One Twirl, One Chance
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter obviously and only own the unrecognizable characters and the plot if any
I actually got a few reviews and I decided I should expand it. It was two in the morning when I wrote the last one and I was getting over the original shock I had and needed to get it down on paper.
Originally, I wasn't going to do more than one chaper, but since EVERYONE wanted more...well...
ONWARD!
No I've always thought that on lifetime movies it is completely pathetic to go into the bathroom and start crying my green eyes out while one of my somewhat but not best friend hands me tissues, but I don't pity myself. Okay, well my heart is broken and I just might be crying inside, but I'm Lily and I don't like when people know I'm sad. I just brush it aside for later in our dorm...that is the perfect crying place. But not here, while everyone is trying to have fun. I just need to forget about it and try and have fun.
Who knows? Maybe Mr. Right is out there for me and I just haven't looked enough in my life. I continued to "boogie down" with my friends when I saw him again. Dancing like an intoxicated fool (which I don't doubt that he was!) with some stupid harlot, arms wrapped around is neck like a raggedy-anne doll... except a slutty version. Don't look, Lily. It was just a trick of the light. "Guys, I have a confession to make!" I said to all my friends who were circled around me dancing. I put my arms around their shoulders and drunkingly (though I wasn't) said, "I love you. You are the only people I love. I'd stop the world and melt with you!" and like magic, that song began playing throughout the hall. Man, I love that song.
"And now, the final song of the night." Oh thank GOD! I thought this horrible dance of death would never end! "Let's slow things down a little bit for those couples out there." Gosh, the band sucked a lot. Couples at the end? How lame! Slowly walking back to our table, my friends and I began to get ready to leave. We put our lovley "glass" slippers on and picked up our handbags. And as I looked up for another peak at James, to see if possibly he wasn't dancing, I searched the dance area.
No, there he was with his magnetic girl clinging to him like...like...like a monkey climbing up the palm tree trying to get those two sacred coconuts. Wow, at the time, everything sounds dirtier. He was whispering something in her ear. I wonder what secrets he was sharing...
"I have a pet squirrel in my pants"
"I lost my underware this morning"
"My favorite juice is orange"
No, it was probably something sappy like, "I could never live a single day without you in my life. I love you!" Whatever. When a guy says they love you, they usually don't mean it at all until the third or forth time. But, his hazel eyes through that looking glass we now call glasses (specticals, etc.). He stared at me, for a second, and our eyes met. It was a look that could either hurt or heal. I looked back at his lovely whore, and I turned tail and ran, tears streaming down my face. As many times as I told James I hated him, and as many times as he annoyed me and I turned him down...oh it was all coming out now. Every thimble full of emotion was spilling out in gushing tears. My friends were left wondering what was up.
"Lily, do you want to, maybe, talk about anything in particular?" We were back in the dorm and Christine was trying to cheer me up. Of course, they still didn't know why I ran out of there, and I wasn't going to tell them.
"No, I'd rather not tell you for now. I'll leave you to your happiness." Melodramatic Lily does not like talking about her feelings. James has no feelings.
"Lily, leaving your emotions might make you explode. No joke. My Uncle Eaton didn't tell us he was having stommach problems and then he got dirreah."
"Wow, Ella. TMI! It's true though, Lils. What if we made it a girls night in. Jesse and Alice probably aren't going to be back for a while, seeing as they're going to go drink in Hogsmede with their dates. We can eat a bit, and just talk. What you say?" Christine thought out.
"Well, I guess that could be okay." We went to the kitchens (James told us how long ago), got some baskets of lovely treats, and started our way back up to the castle. The freakiest part was when I brushed legs against something, but when I looked, it was gone. Ella said it was Mrs. Norris, but then we can't always trust Ella all the time.
We scurried away undetected by Filch, and were in the dormitory, out of breathe. Then started the girl's night.
"Okay Lil, Spill." Said Christine, all demanding like.
"You know that rhymed right?" said Ella, munching on a pretzel.
"Anyways...ok baisically I've kind of started crushing on James." Their giggles filled the room. They were giggling like little kids, and it was quite a sight to see. Hopefully, Christine didn't make a whole lot of noise and wake the enire castle as she sent the hangings crashing down and the headboard through the wall (Reparo!)
"Yeah, and I wanted this to be the night where I just so happened to bump into him and maybe, we would be together forever. But he had that girl clinging onto him, insperable-like. He just looked at me as he whispered secret love poems in her ear. Well, I want secret love poems whispered in my ear! I want everything she has! Including James and her big boobs!"
My friends looked at me for a second, then at each other, as though having some secret pshcic conversation between each other. "Lily, you must have been mistaken. When James saw you storm out he was extremely concerned." Ella said, matter-o-factly.
I must have given a pretty disgusted I-so-don't-believe-you look because then Christine saved Ella's day, "No, he really did. He ran up to us and asked us what was wrong. He seemed especially worried. Face as white as a sheet. We told him to leave you alone, just in case it was for a girl...moment. But we didn't tell him that last part!" Wow, how can I have such caring yet stupid friends.
"But, guys what am I to do!? I feel that since I've denied him all these years he has given up on me. How will I ever get with him one day and have two kids and a puppy?" Lily has been dreaming this for years...not with James though.
"Haha, Lily you can't plan other people's lives out. Didn't your mom ever tell you that? No, he hasn't given up on you. Sirius tells me so much." Because Ella could get any guy she wanted! So NOT fair!
"I'm sure if you went downstairs right now he'd be sitting there with a box of tissues waiting to see if you were okay." Christine said, using mind powers to put ideas like this into my head.
"But I'm already in my jammies! What if I make a fool of myself?"
"If he loves you like we all know it, he won't care if you were wearing nothing at all." Ella said simply. But what guy would care? Easy access right?
"Go! GO ON!" My friends said, pushing me out the room. The lock clicked, and more than likely Christine put her famous locking charms on the door.
I was making my way, slowly, down the spiraling stone staircases. Whoever thought of stone stair cases did not like left-handed people! Perhaps, if I'm lucky, he wouldn't be there after all, but snogging some girls far away. I was starting to get really nervous. What if he laughed? He better not even be there. He isn't going to be there. He can't be there. He shouldn't be there. I looked into the common room.
"Oh Bloody Hell."
I hope you really liked it. I have no idea if I'm going to go on or not, but we shall see how the response is. I probably should continue because people might come at me with pitchforks if I didn't. My writting has improved tremendously now that I am back and failing in school (but I'm not failing, don't worry!) The next chapter will be up...soon...hopefully.
