Fire to Ice
Thanks very much to lostintheteacup for your awesome idea and for your review! Alright, let's hop to the story!
Chapter 6
Lily was strolling around the corridors. She had not been able to find James anywhere for rounds. She had tried several different things, even ridiculous spells, to try and find him somewhere. She finally gave up after her Accio James spell that failed.
She was walking past one of the storage closets when she heard something – or someone – move in there. Lily, with all her suspicions, decided to go investigate.
When she opened the closet, well…
JameswaswrappedinatightembracewithMarthaJonesandtheywerekissingfiercelyanditgrossedLilyout.
I mean,
James was wrapped in a tight embrace with Martha Jones and they were kissing fiercely and it grossed Lily out.
James and Martha both turned to stare at her.
"Excuse me," Lily said, feeling very sick, and she quickly slammed the closet door and ran to the Gryffindor common room, not even bothering to finish rounds.
"Lily! Wake up! You won't believe it!"
Lily opened her bright green eyes and stared at Emmeline Vance and Arabella Figg.
"Lily!" Arabella shook her.
"WHAT?" Lily yelled. Why was Arabella still shaking her when she was clearly awake?
"So," Emmeline started, "you know how James and Alex broke up, like, yesterday?"
"Mm hmm." Lily had a feeling she knew what they were about to say.
"HE'S DATING MARTHA JONES!" Emmeline and Arabella cried out in unison.
"I expect so," Lily said, trying to pretend she was bored – though really, she had a sudden urge to kill Martha and she didn't know why.
"What?" Arabella asked.
"'Bella, last night when I went for rounds, James was kissing Martha in a broom shed," Lily said, trying to sound bored.
"Oh," Emmeline said. "What did they say?"
"They were snogging, Em, what could they say?" Lily said sarcastically. "I said excuse me and slammed the door in their faces."
"That sounds too nice of you," Arabella remarked, "especially since its James."
"We're on first-name basis," Lily said.
"You are?" Emmeline cried.
Lily explained the whole story.
"Oh," Arabella said. "Get dressed, Lils, we're going down for breakfast."
The whole day, whenever Lily saw James and Martha, she wanted to strangle Martha and walk next to James, laughing at whatever Martha was laughing at. Could this be….jealousy? Lily had surely never felt this way before. And Martha was a nice girl, but somehow Lily felt like she committed an unforgivable sin. Why did she feel like this?
Merlin knows.
No, seriously.
Merlin actually knows.
A lot.
About.
Well…..
Love.
And things.
Does he?
Eh, leave it.
James came for rounds that night and he and Lily were strolling around the school together.
"So, is Martha nice?" Lily asked.
"She's brilliant at snogging," James grinned.
"So you're basically just in love with her tonsils, then?" Lily said sarcastically.
"I guess so, yeah," James answered.
Lily laughed.
They kept quiet for the next time until they both said goodnight and parted ways.
Somehow, Lily felt slightly nice about talking to James. But WHY?
The answer is still…
MERLIN KNOWS!
Thanks once again to lostintheteacup for your awesome review and brilliant idea!
So, here's a question – what do y'all think about this new Martha Jones girl? I found the inspiration for her name from Bertha Jorkins. Weird, but yeah.
If you have some more ideas, lemme know!
