Chapter 2: I Love Lilies
.gulp. I wish I could just drown in my bath tub right now. But no... I have to look beautiful when I die... with clothes on... so that way, some other person won't choose my death dress for me! I'm thinking I'll choose a white dress to match my name... Lily. Or maybe I'll choose a green dress. It'll go with my eyes... Bah! Who cares! No one will even come to my funeral anyways... Maybe some people but I highly doubt over 6 people. Its quidditch season so duh... Oh the memories of quidditch.... damn it.
The days have pasted and weeks were passing by and the quidditch match for Slytherin verses Gryffindor was arriving. And James were reminding me twice a day now of the date of the quidditch match. And today he reminded me that it was only two days away! Oh how time flew by! I was ignoring Potter with the entire countdown and today he got my attention! Only two days left! My last days of non-humiliation days. After people see me and Potter together, in public, the whole school will gang up on me and hit me with comments. And not good comments mind you. I shouldn't really worry though. This year the Slytherins got the best team Hogwarts ever seen! Well except for the beaters, they're a bit slow but any who their chasers are all super fast! Well it might be because of their new brooms, Vesters 001. It's the fastest broom today but maybe the Slytherin's team is so good because of the Keeper. I don't know but there's no chance that Gryffindor will win this year. Don't get me wrong or anything but it's really hard cheering for my own house when if won, my life would be over!!
It was the morning of the quidditch match and Lily, well let's say she was driving the nuts of everyone.
'Lily!! Would you calm down!! I'm sure Gryffindor will win!' yelled Sarah.
But that wasn't what Lily wanted to hear. She wanted Gryffindor to feel... well she didn't know what, but she was going mad.
At the arena Lily was rocking herself back and forth.
Stop doing this! This madness! Oh one date with Potter won't hurt... I hope... Anyways what makes you think that Gryffindor will win! Lily Evans I command myself to take control right this instant! It's not the end of the world even if Gryffindor wins! Take deep breaths... That's right...
20 minutes later...
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I.. I... I can't believe it. James Potter caught the snitch in record time.
Shocked Lily slowly moved towards the exit, not cheering with the rest of the Gryffindor.
'Lily!! Wait!!' said a voice far away.
Turning to see who was speaking to her Lily saw James on a broom flying towards her.
'Gryffindor won! Isn't that great?!' grinned James
'Yeah...' said Lily stunned
'So are we going to Hogsmeade this week?'
'This week?' asked Lily, dazed.
'Yeah., there's a trip this week, Sunday actually.'
'I'll... I'll... think about it.' with that Lily took off.
In her dorm room Lily still couldn't believe it. Potter actually caught the snitch! Potter... snitch... winning.... date. The word date took such shock at Lily, but surprisingly it wasn't such a big shock... Lily Evans! You are Lily Evan going on a date, one date with James Potter. This time it didn't shock her thinking these words. I mean one date! How bad could it be! And also this whole annoying Potter thing asking me out every single day will finally end! This is... This is brilliant! And to a bonus the rumors will quickly end since school will be almost over! I can survive one month of rumors about me... Lily Evans you are just brilliant!
It was the day for the trip to Hogsmeades. Late dates were arranged and friends all got ready to go. Lily had already confirmed to James that she'll meet him at the Three Broomsticks three o'clock sharp. Now she was in her room putting on a green t-shirt with jeans. No need to dress so special, just a date with Potter.
Soon Lily and her friends were just shopping around buying this and that until finally each friend was exhausted from shopping.
'What shall we do now?' asked Hannah, sitting down on a bench.
'I don't know... What is there to do now? And it's only 3:30.' said Sarah.
'What?!' jumped Lily. Realizing she was late she took off without a word.
At the Three Broomstick everyone was having a good time when the door burst open with a Bang! Scanning the area Lily found the table with a messy black hair boy sipping a butterbeer.
Running to the table Lily stopped and without a second wasted Lily burst with apologies.
'I'm so sorry! It was rude of me to be late! I lost track of time when I was shopping with my friends. Sorry sorry...' said Lily not even stopping for a breath.
'Lily, it's ok.' said James, grinning.
That's it?! I thought he'd get mad at me! And what the heck is wrong with me? It was like I was apologizing for the worst crime ever!
'Uhhh thanks.' said Lily sitting down.
'Want anything to drink?' asked James.
'Uhhh lemon tea would be nice.'
'Sure.' said James calling over a waitress.
'So what do you want to do today?' asked James.
'I don't know...' said Lily, this was very awkward for Lily alright. I wonder how James is feeling about this now... Wait! Did I just call Potter, James? That's new... I mean I always called Potter Potter. But actually James sound nice... I mean I known him for 7 years now so why not call him James? Ughhh all this heavy thinking over a name!
'Evans?' asked James causing her to look up. 'You seem to be out of it...'
'I'm sorry just thinking about something important.' said Lily. He calls me Evans.
'About what?'
'Ohh well it's not that important or anything, but I was thinking of our names...'
'Our names?' said James confused.
'Yes, like why we're using our last name even though we known each other over 7 years now.'
Laughing James said 'Remus was right... You really are different!'
'Different? I'm... different?' asked Lily, not knowing if she should be hurt or take that as a compliment. 'How am I different? And from whom?'
'You're different from other girls. That's what I like about you Lils, not only are you interesting to talk to, but your also... well I don't know how to put this. I only can say you're different in a good way.' said James grinning.
'I see...' smiled Lily. Not only did James call her Lils, but he said I was different! Wait! Stop right there Lily Evans! Are you enjoying your date with him?!
'So how are classes?' asked James trying to start up the conversation again.
'The classes are fine; it's the NEWTS I'm worried about.'
'You? Worried about NEWTS?' laughed James.
'What? What's so funny?' asked Lily curiously.
'You Lily. I mean your top in the class and you're worried about NEWTS? Think about how the rest of us feel!'
Lily understanding now laughed along with James. 'Oh oh oh, I wonder how Ned Taskin will do on NEWTS!'
Ned Taskin was worst wizard you'd ever seen! He even got held back last year! And this year he didn't really quite improve. Chances were he would be held back again.
They continued talking about little things, but finding a lot more about each other. Like they both liked the Scrolls the Band and they both hated the chocolate, Swishers. It tasted like dust...
Soon after they were walking down the streets of Hogsmeade and James actually went into a bookstore with Lily. James never went into a bookstore for any reason except today. He was going in because Lily was going in.
After browsing some books they went into a pet shop and saw some real dragon eggs that they were transporting to. At the music store they got autographs signed by The Hex Girls. They were a good band too. Soon after that it was time to go back to Hogwarts.
'Well James, I can't believe this but I really had a good time today.' said Lily walking to the carriages.
'Me too Lils. This was exactly how I imagined it to be on our first date. Except for the snogging part...'
'James!' laughed Lily giving a light slap on his arm.
'Kidding!' said James laughing along. 'Oh wait Lily!' said James running off.
Lily just stood there for a couple of minutes until finally James came back.
'Here you go.' said James handing Lily something. It was a flower, a lily.
'I know it's a bit corny... Giving Lily a lily.'
Shocked Lily didn't say anything. She was touched...
'I wanted you to remember our first date with something so I put a forever lasting spell on that flower. And did you see the message at the bottom?'
Stunned by the flower Lily didn't know a white ribbon tied at the bottom of the flower. On the ribbon it had a message written by a green ink.
I Love You, xo James
Lily looked up, but saw James had vanished.
