Chapter 5:
The next few weeks past without any interesting events. No words were exchanged between Lily and James. Lily acted as if nothing had happened and James continued life as normal except for one change. He was no longer asking Lily out every five minutes and had instead pursued every waking minute into pranking people instead of only pranking people 90 of the time. Of course he still saved 5 of the time he was awake eating and snogging randoms in broom closets.
Lily was living life normally. She could be found every evening in the common room doing her homework, studying or reading muggle novels.
About a month after they had detention was the first Hogsmeade weekend of the year. Lily, Denzi and Moo were ready to walk down the stairs from their dormitory and into the common room. Lily was wearing baggy dark blue jeans and her favourite Green Sweater over a pastel green singlet. The sweater hugged her curves perfectly and accented her eyes beautifully.
Moo's personality showed through perfectly with the skirt just longer than her knees, it was black and pleated. Her long sleeved white shirt was covered with a black woolen sleeveless jumper. Her outfit showed the quiet girl she was. Denzi was wearing a long dark purple peasant skirt, a tight long sleeved black top and a thin pastel green cardigan. Her shoes were black converse gym boots. Moo also wore Converse shoes of the same style although hers were black. Lily was wearing dark green Doc Martens.
"Come on let's go, I have to meet Remus in the common room." Moo called to Lily who was fixing her hair in the bathroom.
"Yeah and I want to see Sirius" Denzi added.
"What?" Lily yelled poking her head out of the bathroom. "Do you like Sirius Black?"
"Shit!" Denzi clamped her hands over her mouth. She knew Lily would take the news of her crush on a marauder badly. They had all accepted Moo's date with Remus as he was the more sensible one of the group; he was after all a prefect. What she didn't expect was the reaction that Lily took.
"I can't believe you like Sirius! Oh My God! Why didn't you tell me, you idiot?" Lily exclaimed running over to Denzi with a huge smile on her face and shaking her shoulders.
"I thought you would get mad because he's a Marauder." Denzi said slightly scared although she had a small smile on her face.
"Mad? I'm absolutely furious! But it's your life so I don't really care who you like even if he is one of the biggest idiot man whores alive." Lily said all of this still with her large grin, it wasn't a fake grin either, a genuine grin.
"So you're not mad?" Denzi asked over the sounds of Moo in hysterics on the floor.
"No I'm not mad" Lily said "Like I said I will tolerate you crushing anyone you want as long as it's not that arrogant prick, Potter" She spat his name, her smile fading for the first time.
"Yeah, coz he's yours, right Lils?" Moo said elbowing Lily playfully in the stomach, eyebrows raised.
"WHAT? NO! No way" Lily screamed, the girls could see her continuing with her rant for many hours so they silenced her and the three descended the stairs.
When they got to the common room the Marauders were found lounging on the couches closest to the fire (the fire wasn't lit). James and Sirius were sitting on the lounge that would usually seat three people but was occupied also by Prongs and Padfoot's most recent Girlfriends, sitting very proudly with their respective boyfriends' arms around them. Peter was in the far arm chair and Remus was in the chair closest to the girls with his back to them. Remus stood up at the sound of the three coming down the stairs. He turned around to look at his date. After a moment he managed to find his voice and say:
"Hi, Audrey, you look really nice" Moo blushed. He is so cute when he's nervous she thought and he called me by my first name, that's so cute. Pull yourself together woman.
"Thanks" she replied "should we go?"
"Yeah" They said good bye to their friends and left the common room.
"Come on, let's go" Lily said to Denzi, trying not to look at James.
Denzi pulled her eyes off Sirius who was currently pashing his girlfriend and said "Yeah, we better get going." The pair walked out of the room, down many flights of stairs and out into the sunshine of the Hogwarts grounds. They didn't speak until they were out of the Hogwarts gates, when they both spoke at once.
"What does he see in that dumb blonde"
"What does he see in that bimbo anyway"
"How can he almost kiss me and then go off and be with a million other girls straight away and that look in his eyes, I thought it was real..," Lily stopped talking when she realized what she had been revealing to Denzi.
Denzi, who had stopped talking when Lily had said the part about almost kissing, ran in front of Lily and stopped her from walking any further. "Spill" was all she said to her friend.
"What?" Lily asked innocently "there's nothing to spill".
"Oh yes there is missy. You have been my best friend for over 5 years and I know when you're lying. Also you already spilt half of it so I know there's a secret because I'm not that dumb. Spill"
"Look, nothing happened" Lily said, not meeting Denzi's eyes.
"This has something to do with the detention you had to do with Potter, doesn't it?" A look of understanding coming into her features as she nodded her slowly. "He has been really different around you since."
"Fine I'll tell you damn it" Denzi grinned knowing she had won. By now the two of them had made it to the Three Broomsticks and we're seated at their favourite table in a secluded corner.
They ordered two butterbeers and Denzi looked at Lily expectantly.
"Look, there was just a moment during detention when I turned around and smacked into him. I looked up into his eyes and I saw something… different… know?" Denzi nodded so Lily continued "Then I felt like there was a string leading me up to him. Then I kind of realized what I was about to do and just walked off and continued cleaning cauldrons. I heard him sigh but I just haven't spoken to him since."
"Lily Evans likes James Potter" Denzi said simply.
"Oh Merlin I do not!"
"Fine you don't, I've had enough of arguing wit you about this but you have to admit, you're jealous of that new chick attached to his arm"
Lily did not reply, she couldn't. It seems that Denzi had struck a nerve.
"So where do you wanna go?" Remus asked, speaking for the first time since they had left the castle. Man she is beautiful he thought I hope she doesn't say the Shrieking Shack, I hate that place.
"Ummm… How about Honeydukes? I could really go for some chocolate right now."
A/N Ok everyone. I know that was a really crappy chapter, it's my least favourite. It was going to be more about the characters other than Lily and James but it never really happened like that. I've been really busy and I'm sick today so I wanted to post something on my day off. When I did have time to write I had a bit of a writers block.
Now time to help me out, do you want a Moo/Remus chapter or a Denzi chapter? Please tell me in your review. Spread the word about my story and if you want me to read yours just tell me in your review. Thanx heaps. Also please read my other story Harry Potter; Magic and other stuff. I know extremely bad title. It's a Harry/Ginny fic by the way.
Thanx again for the reviews.
Lots of love,
