Chapter Eight - Preparing for the end.
Even though James knew he was getting through to Lily, it had got to the point now where she was avoiding him and he didn't know if it was a good thing because she was starting to like him but didn't want to face it or whether it was a bad thing and she just couldn't stand the sight of him any longer and he had to find out. He went strait down into the common room with Remus, Sirius and Peter shouting after him. As James reached the common room he ran across to the girls dormitory and stopped at the bottom of the stairs. "LEHANNA, JADE...COME DOWN HERE! NOW!" James shouted and waited until he could here foot steps coming downstairs.
As they came down pulling their dressing gowns tightly around them. Sirius and Remus also came down from their dormitory to see what all the noise was about, as did many other people. After all it was the latest instalment in the schools latest live show. As Lehanna and Jade walked up to James, all three of them hoped Lily wouldn't come down herself to see what was going on.
"James what is? And I don't think its wise to go shouting around I don't want Lily thinking this whole thin has anything to do with us, what ever it is." Said Lehanna in a whispered voice.
"Fine, i wont ask anything of you again if you'll answer me this. Does Lily like me? I need to know its important I only have three more days starting tomorrow and its important to me" James started to panicking and pacing up and down and running his hand through his hair several times. Everyone stood in shock watching and no one more so than Jade and Lehanna.
"James, what are you on about only three days left?" Asked Jade. James sighed loudly. "Look just tell me! Its important." "Look I don't know whether Lily likes you or not, and it would help James if you didn't constantly bug her with stupid chat up lines just TALK to her and maybe you'll get somewhere." Lehanna followed Jade up stairs as they went back to bed. Everyone's also left as the show had now ended. James went back up to his dormitory pushing past Sirius as he went.
The next morning Sirius, Remus and Peter woke up to find James in the same clothes he was in last night and a small scrap of paper in front of him and it was apparent that he had not slept all night. As soon as everyone else was awake and read they headed down to the great hall for breakfast. James struggled to eat anything and as he looked down the table it seemed that Lily also had the same trouble. Lehanna and Jade were trying to get her to eat something.
James pulled the scrape of piece of a paper out of his pocket and looked at it before getting up and walking over to Lily. "Your lips look so sweet just one kiss from you and i swear i could give up sugar for life." James tried to say it as soft as he could and to alleviate all the tension from his voice. Lily looked up at James and words failed her as they did so many times when she spoke to James. She left and Jade and Lehanna went after Lily, normally Lily had a bit fire to her she could with stand most things.
"Lily, wait," shouted Lehanna. "Look just leave it you guys, I just want some fresh air and some time alone." "Look Lily if really want we'll put our feet down with James, force him to shut up and leave you alone." Lehanna and Jade looked at Lily for an answer but she didn't say anything she just sat down on the grass by the lake.
When lessons started Lily sat quietly and found James by her side, but there was something different. He was relaxed and his usual aura didn't seem to be there, he was tense and rigid. As much as she didn't really know what to think, feel or say to James she felt obligated to say something. "James are you ok? You seem a little...well I know its nothing to do with me...or anything but you just seem...well I dunno. I suppose I just mean are you ok?"
James struggled with his emotions he really wanted to just hug Lily and make her better and reassure her he was now also ok. But he couldn't. He could only use chat up lines. "Is it hot in here or is it just you?" James still struggled to hide the tension. "Ok James." Lily and James didn't talk to each other throughout the rest of the lesson. Lily tried to pull herself together and realised that she as only reacting and feeling funny because she didn't know how to react. After all this was the first time some that she didn't like but could put up with had become someone she thought could be a friend due to silly chat up lines. The problem was she didn't know if he wanted to be friends with her too. So Lily set off to her next class feeling much better.
When she got there her friends asked her the usual friendly questions. "You all right?" "How are you feeling?"
Lily answered the questions defiantly and her friends seemed convinced that lily had sorted out whatever it was that seemed to be bugging her. James sat behind Lily and looked at her and a small but slightly in his opinion pathetic idea crept into his head and a little ray of hope made James brighten up.
As the bell went for break James got Lily's attention. "Get your coat love you've pulled" James indicated that Lily should follow him. Lily looked at her two friends who shrugged but pushed Lily towards James anyway.
As James and Lily entered the grounds outside and got nearer the lake James spoke again. "Do you know what would look good on me? You" James held out his arm and indicated that lily should take it whilst they walked.
Lily hesitated but decided this would be a good time to make it clear she wanted to be a friend to James.
Very sneakily James carefully picked flowers from the side of the lake, without Lily seeing. When he suddenly stopped and turned to face Lily she moved away slightly but this didn't put James off. "Hello I'm a thief and I'm here to steal your heart" as he said this he pulled out the bunch of freshly picked flowers which made Lily smile, her first real one today.
Lessons continued and James didn't speak to Lily through either of the two lessons mainly due to the fact that he only had two more chat up lines on his scrap bit of paper to use today and he would wait until later. He wanted to remember how she had smiled at the lake, even though he didn't really speak to her at all.
At dinner James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were heading down to their usual seats on the Gryffindore table. As Lily looked quite happy James decided another silly chat up line should keep her happy. "Are you a parking ticket, cause you got FINE written all over you." Lily cracked up laughing and she couldn't help it. James smiled and walked off with his gob smacked friends behind him.
Lehanna and jade also looked a little shocked but hid it well from Lily. James again didn't speak to lily throughout the rest of the lessons and the day went quite well. The marauders also had their fun as well. They turned Snape's hair pink, turned his robes luminous yellow with bright blue starts on it, they also made it so that only he couldn't see what he looked like.
Overall everyone seemed to be a good mood even Lily and James who had previously been preoccupied with troubles of their own. As James was about to leave the common room for his dormitory he had one last thing to say to Lily. "I hope you know CPR, cause you take my breath away." James swung once on the banister and went strait upstairs. Lily was tempted to throw something at him but decided it was after all funny so she wouldn't bother giving him any satisfaction.
Little did she know she was giving him all the satisfaction he needed?
Once James was upstairs a sudden realization hit him. He didn't have anymore chat up lines not any that he could think of.
When Remus came up James turned to him for advice. "Mooney I haven't got any more chat up lines. What do I do?" James looked desperate and Remus was always willing to help. "James why don't you try more sentimental chat up lines not just funny ones." "But funny's what I do Mooney." "Yes but you do love as well James." Remus left to get ready for bed and James thought hard about what Remus had just said.
A/N: Right well there are only Two more chapters left to do but as I have loved doing this story I might do a sequel as I said above and I'll let more details about that out if enough people agree to a sequel! (
