Chapter 2
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily felt awful as she headed up to Gryffendor tower. She felt like the rudest person ever; what she had done to James was just plain mean. Okay, maybe she did have a reason to suspect that James had put the spell on Snape, but she should have listened to him before screaming at the top of her lungs.
When she climbed through the portrait hole and entered into the Common Room, she quickly glanced around for him. He had to be here somewhere. "Lily! Over here!" said Janelle, who was sitting on the couch talking with some other people. Lily chose to pretend like she didn't he her.
She found James sitting in the corner alone, reading a book. Reading a book? What was going on with him. James looked brokenhearted sitting in the corner. He wasn't even the center of attention for once. This was definitely strange.
"James," Lily said, in a gentle voice. James looked up at her, closed his eyes, and heaved a heavy sigh. "Look, James, I-," began Lily. "Lily," said James talking over her, "if you've come to yell at me some more than I really don't want to hear it. I know you think I'm a horrible jerk and all that but if you had just listened you would have known that I-," but it was Lily's turn to interrupt him.
"James look I'm so-," she said, but again James cut her off. "NO, LILY, NO I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! I'M SORRY, I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN A JERK, BUT I'M TRYING TO CHANGE! ALL YOU HAVE DONE HAS BEEN CRUEL AND RUDE TO ME LILY! YOU WON'T EVEN LISTEN TO ME! NOW I'LL DO YOU A FAVOR AND GO UPSTAIRS SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE A FUN TIME COMPLAINING TO EVERYONE ELSE ABOUT WHAT AN 'EGOTISTICAL JERK' I AM! OKAY?" James shouted.
James started heading upstairs. "JAMES POTTER IF YOU WOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN I WASN'T GOING TO YELL AT YOU! I WAS GOING TO APOLOGIZE!" screamed Lily, who was now fuming. Several eyes were watching the pair of them.
"OH, SO TELL ME THEN LILY, HOW DOES IT FEEL NOT BEING LISTENED TO WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO TALK TO SOMEONE?! IT HURTS, DOESN'T IT?!?!" screamed James. Then he whipped out of sight, disappearing into the boys dormitory.
"UGH JAMES POTTER I HATE YOU!" Lily shouted, heading up to the girls' dormitory, unaware that several people were goggling at her. When she reached the 7th year girls' dormitory, she slammed the door and collapsed on her bed. For some reason, she did not know why, she burst into tears.
She just guessed that she hadn't had a good cry in a while, and she needed one. She cried because of what happened between her and James. She cried because of remembering all the fights she had had the past summer with Petunia. And she cried because she felt an emptiness inside herself. She couldn't tell what it was, but for the past several months she had felt like she was missing something, but she didn't know what.
Then, realizing she didn't want to have to deal with her friends when they came up to question her about what was going on, she found the key to the Heads' dormitory, grabbed a nightgown, and decided to spend the night in the private room she had. Originally, she planned to stay in the 7th year girls' dormitory with her friends, because it would get lonely having that Head Girl bedroom all to herself.
Tonight, however, she wanted some privacy. She headed down the stairs back into the Common Room (ignoring the several stares she was receiving) found the portrait of the witch in the garden, muttered the password, and went through the hole behind it.
She climbed up the stairs, and when she reached the top, she found what was like a smaller common room, with nice furniture and a kitchen. On the right side of the room was a door labeled 'Head Boy' and on the left, a door labeled 'Head Girl'. Lily was about to use her key to open the door to her room, when she heard footsteps coming up the stairs.
Crap. That could only be one person. James. Lily groaned. When James reached the top, he glanced around admiringly, and that jumped when he saw Lily glaring at him. Lily guessed he had wanted privacy from his friends like she had wanted from hers. Lily turned back to her door, not wanting him to see her tear-stained face and know that he was part of the cause for it.
James looked surprised upon seeing Lily's face, but to Lily's relief, he didn't make a comment. He walked straight to his door, opened it with the key, went inside, and slammed it shut. Lily did the same.
She was impressed at seeing how nice her room was. It was decorated in light pink, with a king-sized bed, nice furniture, and her own private bathroom. She threw her nightgown and key on the floor, jumped onto the bed, and began crying into her pillow. The empty feeling was beginning to drive her mad. She was extremely unhappy. It wasn't a physical sickness, she knew that. It was like something was missing in her soul.
Without getting under the covers, or changing into her nightgown, Lily cried herself to sleep. The next day she woke up with red, swollen eyes, and it was pretty obvious that she had cried half the night. She took a shower, and then washed her face with cold water to try to get rid of the redness. Unfortunately, her eyes were still slightly puffy.
Figuring that she couldn't do much for it, she changed into her uniform, put her books in her bag, and opened the door into the common room. On a table by the sofa was a note. Lily picked it up and read it.
Dumbledore wanted us to have a meeting together to discuss the
Hogsmede weekends. I listed some possible dates on the back of this
paper, but if they are not good enough for you, feel free to choose your
own dates. I could care less. Dumbledore also wants us to let the Prefects
plan a ball this year with our supervision, so I planned a meeting for
tonight at 8:30 in McGonagall's classroom.
James Potter
Lily was a little angry after reading this letter. Was James avoiding her and trying to show her that he didn't want to talk to her? Well, she kind of couldn't blame him. He probably didn't want to hear her yelling at him again, so he decided to leave her a note instead. She felt a pang of guilt in her stomach thinking about what she had said to him last night. But no, she wasn't going to act like she cared and go apologize to James, and ask him to forgive her. She was too angry with him (and she was also a little stubborn).
Why was she angry with him? Well, she didn't really know why. She didn't have a reason to be. He had yelled at her last night, but he didn't say anything offensive. Just that she shouldn't scream at him. But still, Lily was angry with him, and if he tried to talk to her, she would just ignore him. She was as stubborn as a mule.
At breakfast, she saw James sitting at a table with his friends. He looked pale, and lifeless. His eyes where dull, and did not have the familiar glint that they normally had. She felt a little sympathy, but her stubbornness took over, and she felt a sense of anger towards him. She walked right past him without looking at him, and sat down with Kioko and Janelle. Brenda was nowhere to be seen.
Lily reached over for the orange juice, just as Professor McGonagall headed over to their table. She handed Lily her schedule, and upon looking at it, Lily groaned. She had Potions first, and Lily didn't like potions very much. Actually, Lily hated Potions.
Professor Algona, the Potions Master, had to be the worst teacher in the school. He was mean, strict, and very boring. When Lily was halfway through her porridge, Brenda came rushing into the Great Hall. It was a rather funny sight.
Her hair was a mess, her shoes were on the wrong feet, and it looked like she got dressed in the dark. Her sweater was on backwards and her tie was around her waist, as though she had thought it was a belt.
When she sat down she informed the others that she had slept in. "You know one of you could have woken me up," she told them sounding a bit annoyed. "Hey I couldn't have woken you up. I slept in the Heads' dormitory last night," Lily said defending herself.
"Why was that anyway?" asked Kioko jumping on the subject. Lily looked down and her plate. "Dunno," she said, "I just felt like having my own room for a change." Janelle stared at her. "Sure ya did."
"I bet you wanted to be near James," said Brenda in a sing-song voice. "No I didn't!" Lily said getting very red, "I just wanted to get away from you three since I knew you would be in my face bugging me about it!"
"Whoa, Lily relax. We were only kidding," said Kioko. "Well I didn't find it funny," said Lily rudely. Why was she acting so strange today? For some reason, she felt extremely angry, but it couldn't have been because of James. Could it?
Lily breathed deeply, and addressing her three shocked friends, she said, "Look I'm sorry. I'm just having a bad day, okay. But please, quit tormenting me about James, okay?" Janelle had a surprised look on her face.
"What?" Lily asked her. "Nothing," said Janelle, "it's just that, well, you called him James, instead of Potter. You never do that." Lily stared. "Oh well, no big deal. I've got to get to potions now, bye!" she said quickly, grabbing her bag and running out of the Great Hall.
As soon as she was out of earshot, the others stared at each other. "What is up with Lily?" Brenda asked curiously. "Dunno," said Janelle, "but I think it has something to do with James."
***********************************************************************
In Potions, when Lily thought that her day could not get any worse, it did. Professor Algona informed the class that for the next two months, they were going to be working on a rather difficult potion, the Energizing Draft, and therefore, the class would be put into partners.
Lily sighed. If she was going to end up having to work with James, she would die. It seemed like she had been waiting a lifetime before the professor addressed her. Her worst fear then came true. "Evans, you will be working with," he paused, looked down at his paper, and smirked, "Potter."
James nodded, and as Lily watched him, he wrote something down on a piece of parchment, and threw it at Sirius. She groaned to herself. How on earth was she going to work with James Potter? What did she do to deserve this? Then he realized how much she was going to have to work with him this year, them being the Heads of the School, leading all the meetings, planning things, and then, there was going to be this stupid project that Professor Algona gave them.
The worst part was, they had to complete this project outside of class, so Lily would have to see James during her free time. That was just bad. Potions class seemed to go on forever, and every minute seemed like an hour. Finally to Lily's great relief, the bell rang, and Lily headed to Transfiguration with Kioko and Brenda. Janelle had Arithmancy.
Transfiguration went by quickly, and afterwards, Kioko, Brenda, and Lily met up with Janelle in the Great Hall. As Lily was reaching for the steak and kidney pie, James came running up to her. "Hey Lily! I just wanted to remind you that we have a meeting tonight in the Transfiguration classroom," he said.
Lily rolled her eyes. "I know Potter. I'm not going to forget," she said sounding annoyed. James sighed, and nodding at them, he said, "Okay. Er – I'll see you then." He walked off with his head hanging low.
"What?!" Lily said to her friends when she looked up to find that they were all staring at her. "Lily why are you being so mean to James?" Brenda asked. "Because I hate him," said Lily as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Well if you haven't noticed like I have Lils, he has kinda changed," said Kioko. Lily just shrugged her shoulders and remained quiet the rest of the lunch period.
As soon as the bell rang, she dashed off without waiting for her friends, and headed to her afternoon classes. She didn't feel like hanging out with them at the moment. When classes were over, Lily skipped dinner and spent the evening in the library doing her homework. At 8:25, she gathered her books into her bag, left the library, and headed to the Transfiguration classroom for the meeting with James and the Prefects.
She blushed when she opened the door upon realizing that they had all been waiting just for her. "Okay, now let's get started," said James as soon as Lily took a seat. He began talking about the Hogsmede weekend dates. Lily started to zone out thinking about other things. She wasn't really listening to what James was saying, she was just watching him.
She couldn't help but notice that James had really blue eyes. Really pretty blue eyes.
"Is that okay with you Lily?" James asked. "Huh?" Lily said, breaking out of her trance. James mouth twitched, as though he was about to smile. "The Hogsmede weekends, do you agree with them?" he said.
"Oh yeah, yeah sure," Lily said, having no idea what he was talking about. He grinned at her, and then said, "Alright well, I guess that's the last thing we had to talk about. You guys can go now," James announced, addressing all the prefects.
Lily looked up at the clock. It read 9 o'clock. Had she really been day dreaming during the whole meeting?! She must have made such a bad impression by not even saying anything! But wait, if she didn't say anything, that must have meant James led the whole meeting by himself without goofing off. James Potter being responsible? That was just plain weird.
James started walking over to her. She snapped out of her thoughts and mustered up a dirty look to give him. "Hey Lily!" said James greeting her happily. "Potter," she said nodding curtly. Why couldn't she stop herself from being so rude to him? "Listen, I just want to say I'm sorry for fighting with you like that last night. I should have listened. I'm sorry for losing my temper," James said, sounding sincere.
Lily gave an incredulous laugh. "Whatever Potter. About the project we have to do, let's just get it over with? I'll meet you in the library on.....um.....Friday night after dinner alright?" she said. James sighed, looking disappointed, and nodded his head. Lily wanted to apologize for being so rude, but for some reason, she couldn't do it. She quickly picked up her bag, and left James standing there, once again, trying to figure out what he did that made Lily hate him so much.

I tried to make them seem not so perfect in this chapter, so tell me what you think!! Thanks very much!!
