Chapter 6- Just Friends

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Lily's POV)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I lay down on my bed with the thoughts of my friend's advice spinning through me.

"He was DOING HIS JOB. He was CATCHING a student who was OUT LATE."

"LILY! CHILL OUT! You were running away OK? Not AVOIDING, NOT LOOKING FOR SOMEONE, you were running away. Just face the facts that once in you life you are wrong."

"Ok, it's obvious you need time alone. TO THINK ABOUT THIS."

How could they say that? I was just trying to get away from him and his LILIKINS business. I had a perfectly good reason to run away, I mean avoid him. It's not like I was hurting anyone, except for myself. But HE hexed ME. It is HIS entire fault!

"You were running away. Just face the facts that once in you life you are wrong."

Ok, maybe I was 'running away' but he was just crazy.

"He was DOING HIS JOB."

Ok, so maybe he was, but he should've had known it was me.

"Oh, so now patrolling consists of hiding in bushes and running away from the head boy?"

He could still see me. Ok maybe not. But….. But…..


"James! JAMES wait!" I yelled as I ran after him down the corridor.

He started to speed up.

Great. Just great. When I want to talk he runs away. When I don't he chases me.

"James! Please don't run! I'm… I'M…I'm sorry," I said.

He stopped and turned around.

"What?"

"I said I'm sorry. I acted like jerk. You were right you were just doing your job. I just….I just couldn't take the fact that for once I was……wrong. "

YEAH! GO me I did it!

He walked over to me.'

Ok. Stay clam.

"I'm sorry too,"

"Why?" I asked.

"I, I acted like an idiot you know with calling you….Lilikins-" he stopped for a reaction.

"Go on." I said.

"And I didn't take in to consideration your feelings. Sorry." He said and walked away.

"Wait,"

"Yes, Lily,"

"Umm, are we friends now?" I asked.

"Yes. If you want to be,"

"Yea I do. So friends can ask each other stuff right?"

"Yes." He said questionly.

"Well….why did you call me Lilikins?"

"Uh..Umm…" he muttered.

"Yes…"

Come on…I know you know why…

"Uh…well… it was because… Sirius told me to," he said.

I should've known….

"Sirius? You actually believed him when he told you I wouldn't mind that?" I asked.

"Well. He never said you wouldn't mind…"

"Oh….well. Ok. But I have another question."

"Ok…"

"Why did he tell you to call me that?"

"Because, I wanted his advice." He stated.

"On what exactly…?"

"On how…On how to get you to like me," he said.

………………………………

"You like ME? Me?" I asked

That was stupid. Of course he does!

"Yea… for about 6…… or 7 years."

Uh, oh. He's gonna ask me out think fast…..

"Wait…uh...James. I think it's nice and all that you like me…but….I just don't want a relationship right now. Can we just be friends?" I asked.

"Oh….yeah…..whatever you want Lily,"

"Thanks James," I said and walked away.


Please answer….Please answer……I thought as I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Paige called.

"Me! Lily!"

Let me come in….

"Lily! COME IN!" she yelled.

Yeah! 

I opened the door and was greeted by my friends arm flying over me.

"We've missed you!" Sarah said.

"Me too. I never knew that 2 days without you guys would be so lonely."

"Ok Lily. What happened?" Bridget said and pulled me into a chair.

"Well…." I said.

"And so now we're friends." I said.

"YEAH! Finally, he told you," Sarah said.

"What?" I asked.

"That he LIKES you," Paige said.

"Oh…right," I said.

"OMG! You are blushing. Do you like him?" Bridget asked.


(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((James' POV))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

"Hello Lily, Sarah, hey Remus," I said and sat down next to him.

"Hello James," Lily said.

"Told ya," Remus said.

Jeez Remus…rub it in…

"What?" Lily said.

"Nothing," I said.

"Ok. Fine you're right," I said, "Happy?"

"Very," he replied with a smug look on his face.

"God Remus," I said and started to read.


"Now, remember to study chapter 1 for the test Monday. Class Dismissed," Professor Gibbet said.

More tests….

I grabbed my books and walked out.

"Hey!" Sirius shouted and ran up to meet me.

"Hi Sirius, ready for practice tonight?" I asked.

"Practice? Already, I should've known," he said.

He always says that…

"Yeah, it's all part of this new game plan I made this year,"

"Ok….,"

"It'll work,"

"Sure," he said.

It will.

"Trust me. They've worked before,"

"Fine, who do I have to tell?"


What do they think they're doing? This is my practicing spot!

"Hey!" I called across the field, "what the hell are you doing?"

"What does it look like, Potter. My team is practicing," he said.

More like pratcting how to get on a broom.

"Who gave you permission?" I asked.

"I did," he said.

Cuz' no one else would

"Well, I am Head Boy and Professor Tonk gave me permission. So get off before I hex you," I said while taking out my wand.

"Just try," he said.

"Expell-," I said but got cut off.

Damn it.

"James! Lucious! What are you doing?" a voice called.

"Nothing sir," I said and took down my wand.

"All right then, but isn't Gryffindor practicing here tonight?" the headmaster asked.

Saved.

"Fine," he said, "Let's go!" he yelled and marched off.

"Thanks," I said.

"Yes James, but you should get started if you are to win this year," he said and walked off.

"Ok, you heard him! Everyone mount your brooms and get ready. This will be a long night," I said and pushed off the ground into the sky.


"You're mad," Sirius said as we trudged up to the dormitories.

"No, not mad, just a good coach," I argued.

"Yes, as I said mad," he replied.

God. Can't he appreciate anything?

"Shut up you git,"

"Hey, don't get mad at me. You're the one you had us practicing for hmm…was it 4 or 5 hours?"

It was only 4…….and 3 quarters….

"Do you want to win?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Then why are you complaining?" I asked and walked into the common room.

"Because," he said, "if you keep making us practice like this we'll die."

We won't die. We have to get knocked out first. And I would stop practice. So no one would die.

"Ok, fine then next time we'll only practice for 3 hours. Better?" I asked.

"YES!" the Gryffindor team yelled and went off to there rooms.

They don't have to sound so happy.


"Lily?" I asked, "why are you up? Its 3 A.M."

That's smart you're up to you idiot.

"That's my question too," she replied.

"Oh, well, I couldn't sleep," I said.

"Same here…………Would you like to sit?"

"Oh, sure," I said and walked over to a chair and sat down in it.

She looks so pretty………..

"So, uh what you've been doin''?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just trying to master this stupid spell," she said.

And she's so smart

"What is it?" I asked.

"It's not important," she answered.

Not to mention stubborn.

"It must be if it's keeping you up," I said and looked at her.

"Huhhhhhh, ok, fine, don't laugh thought," she said and handed over the book.

"Oh, this one, I'll help you,"

"Really! You will! Thank you!" she screeched.

Potter you've finally done something right.


"Now remember Lily, focus on that happy memory ok?" I told her.

"Alright James. I'm ready," she said.

"Ok, 1….-2……- and a half……..-"

"James…."

Don't get her mad...

"Ok, fine, fine, 2…- 3!" I yelled and stepped back.

"Expecto Patronum!" Lily yelled and pointed her wand at the target as a white mist formed.

Yes! Finally….

"Good Job Lily," I said.

"I did it! Thank you!" she yelled and wrapped her arms around me.

She's hugging me. Let go….

"Oh, no problem, I am always at your call," I said and gave a bow.

"James," she said.

"Kidding,"

"Well, thanks again," she said and ran into her room.
