AN: Well, my friends, this is it. Lily and Lysander's tale comes to an end in this final chapter. The finale of this fic is finally here, and I urge you all to enjoy it. Another multi-chaptered fanfic should be in the works sometime soon, along with a few oneshots with, hopefully, if I can pull it off, some unusual pairings.
Disclaimer: I don't own this final chapter, my dears. Besides OCs. Just saying, they're all mine.
Lily raced through the corridors, hoping to find Lysander hiding somewhere, waiting to jump out at her like he did so many other times. Frustrated, she slowed to a walk right before she spotted a head of blonde hair walking down the corridor away from her.
"Ly! Lysander!" she yelled, racing after the boy.
She reached him and grabbed his shoulder to spin him around, only to come face to face with Lorcan. Disappointed, she let out a long sigh and shook her head, her red hair falling in her face. Lorcan seemed to find this quite amusing, because he smiled at her as if he had just heard a funny joke, and put a hand on her shoulder.
"He's sitting out by the lake. But next time, don't mistake us for one another. It could cause quite a bit of issues once you two start shagging, alright?" Lorcan asked, and before Lily could react, he turned and walked off.
After fighting with herself for a moment, she decided that trying to figure out the way Lorcan's thought process worked was far less important then figuring out what was wrong with her best friend, so she raced towards the lake.
She reached her destination, smiling brightly when she saw Lysander sitting with his legs crossed near the lake.
"Lysander!" she yelled, as she reached him.
"Can I help you? Are you here to cause more trouble for me?" Lysander asked, standing up to leave. Lily reached out and grabbed his hand, gripping it tightly. This seemed to stop him for a minute, even though they both knew that Lysander could easily pull his hand free, he remained still, glaring at the dirt.
"That's not fair, and you know it. We get in one argument and you run off to Alyssa Finnigan, knowing what a total bitch she's been to everyone in my family for years! You should have talked to me about what was wrong instead of trying to upset me with that-that thing!" Lily yelled, her face turning red in anger.
"Talk to you? You sent your cousins after me! One of them attacked me on your front lawn and I don't even know what it was that had you so upset! We're supposed to be best friends! We've told each other everything since we were little, what makes this so different?" Lysander yelled, pulling his hand out of Lily's grasp and turning to face her.
Lily sighed.
"It's not different, and it never should have been in the first place. I'm always telling you to trust me and then I go and try to keep secrets from you. It wasn't right and I'm sorry, Lysander. I really, honestly am! I miss you" she whispered, tears forming in your eyes.
Lysander faltered slightly.
"Well, alright. Can you tell me what's had everyone's knickers all twisted for the past few weeks?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
Lily opened her mouth to respond, then closed it again.
"Lily Luna Potter" Lysander said in a warning tone, his eyes narrowing.
"Alright, fine! But you have to promise that no matter what happens, no more fights like this one. We'll stay friends no matter what, and no more bloody Alyssa Finnigan!" Lily yelled.
Lysander put his finger on his chin, trying to look as if he was thinking it over.
"Lysander, if you don't stop acting like an arse, I won't tell you at all" Lily warned. Lysander threw his hands up in defeat and smiled. "Alright then, no more fights. No more Alyssa Finnigan. I think she's got some sort of disease, to be honest. Never got close enough to actually shagging her to figure it out" he said, waving his hand as if he was dismissing Alyssa.
Lily snorted and grinned.
Lysander raised an eyebrow again, trying to look as patient as he could.
"You bloody git, don't you see anything that's right in front of your face?" Lily asked, shaking her head. Lysander seemed offended, and Lily could tell that his pride was about to take over and make him say something extremely stupid, so she cut him off.
"I fancy you, you moron. I have for ages and you've just been completely clueless to the entire thing" Lily said, a small smile on her face.
Lysander gaped at her, his mouth opening and closing.
"Ly, would you mind forming actual words? It would be loads of help" Lily said, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
Instead of doing as he was told, Lysander leaned down and pressed his lips against Lily's, lifting her up in his arms and spinning her around.
As soon as her feet were back on the ground and the two had seperated, Lily smiled brightly at him and hugged him around the waist.
"I've fancied you for ages too, I just thought you didn't feel that way about me. I'm sorry I've been such a clueless git" Lysander whispered, kissing the top of her head, making Lily's smile grow even larger.
"That's alright. You might be a clueless git, but you're my clueless git"
AN: And it comes to a very happy, yet corny ending. Maybe a story about Roxanne/Thomas sometime in the future. Let me know what you think, even if it's not the best review in the world. I thank you.
