Let the Harsh Words Begin…
Scum, Lily thought irritably, Saying he fancies someone – and then goes off and flirts with others girls and expects the girl he fancies to return the feelings! Ha! He is an over-conceited git after all!
Then why do I feel so hurt?
Lily shook her head violently, what was she going on about? Her taking a fancy to James Potter? Ha, that's something she would call – laughable. James Potter may have been blessed with good looks, but unfortunately he must have been dropped on his head one time too many as a baby, for his head was completely empty. Sure, he might get good marks in some classes, but socially he is arrogant and his life revolves around his silly little pranks.
"Oi, Lily? Lily! LILY!!"
"What?" Lily snapped, coming back to reality.
"You were saying?" the Slytherin Prefect asked, following Lily's gaze towards where James had just exited, trying to hold back a smile of blackmail.
"Please distribute these towards everyone in Slytherin house, make sure everyone receives their schedule," Lily instructed, "Good Day."
With that, Lily walked off, too lost in her own thought to realize exactly where she was going – all she knew was that she had to go somewhere where she could be alone in her thoughts, away from people. Lily quickly walked up the stairs, trying to figure out and understand what she had just seen in the Great Hall. She almost came up with a good reason of why she felt the way she did when she saw James Potter flirting with Olivia when she –
"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Lily had evidently, missed the trick stair – getting stuck in the deserted corridors, just perfect.
"Why now!" She screamed obviously frustrated.
"Evans you should really watch we're your going," a voice said that was trying to hold back a laugh.
"Ugh! Potter, this is all your fault!"
Taken aback, "All my fault? I wasn't even near you at the time!"
"Obviously you were if you knew I got stuck and still am!"
James approached Lily cautiously, "How is it might fault though?"
Lily, not wanting to tell him that she had been flustered with him on her mind, decided to ignore that question, "Are you going to help me or what?"
James shrugged and put his hands under Lily's arms, and lifted her up. She brushed the dust off of herself and stood there awkwardly, not sure of what to do – or in that matter, say. James feelings the same way stood there awkwardly too, only he couldn't stop staring at her, how beautiful she was. He nervously ruffled his hair and noticed that his breathing had become heavier.
"Is there something on my face, Potter?" Lily asked sarcastically since it was obvious he was goggling over her.
"N-no," James muttered, blushing slightly and turning away. "W-well see ya around Evans." Not wanting to embarrass himself any more, he started to walk off.
"Oi! Potter!"
James stopped and turned around, in a confused sort of manner.
"Thanks!" Lily said, grinning. With that she turned and headed towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"No problem," James whispered, a foolish smile spreading across his face as he walked off to go find the rest of the Marauders.
Lily went upstairs to the Girl's Dormitory and got her bag. She than finally got a chance to look at her schedule:
Muggle Studdies 9:00
Lunch 12:00
Charms 1:00
Transfiguration 4:00
Dinner 7:00
Perfect, Lily thought, Afternoon classes with Potter, spectacular she grinned sarcastically to herself. Lily grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs so she wouldn't be late for Muggle Studdies.
Classes went by slowly, but lunch came and went by quickly, and the next thing that Lily knew was that she was actually walking beside James Potter and having a decent conversation!
"Yeah, so Sirius stuck his hand town the loo to see if he'd be able to find an alligator! Which caused his arm to get stuck. Oh did my mum have a fuss about that one! You should have seen his face, he looked so horror stricken with a violent shade of red!"
Lily laughed uncontrollably and the hardest she'd laughed in a long time.
"Can't breathe!" She yelled breathlessly.
"It isn't that hard, just breathe in and then out," James said flirtatiously.
"Oh shut it!" Lily said, playfully hitting his chest.
"It wasn't that funny – just got to make sure you don't go and tell Sirius any American Urban Legends about finding alligators down your pipes!"
"Guess so!" Lily said laughing once again. They than walked in silence for awhile, both couldn't believe they were actually having a conversation that didn't lead to hexing one another.
Maybe he's not that bad after all, Lily thought, Maybe he has changed…
Lily stared up at James and smiled, however he looked like there was a piece of dung under his nose, Lily soon discovering why…
"Hi Jamsie-Poo," Olivia walked up flirtatiously.
"Hullo," James said flatly.
"Care to walk me to my next class, hunny?"
"Er – " James caught a glimpse of Lily and his face was burning with confusion, if he couldn't of been mistaken he would have sworn for a split second Lily had pain, hurt, and sorrow written all over her face, but it has disappeared as quickly as it had appeared.
"Go ahead, Potter," Lily said acidly, "Walk your girlfriend to her class, be a gentleman now." Lily than stormed off trying to hold back every emotion that was running through her veins.
"Lily!" James called after her.
Lily turned around and glared at him, "Potter I am perfectly capable of finding the class by myself, no need for you to accompany me, as you obviously don't want to. Good day Potter, and good-bye." With that Lily practically ran to the next class, leaving James with his heart crushed, something that she always managed to do.
"Come on Jamesie!" Olivia cried, while trying to put kisses all over his face.
"Get off – " But James was unable to finish his sentence because Olivia had already started their snogging session, a couple of hours earlier than expected and a pair of hateful and hurt green eyes that stared off in the long distance…
Author's Note: How was that? Next Chapter will be on if James goes and meets Olivia at the Astronomy Tower of if he stays behind out of guilt.
