A/N: I don't own any of this. Except for the plot.
Oh, and poor poor Jamesies. At least we know he gets his flower in the end. So now, go on, READ IT! Smiles innocently or else… dun dun dun………..SO READ IT!
James' Jealousy
Lily wasn't the only one who seemed to notice Will's good looks. The whole female population of Hogwarts seemed to have taken up an interest in the new student. Some girls had actually swooned. And why shouldn't they? He was 6'3, had caramel hair, and lightly tanned skin. His face was kind and gentle with amazing hazel eyes. And he had the biggest muscles Lily had ever seen.
"They're almost as good as James'. His nice tanned muscles…Wait, what the heck am I thinking? James doesn't have nice muscles. Jerks don't have muscles…ok fine, he has nice muscles. Lily admitted. But just because he has a nice body… FINE! Just because he has a really nice body… is no reason for him to act so arrogant. But Lily, think of how nice it would feel to hold…Lily shrieked, causing her friends to glance at her curiously. But she didn't notice. I don't know who the heck is in my mind but please, please get out! James Potter is an insufferable jerk and his head is so inflated I'm surprised he fits through the doors every day. And with one last admonition to that annoying voice inside her head, she returned to eating her apple fritter.
James and Sirius, along with the rest of Hogwarts males, had noticed the attention of half the hall was on Will. This was bad news for both of them, being ladies men and all. So, of course, they did the only sensible, practical thing to do at that moment. They glared at Will.
"The guy can only have one girl at a time right?" James said worriedly to Sirius. "So we can have the rest."
"Ya," Sirius replied, with his trademark-melt-your-heart smile back on his face. "We can have the rest."
"And if we can't, there is always Lily. She's not like all the other girls. She thinks looks aren't everything," James murmured to himself. Then he turned around to look at Lily. Lily, just like all the other girls, had her eyes fixed on Will. Now James was stoked. Flames were basically coming out of his ears… but that also may have been because Sirius had slipped a couple of Pepper-Imps into poor James' pumpkin juice while he was staring avidly at Lily.
"He can take the whole damn female population for all I care. But he is not taking Lily!" And with this lovely thought, he stomped heavily up towards the common room, without even eating, which was quite a shock. Sirius didn't notice, though, being too busy inhaling his food.
"Come on. It has got to be somewhere." Lily said while rummaging through her trunk. Clothes were flying everywhere. Her things were scattered among the 6 beds in her dormitory. Where the hell is it?" Lily screamed. She was so mad. She was sure she packed it. Where was it?
Then suddenly, she found it, attempted to dance around the now-messy dormitory, and knocked right into her best friend Ana.
"Oh, sorry Ana. But, I found it!"
"What were you looking for?" said Anna, cautiously getting up from the stone floor.
"This." Lily said triumphantly, holding up a purple bag. It had flowers on it and a whole bunch of brand new, Witch-Weekly makeup was crammed into it. "I have been looking for this for thirty minutes."
"Um, Lil?" Lily was trying to squirm past Anna to do some more dancing, but Anna was being stubborn.
"Ya?" Lily said exasperated at her curious friend.
"Why do you need makeup?" Anna asked, a curious and puzzled look on her face.
"Well, you know the new guy that is here. I just want Will to… you know… notice me." Lily blushed in sharp contrast with her emerald eyes. And James. No. I don't feel anything for him. I really like Will. She convinced herself. "So I need to impress him. To stand out. "
"Lils, you are beautiful. You don't need makeup. Your natural beauty is fine."
"Ya right," Lily sighed. "I don't have any natural beauty. You have all the beauty."
"If you aren't beautiful, then why did I see about five different guys staring at you during dinner?" Anna asked with one eyebrow raised. Lily blushed a deep shade of red.
"WHAT?" said a shocked masculine voice from the other side of the door. Lily quickly ran to open the door.
"JAMES HENRY POTTER HOW DARE YOU LISTEN IN ON MY CONVERSATIONS!" Lily yelled furiously when she saw James with his ear pressed to her now non-existent door. She quickly grabbed her wand out of her back pocket and pointed it threateningly at him. "GO AWAY BEFORE I DECIDE WHETHER TO INCINERATE YOU OR HEX YOU!"
James looked shocked and terrified, then he sighed.
"I'm sorry." Lily's eyebrows threatened to levitate off her face. THE James Potter was apologizing… HOW DARE HE! She was in the perfect mood for a heart-pumping head-throbbing ear-splitting argument.
"It's just…oh well…never mind." James sighed and started to turn away. Now, Lily was frustrated at him, but she wasn't heartless. It was her turn to sigh.
"What's wrong Potter?" Gah! I can't believe I just said that!
"Nothing really, Lilykins." Then seeing Lily's face tense up, getting ready to yell at him, he continued. "It's just that that new kid, Bill or something like that, is taking all the ladies so I came back to the common room. Then I heard you screaming and throwing stuff around so I came up to investigate, and I heard you to talking. I couldn't resist, Lily. I'm sorry." James gave Lily a puppy dog look before hanging his head and walking slowly down the staircase.
"And don't you dare think that just because you give me that face doesn't mean I will ever like you James!" she yelled after him. He just smirked back at her. That is a lie and you know it. You like him already. GET OUT OF MY BLOODY HEAD! YOU ARE LYING! (Wait, what am I saying) I could never like James Potter. She accidentally said the last part out loud.
"Whatever you say Lily." Anna said right before drifting off to sleep, which frankly, was lucky for her, because Lily would've admonished her otherwise.
Lily eventually pulled back the covers and slipped into bed, the golden silk sheets rustling gently against her cotton, dancing bunny pajamas.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, Lily's alarm clock chimed. Lily woke with a start. Today was the first day of the new year. She got up and stumbled to the bathroom. She took a quick, steaming hot shower and put on some makeup, with the assistance of Anna.
Eventually, Anna looked at her masterpiece and grinned. Lily looked great.
"Shit. I'm late. I can't believe this. I'm never late. What do I have first thing?" she looked at her schedule. "Transfiguration. Oh well. Here comes detention."
Still furious with herself, Lily grabbed her stuff and headed for the Transfiguration classroom. I can't believe this. I'm never late. I should have to gotten up earlier. Oh man, Professor McGonagall is going to be so mad.
Lily was so mad that somehow she didn't even notice the whistles and pickup lines she received walking down the Grand Staircase. Some guy even slipped his number into her back pants pocket. But she didn't notice anything at all until she ran into someone who was foolish enough to get in her way.
"Oh. I'm sorry." She said. She looked up, right into the gorgeous hazel eyes of William Sanders.
