I Hate Everything about You
Chapter sixteen: Stare
Lily ran a hand through her long auburn waves, her bright emerald eyes flicking around the dusty classroom. She spotted a lanky Ravenclaw boy staring at her from across the classroom; she widened her eyes and gave him a long slow smile, watching with amusement as he blushed crimson to the tips of his light blonde hair.
She caught James sneering at her out of the corner of her eye, but he turned back around in his seat as soon as she turned to look at him.
The head girl stared at James, wondering what it was about him that seemed to capture every molecule in her body and send them spinning and buzzing into overdrive.
Her eyes roamed his built form, the broad shoulders and slim muscled back, his messy ebony hair that begged to be touched.
Or was it his eyes, deep and soulful behind his quirky round framed glasses.
For some inexplicable reason Lily found herself putting those things aside.
It was his heart; it called to hers, a sirens song in the darkness and loneliness of her life.
Suddenly she was staring into the deep honey of James eyes; she quickly took in the perfection of his angled features before giving him a cheeky grin.
"Stop staring Evans," he said the corner of his mouth lifting slightly in amusement.
"Can't help it Potter," she winked at him, tilting her head to the side giving him a wide eyed smile.
He rolled his eyes and turned back around in his seat, his elegant hands taking diligent notes.
Reluctantly, Lily pulled her mind away from James and glanced next to her. Remus had his head in his hands rubbing his tired eyes, tonight was a full moon.
Lily put her hand on her friends arm, looking at him encouragingly before flipping her hair and turning her thoroughly divided attention to Professor Binns.
Lily sighed she watched the sun set from the heads common room window. She didn't notice James walk through and pause to stare at her pensive form.
Her skin seemed to shimmer and her hair shined golden in the setting sun.
James turned away from the stunning sight before hurrying into his room.
Grudgingly she turned away from the window and tied her long hair back. She wrapped her coat around her closely before quietly making her way out the common room door. The sun was setting quickly and shadows danced along the corridors, following the small girls' silent form.
The great front doors loomed ahead and they opened silently as Lily entered into the night.
Two figures stood at the edge of the forest and as she came closer they changed before her eyes, a shaggy black dog and a small squinty rat.
She petted the dogs head before running behind a tree and stashing her coat there, goose bumps erupted across her exposed arms and legs and the moonlight shined down on the long shiny scar on her thigh.
Without a sound her body changed into that of an elegant and soft doe, powerful and graceful.
She ran from the forest, her shredded shorts and t-shirt lay discarded on the ground.
Three animals ran towards the massive tree in the distance, a long slow howl filled the night and then all was quiet.
"What's going on with you and James?"
"Way to be blunt Hestia," Lily said obviously avoiding the question.
"I think he fancies you…" Hesita's dark eyes sparkled and danced, along with the fire that burned brightly next to them.
"Don't be cheeky, he hates me!" Lily exclaimed falling back onto the couch.
"Don't count your eggs before the chickens eat, or some muggle expression like that," Hestia smiled as Lily laughed loudly.
"It's don't count your chickens before they hatch…" she managed to sputter out between her laughter.
"Well whatever, you know what I mean," The dark haired girl snorted as Lily finally composed herself.
"Well, what about you and Sirius?" The head girl raised her eyebrows suggestively.
"I guess he's my boyfriend? I can never tell with him…" Hestia looked genuinely confused and frustrated.
"How long have you been…together?" Lily asked.
"About a month," she said cautiously.
"You are defiantly his girlfriend," the red head stated proudly.
"So what about you and James?" Hestia changed the subject again as Lily groaned into a pillow and Hestia laughed.
