Dawn crept up on the seventh year girl, waking her up. She was Lily Evans, Head Girl, Gryffindor prefect, and the perfect example to all of the younger students. Well, that is, usually. Right now she didn't feel like an example to anyone, much less a younger generation of Hogwarts students. With a groan, she got up, looked in the mirror and saw a red, teary-eyed face with bright red hair, and brilliant green eyes. She looked as bad as she felt, and the worst part was, she deserved it.
Why don't I like the girl see
The one who's standing right in front of me
Why don't I think before I speak
I should've listened to that voice inside me
::-::Flashback::-::
"James Potter! How could you lie to me?! I hate you!"
::-::End Flashback::-::
I must be stupid
Must be crazy
Must be outta my mind
To say the kinda things I said last night
She looked in the mirror, and sobbed again. She remembered last time she was crying and how James still thought she was beautiful even then. Now he would never think that again, and it was all her fault.
Mirror mirror
Hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror
I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
::-::Flashback::-::
She stormed up the stairs, leaving a heartbroken James behind. When she got to her room, she sat down in shock, wondering what the hell she had just done. She made to go downstairs, but something stopped her and she just sat down and cried.
::-::End Flashback::-::
Why did I let you walk away
When all I had to do was say I'm sorry
I let my pride get in the way
And in the heat of the moment I was to blame
She looked outside at the harsh November sun, still rising, and showing that it was going to be a beautiful day. 'Just great' she thought. 'That's just what I want, a perfect day when I'm feeling lousy.'
I must be stupid
Must be crazy
Must be outta my mind
Now in the cold light of the day, I realize
She looked in the mirror, and was surprised, but kept singing.
Mirror mirror
Hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror
I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
She silently wished that James would forgive her, before continuing with the song.
If only wishes could be dreams and all my dreams could come true
There would be two of us, standing here in front of you
If you could show me
That someone, that I used to be
Bring back my baby
My baby to me
She stared in the mirror at the reflection of the person in her doorway.
Mirror mirror
Hanging on the wall
You don't have to tell me
Who's the biggest fool of all
Mirror mirror
I wish you could lie to me
And bring my baby back
Bring my baby back to me
She held the last note and let it fade. "Why were you listening to me, James?" Lily asked.
James was startled, he hadn't even realized that Lily had known he was here.
"I mean, I said all of those horrible things to you last night. I wouldn't have expected you to want to be near me at all, after that. I know I wouldn't have wanted to be near someone if they had said that to me. So, why?" At this, Lily sighed and turned to face him, grief and sorrow etched on her tearstained face. "I'm really sorry, I truly am. And I understand if you never want to speak to me again. I said some really horrible things to you last night, things I didn't mean. After last night you probably hate me, but I just want you to know how truly sorry I-"
She was cut off as James took two long strides across the room and kissed her on lightly on the lips. "There is no way in the world I could ever hate you, Lily. It's plastered all over your face how sorry you are, and that's all that matters. Did you really think that after six and a half years of chasing you and finally getting you, I was going to give up because of one fight? You're not going to get rid of me that easily."
