Chapter 2: Accidents happen, unfortunately
After stuffing her face, Lily clambered up to the Gryffindor Dormitory and crawled into her bed. The next day Lily woke up to Kaytlin screaming in her ear.
"Oww! Shutup Kayt, im tryna get some sleep here" moaned Lily. Lily eventually sat up in bed after listening to Kaytlin singing "Its Mornin' " by Deren Warbeck.
They both went down to grab some breakfast before going to Charms, their first ever lesson of 7th Year. Thus begins 7th Year thought Lily as they entered the dungeons for Potions.
Their first day was an eventful one with Peter setting fire to Professor Flitwick's hair whilst trying to do a Disillusion Charm. As Lily asked Professor Flitwick if he was ok she heard sniggers coming from the back of the classroom. She guessed it was probably Sirius and James, so she turned around to tell them where to stick themselves. However, as she turned around, she was so shocked she couldn't even say anything. To her utmost surprise, Sirius was the only one sniggering, but it was James who was on his feet, wand at the ready.
"Aguamenti" said James, causing a jet of water to fly from his wand and set out the fire.
"Thank you Mr. Potter" squeaked Professor Flitwick and then dried himself before giving Peter detention.
"Its ok sir" said James and looked at Lily before sitting back down, as if to say 'I'm different now'.
Lily smiled at him gratefully before turning around and James returned it instantly. After the lesson James caught up with her to ask if he could have a quick word with her and Lily was only too happy to comply.
"Um Lily, I may as well call you by your name after knowing you for so long. I just wanted to let you know that I know I've been a complete idiot these last few years asking you out 24/7 and all-"began James.
"Too right you have" muttered Lily.
James gave her an apologetic look. "-yeah so, I'm not like that anymore, I've changed, I swear, I'm mature now. So, I just want you to give me another chance Lily, please. I want to show you that I'm different now and" James took a moment to take a deep breath before proceeding. "And I truly love you. Please give me a second chance?" said James.
"Wow, um James… I really don't know what to say…I never really thought you would ever say something like this so.. yeah I suppose that proves you've changed. And yeah I have noticed that you aren't how you used to be. So James…….I'll give you another chance, but this is your last because I haven't forgotten the last time I went out with you." replied Lily.
"Lily, about in 6th Year when you went out with me-"started James.
"No James please I don't want to be reminded about that after I've just given you another chance to show me that you can be a nice, normal, decent boy." cut across Lily.
With that Lily walked away leaving James standing alone in the dark corridor.
Lily felt tears form as her mind was flooded by memories of when she and James had gone out at the beginning of 6th Year. Slowly she felt herself lose control of her thoughts and her mind took over.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
She had always acted as if she hated James and she kind of did but didn't really. It was weird. To be truthful, she actually thought he was cute, funny and very hot. What! No! James Potter! Come on Lily, get real! Ok….well maybe….fine he is…yeah, yeah, fine he's cute, funny and hot…okay okay very hot! Bloody Hell Ms. Whoeveryouare you're bloody thorough alright! Your conscience actually! Hmm…if you say so. Yeah I do say so, but anyway…..Lily never ever agreed to go out with James because she thought he never really liked her and Lily knew that she would only be another notch on his bedpost.
But at the beginning of 6th Year Lily surprised everyone when she agreed to go out with James Potter. Lily, you there? Yeah what? Why did you go out with him? Well…..because I actually did like him and I wanted to. Oh okay. So, Lily went out with James. There first date- Hey umm Ms. Conscience can I tell this instead? Yeah sure if you want to. Ok, thanks. So it was my first date with James, I was really nervous but I was looking forward to it. I had dressed up and everything because James told me to. Kayt and Alyssa had been teasing me non-stop about it. I really miss Alyssa but she'll be coming to Hogwarts a week late because of what happened to her, but that's another story.
Anyway our date. James met me at the Entrance. He was looking all smart in a tuxedo and he greeted me with a majestic bow and said 'Her comes my Queen.' and I really did feel like a Queen, I was so happy and I felt that I was doing the right thing by going out with him. He took me to a lovely restaurant in Hogsmeade tucked behind Honeydukes. We had a nice, romantic candle-lit dinner, and I got to know James way more. He was actually a very nice, sensitive and quite emotional person under the mask of an arrogant prankster. We talked about a lot of things and soon enough, he felt like a best friend to me. After our dinner we shared a slow dance on the dance floor and then things started hotting up. James was completely decent; he didn't try anything that he would with other girls that he went out with to finger me or anything; the atmosphere was getting a lot warmer. We left hurriedly; I was longing to feel his lips against mine, for him to hold me at long last. James led me into a nearby alleyway, he put his arms around me and although I was being engulfed by pleasure, I yearned for more. I reached for his head and twined my fingers through his hair whilst lightly gripping the base of his skull. Excruciatingly slowly he brought his lips towards mine; I waited unbearably for the sweet explosion of pleasure. When suddenly, a voice interrupted us.
'Jamesie babe. What are you doing? Remember you told me to meet you here before going to little den of sin. Huh! Come on boy. Let's get it on. Hahaha!' shouted a drunken silhouette from the entrance of the alleyway. 'Ooooo! What's this, Jamesie trying to give this girl the time before coming to give it to me huh! Two timing now are you! Tut tut tut babes. Last time it was four o' five." mocked the drunk girl.
I couldn't believe James had done this. It had been perfect…. until this. I had actually believed he was genuinely enjoying our date. I was lost for words; I looked at him but he didn't deny it, he was just staring back at me. I picked up my skirts and just ran off.

"LILY! Hey Lily! Wake up! Lily!" shouted a hazy distant voice. Lily suddenly felt two sharp slaps fly across her face. Lily slowly opened her eyes and gingerly blinked as Kayt's face swam into focus.
"Lily! Are you ok? What happened?" questioned Kayt concernedly.
"Um. Where am I? What happened?" asked Lily confusedly.
"I don't know but James found you here. I was passing by and heard him calling for help. He just went to get a teacher." replied Kayt.
"Oh ok. I don't know what happened to me. I think I was just a bit tired or dehydrated or something probably. Nothing serious, so don't worry." said Lily.
"Are you sure? Because when I was waiting for James to get a teacher you started crying randomly. Well, you weren't making any sounds but tears were coming out from your eyes." said Kayt.
"Kayt. Look I'm fine alright. Just drop it ok" replied Lily.
"But-"started Kaytlin to be interrupted as Professor McGonagall came around the corner with James following her.
"Ms Evans, what happened?" asked Professor McGonagall.
"It's nothing Professor; I was just a bit tired that's all" said Lily tiredly. "I'm fine now really, I'll just go and get some sleep." With that Lily got up, dusted herself and then left for the Gryffindor Common Room leaving a stunned silence in her wake.

The week went quickly but not fast enough for Lily, she couldn't wait for her one and only cousin, Alyssa, to arrive. Soon enough Saturday arrived and so did Alyssa.
The second Alyssa walked in Kayt and Lily suffocated her with hugs. The three girls went up to the Gryffindor Common Room while filling Alyss in on their holidays and the first week of school. As they entered the common room it was in a complete uproar. People cheered their heads off and Remus (who was very good friends with Alyss) greeted her with a quick kiss on her cheek.
Sirius who would declare a party at any possible reason said "I think the situation calls for a party don't you agree. And hi by the way Alyss". Everyone screamed back their agreement and the party was set to start at 6 pm.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
The three best friends spent the rest of the day outside messing around before coming in to freshen up for the party, as they all secretly had their own people to impress.
Lily came down to the common room to find it full of people she spotted Darren Minter, a boy in her year, standing in a corner on his own and decided to go and keep him company. Darren was telling Lily about a Championship thing that was apparently going to be taking place this year when Sirius came around with drinks. Lily remembered taking a glass of the tray and taking a few sips. After that she invited Darren to join her outside the Common Room because it was getting very warm. Lily also remembered a voice that sounded somewhat like James's calling out her name but after that everything else was unclear and she could only remember in flashes.
Lily remembered finishing off her drink and then suddenly she and Darren were kissing passionately in a dark corridor. Then James was there. He was angry and…hurt. He shouted something to her about….how she had promised him another chance and …….something about if this was her way of getting revenge. Then he left.
