A/N: Hey guys! This is a five-shot drabble fiction written for Lyric Inspired Drabble Challenge at Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges.

I have been given five sets of lines from the song 'Long Time Coming' by Oliver James and my pairing is Lily/James. The theme of the drabble is the lines given to me.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this.

Long Time Coming~Oliver James

3: But I love you too

You can love for a day

You can think you got everything

But everything is nothing

When you throw it away

Lily was pretty shocked. A whole day had passed without James asking her out and Lily had thought that was the most impossible thing that could happen. James Potter never lost a chance on asking her out! It didn't matter to him whether they were in a room full of people or alone, he always asked her…at least once a day.

Then why wasn't he now? She thought. They was walking along side each other alone returning to the Gryffindor tower from their regular patrols together as a head boy and head girl. He wasn't even talking useless things or the pranks as he usually did. He strolled happily humming to himself slightly ahead of her.

"Ouch!" Lily exclaimed as she stumbled back and fell. She had just walked into one of the hard walls.

"Whoa! You okay Lily?" he asked her helping her up.

"I'm alright!" Lily said blushing deep red due to embarrassment.

"Okay…if you say so," James shrugged and went back to his humming and strolling.

Lily stood there dumbfounded. James Potter had just walked off? He hadn't even bothered to offer to help or walk or go to the infirmary? Not that she needed anything that sort but James usually behaved that way around her…until today.

Feeling a little angry and cold she followed him. The next few days went the same, James hardly noticed her and she found herself wishing more and more that he did. She watched him in confusion every time she thought he wasn't looking which was almost always. And every time he spoke to a girl she began to feel less friendly and developed unknown hatred toward her.

Very soon she began to realize that her flippant denials at James proposals were just a joke and deep inside she had had feelings for him. She had enjoyed being his centre of attention and now without it she was miserable.

During the first Hogsmeade visit, Lily had decided to stay back at Hogwarts while her friends decided to go. She didn't want to inflict her miserable self on them. She walked up to the owlery with a letter to her parents in her arm; after sending her letter she stood there lost in her thoughts unaware that James Potter was watching her.

After few moments he walked up to her, "How come not at Hogsmeade?" he asked.

Lily looked up startled, "Oh…umm…I didn't feel like going," she mumbled very much aware that her face was heating up. Her heart beat had increased and she was feeling very nervous as the butterflies in her stomach did somersaults.

James watched her suppressing a smirk, "Hmm…still not feeling like going?" he asked closing the distance between them and staring at Lily intensely.

"Huh?" Lily mumbled incoherently.

"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade with me Lily?" James whispered.

"Yes." Lily agreed without another thought.

A/N: Well…James was pretending to ignore Lily! Works in real life too eh?

So, what did you guys think of it?
