Disclaimer: Now the question is, why am I writing this disclaimer? Obviously I don't own any of the characters and settings, and I can't be JKR coz my story sucks and there is no way that I could ever come up with a world that is as good as the wizarding world. Also everyone knows that this site is for fan fiction, AKA fiction written by fans not by famous authors.
A/N Thank you SO much for your reviews, I can't believe people reviewed my story, it's scary. I kind of have no idea where this story is going so if you can't see the plot then don't worry neither can I, I am going to try and include Voldemort in the story and hopefully keep it going for a long time, I want to show Lily and James defy (I think that's right) him 3 times like it says in the prophecy. I have some ideas for way into the future of the story but I don't have much for the next few chapters, oh well, once again thanx, and stay with me, now on with the story.
Chapter 4: One Day
"I can't believe it, the worlds gone mad." Denzi exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air in amazement, on a Saturday morning about a month into the school year.
"I know, Lily Evans has detention." Moo added.
"Look, do you guys have to say this every day" Lily said as she tied her hair up into a loose pony tail.
"Lils, 1. It's been two days and 2. Your Lily EVANS, you can't have detention, you're like Lily Evans."
"Denzi's right Lils." Moo said walking into the bathroom off the side of the dorm to brush her teeth.
Lily sighed and put a spare quill into her bag. She knew they were right, Lily Evans had detention, what was much worse was who she would be serving Detention with. It is all his fault, she thought, if he wasn't such a bigheaded ignorant jerk who picks on any male that exists and flirts with any female that is half good looking than I wouldn't have gotten detention, jerk…
Flashback (Lily's POV)
"Oh, Snivellus, did you make a mistake on your potion?" I hear the taunting voice of none other than James Potter.
"Oh I think he did James, maybe all that slime from his hair slide into the potion." Sirius Black and Potter laugh after poor Severus' potion explodes, no doubt it was the damn Marauders fault in the first place though.
"Or maybe he's just a dumb git" Potter says, ok I have had enough, I am going to have to put a stop to this, Professor Spicer isn't in the room anyway, wow, what a coincidence that Peter Pettigrew had to be taken to the Hospital Wing just before Snape's potion self destructs.
"POTTER, WHAT IN MERLIN'S NAME DID YOU DO?" I scream walking over to the sight of all the commotion, Denzi and Moo come over as well, to help Severus with his potion.
"Why, if it isn't Evans butting into everyone's business again." Black says, he has some nerve.
Ooh, looks like Potter's going to speak, I wonder what arrogant thing he's going to say now. "Come now, Sirius, let me deal with Evans." Potter says to Black, and now he's turning to face me again, "Evans will you go out with me?" OH MY GOD HE IS SO INSUFFERABLE AND DESPERATE.
"READ MY LIPS YOU ARROGANT PRICK, N-O, IT MEANS NO YOU DUMB ASS." I can't stand him, he is so…. I don't know how to describe it, he's just so damn annoying and du-
"What is all the noise about?" oh great Spicer is back "Miss Evans I do not appreciate you screaming so loud. You are being terribly rude"
"I am sorry Professor, it's just that POTTER here, just made poor Sever-"
"Don't talk about me like that you filthy little Mudblood"
"Don't you dare say that to Evans again, Snivellus or I will-" here we go again always defending me, bastard, and he has to do it while holding his wand to Snape's throat.
"STOP STICKING UP FOR ME I CAN PROTECT MYSELF YOU ASS HOLE" I can't believe I just said that out loud, in front of a teacher, and it just so happens to be a teacher that likes to get Gryffindors in trouble any chance he gets.
"ENOUGH, Miss Evans, Mr. Potter you shall both receive detention and 50 points will be deducted from your house, Gryffindor is it I believe?" I can't believe it, I got detention, how is that possible, it's all POTTER'S fault. Obviously I am not the only one shocked or annoyed. Moo's jaw is almost on the ground and Denzi is already arguing with Spicer.
"But, what about Black for helping Potter explode Snape's potion, or SNAPE for calling Lily a - a - I can't even say it, it was that terrible."
"THAT IS ENOUGH, Miss Godenzie, shut your mouth before I give you detention as well, 5 points from Gryffindor for your insolence. You two can meet me after class to arrange your detention" he says the last sentence pointing to me and Potter, oh and there's the bell "which looks to be now".
End Flashback
"Lily, earth to Lily" Moo said waving her hand in front of Lily's face.
"W - w - what?"
"Wake up you idiot!"
"Shit, I'm going to be late for detention" Said Lily after looking at her silver muggle watch, grabbing her bag and her sweater and racing out of the dorm. She ran down the stairs, through the common room and out of Gryffindor tower. Down the corridor, down a few staircases and into the dungeons.
"Well, well. Nice of you to join us Miss Evans. I was just telling Mr. Potter the specifics of what you will be doing here today." Professor Spicer said.
"Sorry I was late Professor, I was working on the essay you set us last lesson." Lily lied, of course she regretted lying to a teacher but she hadn't really been working on the essay, she had been thinking about Potter and how much he annoyed her. She could never say that though, no one could ever know how much she thought about him.
"I am forced to remove a further 5 points from Gryffindor for you being late." Spicer said, causing outrage and jaw dropping of the two students. "Now, you two" He continued pointing at James and Lily. "I want you to spend the rest of the next couple of hours, or until you are finished, scrubbing these cauldrons, WITHOUT magic." He gestured to about 15 cauldrons standing in the corner of the room "I will be back after lunch, I'm feeling rather peckish." With that he placed a charm over the door to his office so the two would not steal any of his belongings and left them to it.
"So, how are ya Evans?" James asked a very large smirk on his face.
"I'm fine, Potter, now get to work." Lily replied disgusted.
They worked in silence for a good 15 minutes. It was not an awkward silence, nor was it a frustrating silence. It was a surprisingly comfortable silence. Lily looked up from her second cauldron to see James scrubbing away hard at his third. He does look rather cute Lily thought NO don't think that, look back to what you're doing, quickly before he sees you looking at him. Although it was, sadly for Lily, too late. James felt a smirk creep slowly onto his face.
"Feel free to check me out Evans, I don't mind" James said with his trademark smirk.
"I was not checking you out Potter. I unlike most of the female population at Hogwarts can see how much of a big headed prick you are." She replied coolly without looking up from the cauldron she was cleaning.
"I'm sure" James replied sarcastically.
Lily snorted at his last comment and continued her work. When she finished her second cauldron she lifted her head up and turned to walk to the other side of the classroom, she did this at the same time as James, making them bump into each other.
"Move out the way Potter." She spat before she looked up at his face. When she did look up after a second she looked straight into his big eyes. What she saw shocked her, she didn't see the normal teasing or flirting glint and a hint of a smirk, she saw a different feeling that she thought never possible of the boy standing in front of her. The look scared her; his eyes were full of love. NO she thought he's faking it, it's not a real look. James Potter could never love anyone in his life.
James saw the look in her eyes as she stared into his. It wasn't the usual look or pure loathing, it was more surprise and curiosity. Do it James just do it he thought to himself. He leaned forward about to do something he had wanted to do since he was 12 years old, James could have been cure he saw her lean up towards him at the same time. Their lips were barely half a centimeter away when Lily turned away and walked to the other side of the room an proceeded to clean another of the cauldrons. James sighed and also continued with his cleaning. One day, he thought one day.
A/N I officially hate the last couple of sentences in this chapter. Oh well, can't win them all. Once again thanx for all your reviews, if you've just joined me please review and keep reading my story. I don't mind if you tell me what you think I've done bad I just want some feedback.
I have lots of homework to do and I travel for an hour and a half to and from school everyday so it might be a while before I can update, but don't let that scare you away. LOL, that was so not funny, anyway…
Lots of Love
