Horrifying Realizations
Hogsmede weekend. Lily and Gabi were currently in Honeydukes, buying Droobles Best Blowing Gum ( Lily was out), while Emily and Melissa had opted to join the Marauders at Zonkos.
"Why we let them in that store, I'll never be able to tell." Gabi muttered, her teeth beginning to stick together from the gum. Lily didn't say anything, just stared out the window, watching people go in and out of the front door of the Post Office. "Hello? Earth to Lily?" Gabi said, watching her red-haired friend blow a huge bubble, then sigh when it popped.
" Why am I going on a date with him, Gabi? I mean, what would possess me to do such a thing?" Lily asked suddenly, looking at her friend.
"Whoa, just a few minutes ago you were raving about how wonderful Malfoy was and how excited you were to go meet him!"
" I WHAT!" Lily exclaimed, jumping up. " WHY?"
"You've got to be kidding me…you've been saying it all week!" Gabi answered, a confused expression on her face.
" I HATE MALFOY! Why did I say yes when he asked me out?!?!?! He's DISGUSTING!" Lily screeched, then shut her mouth quickly when she saw other customers staring. Gabi stared at her, a horrified look on her face.
"So wait, you're telling me that you don't remember saying yes to him when he asked you out?" Gabi asked.
"No, I remember, but wait, WHY DID I SAY YES???" Lily shouted, a horrible feeling coming over her, then she quickly sat back down when she caught a glaring 6th year Hufflepuff's eye.
" So you said yes, but now you don't want to go out with him? You've changed your mind?" Gabi asked, trying to understand.
"No, I never wanted to go out with him! Oh, I can't believe this is happening," Lily groaned, placing her head in her hands.
"So wait, you didn't say yes on purpose…you meant to say no, but you couldn't…turn him down? Cause if that's the case Lil, you are way to nice." Gabi stated, watching her friend as she shook her head, swaying back and forth. "Whoah Lily, are you ok?"
" He's been drugging me…with some kind of potion, I know he has. It's the only thing that makes sense. He's had plenty of opportunities, and the only one that had to happen with perfect certainty was the first one. Every other time would be easy because I was assured to be all lovey-dovey with him. EWW! Oh! I NEED A HOT SHOWER!" But then she began rambling on, too hard to understand. Gabi just watched her, her eyes wide."…the first time was at Breakfast when he asked me to sit with him because he had a question about our Transfiguration Essay…I remember he handed me a goblet of Orange Juice…and then I remember him asking to "escort" me to class…whatever that means…and I said YES? WHY WOULD I SAY YES???" Lily asked herself, her eyes wide, her breathing quickening. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Marauders coming out of Zonko's, and she stood up. "And I've been a complete jerk to James…"she whispered, watching him laugh at some joke Sirius had just said. And without another word she ran out of Honeydukes and into the windy streets of Hogsmede.
"Lily…" James began, but before he could continue, Lily had wrapped her arms around his neck and was kissing him fiercely.
"Atta boy Prongs!" Sirius said, whistling. Remus nudged him with his elbow, a signal for Sirius to shut up.
James slid his arms around Lily's waist and kissed her back, not stopping to understand what was happening. When Lily pulled back, he looked carefully into her emerald eyes, searching for a look of joking or teasing. But there was none.
"James, I'm so sorry…it wasn't me…"but before she cold finish, James had captured her mouth again.
"She didn't come sir" Malfoy said, a malicious tone to his voice.
"And why didn't she?" The mysterious Slytherin asked.
"I don't know. Perhaps she discovered I had been using the Potion on her. But I will make sure that she has the pleasure of meeting you soon. Very soon…"
A/N AHHH! EVIL! I KNOW!!! But hey, finally some Lily/James action...heehee...I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I hope you like it! REVIEW!
Who was expecting that? Ya'll just thought Lily was being an idiot didn't you? Or you didn't cause you're weird and don't mind Lily and Malfoy being together.Well, that relationship just sorta bothers me, so...heehee...MAYBE you'll find out who the big baddie is in the next chapter. But I Make no promises.(probably because I'm not even quite sure who he is! He hasn't decided to tell me yet:) Just kidding, but really,I have absolutely no idea who he is , so I'm still in the braistorming phase right now. If you have any suggestions, please tell me!
Thanks a bunch to bookworm2011! You are amazing!
