[6:30 PM]
Everyone was sitting around the common room, impatiently waiting for 10:45 to roll by. Peter was sitting on the ground, watching Jen make her hair into a zillion little braids with interest, before she let him do the other half of her curls for her after she taught him how. Remus was reading his Defence Against the Dark Arts book and making notes. James was staring at Lily who was glaring at him, and Sirius was joking with Kathy about things they should do to the Slytherins. Lily shot them evil looks from time to time.
"Ah.what do we do now?" Lily finally said, "I'm going mad!"
"Wanna go for a walk?" James said hopefully and grinned.
"No." she snapped and he frowned, sinking back in his armchair, muttering things. She rolled her eyes and looked at the others. "Well?"
"I have an idea!" Kathy said "Why don't we all meet in the gardens at 11:30, tonight?"
"Sure!" Jen said before yelping and scolding Peter for pulling one of her strands too tight as he recoiled slightly from her then went back to helping her, "Sounds good." He said to Kathy.
"Okay." Sirius said and shrugged, trying to contain an evil grin that was threatening to pop on to his handsome face any moment now.
James raised an eyebrow "Why 11:30?"
"Because we're all sitting 'round here like losers on Saturday, and we need to do something, that's a little risky Prongs!" Sirius frowned.
"Fine." James grumbled.
"Ok I guess." Lily said. "It's kind of weird, but, okay."
Remus nodded from behind his book.
"Great," Kathy said and beamed around at all of them.
"But what do we do NOW?" James said, "I'm going to die."
"Really?" Lily said hopefully, but it was really obvious she was joking.
James cracked a grin "Hey, Lily, doesn't that remind you of how we met?" he said, sniggering slightly.
"Ooh, it does!" she said and giggled slightly.
*Flashback*
11-year old Lily Evans glared at James Potter darkly. She got stuck on the same boat ride to Hogwarts with him and she wasn't happy.
He glared right back at her "What do you want Evans?"
"DROWN!" she muttered and pushed him out of the boat, smiling at her accomplishment.
"Ahhhhhh I think I'm going to drown!" he said, but he was half joking, because he was laughing slightly.
"Really?" Lily said hopefully "Will you please?"
"No!" he snapped as he rolled in to the boat again, his glasses halfway down his nose and he was soaking wet. But his hair remained messy.
"Butthead." she said, nearly to herself.
"Shut up Carrot." he smirked.
"Four-eyes!" she shot at him, turning red with anger.
"Shorty!" he snapped and glared
"Pot-head," she shouted.
"Loser!" he sneered.
"IGNORANT!" she yelled and pushed him out of the boat again, and this time he pulled her out with him.
"AHHHH YOU PIG!" she roared and literally tried to drown him before they both got back into the boat.
*End Flashback*
"Yep, that's what happened." Lily said and laughed. She was telling her friends what happened.
Jen was laughing really loud, nearly forgetting Peter who was telling her to sit still.
Kathy was grinning and Sirius was howling with laughter "Pot-head." he said hysterically "that's a new one, Evans!" he smirked.
Lily raised an eyebrow at Sirius "Shut up Black."
James glared at Lily "Its not even funny =_=."
"Yes it is!" she said.
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"YES, YES, YES!"
"FINE!" he snapped. Lily and James turned to find all the other staring at them.
"Wow, they really are meant for each other," Jen said seriously, and Peter nodded, grinning.
"It's what we've told them for the past six years." Kathy sighed.
"I know." Remus said. "Hey Prongs, remember when you told us you fancy Evans?" Sirius said and was smacked by both Lily and James. "It was second year!" he laughed and everyone else did too, except Lily and James.
"I remember how all of us met. Well Lily and James knew each other already, because they're meant to be" Jen sniggered and got smacked by Lily; James on the other hand grinned.
*Flashback*
"What do we do today?" first - year Kathy wailed.
"Shut up prat." Jen said, she was thinking.
"Be nice." Lily said and frowned as she and her friends walked to the Gryffindor Common Room, only to be stopped by James and the other Marauders.
"Potter." Lily said coldly.
"Evans." He said, just as coldly.
"I'M BLACK!" Sirius said and grinned widely, then the grin faded off his face as all the others stared at him.
"Black who?" Kathy said and raised an eyebrow.
"Sirius Black, aren't you?" Jen said and frowned at him, "The butthead who threw mash potatoes today at me at dinner?"
"BUTTHEAD?! I'm not butthead, darling." He smirked. Remus held back his laughter. "I'm Remus Lupin..."
"I'm Kathy, and this is Jen." Kathy said and smiled, a bit air-headedly as if she didn't know she wasn't supposed to be nice.
"And I'm Peter," Peter squeaked and stepped back.
Lily glared at James "Take your goons and get out of the way, Potter."
"What if I don't want to?" James said and grinned cockily.
"Move it." Kathy said.
"What if he doesn't want to?" Sirius said and smirked.
"Don't make me push your pretty boy." Jen said and glared at him.
"I dare you!" Peter squeaked at her.
"Fine." She said and pushed Sirius out of the way.
"HEY!" Sirius yelled as he fell and James helped him up. Remus and Peter moved out of the way and Lily and the girls walked away, laughing.
"He's thicker than my ex-boyfriend, and that's really thick!" Jen's voice could be heard down the hall.
*End Flashback*
"Ooooh, its 11:00, we should go now!" Kathy said and stood up. All the others stood up, except Lily and James.
"Er, I'll follow you guys in a bit, I need to do my Charms homework really quickly." Lily said.
"I have to brush my hair." James said and ran into the boys dorms.
Lily raised an eyebrow and turned to see that the others had already left.
[15 minutes later]
"GET OFF MY FOOT GRISDALE!" Sirius nearly shouted. He, Jen, Kathy, Remus and Peter were sitting in a small tree in the garden, waiting for Lily and James to show up. The garden looked beautiful, it was full of roses and nice looking plants. The moon was shining brightly (it's not a full moon btw!) and everything looked magnificent. There was a path between rose beds and trees, and all of it lead to the place where they took Herbology.
"Shut up Black, it's not my fault!" Jen hissed.
"Shut up, you IDIOTS!" Peter said, putting emphasis on the word 'Idiots'.
A sigh could be heard from Remus and Kathy, who shook their heads.
"How much longerrrr?" Kathy whined.
"Relax, they're going to show." Jen snapped.
Sirius snorted, "Yeah.I hope so...OW!" he frowned; Jen and Remus had poked him in the ribs at the same time. James and Lily were walking towards the garden. Suddenly all of them were quiet, really quiet. Remus had put a silencing charm on all of them the second he saw Lily and James.
"Where are they?" Lily asked, but she was looking around with admiration on her face. She loved the way the garden looked, she had never seen it at this time of day and it looked great in her opinion.
"I dunno." James shrugged, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
Lily sat down on the path and James sat down facing her.
They looked around for a while before Lily turned to James and looked at his face, "What do you want from me?" she asked and stood up, not looking at him.
James stood up too turned to look at her, looking slightly confused, "What do you mean?"
"All these years, asking me out and everything...do you just want another name on the list?" Lily asked quietly, looking away from him
When Lily looked back at him, James looked hurt and angry.
"How could you even think that?" he sputtered.
"Well, you never really cared about any girl you've ever gone out with, it was just for fun, wasn't it?" she retorted.
"Yeah, what if it was then?" James said in a slightly sardonic way, a mean smile on his face, but it wasn't a pleasant smile. He was being sardonic because he was angry. For so many years, asking her out and telling her he cared, and she still wouldn't buy it.
"YOU ARE THE MOST INSENSITIVE GIT I HAVE EVER, AND WILL EVER MEET, POTTER! YOU HAVE NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE OR ANYTHING, AND YOU'RE SO FULL OF YOURSELF IT'S SICKENING!" she exploded.
James was still angry, and he wanted to annoy her, "I know." He smirked and nodded; it was a fast nod, a sarcastic one.
SLAP.
James looked shocked; there was a dark red, painful looking handprint on the side of his face.
Lily was looking angrier than he had ever, ever seen her. Her face was red, real red and she was glaring daggers at him.
"HAVE YOU BEEN JUST TRYING TO GET ME TO GO OUT WITH YOU WITH THAT ACT, DID YOU JUST PRETEND TO ACTUALLY CHANGE AND BECOME A HUMAN WITH EMOTIONS?!"
"I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING I SAID!" he roared, getting angry as well. "YOU ARE SO STUIPED LILY! I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOU TO GO OUT WITH ME FOR YEARS, YEARS LILY! I ONLY WENT OUT WITH OTHER GIRLS DURING THAT TIME SO I WOULDN'T FEEL LONELY, AND I CHANGED, I CHANGED THIS YEAR, JUST FOR YOU, JUST SO YOU COULD GO OUT WITH ME, JUST SO YOU COULD GIVE ME A CHANGE, AND THEN YOU JUST ACCUSE ME OF TRYING TO GET ANOTHER NAME ON THE LIST! I DON'T UNDERSTAND, YOU SAID YOU LIKED ME!" he shouted.
Instead of looking shocked, Lily looked angry, "I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO CHANGE! YOU KNOW WHAT, I HATE YOU!" she yelled to a shocked looking James, hot tears springing to her eyes. She didn't mean it, but she thought they would argue all the time if she actually told him she would give him a chance. And before she could control herself, she yelled "I HATE YOU, WHY DON'T YOU GO.GO.CURL UP IN A BALL AND DIE, POTTER!" she shouted and clapped a hand over her mouth as soon as the words left her mouth. "No...James...I didn't mean...I." she said shakily, looking shocked.
James stood there, looking hurt more than he was shocked and he took a step back. He felt like he just had his heart ripped out and stepped on repeatedly by Lily.
"Fine then.I'll just get out of your face so you'll never have to see me again, maybe I'll die too to make you happier." He said quietly and started stalking back to the castle.
Lily burst into tears, and ran off in the other direction.
Jen sat in the tree with her eyes wide and her mouth open. Sirius looked utterly shocked, as did Remus and Peter. Kathy had a hand clapped over her mouth and her eyes were wide.
"This. Is. All. Your. Fault. Black! YOU AND YOUR IDEA!" Jen shouted and tried to strangle Sirius.
"Wait, wait Jen, I'LL HELP YOU!" Kathy yelled and tried to strangle him as well.
"AAAH STOP!" Remus yelled and tried to pull them apart, Peter squeaked and tried to pull them apart too.
Kathy and Jen pushed Sirius out of the tree, and stalked off towards the castle, fuming. Remus and Peter jumped out of the tree and helped Sirius up.
"I LOVE YOU TOO!" he spat after Kathy and Jen furiously, a hand on his back.
"This is your fault." Remus said and they all walked to the castle silently.
[James]
James was sitting with his back against the bathroom wall, his elbows rested on his knees and his head was in his hands.
'She hates me.' he thought miserably, feeling like he was going to cry, 'she really thinks I don't like her that way...I love her...if only she knew...if only she knew.I love her so much, and I know I won't be able to go on with my life after Hogwarts if she isn't there with me.' he stood up and locked the door, he didn't want to speak to anyone.
BANG BANG
"Pronnngs, open the door, I need to pee!" Peter said.
"Go away." he yelled miserably.
Remus knocked on the door softly, "James? James open up, you can't hide in there forever mate...err...why are you in there anyway?" he asked. He couldn't let James know they saw the whole thing.
"Yes I can...Lily hates me...it's over." James said.
"What's over Prongs? Why?" Sirius asked, sounding much more serious than he usually did.
"Everything." He answered, staring at the mirror with a weird expression on his face. "I had a fight with Lily."
Sirius and Remus exchanged looks of sympathy before Sirius spoke again.
"Why?"
"Because she hates me. I didn't mean anything I said..." James replied.
Remus knocked on the door again, "James, open the door. We won't let you hide in the bathroom forever, if Lily doesn't want to go out with you, then leave it, it's her loss. You can't spend the rest of your life like this."
The door slowly opened and James stepped out.
"I don't want to talk about it." he said quietly and plopped on his bed miserably. "Wanna go catch Snivellus and prank him? It'll get your spirits up!" Sirius said brightly and grinned.
"No.then Lily will hate me even more."
Sirius sighed in defeat and sat on his bed, looking at Remus.
Remus mouthed 'Just leave it, he'll come around tomorrow morning.'
Sirius nodded and tried to fall asleep.
[Lily]
Lily sat on her bed, wiping away tears from her eyes.
Jen was sitting next to her, with an arm around her shoulders, "Its okay Lils, you know he wouldn't actually get mad."
"He thinks you're a Queen, he's probably feeling like a loser or something right now." Kathy said, rubbing Lily's back.
"Nooo, but I was really awful to him, I didn't mean it, it's just that he confuses me so much!" Lily said and sniffled.
Jen smiled at her, "It's not your fault...you just don't know how he really feels."
"I don't want to talk about it anymore." Lily said and fell back on her bed, yawning lightly. She was already in her pajamas. "Tomorrow I'm going to get a head start on my homework and start learning for our N.E.W.T.'s."
"Lily, we have a whole MONTH left to do that!" Jen said and frowned.
Kathy gave her the 'shut up and leave her alone.' Look and turned around to sleep too.
Jen sighed and walked over to her bed.
After a while, all the girls fell asleep. Lily had a dream. She was 29 years old and sitting alone in a house, holding a picture of James in her hand, and her other friends were in the background. She looked miserable...really miserable and messed up.
Lily sat up in her bed, and sighed slightly. "It was just a dream.it was just a dream...my life will NOT be like that" she told herself silently before trying to go back to sleep. But Lily couldn't sleep for two hours that night.

Everyone was sitting around the common room, impatiently waiting for 10:45 to roll by. Peter was sitting on the ground, watching Jen make her hair into a zillion little braids with interest, before she let him do the other half of her curls for her after she taught him how. Remus was reading his Defence Against the Dark Arts book and making notes. James was staring at Lily who was glaring at him, and Sirius was joking with Kathy about things they should do to the Slytherins. Lily shot them evil looks from time to time.

"Okay." Sirius said and shrugged, trying to contain an evil grin that was threatening to pop on to his handsome face any moment now.
James raised an eyebrow "Why 11:30?"
"Because we're all sitting 'round here like losers on Saturday, and we need to do something, that's a little risky Prongs!" Sirius frowned.
"Fine." James grumbled.
"Ok I guess." Lily said. "It's kind of weird, but, okay."
Remus nodded from behind his book.

Lily sat up in her bed, and sighed slightly. "It was just a dream.it was just a dream...my life will NOT be like that" she told herself silently before trying to go back to sleep. But Lily couldn't sleep for two hours that night.
