Authors notes: Alright, so I know I haven't updated in ages but I got unbearingly bored and decided to continue my story. Please R&R. Thanks.
The rain hadn't stopped since the Hogsmead trip and neither had James's heartache. So Lily had turned him down about… a million times before but the time right after one million hurts the most impeccably, terribly, horrifyingly, indefinably, and awful.
James sat in the common room staring distantly into the fire, admiring the oh-so-painfully familiar color. He had sat in that position all through the night and even through Sirius's nightly sleep walk. It was nearly ten 'o'clock and the others would be awake soon. And they would ask what is wrong etc. etc. etc. That's exactly what happened.
Sirius stomped down the stairs yawning and stretching his muscular arms. "Mornin' sunshine." He said as he neared James's usual chair. "Did ya' have a good night love?" he mocked.
"Padfoot." James replied angrily.
"Is he doin' that gay guy thing again James?" Remus inquired as he strolled briskly down from the bedroom. "'Cause if he is, just punch him."
Next to stumble down the stairs was Peter, dressed in his favorite pair of footie pajamas, his blanket still clasped tightly in his hands, slowly dragging behind him.
"Pete, you're gonna…" but it was too late, Peter had already stepped on the corner of the satin cloth and tripped, falling flat on his face in front of two girls who had just come down from their dormitory.
"Hi ladies" he said hoarsely looking up bashfully. The girls giggled, then, stepping over one of Peter's arms, hurried on their way.
"Petie," Sirius groaned, "I was gonna talk to them girls an' now ya' go and scare 'em off."
Remus laughed as he went to help Peter up. "You'd better go upstairs and change before you trip again" he muttered.
James hadn't moved this whole time; he sat, staring, that's all. It was odd how he could sit still for so long but he did, at least until Lily came down the stairs.
As soon as he caught a glimpse of her unmistakable beauty he jumped from his seat and stood at the bottom of the stairs. He would have run up them to greet her but he learned from previous experiences that the stairs were evil, vile things.
"Oh no!" he gasped as she stepped down towards him.
"What now Potter?" Lily hissed. She had no intensions of putting up with him again.
"I just have to ask you if it hurt." James replied.
"What, Potter, this better not be one of your dumb pick-up lines again." She moaned.
"Actually, it's a good one!" Sirius interrupted.
Before Lily could utter the words James shouted, "Why, when you fell from Heaven, love."
"Potter!" Lily yelled, "Never call me love, never try to use any dumb pick-up lines on me again, and never speak to me!" she screamed pushing past him.
James caught her as she tried to push past him and he pulled her around to look straight into her emerald eyes. "Well somebody got up on the wrong side of the bed now, didn't they?" he chimed.
Lily just scowled, loosening his grasp then stepping hard on his foot, stomping away as soon as he let her go.
"Don't worry mate," Sirius remarked, "She's usually not this terrible. She's prob'ly just on her period. Perhaps you should get her some chocolate. Women love chocolate, especially when they're on their period."
"Can we go to breakfast now?' Peter complained as he returned from the dorm. "Im starved!"
At that the boys rushed off to breakfast. When they arrived they sat at their usual spot, as far away from the teachers as possible. This was all good because those were the only seats left by the time they made it to breakfast. Peter sat down and quickly filled his plate with more food than even he could ever eat. Remus grabbed a bit of food but was more interested in proof-reading his muggle studies report that was due on Monday.
"Hey James?" Sirius asked nudging him to look in the direction of a specific blond haired boy. "Whatcha think?" he asked.
"Sirius, you know I'm not interested in men." James remarked slyly.
"No!" Sirius groaned, "The girl behind him. Y'know, that Ravenclaw girl. I think her name's Lydia or summat like that."
"Padfoot, you can't even see her face, how do y'know she's that great?"
"Her face may not be wonderful, but why should I care. From this view you can tell her arse sure is."
"Yeah, that's true." James nodded.
"Hey, back off, I saw 'er first!" Sirius joked, elbowing James in the side. "Nah, I'm not worried about you stealin' my chicks fer a while. You'll never give up on Lils will ya'?"
James just smirked and began to eat his breakfast. So maybe he wouldn't give up on Lily, and maybe she was just a lost cause, but James didn't think so. He couldn't easily give up on something he loved.
"Ey mate, there she is now." Sirius said, nudging James in the side as Lily walked past their table.
"Hey there honey buns." James said coolly, running a hand through his tousled ebony mane. He flashed a stunning smile in the girl's general direction and she look back with befuddlement.
"What in the world did you just say Potter?" she hissed, walking back to where the boy sat. Her emerald orbs stared maliciously at the shaggy haired heart-throb.
"Why, I only asked if you'd like a honey bun. I highly recommend them, their quite delicious." He said picking up a sticky sweet roll.
Lily rolled her eyes, "Sure James, I bet that's exactly what you said." She said with extreme sarcasm.
James grinned. "Oh, so I see we're on a first name basis now. That's an improvement. Maybe tomorrow you'll move from fiery hate to eternal loathing." He winked, sending the girls eyes rolling once again.
"No, now if you'll excuse me I have first year's to help, work to do, classes to get to, people to meet…"
"Boys to snog." Sirius added stifling a laugh.
"As a matter of fact I don't have a significant other right now Black, so you can just stay out of my personal life." Lily stated and then stormed off in the opposite direction.
"Thanks a lot there pal." James said, shoving Sirius in the side.
The quartet sat in silence, not a sound but the chomping of bacon and eggs. A few minutes passed noiselessly, but the quiet hush began to irritate Sirius, who couldn't stand the lack of conversation.
"So, how long do you think they'll keep up those pass codes at Hogsmead?" he inquired.
Remus smiled, "I find the whole thing amusing." He smirked.
"Yeah, that's just 'cause you're bilinguini." Sirius muttered, crossing his arms across his muscular chest.
Remus laughed. "You mean bilingual mate? Linguini's a type of pasta."
Sirius shot Remus an angry look. "Whatever." He mumbled.
There was another period of awkward silence. Each of the four sat doing nothing more than biting their nails or twiddling their thumbs.
"Well, off to class then." Remus muttered, getting up from his seat. The other boys followed not long after and began their procession to divination.
A/N- Thanks for reading, please review. Thanks again. Buhbyes.
