Chapter 16: Damn It

Lily woke up to hear her alarm go off at about 5 a.m. in the morning. She had charmed her alarm so that only she could hear it.

Lily hopped out of bed, and walked down to the common room, charming herself so that she was as quiet as could be.

After reaching Gryffindor Tower, Lily saw James waiting for her.

Conjuring up a few buckets of super glue, Lily walked to the boy's dorm with the buckets behind her, floating lazily.

James had the feathers and chicken mask. Lily laughed quietly at Sirius, who was snoring, curled up at the foot of his bed.

Lily put the buckets down and charmed Sirius to lift up and hang like a mannequin so they could do their job.

Lily and James spread the glue all over Sirius with their wands.

"Get a nice even coating!" James joked, and Lily giggled.

Lily then threw the feathers all over Sirius, and James lowered him onto his bed.

Lily super glued the mask to Sirius's face, and James made the super glue extra permanent with a sticking charm.

Lily charmed a sign onto his back saying, "Kick me, I'm chicken." She didn't really get it, but she really didn't care. It was, after, all 5 in the morning.

Lily and James left Gryffindor Tower almost bursting with laughter. Halfway down the hall, Lily saw James had begun to talk, and Lily slapped her hand over his mouth. Lily heard the feet of someone walking fast up to where Lily and James were standing, and she panicked when she heard the mutterings of the school caretaker, Filch.

James muttered, "Act natural. Pretend we're on patrol."

"At 5 in the morning?" Lily whisper-shrieked, and James nodded.

"What are students doing out of bed- evil, nasty, dirty students!" Filch muttered, catching sight of Lily and James.

James whispered in her ear, "Follow my lead." Lily nodded, hesitantly, and turned to look at Filch.

"What are you doing out of bed?" hissed Filch, leering at James and Lily.

"Lily's got a fever, and I need to get her to the Hospital Wing." James said, quite convincingly. Lily waved her wand behind her back, and her face started to look flushed, and she felt very, very fatigued. Filch was glaring at them the whole way, but he let them pass.

James turned the corner that led would lead them to the Hospital Wing, grabbed at a tapestry and pulled Lily into a secret passage. Lily removed the fever spell and suddenly felt fine.

"Wow. That went better than expected." Lily muttered, while the two of them were walking in a deserted hallway.

"Lily, are you coming to my Quidditch match tomorrow?" James asked, casually.

"Do you think I'd miss my boyfriend's match against Slytherin?" Lily said, laughing slightly.

James shook his head, also laughing. "No, I didn't really think so. But you, Lily, are unique. You could do something unexpected." Lily laughed at James's words.

"You're right, I'm so unexpected." Lily said, smiling in the dark.

Walking the rest of the way, chatting quietly, James and Lily reached their dormitory and went to bed.

Lily woke up the next morning, eager to watch James play. She pulled on her favorite jeans and a blue turtleneck, and dragged on her cloak.

Lily ran out of her room, seeing that James was probably already out at the pitch. She raced down the stairs, smiling slightly.

Lily stepped outside, and the cold air gave her a shock. The slight fog covered the Quidditch Pitch, and Lily walked up to the stands where she would be sitting with her friends.

"Did the game start?" Lily has Alanna as she sat down.

"No, but it's about to." Alanna answered, staring earnestly at the commentator's position in the stands. Remus was commentating.

The game went well enough, with Gryffindor winning by quite a lead.

As the players landed, Lily rushed down to congratulate James.

As she walked up, she saw a Slytherin sneak up behind James with their wand raised. Lily sub-consciously reached for her wand, but she was too late.

James lay on the ground, his blood staining the grass.

Lily screamed, her eyes full of tears, and she cursed the Slytherin with several of her worst curses mixed together.

Running to James's side, Lily called out, "Someone, get a teacher!" She saw Dumbledore coming, and taking James up on an invisible stretcher.

Lily saw herself getting up and following James and Dumbledore to the Hospital Wing. Lily saw James on a hospital bed, and she saw herself sitting next to him, holding his hand.

Lily was sitting at a bed, fully conscious, for once, about the things that had happened. James opened his eyes, and Lily grinned happily.

James sat up, and Lily hugged him tight.

"Um, hello." James said, and Lily heard a note of confusion.

"Hi, James! I can't believe you're awake and okay!" Lily said, smiling at him, expecting him to ask her what happened.

But he asked something unexpected. "Who are you?"

Lily sat back, confused.

"What do mean, James? I'm Lily Evans, your girlfriend."

"I don't have a girlfriend." James said, looking at her with suspicion.

"Excuse me, Lily, may I speak with you?" Dumbledore said, from behind Lily.

Lily stood and walked over to Dumbledore.

"I was afraid this would happen." Dumbledore said, sighing. "He lost his memory."

Lily said fearfully, "Will he never have his memory back?"

"Well, he does have a serious case of amnesia. But it's actually temporary, and part of the curse used on him."

Lily sighed with relief. "What will help him to recovery?" she asked.

"Remind him of everything, talk to him, talk his memory back. It'll help. He probably lost only his short term memory, mostly stuff he learned recently or maybe a month or two back."

"Okay. He said he doesn't remember us dating, that was from about 2 months back, I guess."

"Ms. Evans, don't bombard him. H had serious brain damage, we fixed him. Don't upset him, okay?"

Lily nodded, and she turned to face James, who was sitting up in bed, looking confused.

Lily put on a fake smile and walked to James.

James smiled slightly as she came back. "I remember you, Evans. But we aren't dating, like you said."

"Sorry, that was a slip of tongue." Lily said, regretting each word, like they were poison.

"Well, I do remember you're supposed to hate me, really." Lily smiled, as he said that. It was true. James was back the same way he had been two or three months ago, a giant prick.

"We don't hate each other really, but I guess we're not friends." Lily said.

"Why am I in the Hospital Wing? Last thing I remember is dropping you in the mud." James laughed as he remembered the incident, that had left Lily boiling mad.

"Oh, you kind of got cursed and you landed here. You can't remember the last three months because you kind of got hurt bad." Lily didn't exactly tell the truth, but didn't lie either.

"So, you're saying you cursed me hard enough to land me in here for three months?"

"Er…" Lily said, looking at her feet.

"No probs. I think it's funny. You were destined to eventually give me lasting damage." James laughed, standing up.

Lily sighed. "We've got a lot of catching up to do." Lily said, smiling sadly.

Lily took James up to their dorm, re-showing him all the wonders. The whole time, he kept two or three steps behind her, avoiding her gaze. Lily was frustrated.

By the time they finished the tour, Lily was spitting mad.

"Getting your friggin' memory erased in no reason for you to change completely!" Lily shouted at him, once back in the common room.

"What?" James said, confused. He seemed to be really confused lately…

"Ugh! You were at a Quidditch match, Slytherin lost as usual, a stupid idiot attacked you, and you were out for the night! But you woke up, with temporary amnesia!" Lily shouted at him.

James stood there, his jaw dropped.

"Shall I add to the epic tale? We were quite happily dating, you wake up and won't believe me, and I have to pretend my boyfriend hates me!" Lily shrieked out each word, and turned toward her room and ran to her bed, locking the door.

She heard James knock on her door, then walk away.

Lily sat their, on her bed, moping for a while. 'Ugh! I feel horrible.'

Lily realized she was being ridiculous, and she got up and went to the common room. James was sitting on the couch, staring at the fire.

"Hi James." Lily said, sullenly.

"Hi, Lily." James said, looking at her.

"Were we really dating?" James asked, staring at Lily.

"Yes." Lily said, simply.

"I suppose I believe it." James said, staring at the fire again.

"Dumbledore said you'll get your memory back, by tomorrow or so."

"Good. I kind of miss it, you know?" James said, chuckling.

Lily laughed slightly. "Sorry for freaking out. You were, well, acting like a jerk, really. Like you did last year."

"Sorry." James said. Lily got up and went to her room.

The next day Lily woke up suddenly, and the first thing she saw was giant hazel eyes.

"Woah!" Lily sat up, and James was smiling from beside her bed.

"What the bloody hell-" Lily started, but she stopped when she noticed his huge grin.

"I remember something!" James aid, ecstatically.

"Yeah? What?" Lily said, yawning.

"I remember kissing you once, and asking you out!" James said, his voice filled with glee.

"Good for you. Did you have to wake me up at 7 a.m. on a Sunday to tell me that?" Lily said, yawning greatly. She thumped back onto her pillows.

"Um, Lily, it's the day of a huge quiz in History of Magic. Not Sunday." James said, his voiced barely covering his laughter.

"What?" Lily said, hopping out of bed. She tried to pull her socks on while hopping around, trying to find her notes.

"I'm kidding Lily!" James said, bursting with laughter.

"You idiot!" Lily said, slightly smiling.

James laughed. Lily walked over to her bed, and threw herself down onto it.

"I don't feel like getting up." Lily whined.

"Too bad. Your friends miss you!" James said, smiling again.

"Yah, well, tell them to bugger off. I'm tired." Lily said, her face buried in her pillow.

"C'mon, Lily! I wanted to show you something." James whined, pouting.

"Urgh." Lily grumbled from inside her pillow.

"Fine." Lily suddenly found herself upside down, pajamas and all.

"Put me down, you imbecile!" Lily shrieked, her hair flying everywhere.

"No can do." James said, laughing.

James levitated her down the stairs, cast a spell that she was dressed in her uniform and walked outside, all with her floating along side him.

Lily grumbled all the way down the hall, and when James set her on the floor, Lily had to restrain herself from tackling him.

When they walked into the Great Hall, Lily gasped. The hall was snowing! Like, a real blizzard!

"What did you do, James?" Lily said, barely able to hear herself over the wind.

"Me and the marauders modified the weather spell on the ceiling to actually snow. It's not cold snow, though. But it's a little windy."

Lily groaned, and started thinking of ways to get rid of all the snow.

After Lily got rid of the storm, though, James was no wear in sight.

"What in bloody hell is he up to…" Lily thought uneasily. It was bad enough that it was 7:30 a.m. on a Sunday and she wasn't in bed, but now her boyfriend disappeared on her? Oh, this was a happy morning.

Lily searched for James around the Great Hall,w here wind-swept students were sitting under the tables to protect them from the past storm.

Lily eventually gave up and went to sleep until noon, then did homework. She's such a lively girl, isn't she?

"Demented. Absolutely demented." Lily grumbled, just coming from Care of Magical Creatures.

"I know. Those stupid billywigs are gonna have me floating for a week." James said, walking a few inches off the ground, on thin air.

"Not that. Have you even noticed the stinking calendar lately?"

"Uh…. No." James said, walking up a wall so he was levitating 20 feet in the air, and his feet a few inches from the wall.

"Get down. And, James, we have a little over a month to plan and execute this stupid Yule Ball."

"Great, now your official first date with me is stupid?" James asked as he walked down from the wall.

"Bite me, James."

"Gladly!" James laughed. The two entered the Great Hall for dinner just as about 20 gallons of ice cold water fell onto Lily and James.

"Sirius!" James roared. The afore mentioned culprit stood up, gave a short bow, and sprinted past James and Lily out into the hallway.

Lily caught James by the collar just in time to keep him from running off after Sirius.

"We're gonna eat, because without the nourishment you might become so light you levitate yourself up to the sky." James grinned at Lily's words, and he walked over to the table.

James tried to sit down, but ended up three inches above the seat, making it hard for him to eat, because he kept moving up and down on accident.

Lily laughed and grabbed a plate, and heaped it with food. She was starving. Lily also had to think hard about the Yule Ball, because she had no ideas about what she and James would do.

"Hey, James, I have an idea for the Yule Ball!" Alanna said.

"What si it?" James asked, his half-chewed food spraying all over.

"Ew, James, don't talk with your mouth full. Well, anyway, I was thinking about having floating mistletoe, that doesn't let you out until you kiss the person you got caught with."

"That's been done before, but good idea." Lily said, while eating her sandwich. Anya laughed.

"Of course it's been done before, especially by horny seventh year boys with nothing better to do." Lily laughed at Anya's take of things.

Sirius walked over to the table, cautiously. He saw that Lily and James were not giving him murderous glares, so he grabbed a plate and sat down.

"Sorry about the water, guys, had to do it really."

"You did, Sirius? I really don't see why." Lily said, glaring at him. James raised his eyebrow and laughed.

"Yeah, I had to, seeing as you covered me with feathers before the big Quidditch match!" Sirius said, giving Lily an evil glare of his own.

"Oh, about that, it was actually because of your really gay Playboy bunny crap you pulled. You know, thanks for that, now we have a good blackmail." Lily said, rolling her eyes.

"Huh?" Sirius asked, confused.

"We know your weakness for cute little bunnies." James said, laughing. Sirius glared at them, while shoving food into his mouth.

The bell rang, and Lily hopped up along with James and Alanna. They raced off to Ancient Runes, which proved to be very boring that day, mostly notes and a pop quiz that of course, Lily was prepared for.

By the end of the day, the whole group was muttering how evil teachers were. Lily and James decided, after dinner and homework, they would work on the Yule Ball plans.

Lily was extremely tired, but managed to stay awake with James to plan some of the Yule Ball. As was usual, the food would be summoned by menus, and there would be lots of dancing.

Lily decided that everyone could come, but the 4th years and below had to leave at 8. The dance was to be from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

James argued that it would be way long, but Lily countered it with saying that all the years needed a chance.

See, she pictured it that 5th years and above probably wouldn't come until 8, when the younger year's left, so it actually would only be about 2 hours of a dance for them.

"But what about us?" whined James. "We have to be there the whole time, and if you're right, half of the time with a bunch of whiny little firsties!"

"Suck it up, buddy boy." Lily said, teasingly. "We'll just eat early and spend the rest of the time dancing. We have to open the dance anyway."

James pouted, but was happily busy charming the mistletoe, and practicing with himself and Lily. Unfortunately for him, instead of not being able to get out, they got sprayed with plant fertilizer potion, and then let out of the charmed plant's hold.

"Okay, gotta work on that…" James muttered, cleaning himself off with a spell, along with Lily. It was near midnight when Lily called it quits, and they both went to bed, unhappy that it was Monday, and had a week left of school.

Hi people! Sorry for not writing for so long. I've been tired, and sick, and school has been murder (three tests in two days! UNFAIR!)

But I've updated and rewritten that piece of crap I shamefully posted as chapter 16.

Here's the deal: I'm not going to answer any reviews today. All my review responses are going to be from chapter 17 and up, okay? Or atleast, all people who reviews chapter 16 recently won't get ehir reviews answered, sorry.
