Chapter 2: Surprises and Disappointments
Lily's P.O.V.
Oh my God, did he just ask me that! Umm, oh God! I don't know! I'm only eighteen for god's sake!
Normal P.O.V.
Time seemed to stand still, James kneeling on one knee in front of Lily who was staring at the ring, looking absolutely shocked. She looked from the ring, to James, to Professor McGonagall, to Filch and back to James.
James' P.O.V.
Shit! I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I asked her; in front of McGonagall and Filch! And I expected her to say yes! What an idiot! I should've waited.
Normal P.O.V.
At that exact moment the broom closet sprang open spilling out the six people that it had contained so well. No-one dared to move as they all looked from Lily to James. Finally Lily answered.
"James, Darling, I'm so sorry, but I can't marry you. Not now, I'm not ready, I'm really, really sorry. I hope this doesn't come between us. Maybe, in the near future. Maybe then I'll be ready. But for now I'm just a girlfriend, if you'll still have me." Lily replied in a small, shaky voice.
"oh, I see." Replied James in a high pitched voice, so unlike his own soft and deep voice. And before anyone could stop him, he dropped the ring at Lily's feet and ran up the Entrance Hall steps two at a time, until he was out of sight. Immediately Sirius ran after James as Lily collapsed in a heap on the floor crying. Thirrin, Aleera and Kirri-lee ran over to try and comfort Lily.
"Well Professor?" asked Mr. Filch.
"We'll let this one go Mr. Filch." And with that Mr. Filch walked off, grumbling to himself with Mrs. Norris hot on his heels.
"Mr. Lupin, could you come here please?" asked Prof. McGonagall.
"yes Professor." Replied a slightly shocked Remus.
"Please take Ms. Evans to the hospital wing and give her a calming draught. Then please go and find Mr.'s Potter and Black and tell Mr. Potter that I wish to see him in my office."
"Sure thing Professor," he replied. "Come on Lily, up you get. There, now let's go get something to make you feel better, hey?" And the six teens went off in search of the hospital wing.
"Wait!" Lily cried out.
"Lily, What's wrong honey?" asked Aleera as Lily turned around and started hurrying back from where they came.
"The ring, I forgot the ring!" cried out Lily as she scurried back to the group, tears rolling down her cheeks and the diamond ting, that had belonged to James' late grandmother, sparkled on her finger.
"Why did you want the ring sweetie?" Kirri-lee asked softly.
"James might want it." Lily managed to choke out before bursting into tear.
