A/N Sorry it took me a while to update, I've been so busy with homework and such (damn you school teachers). Sorry!! p
Thank you to everyone who reviewed!!! I love reviews!!! More!!! MORE!!!!!!!!!
"Potter!" I whispered, trying extremely hard not to scream at him.
"What?" He said innocently, smirking at me.
He'd so better wipe that smirk off his face.
Or I will.
"Shut up. We are trying to catch these people here. And we haven't succeeded yet, because you won't shut up!!"
"Alright, alright. Keep your knickers on."
I was just about to throttle him, when I heard them approaching. I know, really devious, mean, sneaky, whatever you want to call it, but we were resorting to desperate measures here. Twice had they gotten away without us figuring out who they were, so now we were hiding round a corner to find out who it was that was sneaking out of bed after hours.
My life is so much fun.
"Sssh!" I whispered, glaring up at him. We were hiding behind a tapestry, where there turned out to be room for about a rat. It was so small I was practically pushing myself up against the wall. I was trying very desperately not to touch Potter, and so far I was succeeding.
I heard them walking closer to us and by the sound of their footsteps, I could tell that they were probably male and in sixth or seventh year. Either that, or an enormously fat female first year who trod like an elephant.
One of them spoke, and my suspicions were granted correct, as we heard Severus Snape's voice. I saw Potter's eyes narrow and he shoved his hand in his pocket for his wand. We heard him again, and Potter made a move to burst out, but I held up a hand and stopped him. I didn't want to burst out at the wrong moment when they could get away. God, this was turning out to be something like an MI5 mission.
Their footsteps got closer, and now it was no joke trying to hold Potter back. I had to put both my hands on his shoulders and throw all my weight on them to hold him back. He had a murderous look in his eyes and one hand was clenched around his wand. He tried to take another step forward, but I had had just about enough. I took a step in front of him and blocked his way out.
"What is your problem?" I hissed at him, our faces just inches apart.
The murderous look that had been in his eyes a second ago faded and was replaced with a different look that I couldn't put my finger on. And it was only now that I noticed just how close we were, with my body pressed up against his.
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING!!!! LET ME MOVE, LET ME MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But my body wasn't obeying me. We stood there facing each other, me trying desperately to move backwards, but un-succeeding. My mind and body were in two different worlds.
MOVE!! LET ME MOVE!!!!! PLEASE, I'LL DO ANYTHING!!!!!!!!! MOVE!!!
Then my body obeyed me, but not in the way I had hoped it too. I moved forward instead, pressing my lips up against his. He reacted extremely quickly and wrapped one of his arms around my waist, pulling me closer. We kissed for a few more seconds, and then I remembered exactly who I was kissing …
I pulled back and stared at him in horror and shock. He was looking at me with the same expression, only I don't think there was any horror in it.
And I really don't think there was much horror in mine either.
Aw, come off it Lily!! You hate James Potter!!
I know, I know!! But he's such a good kisser …
Does that really matter Lily?? He's an arrogant prat!!
Talking to myself in third person. I am insane. Next time I'm in the Hospital Wing, remind to get myself checked over.
But I'm kind of right. James Potter is a good kisser. In fact, he's better than good. He's excellent. Fantastic. Wonderful. Magnificent. Breathtaking. Superb. Amazing. No wonder girls drool over him.
AAAARRRGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!!! I'M COMPLIMENTING POTTER!!!!!!!
I looked back at him and noticed he was still staring at me, astonished. I stared back at him with the same expression plastered across my face. He opened his mouth, but we were rudely interrupted before he could get a word out.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Head Boy and Girl. You weren't sneaking up on us were you?"
Bellatrix Black was standing with her hands on her hips and smirking a smirk almost identical to Sirius Black's, apart from the fact that Sirius Black's had no pure evil in it.
I felt Potter beside me lunge forward, but I threw all of my weight on him again. I was not getting detention because of him. No way.
"And you're out of bed after curfew because?" I said, breathing slightly heavier than normal due to the fact that I had a seventeen year old boy straining against me.
"And that concerns you because?" She replied in an imitation of me.
Bellatrix Black should never ever become an imitationist (A/N I didn't have a clue what word to use so I said this one!!). Believe me, she's crap. And that impression of me?? It sounded more like Peter Pettigrew than me. Honestly. Slytherin girls today.
However, that seemed to be it for Potter. He wrenched from my grasp and pointed his wand at Black's throat.
"Well, that's not friendly behaviour from the Head Boy is it? I'm sure Dumbledore would be so disappointed if he could see you now."
A greasy voice echoed through the room and later followed the even greasier owner of the greasy voice. Guess who?
Severus Snape.
Potter's eyes narrowed and he made a motion to move his wand from Black's throat to his. But Snape pointed his wand at me before he could get there.
Why doesn't everyone just get me involved, huh? I've done nothing!! This is so unfair.
Then I stopped thinking about how unfair this was when Snape jabbed his wand at me. All I could think now was, 'Ow that hurt' and 'Shit, I'm scared'.
And I was scared. I know Severus Snape is greasier than the King of Greasy on Planet Greasy in Greasy Universe, but that doesn't stop him being scary at times. People say he practices the Dark Arts and I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. I mean, look at who he keeps his company with.
"Move your wand, and she gets it." Snape said, smirking evilly at Potter.
"You bastard." Potter spat.
"One more word Potter. Not such the big cheese now are you? Not without all your little friends." Snape said, laughing.
Is it me or is this starting to sound like a film scene??
"Leave her alone."
For once, can someone please listen to Potter?? He's right. Leave me alone!!!
"What are you going to do? Prank me? Because this is no longer fun and games, Potter, real life is going to kick in soon. So why don't you crawl back to your pathetic friends and grow up."
"Do not insult my friends in front of me, Snivellus" Potter growled, his eyes flashing dangerously.
I realised now, just how scary Potter can be. He looked ready to kill.
Snape's eyes narrowed like Potter's and both tightened the grip on their wands. I didn't realise they hated each other this much. I was actually getting quite terrified.
And rather annoyed too.
I mean, hello?? I am here!! I've not become invisible!! And I have a wand in my hand too, except I'm not shoving it in other people's faces.
It was just as Potter and Snape had got into another argument involving me, but not actually including me, that I lost it. I pulled out my wand and shoved it at Snape.
"Look, you shouldn't be out of bed after curfew, but if you shut up and withdraw your wand, and that includes you too Potter," I said glancing at him, "then maybe I won't give you detention for two weeks."
I know, pathetic. But what else was I supposed to do?? I couldn't just stand there, and I couldn't curse him into oblivion. So I reasoned with him. And used detention as a threat. I know, scary.
Snape laughed.
"Shut up. I really don't care about detention. And get your filthy mudblood wand away from me or I will make you take it away."
Now I was pissed off.
Potter however, was too. With a roar of rage he leapt at Snape only to be stopped in his tracks by Black who pointed her wand at him and yelled a hex at him. He was thrown back against the wall, his head thudding against it.
Now, for some reason, I got even more pissed off.
And I performed my first piece of wand-less harm. You're probably thinking, wow, she performed wand-less magic!! Well, I wouldn't exactly call what I did magic …
The second Potter had hit the wall, I forgot about my wand and just threw a punch right in Snape's face. And let me tell you, feeling cartilage bone crumble under your fist is extremely satisfying. Well, in Snape's case anyway.
I think he was too shocked to do anything. He just stood there clutching his nose (which was now bleeding heavily) with an expression of shock on his face. Black was staring at me as if I had just told her I come from Mars and Potter had one hand on his head where it was bleeding, and an insane grin on his face.
And my thumb absolutely killed.
We all stood there, me clutching my thumb, Potter clutching his head, Snape clutching his nose and Black clutching … nothing, for a couple more seconds, before Black found her voice again.
"Aw, Head Girl's in for detention!!"
Then something came over me again. And before I could stop myself, my mouth opened and I was saying words I thought I only said to Potter.
"Do you want me to punch you too?"
Black laughed. She doubted me?? Ha. I'll show her.
Then I raised my fist and punched her too. More broken cartilage bone. Two punches in one night.
Nice one, Lily.
No, no, no!! It was not a nice one!!! You are sooo gonna get detention for this Lillian Marissa Evans!!!!!!!!
But I had to admit, the feel of punching Slytherins in the face was rather good. Even if it meant detention for a month.
Both Black and Snape were looking at me in horror. They looked at each other then turned around and ran as fast as they could down the corridor.
Losers.
"Wow."
The jerk is still here.
"Wow, what?" I asked him, getting kind of annoyed. "Didn't think I had it in me?"
"No, no, I knew you had it in you. Bloody hell I knew, seeing as though you've threatened to kill me one-hundred-and-forty-seven times."
"You keep track??" I said in amazement, as I walked over to him.
"No I don't. Sirius does." He said as this was a normal thing for Sirius to do.
Probably was, for Sirius.
I looked down at him. There was blood all over his hands.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I've had worse."
Somehow I believed him.
He took out his wand and uttered a spell under his breath which seemed to stop the bleeding coming out of his head. He looked down at his hands and tapped his wand on them, cleaning the blood off.
"All cleaned up." He said, and got to his feet.
"You sure you're okay?" I said, now looking up at him, seeing as he was about a head taller than me.
"Not concerned about me are you?" Potter said, smirking.
I choked. "No!!" I said, perhaps a little too defensively. "I just don't want to have to get a new Head Boy, which could be Severus Snape, because you've got brain damage!"
"Sure, Lily. Sure"
I elbowed him in the stomach.
"Now, now Evans. Violence is NOT the answer!!"
I elbowed him again, this time smirking slightly.
"C'mon, we'd better get back before you decide to punch anymore Slytherins." He said, also smirking. "Not that that's such a bad idea."
I shook my head and we walked in silence for a while. Then I remembered something.
I burst out laughing and Potter gave me an odd look. This just made me laugh harder.
"Er, Evans, are you okay?" He clearly thought I was on drugs.
"I just remembered something." I said rather breathless, then started laughing again.
"What?" He said, bewildered. "What???"
"You know when we didn't know who it was we were sneaking up on?" He nodded and I had another burst of laughing before continuing. "Well, I was thinking, they both had to be in at least sixth year, as they trod so heavy footed, and they had to also be … male!!"
I thought this was hilarious. Seriously, I did. I mean, I had mistaken Bellatrix Black for a boy. I don't think I'll ever be able to look at her again, without bursting out laughing.
Potter grinned and let out a short laugh.
"I never even knew you had a sense of humour Evans."
I elbowed him for the third time that night.
He frowned, but was still grinning down at me as we walked. He stopped suddenly and I crashed into the back of him.
"What the hell was that!?!" I said, failing to keep my voice down.
"We're at the portrait, Evans"
So we were.
I stopped beside him and looked up at him. He turned his head at me, and raised one eyebrow, questioning me.
"What happened between you and Snape?" I said, furrowing my eyebrows. "You never used to hate him like you do now. I mean, you'd play pranks on him and stuff, but never like what happened back there."
His eyes darkened. He looked away from me and gave the password to enter.
Maybe, I'd better not bring up that subject again.
We walked in and headed up to our separate dormitories. I got to the door and turned to look at him again.
"Potter?"
He turned as well, looking back at me.
"Yes?"
"Thanks for, um, you know. The whole Snape pointing his wand at me thing, and what you, er, said."
"Anytime Lily. Anytime." He turned to walk back into his room, when I stopped him.
"Oh, and Potter?"
"Yes again Lily?"
"The kiss never happened." I said in a deadly threatening voice.
He smiled.
"Whatever Lily." And then turned and walked into his room before I could get another word in edgeways.
Damn.
