Chapter 9- The Bitter Argument
"Where is it?!?" Lily frantically searched for a scroll of parchment that contained her potions homework. "I know I put it somewhere but now I can't seem to remember!" Tia groaned.
"Lily! It's 11 o'clock at night! I'm so tired from Professor Snake! Look for it in the morning!" She whined as she gave out a big yawn to emphasize that she was actually tired. Lily only rolled her eyes and continued to search.
"I need it for my homework! Without it, I won't be able to finish my 10 inches!" At this point, Lily was panicking, desperately searching for it.
"Go look for it in the common room! Let me have my beauty sleep!" Lily threw a pillow at Tia before marching downstairs, continuing her quest for the parchment. She walked towards the common room and noticed The Marauders crowding over something. Lily, suspicious of their actions, stalked over to them.
"I know you're planning something, so spit it out already." The Marauders excluding Remus for some odd reason, had turned and faced Lily. Lily eyed them dangerously, glaring at them, as if knowing that they were planning something horrible. Sirius, James, and Peter all smiled innocently and held up a parchment that read 'I LOVE SLYTHERINS!' The worst part? It was Lily's potions homework.
Lily turned red, furious and speechless at what they did. With trembling hands, she snatched the parchment out of Sirius's hands and held it up. Everyone knew how obsessed Lily was about her homework and how everything had to be extremely perfect. This took her out of the line. With Lily's hot temper, the Marauders were very much in trouble. Only, Lily didn't say anything. She looked at them and James, unexpected at what was going to happen, seemed startled at the way Lily's eyes had glistened and hurt was written all over her face. She stormed up to her room and slammed the door with force that everyone seemed surprised and stared up at the door.
Remus shook his head and closed his book. He strolled over to his friends and pointed a finger at them.
"I told you you shouldn't mess with people's parchments. But no, you just had to pick up Lily's potions assignment and charm it and leave it back there for Lily to find. You couldn't at least have tried to see whose parchment you were charming?" They all bowed their heads in shame, guilty looks spread across their faces.
"You know the feeling of impulse when you haven't pranked someone all day. I got the urge to just place a prank on someone. I didn't know it was Lily's we were charming. Honest. And I wasn't sure if her name wasn't on it." Sirius murmered and placed his hand in his hands. Peter only hung his head as James remained silent. Completely silent. He had hurt Lily. The one thing he vowed he would never do. She saw it. The disbelief when she saw the parchment and James. Only him. She couldn't believe her own friend would do that. James knew that she thought he was better than that to wreck her homework.
Remus was right. He was always right and he hated him for that sometimes. He wanted to be the one that was right, to gloat yet not act like an idiot. That's what he wanted. But, fate decided that he would be the one who was wrong and be the idiot. James ruffled his hair and sighed. Why did he have to go and just ruin someone's parchment like that? What if it was some poor first year who hardly knew anything and that was his only good work? He was horrible and he knew it. 'I just ruined my chances.' He thought somberly and imitated Sirius's actions while groaning inwardly.
"I HATE JAMES POTTER!" Remus had to hide the grin by turning his back at James as he heard him groan loudly.
----------------------
"Why do you hate him?" Tia was munching on a piece of cupcake she had stolen from the kitchens as she looked up from her homework. Lily's red hair was even more red than before. Her eyes were blazing, her cheeks flushed, her hands coiled in tight fists as one of her hands was clutching her potions homework.
Tia gasped at the sight. Yes, she had seen Lily angry but never in her whole 3 years that she has known Lily has seen her this much angry.
"What happened?" Lily was just too angry to speak now and collapsed on her pillow while screaming into it.
Tia casually plucked the parchment out of Lily's hand and stared at it for a moment. She frowned as her eyes darkened.
"I suppose Black was in this too?" She saw Lily nod her head, her face in the pillow still. Once in a while, she would raise her head for some breath than be placed face down on the pillow once more. "Hold on for one second." Lily was much too occupied at staying silent. What Tia didn't know was that she was crying. Crying at the fact that James would something so horrible.
Tia walked outside and saw James and Sirius looking grim, Remus a bit pleasant than usual and Peter eating some cake and working on his homework.
"You!" She snarled at Sirius and James. They both looked up, terrified at the sight of Tia.
"T-Tia!" Sirius exclaimed, frightened at what Tia was capable of doing. "W-what is that you want?" He whimpered like a lost puppy.
"You're both pathetic. 'I love Slytherins'? How low can you go? Never in my life have I seen something more pathetic in my life. I just hope you're happy now. You especially James," She pointed at James, who was still in shame. "All this time, I thought you liked Lily. What got into your head when you did it?"
"I didn't know it was hers." He mumbled, still glancing down at the ground. Tia arched a brow as she placed her hands on her hips.
"Excuse me? What did you just say?" This time, James looked up, an angry look flashing across his face.
"I said, I didn't know it was hers. Just leave me alone. It wasn't my fault too you know!" Then he stormed upstairs and slammed the door. Tia only raised her hands up in frustration, rolled her eyes, shaking her head, and left too.
"Boys!" She exclaimed to herself then slammed the door too leaving a stunned Remus, Sirius, and a snoring Peter. 'Girls!' Both Remus and Sirius thought and shook their heads.
----------------------
"Carrot-Head!"
"Jerk!"
"Brat!"
"That's it Potter! I've had it with you and your stupid ego, and your annoying habits, your horrible pranks, and most of all, just your for existing! You think you're all that, being high and mighty, thinking you're the King of Hogwarts?!? Well, I have news flash for you! You're not! I wish you would deflate that big head of yours! I hate you for being like that!" Lily shrilled at James.
James, looking like he was slapped, had angry tears sprouting at his eyes but he refused to have them pouring down. It panged his heart to have Lily say hurtful things to him. Lily stared surprised that James looked like he was about to cry but she only hardened her heart. She didn't dare show weakness after throwing insults. And he looked dangerous.
"Fine," He said in a low, dangerous voice. "You've had it with me? That's fine. I never wnat to see you again Lily Evans. Not now, not ever." With that, he stormed outside and slammed the portrait shut, leaving Lily stunned and furious.
"Lily! How could you say that? You know James didn't mean any of what he said when he was insulting you." Tia said, shocked at the situation too. But what shocked her more was what Lily had said.
"I know." Lily cried out and sobbed uncontrollably on Tia's shoulder.
----------------------
'I hate you for being like that!' Those words stung him painfully. It sounded like she truly did mean it. She did look like she meant it. 'She hates me.' He thought miserably. 'She really hates me.' He down on the edge of the lake and stared at the twinkling stars. He smiled, remembering the time when he and Lily sat down on the same exact spot, looking up at the stars. 'Why did I have to go and fall in love with the one who hates my guts?'
He sighed and ruffled his hair. He scowled at the habit and dropped his hand. 'I'll have her know that James Potter can change. I'll drop my huge-ass ego as she would like to call it, and my annoying habits and dammit, she'll soon regret ever saying those blasted words to me.'
----------------------
"LILY!" Sirius roared out one time. Lily popped her head out of the girls' dormitories, scowling and looking very irritated.
"What?" She replied icily. She hated being interrupted while studying, including getting startled by a loud voice.
"You did this! I know you did! That's why he's acting this way! All weird and stuff!" Sirius ranted on, looking positively furious. Lily, obviously, had no idea what he was talking about.
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything! So don't go on about accusing me with stuff that I had anything to do with!" She said coldly. She was still angry at what Sirius had done to her potions homework. It was harder to read the work she had done and she had to explain quite calmly at what happened. She ended up getting 20 points deducted from her house.
"James!" He snapped back at her. "James Potter has gone nuts!" He said between gritted teeth.
"What did he do?" She narrowed her eyes at him. Sirius only glared back.
"He's studying! And he doesn't break rules o-or have detentions or play pranks or go sneak out at night. He even says he has responsibilites as Head Boy!" He grimaced at the word responsibilites.
"Well, he should have responsibilities. That is what a Head Boy needs. Including one as idiotic as Potter." Sirius scoffed, as if it was mental that his best friend needed to have such a thing.
"Not James. He doesn't flirt with girls, or ruffle his hair, or snog with girls anymore. All he does is read, do his homework, study, play Quidditch and study some more!" Lily snorted and rolled her eyes.
"Have you ever tried talking to him?" She noted sarcastically.
"I have, Little Miss-Goody-Two-" At that point, the portrait opened. First Remus appeared, Peter after, then James, reading a book.
"Speak of the devil himself." James looked up confused. His eyes glinted a little at Lily before returning his gaze to his book. Sirius stalked up to James and snatched his book.
"James! Snap out of it!" Sirius pleaded to his best friend. James blinked for a moment before grabbing the book back.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Sirius." James replied calmly and shut the door quietly to the boys' dormitories. Lily stared, shocked. She thought Sirius was only joking around, making a fool out of her, but when she saw James with her own two eyes, well, hell, she was surprised! Sirius glumly sat down and sighed.
"That...what...James...?" She trailed off. 'He's gone mad!' Sirius only nodded and sighed again. Lily only stood at the top of the stairs, frozen, unable to register the big news. After a few moments, Lily finally moved and walked slowly into the girls' dormitories without a word. Sirius took it as his exit cue and he too, stood up. But, instead of going to the boys' dormitories, he opened the portrait and left to god-knows-where. 'Where have you gone, James?'
----------------------
In the boys' dormitories, James tried hard to concentrate on his book but it was no use. After not seeing her for three days straight, just the sight of her just turned James's brain to mush. Normally, when James was talking to his friends and he saw some other girl that he probably might have been crushing on, he would just brush her aside and not waste another thought of her and continue chatting with his friends. But Lily was no other girl and this feeling was new to him.
His heart fluttered whenever he saw her, his stomach in flip flops, breathless, his mind whirling whenever he was near her and her scent, intoxicating him. Those almond-shaped emerald eyes, and that long, flowing, auburn red hair just tumbling down her back. James sucked in his breath as her image was stuck in his head. She was taking over him in some odd way.
Yes, this feeling was definately new to him. He slammed his book shut, startling Remus, Peter and a few other boys who were in the dorm.
"Sorry." He muttered and adjusted his glasses as he checked the clock. Remus was curious at James's fidgety action and why in the whole entire world, James Potter would study.
"Is something the matter, Prongs?" Remus curiously yet casually asked. James wrung his hands as he leaned against the wallside of his bed.
"No, why would you ask that?" His voice was certainly unusually high, something the old James would not have. His voice had a tone that was low and for that, Remus was suspicious. He arched a brow, a bit puzzled by the pitch.
"Because the James Potter I know wouldn't be all so fidgety and nervous about something. He's usually calm and collected, even before a big Quidditch match." James scowled. There Remus goes, being all observent and worse, right once again. He slumped his shoulders and crossed his arms.
"Why would I be nervous? I was just angry because I can't seem to read much less concentrate on anything." Remus shrugged his shoulders and continued his DADA homework. 'Lily Evans.' He thought with a smile.
"James?" Peter squeaked. He was always a bit nervous talking to James. He highly respected him, worshipping the ground he walked on.
"What?" James snapped, slightly irritated over what Remus had said. He understood Remus but now Peter? That was going too far. Peter only trembled.
"You...you have a letter." He nervously stuttered pointing to Hermes, James's owl. James loosened his stiff posture and practically pounced on the parchment.
"Thanks Pete." He said after apologizing quickly for being snappish. He then closed the curtains around his four-poster bed, leaving a confused and puzzled Remus and a slightly nervous Peter.
James read the letter twice. His smile brightened as he cheered silently.
"Yes! This is it!" He tucked the letter into his pocket robe and quietly slipped out as Remus and Peter were finishing up their homeworks.
