Sirius Competition
I don't own HP. J. K. Rowling does.
Library (Remus POV)
"REMUS!" James yelled. He was being stupid- yelling in the library. He would get in trouble. Nothing new.
"Shhh! What?" I calmed him. I was keen on finishing my essay, but I guessed if he actually came to the library, it would be important.
"SO- I was thinking about Lily-" James burst into a story about Severus and Lily. " So I think I should give up."
"Well, obviously that's what Snape wants." It was quite obvious that Severus loved Lily. Wanted to be more then friends.
"Yeah. A friendship with Lily." James said.
"He probably wants to be more then friends." James could be so stupid at times. It was quite obvious. It was also quite obvious that he had attempted to go to Sirius with his problem then figured I would be better to talk to.
"Really?"
"Yes, now please let me finish my essay."
"So what do I do?" How the hell was I supposed to know? I had about zero girl experience and I never gave good advice about them. James must have been desperate.
"I don't know. What do you think?"
"I should give up on her. Like give her a break. You agree?"
"Yes I do." I didn't really agree, but I wanted to finish my essay as soon as possible.
"Okay. Thanks." Then James hugged me. Hugged me. James Potter Hugged Me. What? WHAT? JAMES POTTER DOESN'T HUG! Something was wrong here. Really wrong.
Great Hall (James POV)
So Severus loved Lily. Duh. That was a fact. The way he stared. I saw them talking. Severus was talking and Lily was laughing. She was pretty. Beautiful. Snape was achieving everything I wanted. I just wanted to kill him. I wanted to be him. He could talk smoothly and she would listen and he loved her. Did she love back? Please no. Please no. They were walking. Please, please, please. She was laughing. Please. Please. PLEASE. She looked him in the eye. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
"Should I hex him before he makes a move?" Sirius asked me. I had forgotten he was even there.
"No. I gave up on her. Remember?" I really did want Sirius to hex his damn pants off. Then she hugged him. HUGGED HIM.
"How about now?"
"Yes please. But leave me out of it. Don't be seen." I ran away to watch from a distance. Sirius grinned evilly. He hid- I don't even know where. I couldn't see him.
Severus was suddenly hoisted into the air, his ugly, scrawny legs showing.
"SEVERUS!" Lily gasped.
Lily turned and looked at me.
"You are sick. Sick, Potter." She glared at me with tears in her eyes. I put him down.
"Sectumsempra!" Snape yelled. Then I saw no more.
Great Hall (Severus POV)
I didn't know what the spell would do to a human. I hadn't tried it. I was just mad. Idiot, James Potter was! How could I trust him! But he looked innocent- Black. Damn. Damn. Damn. I just cut up the wrong person. I just thought it would cut him a few times- but he was sitting there. Losing blood. I had to do something. Quick.
Great Hall (Sirius POV)
"SNAPE! YOU'RE KILLING HIM! STOP IT!" I screamed. James was dying. I was crying. My walls were falling. I was angry. James was like my brother. I couldn't let it happen.
"I- didn't mean to-" Severus babbled.
"IDIOT! JUST FIX HIM! I DON'T WANT AN APOLOGY! HE IS DYING!" I was sobbing. But I heard more sobbing. Not from me. From Lily. She was leaning over his body next to me, her hand on his chest. Snape quickly said something- a counter curse of some sort and the wounds patched up. There was blood all over the hall. All over his body. I wanted this to be some kind of boggart- it could be real. It really couldn't. I needed to tell myself that. Then I saw something that would never happen- Lily kissed James.
This was a short but intense chapter. It was fun to write from a whole bunch of POVs. I hope you liked it! Please review! I want 50 reviews! Thanks for reading!
