Dear Prongs
By Super Girl
Chapter 2: Running around in circles.
"Dearest Prongs,
I think you should try to be more happy. Since Evans has been away at her families home, you been- mopy-ish. I do not know if you really do love her as you say you do. Most people think your joking around even she does. Probably why she hasn't given you a chance due to your fan-clubbing-stalking-female-witches, which I am not one. I am a witch but not a stalker I assure you. I do observe you, I can't help it though, I think I am in a way like you are towards Evans, but not as upfront and public about it. I do know how I feel for you is close to love. Personally I do not think you do care for her as you say. I do apologize for sounding cruel here, it's just I don't know you, know you. Part of the reason I wanted to write to you.
Loving you eternally in turmoil from my bleeding soul for yours, Doe forever."
"I personally think we found your obsessed bizzaro-world twin." said Remus
"I think she has some points here." said Sirius reading the letter snickering.
"I have heard that 'eternally in turmoil from my bleeding soul for yours' before." James said thinking out-loud.
"It was on Evans' valentines card you sent to her last year, you know the one you sent to her with a photo of a bleeding heart." said Remus.
"No I think it was on the Christmas card he sent to her last year." said Sirius.
"This Doe person is scaring me." said James.
"Now you know how Evans feels." said Remus walking towards the bathroom.
"I think I will write her back." said James walking over to a small desk in the corner of there room. He opened up a drawer and took out a sheet of parchment and grabbed a ball-point pen and wrote back to Doe.
"My Dearest Stalker Doe- person,
I assure you I am infect deeply in love with my Lily. I know you do not believe me, yet I also assure you it is NOT your business. Moony told me you were my twin in stalking, which I do NOT do. You however are a stalker. I will still be your Stag-friend though. Saturday is coming up, as well as Hogsmeade. I know you probably want to go t that with me, however if Lily comes back to school I am taking her.
Yes, we have been secret lovers for a few years now and I will one day be her babies daddy. I know this is a shock for you, but she didn't want anyone to know about us. I do fell bad breaking your arteries in your heart my Doe friend. Tisk, tisk is the way of love. However I am upset you used my lines for Evans on me.
However to keep you quiet for your black-mailing you can still run through the forest with me. However my deer side also loves Lily, as well does she have a thing for deer. I can't go into detail about that. Her favorite move in fact is Bambi.
We are in-love and have planed on have eight children all boys of course. Names already picked out. These things you wouldn't know dear Doe.
My Evans also is a nymphomaniac and I seem to be the cure for the common nymph if you catch what I am saying. Just letting you know when she yells at me she hates me, that is code words for Closet in ten minuets.
Long as you don't put a dead-foot in my school bag we will be fine,
Never yours so get over your self, Prongs"
Lily looked up from her letter walking through the halls and seen Alice walking up to her. "LILY!" she said wrapping her arms around her tightly. Lily pulled away smiling at her friend. "I missed you as well." she replied looking up. Alice smiled and looked at the letter in Lily's hand. "Oh another love letter, Lily from your secret admire?" asked Alice. Lily blushed some and nodded tucking it away.
"Secret admire?" questioned James who hide behind the corner of the wall spying.
"Yeah, well I need to go see McGonagall for my homework from this week." said Lily smiling.
"Oh- James has it, he told all the teachers he would give it to you." said Alice, Lily paled some.
"What?" she said softly.
"Yeah and there is a rumor going around you and James are secret lovers and you have some sex addition. Funny huh?" said Alice. Lily was fuming at this point. "What!" Alice grabbed Lily's shoulders. "I thought it was best you heard it from me, before some member of his fan club tried to knock you off." said Alice. "I will kill him for doing that, why would he say that to others, I mean he was starting to be nice then he does this. I- I- people are going to believe him." Lily was in tears, all of her feelings felt like she was being dishonest with herself all along.
"Hey EVANS!" said an voice behind her. She turned to see James standing there grinning. "How could you. I thought- you changed!" she said glaring at him.
"How dare I what?" he asked tilting his head.
"You know what you did why I was away visiting my father in the hospital. You started a rumor about me!" she yelled more angry. She thought he said those things in the letter only to try to get Doe away from him, however it was pulling her away from him.
"Listen, I did that to stop this girl from bothering me and-" SLAP.
"I can't believe I was starting to fall for you and you did this." she said running from him.
"Lily! Wait!" he called. "Don't" said Alice glaring at him.
"Alice, you don't understand there is this girl-"
"There is always a girl James. Maybe if there wasn't another girl she would fall for you and trust you!"
"You don't get it, there is this girl who is black-mailing me and-"
"Everyone is right about you Potter. I thought you changed as well, I told her about the rumor before she was asked and embarrassed ." she walked of towards where Lily went.
"Dear Prongs,
If you love someone, you wouldn't do things to hurt them.
I seen a horrible thing today in the hallway.
If true or not, you should never hurt someone by starting up lies about them.
I think personally it was not the best choice, perhaps some of it has to deal with my crush on you.
If so you want to gain her trust back, you must sacrifice something. You made her lose her reputation, you must be equally embarrassed or do the unthinkable a public apology to her.
With love everlasting Doe."
It was Saturday, the day of Hogsmeade and the mid-night rendezvous.
"Lily." she turned to the voice and looked up then turned back to her book she was reading. "I am sorry about- Well you know. I just want one minuet to explain myself." She looked up then over to Alice.
"She doesn't want to talk to you Potter. She is in love with someone else." said Alice bitterly. "So get a clue."
"Alice- Stop." said Lily bitterly to her. Alice turned surprised at Lily.
"Lily if you don't tell him off for good he will keep up these rumors and keep hurting you." Alice said sternly back.
"Your just as bad as he is Alice." Lily said walking away, she stopped and turned to look at James.
"I will forgive you this time Potter." she said then walked out of the hall. James grinded ear to ear and looked at Alice. He held out his palm. "I am not paying you." she said pissed off.
"I won the bet Alice that is1 gallon from you and a pair of her shoes." Alice growled and walked away from James.
"Dear Doe,
I took you advice and it worked. Okay so maybe I fabricated a bit on Lily and mines relationship a tad. She is in denial about a few things though. You said your self I was a great guy. Anyways we will meet you by the willow, it's best to go as human so we can transfigure in the shrieking shack.
What was true is me and Lily will have eight children they will have my good looks and her brains only. C. U. at the tree at 10.
Toodles, Prongs King of the Forbidden Forest."
"Get Evans to go to Hogsmeade with you Prongs?" asked Sirius waiting at the tree with him.
"Shut Up pads." snarled James.
"Can we go it's been an
hour." said Peter board.
"I mean this Doe person isn't here you said ten it's eleven fifteen now!" said Sirius.
"Fine let's go." said James. Peter transformed and hit the knot of the tree and the three went into a secret passage way and made their way to the shrieking shack.
They transformed once they entered the basement of the shack. They entered the living room to see Remus' werewolf form tied to the bed growling. Peter jumped up as a Rat and bite the ropes lose. Remus growled and jumped up chasing Peter as he ran through the front door of the shack. James and Sirius tailed him running in the woods by Hogsmeade.
James was running having the best time of his life, free from all things. He breathed in the air from the fresh grass hit by his hoofs clanging against the rocks and sticks. The stopped when Remus paused sniffing something. Curious they looked up the hill and seen a small doe walking towards them. Remus however charged at the deer. Sirius barked at Remus trying to stop him.
James however ran after him trying to stop him, before James got there too late Remus swung at the small Doe and flung it against a tree. Just before the Doe could get up Remus' jaw bit the shoulder blade of the small doe. Fuming James rammed his friend with his antlers causing Remus to bleed. Sirius started to bark at Remus trying to distract him for James and the Doe to get away.
"Run you silly girl!" thought James.
"Run?" he heard. He turned looking at the Doe standing up slowly looking up at him.
"Er… you can hear me?" he asked the Doe.
"Best we run Prongs." the Doe said running quickly. The continued to run as Peter and Sirius ran laps around Remus. "How can we communicate?" he asked.
"Were the same species." The doe said running towards a cave with James.
The stopped and James poked his stage head out of the cave looking for Remus. "Are you okay?" he asked the Doe. The deer nodded her head some. "I am sorry." the Doe said to him. "Er… um this is weird everything I think you can hear. I am not so sure I like this deer-communication thing." he said. Doe titled her head. "Not everything, you can't hear what I am thinking, now can you." James eyed the Doe. "Your strange pers- Deer."
"I am going to go now, James. I been hurt badly." the Doe said looking up.
"Yeah, okay well maybe we can do this some other time without the werewolf." he said he looked down at the Doe noticed she had freckles on her body of her coat. The looked over to her small antlers which were not even half the size of his. "You have nice Antlers." he said.
Doe looked up at him. He was quiet unsure what that meant. "Er- you know what I mean." he said titling his head to the side. "What kind of Doe are you, do you know?" he asked. Doe blinked a few times. "I don't know, I don't know what I look like to be honest." she said.
"Well your antlers are… about 8 inches. Your fur is red with brown spots and you have a white belly and a white cute tail." he said the blinked a few times at what he said. "You think my tail is cute?" she asked. "Well- anyways you need to get back to school before you get eaten, no offence you about the size of Sirius as a dog." he said he tilted his head again looking at her tail some. "What are you doing?" she asked. James snapped out of it and looked at her. "What?"
"Okay I will write to you latter." she said closing her eyes then disappeared. "Crap she can transport in animal form?" he thought then looked around. "Hmm… wait I was hitting on a deer. What the hell is wrong with me. God next thing you know it will be mating season. I need to end this now." he thought running from the cave.
The next morning Sunday…
"Lily are you still mad at me?" asked Alice sitting down next to her. Lily looked up. "Why aren't you sitting with Frank?" she asked she then looked over to Lily's side. "So where were you last night?" she asked Lily. "I was in the library then I got in a fight with as Slytherin." she said noticing Alice's eyes on her neck. Lily fixed her collar some. "Who?" she asked Lily.
"Bella the Senior Slytherin, Sirius' cousin." Alice turned to the table where the girl sat and glared at her then turned back to Lily. "Owls' come yet?" she asked. Lily pointed to the ceiling as the birds came in. She smiled a bit knowing James would be getting his note from her. A white bird stopped in front of Lily. She looked at the bird oddly then took the envelope from the bird.
She eyed it and opened it up. "Oh, no." Lily gasped covering her mouth up. She closed her eyes as tears feel out. "Lily, what is it?" she asked. Lily sat up. "My- my dad, he died." she said she began to shake. "Lily I am so sorry." said Alice trying to hug her. Lily pulled away and ran from the hall pushing past people she ran fast as she could. She ran into someone not apologizing continued to run as her letter slipped out of her fingers.
"Lily,
Father suffered another heart attack, they took him in for surgery, he lost too much blood. He died last night, were to stay with grandmother now. Please come home soon as possible.
Petunia."
Fingers gripped the note reading it again and again. The reader kept looking up to the girls' dorm in Griffindors common room. Sighing the reader slumped down in there chair. "Potter?" how did you get that?" questioned Alice. He looked at her. "Lily ran into me in the hall and dropped it." he said sighing. Alice sat down some.
"She has locked us all out of there." she said looking up at the room. "She did that when her mother died." she sighed frowning some.
"She was beat up last night by Sirius' cousin Bellatrix Black." she said looking at James. "I want to get her back for what she did to Lily, but I want to wait until she is gone and I know you would help me." she said looking at him.
"What did she do?" he asked slowly.
"She went to the library and she was tackled by her, she had bruises all over her neck and probably everywhere else. She did come in late last night and went to her bed and closed it up without talking to us." James looked over the room and up to the room Lily locked herself in. "Bella did that last year as well, several times to Lily, so it's not a surprise it happened again. Most of the time it's been in front of the other girls, but I think she was ashamed."
"We'll get her." he said standing up walking to the boys' dorm.
"So did you have fun with your deer lady last night?" asked Sirius. "Rum around, had a stag-ing of a time? Show her your Antler?" James glared at Sirius. "Not in the mood, Lily's dad died last night." he said handing the note to Sirius. "Last night your cousin beat her up again." he said looking at Sirius.
"We will take care of it after Lily leaves for the funeral."
"Dear Doe,
I haven't heard back from you for awhile since the night we went out. I hope I didn't scare you. I want us to be platonic friends as deer.
I don't know I been different lastly since Lily Evans left two weeks ago for her father's funeral. I love her so much it hurt to see her go to the train yard again.
What can I do? I am lost. What can I do to mend her heart? Can I ever do anything. I wanted to hold her that day, but she wouldn't look at anyone. I wanted to tell her I was sorry and I loved her, but I can't go back it seems I keep missing the chances I would have to show her how much I love her.
If you have any advice, I will take it.
The Broken Hearted Prongs."
