would do anything to just keep gazing into them. His eyes were an exquisite shade of deep blue like the ocean she thought to herself but then was shocked back to reality. She remembered her friend Danielle and what James had done to her and how upset she was. "No," was her simple reply.
James looked on in wonderment, "What do you mean no?"
"I mean no. What am I supposed to mean?"
"Why not?" he asked hurt. "I thought we were getting along.
"James I am not about to become your flavor of the week," and with that she walked to where her stuff was sprawled on the floor and picked it up. "Goodnight James." she said as she left the room and James staring at her in utter disbelief.
