I love Lily
By: Hay Lin Felton
The First Kiss
"Okay, fine, Lil. I believe you," Lila finally said and Lily sighed in exaggerated relief,
"I am so glad," she said dramatically and Sabrina giggled.
"I believed you the first time you said you didn't kiss him, Lil," Sabrina said, picking a chocolate cupcake from the golden plate in front of her
"Right. So when you asked 'are you positively, absolutely, definitely sure you didn't kiss him?' for what seemed like the hundredth time, you were just trying to get my attention?" Lily laughed and Sabrina reddened,
"It's not you I don't trust, it's James," she retorted and Lily smiled.
"I know, but don't worry about me. I can take care of myself," she shrugged, smiling at her friends. Suddenly, there was a commotion a few seats from her and when they turned to look, Peter was already shuddering violently as if having a seizure. Crumbs of food sputtered out from his mouth as Remus tried to steady him with no such luck.
The other students were now beginning to crowd around him as Remus yelled for the professors.
"Help him! Professor McGonagall Professor Dumbledore! Professor Binns! Anybody, please! He's getting worse!"
Lily stared in horror as Peter did shake more violently, his eyes rolling upward and he was knocking the plates over. Remus looked pale and helpless as he gripped Peter's shoulders, trying to steady him.
Where were James and Sirius anyway? Didn't they notice that their friend was having a problem?
Lily craned her neck, looking for James's familiar tousled jet-black hair or Sirius's long and equally dark and messy hair but she found no sign of them.
Just as the teachers were ushering the students out of Peter's way and helping Remus steady Peter, there was a large explosion four tables from them, in the Slytherin table and then followed the panicked shrieks and angry yells.
They all turned towards the interruption and found the Slytherins covered in green gunk and different boils, warts and rashes were found on their faces. Others even had deformed noses or hairless heads and perhaps the worst one Lily ever saw was Severus, who now had an engorged nose, warts all over his face and arms, and white hair and he looked like he was brutally attacked by a hundred bludgers.
Lily felt a weight from the pit of her stomach as she saw James and Sirius leaning in the corner of the room, smirking as if they had nothing to do with it. Which of course was obviously untrue.
"Marauders!" Professor Zinn, head of Slytherin house yelled and one by one, they all came forward. Even Peter, with his food-stained face and robes stood up from the table and approached the tall, pale and sinister looking Potions teacher.
"Yes, Professor?" Sirius spoke and Zinn narrowed his dark steely eyes at him,
"You think you're so great, don't you Black? You and your famous Marauders!" he spat sarcastically as Sirius fearfully leveled him with a gaze,
"Well, we do, actually. But we certainly aren't responsible for what happened, if that's where you're going, Professor,"
"Oh really?" he eyed every single one of them evenly and Peter winced in his place,
"So, when Pettigrew conveniently had a seizure, you conveniently weren't in your table and the Slytherin table conveniently blew up, is that what you're trying to tell me?"
Sirius shrugged, "Conveniently,"
Zinn's nose flared, "Don't be a smarty pants, Black!" he yelled when Dumbledore placed his hand on his shoulder as the four of them stifled their laughter.
"That's enough, Charles. Lets just finish this up in my office," then he turned to the four, "Come with me," he said, "You too, Minerva, Charles," he nodded to the teachers and they followed
Lily looked at the four of them disapprovingly. They certainly are gluttons for punishment. She shook her head, feeling sorry for the Slytherins. Sure, they were pretty mean. . . well, they are really mean, but nobody deserved that kind of experience.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Later that night, the common room was already empty except for Lily and her friends. Lily was staring blankly at her book as Lila and Sabrina argued over their Divination assignment when the portrait door opened and the Marauders entered, looking tired, disheveled and ironically, grinning broadly. And Lily just couldn't help feeling irritated. How obnoxious could they be? Do they honestly think that their every lame but vindictive pranks are cool?
"What happened?" Lila asked as the four of them plopped on the couch resignedly,
"It was brutal! We had to clean the dungeons only with a toothbrush!" Peter whined, shuddering, "I could still feel that thick gunk on my hands,"
James laughed, "Wasn't it funny when that jar of preserved newts fell on Wormtail? I thought I would just die!"
Sirius joined in and Peter just shook his head, shuddering as if trying to erase that memory.
"I need a shower," he stated before running up to the dormitory, and the guys laughed again.
"So, how bad was your punishment?" Lila asked as she sat beside Sirius,
"Just two weeks of dungeon duty, and no Hogsmeade weekend," he shrugged as Lila gasped a little too dramatically
"That's awful! No Hogsmeade weekends as well?" she shook her head, "Oh you poor dears," she pulled Sirius in a hug and didn't see him wink at James. Remus just shook his head.
Finally, Lily couldn't take it anymore. She slammed her book shut, making Sabrina jump, and gathered all her things.
"I'm going to bed, Bri," she said in a low voice as she headed for the stairs,
"But I thought you were going to help me with my Divination. . ."
"Just copy off my assignment," she said dismissively, pulling out her parchment and tossing it to her friend, "I'm tired,"
She walked to the girls' dormitory but not before glaring icily at James and Sirius.
"Hey Lil!" Lila called out in her whiny voice, and Lily turned reluctantly,
"What?" she snapped,
"Aren't you going to stay for a while?" she asked and Lily shook her head,
"Maybe next time," she shrugged indifferently, before heading up the stairs, "Or never," she added silently.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James crawled into his bed that night and closed the curtains to block of Sirius's snoring. He pictured Lily's face earlier at the common room and knew that something big was up.
In the years he had stalked Lily, he knew how strong-minded she can be when she chooses to and it takes a lot to calm her down.
He turned to his side, picturing Lily's smile, with her green eyes shining and her red hair framing her face. She looked like a goddess.
Finally deciding against sleep, he got out of bed and headed out the door, down to the common room where surprisingly, he found Lily.
She looked up at him and exhaled sharply.
"I thought you went to bed already?" he asked
"Obviously I'm not," she answered sharply, "Now, do you need something?"
James sighed, "Actually, I want to talk to you,"
Lily looked up, "Talk?" she narrowed her eyes suspiciously, frowning as James sat a few feet from her,
"Maybe not exactly talk," he began and Lily's frown deepened, "Okay, that didn't come out too well," he breathed.
"What I'm trying to say is, I. . ."
What was he trying to say?
Lily tilted her head and looked at him impatiently, her frown never leaving her face.
"Um, are you mad?" he asked and that's when Lily's eyes flashed as she inhaled sharply. He braced himself for her blow-up.
"Mad? Why would I be mad?" she asked incredulously and James winced, "Just because you pulled that stupid, and not to mention cruel, prank on the Slytherins just for what? For your stupid attention and reputation? Why would I be mad for something as pointless as that?
"I take it you are?" he asked and Lily's eyes flashed, "Look, Lil, it was just a stupid joke, that's all. It was just payback for what they did to our classmates. . . to you,"
Lily glanced away and James knew he'd hit her.
"Even just once in your life, don't you want to get back at them for all the verbal abuse they've been throwing at you since first year?"
James made a face, thinking of the Slytherin prats that had called Lily different foul and hurtful names, Slyhterins like Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Narcissa Black. . .
Lily shook her head, "I guess I do," she finally spoke and James felt relieved that Lily finally calmed down, "But I still think what you did was downright rude," she finished and James just smiled at her, moving closer.
"Well, I'm sorry I upset you," he said, marveling at her beautiful face. Lily faced him and stared into his eyes as he stared back. He seemed to be absorbed in her deep pool of emerald eyes as he fought the urge to pull her and kiss her passionately, which was what he was dying to do, but he knew better.
"Are you really? Sorry, I mean?" Lily asked and James nodded,
"You know I never want to you to be upset, Lily. I like you so much. You knew that since first year," he breathed and Lily bit her lip, still staring at him with a slight gratifying smile on her lips.
"I realized that. . . but when you started to. . . date those girls, I thought you finally got bored with me and stopped. . ."
"Lil, I never stopped liking you. You were just so mean to me to notice that. I just dated those girls to distract myself since you wouldn't even talk to me. . . I just thought I'd get over my- obsession if I went out with those girls. . ."
"Oh really?" her softened eyes turned steely again as she stepped back, "So, are you saying you didn't enjoy even just one of them while you took her to your bed and. . ."
"Of course I enjoyed it," he said simply and Lily's jaw dropped and her green eyes widened in shock, maybe from his bluntness, "Because I was imagining that I was making love to you," he continued, bracing himself for one of her virginal tirades but all he heard was her ragged breaths,
"Are you telling the truth?" she asked looked up at him, her clear green eyes shining.
James just smiled slightly, nodding as he leaned closer until he felt her soft lips against his. He ran his hand at the back of her neck and pulled her closer. He kissed her lips softly and slowly. Lily sighed as she ran her hands to the sides of his face and returned the kiss equally.
James smiled against her lips, pleasingly surprised at her response as he kissed her more passionately, as his tongue urged her lips to part until Lily finally gave in. He probed his tongue inside her mouth and Lily caught on quickly, doing exactly the same. He pulled her closer as his hands ran up and down her slim back and her arms encircled his neck.
Who knew prim and icy Lily Evans, could be this hot and sexy turning him on like this? James ran his hand under her sweater and over her warm and bare skin when Lily jerked away, her green eyes wide with alarm.
She looked so beautiful even with her tousled hair and smeared lipstick over her slightly puffy lips and rosy cheeks.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh my god," she whispered to herself as she stepped away from him, placing her hand on her chest, unaware that she was clutching the front of her blouse tightly,
"What?" James finally spoke, sounding and looking confused
"This is so wrong," she finally said, on the verge of tears, "I- It's a mistake," she tried to explain and James warily stepped closer,
"No, Lil, it's not. . ." he trailed off as she shook her head violently
"You don't understand! We barely know each other and now we're- we're. . . kissing!" she exclaimed and James couldn't help but admire her flashing green eyes and fiery red hair,
"Lil, it's called chemistry. It's like a feeling of intimacy between two people even though they just met. In our case, we've known each other for about seven years now and I don't think what we have is a lot stranger than. . ."
"Don't you dare lecture me, James Potter! I perfectly know what chemistry is and there is absolutely NO chemistry between us!" she erupted and James sighed,
"Alright, Lil, if you say so," he said, shrugging as he motioned for the stairs to the boys' dormitories and Lily was dumbstruck. She turned to him,
"Is that all you can say?" she demanded and he turned to her, his mouth in a lopsided grin,
"You were hoping for a goodnight kiss?" he raised his eyebrows suggestively
Lily blushed furiously, looking away,
"You are impossible, James Potter," she said in a low voice,
"No, Lily Evans, I'm not impossible. You are," he said, before finally heading up to the stairs,
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Author's notes: Okay, maybe this chapter suck big time but I promise to make it all better after the finals. . . and may I add that I just made Tom Riddle close to their age, two years older, actually to have a bit of edge, if you guys don't mind. This is a fic, anyways so. . .
So everyone, I hope you'll continue to R&R and I'm happy to announce that you don't have to log in to review. . .
Love you all!!!
