Chapter 5 Some Ideas
Six years had passed since the "warning," James and Lily now in sixth year. Lily had grown to be the girl every guy wanted to date and every girl wanted to be. James had become seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team; he was the hottest guy in school and ignored Dippler's warning unlike Lily.
She was walking out of the dungeons with Courtney when Sirius walks up to her.
"Hey baby," said Sirius as he tried to put his arm around Lily.
"Not even in your dreams Black," and she walked away.
"Smooth," said his best friend James Potter.
"At least she talks to me Prongs," said Sirius while smiling.
"You never told us why she doesn't talk to you," said Remus as he came out of the dungeons too.
But James just stared at Lily who was now walking away from them, Courtney turned around and turned back around to tell Lily something.
"Ehem," No respond, "Prongs hello, earth to James," said Sirius while waving his hand in front of James's face. Not even a blink.
"Wait, I have an idea," Remus cleared his throat, "Wow Lily looks hot in underwear."
"What? Where?" said James while looking around.
"I should have thought of that," said Sirius admiring Remus' thinking. James was still looking around.
"Prongs, she isn't here," said Remus. James stopped moving.
"I knew that, come on let's leave our stuff in the common room I'm hungry," said James trying to change the subject.
"Lily, Potter is still staring at you," said Courtney excitedly.
"Watch me care," said Lily not even glancing back.
"Lily you know you care," said Courtney worried about her best friend. Lily stopped and just stared at a spot on the floor a few feet away from her.
"Lily, Lily," said Courtney as she stood next to Lily. Only two tears where streaming down Lily's face.
"Your right," said Lily looking up at her best friend eyes.
"I am?" asked Courtney in surprise, Lily was the smart one.
"I do care," now even more tears running down her face.
"Come on, lets go to the common room," said Courtney as she put her arm around her and led her to the common room.
"What do I do?" asked Lily as she sat on her favorite chair next to the fire place.
"I um…" thought Courtney trying to make Lily feel better. But to make her feel worse the four Marauders walked in. James caught Lily eyes.
"I'm going to bed," said Peter as he rushed of to the boys dormitories, he had eaten a lot at dinner.
"Lily," whispered James more to himself than to anyone else.
"EARTH TO JAMES!" said Sirius for the second time that day. Everyone turned to him.
"Mind your own business," said Remus in anger which was unlike him.
"Nice one Moony," said Sirius, he was usually the loud one.
"He's gone isn't he?" asked Remus turning back to James.
"Oh yeah, come on," said Sirius and with that they went upstairs.
"Lily," said James as he neared her.
"What?" said Lily through her tears.
"I'll be going," said Courtney as she left to the girl's dormitories much to Lily's pleas.
"You ok?" asked James.
"Of Course," said Lily a little harsher than she might have meant.
"Okay," said James he was getting up.
"Wait," James turned to her, "Don't go," said Lily; she had to get this out of her chest.
"OK," said James a bit shaky.
"We have to talk," said Lily she had made up her mind.
"OK," said James a bit surprised, he had been ignored for the past five years what had made her change her mind.
"James," it was the first time he had heard her say his name since their first charm class, "please, please, please, don't follow me anymore," said Lily tears wanting to burst out.
"What?" asked James in surprise, he had thought that he had finally gone through to her.
"I know you like me, but Dippler told us to stay away and Dumbledore in forcing that, we can't see each other." She finished her sentence wanting to run away and cry. He felt his heart split in two million pieces and it wouldn't stop ripping and ripping...
"Lily I'm so sorry," started James, her expression changed to confusion, "I can't do that," he said very seriously.
"Why not," said Lily not giving up with out a fight.
"Because I like you to much!" he had always loved her since the first time he saw her but he wasn't going to tell her that.
"So what, you're just going to keep on asking me out, over and over again," asked Lily knowing the answer.
"Yes! I'm not giving up!" said James "I like you to much," and he started to walk away.
"Well I hate you Potter," and she ran to the girls dormitories.
The Next Day
"Go out with me Evans," said a voice from behind Lily.
"No Potter," said Lily knowing who it was before she even turned to see who it was.
"Come on," said James. She turned to face him.
"Like I said before No Potter," she turned and walked away with Courtney.
6 Weeks Later
"He's driving me crazy," Lily and Courtney where in the girls dormitories talking about James.
"Then go out with him," said Courtney while flipping through Witch Magazine.
"I can't to that, and you know why," said Lily dropping on her bed.
"Who cares?!" said Courtney throwing the magazine a side.
"I do!" said Lily while glaring at her friend.
"Lily you...you...you're impossible," said Courtney, who grabbed her magazine and started to flip through it again.
"I don't care!" said Lily as she got out of bed.
"Like I said a few weeks ago, YES YOU DO!" and she got into bed extremely mad at Lily.
Lily felt bad but was not about to give in to James Potter, not even how he made her feel, she was told to stay away and stay away was what she was going to do. She walked out of the girls dormitories, out of the common room and started to walk toward the great hall.
"Why won't she just say yes," asked James in the boy's dormitories.
"I don't know Prongs," said Sirius bored of the questions James had about Lily.
"Prongs just give up," said Remus who was reading his transfiguration book.
"I can't," said James dropping on his bed.
"Why not? There are a million other girls who would die to go out with you, and you know it," said Sirius who was "doing" his homework, Peter stuffing his face in the kitchens.
"You don't understand Padfoot, do you? I'm going for a walk," said James as he grabbed his invisibility cloak and his map. His friends watched him exit but didn't say anything.
He was walking through the charms classroom when he saw two dots he didn't expect to see. Severus Snape and Lily Evans together, they were in front of the great hall. He ran there and listened.
"So, how was your Christmas break?" asked Snape, after the incident last year, this was the first time they were back on speaking terms.
"Is he trying to make a move on her?" thought James.
"Boring, my sister again," said Lily trying to change the subject.
"I just stayed here," said Snape just as sad.
"Did Potter do something to you," asked Lily knowing the answer.
James smiled from under his cloak.
"Surprisingly no," said Snape as they began to walk toward the Gryffindor tower.
"Really," said Lily, James following closely behind.
"Yeah," said Snape stopping.
"If he tries anything I'll hex him," thought James as he took out his wand and pointed at Snape.
"Did he say why," asked Lily also stopping.
"Why do you care," asked Snape angrily.
"I don't know," said Lily, they began walking again in silence.
"He told me he wanted you to like him, so he was going to stop picking on me, because you didn't like that, after last year," said Snape as they neared the Gryffindor tower.
"Really," said Lily while blushing, "I'm going to play with him."
"How?" asked Snape.
"I'm going to go out with him the next time he asks me," said Lily.
"You can't do that," said Snape grabbing his pocket.
"You wouldn't dare to hex me," said Lily as Snape took out his wand and pointed it to Lily's neck, James got nearer wanting to curse Snape at that very moment.
"What are you two doing out of bed, detention Snape," said Remus as he walked toward them.
"You can't give me detention I'm with a prefect," barked Snape.
"So…" said Remus. Snape then turned, glared at Lily and walked away.
"Your duty is over," she started to walk away, "oh and James isn't in there," said Remus.
Lily just kept walking not even glancing back.
"POTTER!," said Remus when Lily was out of ear shot or he thought she was out of ear shot, James took out his invisibility cloak.
"What," said James innocently.
"You're… never mind," said Remus calming down.
"Um I'm going to go now," said James as he made his way to the tower.
"I still have my map so don't try anything," said Remus.
"Yes mom," laughed James. Two minutes later he entered the common and Lily was sitting in a chair next to the fireplace.
