Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Harry Potter, because if I did I would have more than a trillion books published, in more than 10 different languages, and would be rich beyond my wildest dreams thus I would not be writing on What I'm trying to say for the thick ones (no offense meant) is that this belongs to J.K Rowling and it is all her masterpiece and I am not making any profit whatsoever except getting reviews (which make me happy, and are not any type of money!!! and I'm making this way to looooong) so don't sue (not that anyone in their right mind would anyway).
This last two weeks had been a very confusing time; she really didn't know what to make of them. He had looked for conversation around the library, where Lily was sure to be found everyday. At first Brandon would ask questions about the rules, or things he pretended to be insecure of. Little by little he had started to wave, all of this happening in a week. Then Brandon had asked her out on a date, frankly Lily thought he was quite a fit looking boy, so why should she say no?
They had gone for a butterbeer...Brandon had taken hold of her hand, what was she supposed to do? She had no clue, so she just let him. Lily supposed he had taken that as a good sign because later on he had been extremely fidgety and had blurted out:
"Listen, I really rate you so... Will you go with me?"
"Um...Sure" she had said with a hint of uncertainty in her voice, but of course the boy was so relieved she had said yes, he took no notice.
Then he leaned in, Lily thought for a fleeting second that she should turn her head, scratch her eye, pretend something had pinched her; but what the hell? They were going out now...So she had kissed him, it was short, a kind of peck. She wouldn't have wanted him to go any further anyway.
A week, 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes, 604800 seconds. She had been going out with him for a week now. He made her smile, yes smile and well, she liked that.
Two weeks, 14 days, 336 hours, 20160 minutes, 1209600 seconds. She had been going out with him for two weeks now. He was nice, and caring. She felt her personal space was being invaded.
Lily was seating quietly in the common room brushing up in transfiguration, when her best friend, Denisse, came in.
"Hey Lily, it's been a while since you have been available" Denisse said, offering he friend a smile.
"I know, all this head girl stuff is driving me to the verge of madness" Lily exclaimed with Wide eyes.
"Head girl? You mean boyfriend, you guys are together all the time" "ummm, yeah, well we also have to do patrols, and other stuff" said Lily in an uncomfortable tone.
"Yeah, sure...So how's Brandon. Everyone is talking about you guys, you make such a cute couple" said Denisse, she looked at lily oddly, why did she feel so uncomfortable talking about him?
"He's fine I guess" Lily said lamely, slightly exasperated, the last thing she wanted to do was talk about him.
"What's wrong tiger?" asked her friend, with concern clearly showing in her eyes.
"Well, I don't quite know. Merlin, you know how couples are supposed to enjoy the time they spend together? Well when I am with Brandon I feel like I'm in a potions class, just waiting for the time in which I can leave...Shit, and you know how couples are unhappy when they don't see each other?" Lily said, luckily for her ther was no one in the common room so she was free to shout, to be relived from her stress.
"Yeah..." said Denisse, nodding to her friend so she could get everything out.
"Well when I'm with him I look for excuses to leave, or when we don't see each other...or well see each other for short periods of time, I am relived...I find myself here exactly because I know this is the only place where he can't find me, I feel like a trapped mouse" She said throwing her hands in the air and sitting back down to her original position.
"Well maybe you guys have been spending too much time together in this last few weeks...Look me and the rest of our moronic friends are going to Hogsmeade this weekend. You should really come with us" said Denisse, she believed Lily needed to spend some time with friends, so she could relax.
"Will Potter be there?"
"What do you think? Yes, James will be there Lily. Seriously, You two really need to sort out your problems...Anyway so you'll come, right?" she finally asked.
"Right, right...I'll go" she said smiling, Denisse was right she needed to spend some time with them. She did need a few laughs.
The week had gone by in a blur and Lily found herself looking for Denisse in the common room, ready to spend a Brandon-free-day with her best friends.
"Are you ready?" came a voice from behind, Denisse was smiling at Lily, with her winter clothes wrapped tightly around her.
"Yeah, where are the guys?" she asked, as she looked around and only saw Denisse in the common room.
"They are in Quidditch Pitch, lets go get them" she said and laughed when she saw Lily's facial expression.
"They are mental...up in the air when is this cold" Lily said shaking her head.
They walked in the snow covered grounds until they reached the Quidditch field, in which they 3 dots were moving around the sky. Two of them headed down as soon as they saw the girls arrived, but the other remained up. Then suddenly James dived speedily into the ground, pulling up just as Lily let out a squeal of fright, inches away from the ground. The teenage boy smugly and gracefully hoped off his broom, a smirk on his handsome face.
"Scared Evans?" said James arrogantly, she would've hit him if she hadn't contolled herself.
"Of What? It doesn't take much skill flying around like a baboon" She said, knowing that what she had just said was a complete lie, she knew perfectly well that flying was a very skilled art.
"Well Then I dare you" he spat with fury, her face paled visibly.
"Dare me to what?" she said in a whisper. "I dare you to do what I just did" he said, enjoying every moment in which she squirmed with fear.
"That...ah...well...you see..." she was at a loss of words, but then she saw his triumphant little smirk, she could not let him win "Give me that broom Potter" she said with a booming voice she hoped sounded confident. Surprised James handed her his precious broom.
She swung her leg around the broom, and now wished she had listened to Madame Hooch back in first year. Lily had only mounted a broom three times before, but none of those occasions included an extremely dangerous, not to mention stupid (so Lily thinks) dive; or proving herself to that brat...She just hoped she didn't have to be returned home in pieces...and she mentally kicked herself for ever thinking she could be in the quidditch team.
"Well get going!" said James loudly, and that broke her trail of thought.
Lily clumsily kicked off and soared, in a sloppy manner into the never-ending sky. She went up until she thought it was a good distance to dive, and so she did. For a second Lily found herself panicking, this was it, she was going to die. With all the strength she could muster with her panicked arms she pulled on the broom and found herself hovering above the ground. Se hadn't realized she had been holding her breath and let it out as she hoped onto the ground. The tip of her nose was red, and her eyes watery, but there definitely was a smug, and defiant expression written all over her pretty freckled face.
"I thought you were mortally scared of flying" said Sirius disbelievingly to Lily, gaping at her.
"Well, Mr. Black you 'll find that fear will not keep me from doing anything" said Lily smirking over at James, who was avoiding her, bright green eyes.
"Specially when it involves making James look like a git" said Denisse under her breath so only her cousin could hear her, he looked up, furious for a moment and then looked away. Soon Sirius took a hold of Denisse's hand, and leading the group they went off to Hogsmeade.
She couldn't believe how much she had missed he friends. Lily had had such a good time with her friends she hadn't realized how fast the time had gone by. She had laughed like she hadn't in weeks, evens James had cracked a few jokes that made her giggle. Thinking about it James wasn't half bad when he wasn't torturing her, he was even fun to be around. She smiled to herself as she lay in bed...this was definitely the best time she had had in weeks...
I know the chapters aren't nearly as long as you guys want them to be, but I didn't take too long to update (compared to other times...) And that nothing really important happens here...but I enjoyed specially doing the flying part in this chapter :)
