More Than A One Night Stand

Evil Sirius

"What do you want?" Lily asked suspiciouslly because she could bet anything she had it would be something not very nice.

"Padfoot, be carefull about what you say," James warned him, but Sirius, ignoring his best friend, only laughed.

"Calm down, love birds. It's pretty simple. You will pretend to be a couple for the whole week," Sirius laughed and Lily with James froze.

"That is the most stupid, pathetic thing I have ever heard!" Lily hissed. "It's useless to do that since we're trying to hide what happened!"

"Padfoot, I'll kill you!" James said in between nervous laughs. He couldn't believe his best friend.

"Look at it this way, Evans, what will people say when you and James will date for a week and what will they say when they'll hear you got drunk and slept with him? Which one is better?"

"Padfoot, I'll kill you," James repeated.

"I can't believe you, Black!"

"You will have to, my dear Lily flower," Sirius smirked. "So? What do you say?"

"How can you be doing this to me?" James said and grabbed Sirius by his collar. "You happen to be my best friend and you're supposed to be helping me not setting me up with the school's top bitch!"

Lily got offended and smacked James upside his head.

"You weren't thinking like this couple of months ago, mate."

"That was couple of months ago, now is now. Don't do this to me! Please!"

"Sorry Prongs, but I have to. I can't let an opportunity like this to just...go. It will be fun. Come on. Do you accept? This is the last time I'm asking."

Lily and James looked at each other slightly aggravated. Somehow, they understood what the other had to say without words. Lily sighed deeply and looked at Sirius. If looks could kill, Sirius would be laying on the floor, not moving.

"Fine," Lily said angrily. Sirius grinned broadly and looked at James.

"Whatever." He threw his hands into the air and started pacing around.

"Very well, we have a deal then, but let me remind you, pretending to date means holding hands, kissing, snogging and the rest...is up to you," he chuckled and took Lily's hand. If she could, she would crush Sirius' fingers in a matter of seconds, but she was not that strong.

"Ok, I'll leave you two alone so you can discuss your plans for the next week. Buh-bye," Sirius grinned and exited the room. James threw himself on the bed and sighed.

"So? What are we going to do now?" asked Lily, her cheeks receiving back the red color that was there earlier. James glanced at her and ran a hand through his hair. Lily rolled her eyes when she saw that. It was so irritating. He always does that…oh well, probably just a bad habit of his.

"I think we have no other choice than to do what Sirius dared us to do. I mean, we agreed," he said as a matter-of-factly.

"Well, next time you'll know better than to get me drunk and-"

"Get you drunk?" James looked up at her in disbelief. "I got you drunk? Excuse me, but I'm pretty sure you got drunk without my help. And what happened afterwards is..."

"Your fault!" Lily hissed.

"What? My fault? Why is it only my fault?"

"Because..." Lily searched in her mind for the right words, but she didn't seem to find any. She had to win this argument!

"Please do me a favour and get out of my room," James snapped and laid back down. Lily winced and all the words got stuck in her throat.

"Are you throwing me out?" she finally managed to say.

"Yes, I'm throwing you out. Good-bye," he said harshly and rolled over to the other side not paying any of his attention to her anymore. Lily glared at him for a moment and then turned on her heel to leave. Now, how is all this supposed to work out?

And one question bugged her even more. When exactly did he start to hate her? He was always asking her out, sending her love notes and teasing her in that sweet way. She always ignored him…always! Maybe that was the reason. But anyway, who cared? Lily asked herself. She didn't, that's for sure. Yet she couldn't stop wondering about it.

Lily entered her room and found her friend Lisa brushing her teeth in the bathroom.

"Hey Lils. What made you so angry?" she asked with her mouth stuffed with toothbrush and toothpaste.

"Nothing! I'm just having a bit of...trouble."

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, but my head hurts like hell!"

"Obviously. You were pretty wasted. Oh and I saw you leaving with Potter yesterday. Did anything...happen?" Lisa asked, a smirk playing all around her lips.

"No. Why should anything happen at all? I mean, nothing happened. I don't even remember everything."

"And uh...where did you sleep? I was here the whole night and you didn't show up," she asked suspiciouslly.

"I...fell asleep...down on the sofa. Exactly."

"Oh," Lisa said and Lily knew that hadn't convinced her at all. But Lisa knew better than to stick her nose into someone else's business if the person didn't want it.

"What were you doing the whole night?"

"Nothing specific and I am sure. You know I stopped drinking at all ever since last year when I spilled to Black I have a crush on him and he made fun of me for it. Ever since then, I don't have a crush on him," she smiled, somewhat nervously, and washed her whole face. She turned the water off and turned back to Lily, who still looked very angry and dangerous.

"Black is a stupid headed git! I would like to crush him like a little cockroach!" she yelled.

"Whoa! Lily, I know we're friends, but you don't have to be that overprotective," Lisa laughed. Lily ignored her though. She needed to talk to Potter about the whole thing. It seemed so pathetic.

The idea...And she thought Black was smart. He's freaking stupid! Pretending to be together! UGH! And she will have to kiss him. But she guessed it won't be that bad since he's not a bad kisser, but anyway. UGH! This was Potter.

"Wake up James! It's noon and we should go for lunch." Sirius was trying to wake up his best friend. When he opened his eyes and spotted him, a dangerous look appeared in his eyes.

"I can't believe you. You are such a moron, Sirius!" James yelled.

"Why?" Sirius asked innocently.

"Why? You know very well why. Because now, thanks to you, I will have to spend the whole week pretending to be Evans' boyfriend!"

"And why are you so angry? I thought you might be happy and get the chance to prove to her, you're worth it."

"But as I said, I don't fancy her anymore. Well, gotta admitt she's gorgeous and all, and hell I didn't know she could be so wild in bed, but that was before. Now, you are going to embarrass me in front of everybody."

"But James, wake up! You loved Evans ever since you first met her! What happened to change your mind?"

"She broke my heart in a way. She was mean and she's a bitch. I don't date bitches, but now I'll have to for the week!"

"I thought I'd make you happy."

"Well, you didn't."

"Come on, it'll be fun. Just act you're all in love with each other and then, in a week, it'll be over. Pretty simple."

"Simple to you maybe." James rolled his eyes and started to dress.

"You're angry, aren't you?"

"No, not at all. Actually, I'm thinking I should get you a giant present for Christmas!" James barked out sarcastically.

"I take that as a yes," Sirius sighed. "Forget it mate. Actually, I'm pretty sure that in the end, you'll thank me," Sirius grinned and James threw a pillow at him which was a sign for Sirius to finally shut up.

James and Sirius walked down into the common room which looked normal now. They caught up with Remus and Peter and went to lunch. In the Great Hall, Lily was allready sitting there with Lisa.

Sirius elbowed James. James shot him a dead glare and walked over to Lily.

"Where is he going?" Remus asked.

"You'll see," Sirius rubbed his hands with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

James made his way up to the two girls and sat next to them. Lily was surprised by that. Not right now. He put an arm around her and Lily wanted to shrug it off just like she always used to. Lisa expected Lily to shrug his arm off her shoulders also, but that didn't happen.

"Hi love," James said in a sweet tone and gave Lily a kiss on the cheek. Lisa's mouth dropped open and she dropped the spoon she was holding in her hands.

"Hi," Lily smiled nervously and made a note to herself to kill Black and his whole gang.

"Lily? James? Together? Am I dreaming?"

Important Author's Note:

Firstly, I want to thank all of you for reviewing. I really didn't expect 19 reviews for this because, personally, I'm not really satisfied with this story. But if you like it...then I shall keep on writing.

Secondly, lot of you said that you don't like James not liking Lily anymore. Well, it may be just some kind of a denial. We know that James wasn't an angel, but it must've hurt him the way Lily treated him. Although it's true we know so little that we cannot be certain.

Thirdly, I can feel it in my toes that you won't be happy with my portrayal of Lily in this story. I, myself, don't really like her. I think I was just fed up with all those LilySues that I had to write a LilyBitch, but those are getting annoying as well. Don't worry..she gets better in the future chapters. I started writing this story out of pure fun and insanity and I am not doing my best...I'm not very fond of this piece. I'm proud of some of my other stories that go unnoticed, but I don't mind because I think I captured characters and the plot well. You may say to yourself that I'm a bad author when I'm not doing my best at a story...well, that's your opinion, but this story doesn't mean that much to me. So..there.
