Things Change For Better or Worse??
!I do not own Harry Potter!
Its times like these that people cherish. And one Lily Evans was doing just that.
Breaking apart from James, Lily took a step back from his hold to look up into his now confused eyes. Looking at him she knew what she needed to say would hurt him but she hoped he would understand.
"James, were friends right? (he nodded looking confused) Well maybe we should just be friends until everything blows over."
"Not that the kiss wasn't great because believe me it was (noticing the rejected look his eyes held in them) But we should take it slow and wait till everything with Anna is out of the way. And were still going to the ball together, but maybe we should just go as friends." Looking at him searching his hazel orbs for an answer
"Ya sure, we can take it slow for now and go as friends. I mean I've waited this long, I can wait a little more." He told her taking another step from her to detach him from her hold
"Oh James it's not like I don't want to be with you because I do its just that I think it's too soon, ok"
"No I get it Lily really its ok"
Knowing that what she had said hurt him, she chose to not push the issue. She looked at him and said that they should leave to the ROR room, since it was coming onto midnight. And with that said the subject was dropped for a new one to get out of the acquired atmosphere the previous talk had brought about.
Walking into the ROR room lily and James could see that Anna and her groupies were huddled in the opposite corner of the room. They were shooting dirty looks at her, and Anna's second in command Jane was whispering urgently in her ear.
"Ok, we all know why we're here so since both parties are here why don't we get this over with all ready?" Sirius said taking control of the situation
"Ok, lets get this over with I've got to get my beauty sleep" Anna sneered at Lily
"Beauty sleep? HA it's going to take more than sleep to make you Beautiful, maybe a potion but even that won't work" Lily sneered back as they started to circle each other
"Ok, let's kill the chit chat ladies and get start. On my count 1…. 2….. 3…. Duel!" Sirius sounded emitting sparks from his wand
"Flipendo" Anna bellowed
"Finite Incantatum" Lily yelled dogging her attack
"What's the matter Evans Scared of a little Flipendo?" "Incendio" Anna snared
Lily quickly dodging the attack of fire, "fires back with Locomotor Mortis" hitting her target and getting Anna's legs locked sending her down on her face. Cheers could be heard from Lily's side. Boos and Hisses from Annas'.
"Do you think this will end here?" James whispers to Remus
Remus looks at him like he has two heads, "James really do you think that either of them will stop hating each other now?" He shakes his head "ya didn't' t think so" Looking back to the duel to see Anna get her legs unlocked, and aim another attack of Flipendo at Lily this time hitting her in the shoulder. She is sent hurling back into the safety wall around the girls.
"Merlin" James whispers, fearing for Lily now that Anna has got her knocked down
"Well, Well, Well Evans you didn't avoid that this time did you" Anna sneers down at her, "Now why don't you be a good little girl and stay there while I finish you once and for all" She laughs at Lily. But Lily isn't down for the count just yet, she slowly raises her wand and looks at Anna as she too busy to notice and fires off a Petrificus Totalus hitting Anna in the chest by surprise.
By everyone's shocked expressions no one saw it coming. But as Anna's stiff body falls to the ground and Lily rises to gloat over her. The cheers were deafening from her side, as Anna's groupies try and get through the circle to rescue their queen.
"You see Anna, you need to remember to never take your eyes off your enemy" Lily sneers down at her as Anna looks hatefully at Lily from her frozen eyes.
The fight was over Lily had won she had disarmed and stopped Anna from continuing, it was over at least for now. That was until her and James came out as a public couple, and then things would get worse with the insect.
Next day
I was on such a high, if that was at all possible. Really couldn't believe that I Lily Marie Evans had won last night. Me! Wait yes I can, just look at her she's really bitchy but other than that when it comes to spells and fighting she's rubbish! I really don't know how she got into Ravenclaw.
Po..James keeps staring at me, if he doesn't stop than I'm going to go down there and jump him. Who knew when I told him we should just be friends for now I would be hurting myself most of all. Why do I have to be so stupid during those moments? Because lily you think with your head not your heart. "Oh shut up" I mumbled, "Lily you ok there?" Emily said looking at me oddly. "Ya, ya just fine why do you ask?" sounding confused. "Well doll you were talking to your self, I just wanted to make sure you were still with us." she whispered not so quietly to me. A few people looked over to where they were sitting staring at her oddly, but she shrugged it off. "Yes, Em I'm perfectly fine" "Well ok if you're sure Lil." With that said Emily turned back to her food. Lily mean while turned back to her wondering of why James was staring so openly at her.
"Piss James Piss" Sirius whispered to him
"What" he whispered back not taking his eyes off Lily
"Why are you looking at Lily like that, you look like Moony on the full moon?"
"Hey I resent that!" Remus Whispered joining the conversation "And yes James why are you looking at her ...so.. Openly?"
"I kissed her last night" He said finally taking his eyes off her to see his friends shocked faces
"You WHAT!" Sirius yelled attracting the attention of half the table including Miss Lily herself who look curiously at him while he smiled sheepishly and shrugged. Before turning back to Sirius with a withered look,
"Shut up loud mouth" He hissed.
"Wait just a minute you kissed her, when, what happen?!"
"It was before we got to the ROR for the duel and I couldn't help it. It just happened, and after that she just told me that she wanted to stay friends until the whole Anna thing blew over." Looking away from Sirius to Lily again to see her laughing with her friends.
"Merlin, that's terrible James" Remus whispered giving James an apologetic look
"But he no worries, I thought maybe if I stared at her she would get frustrated and come over and then maybe we could talk about this whole thing."
"Ha,ha,ha,ha, that's funny prongs. How about this just let her cool off and then sweep in and binge bam boom there you go." Sirius suggested
"I don't think that's going to happen, it could possibly take until the Ball for her to finally notice were meant to be together." James said looking back at Sirius before getting up to go back to the tower
"James where are you going now?!" Sirius yelled after him
James simply turned around walking backwards and shrugged before turning around and walking out the Great Hall doors.
"Hey I'll ketch up with you guys later ok?" Lily said to her friends before she hurriedly left after James
"She got it bad doesn't she?" Emily said to Maggie
"What? What she got bad?" Bonnie whispered to them
"She's in love with James" they snickered together
