Chapter Eight
Ruined Ball and New Years Kiss
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily Evans bellowed over the crowd, dragging a rather dodgy looking guy behind her. His eyes were red and puffy, he was ghostly white and his lips held a bluish tint. He had been Lily's date. That was until James decided that he needed to put a rather complex flu potion in his food, drink, and on his clothes. So, to say her date looked like hell. Actually, that didn't quite cover what he looked like.
Lily was mad, no she was vindictive, so men be fore warned that when your parents tell you never to piss off a red head that you actually listen. So, this is why when Lily Evans stormed up to James Potter, her face held a glare that would have put the Devil himself to shame, nobody stopped her when she drew back her fist and punched him in the jaw. Then she promptly kneed him in the balls.
Nobody stopped her…They were too scared, but the cackling of one Severus Snape could be heard, echoing loudly across the Great Hall. Everybody else had gone silent…Except him—but that was about to change.
"Go wash your hair, you pathetic, slimy, grease-ball!" Lily sneered, and it held so much malice that he shut up without a second thought, and not another word was uttered. Well, except for the loudly screamed "fuck!" coming from the floor.
"I bloody well told you to stay away from him!" Lily hissed dangerously, almost daring him to get up and say something to her. Alas, he was to smart to do so. James stayed on the ground staring at her in wonder. How could someone so small pack such a punch?
"But do you ever listen to me? Of course not, I'm just a toy! You disgust me, James Potter. I never thought I would say it to your face, but now that I have I think I'll say it again! You disgusting pig!"
"Are you quite done yet?" James asked quietly.
Lily took a deep breath and nodded her head. She looked at James as if he were a dung beetle that she wanted to squish. She grabbed Andreios by the sleeve of his robe and dragged him out. She didn't spare James another look, or glare if you want to get technical.
December 31, 1978
There was a party in the Gryffindor common Room. 5th -7th years only. The 1st – 4th years had there own little party going on, seeing as the older year party's tended to get a bit out of hand. Lily wanted her New Years Kiss, from who she didn't know. But she would have one.
"Hey, Lily do you want some butterbeer—it's awesome!" a rather tipsy Frank Longbottom asked. She shook her head and kept walking. Sirius spiked the butterbeer again, there was no way Frank could drunk off those things. He would have had to at least drink ten crates to get tipsy off of it. There wasn't that much left. Sirius was going to have to make a run to Hogsmeade before the night was out.
"Guys! It's almost 12:00, get over here", Sirius yelled over the crowd. The crowd went silent and people waited for the chime of midnight. What would the New Year bring them? Grief from Voldemort? What did this year have in it that it didn't have the last year? Lily waited with baited breath.
Lily had to forgive James, and she did, but he was still getting on her nerves. He went back to the annoying, insufferable, bullying toe-rag. James wrapped his arms around her. She was not his New Years kiss!
Ten…
"I'm sorry Lily…" James muttered into her ear.
Nine…
"I've been a prick"
Eight…
"No shit?" she said sarcastically.
Seven…
He leaned into her, his hand coming to caress her cheek. His eyes fluttered shut.
Six…
She pushed his hand away from her face. She didn't want him. She didn't care.
Five…
"No, James not now", Lily whispered softly.
Four…
"Why not?"
Three
"Because—I don't—"
Two…
Lily twisted out of his arms and into Sirius's. She grabbed his face and kissed him…Smack on the lips.
One…
"Happy New Years!"
Lily pushed herself away from her. A goofy grin spread on Sirius's face, and an exasperated one on Jena's.
"Lily, if I had known that you were going to steal my boyfriend I would have chained him inside the dorm room", Jena teased.
"Don't get your knickers in a twist; I just wanted a New Years kiss."
Author's Note: Yeah, I know stupid, but what the hell? It is 11:43 PM, and there is a patrol officer circling our neighbor hood. He should have come earlier when we were outside throwing beer bottles. That would've been funny. I would have gone to a party but I didn't. Something my best friend told me. So I'm here.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
