Living Through Memories

Chapter 3

After something that barely compensated as dinner, Harry who had been quiet all day, trudged back up the stairs and took out his pensieve again.

Thoughts clouded his head. He remembered seeing that memory in Snape's pensieve and he had never understood how his parents came to be together. Lupin and Sirius had explained but..

His parents had hated each other. It was obvious. Or if they didn't, then they really really didn't like each other. Something like that.

The pensieve swirled again. Harry checked that the door was closed and went in again, into his mother's memory.

***

"Do you know what he said???" Lily Evans shot at her friends (Laurel, Vanessa and Freya) during lunch (and after making sure no-one was around).

Three heads shook in harmony.

"He said, 'I will if you go out with me'!" she stated. (A/N this isn't referring to Snape's Worst Memory-this is set in the seventh year)

Three heads immediately looked up.

"He asked you out?" Vanessa gasped.

"No, he did not. He demanded a date more like it." Lily scowled.

"Oh my god. James Potter asked you out!" Laurel squealed.

"That's not the point! He is such a conceited, stuck-up...prick!" Lily snarled, rather put off by the 'he-asked-you-out's.

"But he's like the hottest guy here!" Freya reminded her.

"And that means that he can do anything he wants?" Lily asked.

"Well..yeah!" the three chorused.

She rolled her eyes.

She had never really liked James Potter..(well, duh)

"stupid conceited self-centered prick" she muttered to herself.

"Lily's talking to herself" Freya whispered.

Laurel nodded. "I know. I think she likes him."

The three burst into giggles and Lily looked up. "What?"

"Nothing"

"stupid conceited self-centered prick" She said it louder this time.

Vanessa patted her on the head. "Don't get so worked up over him."

More giggling.

Lily rolled her eyes again.

***

"Hey James."

"What?" James asked Sirius.

"It's your girlfriend."

He looked over towards the Gryfinndor table and saw Lily and her little group.

"And?" His tone was wiped of all emotion.

"Go say something to her."

"Like?"

"Head stuff?"

"Like that'll work!"

"How will you know unless you talk to her?"

"Oh, hey Lily. Let's talk about our duties as Head Boy and Girl because I know you take it seriously and I've decided I will to!?!" James suggested in a very sarcastic tone.

***

"Lily.."

"Yeah?"

"Look who's here!"

She looked.

"And?"

"Talk to him!"

"About?"

"I don't know.."

"Yeah, sure." Lily rolled her eyes. "Hey James, I'm just here to talk to you about nothing in particular cause my mad friend suggested I should!"

"That could work.."

"Shuttup."

***

"Can we join you?" Sirius asked just as Vanessa waved a hand, inviting them to join.

"Great"

An uncomfortable silence settled once everyone had sat down.

"So?" Remus asked conversationally.

"So what?" Freya prompted helpfully.

"How's Head Girl going for you?" Peter asked, the first (and probably last) time he had ever spoken out of turn.

Lily, fitting into her element, was happy to respond.

"Great! We're arranging a dance for the end of this term (a/n I'm assuming that they have ten weeks in a term so they're somewhere in the eighth week, first term) so that'll-"

"What dance?" James cut in.

"The one we organised at the last meeting" Lily said coldly.

"What meeting?"

"The one you missed"

"When was it?" James asked trying to remember.

"Last Thursday."

"But I had Quidditch practice that day.and I can't even remember that there was a meeting.."

"Figures." Lily murmured under her breath and James glared suspiciously at her.

"Well, what happened?"

"We organised a dance!"

"Oh."

"Took you a while." she snapped, her voice icy.

"Well, why didn't you tell me that I'd missed a meeting?" he exclaimed. "It's been, what.five days!"

"Because you didn't ask!"

"I can't ask about something that I didn't know about!"

"Well, you should have known!"

"But I didn't!"

"But you should have!"

-"You guys?" Freya (always the intervener) said.

"WHAT?" Both asked together.

"This is really pointless"

"I agree!" Remus chimed in.

"Tell us more about the dance!" Vanessa encouraged.

Lily stopped glaring at James and turned towards her friend..

***

The memory ended there. Harry, who didn't really care for the details of a dance, again felt himself wondering about his parents.
