Disclaimer: However much I might wish I did, unfortunately I do not own any of these characters… They all belong to JKR.
How many ways can I say I hate you?
-:-
Part 1
"James, don't you understand? I. Don't. Like. You." Lily was getting frustrated. Since her first day at Hogwarts, James had been trailing her around. Now, by her seventh year, she was getting very fed up of it.
"James, I abhor you, you're a bounder and cad.
I detest you; your effrontery is facetious and sad.
You think you're a godsend, I'm telling you you're not,
A voice to contrast with the view that you're hot.
-
I find you intolerable, with your jerkish style,
You're a knave, I loathe you, your sight brings up bile.
You're malevolent, narcissistic, obstinate, perverse,
Quite definitely a person I desire to curse.
-
Your efforts repulse me, through your stupidity can you see
That if you abandoned your terrorism you'd have a chance with me?
Your ugly attitude towards those not your friends
Can be abandoned and help to make amends.
-
Your vanity helps you to be so wayward
If you ignored your fans, then –"
"Lily, you've said quite enough." James shoved through the crowd that had gathered around them and stalked up the stairs.
Part 2
Three magic phrases
After breakfast, Lily went outside, she needed fresh air. She was thinking about apologising, but none of the Marauders were at breakfast. A very bad sign. Just then a slight scuffling behind her and a cry of pain made her turn around. Snape was on the ground, having been tripped over. Sure enough, when Lily looked around, the Marauders were behind him. Her thoughts were distracted by the harsh laugh of the group surrounding Lucius Malfoy, who brought his leg back up and stood up straight. James caught Lily's eye and purposefully walked towards Snape. He offered his hand to the boy.
After the crowd dispersed, James and Lily were left by themselves, Remus having dragged Sirius and Peter away. Lily looked up at James.
"I was going to apologise at breakfast," she began.
He cut her off, "You don't need to," he said before pulling her into a kiss. Lily put a hand on his chest and struggled until they broke apart, Lily looking very confused.
James put a finger across her lips, "You were right, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I love you." She smiled and leaned up to kiss him again.
