Say Something
The story of Lily Evans falling in the pit they call love. Rated T for language might change to M in later chapters
Recap:
Yes James Potter made the infamous Lily Evans speechless. How he did it, I will never know, but there I was standing open mouthed at the entrance to the great hall while everyone waited for my next move. Was Lily Evans going to run away, or was she going to say something back?
The great Lily Evans did nothing. I might have screamed at him, I might have stomped my foot and walked away, but I didn't. I was dragged away by Elle before the masses of students left to Great Hall to go towards their classes. A couple shot me scared glances. Where they afraid I was going to blow up? To late to ponder anything now because Elle had dragged me into our first class and sat me in the back, "What the bloody hell was that all about?" She asked me looking annoyed,
"What do you mean?"
"You're supposed to be head girl you don't make a scene like that in front of the whole school." She hissed. I just shrugged and glared as Potter and his cronies walked into the room laughing about something or another. Strange. Potter wasn't laughing with them. He was just giving a lame grin to his friends before he sat down in his usual seat and took out his quill and parchment, "You did something to him." Elle whispered,
"I did what?"
"He's not the same."
"What do you mean?"
"He's not pranking people, he's got this hollow look in his eyes, he's just not Potter anymore."
"It's only the first day of school." I pointed out. How could she believe that? Something might have happened over the summer. Someone might have died. Someone might have put a mouse in his sock this morning. Hell I don't know. All I do know is that not one person, even me, could change James Potter.
Elle shot me a worried glance and turned back to her notes. I shrugged, she can believe what she wants, she just wants me to get close to Potter, and so she can get close to Black. I highly doubt it could happen. I mean sure Elle's nice and all, but she's so…plain. She's got this regular colored brown hair that goes to her shoulders. It's extremely flat and has no volume at all. She's average height, she has a flat chest, she's in Ravenclaw, and plus she's extremely boring. I am sorry to say, but Elle has no sex appeal what so ever. I wouldn't even look at her if I was a guy.
Damn you Lily Evans, that's mean. You're such a cold hearted bi-
"Miss Evans?"
"Sorry Professor, the answer is that it uses a brilliant light to scare them away." The Professor glared at me before turning back to the class. Good save, Evans. Elle nudged me a half and hour later,
"Class is over." She said strapping her bag closed. I waved good bye as I headed in the opposite direction.
"Prefects meeting tonight at seven." A smooth voice said behind me. I swear my heart skipped a couple beats as he whispered in my ear,
"God, Remus, don't sneak up on me like that." Remus chuckled opening the door for me. I smiled and took my usual seat in the back all by myself. Although this time Remus decided to sit next to me, "What about Potter and Black." I spit out their names. Even though saying Potter stirred something inside of me. Whatever,
"They didn't take this class this year."
"Oh." Class started and as usual it was just a review of last year. I really don't mind school usually, but when you're trying to pay attention when you have the image of sex sitting right next to you it's really hard. Fine, maybe not the image of sex, because he is a little to skinny and pale, but I couldn't help but want to brush his sandy hair out of his eyes. Which where now looking at me with a brow raised. Wait, looking at me? "Sorry, what did you say?"
"I asked if you where okay."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" The bell for the end of the class rang causing Remus to push back his chair and stand up. He waited for me looking down at his feet,
"Well, after Pro- I mean James yelled at you this morning, I just thought…I don't know." A faint color rose on his cheeks as he held open the door for me. I gave him a small grin and waited for him. Together we walked to lunch talking about the last lesson. When we got there I instantly felt a pair of eyes looking at me. I scanned the hall my eyes landing right into the hazel depths of Potter's eyes. He glared at me then at Remus and turned back to his plate ignoring Black and Pettigrew. "Bye Lily." Remus said joining his friends leaving me all alone. Elle waved me over to the Ravenclaw table and I sat down. The whole school was used to us sitting together that no one really cared anymore.
"So how was your lesson with Remus?" She whispered the last word in my ear. I grinned and blushed looking down at my plate. Elle then nudged me in the side and pointed towards the Gryffindor table. I looked over and saw/heard the Marauders in an uproar. Potter was glaring at his plate, it looked like he was about to explode, Remus was yelling at him for some reason, Black was standing up for Potter, and Pettigrew was looking scared. When Remus seemed about done yelling at Potter for something Black took his turn. Potter looked up at his best friend and put a hand on Black's shoulder. Black stopped talking and looked at Potter. Potter stood up abruptly upsetting a few goblets and stormed off out of the hall. Black watched him go and stood up to following stopping when he passed me and Elle. He snarled at me,
"I hope you're happy." He growled and stormed out after Potter.
"What the bloody hell was that about?" Elle asked sort of breathe taken. I just shook my head, "Maybe you should follow."
"What! And get murdered by Black? I don't think so." I looked back down at my plate. This was not my problem if the Marauders had some sort of fight I had nothing to do with it. It was not my problem. Then why did Black say 'I hope you're happy'? A voice whispered in my head. I glanced at Remus who looked a little dejected and then I looked at the entrance to the Great Hall. I looked back and forth for a minute. What the hell... I stood up and walked out of the Great Hall following the footsteps of Black and Potter.
Thanks to the two of you that reviewed. I hope you liked this chapter.
