I Hate Everything about You
Chapter Nineteen: Threats
"James…" she softly said her voice and intentions of talking to him trailing into nothing. His eyes landed on her briefly and with a slightly pained look they slid away from her, downcast to the floor as he exited the common room without a word.
Lily blinked slowly before swallowing back the lump in her throat.
She absentmindedly tugged on bottom of her white button down and pulled down her short black pleated skirt, finally pressing her hand against the Hogwarts crest placed conveniently over her thumping heart.
With a deep sigh she picked up her bag and made her way to her first class, potions.
Professor Slughorn was in love with James, always praising him for every single detail that everyone else seemed to miss, Lily was only angry that she had to listen to James' name over and over.
His name did funny things to her heart.
She sat in the back of the class, her eyes glazed a day dream flickered through her mind all during the lesson. She only snapped out of her stupor when a note from Remus was slid towards her.
The plan still on? –Moony
It's hopeless now -Prongs
Why? –Moony
Lets just say, things didn't work out… -Prongs
I see…I think. –Moony
Lily glanced up making sure Slughorn hadn't noticed her note passing when her eyes pulled towards the back of James' form.
The broad tapered back, shifting under the thin fabric of his white button down as he took notes and the soft hair that Lily's fingers itched to touch. The red headed woman ran a hand through her waves closing her eyes listening to the shrill ring of the bell.
The corridor was deserted as James slowly made his way back to the heads common room. Christmas decorations littered the expanse of every Hogwarts crevice and all the Christmas cheer was making him sick.
Along with the gross display of Joy around the castle, classes had been hell today; he could feel Lily's disappointment and desperation even when he was across the room. He was sure that she could see his, then again, maybe not.
Suddenly, he wasn't walking forward; he was pushed against the cold stone wall, looking into fuming blue eyes.
"Remus?!" James yelped, not used to seeing the usually calm boy angry.
"James, Lily is one of my best friends and she deserves better than someone who won't work up the balls to ask her out," Remus snarled his lip curling menacingly.
"Remus even you know her reputation!" James reasoned hastily, frightened of the feral glint in Remus' eyes.
"James, she's different about you…Bloody Hell get over your self and go kiss the crap out of that bird," Remus let James down slowly and the dark haired man slowly stumbled down the hall.
"Oh and James…" Remus called watching as James turned slowly.
"…if you hurt her, what just happened will be the least of your worries."
James gulped before continuing on shaky legs back to the common room, each step he took he got more determined, his honey eyes sparkling with new resolution.
"Lily!" The green eyed girl ran from her room quickly after hearing her name being yelled, fearing the worst.
What she saw was far worse than what she was expecting.
James Potter was standing in the middle of the room, firelight flickering across his wild expression. His dark hair stuck up more messily than usual and his golden eyes held madness that made Lily's heart pound loudly in her ears.
"Come here," He raised one eyebrow beckoning her closer, and his eyes danced wildly as she came closer cautiously.
"I've wanted to do this for so long," he whispered, and with only that heated sentence he pulled her small body to his and pressed his lips down onto hers.
Lightening shot through the Head Girls veins and her hands gripped the front of his shirt as he pulled her closer to his warm form.
His hands tightened around her waist, and they kissed passionately.
When she couldn't breath she broke away with a gasp, "Couldn't resist me, huh?" she smirked.
"Shut up Evans," with that he pushed her against the wall and smiled against her lips kissing her slowly as she pulled against the cotton shirt covering his back.
"Oh and Lily?" he whispered against her mouth, smiling as she closed her eyes breathing deeply.
"Yes?" she breathed.
"Would you like to go out sometime?"
She answered him with a kiss.
A/N: Okay so um, I couln't think of a new maurauder name for Lily so I just went with Prongs...I hope that doesn't bother anyone. Probably only a chapter or two left...I'm probably making it an even twenty chapters. :] But I'm fighting for at least 200 reviews on the story sooo work your magic.
