They don't love you like I love you
Chapter 5

Disclaimer: see chapter 1
The weeks past and soon enough it was the middle of February, and everyone knows what that means. That's right Valentines Day was on the approach.
Whenever Lily saw a young couple walking around Diangon Ally or sitting in the pub, she would scowl thinking about what James had thrown away. She sometimes even pictured herself with James at a table talking about their future. But she would hastily remove the thought from her head before she became overly upset.
Slowly but, but surely, she started to forget about James and what he had done to her. She didn't take out her anger on people anymore, but wrote it down into songs, songs she planed to sing at a bar down the street in Diagon Ally, on Valentine's Day no doubt.
Another way she was getting over her recent break-up was to start dating again.
The first guy she went out with, was a blind date set up by Sirius of all people. The guy's name was Sean O'Connor. Lets just say that didn't last long. Sean had one eye, and had only 3 finger on his left hand. It wasn't the looks that bothered Lily, it was the fact that he kept trying to grope her under the table. And also, he was kind of sleazy, with greased back hair.
The scend guy, Diana set Lily up with. His name was Andrew Warner. He had dark hair that fell into his startlingly blue eye. He wore jeans, a white t-shirt, and a black leather jacket. They talked for hours about subjects that Lily would never of even tried to talk to James about. The mistreatment of magical part humans, the up incoming Minister of Magic election, and the regulation and control of magical beasts were just some of the aspect that the pair fought about. Andrew seemed pretty nice, until he tried to bite Lily's neck instead of giving her a kiss on the cheek; which was a major turn-off.
On Valentine's Day, Lily awoke almost like any other day. She took her shower and made breakfast before heading out to a busy day at work.
When she arrived at St. Mungo's, the waiting area must have been filled with at least twenty or so people. Lily hurriedly walked behind the desk and took her seat as the welcome witch. The line in front of her was already long.
The first pair came up to her.
"Yes, My name is Leigh O'Brien. I was sent these flowers, and when I tried to put them into a vase, the leaves clamped onto my ears and they wouldn't let go." The woman in front of Lily, held the stems of the hot pink flowers. The leaves were indeed clasped to her ears. What a sight it was.
"That'll be the third floor, off you go." she bent down to write the patients name and symptoms on a piece of parchment. "Next." she looked up into the face of a handsome wizard. "Yes, what is wrong with you?" "My girl friend got into a fight with me last night and pored Buba Tuba puss onto my hands." The man's hands looked as if he had thick knobbly gloves on. He winced as he gingerly placed it onto the desk.
"That'll be the third floor also. Next!" She chimed as the man went through the door.
It carried on in this manner until finally the 5 o'clock bell chimed. "See you tomorrow, Jenny." she was the other welcome witch.
"Bye Lily. Have a good night." she winked at Lily as she picked her cloak and gloves out of the closet.
Lily waved good-bye and walked out of the hospital. She made her way down the busy streets. There were small cherubs hanging from store windows and paper hearts streamed across the street.
Lily arrived home, a little frazzled. She had seen no more then four couples making-out on the way home. It didn't really anger her as much as it saddened her. She didn't even hear Diana come home. When Lily walked out of her bedroom, in her little black dress, her hair up into an elegant twist and her make-up expertly applied she didn't expect Diana to be sitting on her bed.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be getting ready to go out with Sirius?" she frowned at her appearance in her floor length mirror. 'Maybe I should put on the green dress.' she thought to herself.
"Sirius is meeting me here. He said he had something special planned and I wasn't allowed to go to my house. So I need to get ready here." She smiled as she pulled her wand out of her pocket. With a mere flick of her wrist, her whole closet was in the middle of Lily's bedroom, well only the dress, skirts, and shirts, and of course her make-up.
"Yeah, that's fine. I'm supposed to meet up with some friends at The Broomstick in about fifteen minutes anyway. Have fun." she walked out of the and into the living room, where her black, fur trimmed cloak lay on the couch. She pulled it on and walked out into the cold air, before deciding just to apperate into the bar.
It was full of people but, she found her friends from work almost instantly. Mostly because, Jane, Anna, and Shelley were sitting at a booth in the corner waiting for Lily to make her apperance.
"So are you ready for your big debut?" asked Anna who was sipping a foamy liquid.
"As ready as I'll ever be." Lily sat down next to Shelley and pulled a glass of water toward her. She didn't realize that James and Bellatrix walked into the bar and sat down.
Twenty minutes later, a man carrying a clip board came around asking who was going to sing tonight. Lily signed her name at the bottom of the list and slowly waited for her turn.
"Ms. Lilian Evens is up next, Lilian will you please come to the stage." The man shouted over the crowded room so everyone could hear. The bar cheered as Lily made her way up to the stage. The spot lights were on her, the music began to play and she started to sing.
Pack up I'm straight Enough oh, say, say, say oh, say, say, say oh, say, say, say oh, say, say, say oh, say, say, say Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Ma-a-a-aps, wait!
They don't love you like I love you Made off Don't stray My kind's your kind I'll stay the same Pack up Don't stray oh, say, say, say oh, say, say, say Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Ma-a-a-aps, wait!
They don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Wait, they don't love you like I love you Lily finished the song and looked out into the cheering crowd. It was then she spotted James, sitting with the girl from a few weeks back. She blushed and walked back to her seat. She didn't mean for the song to come out the way it did. Making it sound like everyone else wasn't good enough for James.
The cheering kept going. "Bravo." and "Encore." were just of a few things Lily heard from her table with Jane, Anna, and Shelley. They each congratulated her before the man with the clip board shouted over the crowd again, this time with some difficulty.
"Lilian, would you please come sing another song?" he looked very intent on hearing more of Lily's silky voice himself. She obliged and walked back up to the stage. The music sounded again and Lily captivated the audience again.
I hear the clock it's six A.M.
I feel so far from where I've been I've got my eggs and my pancakes too I've got maple syrup everything but you I break the yolks and make a smiley face I kind of like it in my brand new place I wipe the spots above the mirror don't leave the keys in the door I never put wet towels on the floor anymore cause Dreams last for so long even after your gone I know you love me and soon you will see you were meant for me and I was meant for you I go about my bus'ness I'm doing fine besides what would I say if I had you on the line same old story not much to say Hearts are broken every day I brush my teeth put the cap back on I know you hate it when I leave the lights on I pick a book up then I turn the sheets down I take a deep breath and a good look around Put on my P.J.'s And fall into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I tell myself it'll be aright I shouldn't think anymore tonight cause Dreams last for so long even after you're gone I know you love me and soon you will see you were meant for me and I was meant for you Yeah, you were meant for me and I was meant for you Hearts are broken everyday Lily walked off the stage back to the table. She sat down as if she hadn't just sang a beautiful song to a packed house. The rest of the night went fairly well.
When Lily got back to the house that night, she was very tired. She pulled on her pajamas and crawled into bed. She fell asleep instantly.n
