Chapter 4: Got Hurt…Twice

            Lily had left the wedding and gone home. When her parents arrived (Petunia was going to live with Vernon now), she made an excuse to leave the house. What's the point of life? I cannot believe James. How dare he call me…a slut!

            Lily, depressed and miserable, left for Hogwarts. She didn't want to see James again, but Dumbledore had only given her three days off. She needed to resume her work as Head Girl…but James was Head Boy…

            Arriving at Hogwarts, Lily was pleased to see that James was trying just as hard to ignore Lily as she was to ignore him. But it wasn't working. They just ran into each other everywhere. And their friends didn't help. They wanted to know why the two weren't talking.

            Late one night, when Lily was asleep in her Head Girl Dorm, she heard a slight panting sound. Awakening, she saw James at the doorway, glared at him, and tried to fall asleep.

            "No! Lily, please don't sleep yet…I need your help…………………please." James looked sadly at Lily.

            "Drop dead, Potter."

            "Lily…please. I'm begging you…"

            "This better be important, Potter."

            "Lily…I need you to get Sirius and Remus…maybe Peter too."

            "Why?"

            "Lily, please………just do it."

            "No." And Lily got back into bed.

            "Lily…I'm sorry about the other day…when I called you a…you know…"

            "Whatever. I'm sleeping, Potter."

            "Lily…please. Go get Sirius…"

            "Tell me why, and maybe I will."

            James looked unhappily at Lily. Lily stared back.

            "Okay, I'll tell you. You already know about Remus being a werewolf, right?" Lily nodded. She had figured that out in fifth year. "Okay, well, you don't know about us being Animungus. Sirius, Peter, and I can all become Animungus. I got bitten by the werewolf form of Remus…and I'm hurt. Now will ya please go get Sirius and Peter and Remus?"

            Lily almost fainted. "Oh, yes, James! No…wait! Shouldn't I get Dumbledore, or Madam –

            "NO! You can't tell anyone! I just told you because…I trust you…I love you." James whispered these words, and fell unconscious.

            Lily thought she would faint herself, but she ran towards the common room, and hoped there was a way for her to get into the boys dorm and get Sirius. However, Sirius and Remus were already in the Common Room.

            "SIRIUS! REMUS! Oh my gosh…James…he's hurt…you bit him…he's fainted…," Lily choked.

            Running towards the joined Head Girl/Head Boy room, Remus performed some very complicated wand-works, and James awoke. Sirius magically moved James from the floor onto his bed.

            "Gawd, James, why didn't you tell us before you were hurt? Bloody fool…so where does it hurt?"

            "Everywhere…," groaned James. "He bit my leg…my right leg…"

            Remus looked very ashamed. Lily comforted him. Sirius patched James up. Muttering words of thanks, James closed his eyes, and Sirius and Remus left.

            Lily slowly got into her bed, and sighed. She sighed loud. (A/N: I always do that! I love to sigh!) She sighed a little too loud. James twitched, and opened his eyes.

            "James…I love you…"

            "Aw, shut it, Evans, and get some sleep." James smiled at Lily, trudged over to her bed, and sat down on it.

            "Oh, James, what are you doing?"

            "What am I doing? Iono…some girl."

            Lily giggled. He's so adorable! Look at those eyes…they're so deep…you can get lost in them…he's cute, yet handsome…childish, yet so mature. I love this man.

            James smiled at Lily. She's so cute! I love her dimples…they're like dimples in cream. And her hair…I love her hair…I love her…

            They talked. All night. Lily loved the silly, flippant comments James made, and James loved seeing Lily laugh at his jokes.

**Next Day**

            James and Lily's happiness was to be short lived. At breakfast, Katie had been staring at James and Lily. How she despised that Lily Evans. I hate her…she's fat,…what does my James see in her? I'll make her suffer…

            Katie had a plan that she shared with her friend—more like her lackey—Wendy. Katie would write a fake love note to James, and she would make sure Lily was the only one who saw it.  This is what it said:

            To my Dearest, Beloved James,

                        That date we had was so much fun. I especially enjoyed the snogging part ;)…let's have another date tonight. You told me so much about that complete slut, Lily Evans…tell me more about her. I'm glad you broke up with her. No one likes her. Sirius told me that she cries all the time about you…she's so controlling! Well, let's snog tonight. I'll meet you in the Astronomy Tower at midnight.

                                    Love,

                                                Your Girlfriend,

                                                            Katie ;)

            Katie had put this on the Head Girl Chair. Luckily, James didn't see it. Unfortunately, Emma, Elizabeth, Vanessa, and Samantha saw it when they were waiting for Lily.

            "What do we do?"

            "We can't show Lily, she'll be heartbroken!"

            "I know, but she MUST know…she's flirting with James RIGHT now!"

            Lily walked in. Her friends showed her the letter. In tears, Lily ran out the dorm before anyone could say anything, so her friends raced after her. But, they didn't know the password to the Head Girl/Head Boy room…so Lily was in there alone. She would be late for class…they had potions first thing. Professor Armadillo would love to take points away from Gryffindor.

            Cluelessly, James went inside the dorm, in which Lily was sobbing uncontrollably.

            'Err…Lils?"

            "I don't wanna hear it, you bastard! Read this, and then look me in the eye and tell me that you're happy now!"

            James read the fake not in silence. Lily eyed him angrily.

            I cannot believe him! …I thought he changed. I really did.

            "Lily…I don't know why Katie wrote me this…I never went out with her."

            "James…please don't lie. Don't you think you've hurt me enough?"

            "I never went out with her, dammit!"

            "Yeah…right. Why would she make that up, then. It's either you lying, or her."

            "Lily! How dare you…are you saying you don't believe me?" James yelled at her angrily.

            "Yes, I was implying that," Lily said, just as fiercely. She was starting to cry again.

            "Lily…please—"

            "No! Leave me the hell alone!"

            "We need to get to class, Lily…"

            Lily ran out the dorm, with a hurt James running after her.

**in class**

            James sat next to Lily. True, Professor Armadillo took 30 points away from Gryffindor because the Head Boy and Girl were late. But James needed to speak to Lily. It was a practical lesson, so James, Lily, Sirius, and Emma were all at the same table, making the same Draught of Peace.

            "Lily. Ask anyone. I never went out with her!"

            "Yes, you did."

            "Okay, I went out with her before we were together; I went out with her a year ago."

            "No."

            "Ask Sirius. Ask anyone."

            "Okay. I'll ask Katie." And Lily walked up to Katie.

            "Hey, Katie!"

            "Hello." Katie smiled evilly.

            "Erm…I heard you and James are going out?"

            "Yep."

            Unfortunately, Wendy, the fool, forgot about the fake note and ruined everything.

            "Huh? Katie? You and James?"

            Katie glared at her.

            "Oh! The fake note you wrote! Oh…woops…" Wendy said sheepishly. (A/N: sheep are cool!)

            Lily wanted to slap them both. Hard. Returning to her table, once again, Lily sighed and broke into tears, onto James shoulder.

            "I'm so sorry James!" Lily sobbed into James's shoulder.

             James' face soon turned to a look of sadness, and he put his arms around Lily. "Shh, Lil, you don't have to be sorry-''

            "Yes I do James!" Lily sobbed into his shirt. "I was a bitch to you…I know why you hate me James!" Lily said, sobbing uncontrollably.

            "I don't hate you, Lily. Why would I hate you?"

            "Because…I've been a bitch. But no one hates you. Everyone loves you James! You're Head Boy, Quidditch Captain, Ringleader of the Marauders, most wanted guy in the whole of Hogwarts. Girls wanna marry to you. Guys are jealous of you. " Lily said, pulling away from James' grip, but James held her back.

            "Lily, you know I'm not all that. I used to think I was, but I was wrong. I was a selfish, stubborn jerk and I've learned to change. But you Lily, you're wonderful. You're smart, popular, funny, caring, and beautiful."

            "No, I'm not."

            "Ten more points deducted from Gryffindor. As interesting as your lives may be, do not discuss it in my class." Professor Armadillo grunted.

            When he was gone, Lily said, "I'm not pretty, James."

            "I didn't say you were. I said you were beautiful. No, wait, you're better than beautiful, you are—"

            "Stop…I'm not."

            "Yes, you are. And I love you very, very much."
