61 reviews!!!! Yea!!!! The author is now very happy!!! Yeah, I know, the
shoe thing was kind of gross, but I thought it'd be funny. Anyways, thank
you everybody. Oh yeah, and I decided to change the plot COMPLETELY from
the book. Lily never gets back together with James and instead runs off
with Lucius Malfoy (sorry if I spelled his name wrong)! Now it all belongs
to me! No more disclaimers! *laughs evilly* No . . . that won't work. Guess
the plot ends the same as the book and it all belongs to J.K. Rowling . . .

"Lily, stop!" James yelled while trying to track down Lily.
Lily ignored him and started going up the steps.
"God, Lily, just stop for a moment!" James said, finally catching up to her. Lily stopped suddenly on the stairs, causing James to run into her and knock her books and quills out of her bag.
"Great, thanks a lot Potter. Now I'm going to be late for Charms." Lily grumbled angrily.
"Then let me help." James pleaded.
"No, I don't need any of your help anymore Jam-Potter."
"Please Lily, just listen to me-"
"I've tried that, and look where it got me. You know how Sirius bellowed his lungs out that morning? Well girls today have been asking me every chance they get what it was like, and to explain how it all happened and all that. I've tried explaining to them, and some people even started to stretch the truth and made it sound like I raped you or something. And gee, I wonder what the poor victim has been saying to get them to believe that!" Lily picked her bag up and went on her way.
James was hurt, and he was angry. Did Lily think that she was the only one that was being teased and tormented with these questions? James had been getting those too, and he had told the truth. Except, the only problem was, it wasn't exciting or juicy enough, so they MADE it juicy gossip and rumor.
"Lily, you're making a mistake." James told her turned back. "You're not the only one in humiliation, you know. I tried that night, but Sirius is so loud-"
"I don't want to hear it Potter."
"I love you Lily."
Silence. Lily stopped in her tracks, and James had a bubble of hope in his mind, for he meant those words. "You don't mean it."
The bubble burst.
"You can't mean it. We're sixteen, Potter. We can't fall in love. It's too early. Good-bye, James. It was fun while it lasted." Lily said, and then she walked off.
James just stood there, absolutely shocked and his heart filled with pain. How can this be the end?
But what James didn't know was that as Lily said those words, she shuddered, and silent tears rolled down her face.
* * *
For the rest of the year it was like that. Lily didn't know how she avoided James so much; she thought he would trail after her like he used to, but she was relieved to find that he didn't. But a part of her broke apart. Not following her like a puppy meant that he lost hope, that he wouldn't bother trying again. He had told her he loved her, but could he mean it? But the real question was: did Lily love him?
* * *
James knew it was over. He had probably lost Lily forever, and all because of a stupid rumor. He thought Lily was stronger than that. But then, maybe it was just an excuse: an easy way out because she was still afraid of going out with him. Well, she's managed to avoid him long enough: it was May, and the school year was almost over. And his love for Lily was still intact, no matter how many rough beatings it's been through.
Well, the full moon was almost here, so maybe a little fun with his best buds would cheer him up.
"C'mon, we've got to hurry! We're late already; Remus is going to wonder what happened to us!"
"OUCH! Peter, that was my foot!"
"Sorry-OW! James that was my BUTT!"
"Sorry, but I had to do something to keep you quiet!"
"Shut up you guys, someone will hear!"
"We'll be good!"
"Wormtail, go hit the knot."
Peter transformed into a rat and scurried into the tree like he usually did. He touched the knot, causing the tree to freeze.
Then Sirius and James transformed into a dog and a stag. They ran in and saw the werewolf-Remus-chewing on the leg of an old rocking chair. Sirius barked at him to get his attention. Remus looked up and kind of cocked his head to one side. It would look cute if he wasn't showing off his big pointy teeth.
Tonight was maybe the most fun James had had in a while. This is because they discovered a new entrance-the one behind a mirror. Unfortunally, it was caved in. But they did see a pair of bright yellow eyes behind a crack . . . and covered that crack up since the creature growled murderously at them.
They were able to sneak back into the Gryffindor Common Room, and cheerfully went to sleep.

"And the winner of the House Cup is . . . Gryffindor House with a total of 4325 points!" Dumbledore announced, raising his goblet in the direction of the Gryffindor Table.
The whole table erupted in a roar of applause. James and Sirius were among the louder ones. Lily clapped loudly with a large smile on her beaming face.

James was on the train back home with his friends with him. They joked as usual, had fun as usual, made fun of Malfoy and Snape as usual, but James's heart was not into it. A piece of it was filled by Lily, and then it was shattered by her as well. And a half a year's time was not enough to heal from that kind of damage. All James could hope was that his heart would someday heal, or his love would come back to him someday.

That was a shorter chapter than usual, but I'm trying to type fast. Well if anyone wants to, they can e-mail me at j_j_s10@yahoo.com if you want. Well, please review.
