Life Isn't Fair
Lily sighed as she walked along the corridor to the Great Hall for dinner.
It had been a month and James and Katelin were still together.
Lily had watched painfully as the couple walked arm in arm to every class.
As if that wasn't sickening enough, she had accidently walked in on a snogging session in the common room for the heads or the broomstick cupboard.
Lily would go bright red and mumble a quick sorry while, running off somewhere in the opposite direction. But it turned out that they didn't even notice her.
Everytime she saw them together, she felt sick and felt sad as she thought that it could have been her in Katelin's place.
"If only i had given him a chance..."She thought miserably, now walking past the Fat Lady and going down the stairs.
"I'm so stupid! I lost James and my best friends, just beacuse of my stupidity! I should have-"
SPLASH
Lily was taken out of her thoughts as a massive water balloon collided with her head.
She screamed. She felt her temper rising up.
She looked above her and there was Peeves, grinning cheekily at her and waving waterballoon at her.
"Y-y-YOU.."She trailed off as she couldn't think of anything else to say.
Peeves cackled maniacally.
He aimed another waterballon at her, this time, hitting her square in the chest.
"ARGH! STOP IT! STOP IT!"She screamed as Peeves continued pelting her with waterballoons, while doing some kind of flamingo dance in mid air.
She continued to scream at him. She tried running away, but slipped on some water and toppled over.
Peeves laughed heartily.
She kept on slipping and getting hit by Peeves. Then, she realised that the water had a charm on it, so that the victim would slip.
"ARGH! LET ME GO! YOU CRAZY FAT FLOATING MAN!"
Peeves continued laughing and dancing.
"WON'T SAY NO IF YOU DON'T SAY PLEASE!"Peeves sang.
"ARGH!"Lily screamed, exasperated."FINE! PLEASE!"
"NO!"Peeves screamed, delightedly."I told you I wouldn't say no if you didn't say please!"
He doubled up with laughter and after he had stopped, he continued attacking her with water balloons.
Lily continued screaming and cursing that everyone was at dinner.
Lily and the floor around her was flooding with water.
Suddenly, there was a bang and Peeves went flying back and hit the wall.
Lily looked around, sharply.
Her eyes rested on James. Relieved, she stood up, but falling down again.
Her face burning from embarrasment, as she explained."The water's charmed. You'll slip."
James smirked and said,"Well, it's very amusing seeing you here, soaking wet and slipping. I may as well leave you here...you look very comfortable."
Lily's relieved face turned into a horrified one."WHAT! NO! YOU HAVE TO HELP ME!"
James smirked even more."And why should I do that? Oh, well. As you can't come up with a good reason, I'll leave."
"THAT'S NOT FAIR!" Lily screamed after James, furiously.
James turned around and smiled pleasantly.
"Life isn't fair, so get used to it..."Was all he said before leaving.
Lily screamed out in frustration and began cursing Peeves and James at the top of her voice.
A few minutes later, James came back, with an amused look on his face.
"Hey, Evans...I thought you were smart. Haven't you figured out how to get rid of the water?"
Lily shook her head, still furious."How am I supposed to know!"
James smirked."All it takes is a simple charm. Scourgify."
The water disappeared.
Lily hit herself on the head.
"URGH! WHY AM I SO STUPID!"
James smiled and helped her up.
Lily put a drying charm on her clothes but it wouldn't work.
"What is with this thing!"
James examined it, carefully."It won't be dried magically. You have to wait for it to dry naturally. We haven't got time for you to change back, now. We have to go."
Lily sighed of frustration and walked down with James to the Great Hall.
Even if she was dripping wet with water, she somehow felt content.
She was walking with James. James Potter.
Although this would have never happened a year ago, she was enjoying walking with him.
They finally got to the Great Hall and entered. Everyone stared at the sight of a dripping wet Lily. They finally started laughing, but good naturedly.
Lily and James walked over to the Gryffindor table. James went to sit with the Marauders, but Lily didn't know where to sit. Amy and Jenny were avoiding her eyes.
She looked around sadly. James seemed to know what she was thinking, for he motioned at her to come to his side of the table.
She gladly went.
He scooted a bit to the side so she could sit next to him. She sat, giving him a grateful smile.
"Thanks, James."She said.
James smiled back."No, problem."
Remus, Sirius and Peter looked suprised.
"Er, what's up with you two?" Remus asked, sheepishly.
"Yeah! She's not slapping you!"Sirius added.
Lily scowled at him.
"Yeah! Her face isn't looking like a boiling rat!"Peter chipped in.
Lily glared heavily at this.
Peter noticed this and sqeaked,"What? It's meant to be a compliment! I like rats!"
Lily rolled her eyes and helped herself to some meat pie.
"We decided to be friends."James said.
"Oh. That's great!"Remus and Sirius exclaimed at the same time.
"So, does that mean Lily-flower-"Sirius started, a smirk playing on his lips.
Remus shot him a glare that clearly said,"Don't tease her you immature prat!"
Sirius shut up.
James opened his mouth to say something but stopped and a look of horror came onto his handsome face.
"What's the matter Prongs?"Remus and Sirius said at the same time.
"A-A-Allanah A-Alert!" He whimpered.
Lily looked confused."What's that?"
"It's this scary girl who's stalking James."Remus explained.
Lily looked at James' terrified face and expected to see something terrible.
Few seconds later Allanah was standing behind them.
"JAMESIE-POO!"She shrieked.
James flinched, looking petrified.
Lily stifled a laugh.
Remus and Sirius were, once again, smirking. Peter was too busy eating.
"So, Jamesie-Poo."Allanah started."I was wondering if we could go to the next Hogsmeade trip, together. We could go to Madam Puddifoot's."
She looked at James, eagerly.
"Are you out of your mind? I hate that flowery teashop!"James snapped disgusted, forgetting his fear of her.
Allanah looked a little disappointed but said,"Well, let's go somewhere else, then, Jamesie!"
"Listen, Allanah. I'm sorry but iIhave a girlfriend. I'm not intrested in you. Okay?"James said, as if he was about to be dropped into a tank of sharks.
Allanah looked scandalised as if she'd just been slapped."WHAT! YOU DON'T WANT TO GO OUT WITH ME! Y-Y-YOU-"
It seemed like Allanah was another person who couldn't think of anything else to say.
She spluttered and looked around, her pale cheeks, bright red.
Her eyes landed on Remus.
Her face regained its color. She smiled sweetly.
"Hi Remmi-Poo."She said.
Remus jumped back, his eyes wide and looking terrified at the pet name.
Lily, James and Sirius snorted with laughter.
"Well, Remmi-Poo, how would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me?"She said sweetly.
James choked, trying to hide his laughter.
Allanah looked at him. "Oh, Jamesie. I know you're feeling sad. I know we had something special but I feel that I should move on."
She said this, sympathetically, patting him on the head, as if he were a puppy.
James blinked and snorted in disbelief."Did you even HEAR what i said!"
Allanah ignored him.
"Well, Remmie-Poo, you should be making up your mind."Sirius said, sweetly, with a smirk on his face.
Remus shot him a death glare.
Then, he smiled.
"Well, Allanah. I value your friendship but i think you deserve better than me. But i know just the person who is perfect for you! I know for a fact that our dear old friend Sirius is desperate for a girlfriend. What do you think?"
"WHAT!"Yelled Sirius.
"YES!"Yelled Allanah.
It was Remus' turn to snort with laughter.
"Well, Siri-Poo, it's decided. I'll meet you at the entrance hall at 9 am sharp. Don't you dare be late! Make sure you wear a silk robe with a velvet bow on the collar of your shirt!"Allanah rambled on.
"What! But-"Sirius tried to say, desperately.
"I'll see you then, Siri-Poo!"Allanah sang, as she skipped off.
He looked furious and scared at the same time.
"Y-y-you!"He stuttered at Remus, who was grinning like he'd just won the lottery.
"It's you're fault that i'm stuck with this nutcase!"Sirius yelled.
"Oh no, Siri-Poo! Did i do something wrong!"Remus asked, wide eyed.
"THIS ISN"T FAIR!"
"Life isn't fair, Siri-Poo."Remus replied, smirking.
Sirius gave a sigh of frustration and remained silent and glaring for the rest of the night.
Lily went to her dormitory, smiling.
She was in a good mood for the first time in the last month. The Marauders were...nice!
She hummed a tune while she sat on her bed, taking out her Charms book to review the section they'd just be studying.
Then, she noticed a letter on her desk.
It said, "To Miss L. Evans," on the envelope.
Picking it up and looking at it, curiously, she opened it and quickly scanned the letter.
She gasped.
She read the letter again, making sure that the thing she read was really there.
Her rosy cheeks drained of all color, as she dropped the letter on the floor and fell onto the floor, weeping...
A/N: Well, hope you all enjoyed that. I tried to do a cliffhanger there, if you haven't noticed, already... Lily could be crying out of happiness or crying out of sadness.
It's gonna say what happened in the next chapter. Anyway please review...the more you review, the sooner i could update... Anyway, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed it.
