Chapter Eight Miss Vicky Maltose

James and Lily walked slowly down the stairs to meet Vicky. As far as Lily was concerned she was a huge threat and Lily didn't want to meet her.

"Hi James. How are you? I haven't seen you in like forever!" Vicky's high itch voice filled the house. Lily flinched at the sound. Vicky ran up and flung her arms around his neck. Sirius came over and stood beside Lily. He squeezed her shoulder lightly letting her know that he was there. James unwrapped Vicky's arms and swept over to Lily.

"Sirius it is amazing to see you again. And this would be?" She asked, her eyes growing cold while they washed over Lily.

"Vicky this is Lily, my girlfriend. Lily this is Vicky." James made introductions quick and sweet. He put an arm around Lily's waist and turned to Sirius. "Lily and I are going to finish unpacking then we will come down to eat dinner." He turned and led Lily back up the stairs.

"So Sirius, has my James found himself a damsel. How long will she be with him, a week maybe? Huh Sirius, she is just one of those fall down girls isn't she?"

Sirius chuckled in spite of himself. "No, no, no Vicky. Lily is the real thing. The very soul James wants to hold every night. There is no going back now. You missed your chance and she is now one of the most hated girls at school. This is all he wanted. So face it Vicky, you lost." And with that he walked upstairs and closed his door.

Vicky was left downstairs fuming and all alone. She walked upstairs and straight to the room she had always used the room right beside James'. But she heard voices. Vicky went up to the door and peaked in. She couldn't believe what she saw. There lay James, his head in Lily's lap.

Lily was trying to comb through James' hair. No such luck. Whenever she would flatten a piece it would just stick back up. "Sorry James, after Joey there were few people I ever trusted."

James sat up and looked at Lily in the eyes. How he loved to gaze into the emerald pools, and when the light hit them just right he could see the reflection of flames flickering in them. "What did Joey and you have in common? What happened Lily?" He took her head in his hands, and met her eyes. "Tell me Lily, so I can understand."

She knew that this day would come. Slowly she stood up and moved away from James. "Joey was my ex boyfriend. He was everything any girl could want a guy to be. He was the most popular boy in school, on the football team, tall, handsome, fearless, and excellent at school. Sometimes he reminded me of you. Selfless, arrogant, stuck up and rich. He lives here to, just a few houses down from my house."

"But Lily, even though he reminds you of me, does that mean when you look at me you see him or me?"

"I see you James. You came first. I loved you first, even when I was dating him, you would sometimes swim into view and curse me. After those happened I would go home and cry myself to sleep. I was so stupid and had too much pride."

"No Lily, nothing about you is stupid. Your amazing, wild, passionate, fiery and at times a tease." They both laughed at the end. James wrapped her in a hug and kissed the top of her head. "Go on love."

Taking a deep breath Lily continued. "Everything was great in my world, I had the guy, even if he wasn't the one I wanted, school was done, my sister was gone for a month. Then one of his best friends confronted me about him and a girl named Allison. She had been at his house with a few friends and they went all the way. Eric told me everything. He asked if Joey had said anything on our date the night before and when I responded he hadn't Eric knew that Joey would never tell me. I called him and broke up with him. I never told him that Eric told me, I wanted to keep Eric safe. It has been really hard to watch you make your rounds with girls and then try to trust you. But James, I love you more then you will ever know." With that she threw her arms around his neck and pushed him onto the bed.

Vicky decided not to watch them snog so she closed the door and went to form her plan that would hopefully break the two love birds apart. She needed some leverage and to find this Joey person. But all that would come later, now she needed a shower.

Sirius sent out the letters and went to tell James that the party was planned and set for the 27 of December. Until then they all had work to do to get ready for the party of the year. Since this was his last year, Sirius wanted to make everything worth it. But as he thought of all the girls that would be there Kat's face and sweet voice echoed threw his head.

Padfoot (HHs Maraudrs)- Yes there was a reason! Lol

Sorry it was short. Lily really needed to get out what happened between her and Joey. That was the point of this chapter. It will be longer next time. Thanks again for everything.
