A/N: There is a bit of swearing in this. Sorry guys!
James was walking back to Gryffindor tower and he still had his invisibility cloak on. Did he really want to go back into the Gryffindor common room and face his three friends, the biggest prats on the planet? He was just about to mutter the password to the Fat Lady. Thinking to himself, he turned and went in the opposite direction. He could deal with Sirius and the others later. They practically ruined everything for him. Everything between him and Evans.
He glanced at his watch, it was nine o'clock and seventh years had the great privilege of being able to stay around the castle until ten.
James was walking for quite a while and the corridors of Hogwarts were deserted. He pulled off his invisibility cloak and folded it and pocketed it.
He was walking slowly and he could hear the sound of passionate kissing. James smirked, "I bet it's Padfoot - again." Sirius Black was always snogging girls in corridors; he wouldn't even stop when McGonagall threatened to kick him out of school. James was walking closer and closer and he saw two figures embraced together, a girl's arms were wrapped around the neck of the boy and they were passionately snogging. The boys arms were around the girls waist.
James gasped at the two in horror. It wasn't Sirius after all. He took off his glasses and cleaned them on his robes and put them back on again. He wished he wasn't wearing his glasses. He wished he couldn't see at all. He felt a lump in his throat. Any minute now, he knew he was going to throw up.
"Evans?" said James, his voice not sounding like his own at all, more like a high pitched squeak.
Lily jumped and her lips left the boy's. She looked behind the boy she was snogging and had a slightly embarrassed expression. "Potter, what on earth do you think you're doing out this late?" Her face was now the colour of her hair. A deep red.
The boy Lily was snogging pulled away from Lily and looked straight into James' eyes and gave him a look of pure loathing. It was a look that James was used to seeing so often. Snape looked back at Lily and started walking away, muttering to himself furiously.
Had Snape lost his mind? Snape didn't associate with anyone that wasn't pureblood.
"Oi Snivelus, you dickhead!" James yelled after him. James pulled out his wand from a pocket in his robes. He was going to torture Snape. He was going to make him feel as much pain as possible. Evans was his.
Snape kept on walking, his pace increasing with every step. He turned around for a second and shook his head and kept on walking.
"Get fucked Potter," Snape said.
James took off after him, his wand still in his hand.
"Scourgify!" James yelled and pointed his wand at Snape. James saw soap suds falling from Snape's mouth and to James' surprise, Snape didn't retaliate.
"Potter, GET BACK HERE!"
James sighed and he started walking back towards Lily. There was always time for torturing Snape later.
"What are you doing out this late?" Lily repeated her eyes on the back of Snape's head as he was walking further and further away. Her face still matched the colour or her hair.
"It's nine, we're allowed out this late." James' voice was still the horrible high pitched voice that was unlike his own.
Lily shrugged her eyes now on James. "Yeah I guess." She looked furious, she couldn't breathe properly.
"Why were you snogging him?" he said, his eyes fixed on his shoes. "He hates you, he hates anyone that's not pureblood!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" Lily glared at him furiously. "You make me sick, you need to ruin every--"
James turned around and started to walk away, ignoring the rest of Lily's lecture. He couldn't believe his eyes. He felt sick and shaky. Out of all people at this bloody school, she gets with Snape, thought James. He was definitely going back to Gryffindor tower. Wait till Padfoot hears this, he said under his breath.
He started running, the quicker he got to Gryffindor tower, the better.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Lily didn't know what had happened; she was glued to the spot. She was trying to walk, but her brain wasn't communicating to her legs. Snape and Lily were looking into each others eyes and before she knew it, they were snogging.
Was it love, was she falling in love with him? She didn't know. Yet. She saw how he looked into her eyes. She practically saw a different side to him.
Snape had always treated Lily as if she was fresh owl droppings. Deep down, she knew he didn't give a damn about her. 'How did it happen?' she asked herself.
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The Fat Lady opened the portrait hole and let James through. He was breathless, he had been running. He was still in shock of what he had encountered.
He spotted Sirius, Remus and Peter sitting and playing a game of exploding snap on a table in the common room. James walked straight past them and was heading towards the boys dormitories.
"Oi Prongs!" called Sirius, "over here mate!"
James scowled and didn't bother to turn around; he just ignored them and started running up the spiral staircase. He was furious.
Sirius, Remus and Peter exchanged looks. Remus let out a long sigh.
"He'll get over it," Peter said confidently and glanced back down at the cards. "He saw Lily naked, that can't be that depressing."
"Mmmmmm...yeah I suppose," Sirius said, his eyes still on the spiral staircase.
"Guys, leave Lily for James."
Sirius ignored Remus and suddenly got up from his seat and followed James.
"Mate, where are you going?" Peter asked.
"Sirius, give him some space. We practically just went barging in the bathroom Evans was using." Remus said in a serious tone and could Peter could see a slight frown forming on Remus' forehead.
Sirius had reached the spiral staircase and started running up it quickly. He entered the dormitory and saw James lying down on his bed looking rather depressed.
"You prat, what's up?"
James looked up and started shaking his head, apparently didn't know what to say.
"If it's about the bathroom, you're an idiot. You've done the same shit to me, remember?" Sirius said with a smirk and he sat down on his own bed which was opposite James'.
James looked up, still didn't know what to say. He then put his head in his hands.
"So c'mon, get over it, you saw Evans naked. It couldn't be that bad."
"It's not that," James said finally.
"Well what is it then?" Sirius asked in a bored voice, still sitting on his bed.
"I saw something," James admitted quietly, his eyes fixed on the floor.
"That's what eyes are for, remember?"
James groaned.
"Okay, what did you see? Snivellus picking his nose and scratching his balls in public?" Sirius said jokingly and let out a bark-like laugh. "Wouldn't be the first time."
James swore loudly and was breathing heavily. "I'm going to murder that kid."
"Mate, we all do that." Sirius gave him a lopsided grin and started taking off his shoes. He threw them carelessly on the floor.
"HE WAS SNOGGING EVANS!" James finally burst out, he looked up at Sirius and then put his head back in his hands. "I SAW THEM TOGETHER- THEY COULDN'T KEEP THEIR HANDS OFF EACH OTHER!" James finished, yelling at the top of his voice.
"Were you wearing your glasses?"
James muttered something that sounded like, "Black you're a bloody prat."
Sirius had started laughing uncontrollably. "Shit excuse. I know you're pissed 'bout the whole bathroom thing."
"Sirius." James let out an exasperated sigh and was starting to get impatient. He scrunched up his hair and put his head back in his hands.
"You're not kidding are you?"
There was a long silence and both Sirius and James heard footsteps. Remus and Peter stepped into the dormitory.
"We were going to give you space, but we heard yelling and we thought it might get fatal," Remus said, looking at both Sirius and James and then exchanged a smirk with Peter.
"Care to explain?" Peter asked as he shut the dormitory door behind him.
"Prongs is thinking of murdering," Sirius told them in an affectionate tone. "I don't blame him."
"I don't think Prongs would want to murder anyone." Remus said casually.
"I wouldn't either," Sirius admitted.
Remus raised his eyebrows, "Sirius. You were capable of murder at the age of sixteen. You nearly killed Snape and you were going to make me a murderer, without realising."
Sirius was stroking his chin, "He's an exception. He's allowed to be murdered."
"Shut up Black, don't talk like that you prat." Remus said and then he turned to James. "So Prongs, what happened?"
James finally took his head out of his hands and said miserably, "fucking hell, why does Evans have to snog Snape for?"
"What?" both Remus and Peter said at the same time looking at James with an expression of horror on their faces.
Sirius nodded his head disapprovingly, "That's right guys. Evans gave the greasy git a change before Prongs."
Peter let out a long whistle. "Now this is going to get ugly."
"Yeah I can see it now," Remus said. "Love triangle."
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
It was late. James knew his friends were sleeping. Well he hoped so anyway. He got up out of his bed and grabbed his invisibility cloak which was folded in his trunk.
He opened the dormitory door and started walking down the spiral staircase. He had reached the common room and found it deserted. It was dark and the fire was almost gone. He didn't know why he brought his invisibility cloak. It was more of a comfort thing.
He lay down on one of the soft, comfy couch that was directly opposite the non-existent fire. The common room was cold. He pulled the invisibility cloak on top of him, like a blanket.
He had one thing on his mind. Well one person on his mind. Two words. Lily Evans. He couldn't get her out of his head. He had liked her since the end of the fourth year. He knew that he was never going to get a chance with her. She thought he was a conceited, show off prat.
He sighed and glanced at his watch. It was 3 am.
James heard the closing of the portrait. Who on earth was around at this time? He would've suspected one of his friends, but they were all up in the dormitories.
James suddenly put his head under the cloak, so now all of him was invisible. He heard footsteps. He wanted to get up and investigate, but it would've been too obvious as the common was deathly quiet.
The footsteps were getting louder and closer. He felt someone sit on his stomach and the invisibility cloak slid off his face.
"Potter!" Lily gasped.
