Ice Cream

:: James thinking ::

Who the hell did they think they were? Doubting my charm my flirting and making fun of me no less...Lily. It was the one thing I couldn't get out of my mind ever since she literally fell right on top of me. It was the first trip on the Hogwarts Express. Everyone was new and excited to just jump into the new adventure of school. I was making my way to a compartment to meet these 3 guys I just met on platform 9 ¾ just a little while ago. But all of a sudden I had a handful of girl.

"Ouch! Ooo that hurt. Stupid chest. OOOH! Im sorry. Are you ok? Here just wait Ill help you." A female voice said. The first thing I noticed about her was her jewel like emerald eyes then it was her hair. It was the color of the sunset. All I could do was just stared at her with my jaw dropped.

"Hello. Anyone in there?" the girl waved her hand in front of me.

"Ahh sorry just got the wind knocked out of me." And it just wasn't from having someone fall on me. She reached out her hand to help me up and I took it

"Oooohhh. Im so so sorry. My chest, I guess I needed more help with getting it put away. My name is Lily. Lily Evans. Im a first year here and" I don't remember how much longer she talked to me but in the end I helped her put her chest away and I think I stared at her retreating form for more then 10mins. From then on she, I, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Cassie, and Bella have all been a group. We were all Gryffindor's and together all the time. Know one ever knew my true feelings for Lily. I didn't deserve her. She was to...wonderful and deserved a hellva lot better then me. So I did what any normal guy would do. Push her away. Make fun of her play with her emotions and date any other girl but her to try and forget her. Yeah I know, not a smart move. Considering that I really did want to try and have something real with her this year. I mean you never stop dreaming about a girl. But now look what I got myself into this, stupid bet. But wait, couldn't I full fill my bet and still have something with her. She would never half to know and I was playing on wooing her in the first place this year. Excellent James. You are brilliant. And now to start the hunt. For dear Lily's heart

.

"Ugh. That is an extremely long train ride I'm telling you. Thank god we only have to take it one more time." Bella said

"Yeah, but im still kinda gonna miss it." Replied Cassie.

"Hey girls, I didn't see the guys anywhere on the train? Did you?" asked Lily. Pretending she didn't have a care in the world about it.

"No idea." Said Cassie with a grin towards Bella "Did you Bell?"

"Nope. And I could careless. They always end up scaring away any of our potential boy friends anyway. I'm telling ya its like having my father around. Especially Remus. He like looks at me like I'm the biggest slut. I'm telling you if it is one thing I do this year it is telling him off." Bella replied

Cassie and Lily just looked at each other and hid a grin. They both knew Remus had been in love with there best friend ever since they first met. Remus was the nicest guy they knew. And out of all the Marauders knew him the best and loved him the most. He was a guy you could tell anything to and know he would never betray you. But Bella and Remus never had that same connection as Cassie and Lily had with him. Remus asked Bella out once their 3rd year and Cassie and Lily couldn't have been happier for him. But unfortunately Bella broke her date with him to go out with her crush, Ben Johnson instead. He was a beater on the Hufflepuff quidditch team and two years older then them. Remus and Bella had never been the same after that night, and Bella wondered why that was. They continued to put all of there things away then and just decided to go for a walk when all of a sudden there was a knock on the dormitory door. Cassie went to go to answer it, but before she could open it the door flew open and walked in the bain of their existence the Marauders.

"Hello my lovely lovely ladies and how was your summer." Sirius asked as he walked straight over to Cassie and plowed right into her. This was a game they would play all year. A kiss here and there, broken promise, and tears at night.

"Get off of me jerk, we are NOT doing this again. So don't even play around. You don't have a right to touch me anymore." Cassie replied sternly

"Aww come on baby. Ill buy you an ice cream." Sirius said with a smile.

"You can buy me what ever you want but it is not gonna happen." Cassie said with a sassy smile and walked over to James. "So when we startin practice oh captain my captain?"

"Next week. I want to start as soon as possible. The cup is going to be ours again. And were not gonna give anyone a chance on getting it." James said sternly. When it came to quidditch he knew he was good. And would do anything to keep that cup. Nothing ever came between him and his game and they all knew it.

"Sounds good buddy. We've had the cup the last 6yrs. There not gonna take it from us our last year here." Cassie said reassuringly.

"Are you to done talking sports it is so boring. And with talk of ice cream now im hungry so let's go get some." Bella said tossing her hair over her shoulder like a run way model.

"Come on you guys princess here, desires ice cream. And god knows what will happen if we don't deliver." Remus said with a slight sneer

"DON'T call me that." Bella said glaring

"So what do you say Lil do you crave something sweet?" James said with a great grin to her. She could feel the familiar butterflies and tickle down her spine.

"Depends on what the "Sweet" is." She said with raised eyebrows to him. She had never played the flirting games with James Potter. And when ever he tried to with her. She would blow it off. But not this year. This year she was going to go for anything. And try anything and she def wanted to try out James. She was not going to regret her last year here, she was going to make James Potter love her.

"Hey, are we gonna go get ice cream or what I'm starving." Asked Sirius annoyingly after just being shot down from Cassie for the first time. They all mumbled their agreement except Peter.

"You know I'm not very hungry. I think I am just gonna stay back and finish unpacking." He replied

"Ya sure Peter. Do you want something brought back?" Lily asked considerately

"No but thanks, Lil" Peter looked at her with adoring eyes then backed out of the room.

Bella and Cassie then burst out laughing.

"Omg. The poor boy has been in love with you for years. And will always be. If you brought him back ice cream he'd prolly put it in a shrine dedicated to you." Bella said and feel back on the bed still laughing.

"Shut up. Come on lets go eat." Lily said and for the first time grabbed James' hand and dragged him out of the room. The butterflies in Lily's stomach were going crazy but all she could think of was what 'the hell it was the last year and who gave a shit about what other people think.' And apparently the people in the room they just left did care and would continue to think about what happened in that room just then. As Bella and Cassie looked at each other with dropped jaws and looks of shock. Sirius and Remus gave looks of horror and admiration at the same time because James had gotten farther then either one of them have ever gotten with Lily Evans and the day wasn't over yet.

Those stupid guys. They would never know what hit them. Those girls were the nicest people he ever met. And they deserved the best. And he would give them the best of him. But the one he would have and to hold would be lily. True beauty was in Lily. He would keep those guys away from them. They would only ruin them. And he wouldn't have that. But he would need help to destroy the Marauders. And he intended to get it.
