Ok right to the story but first

Disclaimer I own nothing except any characters you don't recognize everything else belongs to the lovely and talented J.K. Rowling and the song is 'Taking over me' by Evanescence.

Chapter 8 Taking Over Me

Lily went down to breakfast that morning late because she and Bella were up all night talking. They met the marauders down there and ate quickly so Lily could get ready for her date.

Bella and Lily rushed to their dorm. Unfortunately when they got there they met their 3 dorm-mates; Jessica, Valerie (yay! Tis me!), and Vicky.

"What are you doing here Figg?" said Jessica in a bitchy tone.

"We live here, shit-for-brains." Snapped Bella.

"Bitch"

"Slut"

"Loser"

"Tramp"

"STOP!" yelled Lily "lets just grab some clothes and I'll get ready in the bathroom."
Bella was musing whether she should just listen to Lily or hex Jessica. "fine" she finally said following Lily.

"Coward" whispered Jessica loud enough for everyone to hear her.

"OH THAT'S IT! Furnunculus!" she yelled. Suddenly Jessica grabbed her nose where big ugly boils were sprouting. She screamed and ran for the hospital wing with Valerie and Vicky at her heals.

"That was priceless Bella." Lily laughed.

"Thank you" and she curtsied "lets get you ready we only have-45 MINUTES!"

The girls got to work immediately. Since all her clothes were ugly Lily borrowed Bella's clothes. She put on white tube-top with silver sparkles on the front, a pair of light blue jeans and a jean jacket to keep her warm. She left her hair down and put on some mascara and lip gloss. Finally she was ready.

They ventured downstairs and saw James standing there with a blank piece of parchment. He was wearing a light blue hoodie and jeans. It also looked like he tried to tame his hair because it looked messier than usual.

"You look great, Lily" he said looking her up and down. "Let's go"

He led her out the common room and James looked around. Then he took out his wand, touched the parchment with it and muttered, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Instantly big loopy words appeared that read

Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

Surveyors of Aids to Magical Mischief-Makers

are proud to present

THE MARAUDER'S MAP

Lily watched the map it had every single feature in the castle and the grounds. But the most amazing thing about it were all the moving dots that had a name under it.

"Where did you- how- did u make that?" asked Lily deeply impressed.

"Sure did. Not by myself of course. Took years."

"wow" Lily breathed.

"lets get going."

He led her all the way to statue of the one-eyed witch. James whispered "Dissendium" and the witch's hump opened up. He jumped inside followed closely by Lily, who was slightly frightened. "mischief managed" he said and wiped the map clean. "this way"

They walked for what seemed to be an hour and finally James said "we're here!"

Suddenly a trapdoor fell down, barely missing James's head. He climbed into what looked like a cellar and pulled Lily up.

"Where are we?" she asked

"Honeydukes basement" he answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. They climbed the wooden stairs and carefully opened the door, relieved to see that no one was behind the counter, they rushed to the front door of the store and out.

"Where to first?" asked James.

"How about The Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer."

"ok."

They entered the pub and found a table. Madam Rosemerta came over to their table. "Hi James, Hello Lily. What will it be?"

"Two butterbeers and, do you want anything to eat Lily?"

She shook her head.

"Just butterbeers" he said

"I'll be just a moment.

"James?" Lily said cautiously

"Yeah."

"Thanks"

"For what?"

"For believing me, for giving me another chance. Sirius warned me, you might shut me out but I'm glad you didn't. I hope we can grow to like each other again and you know go out."

"Lily, I still love you. But how do I put this…this whole thing is messed up. And I-

"Here you two are" Said Madam Rosemerta

"Thanks" Lily and James said in unison.

"Anyways, where was I? Oh yes, and I really want to get to know you because deep down I know we're meant to be together. But its hard because even though your Lily, your not my Lily. I hope that didn't sound mean."

"A-a little harsh but its ok, there's really no other way to put it. I know exactly what you're trying to say. Even though I'm Lily, I'm not the Lily you know and love. But maybe we can become more than friends in the future and grow to love each other like we once did."

"I still love you! And it feels like everything is normal and that's how I want it to be! I hope this doesn't sound cheesy, but I wrote this poem thing for u last night."

He handed Lily a crumpled piece of parchment.

Taking Over Me You don't remember me

But I remember you

I lie awake and try so hard

Not to think of you

But who can decide what they dream?

And dream I do…

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know

And all we had?

You saw me mourning my love for you

And touched my hand

I knew you loved me then

I believe in you

I'll give up everything just to find you

I have to be with you to live to breathe

You're taking over me

I look in the mirror and see your face

If I look deep enough

So many things inside that are

Just like you are taking over.

"Oh James" was all Lily could say. The poem had really touched her, it explained a lot. James was determined to make Lily like they once were. "James I have an idea."

He looked up with an unidentifiable emotion in his eyes. She went on. "Lets do everything over."

"What do you mean?" he asked

"Let's redo everything since we dated and then some. Recreate the first romantic thing you did for me. Recreate our first date. Recreate our love."
"That's a good idea and all but I don't really know if I could."
"Try your best. Please for me. I have to know if it's worth staying this way for the rest of my life," pleaded Lily.

"Ok, I can't live my life without you" he said with much determination. "But we have to start now."

"Yes!" exclaimed Lily happily.

Ok that's it, truth be told I had no idea I was going to do that whole recreation of love thing. NOW THE STORY ACTUALLY HAS A PLOT! lol anyway yea I pretty much make my stories up as I go along.

Ok remember to review
