Dating the Enemy

Disclaimer: I really wish I owned Harry Potter, but sadly, I'm a 13 year old loser who sits here and writes Fan fiction for fun. I don't own ANYTHING. NOTHING! Ok, I do own Brigette Cleremont and Victoria Michaels but that's it!

P.S. No flaming what so ever!

This story is dedicated to xKayDeex for being my very first reviewer for this story!

Chapter 2—The Deal is Made

Complete silence fell in the compartment as everyone stared at James (besides Sirius, who was laughing at the horrified expression on Lily's face).

"No way!" Lily shrieked. "NO WAY!"

"Yes way." James smirked, loving the expression on Lily's face.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Lily cried. "What did I do to deserve this kind of torture?"

Nobody had an answer.

James checked his watch. "Lily Billy, I believe we have a meeting to attend to."

Lily turned to her friends and mouthed Help Me.

Brigette and Victoria smirked and waggled their fingers at Lily. "Buh-bye."

Lily glared at them before following James Potter out of the compartment.

As soon as their footsteps faded away, Victoria laughed and said, "I bet five Galleons that when they get back Lily will be shouting at him."
"Deal!" Sirius and Brigette cried.

"So, Evans how—"

"Don't talk to me Potter."
"I'm just being—"

"I said don't talk to me Potter."

"Would you stop cutting me—"

"Are you deaf?" Lily snapped. "I said don't talk to me!"

"But it's much more fun annoying you!" James laughed. "Oh—by the way, will you go out with—"

"NO!" Lily made a mental note to tell Victoria that so she could mark it down in the notebook.

"Do you understand what I'm saying, Potter? I don't like you and I never will like you! So stop pestering me!"

James stopped short in the hallway, his mouth wide open in shock at Lily's outburst.

Smirking, Lily continued on saying, "Shut your mouth Potter. You're catching flies."

James shut his mouth and raced after Lily, trying to push away the outburst that kept replaying in his mind.

"If you have any questions or concerns," Lily said calmly in the Head compartment. "Feel free to ask Potter or I. We will be happy to assist."

"Does that mean the meeting's over?" A fifth year asked Lily.

"Yes, Johnson. It does."

"Good—cause I was afraid that I'd fall asleep like James did." The fifth year said, pointing to a sleeping James.

Lily looked at Potter and scowled, then turned back to the prefects and said sweetly, "You can leave."

The prefects scrambled out of the compartment, not wanting to be when Lily blew up at James.

Lily waited until all the prefects were gone before whirling around and kicking James hard in the shins.

"OUCH!" James shouted, waking up from his slumber and clutching his legs. "Evans! That hurt!"
"Serves you right." Lily said coldly. "You weren't setting an example for the prefects!"

"I always fall asleep at meetings with long speeches!" James protested, gingerly standing up and testing to see if he could walk. "Damn Evans! You kick hard!"

"I am very proud of that too." The redhead smiled in satisfaction. Playing soccer for eleven years hadn't been a waste of her time at all.

James edged slightly away from her as the two left the head compartment—arguing.

"You don't need to kick someone when their sleeping."
"If they deserve it then yes they need a punishment."
"But kicking?"
Lily gave a thin smile. "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
"What the hell does that mean?"

Lily rolled her eyes. "You're so stupid, Potter. I don't know how you even managed to pass sixth year."

"Sheer luck." James said.

The two continued to argue about nothing until they got to their compartment.

Victoria smiled and cupped her ear to hear better.

"Music to my ears." She held out her hand. "Pay up."

Grumbling, Brigette and Sirius coughed up five Galleons each.

"Pleasure doing business with you." Victoria pocketed her ten Galleons.

BAM!

The door flew open to a bickering Lily and James.

"For the last time," Lily shouted, "figure it out on your own!"

"It's a Muggle expression!" James bellowed. "You seriously think I would know?"

"ARGH!" Lily screamed so loud that that they all had to cover their ears.

"Damn you Evans!" Sirius cried, his fingers in his ears. "You think you could shut up for once?"

Lily turned to her friends, "I'm gonna use the bathroom. I'll be back."

Stalking out, she shut the door with a resounding slam.

"God," James said, staring at the door. "That woman needs serious anger management issues."

"I believe you are the one that makes her angry." Remus replied, reading his Transfiguration book. "What did you do this time?"

"Nothing!"

"Yeah right."

"I did!" James insisted. "I fell asleep during Lily's incredibly long speech and she kicked me in my shins—it hurt real badly, mind you, and then started yelling at me for 'not setting an example for the prefects.' I don't get what's with this girl!"

"Maybe that little falling asleep in the heads ticked her off." Victoria suggested, flipping through her book.

James ignored Victoria's comment and said, "I really like Lily—and I really want her to go out with me."
"By the rate you're going," Sirius sniggered, "she'll never fall in love with you."

James glared. "Shut up Sirius!"
"I'm just speaking the truth!" Sirius protested.

Remus snorted. "For once."

"Nobody asked you, Remus!"
James glared at Sirius and Remus. "Shut up! I need to think!"

Brigette clapped her hands to her face. "Mon Dieu!" She squealed. "James Potter is actually studying? Where has the world come to?"

"Be quiet Brigette." James snapped. "And let me think."
"Give him all the time he has," Victoria laughed. "This will be the first and last time he'll ever think."
"Victoria!" James shouted. "Do you want kicked off the Quidditch team?"
Victoria rolled her eyes but said nothing else.

About a minute later, James' face lit up and he said excitedly, "I got it! I got the perfect plan!"

"For once." Brigette muttered.

James never heard her as he continued, "I got to make her jealous!"
Remus looked puzzled. "How?"

"Easy!" James puffed out his chest. "I just got to date somebody—ignore her—stop asking her out and be with that person until Lily loves me!"

He gave a wide smile and everybody stared at him blankly.

"What?" James' smile slowly slipped away. "You don't think it will work?"
"Actually," Brigette said slowly. "That idea is just stupid enough to work."

"Thanks—I think."

"Well, you got another dilemma, Prongs." Remus said, "Who are you going to ask? Every girl at Hogwarts—would never give you up for Lily Evans and you know that."
"I know that!" James dismissed that with a wave of his hand. "I already thought of what to do! I'm gonna date one of Lily's best friends!" He glanced hopefully at Victoria and Brigette. "Ladies?"
"Back off Potter." Victoria warned. "I already got a boyfriend. And I like him this time."
"Who?" Sirius asked in amazement. "I thought you hated boys."
Victoria chucked her book at him. "I'm not gay," she snapped. "And it's Ryan Armstrong."

"That Ravenclaw bloke?" Sirius exploded. (A/N: Sirius does NOT like Victoria. He's just surprised cause Victoria is a tomboy) "He cheats at Quidditch!"

Victoria glared. "Watch it Black."

"Moving on," James said, and glanced hopefully at Brigette.

"Brigette?"

Brigette looked thoughtful, pulled out a dark blue notebook and checked the names.

"I haven't dated James at all," Brigette announced, shutting the notebook shut. "And you're the only boy I need to date—so okay."

"You still keep that stupid notebook?" Victoria groaned.

"What about yours?" Brigette changelled.

James paid no attention to the small argument because he was congragulating himself inside.

"Lily's gonna like me!" James cried happily, then turned serious.

"You guys can't tell Lily. Then, the plan won't work."
"Yeah Vicky," Brigette said loudly. "You can't tell anybody."

Victoria moved uncomfortably. "Okay! I'll keep my mouth shut! I'll try at least!"
"You better," James warned. "Or I'll kick you off the team."
Victoria cackled. "Kick me off? I'm the best Seeker you've ever had."
"She's right, Prongs." Sirius said. "She's the best Seeker we've ever had. Unless you want to loose the Quidditch Cup, I suggest you keep her on."
"Fine." James muttered, "but try and keep your mouth shut."
"Scout's honor." Victoria promised.

"What's going on here?" A voice asked and Lily stood in the doorway, her emerald green eyes questioning.

James' heart leapt at the sight of the red haired beauty and he was tempted to break off the deal but he kept reminding himself that it would all be worth it at the end when Lily was madly in love with him.

"Oh, I have great news!" Brigette piped up. "Me and Jamesie here are going out!"
Lily looked shocked. "What do you know? I leave for five minutes and my best friend dates the Class A idiot." She laughed.

"Well, congrats, but you know he'll just break your heart a week later."

We'll see about that Lily. James thought to himself. We'll see.

Yay! I finished chapter 2 and the new couple is Brigette and James!

Okay, I know Peter Pettigrew's not in this story but it's cuz I can't STAND the little rat! He sold Lily and James so he's not in ANY of my stories! 
