GREEN EYES
CHAPTER 11-GIVING IN
It was a week later when Professor Dumbledore made his big announcment in the lunch hall. Lily was still mad that James would want to be in a realationship with her when they had just ruined her old relationship. Of course, he was choosing her over his best friend. Sirius was always strutting around the castle, holding Nancy's hand and finding every possible way to be seen by Lily and James. Lily was sitting with James, Remus and some of her other friends at the end of the Gryffindor table. Remus had been mad at her for awhile, but he seemed to have gotten over it.
"May I have your attention, all of you? I have an important announcement to make. Professor Thomson, who teaches Muggle Studies, has a very good idea. In the muggle world, high school students get to participate in a dance called the Homecoming. This is celebrated for the muggle sport teams. We've decided to have a quidditch homecoming. The music will be muggle and you are invited to come in muggle clothes. A muggle shop will be opened in Professor Thomson's room for anyone who wants to purchase something. The dance will be held after the next quidditch match, Hufflepuff versus. Syltherin." he said. James looked up at Lily. Afterwords he pulled her aside.
"Lily, I know all about this whole relationship thing, and I respect your decisions. I was just wondering if you will make an exception for the dance." said James.
"Of course I will. I mean, it's only one night, right?" said Lily. James smiled. He hadn't expected this to go over very well.
"Oh, thank you so much Lily," said James, giving her a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek. He then had to run to get to his quidditch practice. Lily smiled. She was almost wondering if she was ready to be his girlfriend, and she thought that the answer was yes.
***
Jamie walked around towards the back of the common room. She really just wanted to be by herself for awhile. She didn't like being mad at Lily. They had been best friends forever, and it was really awkward not to be speaking. Jamie had just started to work on her Charms homework when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find Remus standing behind her.
"Hey Jamie, can I talk to you?" he asked. Jamie nodded.
"Sure. What's up?" she said, casually closing her notebook. She noticed that Remus had something behind his back.
"Well, there's something that I have to tell you. I like you. I've actually like you for a long time. I've just never got the nerve up to tell you this until now. So, I was wondering if maybe you..." he stopped talking and pulled out what he had behind his back. It was a beautifully arranged boquet of red roses. He handed it to her and then finished talking "If maybe you would like to go out with me," he said. Jamie was suprised. She had liked Remus, but she thought that he would never like her back. And then she got caught up in the whole thing with Fredrick.
"Yes!" she said, giving him a big hug. "Oh, these flowers are so wonderful. I want to stay here with you and talk for awhile, but there's something that I have to do frist. I'll be right back, ok?" said Jamie, and rushed off. She suddenly realized how stupid she was, and she was going to appoligize to Lily.
***
Lily was studying up in the library when she heard some farmilar footsteps. She looked up to see James coming through the door. He cam toward her and sat down next to her.
"Mind if I study here?" he asked with a grin.
"Be my guest" said Lily, shifting her books so that he had room to study. They sat there together in silence for awhile, and then James started to talk again.
"Lily, I want to appoligize for everything. I mean, I've been pushing you into something that you don't want to be involved in. I just want to tell you, if you don't like me, that's fine." he said.
"James, I-" Lily started.
"No, let me finish. I know that I'm probably making you uncomfortable, so I won't do it anymore. We'll go to the dance together and then we can go back to the way it was before all this happened." he finished. Lily sat, stunned. How could he do this? How could she have done this to him.
"James, that's not the way I want things to be," said Lily.
"Well, how do you want things to be then? Like this? I'm sorry, am I missing something? Because I'm actually kind of confused right now."
"The thing is James...I mean..well, I..."
"Go on, spit it out Lily!"
"James, I love you. There, I said it. I'll love you till it hurts. I just don't want you to break my heart!" said Lily. Now it was James' turn to be stunned.
"Lily, I love you too. I will never break your heart." he said. Lily smiled.
"Well then, I guess you got your wish. I want to be with you. And I don't want to just be with you. I want to be your girlfriend. Officially." she said. The she rested her head on her shoulder and they sat there together in silence. Everything was as bad as it had been before, but Lily didn't care anymore. This was perfect.
A/N-Ok, so it finnally happened. Yea! Well, thanks again for your reviews. They are so great. I really love this story, and I'm happy to know that you guys love it too! Well, I actually don't have anything else to say. If you've actually read this very boring author's note, than kudos to you.
