Chapter 3: I'm not in the mood (to say no)!

The dark midnight blue sky twinkled, while the half moon glowed brightly. The ruby red train sped on as students laughed and played games aboard the train. The forest grew thicker outside, as they went on to Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry.

Lily hummed to herself while she added the finishing touches to her masterpiece; James.

"Perfect " She whispered while grinning wickedly at her beautiful work.

"Now try and squirm your way out of this one James Potter. She took her seat next to Remus and Peter who were sleeping.

Remus stretched and closed the book on his lap; he looked over at Lily who was grinning. He followed her gaze and busted into a fit of laugher.

She smiled wickedly and winked at him " You did this?" He asked between gasps.

"Yup" she grinned.

"Your worse than Sirius!" He laughed.

"Now all James needs is an skirt and a skimpy top and WALLA!" She laughed.

"He's going to kill, when he wakes up" He said while wiping away tears of laughter.

Lily smiled sweetly to him, as Sirius rubbed his eyes and sat up with Ashley; who groaned and made herself comfortable again. He looked around the compartment and stopped at James: he had horror upon his face and then screamed which woke up everyone.

" James is a girl!" He laughed while rolling around on the floor.

James gapped as he held a mirror to his face; yes he had everything on! Mascara, lipstick, eye shadow, you name it, it was on his face!

They laughed as James dropped the mirror, which broke, and ran out of the compartment.

" Seven years bad luck, even though you don't need it!" Lily called after him.

"Maybe we should start calling him Jamie." Ash laughed.

James or should I say Jamie returned back with no makeup on his face. Lily smiled at him " Aww.. Jamey, didn't you like your new look?" She teased.

"You did this, didn't you?" He said while pointing to his washed face.

"Who me?" She said pretending to be innocent, while putting her hands on her collarbone.

"Yes, you." He said folding his arms.

"Well my my, whatever gave you the idea I would do something to make you so hideous?" She said while battering her eyes.

The train lurched and the lights went out, and she fell onto Remus lap. " Oh am sorry Remus" she exclaimed. He smiled gently, " It's alright." She smiled back and sat closer to him; just encase she fell again.

"Is everyone alright?" Sirius yelled.

"Keep your voice down you twit." She heard Ash snap.

"Accio wand" Lily said over the bickering couple. Her wand rested in her palm as she grabbed the handle.

"Lumos" She said while the room lit up by the glow.

" Wow Lily, I never new you could summon yet." Remus whispered; which made her blush, while James fumed.

The lights flickered back on and a voice apologized for the accident.

James got angrier as she rested her head on Remus's shoulder; Lily of course seen this and moved closer to Remus, which only made him fum with anger even more.

" We have just arrived at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry, you may now exit the train; and don't worry about your pets and belongings they will be brought to your room shortly. Have a great year." the magical voice boomed in their compartment.

Lily got up and left the compartment with Ashley. She slid open the train door and stepped out into the fresh frosty air. She closed her eyes and inhaled the smell, of wildflowers and cherry blossoms; she smiled. " I'm glad to be back home," she whispered.

"LILY!"

Lily turned around and smiled at her friend running towards her. Coral Kohan, she had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, set with a pair of golden brown eyes that glistened with laughter.

"How has The James been treating you so far?" She said grinning.

" Oh my gawd Coral, your worse than Ash! You know he bugs me into a comma." She said rolling her eyes.

" Besides that how's Remus?" She grinned.

Lily looked at Ashley and Coral as if she would bash their heads together, " Both of you now! BOYS AND FOOD! WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO!?" Lily said while throwing her arms up in frustration.

" I dunno Lily, but boys and food sound pretty good." Ash smirked.

Lily crossed her arms and the two girls laughed, " Boy's and food do sound great." Sirius said while approaching Ashley and hugged her from behind.

"So can we have the honor, of taking thee fair maidens to their dazzling carriage which awaits?" Sirius said in a sweet tone.

" Yes, of course" Ashley grinned as he kissed her hand.

James walked up to Lily while grinning; she looked as if she was about to smack him. " Need a hand?" He asked in his charming voice.

Coral and Ashley gave her pleading looks; Lily sighed and looked back upon the begging James. Lily narrowed her eyes " I guess so, but no funny business Potter." He grinned at her as if Christmas had come early.

" I promise."

James held out his hand while she eyed him for cheats and lies. " I'm not going to bite" He said smiling.

She rolled her eyes "Whatever," and walked past him.

She stopped at a carriage door; which opened magically like it always did, she hopped in and began to wring her hands.

After about 5 minutes, rain started to pour as James got in soaked, closed the door and looked out the window as Lily just stared. 'All alone. With James Potter. Oh no' She thought as she memorized his image.

His hair was a tad soaked and fell down flat, his clothes soaked and you could see his bare chest. A few drops of rain slid down his cheek as Lily watched the devastatingly handsome boy.

He noticed of course, and smiled to himself and kept looking out the window. She shook her head and tried to clear her thoughts; of his smile, his voice, his-

"STOP IT!" she screamed at herself.

James looked at her with an eyebrow raised " Uh, you alright Lily?"

Lily blushed and turned her head away " Yeah, am fine."

He grinned even more at her beautiful blushing image, "Alright then".

She thought as the carriage carried them to the castle. Could he have changed? No he couldn't have, he bugged her on the platform. That's right! But what if he changed over the summer? Maybe, doesn't really show yet, but maybe..

Her thoughts were popped at the carriage, which stopped, and James climbed out and waited for her.

" Coming? Or are you going to sped your life time in there?" He smiled at her playfully.

"Yeah, yeah." She said not looking at him.

She climbed out of the carriage and walked up the stone steps, opened the door as her other friend came running to her down the hall. Her eyes were a greeny-blue and her shoulder length blonde hair twisted and twirled as she came running towards Lily.

"Lily!" She said smiling and hugged her friend.

" Hi Naena" Lily smiled. ( pronounced Nane-ah)

"Well I'll see you later Lily." James said and kissed her cheek.

Nope, he's still the same..

"Damn you James Potter!" She cursed, while waving with not five but one finger, as Neana laughed.

"He never does change, does he?" She grinned.

"No, never will." Lily groaned and rubbed the place where he kissed her.

Lily sat down with Ashley, Coral, and Naena at the Gryffindor table while keeping a distance away from James and his gang. James gave her winks and sexy smiles, while she just glared at him.

Lily and her friends watched the new students get sorted. She smiled and clapped at her new fellow Gryffindor's. For some strange reason James clapped hard when a boy named Weston got sorted into Gryffindor.

"Welcome to another year at our beloved school; Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry. As you all should know by now the forest is forbidden, and let me remind you no spells between classes-" Dumbledore looked at James and his group, and which they bowed and smiled.

Dumbledore smiled too and went on; Lily of course, wasn't really listening and kept her eyes on her brightly shinning golden plate.

She heard a clap and the food appeared around them, she smiled; she really did miss the unique food. She grabbed a plate filled with egg rolls and piled some on her plate while some girls at her table gossiped.

" She's so lucky to have him following her." A girl sighed dreamily.

"Talk about it, and she doesn't seem to care! If he was following me.. My god I can only think of the things we woul-"

"Excuse me!" Lily said spitting out her juice.

"I am not lucky to have some annoying moron following me around." She glanced at James who was smiling and laughing with his friends.

The girls ignored her and kept talking about the sweet James Potter. Lily rolled her eyes and went back to munching her food, moodily. Lily looked around the table " Hey guys? Where are Lindsey and Joel?"

Coral looked up form her plate " I think she's still not done her perfect duty yet-", at that moment a wavy long haired brunette carrying books, walked into the hall and flopped down next to Lily.

"Bad day I see?" Lily said while looking at Lindsey, with her head in her hands moaning.

"Yes, I never knew little firsties years could be so selfish and rotten." She groaned while the girls laughed.

"Yeah, and one boy wouldn't shut up about his brother." Said a boy with sandy dark brown hair and gray eyes: Joel.

"Who's his brother?"

"James."

Lily dropped her fork, "WHAT!? I NEVER KNEW!"

Lindsey lifted her head to show her dark brown sparkling eyes," Well you never did, take time to know him."

Lily never REALLY did take a moment or even a second for that matter, to know the real James Potter. What was she suppose to do? Walk up to enemy and ask about his life, pfft I think not!

Lily shrugged it off and began to eat again; little did she know that James was staring at her with longing in his broken heart.

~.:(*):.~

When everyone was finished their meals Dumbledore clapped his hands and the food disappeared; Sirius yelled at his plateful of food which disappeared in front of his eyes, and

on which made everyone laugh.

"This is a new start to a new year, friendships bloom and love grows. We will be having a winter ball so please wear your dress robes for the occasion. That's all for now have a good sleep and have a great year." The students chatted loudly as they left the hall.

Lily whipped her head around making sure not to see his messy black hair and hazel eyes looking at her. She grabbed her friends and rushed out of the hall. They ran up the stone steps, when the staircase moved and Lily lost her balance. She hung onto the railing while she screamed for help.

Everyone started to scream around her, and some tried to grab her; but it was hopeless. She screamed louder at the staircase, which was coming close to a wall.

Coral and Ashley tried grabbing her before the staircase made it's mind up, when a pair of strong arms grabbed hers and pulled her up as the staircase stopped at another.

She was sweating badly when she opened her eyes, to see a worried James holding her tight.

" You all right Lily?"

Lily looked at him in a different way then before; he had changed..

"Yeah, yeah, am alright" She said while staring into his ever so deep beautiful hazel eyes. A dreamy expression soon washed over her face as she stared longer at him; who didn't seem to mind that and holding her close to his body.

Lily felt a million feels of joy rush throughout her body as he caressed her cheek and leaned in a little closer to her. In her mind only her and James were there.

Lily quickly realized what was happening and jumped back." WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Before she let him answer she stormed up the staircase with her friends following behind her.

He could still smell her peach blossom perfume, which engulfed him in her magic; as she stormed away.

Sirius came up behind him followed by Peter and Remus, "Wow, what was that all about?"

"I don't know, but I like it" He smiled.

The boys went up the stairs and chatted away, they reached the portrait hole ("Moon Witch") and stepped into the warm common room.

Lily sat in her room covered in silky covers and wearing her pj's ( A black tank top with 'Dreams of You' on it and long dark blue baggy pants with moons and clouds moving.)

Her friends were gone to get food from the kitchens, while she stayed behind to make it Not so obvious they were breaking rules.

She couldn't help but think about James, his piercing hazel eyes, and his sweet worried voice when he helped her. She sighed and curled up in her comfy bed,

"I'm not falling for him, I will never fall for him" She mumbled while she drifted into a peaceful sleep: dreaming about a boy who she said she was not falling for..
