WARNING: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG CHAPTER! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~PART ONE~ ~FIGHTS~
It was six AM, and for once, the Devils were up early. They were seated on the bathroom floor with hair dye, face paint, and permanent markers in the middle. of them.
"Who wants to go first?" Jenna asked eagerly.
"I'll go!" Ara said snatching the red hair dye. She took some in her hand and rubbed it in, covering half her hair. She put that down and took the yellow dye, and did the same.
"How do I look?" She laughed.
"Very Gryfindorish." Lily said sticking a thumb up.
"Your turn!" Ara said happily and she passed Jenna the dye. She did the same, and then Lily whent.
"Godric Gryif would be so proud!" Lily sniffed.
"Now lets paint our faces!" Ara clapped.
"YIPEE!" Jen said hopping up and down. (A/N: They were sugar high. Kind of like me except im sugar high every 24/7. But my friends claim im getting high on air...)
"Right, I call it first!" Lily snatched up the paint and stuck her tounge out.
"But Lils, you ALWAYS get to do things first!" Ara pouted.
"Hey, I went LAST putting the dye on!"
"Work with me Lils!"
Lily laughed and took some red paint. She made some war paint under her eyes with red and gold. Then she made little whiskers and wrote Gryfindor on her forehead.
"You think we're over doing this?" Lily asked looking at herself in the mirror.
"Nah." They all said in unison.
Jen, who was exrtremily hiper, covered half her face in red, and the other half in gold.
Ara also had Gryfindor written on her forhead and then had large red and gold dots all over her face.
Then, they charmed their robes red and gold. Then on the back they wrote "Gryf kicks butt!"
They looked quite..colorfull to make it simple.
"If we hurry up we can be early to Breakfast for once!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Great Hall was a see of colors. It seemed like everybody was participating, and everybody had thought up something. Jordan Lovegood wore a huge hat, while all the Quiditch Players wore their robes. Some people, like the Devils, painted their faces. The teachers were also wearing their former houses' colors. Dumbledore was wearing a twinkling robe of red and gold. Proffessor McGonagald was wearing...Quidtich Robes?
"Lily, earth to Lily!" Jenna said waving her hand in front of her.
"Sorry!" Lily appologized.
"We're going down to the Quiditch Pitch now! Hurry up!"
"WAIT! EVERYBODY STOP!" Sirius voice boomed throughout the hall. Everybody did stop and turned to look at him, who was standing on the table.
"I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT..." He took out a little piece of paper. "I'M A PRICK AND I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE HEARTS I'VE BROKEN AND THAT I'LL NEVER USE ANOTHER GIRL EVER AGAIN, AND I WOULD LIKE TO READ A LIST OF THE GIRLS I WANT TO APOLOGISE TO. ALLY, EMMA, JOHANA, MARIA, CARIE, LESLIE, JASMIE, BROOKE, KATIE P, TORI, MEGHAN, SARAH, MELODY, JANNET, KIRA, KARA, CARA, CHARLOTTE, FRAN, MARITZA, WILIMINA, BRITNEY, MORGAN, AMANDA, STEPHANIE, JOHAN, BRENNA, PASSION, AMBER, MARGRET, DACIA, DAISY, DANIKA, FAITH, FAY, FIONA, SABRINA, RACHEL, RUTHY, AND FOR A COMPLEATE LIST COME TO ME." As he bowed, a mix of laughs and claps emerged from his crowd. Then everybody continued to the pitch.
The seven friends got up and walked out onto the field with the rest of the school. Proffessor McGonagald was walking in front of them.
"Prof McGoni?" Lily asked tapping McGonagald on the back.
She tried to hide a smile as she asked, "Yes, Miss. Lily?"
"Well, I was wondering, since you were wearing Quiditch Robes, if you were in the Gryfindor Quiditch team when you were in school?"
McGonagald smiled. "Yes, actually I was. The only one in the whole school, and possibly one of the first."
"YOU were a Quiditch player?" James repeated with wide eyes. Again the Proffessor nodded.
"You know, I think I'll try out for the team." Lily said more to herself than anybody else really. By now they were on the field, but not yet at the stands.
"You're a girl!" James gasped.
"You've JUST noticed?" Lily asked sarcasticly.
"No, thats not what I mean. I mean girls arent aloud to play Quiditch!"
Lily stopped in her tracks.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"I said girls cant play Quiditch. Boys are just better at it. Its not right!"
"ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT GIRLS CAN TOO PLAY QUIDITCH, YOU ASSHOLE!"
"WHAT? NAME ONE GIRL THAT CAN PLAY!"
"ARA AND I CAN PLAY EXTREAMILY WELL!"
"WE CANT HAVE PEOPLE PLAY WHO SCREAM IF THE BREAK A NAIL!"
" I DO NOT SCREAM IF I BREAK A NAIL!"
"STILL, QUIDITCH IS A BOYS SPORT! YOU CANT PLAY!"
"YES I CAN! AGAIN, YOU ARE SO SEXIST!"
"I AM NOT TAKE THAT BACK!"
"BUT ITS TRUE!"
"IS NOT!"
"YES IT IS! I'M GOING TO TRY OUT FOR THE QUIDITCH TEAM AND MAKE THE TEAM!"
"BUT GIRLS CANT PLAY!"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
SLAP!
"That is quite enough Lily, James." Proffessor McGonagald said breaking the two apart. They were the only ones that werent seated yet, and almost everybody was watching them fight.
"Fine." They both said and walked opposite directions. James to the pitch and Lily to the stands.
"LADIES AND GENTELMAN, TODAY, HOUSE COLOR DAY, IS ALSO THE BIG SLYTHERIN VS. GRYFINDOR GAME!!!" Remus, the announcer, announced.
The crowed cheared.
"ON THE GRYFINDOR TEAM WE HAVE POTTER, BLACK, LEE, WEASLEY, WOOD, ANDREWS, and TIMONTHS!" The crowd cheared as these seven players flew into the field.
"ON THE IDI- I MEAN SLYTHERINS TEAM WE HAVE MALFOY, KRISLER, SERVUS, CRAYBE, GOYLE, BLACK, AND LEVANS!" A few chears and hisses from the Gryfindors.
The Gryfindor team had been practicing endlessly, hours every week. Their team was pretty well built, and were all compleatly serious Quiditch fans.
James was Seeker (a/n: i know somewhere it says that james is chaser, but i will be compleatly ignorant to that fact) and was circling high above the stadium watching for the snitch. Sirius was chaser and was a damn good one, too.
"ANDREWS DROPS THE QUAFFLE! BLACK, WAIT, THERE ARE TWO BLACKS! WELL, THE SLYTHERIN BLACK GRABS THE QUAFFLE! DANG IT SIRIUS GO GET 'EM!" Remus annouinced intently.
"REGULUS, KRISLER, ANDREWS, LEE! WOOHOO! GO LEE! LEE SCORES! GO LEE! RIGHT, 10-0 GRYFINDOR. HAHAH BOOYA! BLACK#1, LEE, WEASLEY, LEE, BLACK#1 SHOOTS! HE SCORES!"
Sirius was did a few loopy loops for celebration. James was watching intently , trying to catch a glimpse of the gold. Malfoy was the Slutherin's seeker. He was good, but not as good as James.
"SLYTHERIN SCORES! DANG IT PRONGS- I MEAN JAMES CATCH THE DANG IT SNITCH!"" Lots of hisses from the Gryfindors, including James.
Meanwhile, Wood and Andrews were fiercly flinging the Bludgers at random opponents, who managed to avoid them all..so far.
James turned his head to look at Malfoy and noticed he was copying his everymove. James grew a smile. He started to dive stragiht down into the ground. Malfoy copied him and they were btoh neck to neck.
"Malfoy?" James asked sweetly, and Malfoy turned his head.
"WHAT NOW?"
"Watch out!" He laughed as he sharply shot straight up. Malfoy, being the slow git he was, slammed into to the ground, rolling off his broom and landing face down on the dirt. Reluctantly, he got himself on the broom and tried to catch up with James. Good luck.
"JAMSIE LEADs MALFIEPOO INTO A FAKE DIVE!" Teased Remus, laughing
"SCORE FOR GRYFINDOR! ITS A TIE SO FAR!"
James sighed. They didnt have the best keeper ever. He was still intently looking ofr the snitch.
"SIRIUS, LEE, WEASLEY! WOBLY THROW FROM LEE THERE, WEASLEY ALMOST DROPS IT! LEE, SIRIUS! SIRIUS YOU DROPPED IT! YOU FOOL!"
"ANDREWS, KRISLER, REGULUS, KRISLER, REGULUS DODGES FROM THAT BLUDGER! NICE ONE WOOD! HA HA HE DROPPED THE BALL! COME ON SIRIUS GET IT GET IT! YEEEEY!" At this point Remus does a little dance and earned a few werid looks.
"RIGHT! SIRIUS, WEASLEY, WEASLEY SCORES! HA HA! TAKE THAT! ITS 20-10 GRYFINDOR! WE ARE SOOO BEATING YOU!"
The game continued on with no major events, and it was a pretty tight game. James had pulled a few more fake dives, but that was about it. It was 90-80 Slytherin, and James still had no clue were the snitch was.
Down in the Bleachers, Lily, Ara, Jen, and Peter were watching intently.
"James beter catch that Snitch, its a close game!" Peter said.
"Yeah."
Lily scanned the field, and almost instantly her eyes caught a gleaming gold object.
"JAMES!!" She screamed as loud as she possibly could. Surprised, he looked for her in the bleachers, and found her.
She pointed her finger to the right side of the field, and James' gaze traveled overe there. At first he saw nothing, then he saw it, the snitch. Pulling into a dive, he raced to catch it. Malfoy was closer, but he hadnt seen where the snitch was yey.
"HAS JAMES SEEN THE SNITCH? HAS HE? HAS HE HAS HE HAS HE? WE WONT FIGURE OUT FOR ANOTHER FEW SECONDS! OH THE SUSPENCE! YES! OH I SEE IT TOO! THE SNITCH, CLOSER, CLOSER! MALFOY AND POTTER, HEAD TO HEAD, NECK TO NECK, BUTT TO BUTT! OH EWW THAT SOUNDS WRONG. WELL ANYWAYS THEY ARE BOTH CLOSE! MALFOY GAINS SPEED! HURRY UP JAMES!!!!"
Malfoy had decided that he wouldnt be able to catch th snitch, he could barley even see it. But he wasnt going to let James get it. He sped up, now he was going extremaily fast. All of a sudden, he dived infront of James, knocking James off his broom and into the air, seven feet off the ground. Tumbling in the air, something hit James hard on the stomache. On instinct, he clutched it, and fell to the ground. It wasnt as painfull as he thought it would be, but it still hurt. He was flat on the ground , face facing upward.
THen he realized he was still clutching the bludger in his hand. Wait, it was pretty small for a bludger. and it was gold. who'd ever seen a gold bludger? not him. It looked more like...the snitch!!!!! He jumped into the air, ignoring his week knees. He skipped around in circles holding it up high.
"HE CAUGHT THE SNITCH! WE WIN! GO US! GO US! GO US! THE SCORE IS....AH WHO CARES? WE WIN!" Remus announced doing the same little dance that James was doing. The school (excluding the Slytherins) cheared. They ran into the field, celebrating.
"We won!" Jen was cheering.
Along with the Marauders, the Devils walked up to the castle with the rest of the crowed. Of coarse, there were lots of interuptions from "fangirls" who gave Sirius an James many congratulation kisses, which made Lily laugh.
"Awww...is Jamie blushing?" Lily teased.
"Would any of you like to give me a kiss?" James asked the girls.
"I would!" Mocked Lily.
"Really?"
"No." They all laughed at this.
"This calls for celebration, no?" Jen dubbed.
"'Course it does!" Ara said dragging Jen and Lily by the arms into the kitchen.
"Would you like some muffins?" A plump looking houselve asked once they were inside. (A/N: GO TO muffinfilms.com, its hilariouse!)
"Thank you!" Lily smiled taking the pan. They collected cookies, cake, chocolate, more chocolate, more cookies, ice cream, jelly beans, and a lot more.
"You think this is enough?" Lily asked, carying about five trays in her arms.
"It better be!" Jen replied, she had just as much as Lily.
"Lets hurry up, you cant have a party without food!" Ara said making her way slowly to the door.
It took about thirty minutes to get up, because it was extremaily hard to walk with five trays stacked on top of eachother. You would think, wouldnt you?
"FOOD!" Sirius screamed and ran towards the girls as soon aas the protrait hole opened.
"Yeah, food! Now, take that over ther Siri and place it on the tables. Carefull now, right, good!" Lily said slowly, as if she was talking to a small kid.
"Gees, Lily, you sound like you're talking to your little brother! You dont have a little brother do you? Living with you probably made him insane, and he ran away." James teased walking up to her. Lily would have dropped her trays of food, but she wasnt carying any.
James look startled. A flash of anger came and went. "Right." She nodded and walked away. James shot a 'Why-the-heck-did-she-just-do-that-waht-did-i- say-do-i-smell?' look to Jen and Ara. Who were looking nervouse.
"Wrong thing to say, pal." Ara came around putting her arm over his shoulder.
"Why?"
"Curious little one aren't we now? Well, its not my place to tell."
"Come on! We're friends!"
"Yes, but Lily's my friend too. Anyways, its full moon soon, isnt it?" Ara asked, looking at Remus' face.
"Just about. The poor guy has to take a lot of pain."
"I hate seeing my friends go through that." Ara sighed. She smiled and waved goodbye and joined Lily on the couch.
(A/N: My friend, sammy, is helping me write right now, and she wants to describe you the clothes.)
James waved back and scanned the room. "No Katie to snog with. Oh well. Food...well i dont want to interupt Sirius' moment with the cake. Remus...oh he seems a little happy with Jen. Ara and Lily. Lily." He though to himself and sighed. She had taken off her school robes and face-paint off now. Her pants were a little loose, but not baggy. They were black and flared at the bottom, which hung over her bare feet. The outline of the pants was a deep red, with lots of pockets. She had a black strap tanktop on, with rhinstones down the strap. Then there was one diagnol red silk stripe accross the black shirt.
(A/N: K, this is sammy, Jade's friend. ^__^ Just because I like people to see what they are wearing, da shirt can be found here: Jade is killing me now because i talk to much and am putting to much importance in a shirt. ignore the model.)
James sighed. Her red hair was so...red. And it flowed so easily at her shoulders. Her white complection was just dazzeling. Ah, he could hear her calling his name now, "James! James...!" Then he realized, she was!
"Uh what?"
"Do you need anything?" James didnt realize he had sat down on the arm of the chair, and was next to Lily.
"Oh, I was having a staring contest with myself." James joked quickly.
"Did you win?" Ara laughed.
"No." He said sadly.
"Aww, im sure you will next time." Lily said patting him on the back.
"Thank you Lilikins." James said returning the pat.
"Dont call me that!" Lily pushed James off the sofa and onto the floor.
"Getting a little rough now arent we Lily?" James got up and this time sat next to her on the sofa.
"Getting a little annoying now arent we James?"
"I am not annoying!"
"And Im not tickilish." Lily rolled her eyes.
"Are you?"
"Yes." Ara butted in.
Seeing James' mysterious grin, Lily got up and ran to her dorm as fast as she possibly could. She was extreamily ticklish. If you ran a finger down her arm she would have fits of laughter. Slamming the door behind her, and magicly lockign it, she realized the Dizzy's were in the room already.
"He gave me a ring! He gave me a ring!" Kaite was twirling around holding a little piece of jewelry in her hands.
"James gave you a ring?" Lily chinned in.
"Um...yeah, sure. James gave me a ring." She nodded.
"Anyways, i have to go meet him now, he said by the pitch. I'm five minutes late!" Katie ran out the door quickly, that is after adding some lipstick to her already-smeared-in-bloody-red-lipstick-lips.
After Katie left, she looked through the window. James wasnt outside, and he hadnt mentioned anything to her about meeting Katie. Well, since he was out with Katie that would mean it was safe to go back to the party. Lily walked over to the door and opened it. Instantly, somebody grabbed her from behind, put both their arms around her stomache, and began to tickle her like there was no tomorrow.
"James-stop-it!" Lily said between laughs.
"Why?" He challenged.
"Because-because- Katie-is-waiting-for-you!"
"Katie?" He said and stopped tickling her, but forgot to let her go.
'Wow, it feels so...right when he has his arms around me. Whoa. Girly thought there. Stop it Lily. Stop stop stop!' Lily thought to herself.
"Yeah, Katie ran away to meet you by the Quiditch Pitch, that is, after she showed off the ring you gave to her. Why'd you buy something so expensive for somebody you dont like?"
"Huh? What ring? I never gave her a ring! And i never asked her to meet me at the Quiditch Pitch! God, shes probably waiting for me in the cold! Come on! Quick!" With that he laced her hand with his and ran out the dorm, down the stairs, and out the portrait hole.
"He's not supposed to be holding my hand like this, hes only supposed to lace hands with Katie.. ." Lily shrugged it off.
Without any conversation, Lily and James made their way to the Entrance Door.
"Can you wait here Lils?" James asked and she nodded. The pitch wasnt to far away, so she would be able to see what happened.
James walked through the field onto the pitch. The pitch was huge, so he didn't know where exactly she would be. He started to circle the pitch, when he heard Katies giggle.
He ran behind one of the posts, and there was Katie. But, to James' surprised, she was with Amos. Kissing. Together.
"Oh Amos. I love you so much." Katie said stroking his hair.
Amos didnt answer, but instead kissed her.
James was shocked. How could Katie do this to him? Jen was right, she treats everybody like dirt.
"Uhem." James 'coughed'.
Katie whirled around and almost fainted when she saw James.
"Its nothing! You saw nothing!" She said walking towards him.
"Oh yes, its just an illisuion. Katie, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Katie looked like she could have cried. "Nothing! He made me!!" She whispered into his ear sedusivley.
"Right." James said sarcasticly, taking a step back. "I'll let you get back to your buisness now." He said and turned around to walk back. To his surprise, Lily was a few feet away from him, marching angrily at Amos.
"DIGGORY! YOU IDIOT JERK PLAYER SON OF A *bleep*!"
SLAP!
"YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON! YOU FREAK! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED NOT TO CHEAT ON PEOPLE AFTER THAT BLACK EYE I GAVE YOU! THAT MAKES THREE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE CHEATED ON. AND IM SURE MANY MANY MORE THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT!" Lily whirled around to face Katie.
"KATIE! YOU ARE THE MOST UGLY, HORRIBLE, HEARTLESS, EVIL PERSON IN THIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD! YOU KNOW THAT DONT YOU? I BET YOU DONT EVEN LOVE DIGGORY! OR JAMES! ITS ALL TEAPARTY TO YOU ISNT IT? FIRST ILL HAVE A CUP OF JAMES, THEN A SPRINKLE IN A LITTLE DIGGORY!! WHO NEXT? SNAPE?" Katies face was both disgusted and surprised.
"Ha. You know whats funny Katie? Its that your cheating on Diggory who's cheating on on you. James, come on, you dont need this crap." Without letting the others respond she walked away, James beside her.
After an aquard silence, James finally said, "You didnt need to do that Lils. But thanks."
Lily smiled. "Thats what friends are for."
"I still cant belive she did that to me." He shook his head.
"So you really did like her?"
"A little. I mean i got used to her. I trusted her. Sure she wasnt as smart or as nice as you, but she was a little something." Lily laughed on the inside how he compared Katie to her.
"Lets go eat something. Sirius didnt leave us much." Lily laughed and James agreed.
~PART TWO~ ~FEELINGS~
"So Lils, what shall we talk about?" James asked in a business tone manner.
"I dont know. Is there anything that is going through your head?" Keeping up the serious manner.
"Many, many things." It was true. So many thoughts, questions, memories, and feelings were rushing through his head.
"For starters, why do you still wear the necklace I gave you?"
Lily shrugged. "Your my friend. As a momento. Many reasons."
"I see. Another question. Why were you mad at me when I teased you about having a brother?" This thought had been running through James' mind for a while now.
Lily took a deep breath. She knew this would come up.
"Just promise not to tell anybody. Ara, Jen, Sirius, and Remus already know."
" When I was three, I thought my life was perfect. I had a mom, a dad, a sister, a brother, a house, everything. But my life wasnt perfect, it was just my imagination. I didnt know that my mom had cancer, and that every month she was rushed to the hospital. It took my by surprise when they told me she died. I cried so hard. We were so close, she was the most wonderfull person in the whole world."
"I grew up with only my dad, brother, Petunia, and I. My dad was in the Navy, so he was often gone, and my Aunt Melisa would come and take care of us. Sure, it wasnt the best days i had, sure I loved my aunt, but i missed my dad. My brother missed him, too, and wanted to be just like him. So we sent him to a camp by the ocean, and he loved it. Year after year he returned. He was older than me, and was usually gone all summer. It sort of felt like he was running away to me, but then again i was only six. Then, the day that he was supposed to go home, we recieved a phone call that he wasnt going to come home. Ever. They had been doing an activity by a rocky lake, and the boys made a game of jumping from rock to rock. When they were playing, Jake, my brother, slipped and fell onto the rocks, hit his head, and died instantly. I was mad. I dont know to who, but I was mad. He was that kind of big brother role model. Ever since then my dad was home all the time. Im sure he was mad at himself because he never said goodbye."
"This summer, my dad recieved a phone call to come back to the Navy to train soldiers. Not being in for almost five years, he decided to go. Then we recieved a phone call that he was shot and died at the hospital. He was shot by one of his own men accidentaly. My Aunt was on a trip, so we couldn't stay with her. I stayed with Ara and Petunia stayed with a friend of hers."
James was staring at her. "Wow, I'm sorry. That must be hard on you."
"Don't be sorry. Now lets talk about something a little happier, please?" She asked with a smile.
"How can you be so happy?" James asked ignoring her last request.
Lily sighed. "If I were to sulk about it, sit in my room and cry all day long, it would be so much worse. I would feel lonley and never laugh. I wouldn't have my friends to cheer me up. I either am happy or sad. I think its pretty obviouse which one I want. Now lets talk about something else...less deppressing."
"Oh. Ok. Kaite?"
"What about her?"
"Shes a jerk."
"Idiot."
"Snob."
"Priss."
"Cheater."
"Player."
"Jerk."
"Meanie."
"*bleep*"
"*bleep*"
"Snape lover."
"Malfoy snogger."
"Floor licker."
"Miss Norris hugger."
"Snot brain."
"Little Britney Spears." They both winced, this was the worst insult by far.
"Barbie doll."
"Potter hater." Lily said, and James glared.
"Evans hater."
"Diggory lover." Lily earned another glare.
"WHAT? I'm keepin' it real!"
They were both sitting on chairs next to eachother, trying to throw Jellybeans back into the box, unsuccessfully. They both turned to look at eachother in the eye, and found that they were much closer than they thought. They were inches away, and staring at eachother in the eye. On instinct (A/N: Hahaha...sure...instinct) James slowly moved his head forward.
'Ahh...what the hell is James doing? Oh God he's gonna kiss me!' Lily thought.
Quickly, Lily jerked up just as their lips met. "Can we take this to go?" She asked a passing houselve, who, inturn, looked at her as if she had twenty two and a half heads.
"I mean, where's the trash can." She smiled. The houselve squeaked and pointed to the trash can next to Lily.
"Ah, sorry, I missed that."
Akward silences.(A/N: Random thought #1: Damn dont you just love those? lol.)
(A/N: OK, I NEED TO WARN YOU AHEAD! OoTP SPOLIER AS THE LAST SENTENCE!)
"Wow, look at the time. I think we better go now." Haha. The lame excuse award goes to...LILY!
"Right." Silently, they packed up and left. The walk up was compleatly uneventfull. They were feeling too uncomfortable around eachother to say anthing. They said there goodnights. James entered his dorm. It was unusually empty. He sighed and ploped on his bed. Why had he almost kissed Lily? Why did she jerk away? He was drownded in thoughts until the dorm opened, and Sirius jumped in.
"I KNEW IT! YOU LIKER HER DONT YOU??"
"Who?" James asked pretending not to know. Remus and Peter bounced in looking equaly excited.
"YOU DO, YOU DO!" Peter repeated.
"I what?"
"YOU'RE MADLY IN LOVE WITH LILY!" Remus said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Nah-ah!"
"PRONGSIE, YOU KISSED HER!"
"Almost kissed her! I did not kiss her! Hey...how'd you know?"
"It's called an invisability cloak." Peter laughed.
"You..." James started threateningly.
"Just admit it!" Sirius bounced on his bed.
"Ok..so i might have a little tiny crush on Lils.." He said reluctantly. His friends raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, so I', MADLY IN LOVE WITH LILS! Same THING!" James spoke the truth. Then reality struck him hard.
"Oh my god. I'm in love with Lily Evans. But she's my friend, I shouldn't like her like this!!"
"Yup, things are goingto be a tad different around here."
"This could ruin our friendship!"
"It will."
"This could ruin YOUR guyses friendship!"
"No, just yours."
"SIRIUS YOU DUMBASS! YOUR SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT ME!"
"Fine! Be that way! When you are in trouble, I wont come help you! If your future son is in trouble, I wont help him! I just wont help you ever again!" Sirius and James rolled their eyes and went under the covers.
Remus snorted as he got under the covers as well. "Watch him die saving James' son."

WARNING: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG CHAPTER! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~PART ONE~ ~FIGHTS~
It was six AM, and for once, the Devils were up early. They were seated on the bathroom floor with hair dye, face paint, and permanent markers in the middle. of them.
"Who wants to go first?" Jenna asked eagerly.
"I'll go!" Ara said snatching the red hair dye. She took some in her hand and rubbed it in, covering half her hair. She put that down and took the yellow dye, and did the same.
"How do I look?" She laughed.
"Very Gryfindorish." Lily said sticking a thumb up.
"Your turn!" Ara said happily and she passed Jenna the dye. She did the same, and then Lily whent.
"Godric Gryif would be so proud!" Lily sniffed.
"Now lets paint our faces!" Ara clapped.
"YIPEE!" Jen said hopping up and down. (A/N: They were sugar high. Kind of like me except im sugar high every 24/7. But my friends claim im getting high on air...)
"Right, I call it first!" Lily snatched up the paint and stuck her tounge out.
"But Lils, you ALWAYS get to do things first!" Ara pouted.
"Hey, I went LAST putting the dye on!"
"Work with me Lils!"
Lily laughed and took some red paint. She made some war paint under her eyes with red and gold. Then she made little whiskers and wrote Gryfindor on her forehead.
"You think we're over doing this?" Lily asked looking at herself in the mirror.
"Nah." They all said in unison.
Jen, who was exrtremily hiper, covered half her face in red, and the other half in gold.
Ara also had Gryfindor written on her forhead and then had large red and gold dots all over her face.
Then, they charmed their robes red and gold. Then on the back they wrote "Gryf kicks butt!"
They looked quite..colorfull to make it simple.
"If we hurry up we can be early to Breakfast for once!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Great Hall was a see of colors. It seemed like everybody was participating, and everybody had thought up something. Jordan Lovegood wore a huge hat, while all the Quiditch Players wore their robes. Some people, like the Devils, painted their faces. The teachers were also wearing their former houses' colors. Dumbledore was wearing a twinkling robe of red and gold. Proffessor McGonagald was wearing...Quidtich Robes?
"Lily, earth to Lily!" Jenna said waving her hand in front of her.
"Sorry!" Lily appologized.
"We're going down to the Quiditch Pitch now! Hurry up!"
"WAIT! EVERYBODY STOP!" Sirius voice boomed throughout the hall. Everybody did stop and turned to look at him, who was standing on the table.
"I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT..." He took out a little piece of paper. "I'M A PRICK AND I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE HEARTS I'VE BROKEN AND THAT I'LL NEVER USE ANOTHER GIRL EVER AGAIN, AND I WOULD LIKE TO READ A LIST OF THE GIRLS I WANT TO APOLOGISE TO. ALLY, EMMA, JOHANA, MARIA, CARIE, LESLIE, JASMIE, BROOKE, KATIE P, TORI, MEGHAN, SARAH, MELODY, JANNET, KIRA, KARA, CARA, CHARLOTTE, FRAN, MARITZA, WILIMINA, BRITNEY, MORGAN, AMANDA, STEPHANIE, JOHAN, BRENNA, PASSION, AMBER, MARGRET, DACIA, DAISY, DANIKA, FAITH, FAY, FIONA, SABRINA, RACHEL, RUTHY, AND FOR A COMPLEATE LIST COME TO ME." As he bowed, a mix of laughs and claps emerged from his crowd. Then everybody continued to the pitch.
The seven friends got up and walked out onto the field with the rest of the school. Proffessor McGonagald was walking in front of them.
"Prof McGoni?" Lily asked tapping McGonagald on the back.
She tried to hide a smile as she asked, "Yes, Miss. Lily?"
"Well, I was wondering, since you were wearing Quiditch Robes, if you were in the Gryfindor Quiditch team when you were in school?"
McGonagald smiled. "Yes, actually I was. The only one in the whole school, and possibly one of the first."
"YOU were a Quiditch player?" James repeated with wide eyes. Again the Proffessor nodded.
"You know, I think I'll try out for the team." Lily said more to herself than anybody else really. By now they were on the field, but not yet at the stands.
"You're a girl!" James gasped.
"You've JUST noticed?" Lily asked sarcasticly.
"No, thats not what I mean. I mean girls arent aloud to play Quiditch!"
Lily stopped in her tracks.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"I said girls cant play Quiditch. Boys are just better at it. Its not right!"
"ILL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT GIRLS CAN TOO PLAY QUIDITCH, YOU ASSHOLE!"
"WHAT? NAME ONE GIRL THAT CAN PLAY!"
"ARA AND I CAN PLAY EXTREAMILY WELL!"
"WE CANT HAVE PEOPLE PLAY WHO SCREAM IF THE BREAK A NAIL!"
" I DO NOT SCREAM IF I BREAK A NAIL!"
"STILL, QUIDITCH IS A BOYS SPORT! YOU CANT PLAY!"
"YES I CAN! AGAIN, YOU ARE SO SEXIST!"
"I AM NOT TAKE THAT BACK!"
"BUT ITS TRUE!"
"IS NOT!"
"YES IT IS! I'M GOING TO TRY OUT FOR THE QUIDITCH TEAM AND MAKE THE TEAM!"
"BUT GIRLS CANT PLAY!"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
"NO, THEY CAN'T!'"
"YES THEY CAN!"
SLAP!
"That is quite enough Lily, James." Proffessor McGonagald said breaking the two apart. They were the only ones that werent seated yet, and almost everybody was watching them fight.
"Fine." They both said and walked opposite directions. James to the pitch and Lily to the stands.
"LADIES AND GENTELMAN, TODAY, HOUSE COLOR DAY, IS ALSO THE BIG SLYTHERIN VS. GRYFINDOR GAME!!!" Remus, the announcer, announced.
The crowed cheared.
"ON THE GRYFINDOR TEAM WE HAVE POTTER, BLACK, LEE, WEASLEY, WOOD, ANDREWS, and TIMONTHS!" The crowd cheared as these seven players flew into the field.
"ON THE IDI- I MEAN SLYTHERINS TEAM WE HAVE MALFOY, KRISLER, SERVUS, CRAYBE, GOYLE, BLACK, AND LEVANS!" A few chears and hisses from the Gryfindors.
The Gryfindor team had been practicing endlessly, hours every week. Their team was pretty well built, and were all compleatly serious Quiditch fans.
James was Seeker (a/n: i know somewhere it says that james is chaser, but i will be compleatly ignorant to that fact) and was circling high above the stadium watching for the snitch. Sirius was chaser and was a damn good one, too.
"ANDREWS DROPS THE QUAFFLE! BLACK, WAIT, THERE ARE TWO BLACKS! WELL, THE SLYTHERIN BLACK GRABS THE QUAFFLE! DANG IT SIRIUS GO GET 'EM!" Remus annouinced intently.
"REGULUS, KRISLER, ANDREWS, LEE! WOOHOO! GO LEE! LEE SCORES! GO LEE! RIGHT, 10-0 GRYFINDOR. HAHAH BOOYA! BLACK#1, LEE, WEASLEY, LEE, BLACK#1 SHOOTS! HE SCORES!"
Sirius was did a few loopy loops for celebration. James was watching intently , trying to catch a glimpse of the gold. Malfoy was the Slutherin's seeker. He was good, but not as good as James.
"SLYTHERIN SCORES! DANG IT PRONGS- I MEAN JAMES CATCH THE DANG IT SNITCH!"" Lots of hisses from the Gryfindors, including James.
Meanwhile, Wood and Andrews were fiercly flinging the Bludgers at random opponents, who managed to avoid them all..so far.
James turned his head to look at Malfoy and noticed he was copying his everymove. James grew a smile. He started to dive stragiht down into the ground. Malfoy copied him and they were btoh neck to neck.
"Malfoy?" James asked sweetly, and Malfoy turned his head.
"WHAT NOW?"
"Watch out!" He laughed as he sharply shot straight up. Malfoy, being the slow git he was, slammed into to the ground, rolling off his broom and landing face down on the dirt. Reluctantly, he got himself on the broom and tried to catch up with James. Good luck.
"JAMSIE LEADs MALFIEPOO INTO A FAKE DIVE!" Teased Remus, laughing
"SCORE FOR GRYFINDOR! ITS A TIE SO FAR!"
James sighed. They didnt have the best keeper ever. He was still intently looking ofr the snitch.
"SIRIUS, LEE, WEASLEY! WOBLY THROW FROM LEE THERE, WEASLEY ALMOST DROPS IT! LEE, SIRIUS! SIRIUS YOU DROPPED IT! YOU FOOL!"
"ANDREWS, KRISLER, REGULUS, KRISLER, REGULUS DODGES FROM THAT BLUDGER! NICE ONE WOOD! HA HA HE DROPPED THE BALL! COME ON SIRIUS GET IT GET IT! YEEEEY!" At this point Remus does a little dance and earned a few werid looks.
"RIGHT! SIRIUS, WEASLEY, WEASLEY SCORES! HA HA! TAKE THAT! ITS 20-10 GRYFINDOR! WE ARE SOOO BEATING YOU!"
The game continued on with no major events, and it was a pretty tight game. James had pulled a few more fake dives, but that was about it. It was 90-80 Slytherin, and James still had no clue were the snitch was.
Down in the Bleachers, Lily, Ara, Jen, and Peter were watching intently.
"James beter catch that Snitch, its a close game!" Peter said.
"Yeah."
Lily scanned the field, and almost instantly her eyes caught a gleaming gold object.
"JAMES!!" She screamed as loud as she possibly could. Surprised, he looked for her in the bleachers, and found her.
She pointed her finger to the right side of the field, and James' gaze traveled overe there. At first he saw nothing, then he saw it, the snitch. Pulling into a dive, he raced to catch it. Malfoy was closer, but he hadnt seen where the snitch was yey.
"HAS JAMES SEEN THE SNITCH? HAS HE? HAS HE HAS HE HAS HE? WE WONT FIGURE OUT FOR ANOTHER FEW SECONDS! OH THE SUSPENCE! YES! OH I SEE IT TOO! THE SNITCH, CLOSER, CLOSER! MALFOY AND POTTER, HEAD TO HEAD, NECK TO NECK, BUTT TO BUTT! OH EWW THAT SOUNDS WRONG. WELL ANYWAYS THEY ARE BOTH CLOSE! MALFOY GAINS SPEED! HURRY UP JAMES!!!!"
Malfoy had decided that he wouldnt be able to catch th snitch, he could barley even see it. But he wasnt going to let James get it. He sped up, now he was going extremaily fast. All of a sudden, he dived infront of James, knocking James off his broom and into the air, seven feet off the ground. Tumbling in the air, something hit James hard on the stomache. On instinct, he clutched it, and fell to the ground. It wasnt as painfull as he thought it would be, but it still hurt. He was flat on the ground , face facing upward.
THen he realized he was still clutching the bludger in his hand. Wait, it was pretty small for a bludger. and it was gold. who'd ever seen a gold bludger? not him. It looked more like...the snitch!!!!! He jumped into the air, ignoring his week knees. He skipped around in circles holding it up high.
"HE CAUGHT THE SNITCH! WE WIN! GO US! GO US! GO US! THE SCORE IS....AH WHO CARES? WE WIN!" Remus announced doing the same little dance that James was doing. The school (excluding the Slytherins) cheared. They ran into the field, celebrating.
"We won!" Jen was cheering.
Along with the Marauders, the Devils walked up to the castle with the rest of the crowed. Of coarse, there were lots of interuptions from "fangirls" who gave Sirius an James many congratulation kisses, which made Lily laugh.
"Awww...is Jamie blushing?" Lily teased.
"Would any of you like to give me a kiss?" James asked the girls.
"I would!" Mocked Lily.
"Really?"
"No." They all laughed at this.
"This calls for celebration, no?" Jen dubbed.
"'Course it does!" Ara said dragging Jen and Lily by the arms into the kitchen.
"Would you like some muffins?" A plump looking houselve asked once they were inside. (A/N: GO TO muffinfilms.com, its hilariouse!)
"Thank you!" Lily smiled taking the pan. They collected cookies, cake, chocolate, more chocolate, more cookies, ice cream, jelly beans, and a lot more.
"You think this is enough?" Lily asked, carying about five trays in her arms.
"It better be!" Jen replied, she had just as much as Lily.
"Lets hurry up, you cant have a party without food!" Ara said making her way slowly to the door.
It took about thirty minutes to get up, because it was extremaily hard to walk with five trays stacked on top of eachother. You would think, wouldnt you?
"FOOD!" Sirius screamed and ran towards the girls as soon aas the protrait hole opened.
"Yeah, food! Now, take that over ther Siri and place it on the tables. Carefull now, right, good!" Lily said slowly, as if she was talking to a small kid.
"Gees, Lily, you sound like you're talking to your little brother! You dont have a little brother do you? Living with you probably made him insane, and he ran away." James teased walking up to her. Lily would have dropped her trays of food, but she wasnt carying any.
James look startled. A flash of anger came and went. "Right." She nodded and walked away. James shot a 'Why-the-heck-did-she-just-do-that-waht-did-i- say-do-i-smell?' look to Jen and Ara. Who were looking nervouse.
"Wrong thing to say, pal." Ara came around putting her arm over his shoulder.
"Why?"
"Curious little one aren't we now? Well, its not my place to tell."
"Come on! We're friends!"
"Yes, but Lily's my friend too. Anyways, its full moon soon, isnt it?" Ara asked, looking at Remus' face.
"Just about. The poor guy has to take a lot of pain."
"I hate seeing my friends go through that." Ara sighed. She smiled and waved goodbye and joined Lily on the couch.
(A/N: My friend, sammy, is helping me write right now, and she wants to describe you the clothes.)
James waved back and scanned the room. "No Katie to snog with. Oh well. Food...well i dont want to interupt Sirius' moment with the cake. Remus...oh he seems a little happy with Jen. Ara and Lily. Lily." He though to himself and sighed. She had taken off her school robes and face-paint off now. Her pants were a little loose, but not baggy. They were black and flared at the bottom, which hung over her bare feet. The outline of the pants was a deep red, with lots of pockets. She had a black strap tanktop on, with rhinstones down the strap. Then there was one diagnol red silk stripe accross the black shirt.
(A/N: K, this is sammy, Jade's friend. ^__^ Just because I like people to see what they are wearing, da shirt can be found here: Jade is killing me now because i talk to much and am putting to much importance in a shirt. ignore the model.)
James sighed. Her red hair was so...red. And it flowed so easily at her shoulders. Her white complection was just dazzeling. Ah, he could hear her calling his name now, "James! James...!" Then he realized, she was!
"Uh what?"
"Do you need anything?" James didnt realize he had sat down on the arm of the chair, and was next to Lily.
"Oh, I was having a staring contest with myself." James joked quickly.
"Did you win?" Ara laughed.
"No." He said sadly.
"Aww, im sure you will next time." Lily said patting him on the back.
"Thank you Lilikins." James said returning the pat.
"Dont call me that!" Lily pushed James off the sofa and onto the floor.
"Getting a little rough now arent we Lily?" James got up and this time sat next to her on the sofa.
"Getting a little annoying now arent we James?"
"I am not annoying!"
"And Im not tickilish." Lily rolled her eyes.
"Are you?"
"Yes." Ara butted in.
Seeing James' mysterious grin, Lily got up and ran to her dorm as fast as she possibly could. She was extreamily ticklish. If you ran a finger down her arm she would have fits of laughter. Slamming the door behind her, and magicly lockign it, she realized the Dizzy's were in the room already.
"He gave me a ring! He gave me a ring!" Kaite was twirling around holding a little piece of jewelry in her hands.
"James gave you a ring?" Lily chinned in.
"Um...yeah, sure. James gave me a ring." She nodded.
"Anyways, i have to go meet him now, he said by the pitch. I'm five minutes late!" Katie ran out the door quickly, that is after adding some lipstick to her already-smeared-in-bloody-red-lipstick-lips.
After Katie left, she looked through the window. James wasnt outside, and he hadnt mentioned anything to her about meeting Katie. Well, since he was out with Katie that would mean it was safe to go back to the party. Lily walked over to the door and opened it. Instantly, somebody grabbed her from behind, put both their arms around her stomache, and began to tickle her like there was no tomorrow.
"James-stop-it!" Lily said between laughs.
"Why?" He challenged.
"Because-because- Katie-is-waiting-for-you!"
"Katie?" He said and stopped tickling her, but forgot to let her go.
'Wow, it feels so...right when he has his arms around me. Whoa. Girly thought there. Stop it Lily. Stop stop stop!' Lily thought to herself.
"Yeah, Katie ran away to meet you by the Quiditch Pitch, that is, after she showed off the ring you gave to her. Why'd you buy something so expensive for somebody you dont like?"
"Huh? What ring? I never gave her a ring! And i never asked her to meet me at the Quiditch Pitch! God, shes probably waiting for me in the cold! Come on! Quick!" With that he laced her hand with his and ran out the dorm, down the stairs, and out the portrait hole.
"He's not supposed to be holding my hand like this, hes only supposed to lace hands with Katie.. ." Lily shrugged it off.
Without any conversation, Lily and James made their way to the Entrance Door.
"Can you wait here Lils?" James asked and she nodded. The pitch wasnt to far away, so she would be able to see what happened.
James walked through the field onto the pitch. The pitch was huge, so he didn't know where exactly she would be. He started to circle the pitch, when he heard Katies giggle.
He ran behind one of the posts, and there was Katie. But, to James' surprised, she was with Amos. Kissing. Together.
"Oh Amos. I love you so much." Katie said stroking his hair.
Amos didnt answer, but instead kissed her.
James was shocked. How could Katie do this to him? Jen was right, she treats everybody like dirt.
"Uhem." James 'coughed'.
Katie whirled around and almost fainted when she saw James.
"Its nothing! You saw nothing!" She said walking towards him.
"Oh yes, its just an illisuion. Katie, what the hell is wrong with you?"
Katie looked like she could have cried. "Nothing! He made me!!" She whispered into his ear sedusivley.
"Right." James said sarcasticly, taking a step back. "I'll let you get back to your buisness now." He said and turned around to walk back. To his surprise, Lily was a few feet away from him, marching angrily at Amos.
"DIGGORY! YOU IDIOT JERK PLAYER SON OF A *bleep*!"
SLAP!
"YOU ARE A HORRIBLE PERSON! YOU FREAK! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED NOT TO CHEAT ON PEOPLE AFTER THAT BLACK EYE I GAVE YOU! THAT MAKES THREE PEOPLE THAT YOU'VE CHEATED ON. AND IM SURE MANY MANY MORE THAT I DONT KNOW ABOUT!" Lily whirled around to face Katie.
"KATIE! YOU ARE THE MOST UGLY, HORRIBLE, HEARTLESS, EVIL PERSON IN THIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD! YOU KNOW THAT DONT YOU? I BET YOU DONT EVEN LOVE DIGGORY! OR JAMES! ITS ALL TEAPARTY TO YOU ISNT IT? FIRST ILL HAVE A CUP OF JAMES, THEN A SPRINKLE IN A LITTLE DIGGORY!! WHO NEXT? SNAPE?" Katies face was both disgusted and surprised.
"Ha. You know whats funny Katie? Its that your cheating on Diggory who's cheating on on you. James, come on, you dont need this crap." Without letting the others respond she walked away, James beside her.
After an aquard silence, James finally said, "You didnt need to do that Lils. But thanks."
Lily smiled. "Thats what friends are for."
"I still cant belive she did that to me." He shook his head.
"So you really did like her?"
"A little. I mean i got used to her. I trusted her. Sure she wasnt as smart or as nice as you, but she was a little something." Lily laughed on the inside how he compared Katie to her.
"Lets go eat something. Sirius didnt leave us much." Lily laughed and James agreed.
~PART TWO~ ~FEELINGS~
"So Lils, what shall we talk about?" James asked in a business tone manner.
"I dont know. Is there anything that is going through your head?" Keeping up the serious manner.
"Many, many things." It was true. So many thoughts, questions, memories, and feelings were rushing through his head.
"For starters, why do you still wear the necklace I gave you?"
Lily shrugged. "Your my friend. As a momento. Many reasons."
"I see. Another question. Why were you mad at me when I teased you about having a brother?" This thought had been running through James' mind for a while now.
Lily took a deep breath. She knew this would come up.
"Just promise not to tell anybody. Ara, Jen, Sirius, and Remus already know."
" When I was three, I thought my life was perfect. I had a mom, a dad, a sister, a brother, a house, everything. But my life wasnt perfect, it was just my imagination. I didnt know that my mom had cancer, and that every month she was rushed to the hospital. It took my by surprise when they told me she died. I cried so hard. We were so close, she was the most wonderfull person in the whole world."
"I grew up with only my dad, brother, Petunia, and I. My dad was in the Navy, so he was often gone, and my Aunt Melisa would come and take care of us. Sure, it wasnt the best days i had, sure I loved my aunt, but i missed my dad. My brother missed him, too, and wanted to be just like him. So we sent him to a camp by the ocean, and he loved it. Year after year he returned. He was older than me, and was usually gone all summer. It sort of felt like he was running away to me, but then again i was only six. Then, the day that he was supposed to go home, we recieved a phone call that he wasnt going to come home. Ever. They had been doing an activity by a rocky lake, and the boys made a game of jumping from rock to rock. When they were playing, Jake, my brother, slipped and fell onto the rocks, hit his head, and died instantly. I was mad. I dont know to who, but I was mad. He was that kind of big brother role model. Ever since then my dad was home all the time. Im sure he was mad at himself because he never said goodbye."
"This summer, my dad recieved a phone call to come back to the Navy to train soldiers. Not being in for almost five years, he decided to go. Then we recieved a phone call that he was shot and died at the hospital. He was shot by one of his own men accidentaly. My Aunt was on a trip, so we couldn't stay with her. I stayed with Ara and Petunia stayed with a friend of hers."
James was staring at her. "Wow, I'm sorry. That must be hard on you."
"Don't be sorry. Now lets talk about something a little happier, please?" She asked with a smile.
"How can you be so happy?" James asked ignoring her last request.
Lily sighed. "If I were to sulk about it, sit in my room and cry all day long, it would be so much worse. I would feel lonley and never laugh. I wouldn't have my friends to cheer me up. I either am happy or sad. I think its pretty obviouse which one I want. Now lets talk about something else...less deppressing."
"Oh. Ok. Kaite?"
"What about her?"
"Shes a jerk."
"Idiot."
"Snob."
"Priss."
"Cheater."
"Player."
"Jerk."
"Meanie."
"*bleep*"
"*bleep*"
"Snape lover."
"Malfoy snogger."
"Floor licker."
"Miss Norris hugger."
"Snot brain."
"Little Britney Spears." They both winced, this was the worst insult by far.
"Barbie doll."
"Potter hater." Lily said, and James glared.
"Evans hater."
"Diggory lover." Lily earned another glare.
"WHAT? I'm keepin' it real!"
They were both sitting on chairs next to eachother, trying to throw Jellybeans back into the box, unsuccessfully. They both turned to look at eachother in the eye, and found that they were much closer than they thought. They were inches away, and staring at eachother in the eye. On instinct (A/N: Hahaha...sure...instinct) James slowly moved his head forward.
'Ahh...what the hell is James doing? Oh God he's gonna kiss me!' Lily thought.
Quickly, Lily jerked up just as their lips met. "Can we take this to go?" She asked a passing houselve, who, inturn, looked at her as if she had twenty two and a half heads.
"I mean, where's the trash can." She smiled. The houselve squeaked and pointed to the trash can next to Lily.
"Ah, sorry, I missed that."
Akward silences.(A/N: Random thought #1: Damn dont you just love those? lol.)
(A/N: OK, I NEED TO WARN YOU AHEAD! OoTP SPOLIER AS THE LAST SENTENCE!)
"Wow, look at the time. I think we better go now." Haha. The lame excuse award goes to...LILY!
"Right." Silently, they packed up and left. The walk up was compleatly uneventfull. They were feeling too uncomfortable around eachother to say anthing. They said there goodnights. James entered his dorm. It was unusually empty. He sighed and ploped on his bed. Why had he almost kissed Lily? Why did she jerk away? He was drownded in thoughts until the dorm opened, and Sirius jumped in.
"I KNEW IT! YOU LIKER HER DONT YOU??"
"Who?" James asked pretending not to know. Remus and Peter bounced in looking equaly excited.
"YOU DO, YOU DO!" Peter repeated.
"I what?"
"YOU'RE MADLY IN LOVE WITH LILY!" Remus said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Nah-ah!"
"PRONGSIE, YOU KISSED HER!"
"Almost kissed her! I did not kiss her! Hey...how'd you know?"
"It's called an invisability cloak." Peter laughed.
"You..." James started threateningly.
"Just admit it!" Sirius bounced on his bed.
"Ok..so i might have a little tiny crush on Lils.." He said reluctantly. His friends raised an eyebrow.
"Ok, so I', MADLY IN LOVE WITH LILS! Same THING!" James spoke the truth. Then reality struck him hard.
"Oh my god. I'm in love with Lily Evans. But she's my friend, I shouldn't like her like this!!"
"Yup, things are goingto be a tad different around here."
"This could ruin our friendship!"
"It will."
"This could ruin YOUR guyses friendship!"
"No, just yours."
"SIRIUS YOU DUMBASS! YOUR SUPPOSED TO SUPPORT ME!"
"Fine! Be that way! When you are in trouble, I wont come help you! If your future son is in trouble, I wont help him! I just wont help you ever again!" Sirius and James rolled their eyes and went under the covers.
Remus snorted as he got under the covers as well. "Watch him die saving James' son."
