A/N: Hey all! Thanks again for the great reviews. Sorry for taking a little long with this chapter...I was having a little trouble deciding whether or not to do something. After much pondering, I decided to try it out lol. Anyway...let me know what you think lol. BTW...Zardus, I've thought about your idea several times. Now I know someone is okay with it, I've put it into writing lol. Think of this as your chapter. Hope you like it! If you have any ideas, let me know! I'll be more than willing to take them into consideration.
James and Lily sat in the common room in silence. Neither of them knew whether to say what they were feeling or just continue to sit in awkward silence trying to avoid each other's eyes. Lily sighed quietly and twisted uncomfortably in her armchair and turned to look in the fire.
"So..." James said finally, looking up to meet Lily's eyes. "What do we do now?"
"I don't know." Lily said gently. "I still hate you though. Thanks to you, Remus and I aren't together."
James rolled his eyes and groaned irritably. "Oh come on Lily. You can't seriously be blaming me for the end of your so-called relationship with Moony. He even said he knew it was coming."
"Oh whatever. He's just saying that so he wouldn't sound so hurt. It's obvious it bothers him."
"No it doesn't." James retorted angrily. "Why is it so hard for you to like me?"
Lily stood up quickly and turned away from James to hide the tears that she knew were trying to fall from her emerald eyes. "James, you broke my heart in third year. How can I trust you now?"
"Look," James began as he rose slowly and cautiously approached Lily from behind. "I didn't know and I was way too young to realize that you had any feelings for me at 13. I've tried to apologize to you but you don't mind me so I don't bother anymore. I'm really sorry. I really am."
Lily scoffed quietly. "That shows you should be a little more considerate of other people's feelings."
"I am considerate." James said quietly as he put his hands on Lily's waist and turned her around to face him. "I still like you."
Lily couldn't look away from those beautiful hazel eyes. She knew that she still liked him too and she could be with him. He was ready, willing and able, but as long as she thought about what happened three years ago, she couldn't open up to him.
'I'm going to regret this someday.' Lily thought to herself as she pulled James closer to her and kissed him sweetly on the lips.
Meanwhile, watching from the top of the stairs was Jennifer Robinson and her best friend, Kristen Wax.
"Well how about that?" Kristen said slowly, slightly amused. Her ice blue eyes focused on James and Lily kissing. "That's an all-time low for James Potter. How does he go from you to hooking up with that muggle-born geek?"
"Krissy, it won't last." Jennifer said reassuringly. She twirled a lock of her golden blonde hair around her well-toned right index finger. "If it does, which it won't, I'll personally make sure it ends. If I can't have James, then she certainly can't."
Kristen raised a concerned eyebrow and looked at her best friend. "Don't you think you care a little too much? Hasn't James liked Lily for the longest time anyway?"
"Yeah as a friend. Friends don't kiss like that." Jennifer pointed her finger hastily toward James and Lily, who were now sitting on the sofa cuddling. "Besides she still has to pay for messing around with James behind my back. Maybe tomorrow I can teach her a lesson."
"When did she mess around with James?"
Jennifer explained the whole bedroom situation with her and Sirius to her wide-eyed best friend who also wanted to beat up Lily too. What they failed to realize was that Jennifer was clearly in the wrong for having sex with Sirius behind James' back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, the school became exposed to a new couple--James Potter and Lily Evans. James finally got what he wanted and Lily finally admitted her true feelings. They sat next to each other in class and they held hands when they walked down the hall together. People accepted their new and less hateful relationship; however, there were still those who couldn't let go of old flames. Lily and James meet in front of the Great Hall after lunch to say goodbye before Lily went down to the greenhouses for Herbology and James went back to the Gryffindor common room to plan some Quidditch plays, seeing as he was the captain.
"I'll see you tonight right?" Lily said sweetly as she looked up at James.
"Yeah, but it'll be late because of Quidditch practice." James said kindly. "Why don't come down to the pitch and watch practice?"
"I dunno James. I have to patrol the same time as your practice, but I'll stop by if there aren't too many problems in the corridors."
James smiled down at Lily. He really believed that this was the happiest he had ever been. No other girl seemed to make him feel the way he felt around Lily and he wanted it to stay that way. Forever.
"What are you staring at, James Potter?" Lily asked playfully as she waved her hand in James' face to bring him back to reality.
"What?" James asked slowly. "Oh...nothing. I was just...thinking. I'll see you later, okay?"
Lily nodded and give James a quick kiss on the lips before they went their separate ways.
On the way down to the greenhouses, Lily noticed Jennifer and Kristen walking behind her. She ignored it at first, then realized that they weren't in her Herbology class.
"Where are you two going?" Lily asked coldly as she turned around to face Jennifer and Kristen. "This isn't the way to Potions. Have you been confunded?"
Jennifer smirked as Kirsten circled Lily, pulling her wand out as she walked around her. "You got a lot of mouth for someone so small and unimportant." She replied smugly.
"Oh well that's nice to know, Jennifer, but I don't have to time to chat." Lily turned around to continue her walk to the greenhouses, but Kristen was blocking her way. "Move or I will move you myself."
Kristen opened her mouth to hex Lily, but Lily was too fast.
"Petrificus Totalus!" She shouted as Kristen froze and fell to the ground in a shocked state, Lily turned to face Jennifer who was already prepared with her wand. "I told you I don't have time for this. What do you want from me, Jennifer?"
"Expelliarmus!" Jennifer yelled, disarming Lily then in turn throwing her own wand on the ground too.
"Jennifer, are you as stupid as you are slutty? The point of having an advantage in a duel is to keep your wand when you disarm your opponent, not throw your wand away too."
"Oh shut up Lily!" Jennifer yelled impatiently. "I am so sick of you! First you steal my boyfriend, then you act so high and mighty around me! How dare you talk to me like I'm some kind of idiot! Who do you think you are, you disgusting little mud-blood!"
With those words, it seemed as though Lily and Jennifer had attracted at least half the school. Lily didn't know what to do. All she knew was that either her or Jennifer would have to throw the first punch or continue to insult each other. Lily didn't want to do either, but she was put into this situation. How would it look if a prefect was caught fighting? They would surely take her badge and perhaps Professor Dumbledore, her headmaster, wouldn't respect her anymore.
"So what do you want Jennifer?" Lily asked quietly, as she tried to avoid all the eyes that were watching. "Do you want to fight? How do you expect to fight me without your wand?"
Jennifer chuckled to herself. "Oh, Lily. Wand fights are so last year."
Without thinking, Jennifer tackled Lily to the ground and started slapping and hitting wherever Lily couldn't block. It took Lily a minute to realize that Jennifer was hitting her, so with all the strength and might she could build up, she managed to throw Jennifer off her before getting up and attempting to run over to her wand. Jennifer was way ahead of her, as she grabbed Lily's ponytail and pulled her away.
"AH!" Lily screamed in agony as Jennifer pulled at her roots. Lily kicked back with her left leg and hit Jennifer's stomach making her groan in pain and bend over, letting go of Lily's hair.
Lily seized Jennifer's robes and punched her in the jaw before letting her go to fall to the ground. She turned to make another grab for her wand before Jennifer yelled 'BITCH!' angrily and tripped her. Jennifer crawled quickly to Lily and jumped on her back. She grabbed her head and slammed it into the ground as hard as she could. Lily grabbed a nearby stick and smacked Jennifer in the head from behind. Jennifer fell back off of Lily holding her cheek as she stood up to face Lily who was already standing.
"You stupid mudblood! You can't win against me, Lily!" Jennifer exclaimed wildly. Her robes and face were bloodstained. She had cuts on her arms and legs, a huge red mark on her cheek from when Lily hit her in the face with the stick. Her jaw ached where Lily had punched her. "Look at you, you're out of breath! I thought maybe because you were a muggle, you could fight like one. I guess you'll always rely on your little spellbook to solve your problems. You are so weak!"
"I already have won, you whore! I'm dating your ex-boyfriend aren't I?" Lily replied smartly.
"OH PLEASE!" Jennifer shrieked coldly. "You can't really think he actually likes you! HE'S JAMES POTTER, LILY EVANS! GET A FUCKING CLUE! He wouldn't give you the time of day if all he wanted was to get you in bed! Why do you thin we were dating? All we did was have sex! There was no love!"
"SHUT UP!" Lily yelled in a rage and ran toward Jennifer at full speed. Jennifer was right. Lily was tired, but she didn't care. All she wanted was to hurt Jennifer. Blood dripped from her nose and mouth, her face was red with anger. Her robes had blood and grass stains from all those times she fell and when Jennifer had slammed her face into the ground. She had almost reached Jennifer when Sirius had stepped in her way out of nowhere and grabbed her before she could dodge him.
"Let me go, Black!" Lily yelled angrily as she struggled to free herself from Sirius' strong grip. She looked and saw Remus scolding students for not doing anything sooner.
"Come on, we're taking you to Madam Pomfrey." Sirius said firmly as he carried Lily back to the castle, closely followed by Remus who was carrying Jennifer.
A/N: Well how was that for a cat fight lol! There will be more fights to come. Maybe one between James and Remus over Lily...I dunno. But girls shouldn't have all the fun right? Lol...I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Also look out for James and Lily's first time together a few chapters later lol.
