Chapter 15: You don't know what love is..
James sat in the great hall during dinner and was pushing his food around the golden plate. September had come and gone, the leaves soon began to change colors and so did his mood and outlook on things.
October 13th wasn't the best day of his life. Lily Evans had once again, blown up in his face when he locked Snape in the room of requirement. She screamed, yelled, cursed, and even blown a blood vesicle or two when she caught him.
So here sat James Potter next to his friends, who were chatting merrily while he soaked in his own pity..
When he thought about it, he was charming, rich, funny, popular and all around nice guy. He was loved by girls and envied many.
His life was perfect, he had everything anyone could dream of. but she was missing in his long list.
She is everything he wanted, everything he needed. But he couldn't have her, no matter how hard he tried..
Sirius looked up from his plate and soon sensed something wrong with his best friend.
" Spill Prongs."
James sighed," I don't get it, why can't I have her. Why isn't she in my arms right now, during this very second?"
He glanced down the table and spotted her smiling with her friends. His heart began to beat like a drum.
" You're you, that's why."
James looked at his friend," What do you mean 'me'."
Remus sighed next to him," Don't you see, she doesn't like you because of your personality. She's thinks you bigheaded, brainless, nonfactual, aboriginal, git-"
"Okay Moony, we get the idea." Sirius cut in.
" I'm just trying to prove my point."
James sighed," Okay I know all that- but how do I get her to like me?"
" James, we've been through this before: You have done everything you can, James, trust us, you have changed. We've all grown up; we were little morons back in fifth year. Look now, we're in our last and final year at Hogwarts, we have proved Lily wrong: People can change."
" Moony's right Prongs: We have changed, just wait, and before you know it she will come."
" What if she never comes?"
" There will be nothing you can do.."
" You're pathetic James."
James head whipped around and faced Naena his sister," Oh great, you."
" Stop being depressed."
"Why?"
" Besides the fact that my brother, James Devon Potter, never gives up on anything. You shouldn't even be trying- when you have already succeeded."
James eyes perked up," What to you mean?"
" James, think about it. You have been trying all this time, but you never noticed that you really have succeeded."
" So I got to her?"
" More than you see.."
........................
Lily sat in the common room reading her book ' The princess bride' and kept to herself, as the embers crackled and glowed in the blazing fire. She shifted her legs on the couch and stretched them out.
Her long dark hair flowed down her cheek as she blew it away from her eyes, so she could continue reading the book. Pulling the small woven blanket closer around her body the portrait door opened and Coral stepped in with Ashley.
Ashley smiled, walked over to her, and pushed her legs off the couch so she could sit down. Coral plopped on her other side. The two girls both began to grin evilly.
Lily, sensing the mischief in the air, gazed at them." Okay.. what's going on?"
" Oh nothing." They both replied while giggling.
Lily rolled her eyes," Suuure.."
" Liiiiiiily."
Still scanning her book page, she groaned "What?" She asked.
" We know something you don't know." Coral said while grabbing the book out of her hands.
" Give it back- what?"
"-How you really feel about Jamsie-poo."
Lily stopped making grabs for her book and eyed Ashley seriously.
" Who told you?"
" No one- just a little birdie."
" Does that little birdie's names begin with the letter S, and end with irius?"
" Maybe.."
Just at the secretive moment the portrait hole opened again and Sirius with James stepped in. James had a silly grin on his face and Sirius looked quite excited about something.
" Howdy all!" Sirius waved joyfully.
Lily jumped off the couch and pounced on him. She started to pound him with her fists and was quite succeeding at giving him a few bruises.
" Lily- off!"
James was laughing and was trying to tell her to get off his best friend- who was practically screaming like a girl who just lost her doll..
James smiled and wiped away his tears of laughter and decided to pull her off his friend.
His strong arms wrapped around her waist and gently pulled her off- Lily being shocked on how easily she was ripped off the man she was going to kill.
She whipped around and stood there ever so close to him, and moved in a little closer. It wasn't him, or someone pushing them together, but she was naturally sliding closer to him in his grip.
Her bottle-green eyes flashed with emotions as his hazel ones bore into her own. He couldn't believe that she was coming closer to him by the minute, and h wasn't forcing her to do so..
She smiled evilly and let her lips brush against his lip..
. . . . .
" Lily.."
" What?"
" Get up! You're missing dinner!"
Lily shot up and looked around the empty common room. Her book was lying open on a nearby table with a glass of water and Coral was looking at her with laughter twinkling in her eyes.
She shifted her gaze to the fire mantle and read the old grandfather clock, exactly 6' o clock. The old paintings on the walls gave a reddish orange glow from the fire crackling in the middle of the room.
She got to her feet and grabbed the water on the table with ice on it. Coral winked at her.
" Have a nice dream?"

.:~*You don't know what love is, Jessica Simpson
Last night I saw you as I stood in the rain
Brought me right back to that feeling again.
I tried to hide the tears in my eyes
But you didn't see as you walked on by.
Tried to forget ya, I tried to move on.
But the deeper I'm feeling, the harder I fall.
Nothing else matters at all. Let me tell you.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark and takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart.
Sometimes I think back when our love was new.
The crazy things that we used to do.
How could love that's so right turn to something so wrong
Still can't believe that you're really gone.
Wish I could stop all these thoughts in my head
Wish I could take back the words that I said
It's a lesson I'll never forget. Let me tell you.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. Takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Ooh ooh. Yeh.
Love has no season, no beginning nor end.
No rhyme or reason, to the way the story ends.
No way of knowing how a broken heart mends.
Still we keep fallin', time and time again.
You don't know what love is till you lose it.
You don't know what you've got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark. Takes you and tears you apart.
You don't know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart. Ah ooh. Till it breaks your heart.

I'll add more later, and you know what to do to make moi happy. *^^*
