Chapter 6: Can't Deny

Well, here goes! I'm a little afraid that people are not enjoying this fic but whatever! There lose. Next chapter will be long and for those of you weak at the heart when it comes to love. Look away. Don't go flameing my romance scene here guys! Its fun and I like it. Did I forget to mention that this chapter will have a song that I do not own? *Someone yells from back* "Song STEALER!" I yell back, "Freak in the back row!" This continues...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(a/n: This song is Sheryl Crow "The First Cut Is The Deepest" My favorite song on the whole planet. Now I am going to shut up so you can read)

(a/n: Okay, maybe not. Now when you see the first 3 *'s across the screen, that means the song starts playing. Anymore *'s are just scene switches. You know, like in the movies when two people are missing each other but denying it? Well, it's like that. The song is playing even though the two are totally oblivious and to concerned in there own thoughts. Now I will really SHUT UP!

(a/n: My computer is making these weird characters! Help me! How do you undo it?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, Lil's, were heading over to Sally's for a sleepover! Leaving you the whole common room to yourself" said Tammy, struggling to hold her sleeping bag and all the goodies she had under one arm.

"Alright. Have fun" she said glumly.

"Bye Lil's" they said heading for the door.

"Wait, You two! I must confess something to you. I've been thinking for a few days and does James seem a little more mature this year?"

The two girls shook their heads slowly, not very sure were this was all going.

"Does he seem nicer to you?"

The girls shook their heads again.

"Does he seem...sexy?"

They shook their heads in the opposite direction than before.

"Lily, what are you getting at" the said in unison?

Lily blushed furiously and let her hair fall in front of her eyes.

"I-I-I think I love James."

"Ha, very funny Lily" said Tammy cracking a smile. Sam looked shocked.

"I don't think she's kidding Tammy", said Sam.

Tammy and Sam exchanged glances.

"Bye Lil's" they said again, and walked out the door.

"They don't believe me," said Lily looking to the door, "No one will."

James looked up at the ceiling, fighting back all the anger he felt inside. Sirius had left his side; he hadn't seen him for days. The dance was tomorrow night and he would never snag Lily. It was hopeless and so was how long Sirius was going live. He played with his snitch he stole, letting it go to impossible lengths and catching it mid air. James just wished he were dead. He wished he had never listened to Sirius. Hannah was a bitch. She was clingy, over bearing and impossible. James glanced down at Hannah, holding onto his waist and sleeping on his abs. How was he to perform an opening dance with someone who hated him and his guts? You can't, so maybe he should just give up on being Head Boy?

*** 'I would have given you all of my heart, but there's someone, who's torn it apart. And he's taken just all that I had. But if you wanna, try to love again. Baby, I'll try to love again but I know. The first cut is the deepest, baby I know. The first cut is the deepest, When it comes to being lucky, he's cursed, when it comes to loving me, he's worst. I still want you by my side. Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried. And I'm sure gonna give you a try, if you wanna try to love again. Trrrry, Baby, I'll try to love again but I know, oh, The first cut is the deepest, baby I know. The first cut is the deepest, but when it come to being lucky he's cursed, when it comes to loving me, he's worst. I still want you by my side, just to help me dry the tears that I've cried. But I'm sure gonna give you a try, cause if you wanna, try to love again. Baby I'll try to love again but I know, The first cut is the deepest, baby I know, The first cut is the deepest. When it comes to being lucky he's cursed, when it comes to loving me he's worst. The first cut is the deepest, baby I know, The first cut is the deepest. Try to love again.'

Lily sat in front of her vanity. Applying make-up the way Muggle girls do. She took the blush and slowly moved it over her left cheek and then here right. *** James let the snitch go and caught it. He fiddled with it, messed up his hair and shifted uncomfortably in his seat. Why could he never win the battle of 'Love and War?' *** Lily stared at herself in the long way mirror and let out a sigh as she starred at her own reflection. "I love James Potter." She glanced around and said it again and again, and again. Lily Evans loved James Henry Potter. There was no beating around the bush anymore. She could not deny her heart any longer. It was like living a lie and she wouldn't and couldn't do that to herself. She took out a piece of parchment and a quill.

JAMES,

MEET ME IN THE GIRL'S DORMS AT 8:30 TONIGHT. WE NEED TO TALK. YOU'RE DEAREST FRIEND,

¤LILY

She tied the message to her owl, Lucy, 's foot and let her fly. *** James laid his head on the couch, watching the fire crackle. The flames danced and licked the wood with a passion.

"James" said Remus, glancing out of the portrait to the boy's dorms. "We'll be waiting for you upstairs. Marauder meeting at 9:00."

James glared at him and Remus shut the portrait.

Lily's owl landed softly on his arm. Disturbing James thoughts and worries. He took the parchment off the owl's leg and read it. James read it over and over and over again. Lily wanted to talk and he wouldn't miss it for the world.

______________________________________________________________ Sorry to leave you there but the next chapter is the "Romantic Chapter". So for those weak at the romantic heart, don't read it and later PRETEND you know what the heck I'm talking about. I have a little out-take for you guys because of the over all dullness of this chapter. :o)

I'm singing the song along as it plays. A curtain pulls up and Sheryl Crow is playing her guitar and sitting on a stool, singing. **Throws hands in the air and starts running around in circles, jumping and screaming** Me: Ohmigosh, Omigosh, Oh My GOD! Its Sheryl Crow! In person! On my set! James looks up from the couch and Lily comes down the stairs. Both: Who the heck is she? Me: **looks at them like their crazy** You don't who she is? They shake their heads. I on the other hand, continue to run and jump and scream. Sirius pops in. Sirius: Your welcome! I run over and start making out with Sirius. YAY!
