"Not That Special to Me"
~*~
Lily stepped inside the Gryffindor Common Room and found the Marauders seated over the four comfy cushions near the fire.
Approaching them carefully, Lily saw that James was sulked in his chair, watching his friends game of Exploding Snap.
"Lily-kins!" Sirius sang out. "Sit down!" Sirius patted his knee.
"Evening Sirius. Remus. Peter." Lily said as she looked at each person. "James,"
Sirius patted his knees again. "That's all right," Lily told him.
"Sit down," Sirius said in a stern tone. "We must have a talk,"
"I'll stand, thank you. What must we have a talk about," Lily inquired.
"Well," Sirius began. "There's a rumor going around that you are Snape's date to the
Valentine's Day Ball,"
Lily eyed James warily, but he wasn't looking at her. He was still watching the discarded Exploding Snap game.
"He did ask me to Ball," Lily started slowly, "And I did accept,"
"WHAT?" Sirius yelled jumping to his feet. The entire common room was watching him now. "WHY?"
"Calm down, Sirius," Remus said soothingly, noticing the many faces that were watching them. "I'm sure Lily has her reasons. Personally, I think..."
"I don't give a damn what you think!" Sirius snapped angrily. "Lily..." he whined. "How could you do this do us? He's dirty, and pathetic...and sleasy, and has greasy-hair!"
"My, my aren't we shallow?" Lily asked in a mocked tone. "He's sweet, and nice,"
"Nice?" Sirius wrinkled his nose. "Snape is not nice, Lily!"
But Lily ignored him and continued. "...and he certainly showed courage by asking me. And since no one had asked me yet," Lily's eyes shifted to James, who eyes were still on the Exploding Snap game. "I agreed to be his date."
"Someone would've asked you, Lily-poo! You've got to have patience!" Sirius complained. "You know what, I'll ask you. Lily, will you go to Ball with me?" Sirius pleaded.
"Don't you already have a date?" Lily scoffed.
"Well, yes. James can take her. Better yet, go with James! I'm sure James would love to take you..." Sirius said cheerfully, with a wink.
"I don't know what game your playing, Black," Lily said darkly. "But I will go with the person I intend to go with."
Sirius's face scrunched up into a confused look. "Potter, I'll see you at the Heads meeting to discuss the Ball," Lily said before heading up the dormitory stairs.
"What do you suppose she meant by that?" Sirius asked. "What sort of game am I playing? I wasn't playing any game. Lily-pad is mean!"
Peter shrugged. But Remus looked thoughtful. "I don't know what she meant, either Sirius." Then he turned and looked at James. "What happened last night between you two?"
James didn't answer.
"You were pretty quiet there, James," Remus said lightly.
"I'm all right," James said. "Just tired..."
~*~
The next night, James and Lily met up to discuss the Valentine's Day Ball. There was only one problem; communication.
"So, for music...I was thinking Witches Squared," Lily suggested. She jotted her suggestion down on a piece of parchment.
"Yeah," James mumbled. He couldn't stand being in the same room with Lily. A month ago he would've loved it, but now....now he didn't want to see her or talk to her.
"And of course, our theme will going to be the Valentine's Day theme," Lily went on. She watched James carefully, and he finally muttered a, "Sure,"
"Dress robes only," Lily said.
"Fine,"
"Tons of of valentine's day candy,"
"Uh huh,"
"A little table with valentines you can mail to your friends,"
"All right,"
"And then you and Snape will open the dance. Together. To the most romantic song of the evening," Lily finished.
"Cool," was James's response.
Lily knew now for sure that James wasn't been listening.
"James, I'm really sorry." Lily told him pushing aside her parchment and quill. "I wanted to go with you...I did. But Severus got to me first, and I couldn't refuse. I can't
stand seeing you like this. You're unenthusiastic, undetermined...you've just got no spirit."
When James's didn't say anything, Lily sighed and packed up her bags. She reached for the doorknob when James finally said, "I told you, that night, that I would respect your feelings. And I do...but when you agreed to be Snape's date, you didn't respect mine," he said in a sort of loftily manner.
Lily wanted to stay and talk a bit more, but had a gut feeling she wasn't wanted.
"And..." James spoke up again, "I'm not in this mood because of you. I'm simply tired; no one, not even you, could make me feel this way."
The word's hurt...but James's wasn't quite finished. "If you think you're that special to me...well, you're not..."
Lily nodded and practically ran out of the classroom.
~*~
"I will not cry," Lily promised her, chanting the words silently. "I will not cry over a boy,"
Lily raced upstairs to her dormitory, causing a stir in the common room. Opening the door and throwing her bag on her bed, she sank to her knees and sobbed.
~*~
"Time, where did you go?
Why did you leave me here alone?
Wait, don't go so fast
I'm missing the moments as they pass
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
So wait for me this time
I'm down I'm down on my knees I'm begging for all your sympathy
But you (I'm just an illusion) you don't seem to care (I wish that I could)
You humble people everywhere (I don't mean to hurt you)
Now I've looked in the mirror and the worlds getting clearer
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
So wait for me this time
I should've know better
I shouldn't have wasted those days
And afternoons and mornings
I threw them all away
Now this is my time
I'm going to make this moment mine.
(I shouldn't have wasted those days)
I'll take what you give me. Please know that I'm learning
I've looked in the mirror
My world's getting clearer
So wait for me this time"
