Chapter 7: just a joke
Lily woke up feeling more tired then ever. Arabella woke her up. She stumbled out of bed and went to the bathroom. Lily enjoyed the warm water flowing around her body. She needed that sort of thing right now. She dried herself with a fluffy towel. She used the drying charm on her hair. She collected her books from all around the room. She called Arabella who was in the bathroom brushing her teeth. Then both of them set off to the Great Hall for breakfast.
They sat at their usual place at the Gryffindor table. They took a look around for Ela but couldn't find her anywhere.
"Hey Lils look the weird Ravenclaw is flirting with Sirius" Arabella's voice was full of disgust.
"Is it Alicia again?"
"Yeah." Arabella looked away. "Anyway I am over Sirius now!" She announced
"Is that so?" Came a voice from behind the girls. Both of them turned to see who it was.
"God you scared me Ela"
"Us" Arabella cut in. Ela just laughed.
"You know that Ally is really nice. She is also pretty funny for a Ravenclaw"
"So anyways who is it now dear Arabella?" Lily asked looking at Ara with a disbelieving look.
"Who do you think?" She wanted them guess.
"Amos Diggory" Ela joked. All of them laughed merrily. People started standing up and walking off to classes. Arabella checked her watch. They had five more minutes for the lessons to begin.
"We better get going ladies" Arabella said and the same time she was standing up from her sit. Then Lily and Ela stood up. They headed off to classes. Their first lesson was the History of Magic. Lily was planning to catch up on some sleep in there. They walked into the class. Every one seemed to drift off instantly. Lily followed the mood. Suddenly something hit Arabella at the back of her head. She turned around. Lily and Ela were fast asleep like most of the class. She turned her head back and saw James Potter grinning at her and pointing to the piece of parchment that was thrown onto her head. She opened it up. It was a note.
Did Lily find a date yet? J.P.
Arabella started wondering. A date for what? The Hogsmeade weekend? She was supposed to come with them. She wrote back to James.
A date for what? Ara
For the bet. Did she tell you about it? J.P.
No. She didn't tell me about a bet. Are you just making fun of me? Ara
Me! A joke of you?! Never. Well we have a bet. A stupid one in fact. J.P.
Let's talk after class ok? Lily is waking up. Ara
Ok. Eight the library J.P.
You know where the library is?! Wow Ara
Ha Ha Ha I am not that stupid you know J.P.
But he didn't get a reply because Lily started talking to Arabella.
"Hey Lils you want to go to the library after classes to study for the N. E. T. W. s?" Arabella whispered to Lily.
"Sorry I can't" Lily seemed really sorry
"Why"
"I. I got to met McGonagall" She lied quickly. She didn't really want to tell Arabella about the visit that the boys paid her yesterday. Well today. It was after midnight after all. Arabella knew that Lily was lying but did not want to press that too hard. She will probably get it off James anyway.
"Ohh ok"
"And today's homework will be five feet essay on the troll rebels in 15th centaury." Mr. Binns (AN: he was alive then ok) carried on in the same old boring voice. He picked up his books and went out. People all around the class started waking up. James went pass the girls and winked to Arabella. She blushed as Lily shook her head. Arabella was not really used to boys flirting with her all the time. They woke Ela up. Lily went to the Arthmacy class and Ela and Ara went to Divination. They said bye to each other and promised to meet at lunch.
The whole day just seemed to fly right by them, the next thing they know they are on their way into the Great Hall. Lily had two hour to the detention and she also had to catch a date for the Hogsmeade weekend. There were a few people boys she wanted to ask. First was Daniel but then she thought of him more as friend so it was more like a security barrier. Then was Thomas he was in her Arthmacy class. He seemed very nice. He played Quidditch on Ravenclaw team. Then the last one was Martin. Martin was very handsome guy who she didn't really know. She decided she will ask Thomas first. He was just what she needed to get James jealous and angry.
"Ela what do you think of Thomas?"
"Which Thomas? The Gryffindor or the cute guy in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?"
"The second Thomas"
"Great. Do you want to ask him out or something?"
"I was thinking of the Hogsmeade weekend"
"Go for it"
"You sure?"
"Yeah I am sure" Ela seemed very confident.
"What do you think?" Lily asked Arabella
"You want to be serious with him?" Arabella knew that Lily liked James.
"Maybe"
"I would," She thought for a minute. The girls waited patiently for an answer. "Go for it!" She said. The girls were happy. Although this was not what she wanted to say. She likes James as friends of course and it was kind of sad for her. This guy had done everything for Lily and she just throws it all away.
"Her he goes" Ela half said half giggles it out.
"Should I?" Ela didn't say anything she just pushed Lily in a bit.
"Fine. I'm going" lily couldn't keep that smile of her face.
"Hey Thomas" She waved for him to come down to the girls.
"Hi" His voice was low and rough.
"Hi" Lily answered "I was wondering if you are doing anything for this Hogsmeade weekend?" She fired straight forward. He seemed shocked for a minute. Then he came to his senses.
"No but if you are not doing anything you might be quite busy" He said teasing smile played on his lips.
"Are you asking me out Thomas?"
"Yeah I think I am." He answered. He seemed to be very confident about this.
"Are you waiting for an answer?" The girls who were listening to them giggled. He acted as if he didn't even hear that.
"Yes I am and I am getting quite impatient and nervous with every breath you take" he was flirting with her.
"Should I make him a bit more nervous girls?" she asked the girls not breaking the eyes contacts she just stare with Thomas.
"I would end his misery now Lils" Arabella answered truthfully
"No give him a moment let him suffer a bit" She giggled.
"My answer," Lily paused for a minute to take a breath "Is yes"
"Great I will meet you on Saturday at ten in the Great Hall then?"
"Yeah, do you want to eat with us?" Lily asked her voice was dripping with sweetness. It made Arabella sick.
"Sure Lils" Thomas took a seat between Lily and Arabella of which she wasn't really pleased. When they finished their meal Lily stood up and said bye to everyone. She had her detention now and she didn't really want to get late.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James, Jay, Jamie what ever you call that guy```````````````````````````````````
James entered the Great hall few seconds before Lily did. His anger rose in him the minute he saw lily talking to a boy. It fell over the edge when they were flirting. Sirius had to stop him from going there and beating the guy up. He wasn't sure why but he had a thought that Lily was doing it to get him jealous. He knew it was stupid. Why on earth would Lily like to make him jealous? First she would have to like him. She made sure he knew that she didn't like him. She hated him. And he loved her for it. Now he was much angrier with himself for letting this happen. He still wanted to beat Thomas up. Remus talked to him about leaving Lily's private life alone. James wasn't really listening to him. How could it be her private life if she shears it with the whole school? He looked at his watch. He had to go. He had to go for his detention. He saw her leaving. He counted to twenty. He really didn't want to deal with her now. And if he wasn't so stupid this would have never happen. She might have still hated him but she wouldn't flirt with Thomas. Or would she? Maybe she really liked him? Maybe he just started it? It would probably start someday. And with those thoughts he went down to the Fitch's office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Lily, Lils, Lily flower ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Lily was walking to Mr. Fitch's office.
"Here you are you will be cleaning the trophy room" He said to her. James and Sirius still weren't there. She went to the trophy room to find James and Sirius already there.
"Why Hello Lily nice of you to join us" Sirius greeted her. James looked pissed and was unusually quiet. No kissed or hugs. Nothing. It shocked her a great deal. They began working. Their job was the most boring work you could find. And they couldn't even use magic.
"I saw you being cozy with that Peterson guy" Sirius announced referring to Thomas.
"His name is Thomas you know"
"Oh really did you know he is in the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?
"Yes I do know that but I am sure that you know that I wouldn't ever support Ravenclaw in Quidditch even if our team is so ." She made a swishy movement with her hands.
"What's wrong with our team?" James spoke up for the very first time.
"Nothing is wrong with the team. it is more the people in the team"
"So what's wrong with them" James was getting angry and annoyed. Sirius shoot him a warning look. It won't be good if he lost his temper now.
"It is just that they are not so .presentable"
"Oh is that so" James was far more then just irritated right now.
"Are you saying I am not hansom enough to be in the team?" Sirius joked. He was trying to ease the tension between the pair. Lily laughed but James stayed hard as stone.
"It is not the looks but the skills that matter" James hissed.
"Oahh James chill. It was just a joke." Sirius said. He was surprised at James seriousness.
"Was it a joke like the one with Lily and the Peterson slut flirting with each other?" James snapped. Lily was speechless. But at least I got him to be jealous. She thought.
"Maybe it wasn't a joke James" She said quietly. She wasn't sure why she was saying it. She just felt like it needed to be said.
"Lily! Why do you hate me?" He asked. He was hopeless. When she said those words he knew they were true. But why? Was he too annoying to her? Probably yes. Maybe if they could start all over it would be different. It had to be. Sirius stayed quiet. He decided it was better to stay out of this conversation. James was waiting patiently. Lily put her head down in guilt.
"I don't hate you James, I never did"
"But then why did you kept saying that over and over again to me."
"Because," it was hard to say it out. "I hate myself for not hating you James. I wanted to hate you with everything I had. I figured out that if I kept saying that to myself then I would believe in that. I wanted to tell myself that you're just another arrogant guy with an ago bigger than his whole body and that you didn't matter to me. I failed. I had fallen for you harder then I ever thought I could fall for anyone" She stopped. Then she blushed and stormed out just realizing what she had said. James went after her. Sirius just stayed there thunder struck.
"Lily" James called after her but she kept on running. Her tears blinded her so much she couldn't see where she was going. He caught up to her in no time. He grabbed her arm and turned her around gently to face him.
"Lily" He said. He didn't know what to say. He was so happy he felt like he was going to burst but seeing Lily cry as not on his list of favorite things to do. He hugged her. He could fell her tears falling down his neck soaking onto his robed.
"It's ok" She didn't say anything. The she straighten up and left from James' strong and safe arms. Looked him. Her beautiful eyes were full of yet uncried tears waiting to flow down her pale cheeks. She looked at him hopelessly and took a run. James was so shocked by what happened he didn't even react. It was minutes later that he snapped out of it and run straight to the prefects rooms.
"Quidditch" He shouted even before he could see the tapestry. He shouted again.
"Quidditch" It finally sprang open. He took a close look around. Then summoned his broom from his room and fled to Lily's door.
"Lily open up." No answer
"Lily please" still there was no answer.
"Open up I know you are in there" His voice was soft nearly a whisper. The door cracked and slowly opened. To his shock Ela was standing there.
"Listen James it is very sweet of you to come down here but right now Lily doesn't want to talk to anyone, sorry"
"But ." He couldn't find any words
"James please leave her alone for now"
"But just tell her that"
"Yeah" He could hear some hope rising in her voice.
"Tell her that I love her ok?" His voice was now a whisper.
"Sure James I will tell her that" She looked sad but she made him a small wink before going off.
AN: Hullo I guess I will just end it here. I checked it about three times on Microsoft word spell check so there should be no problem in that. I hope everyone is well and alright. Wish me luck because on the next Monday there will be an audition for the school play. I so want to get in there. Well I will keep my thumps you. See you people. R&R please.
M*andy, luvin yah - Thanks again. You have been a great help.
