I own no one and nothing I have one day to live...These are all lies except the one that says I own no one, because I am not JK Rowling, the end.
Sorry the chapters short btw, and a bit crap too...it will get better I promise!
------------Why did I fall for your charms?-------------
"Lily I am going to make a deal with you" Sandy said bluntly standing in front of my bed that evening.
"Erm…Ok?"
"If I don't go out with Sirius you have to go out with James"
"WHAT!" I screamed at her. She flinched and steadied herself on my bed post.
"That's my deal. Either I go out with Sirius and you don't go out with James, or you go out with James and I don't go out with Sirius."
"But you know I would never agree to that!"
"Exactly" She said grinning. I glared at her then smiled sweetly.
"I guess me and James have a date then don't we" She raised an eyebrow and glared at me also.
"Oh Lily! You're supposed to be my friend!" She whined, sitting down on the bed and sulking.
"Friends don't test each other Sunny; friends are kind to their friends"
"Yeah well, you smell" She said sticking her tongue out at me. I couldn't help but laugh at this and my laughing made her laugh and all of a sudden we were the best of friends again and rolling round on the floor laughing our socks off. "So you're really going to go on a date with James then?" She asked with surprisingly absolutely no malice in her voice.
"I guess, but it's not to be spiteful, you must know that" I added quickly.
"Oh I know" She said nodding, a stupid grin plastered on her face.
"You know?" I asked her.
"Yes, you just love James"
"Excuse me, I do not!" I laughed throwing a pillow in her direction.
"Yeeeeeah sure you don't" She laughed grabbing the pillow with her hand and sending it back at me.
"What I don't!" I said with a guilty voice.
"Don't try it Evans, I can read you like a book"
"You can read?" I laughed. She gave me a small glare and tweaked my nose with the end of her long finger.
"How cute" She mocked. "You have such a wit"
"I have been told" I mused fluttering my eyelashes and pouting. Sandy crossed her eyes and stuck her tongue out the side of her mouth.
"Hey I look just like you" She said, My jaw dropped open and I got her full in the face with another pillow.
"It's more like this" I said puffing my cheeks out and looking down so only the whites of my eyes were showing.
"Oh gross" She laughed. Well, let's just say there was a lot of laughter going on that night.
-------------------------
I dreaded the next morning from the moment I awoke. The only good thing about it was it was Friday and tomorrow would be Hogsmeade; wait that was bad wasn't it? Because I had to ask out Potter… (Shudders)
"Hi Potter" I said, as warmly as I could without throwing up.
"Are you talking to me?" He asked stupidly, glancing round the common room quickly.
"No stupid I'm talking to the bloody Queen of Engl- I mean, of course silly, why wouldn't I be?" I asked, fluttering my eyelashes and twiddling my hair.
"Because you, err, hate me" He said, raising an eyebrow, a curious look on his face.
"Oh my GOD James, why would you think something like that?" I asked like some kind of illiterate blonde.
"Because you told me" He said slowly.
"NO, that couldn't have been me" I giggled furiously. What was I doing to my good name?
"I think it was. Lily are you feeling alright?"
"I'm feeling ecstatic James"
"You are aware you're calling me James aren't you?" God could this boy get any stupider? Here I was throwing myself at him and all he can say is 'you are aware you're calling me James' what an idiot.
"Well yes, of course I am silly, why wouldn't I" Maybe I shouldn't be encouraging him with questions after all.
"Because you prefer Potter?"
"Erm…So James, why haven't you asked me out yet?"
Oh right, I thought after yesterday I would maybe give you a day to, you know, cool off"
"And…"
"I'm not going to ask you out for a whole day" He said puffing put his chest all manly like and smiling.
"What?" I asked dumb founded, all of this was for nothing?
"I said I'm not go-"
"I know what you said stupid I'm just pissed about it" I said giving up on my bouncy, girly composure and bringing back my hard and stony one.
"Oh…why?"
"Were you just born stupid or did you get dropped on your head as a child!" I growled at him, clenching my fists.
"I, well I-"
"Oh stop your inconstant moaning Potter and just ask me out"
"But I-"
"I SAID ASK ME OUT POTTER OR I'LL KNOCK YOU THROUGH THIS HERE WALL YOU HERE ME!" I roared at him. He stumbled backwards a little and he looked a little terrified.
"Ok, ok woman! Will you go out with me?"
"Yes" I smiled.
"What?"
"I said yes"
"You said yes?"
"Yes, I said yes"
"Really?"
"Yes" I said getting angrier by the second.
"You really mean it?"
"Yes Potter!" I sighed getting even more irritated.
"You're not going to stand me up or anything?"
"FOR HEAVENS SAKE POTTER I'M NOT GOING TO BLOODY STAND YOU UP, NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I DO SOMETHING YOU REALLY WILL REGRET!" I bellowed, going red in the face. He yelped and scurried off, leaving me standing there panting.
-------------------------------------------
That day I had 2 more date proposals which genuinely surprised me, maybe fat and ugly was the new beautiful. I had to gently turn them down and one of them even cried a little. This made me sad. But I learned to live with it.
So I was coming out of my Charms lesson in the afternoon and I bumped straight into Richard who seemed to be conveniently standing outside the class room.
I smiled warmly at him and said a small sorry for accidentally kneeing him in the shin when he took me by surprise. I was just about to walk away when his hand shot out and grabbed my arm. I looked down at it then back up at him.
"Can we talk?" He asked, not waiting for an answer but pulling me into a dark corner by the stairwell instead.
"Sure" I said when he had let go of my arm.
"So, Hogsmeade's coming up" He said matter of factly.
"Yeah" I said looking away from his gaze.
"So doyouwannagowithme?" He asked, I guess he was the shy type then.
"Sorry?"
"Do you want to go with…me?" He asked screwing his face up and waiting for my rejection.
"I err, well I…"
"No, no that's fine, I err, it's ok if you don't want to I was just-"
"I would love to" I smiled a false smile, what had I just gotten myself into?
"You would?" He asked, beaming.
"Sure"
"Great well, well I guess I'll be seeing you then" He said smiling.
"Sooner than you think" I said smiling weakly. I felt sick, I felt dirty and I felt torn.
-----------------------------------------------------------
" Alice I have a problem" I grumbled, collapsing onto my bed that evening.
"I know Lily but I think you need psychiatric help for that"
"Not the time Bubbles" I snapped smothering myself with my pillow.
"Don't do that Lils, you'll suffocate"
"I know that Blondie, that's why I'm doing it"
"Ok Lily what's the matter?"
"I'm going to Hogsmeade with James tomorrow"
"Well that's great!" She said smiling.
"I'm also going with Richard"
"Huh?"
"I said I would go with Richard as well"
"Well who did you say yes to first?"
"James"
"Then go with him"
"But I don't wanna"
"Then why did you say yes?"
"Long story, but I just don't wanna say no to Richard, I like him"
"You like James too"
"No I don't" I said hotly.
"Don't bother Lily we all know you do and we all know about the 'No I don't trick'. You play it every time we say you like Potter, obviously not true"
"But I don't!"
"Then answer this Lily, why are you calling him James and not Potter?" I thought for a second.
"Yeah well, you smell"
"Yes Lily, very mature"
"Smelly"
"Don't call me smelly"
"Oh sorry smelly"
"I said don't call me smelly"
"But you are smelly"
"Am not"
"Am"
"Am not"
"Am"
"Am not"
"Am"
"Am"
"Am not"
"Ha! "
"Hey that was no fair! You're the blonde one!"
"Excuse me!" She laughed. Then she picked up a pillow and thwacked me round the back of the head with it.
