"James! James, I found you as soon as I could..." Janelle rushed into the boy's dormitory. Her cheeks were flushed and she was out of breath. She handed three photographs to James, who took them unsure of what they were.
Three pictures; all similar. Brad and Lily, kissing. Brad and Lily, fooling around. Brad and Lily...period.
Sirius took the pictures from James and he and Remus took a look.
"Oh," was all Remus could say.
"When were these taken?" James seemed to have lost his voice.
"This morning. Outside the Great Hall," Janelle said. "I heard about you and Lily, and I thought...that you should know,"
James eyes Janelle warily. "I don't know, Janelle. Lily wouldn't do this. And you have good motive, too. By the way, Janelle, I am sorry about last night,"
"You think I'm doing this out of revenge? You think I jinxed those pictures, so you'd get mad at Lily?" Janelle asked shocked.
"Well, yes," James admitted.
"I agree with James," Sirius raised his hand.
Janelle put her hands on her hips. "Why don't you ask your girlfriend, Potter? Go on, ask her if she and Brad were kissing this morning. Show her the pictures!" Janelle dared him.
"All right," James said standing up from his bed. Sirius and Remus glanced nervously at each other. "All right, I will,"
~*~
"Lily, I would like a word with you," James ordered.
"James, I'm not some servant of yours. You can't just order me..."
James didn't want her to finish; he just wanted the truth. He slapped the three photographs on the table and Lily peered into them. The photographs; the photographer. Lily suddenly felt very sick.
"Where did you get these?" Lily asked hoarsley.
"You mean, they're real? They're not jinxed?" James asked angrily.
"They're...they are real. But James," Lily said quickly.
"You cheated on me! You..."
Lily's eyes turned a blaze green. "I never cheated on you! We were never going out in the first place!"
"Then what do you call last night?"
"I called last night a proposal for a date. I thought you understood that!"
"Couples go on dates! That's what we were, a couple!" James yelled. It was outrageous, yet both sides have a point.
"Couple do go on dates! But we hadn't gone on one yet!" Lily yelled. Suddenly, there was a sore pit in her stomach. The entire Gryffindor common room was watching them silently. Their Head Boy arguing with the Head Girl. About an issue that didn't even include Hogwarts.
"You don't understand, James. Please, just...hear me out," Lily wanted him to listen.
"No, I don't want to hear your side of it. I know what I see, and right now, the photographs are speaking loud and clear. Just, just leave me alone," James said miserably as he ran up the dormitory stairs.
Lily shot Sirius, Remus, and Peter pleading looks.
"How could you do this to him, Evans?" Sirius asked coldly, shaking his head. Peter gave her a similar glare. Remus followed Sirius and Peter up the stairs, giving her an apologetic look. Lily sighed as the girls crowded around her.
"What's your side of it, Lily?" Rachel asked softly.
~*~
Lily was on her way to charms class when Janelle popped her head out from a classroom and motioned for Lily to come inside.
"What's up, Janelle?" Lily asked, walking into the empty classroom.
With a swift of her wand, Janelle buddled Lily up in ropes and placed her in a chair, then locking the doors.
"What are you doing?" Lily yelled.
"For once, things are finally going my way," Janelle said smiling.
~*~
"Today, we will learm about the Rossimy charm. A ridiculously difficult spell, I must say..." Professor Flitwick said.
"Where's Lily?" Remus asked Sirius, noticing the empty seat in the front.
"Don't know, don't care," Sirius said, taking out a quill to copy the notes.
"James, where's Lily?" Remus whispered. James's head shot up. Sure enough, Lily wasn't in her usual seat. In fact, Lily wasn't even in the classroom.
"I really shouldn't care..." James said uneasily, pretending that Lily's whereabouts meant nothing to him.
"You should care, Potter," Faryn, who happened to be sitting in front of James, said crisply. "Don't go blaming it on Lily. She didn't do anything...you ruined your entire relationship with Lily,"
"Oh really? And how did I do that?" James asked angrily as the images of Lily and Brad kissing flooded his brain, "did I kiss some other girl? No, I didn't,"
"You didn't even hear Lily out. You didn't hear her side," Matilda said.
"He didn't have to. The pictures explained themselves," Sirius said haughtingly.
Faryn glanced nervously and Matilda. They were communicating, but without words.
"You're going to be sorry you said that Sirius. And one day, James, you will be sorry for not hearing her out," Faryn said finally before returning to her notes.
"What do you 'spect she meant by that?" Remus asked.
"She's probably BLUFFING," Sirius said loudly so Faryn could hear him, "so that you would apologize to Lily,"
James couldn't concentrate. Faryn was right; he hadn't listened to Lily's side. But the pictures represented themselves, didn't they? Was Faryn right? Would he regret it one day?
"Faryn," James hissed. Faryn was obviously trying to ignore James and continued to whisper to Matilda. "Matilda," James hissed. The silent treatment.
James finally poked Faryn. She turned, clearly upset and annoyed, and mouthed a 'what?'
"What is Lily's side of the story?" James asked her. Faryn looked at Matilda again, and their silent communication began.
"Oh, the hell with you two! Talk to us!" Sirius cried, causing the entire class, including Professor Flitwick to stare at him. "Ahem," Sirius said softly. Then he grinned.
"Brad uhh, took advantage of her," Matilda said.
"Took advantage?" James asked. He didn't like the sound of it and the direction it was headed.
"Lily broke it off with him...and he got, violent. Pinned her against the wall...and he started kissing her," Faryn told them.
"Well, Faryn, may I remind you that Lily kissed him back. She could've pushed him away..." Sirius said knowingly.
But that wasn't right. And James knew it. Lily was rather petite, even for a seventeen year old. 5'4" Lily could have never been able to push away a 6" strong and musclar Quidditch player. It made sense now. Then the photographer came around the corner and snapped the pictures and...
"...No, she couldn't have. She didn't have the strength to push him away. He was too big and heavy," James said. Faryn and Matilda gave James and Sirius looks that made them regret. (And sweet smiles at Remus).
"Where is Lily?" James asked, finally realizing that Lily still hadn't shown up to class. Faryn gave a confused look and peered to the front row. Then to the second, third, and finally the last row.
"I don't know. She wouldn't miss charms," Faryn said, slightly panicked. Faryn whispered something to Felicia and Anabelle, who was sitting next to her.
All four girls turned their heads and started naming the possibilites of where Lily was.
"She's sick," Matilda suggested.
"She didn't complete the homework," Felicia said undoubtedly. ("Do you KNOW Lily Evans?" Sirius asked completely astounded)
"She fell asleep?" Anabelle suggested.
"Is there something interesting you all wold like to share with us?" Professor Flitwick asked the group, whose whispers had soon turned into loud voices.u
"Professor, it has just occured to us that Ms. Evans is not here," James spoke up.
Professor Flitwick glanced momentarily at his front row, and his eyes darted back to James.
"Do you believe she is in trouble, Mr. Potter?"
"I believe something is up...charms is her favorite class. And Evans wouldn't miss a class, anyways, especially her favorite one," James said.
"All right, Mr. Potter. You may look for her. But be sure to get the Rossimy notes from..." Professor Flitwick told him.
~*~
"Why are you doing this?" Lily asked as she struggled against the ropes.
"I'm not doing this for me....I'm doing this for James," Janelle said wickedly.
"James asked you to..." Lily asked. She had never felt so much hate towards James Potter. First he didn't believe her about the photographs, and now he wants to kill her.
"Course he did. He said he would kill you personally, but he had better things to do than waste his time on you," Janelle narrowed her eyes.
Lily's eyes filled up with the tears that she had bottled up.
"Go on and cry, Evans. You're dead anyways," Janelle said, smiling. With her wand, Janelle lifted the chair which Lly was sitting on. The scene was too familiar. Lily knew James must've put Janelle up to this; afterall, he had lifted her and dropped her not too long ago, too. Lily remembered.
Before Lily could think any more, Janelle dropped the chair violently. Lily felt pain all around...she had landed body first. The weight of the chair on top of her caused even more pain.
"Come on, Evans. Where's your strength? You're Head Girl after all," Janelle asked, enjoying herself. "Better strengthen up, you've got a long day ahead of you,"
~*~
James was walking, poking his head into every classroom, hoping to find Lily. He had already searched Gryffindor Tower and her dormitory, but didn't find Lily.
Thud.
James's ears picked up. He heard a big thud. Poking his head into McGonagall's classroom, he glanced around the classroom.
"Potter! What are you doing out of class?" McGonagall said sharply.
James heard another thud. It was louder and closer than the first one. James followed the repetition of thuds, leaving McGonagall clueless.
"James Potter! Get back her and explain to me..." McGongall warned.
But James wasn't listening, all he could hear were the thuds. His pace quickened, and he was sure she had found Lily. Opening the classroom door, he gasped at what he saw.
"James!" Janelle asked startled.
A body was on the floor; she was tied to ropes, a chair slung over her limp body. James knew at once who it was. He rushed to her side.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU PLAYING?" James hollered at Janelle.
"I did this for you, James! I did this for you! You and me! I did this..." Janelle knew she had made James mad.
"I DON'T WANT THIS! I DON'T WANT THIS!" James yelled. He felt sick all over.
"Good heavens!" McGonagall gasped as she approached the students. Janelle, with her wand in her hand, James on the floor trying to remove the chair off of Lily, and Lily, who had been through more torture than she could handle.
"Lily?" James asked her softly. He took her into his arms.
She is so weak, James thought to himself.
Her green eyes not longer glowed; her face was pale, and her hair was plain red. "Lily, can you hear me? Say something..." James pleaded. Lily's eyes blinked.
McGonagall magicked a stretcher.
"I hate you. I hate you with all my heart," Lily whispered finally, her tears streaming rapidly down her face. James watched as the stretcher lifted Lily and headed out of the door.
