Chapter 2: Horned Green Apples

A moan escaped him, "Lily…"

Jess turned to look up at him, "What?"

"Uh nothing Jess," said a flustered James

"Are you sure James? You look a bit pale?" not really looking concerned at all.

"Yeah," he glanced at Jess and burst out laughing at the situation they were in.

"What?!" said Jess quite aggravated by his laughter.

"It's nothing, listen lets go find everyone else?"

"Yeah okay," mumbled Jess, secretly disappointed but then again who was she to argue with the James Potter

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lily was having the best night ever. She felt his hand go lower down her back as they danced, it made her feel a bit uncomfortable but hey she felt daring! After all, she had agreed to dance with him, to a slow song at that. She gazed into Nicholas Sullivan's brown eyes. They were so similar to James'. Why was she thinking of James? She frowned as she remembered that he was probably with that slut Jessica. Lily didn't not like her but they never really got along either. It was a relationship through friends.

Lily and Jess had very different personalities. Lily was outspoken and was never scared to express her views about things. She was a perfectionist and her best subject was Charms. She worked hard to get what she wanted. Lily was also very friendly and rather popular among her peers. People felt as though they could trust her and she was good at helping people figure out their problems.

Jess was very sporty in comparison. She was also tentative at expressing emotions. Her best subject was Herbology, and was the subject that she excelled in. Although Lily thought, a smug smile crossing her face, she had beat Jess by a lot in their last Herbology exam. Jess could also get very annoying at times and didn't regard the feelings of other people. It was all about her. Due to this Jess was popular yes but she was usually involved in some sort of squabble. Jess also only had a few faithful friends who had remained at her side throughout the years.

"Lily you okay?"

"Yeah I'm great why?"

"You look a bit preoccupied that's all. I'm having an awesome time tonight hey."

"Yeah me too hey, it's been fun"

"So listen I was wondering you want to go out sometime?"

Lily considered the offer, he was a nice guy. Then why was she wishing that it weren't Nick but a well-built Quiditch player with messy brown hair who had pestered her forever. "I, well, uh… yeah maybe sometime,"

With that Nick kissed her. It was short and sweet and lacked passion. It did however get the attention of James Potter who swiftly made sure it ended right there.

"Nick sorry to interrupt, but Lily may I have this dance?"

"Yeah it's cool dude. See ya Lils"

Lily sent James one of her notorious Withering Gazes. "We were in middle of something Potter, thank you for the consideration!"

"No! You were? I didn't notice. Didn't know you were all for the public shows of affection. I could fulfill that fetish right now. All you have to do is ask ," said James in mock surprise, "anyway no need to thank me… the pleasure is all mine"

"Uh Potter! If you don't disappear this instance the pleasure of slapping you will be all mine!"

"My my, watch that temper Evans. We're supposed to be dancing."

Lily threw on last glare his way and stalked off the dance floor.

James mentally slapped himself. Why did he always have to mess things up with him and Lily? The harder he tried the more he messed up. He remembered his father's words. He wouldn't give up till he got Evans.

Remus, Kay and Sirius observed the scene from a distance.

"Those two were made for each other, everyone except them can see it," Kay said in a despondent voice.

"Yeah then they can have horned green apples together!" cried an exuberant Sirius. The other two cast a worried glance his way.

"Oh come on, Prongs is horns

Lils is Green apples

Prongs + Lils is equal to Horns + Green Apples whicc is equal to Horned Green Apples!

And people call me dumb…"

"Yeah well only dumb people come up with absurd theories like that" said an amused Remus

"And they call you clever! It makes perfect sense!"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night," Kay said giggling

"I'm not to sure that would make me sleep at night but you sure could," Sirius winked, Remus laughed and Kay blushed. "100 galleons they'll be together by graduation," wagered Sirius

"Graduation? No way! That's far too soon. Anyway it's NEWTS next year and no one, with the exception of you Sirius," Sirius beamed, "will have time to focus on anything but work. I'd give it two years till after Hogwarts being the latest."

"You two are heading for trouble. But uh… I think that by Christmas Break this year they'll be together."

"Christmas break?!" cried Kay and Sirius together

"…and you said I was rushing it!" Sirius said pointing an accusing finger in Kay's direction.

"Well as long as I'm not giving away 100 galleons it's all gooooood!"

"Haha come on, here comes Lily. Hey Evans, you looked comfortable with Sullivan," Sirius said with a devilish smile

"Oh believe me! I was! Till Potter arrived and decided to interrupt," cried an aggravated Lily. Why did he always appear at the worst times? Hell, most boys in the school were scared even to look at Lily under the pretense that Potter would hex them.

"Ah Apple Pie it's only cause he loves you. You should have seen the look he was giving Sullivan."

"I don't care if he loves me," in actual fact she did but these new feelings were foreign to her being and she felt that denial was the best road to take till she sorted out her sudden impulse to kiss James, no no Potter, senseless. Yup she'd have to eliminate that rather strong feeling.

"Ah Lily come on forget him, lets get something to drink," said Kay.

"Yeah your right, I'm not going to let him ruin the evening for me!" Lily said, look happier already. The two of them walked off.

"Sirius why are you looking so excited?"

"Moony, she said drink"

"You didn't?" Remus said looking horrified.

"Come on Moony, we have to make sure they choose the right punch bowl… the spiked one." Sirius' eyes twinkled with an impish touch.

"Sirius I refuse to be a part of this scheme! The girls are going to be furious when they find out. I for one would like to be able to have children at some stage of my life."

"Suit yourself Moony; I did see Hilary Lockhart looking your way with an evil glint. It's not as though the girls are innocent. Remember how they charmed our staircase to only let girls up. I think it's time to get even. Anyway we'll tell Smith after she's had a couple that it's spiked. God knows how much alcohol that girl can consume before she even gets tipsy."

"When you put it like that Padfoot, after you!"

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Sirius you are soo funny!" Kay said arms failing and laughing hysterically

"Uh, Kay you okay? Hey that rhymes!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!" Kay was on rolling on the floor

"Moony I know I'm funny but even to me… it wasn't that funny."

"Padfoot, look at the punch bowl," said a cynical Remus

Sirius glanced at the 3-liter punch bowl. It was empty. "Oh. Kay, did you drink all of that?" he said pointing to the punch.

"Nope," Kay giggled, "Lily helped"

All three of them for the second time that night turned to glance at Lily and Nick. Except this time instead of short and sweet it was more along the lines of wild and uncontrollable.

Lily didn't quite know what was going on except that she really didn't want Nick's hands up her top. She moaned in protest. Nick mistook it for a moan of pleasure and carried on, in his mind, 'working his magic'.

This all happened along the same time that James came back from the bathroom. Talk about timing. He walked into the hall to find the girl he-so-obviously-loved-but-still-denied kissing the boy who he now wanted to rip from limb to limb then shred and feed to the vicious dogs Sirius' mother kept.

Sirius saw the look in his best friend's eyes. "Mate don't, it's just going to cause trouble."

Lily really didn't like the feeling of Nick's hands on her. It didn't make her tingle as she imagined it would, rather it made her feel sick. But she couldn't find it in her to push it away. Her mind went back to the punch she had drunk only a while back. No it couldn't have anything to do with it, it was punch after all. Lily gasped as Nick's hands drifted dangerously low.

James, who was observing the scene with quiet distaste, shuddered when he heard Lily gasp. When he saw where Sullivan's hands were heading he couldn't take it anymore. He had two options:

1) Hurt Sullivan as previously mentioned though a doze of bastinado may be added after the recent development

2) Walk away

James considered it carefully. Option 2 seemed like the right thing to do, the noble thing. But then again Lily he decided was probably drunk to be kissing a repulsive bastard like Sullivan so therefore, she would probably thank him for his efforts and they could kiss and live happily ever after. Yeah option 2 seemed like a better idea.

James took a step forward. "Prongs don't," it was Sirius.

"I, but, she's, and his hands!" rambled James

"I know but rather be the better man and walk away."

"Walk away?! He's making out with Lily! My Lily Sirius, the one that I love!" James cried in outrage. Then realized what he had said.

Oh Lord, now he was confused! He signaled to Sirius that he was heading home and stalked off furious.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Lily was really feeling nauseous now. She heard voices arguing in the background and recognized one as being James. And for the second time that night she wished that it were James kissing her right now.

James

He wouldn't be this rough with her would he? Lily cringed as Nick continued touching her. Where was James? Why wasn't he coming to save her…Oh how she wished he were there. She heard him say something about leaving. No, don't go she thought. And with that in mind, she found the strength, somewhere deep inside her, to push Nick off of her.

Fate really didn't like her. The worst timing of the century.

Lily saw James stalking away and with that she couldn't hold it in any longer.

She, with as much dignity as one can have in a situation like the one in question, puked all over Nick, then collected herself, and calmly walked away from the scene leaving her gaping friends behind her.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
