Two Worlds; A Story About Lily Evans and James Potter
Chapter Three
In the middle of Potions, James and Sirius were discussing their plans to prank Evans. I mean, did you really expect them to listen to Professor Slughorn go on about this and that. Yet, amazingly, they still got pretty good grades.
"Really, James, just a picture of her running won't be that big of a deal." Sirius whispered his voice expertly silent.
"Yes, but I've got some other ideas on what to do." James said, grinning enthusiastically.
"Thank God, Prongs. You haven't lost it! I was afraid that you might have run out of ideas." Sirius said.
"Well, I've found this awesome spell we could do. It shows everything that a person doesn't want known." James said.
"What the bloody hell are you talking about?" Sirius asked, eyebrows raised amusedly.
"All her achievements that she wouldn't want to show the school will be revealed." James said with a roll of the eyes.
"Oh." Sirius said.
Just then Professor Slughorn turned around and deciding that since James and Sirius were the only one who hadn't answered a single question, he immediately went after them.
"James Potter, could you tell me exactly what Felix Felicis is?" he asked, looking at them expectantly.
"Umm…Felix Felicis. Felix Felicis is…..a lucky potion?" James said, trying to recount some of what the Professor had said during the lesson.
"Not quite. Lily, dear, would you like to explain for us?" Slughorn asked.
"Yes, professor. Felix Felicis is liquid luck and will give who ever drinks it luck for a period of time, depending on how much the drinker consumes." Lily so skilfully said, a proud smile on her face.
"Very good, Miss Evans. I am quite impressed by you, being a muggle born."
"Thank you, professor."
Beside her, Vivian whispered, "Flirt."
"Vivian!" Lily said, "You know perfectly well that I'm not that slutty."
"Are you admitting that you're slutty, then?" Katie asked.
"God, no! You guys are so gross!" Lily said, "Lunette back me up!"
"No can do, Lily." She said, smirking.
In The Great Hall
James was practising some wand movement and incantation. In a few minutes (or when he was ready), he would perform the spell. Everyone was in for a big surprise. He noticed that Lily was looking suspiciously his way. Putting his most seductive smile, he flashed it at her, but instead, a girl thought he was doing it at her and started batting her eyelashes.
Disturbed, James looked away. Not what he was hoping for. Beside him, Sirius was looking around. They wanted to make sure that everyone was there. When they were sure nobody was looking, they took out the Marauders Map. To make sure that every student was in the hall. They saw Severus Snape in the bathroom.
"We can leave him." James said, scowling.
"If you say so, mate." Sirius said. "Ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." James replied.
"Rivelare." They both whispered.
Almost immediately a huge screen appeared in front of the great wall. The song Runaway by Avril Lavigne started playing.
They saw Lily running in the Quidditch pitch.
Got up on the wrong side of life today, yeah
Crashed the car and I'm gonna be really late
"Mum, we're gonna be late!" Lily said.
"Honey, we're going to get there. I know this is your big day, which is why I'm hurrying as fast as I can!" Elizabeth Evans said.
The car went faster and faster.
My phone doesn't work cause it's out of range
Looks like it's just one of those kind of days
Lily was knocked down to the ground while she was playing soccer. The ball was with the other team.
You can't kick me down I'm already on the ground.
"Go, tigers!"
They heard a scream, and at the top of the pyramid, Lily fell down. Luckily, a certain cute boy caught her just in time. He was Luke, captain of the football team and the mayor's son. Lily smiled sweetly at him, forgetting about the rest of the cheerleaders.
"Thanks." She said, smiling up at him.
No, you can't 'cause you couldn't catch me anyhow.
Out in the rain, Lily placed a kiss on Luke's lips. Their, clothes were wet, and so was their hair.
"Lily, Luke! Guys, you have to get in here! The party is missing you!" someone yelled, and from afar, they could hear music booming from the club.
"I love you so much." Luke said, placing another kiss on Lily's lips.
"I love you, too baby. I love you, too." Lily said, closing her eyes.
Blue skies, but the sun isn't coming out, no.
Today, it's like I'm under a heavy cloud.
James looked horrified, and so did Lily.
Lily was twirling around. Her team came running to her. She had just scored a goal.
And I feel so alive
I can't help myself, don't you realize
They were jumping up and down, shaking their head to the music. Lily spotted Luke, looking lonely by the bar. She made her way towards him.
I just wanna scream and lose control,
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah
The cheerleaders were high fiving Lily after Luke left.
"You scored big, Lily. The mayor's son and the captain of the football team." One of her fellow cheerleaders said.
I just wanna fall and lose myself
Laughing so hard, it hurts like hell
Forget about everything and runaway, yeah….
Most of the male population was now wolf whistling. Embarassed, Lily stormed out of the Great Hall….after giving James a slap.
James, however, was horrified at what he saw. No wonder, she wasn't with him. She loved someone else… or at least, was with some one else.
"I need to go." James said, running out into the hallway.
IN THE HEAD'S DORM
James had caught up with Lily, but she had slammed the portrait in his face.
"Hogwarts." He said impatiently.
The portrait swung open, allowing him entrance. He saw Lily, sitting on the couch. He couldn't tell whether she was crying or not, though he thought he heard quiet sobs.
At the sound of his footsteps, Lily stood up immediately.
"What do you want with me, Potter? Are you going to laugh in my face, or something?" Lily asked.
"No."
"Well go away. Now you and your friends have something to laugh about. Just leave me alone, okay." Lily said.
She walked past him and went into her bedroom, slamming her door, too. James just stood there, staring at the fire. How could he have messed up so badly?
