Title: You're so Vain
Chapter: 1
Author: Lily Black (formerly - Evans)
Rating: T to be safe, because the "f" word is used.
Ships: implied James/Lily, implied Sirius/Lily
Genre(s): General
Summary: Songfic from Lily to James. Lily's POV
Disclaimer: If I owned any of this I wouldn't be putting it up online but on a book shelf.
A/N: Have fun with this. It is based on the 70's song "You're so Vain" By Carly Simon. For those James/Lily shippers just don't flame me! This is probably more of an anti-James/Lily than anything. Or if you wish to feel blissfully ignorant, they got in a fight.
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Don't give me that look, you did walk with that same cocky manner we all knew you for. You always got the girls covering your eye dumbly with that lame leather hat you think is so amazing. Just because Sirius pulls it off doesn't mean you can. All because you're Quidditch Star James Potter. Yes, you love Sirius, but whatever he can do you can do ten times better, that's what you think isn't it?
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
I must say, I love Sirius for changing your dumb cashmere scarf of crimson. Or was that it faded because everybody knows your hair shows how you take care of things... you don't. I can't believe people don't watch you watching yourself. You're too in love with yourself to ever love anybody else.
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...
How they all can't see through you is beyond me. You are a good actor, James Potter. You're a wonderful actor. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a girl because they all get clouded by your charms. You're disgusting pureblooded charms. Your repulsive Potter charm. I hope like hell Harry doesn't abuse it the way is damned father does!
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Because Carly Simon was your ex-flame, is that what you're going to tell everybody when they read this? Because they'll all ponder why this song fits this so well. You're so vain, and guess what... this song is about you. Doesn't this just boost that already overly large ego of yours to new levels? Lily Evans is dedicating a song to you. Sounds good you say? Well good, because ignorance is bliss, but over ignorance is poison to the heart and soul. But yes, you can go off thinking that James fucking Potter.
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
My deepest regret. I gave into your persistence and that disgusting pureblooded charm. All that pain you put me through, that's what I resent you for, just like I resent the fact that my son looks just like you. The man I resent more than I resent Lord Voldemort or death or Slytherins. You just said "love starts from fights" and shrugged my deepest loathing off as "another way of showing affection" or you would say with that horribly conceited smile "I like them feisty." WHAT A PERVERT!
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and, you're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
I hate to admit this, but honesty it the only thing to clean you of your wrongdoings, I used to dream things would get better. You would realize I meant something to you and we'd get back together and that Harry would see his dad in a better light. Well I've grown smarter and my naivity has subsided. You never cared. Never. I was just a trophy girl to you. Just something to add to the list of "Things the Great James Potter has done" you would put your name in bold like that too. I know you would. Just to show that it was you, perfect you that had accomplished high marks at school, talent on the Quidditch pitch, and slept with every girl in your year. Yes, that latter is something to be proud of. WHAT A SLUT! Seriously, James, get over yourself.
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend
Yea, what DO you do when you're not around Unspeakables, spies for the Order, or trying to sway me to leave Sirius. Some friend you are, arrogant berk.
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
Hope you do because... James Potter, this song's for you, drink it up, asshole.
A/N: Yea, there is slight implication of Sirius/Lily here. Don't kill me! Sorry it's so short, but it's a song fic and not many are very long. I just heard this song on TV the other day and thought of Lily to James so I had to do it.
Be a doll
