~*~GREEN EYES~*~
Chapter 42-Too Much Drama
Lily woke up on the 31st of december with the sound of wings. She looked up to see that a brown owl that seemed to be wearing some sort of torquise jeweled collar was carrying a letter with her name addressed on the front. Lily took it from the owl and opened it to find a letter from Lauren.
Dear Lily,
I'm going to be having a new year's eve party at my house tonight. I hope it's not too late notice. It's from 8:00 tonight until 11:00 tomorrow morning. I hope you can make it. Well, see you there.
Love ya!
Lauren
Just then there was a knock at her door. James didn't even wait for her to say come in, he just jumped on her bed with a grin on his face.
"Good morning sunshine," he said sweetly, handing her a candy came. Lily raised her eyebrows.
"What do you want from me?" she asked skeptically.
"I don't want anything from you darling Lily flower," James replied.
"Yes you do, I know you well enough to know that," said Lily.
"Okay fine, I was looking through your new book on charms that you got for christmas-" James started, but Lily cut him off.
"That's mine! Why were you going through my stuff?" asked Lily.
"I had a reason, just hear me out. So anyway, I was looking through that beautiful look of charms that belongs to the lovely Lily flower," James smiled a huge grin at Lily, but she just shook her head laughing. James seemed to realize that the sweet talk wasn't gonna work so he finished what he had to say very quickly. "Well, there's this charm to make an owl look like a dragon and I thought it would be a real nice wake up call for Snape if an owl flew in and scared him like that so I've already gotten my owl and everything but the charm...didn't really work all too well."
James held up the dragon/owl and Lily had to laugh. The owl was snowy, and apparently James had tried to turn it into a red dragon because he had pretty much ended up with a pink owl that breathed smoke out of its nose.
"Please help her Lily! She can't go to school anymore, all the other owls will make fun of her!" exclaimed James, cuddling his owl in his arms.
"Fine, fine. Give me the charm," said Lily. James handed her the open book and she quickly shouted Dragonus! The owl was immeadiatly the perfect model of a dragon, red with dragon like wings and big orange claws. James quickly scribbled a note that said Happy New Year Snapie! and tied it to the dragon/owl's claw. It flew off out the window, and James and Lily ran onto the balcony to watch. It was less than a minute when...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!!!!!!!! GET AWAY FROM ME EVIL DRAGON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Snape screamed. He then appeared at the window with half of his hair scorached. "I'm gonna get you for this Potter!" he yelled, shaking his fist. He then touched his head and realized he had burnt hair and, with one last shake of his fist, he ran into his house. The dragon/owl flew back, and Lily quickly did the counter-charm before the little monster had time to ruin her bedspread.
"Well as much fun as it is to hang out with you and face being killed by Adamus Snape, I think I'd rather pass. I'll be off at Lauren's house if you need me," said Lily, turning around to walk out the door.
"But you gotta admit that was a good one," said James. Lily smiled.
"Yeah, that was a good one."
***
"So now you finally decide to show up. Where have you been this entire break Lily?" asked Lauren. The two sat on her bed, eating some Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans.
"I've been hanging out with James," replied Lily with a little blissful sigh at the end.
"Oh my God, you totally like him!" exclaimed Lauren. Of course she had been thinking this for a long time, but this was the first oppurtunity she had gotten to let her thoughts known.
"No I don't, I'm not in love with James Potter," said Lily.
"Oh yes yes you are! You are so in love with him."
"Ok, maybe I am but just a little bit."
"Oh, I knew it! And you can tell that he totally love you too." Lauren smiled at Lily. Lily almost told her what had happened after their kiss, but then decided not to. The words had hurt her so much she couldn't even voice them.
"Yeah, maybe he does..." Lily trailed off.
"Well don't worry about it, I'll fix you guys back up again. Are you coming to the party?" asked Lauren.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world," replied Lily.
"Ok, we'll do it then."
***
"And now, since it is less than five minutes until midnight, I have a little game for us to play to ring in the new year. James, truth or dare?" James looked up at Lauren from where he had been sitting talking in hushed voices to Sirius.
"Dare. I'm a dangerous man, and Dare is my middle name," he replied in his best James Bond voice.
"Whatever. I. Dare. You. To. KISS. Lily," said Lauren slowly. Lily tried her best to look shocked, and then shrugged her shoulders and smiled at James.
"Listen, I'd rather not," said James.
"What, why? You can't back down on a dare James," Lauren replied.
"Oh yes I can. Lily and I are over, done, never happening again. I'd appreciate it if you guys don't push the subject," James said in a don't press this any further tone. He then sat up and walked out of the room.
"Harsh," said Sirius sarcastically. Lauren give him a look, and Sirius rolled his eyes. "Well, what I meant to say was he just doesn't realize that he is still in love with you."
"Whatever. I told Lauren that he didn't want this to go any further and she pushed it and now look what happened! James probably won't even speak to me. And we have to be in the same house for five more days. It's all your fault Lauren. All of it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going home," and with that Lily walked out. Lauren looked at Sirius, tears glistening in her eyes.
"Do you think this is my fault?" she asked.
"No, I don't. This is just a fight between Lily and James, and you got stuck in the middle of it. It sucks, but welcome to life," Sirius explained, pulling Lauren into a tight hug. "Now why don't we find James, it's gonna be midnight soon."
***
James sat forlornly on the couch. Midnight had come and gone, and he hadn't moved from that spot since the truth or dare gone wrong. Lauren and Sirius were slow dancing together in the next room, and had been for about an hour. The door swung open, and there stood Lily, her face so wet with tears that it had become red and blotchy.
"James, can I talk to you?" she asked. Not again. I don't need anymore of your damn drama.
"I don't really want to talk to you right now. Don't you have an elsewhere to be?" he asked.
"James, I don't mean to annoy you or anything-"
"Lily, just shut up for once. I don't want to get back together with you, and I know that's what you want to talk about. It's what's been on your mind since the stupid mistletoe on Christmas. I love you Lily, it just hurts too much to be in love with you right now."
"James, that's really not what I wanted to talk to you about."
"Oh yeah, than what is it?" asked James, starting to get annoyed.
"This, well, it's kind of hard to say," said Lily, starting to cry again.
"Just say it, and don't be so melodramatic," said James.
"My...my...my..." Lily trailed off.
"Just spit it out why don't you," James replied rudely.
"James, my parents were killed tonight by Voldemort."
