-Chapter 15-
Why the hell would she do this to me? After all I've done for her, after all we've been through! She can't just throw us away...
"James! Please, just stop!" Lily ran after James, unaware how close he was to slipping away from her. Lily grabbed James' arm and spun him around. "Let me explain." She said slowly, pleadingly, but James just yanked his arm away from her grip.
"Haven't you ever watched muggle TV? I'm sure you have- but that's what they always say, but they fucked up and they knew it! I can't believe you would do this, you screwed up majorly and you can't fix that."
He glared at her, but Lily was just watching his eyes. Normally hazel, they were swimming with regret.
"I know you don't regret us ever getting together! I was just sitting by the lake when he sat by me. I hardly said a word, he knows I'm with you. I tried to push him away but he was just too strong!"
James shook his head, "Why should I believe you?" He asked.
Tears poured down Lily's face. "Because I love you." She said, for almost the first time ever, and she meant it with all her heart. She turned away, feeling as if she was hated by James, whose face fell when she walked away sobbing. She just barely heard him reply,
"And I love you."
But he did not run to her, so she did not turn back. She did not turn back, so he did not run to her.
(DIVIDERRRR)
The world is a huge place filled with people, and it's hard to believe that you don't have a soulmate somewhere in it. Lily cried and cried, for James was her soulmate, and she knew it. But he has slipped from her grasp, she had messed up. It felt as if her heart had been ripped in two and stomped on, it felt as if she would never be happy again, it felt as if she had been given a Dementor's Kiss. And it was just terrible for the Marauders to watch her cry and not know what was wrong, and to wonder if it had to do with her and James, for he had dissapeared. Do you think it's possible for you to have a soulmate, but for you to not be that particular person's soulmate? That thought lingered in Lily's mind, for it felt so entirely possible and true that it was not funny at all.
And for days, when not in class, Lily would sit alone and think. Just think about homework, or life, or James. And she would reminense on and on about memories. And she forgot about the band, forgot about her OWLs (wich would be taken days and days away from now), and she forgot about herself. The Marauders even lingered on the thought that Lily had been given a Dementor's Kiss, for her eyes were constantly a hollow emptyness of green, and not a word would utter from her mouth, not even a grunt, or any other form of communication. James did get his revenge, all the nasty pranks that followed Ian around we entirely funny, but for James it was more of a pay back for what Ian had caused to happen, and though everyone knew that James and Lily were no longer a couple, and girls once again threw themselves at his feet, James ignored them, his heart and soul were entirely empty, he would walk corridors mumbling to himself, drawing plans in midair, no doubt planning a prank or something of the sort. And James and Lily did eventually remember their OWLs, and both immediately rushed to the library, where we find them now, and both have not seen eachother for a week or two.
Lily hurried along the dusty shelves, her eyes quickly scanning the Transfiguration books in front of her. She walked backwards almost, and did not take her eyes of the shelves, until she ran into someone and was knocked to the floor, startled. Her books had spilled out of her hands, her parchment, ink, and quill went flying, causing all of her ink bottles to land with a crash on the hard floor and burst open, spraying ink everywhere. Lily took in a deep breath, the air smelled like spoiled ink, and turned around. Behind her sat James, he too had fallen, with his books bent and scattered around him, parchment, quill and ink on the floor, they too were smashed. He had a surprised look on his face, wich only became more surprised when he saw who he had run into.
"Oh." Lily said softly, and then, even louder, "Oh no! I'm so sorry it's all my faul-" But she was cut short just as James leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers in the first satisfying kiss they had shared in a very long time, and a zap shot through them both. They broke apart instantly, the jolt causing them to blush, but both Lily and James' eyes were glowing with renown happiness.
Lily waved her wand ("Accio!Accio!Accio!"), and quietly carried her things to a nearby table. She hastily began to study, for time was running out and the library was only open for so many hours, and you could only check out so many books at a time. Her eyes quickly scanned over the pages taking in information that was likely to be on the Transfiguration OWL.
When it comes to transfigure a teacup into a rat, you must solely concentrate on your subject. With a swish of your wand in an upward motion, and then following that upward motion in a downward motion, and also...
But her thoughts were drifting...
Does he still...It takes multiple tries for most to get the concept of this horribly difficult spell, you must move your wand in the most perfect of ways...love me?
And it was so soon that her thoughts had turned completely away from Transfiguration and were focusing solely on James and James alone, if she only knew how similiar his thoughts were to hers.
James was sitting quietly next to Lily trying to concentrate on his Denfense Against the Dark Arts book.
The five characteristics of a werewolf are the snout nose...I can't beleive I did that...and also the pointed ears...I miss her soo much...those are the easiest to remember...
He turned the page (wich focused on the three Unforgivable Curses), shook his head as if to rid his head of those drifting thoughts, and there was a loud bang as both of the students slammed their books closed and whined,
"I can't concentrate, see you later." It was not as if they were planning on seeing eachother later, but both students gathered their things and began to leave the library, their bags bulging with books with wich they were going to study.
Lily ran to Sirius, overjoyed, and wrapped him in the biggest hug ever. Sirius almost fell over in surprise,
"Lils, You're alive." It was a joke, for she had not talked in forever. Lily just shook her head and laughed, and the pair collapsed together on the couch and began to talk...
"I want you to tell James to meet me by the lake at midnight tonight, ok?" Lily smiled at Sirius, gave him a hug, and ran up the stairs.
You're in love, of course, and it's too bad that you had a fight. But you'd be willing to do anything to get it back, and Lily Evans had a supreme plan, a plan that was very very simple, but basically, would get James and her back together. She knew he never regretted them getting back together, and kissing her in the library was evidence that there was a chance for them to survive, after all. And so Lily formed this plan and was now sitting by the lake, freezing, in her pajamas. Footsteps could be heard crunching that grass, and James appeared next to her, bundled up in his cloak, and sat down.
He watched Lily shiver. And she turned to at him. And she pressed her lips to his forcefully, a smile tugging at her lips, and whispered,
"Love me?"
And James just nodded, and wrapped her in his cloak, and his arms, and kissed her again. It was almost perfect. In fact, it was,
"After all we've been through, we're finally together, I love you." James whispered, kissing her playfully on the cheek, and the pair headed back towards the castle, fingers laced, as snow started to fall, and covered the ground, and one person smiled as he watched them come back up to the castle. His friends were together at last. From hate to love, to hate again. And angriness, sadness, depression, it was all in the past, all that existed was friendship, love, joy, and just plain happiness. And the snow continued to fall, casting the grounds of Hogwarts in a cheery white glow, Lily Evans and James Potter were together at last.
Finally, took me forever to write this didn't it? I do not need a beta for this story anymore (obviously), and I'm sad to say, this story if finished, done, and I loved writing it! I want to thank all of you for reading it, and all of you for reveiwing it! And also to Konny for the some chapters she did beta, before she, like, dissapeared! Thanks gurrl! It would not be a waste of your time to review, after all, you did take the time to read it, didn't you? Love ya, Blue.
