Chapter 24-
Lily sat on the edge of her bed, looking into a full length mirror at herself. Everyone had left for the holidays and only a few students remained now of them were in her dorm so she had it all to herself. She raked her hands through her red fiery hair. 'How am I going to get James? I've never tried to get a guy to notice me before...' She thought. She opened her trunk, her clothing was nice but plain. Mostly jumpers or plain, solid colored tee-shirts. She went over to Suffie's trunk. Suffie had only brought enough clothes with her only for the entire holiday so there was clothing in her trunk left. She knew Suffie wouldn't mind. She took out a tight, three quarter sleeved black v-neck shirt and glittery, low rise jeans. She slipped them on and put on some white tennis shoes. She went into the bathroom and used her wand to curl her long hair. Then put on some light white eye shadow and lip gloss. She went and looked in the mirror again. She decided she looked good and started to walk down to the common room.
She looked around but he wasn't there. She started to walk up toward the boys dormitory hesitantly. She came to his door. 'What do I do? What do I say?' She thought frantically. She exhaled and the walked into the room only to come face to face with James, who had only a towel wrapped around his waist. Lily yelped and whirled around.
"I'm sorry, I should have knocked!" Lily said embarrassed. She could feel her cheeks burning.
"Calm down Lily, just wait one second," James said. She head the rustle of clothing and then the sound of a zipper, which made her blush harder.
"Okay, you can turn around," James said and she did. He had on a loose pair of black pants and he was buttoning up a maroon collared shirt, he left the top two buttons undone. "You need something?" He asked.
"Er...no, well not really. Do you want to do something?" Lily stuttered.
"No thanks, I'm busy," James said as he messed up his wet hair.
"Uh, okay. I guess I'll be going," Lily said and quickly left the room. She ran down the stairs and out of the common room. She hurriedly walked down the hall till she bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," Lily apologized.
"It's okay, I'm Riley Thyme," The girl said. She was very petite and had grey blue eyes. Her hair was streaked with colors of brown, black, and a reddish color. (AN- hard to describe but my pic of it in my head looks really cool lol)
"I'm Lily Evans," Lily said.
"Why did you seem so hurried?" Riley asked.
"Nothing really, just guy trouble I guess you could say," Lily mumbled.
"Well then I'm just the girl to help you, come on let's go to the kitchens and you can tell me what happened," Riley said. Lily smiled, at least she had someone to keep her company over the holiday now. They came to a portrait and tickled the pear and it swung open. A house elf greeted them and they both asked for some hot cocoa. They took a seat at a table.
"So, what happened?" Riley asked.
"Well there's this guy..." Lily said.
"Obviously," Riley giggled. The house elf came back and gave them the cocoa. Lily smiled and took a sip.
"Well, he liked me. I guess I was in denial or something because he asked me if I could really say I didn't like him at all and I said I didn't. So I guess he got over me, I was stupid. I don't know why I told him I didn't like him. Now I've been trying to get his attention and he's been totally blowing me off..." Lily said.
"Oh, so basically you need help seducing him," Riley said while taking a sip. Lily blushed and looked down at the table.
"Well, when you put it that way I feel so stupid," Lily said. Riley chuckled a bit and shook her head.
"Fine, I'll help you get him to like you again," Riley said.
"Thank you," Lily smiled "So what house and year are you?"
"Er...ImafourthyearSlytherin," Riley said really fast.
"Slytherin?" Lily said.
"Yes, but I'm not like them. I don't know why I'm in Slytherin. We're not all bad I swear, our house name just has a bad reputation," Riley said.
"That's okay, I don't mind," Lily said and smiled, Riley smiled back.
"I vote we go walk around outside and talk about this 'guy'," She said.
"Good idea," Lily agreed.
Lily and Riley had on their cloaks, gloves, and scarves. Lily's scarf gold and red, signature Gryffindor colors, Riley's silver and green. They walked over the light snow talking as they did. Lily suddenly stopped and turned around walking the other way, pulling Riley to do the same.
"What, why did we turn?" Riley asked.
"That's him," Lily mumbled. Riley looked back trying not to be to obvious about it.
"J...James Potter? You like James?" Riley stammered.
"Yeah," Lily said.
"He seems so horrid. He's forever pulling pranks on us Slytherins, him and his friends," Riley said.
:"Yes. He use to do the same to me. It was bloody horrible. If he knew you though, I'm sure he would stop pranking on you at least," Lily said.
"Then let's go see him. Just yesterday he magicked my books to attack me when they open," Riley said pulling on Lily's sleeve.
"I don't know. I don't think we're on talking standards," Lily said blushing lightly as she looked over at him. He was with another boy now and they were both laughing. She watched James nod about something and wave as the boy left. He looked up and his eyes locked with Lily's. Another blush of crimson spread over Lily's cheeks. If she was seeing correctly, he had blushed a bit also. A light snow started to flutter down. Lily quickly spun back around.
"Oh come on now silly, this is your chance. Try to talk to him. You can't get him to like you again if you don't talk! Oi, he's coming over here right now!" Riley whispered.
"Er...Hey Lily," James said. Lily turned around.
"'Ello James," She stuttered, Riley elbowed her. "Oh, this is Riley Thyme."
"We've met. Hi, I'm the girl whose books you charmed to attack her when she opened them," Riley said sarcastically cheerful.
"Sorry, Sirius's idea," James said while kicking some snow with his shoe. "Well, I'll see you both around." He said and walked by in between them. Lily felt him brush her shoulder as he walked by, she felt a tingling sensation as he did. Lily let out a huge sigh.
"You have to be more aggressive," Riley said.
"W...what?" Lily stammered.
"Next time, don't let him get away like that! Make him talk to you!" Riley laughed and pushed some hair out of her face. "you also have to flirt more."
"But how, how do I flirt with him. It's so hard," Lily sighed.
"Like stand or sit closer to him, look into his eyes not the ground, oh and if you get a chance wink or touch his arm or hand," Riley listed.
"I'll try," Lily said softly.
"Don't try, just do it. Let it come naturally. I have the perfect idea!" Riley shouted.
"What?" Lily laughed.
"Okay this is the plan..." Riley said.
Lily took a seat next to James in the Great Hall. She sat very close to him, her hip grazed his.
"Pass the pumpkin juice?" Lily asked.
"S..sure," James stuttered. He reached over and poured some out of the pitcher into her goblet.
"Thank you," Lily said and grinned brightly. She ate quickly and then pushed her plate away. Her leg brushed up against James as she turned toward him.
"I have a huge problem," Lily muttered.
"What is it," James said concerned.
"Follow me," She said and stood up, he did the same and followed her out of the Great Hall. She turned around and put a blindfold over his eyes, trail one finger down his neck as she finished.
"Okay, why did you blindfold me?" He asked.
"It's a secret," She whispered and took his hand. She led him down a few halls, and up a lot of stairs till they finally got to where she was headed. She stepped into the astronomy tower. It was a little chilly outside but it had been charmed so all the snow that had fallen before had not landed on the ground.
"Okay now lay down," Lily instructed. James blushed crimson but did as she had told them. Lily lay next to him on the cold cement flooring. She took hold of his hand and took the blindfold off with her other hand. James eyes snapped open and he looked up, revealing the sky full of stars. It was a very clear night out, no clouds were left in the sky.
"Think you can beat me this time?" She said softly and moved closer to him. She had told Riley about their first kiss, on her roof playing a game with the stars (think back every one lol) and Riley had came up with this idea.
"B..but what was your problem?" James asked.
"Well, you see there's this beautiful sky with twinkling stars, and a great game I know of...but no one to share it with..." Lily said softly. James let out a large sigh, as if debating what to do. Lily bit her lip waiting to hear what he would say.
"I'm sure you can find someone else," He said in a low voice. He stood up and walked back inside. Lily stood up and kicked the wall.
"Arg! Why will nothing work!" Lily yelled, she kicked the wall again "Ow, that hurt!" She said holding one foot and jumping around to balance. She finally pulled herself together and walked back inside. She met up with Riley in the library.
"Well, what happened?" Riley asked with a smile.
"Nothing, he got up and walked away," Lily muttered, Riley's smile faded.
"How, that's impossible!" She said.
"He's over me. How can he just be over me that fast. Does that me I meant nothing to him?" Lily said.
"No, of course not. Don't think that way. I think your feeling the same way he felt when you rejected him!" Riley said.
"I'm so stupid," Lily said as she stood up. Riley looked up at her.
"No your not! Don't worry about it, okay?" She said. Lily nodded and staggered out of the library and up to the Gryffindor common room. James was sitting on the couch a book in his lap but he was staring into the fire. Lily paused and he looked up at her. She ignored him and walked up the stairs to her dorm and fell asleep.
So Lily finally likes James but he's doesn't like her. I am SO evil. He'll start to give in though . Hope everyone likes it, please update!
