Come on you KNOW I don't own anyone...you keep rubbing it in my face!
-------------Why did I fall for your charms?-------------
"You know Evans sometimes I wish I was invisible"
"Oh do you now Potter" I said sounding extremely beyond bored. We were walking back to the common room because, unfortunately, we both had a free period. The other Marauders lagged behind, talking to each other.
"Do you know why I wish I was invisible?"
"Nope" I said dryly, examining my nails.
"Do you want me to tell you why I wish I was invisible?" He asked.
"Not really no"
"Well I'll tell you" He carried on, oblivious to the fact I had bluntly told him I didn't really care. "Because if I was invisible I would be able to watch you in the sh-"
"Say it Potter and I'll gauge out your eye balls so you couldn't see anyway" I threatened.
"Well that's not a very nice thing to say is it?" He asked. Looking a little disgruntled by my violent threats.
"Neither is telling someone you want to watch them in the shower" I said bluntly, pointing my nose to the ceiling in an attempt to look taller.
"You're short" He laughed.
"Maybe you're just tall" I snarled.
"It's not a bad thing, being short" He said, "It means I can do this" And without warning he had his arms wrapped round my waist and was picking me up from the ground kicking and screaming. He started soaring down the corridor like a pig on speed.
"Put me DOWN Potter!" I screamed, pounding him on the back in an eager attempt to make him put me down.
"Why? Don't you like being tall?"
"Potter, do you know why I like being short?"
"No, never thought to ask"
"It's because I'm AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!" He had picked up speed and we were literally hurtling down the corridor, he lifted me to his shoulders and I clung onto his head for dear life.
"Having fun Evans?" He shouted, laughing his head off.
"NOOOOO!" I yelled. He must have been really strong because he was running so fast I thought my eyes were going to sink into my skull. My hair billowed wildly behind me and I was beginning to feel a little nauseous.
"Don't worry Evans we're nearly there" He said looking up slightly.
"Oh Potter, when I get down from here I am so going to kill you!" I screeched like a banshee.
"Well I better not take you down then" He laughed.
"No! No you can take me down, I won't kill you" I lied.
"Oh yes you will"
"I know" I smiled a little.
"Hold on Lily, we have to go down a floor"
"You mean we're going down…no Potter NO DON'T YOU DARE!" I screamed. He hurtled down the stair case making me bump up and down against his shoulders.
"Great way of bonding isn't it Evans?" He laughed some more.
"One day Potter, you'll get what's coming to you, and I hope it has something to do with you and a life time sentence in Azkaban!" I yelled some more.
"Is that before or after we get married and have a bunch of dashing, ginger children?"
"Potter it's a life sentence, you do the math" I sneered, he was pretty stupid. "Anyway red hair is a dominant gene, means we both have to be ginger for any ginger babies"
"How'd you know that?" He asked, not slowing down one bit.
"I read, unlike some"
"Hey I read"
"Yeah, porn magazines"
"How'd you know?" He smirked; well I suspected he was smirking. I couldn't actually see because I had now closed my eyes in fear of seeing myself tumble to my early death. When the poor soul lucky enough to find me dead finds me I wanted my eyes to be closed…other wise it was just freaky. I wished I had written a will now. Too late for that now though.
"Potter if you slow down I'll call you by your first name" I said.
"No you won't"
"Well…I'll go on a date with you then" I said hurriedly.
"Oh Lily, my dearest Lily, you can't lie to save you life you know that"
"That's what I'm trying to do, LIE TO SAVE MY LIFE!" I screeched as he suddenly came to an abrupt halt outside the portrait hole to the Gryffindor tower.
"Filibusters" James said. I opened my eyes to see the Fat Lady eyeing me. She swung open and James ducked and stepped inside.
"Finally" I breathed.
"Here you go Red" He said dropping me onto the couch.
"You know Potter, I think you've given me a heart attack" I panted.
"Don't suppose you need any mouth to mouth by any chance?" He asked smirking. I sighed.
"No James I don't think I do" I clasped a hand to my mouth. I was not supposed to call him James!
"Lily"
"Yes Potter" I asked cautiously.
"You have really pretty eyes" Gawd this boy was thick. I had just said his first name for the first time in…like ever and all he could say was 'you have really pretty eyes'.
"So do you Potter" I said.
"Thanks, oh and Lily"
"Yes"
"Thanks for calling me James" He said smiling.
"You're welcome…Potter" I said grinning. He narrowed his eyes at me, a lopsided grin still plastered to his face. He picked up a cushion and whacked me with it. My eyes widened and I also picked one up, getting him right in the mouth. We were in the middle of a pretty good cushion fight before we heard the portrait door swing open and the rest of Potter's posse walk in.
"Oh no Moony they're mutilating each other, hold them back" Sirius shouted over our outrageous giggling and cursing.
We looked up to see them standing there not sure whether to run far away or break us up. I looked at James and James at me. We picked up our ammo and bombarded the three figures standing in the door way.
"Hey, watch it" Remus shouted.
"Ouch that was my…were it hurts" Peter squealed, grabbing parts of his body I hoped never to encounter. I high fived Potter and continued my unbearable laughter.
"You have such a nice laugh Lily" James said propping himself on one elbow on the top of the couch.
"Potter, I can just about bear you, don't spoil it" I laughed and threw one last pillow at him making him topple backwards off of the couch and onto a heap on the floor.
"Oh Evans I will get you for that" He laughed chasing me up the girls dorm stairs. The stairs turned into a slide and he slipped over. I managed to grab hold of the banister before falling down and hauled myself into my dorm room. I stack my tongue out at his small figure all heaped up on the floor and slammed shut my door.
I fell back onto my bed and thought of ways to prank Potter. I know I know I just had a brilliant time with him and now I was thinking of ways to make him cry, but if I didn't then people would start to talk. And trust me when I say that rumours spread like the plague in Hogwarts.
I soon got bored of thinking of ways to torment the said forth James Potter and got a head start on my Herbology homework.
"Name three properties of the Nocens Nidor plant" I stack the end of my quill and my mouth and quickly spit it out when remembering it was a feather of some poor dead bird somewhere. I tapped my fingers against my desk.
"Well for a start it reeks" I looked to the door way to see James standing there.
"Potter, h-h-HOW?" I asked baffled, barely able to get the words out.
"Used this" He said flinging his broomstick into my room.
"Potter that's…get out!" I yelled at him. Pointing to the door way.
"Ok, ok keep your wig on Evans" He said holding his hands up and grinning.
"You are despicable you know that"
"Yeah I do" He said with that same grin covering his whole face.
"I'm telling McGonagall about this as soon as classes finish" I said, my face going red with anger. He advanced towards me still smirking.
"I'm sure you will" He kept coming closer and I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
"Stay away Potter or I'll scream" I threatened, leaning back in my seat.
"And who's going to come to your rescue Lily? Everyone down there is a boy"
"I'm sure they aren't all boys…are they?"
"Unless that hairy kid in 7th year is actually a girl, which I highly doubt"
"Potter I'm not joking, back away, you wouldn't dare rape me"
"Course I wouldn't rape you" I breathed out. "By the time I've finished with you you'll be all up for it" He grinned.
"You wish Potter!" I snarled standing up quickly and making my chair fall over. He was walking closer towards me and then suddenly something inside of me made me also walk towards him.
"See the Potter charm is working already" He grinned. Suddenly my pace picked up and I was hurtling towards him. His eyes widened as I, out of nowhere, pounced on him.
"You should have just left it as it was Potter, I for once could stand the sight of you and you went and tried to be smart, I do NOT give into temptation that easily" I was on top of him on the floor tugging at his collar.
"Oh I'm sure you do Lily" My eyes narrowed into slits and I opened my mouth to speak when all of a sudden he had flipped me over and instead he was on top of me.
"Get off me!" I screamed kicking him in the balls.
"Ouch!" He gasped. He locked down my arms to the side of my body and stopped my legs from flailing about by trapping them underneath his own.
"I told you Potter; if you want to still be able to make children when you're older I suggest you get the bloody hell off of me"
"Oh Evans you are naughty, are you proposing that we make babies?"
"Oh Potter you are bloody annoying, do you propose to get the hell off of me, I think you've broken my pelvic bone" I winced, attempting to make my 'injury' sound more realistic.
"Yeah right Evans, I'm not even putting any pressure there…yet" He grinned, looking hungrily down at me.
"Oh give it a rest Potter; I am never going to fall for your charms. Now get the hell off me and the hell out of my room you scummy intruder!" I yelled, breaking free of his grip and kicking him forcefully in the shin. He winced in pain as I pushed him through the door way and all the way down the stairs; he stumbled and fell, rolling down the remaining stairs to the bottom of the staircase. "Oh and take this piece of crap with you!" I yelled flinging is broomstick at him. I heard Remus mutter something about it 'not going so well then' and I slammed shut my door and leaned against it panting heavily. I know I shouldn't have been but I was quite scared. He seemed pretty serious about everything and at one point I was about to give in to him.
But no, I would NOT give into James Potter's charm! Not now not ever! Though it was going to prove hard…
----------------------------------
"Hey Lils, do you have any idea why Potter's crying downstairs?" Sandy and I were talking in our dorm room at the end of lessons.
"He's crying!"
"Well not really crying as such but he looks in a lot of pain, I wish I knew who had made him all messed up like that, I would shake their hand. In fact I would probably give them a snog" She said plonking herself down on the edge of her bed.
"Oh please don't" I grimaced.
"Why not? It wasn't Black or anyone was it? Because if it was I take that back" She said hurriedly holding her hands up in defence.
"No…I did it, I pushed him down the stairs"
"Wow Lily way to go girl!" She said giving me a high five. "You don't look too happy bout it though" She added looking at my sad looking expression.
"No I'm not, well I am but…you don't know the whole story yet" I told her the actual events leading up to me pushing him down the stairs and she listened intently, hanging onto every word I said like it was a hilarious joke. When I had finished she burst out laughing. "It's really not that funny" I scowled folding my arms across my chest and turning to face the wall.
"No Lily I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing but it's just…just so, funny!" She said laughing even more.
"Excuse me Potter nearly raped me!" I said getting flustered.
"Oh Lily by the sounds of it I think he was only teasing" She said wiping a tear from her eye.
"Sure he was" I said rolling my eyes.
"But he picked you up?" She said sounding like she somehow couldn't believe it.
"Yes! He just lifted me up from the ground and started running down the corridor like a maniac, I thought he was going to kill me!" I said, hugging my pillow to my chest.
"Oh Lily I am sorry but that is so blooming hilarious!" She laughed hysterically and fell off her bed.
"For you maybe" I growled lobbing the pillow at her. She had pretty good reflexes and grabbed the pillow just in time before it hit her in the head.
"And you had a pillow fight?"
"Well it was more of cushion fight but yeah"
"Oh Lily, my dearest Lily, you have the hotts for this guy" She laughed flinging the pillow back at me.
"What! I do NOT!" I shouted, burying my head in the pillow and screaming in frustration.
"Sure you don't Lily, that's why you've been playing games with him for the last few hours" She grinned.
"No I haven't been playing games, he has. All these mind games and stuff" I said scowling at the thought of him on top of me pinning me down.
"And you're finally becoming attracted to him" She said smiling.
"Well kin- NO I am NOT!" I shouted turning away from her.
"Sure Lily but we all now it's down there somewhere inside of you waiting to burst out any second now, you can't hide it anymore girl, you know you like James Potter and no matter how hard you try to ignore it it's still going to be there bugging you for ever and ever and ev-" She said, one eyebrow raised with a smirk that made her look oh so evil but I butt in before she could finish her sentence.
"JUST SHUT UP WILL YOU! I KNOW I LIKE JAMES POTTER BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN I'M GOING TO BOTHER PERSUING MY FEELINGS AND LET MYSELF FALL INTO A VORTEX OF HURT, DESPAIR AND AGONY THAT IS SURE TO FOLLOW FROM A REALTIONSHIP WITH HIM!" I shouted so loudly that I choked on my own saliva and fell off the bed whilst clutching my throat and gasping for breath.
"So she finally admitted it then" Alice laughed, I turned to look at were the voice came from and saw her and Daisy standing there in the door frame smirks plastered on their faces.
"Yep, exactly as we had planned" She laughed helping me up from the floor.
"You mean you planned this!" I asked giving them one of my death glares.
"Well…yeah kind of" Daisy laughed.
"By the way Lily you were really loud…I'm surprised no one heard you" Alice said walking into the room and sitting down on my bed.
"Oh no" I groaned, "Potter isn't still in the common room is he?"
"Nope"
"Oh thank goodness" I breathed.
"He's here" She said gesturing lazily to the door.
"Did someone call me?" He asked smirking, leaning against the door frame.
"No" I said bluntly.
"Potter I told you not to keep doing that" Sandy said shaking her head.
"You know we could get you suspended for that" Alice added in pointing her finger at him.
"Ah well, who's going to tell on me?" He said winking at us.
"Just get out and stop coming into our dorm when we obviously don't want you here!" I screamed at him. He looked a little taken aback and stumbled backwards like the power in my voice had given him a push.
"Always the feisty one hey Evans" He said sheepishly. I grumbled a few curses I didn't want to repeat on paper at him and went into a strop.
"I think it would be better if you just left Potter" Daisy said sighing.
"But I-"
"I said LEAVE!" She screamed stepping threateningly towards him which made him run for his life. If I wasn't in such a temper I would have laughed at this but the case was the opposite. I was mortified. How could I have admitted such feelings towards a boy I was sure I only held hatred too? Life was so complicated sometimes...
