Toying with Potter
Chapter 5: Asking…again
A/N: Sorry it's taken me so long to get this up. Enjoy now, I'll talk more later.
Disclaimer: Must we go over this again?
Lily woke up the next morning feeling disgusted with herself. It hurt her that she actually had fun with James. That wasn't how the plan was supposed to work. She hadn't counted on James changing. What happened to the annoying, arrogant git she hated for the past six years?
Her thoughts wandered to the kiss they had shared the night before and she groaned. She had hoped she hadn't shown how much the kiss affected her. She would have collapsed had James not been holding her up. She felt lightheaded and weak. She never shared a kiss like that before. What's wrong with me? she thought.
"Get a hold of yourself Lily!" she told herself. "You still hate him. One night doesn't change a thing. Remember the humiliation you suffered last year?" Lily felt a sudden surge of anger and embarrassment.
Flashback
It was right after the annual Hogwarts Christmas ball that Lily found herself in the Common room waiting for the Gryffindor after-party to finish. As a Prefect she had to make sure that nothing was destroyed and no one was hurt. There was food and drinks of course, and the drinks were spiked courtesy of the Marauders. Lily hadn't realized this and was tiredly drinking her 3rd glass. A few minutes later she had passed into the realm of sleep right on the couch.
"What's this? A Prefect caught off her guard?" The Marauders turned to find James gazing at Lily. "I've got an idea." He picked her up and carried her to their dormitory.
Once inside James laid her on his bed and removed all her articles of clothing leaving her lacy black bra and panties. He scattered her other clothing all around the room and pulled the blankets up over her shoulders. He then closed the hangings surrounding his bed. Peter was the first to speak.
"It looks as if she was about to have sex, but was too tired to carry on!"
"That's the idea," James replied.
"James," Remus said, "are you sure this is a good idea. I mean, it is a pretty mean trick."
"Stop being a party-pooper Moony!" Sirius exclaimed. "I think it's a brilliant idea! It will totally get her back on that prank she played on us last week."
"Whatever,"Remus said and they all headed off to bed. (A/N: What you must understand and keep in mind is that these boys are drunk, and they're 16 year olds!)
The next morning James awoke to the sounds of someone shrieking. He looked up from the couch he was sleeping on just in time to see Lily begin her rampage.
"What the fuck did you do?" she shrieked. James was disappointed to see that she was fully clothed now.
"Why don't you remember Lily darling? We had sex."
"WE WHAT!" (A/N: You must understand also that Lily is not thinking quite logically. She's hung over and tired and well you know. There are many signs that would tell her that she didn't have sex.)
"We had sex of course," James replied calmly, noticing for the first time that he and Lily were the only ones left in the room.
"YOU BASTARD!" she screamed, slapping him hard. James continued to grin and decided to toy with her mind.
"Yeah, we made love like it's only seen in nature." He started to laugh at her astonished face but found to his surprise that she had flung herself onto him and started strangling him. He could have pushed her off easily if he hadn't been laughing so hard. It was only until Sirius came up to check on James and pulled Lily off of him that he calmed down a bit. Furious tears threatened to spill down Lily's face but she would not let them. She stormed out of the room with an air of dignity surrounding her.
Lily suffered several days of inner humiliation before she finally had sense enough to perform the Virginity Charm. She didn't know why she didn't perform it before, (Because the author wouldn't let her! Haha!) but she was still a virgin. She endured the rest of the year with taunts ringing from her ears, mainly from Sirius and James, and she vowed to get revenge.
End Flashback
Lily found herself fighting back tears as she remembered her own stupidity. She grimly got up and threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I hope he asks me out today, she thought bitterly. That would be perfect. I could finally begin Operation: Break Potter's Heart!
She had no sooner stepped through the portrait hole than James collided right into her. Perfect.
"Sorry Lily," James said a little breathlessly, "I was blinded by your radiant beauty."
"Someone's in a good mood," she muttered as he helped her up.
"But of course. I had a wonderful time with a certain red-haired Head Girl and I trust she had a good time as well."
"You would be correct in thinking that."
"Well then my Lovely Lily, would you do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend?" He said this while conjuring up a white lily and Lily found this quite romantic.
"Yes."
"What?"
Lily laughed. "I said yes. I had a wonderful time and you proved that you aren't all that bad. Besides, I'm sure that you'll keep me entertained for a long time." He beamed at her and took hold of her hand.
"Well then, let's get some food. I'm hungry."
They had barely turned the corner when they ran into Kari and Lauren.
"Lily," Lauren said, "wonder if we could have a word?"
"Ok, see you later James." James pouted but gave her a swift kiss on her cheek and walked away, unable to wipe that silly grin off her face. Lauren and Kari led her away and pulled her into an empty classroom.
"Ok, what's going on Lily?"
"Um…I'm dating James Potter."
"But Lily you don't even like him," Kari said.
"Of course I don't like him, I'm toying with him, and I'm going to love every minute of it!
"But why?" Lauren asked.
"Why? I'll tell you why! Six years of pranks, humiliation and embarrassment has drove me to get revenge. Six years of laughter and taunts and name-calling and I'm going to get revenge. I'm going to make that loser fall in love with me and then I'm going to dump him!" (A/N: I'll give the first reviewer to tell me what movie this is from, besides oceandreamz( haha) a small part in the next chapter. Oh, and leave your real name too.)
A silence fell after Lily's speech and Kari was the first to break it.
"Oh Lily, I'm not going to tell you that what I think you're doing is ok, but just don't get hurt in the process all right." Lauren nodded and the three pulled into a tight hug. This wasn't interrupted until Lily's stomach gave a mighty rumble.
"What was that?"
"Well I haven't eaten yet!" Lily exclaimed, blushing slightly. The three laughed and headed to get some breakfast.
Later that night
"James where are you taking me?"
"You'll see."
James had asked Lily to come with him so that he could show her something. What she did not know and she wondered how long it would take. She still had homework to complete.
Lily wasn't paying attention to exactly what they were doing but she suddenly found herself being ushered into a room with huge red doors. Inside the room was anything and everything someone could possibly want to conduct a Prefect's meeting.
"I told you I know where the perfect place was."
Lily examined that books that filled the shelves and gazed at the comfortable desks assembled in the middle of the room. She turned to James very pleased with him.
"Oh James it's perfect!" she said and flung her arms around him.
"I know. Now, I think I should deserve a reward for my good work," he told her smirking.
She smiled at him and kissed him passionately. He wrapped his hands around her waist and deepened the kiss. Lily felt herself go weak in the knees. His tongue begged her for entrance and then danced with hers. She felt lightheaded and collapsed into him. He steadied her and pulled away.
"Are you ok?" he asked her, concerned.
"Yes, I'm fine," she said, then smirked, "I just like kissing you." He smiled at her and pulled her into another kiss.
