A/N: A few people asked me what a Mary Sue is, so I'll tell you- a Mary Sue is basically just the author, only prettier, smarter & she's usually psychic. Plus, she has a weird name & a tragic past. Since Mary Sue fics are the author's fantasies , the Mary Sue usually ends up with the most desirable male character in the story. Fortunately, Morgana isn't a Mary Sue, because I did some research on Google about Mary Sues.
KcluvsMl: What do you mean , I got my stories mixed up?
" What was all that about?" exclaimed Morgana, as she and Lily walked into the common room.
" I don't know what you're talking about" was Lily's cool reply. Lily had been in a bad mood ever since the incident in Transfiguration. Just as she was starting to, well, like James Potter he went and pulled another stupid prank.
"You know perfectly well what I'm talking about. Why are you so mean to James, anyway? He's not a bad as you think he is. In fact…" a reckless daring seized Morgana . "I think you fancy him!"
Lily couldn't believe her ears. How dare Morgana say such a thing! "I can't believe what I'm hearing!" she cried. " How could anyone in their right mind possibly think that I fancy that immature git James Potter?" she stormed out of the common room, fuming.
Lily lay on her bed, gazing at the ceiling. She and Morgana had never had a fight before, but that wasn't what was bothering Lily. She was more worried about the little voice at the back of her head that kept saying, " What if Morgana's right?"
Shut up, she thought, What would I ever see in a prat like him?
"He's smart, popular, talented,-and quite good-looking, too. Everything you've always wanted."
No, he isn't. I could never like someone like him.
" That's funny, I seem to recall you blushing whenever he looks at you, and don't you remember how nice he was to you on your first day?"
Yeah. Right before he hexed that bar of chocolate and I turned into a bat.
Lily's conversation with her brain went in for quite some time before she realized that she didn't like James Potter- she loved him.
Lily stood up, somewhat shaken by this sudden revelation. She looked at the clock on the dormitory wall. 6:45. James' tutoring session! She had completely forgotten.
With a little help from her wand, Lily was ready in no time. She grabbed her books and sprinted down the stairs and out of the common room.
As she approached the library, she started having second thoughts. What if , after seven years of rejection, James had finally taken her advice and found a stupid, giggling blonde from his fan club?
She spotted James waiting outside the library. Lily took a deep breath and sauntered up to him. " All right, Evans?" he said, not turning around. Lily grinned . He obviously didn't know she was right behind him. " Yes, I'm all right, Potter, how about you?". It was quite funny watching him almost jump out of his skin. "Where did you come from?" he asked incredulously. " Never mind that, shall we get started then?" Lily snapped. James looked slightly hurt. Lily cringed. After being mean to James for seven years, it was hard to adjust to the concept of being nice to him.
" All right, now what's the incantation for a Shield Charm?" asked Lily. James groaned. " Awww, can't we just skip this and go for a walk or something?" he said. Lily sighed. James was obviously not in the mood for studying, but then again, neither was she. Lily looked outside, and to James' astonishment , she smiled and said " OK, then. How about we go for a walk near the lake?" It might give Lily the perfect opportunity to tell James how she really felt.
A few days ago, if someone had told Lily that giant monkeys were going to take over the world, she probably wouldn't have believed them. .But if someone told her that she would spend an hour with James Potter without insulting him or hurting him in any way, she would have died laughing. Yet here she was, walking side by side with the person she had despised since first year, chatting animatedly. It was surprisingly easy to talk to James. He proved to be an unexpectedly good listener, and it was just like talking to Morgana.
The pair sat down under a tree, and Lily conjured up a picnic rug and a basket. James raised an eyebrow. "I thought we weren't allowed to use magic outside of school grounds" he said. It was a flexible rule for seventh-years, but not one he expected someone like Lily to break. "Are you feeling all right?" he asked. Lily laughed. " A bit rich coming from the head of the Marauders" she said. Lily stood up and shook her hair out. James stood up too, and the two of them stared at the lake. James looked into Lily's big, green eyes, and said " I have some advice for you, Evans."
"What is it?" Lily asked breathlessly. She felt just like a heroine in a romance novel. "Don't fall!" yelled James, as he pushed her into the lake. He watched her slowly sinking to the bottom, and the smile on his face faded. " Hold on Evans, I'll save you!" he cried, as he dived into the lake, fully clothed. James looked around frantically for Lily's body underwater, but he couldn't find it anywhere. He swam back up to the surface, dejected. Lily had drowned and it was all his fault. He felt a cold, clammy hand on his shoulder, and he screamed and tried to swim away, but it was no use. Suddenly, he heard a very familiar laugh coming from the "creature". Sure enough, he turned around and there was Lily, laughing hysterically. " You'll pay for that, Evans!" He dived underwater and attempted to grab her ankles, but she was too quick for him. By the time James had realized she was gone, Lily was already halfway to the castle.
Morgana was sitting in the common room, staring listlessly at the empty box of Honeydukes chocolates in front of her. So much for chocolate making you feel good, she thought angrily. She still felt just as guilty about what she had said to Lily about James. It was just a joke anyway. Morgana hadn't expected Lily to take it seriously.
Morgana wallowed in self-pity for the rest of the afternoon, until she was rudely interrupted by two soaking wet teenagers chasing each other and giggling like first-years. Eventually, they found a relatively dark corner and started kissing passionately- and loudly.
This was the last straw for Morgana . "Would you two please get a room!" she yelled. The couple stood up, and Morgana's jaw dropped. It was Lily and James!
Wow, I can't believe how much I've written. I guess I had to make this chappie long coz I promised they'd get together soon. Please R&R coz I really want to know what everyone thinks!
