lol..... when you cant get um, enchant them!

PAMS!
ur an amazing writer. love the L/J ship!!

The bell signalling the end of lessons rang just as Lily was carefully taking her flask to the front of the room, which she then placed on Slughorn’s desk.

“Alright everyone, you’re free to go!” boomed Slughorn, himself swiftly exiting just as the barrage of students reached the door.

As she was walking back to her bench she noticed James Potter going through her bag.

Speeding up her pace, she reached the bench she was sharing with him and said in a dangerous voice, “What do you think you are doing?”

James jumped back as though his hand had been burned and looked guiltily at Lily.

“Sorry Lils, I was just-”

“Just what? Hmm?” demanded Lily, hands on hips. “Just going through my stuff?”

“It’s not what it looks like, honestly!” James said desperately, trying to avert a full blown fight. “I was just putting-”

“Your filthy hands in my bag?!”

“No! Lily I-”

“You know what Potter? I thought you’d changed. I really did! I can’t believe I actually enjoyed talking to you the other week! Man, I must be losing it! You’re just the same, old, arrogant JERK you always were! As soon as I can, I am going straight to Dumbledore and requesting your dismissal as Head Boy. You make me sick!”

James stood in shock as wave after wave of insults hit him. To his dismay, tears were starting to prick his eyes.

Gritting his teeth, he gave Lily a hard look and said, “For your information, Evans, I was putting your books away for you, so that I could tidy up the rest of the work-bench. I’m sorry if showing you a kindness is out of order.”

Lily looked at the work-bench and saw to her horror that all of her work had been tidied away.

Turning back to James, she saw he looked angrier than she had ever seen him.

“James, I-”

“Save it!” said James harshly, grabbing his own bag and storming out of the dungeon, leaving a shocked Lily in his wake.

Lily looked like a goldfish needing air, her mouth opening and closing in stunned disbelief.

She had accused Potter of looking through her stuff, said horrible things to him and all the time he had been helping her. Lily didn’t think she’d ever felt as bad as this in her life.

“You know Evans,” said a voice behind her, “That was really harsh.”

Lily looked round to see an unusually expressionless Sirius in front of her.

“What?” she said, jutting her chin out in an attempt to make herself feel less guilty.

“You heard me,” said Sirius quietly. “What you said to James was really out of order. He didn’t deserve that.”

Lily opened her mouth to retaliate with some more harsh words but found she couldn’t.

“How was I supposed to know he was trying to help me?” she said in a defeated voice.

“By asking him calmly what he was doing and then actually waiting to hear his response before jumping straight in with accusations!”

Lily bowed her head, ashamed at how she’d handled the situation. Taking a deep breath she looked back at Sirius and said, “I’m just so used to him…pulling tricks on me…finding new ways in which to ask me out! I wish he’d just get the message that it’s a ‘no’ and it’s always going to be a ‘no’!

“Well,” said Sirius, his voice emotionless, “I think you’ve finally got your wish. After today I reckon you’re well-shot of James. I highly doubt he’ll want to talk to you again, let alone ask you out. Want my advice, Evans? Actually, no, I don’t care what you want; I’m just going to give it to you any way. Stop treating James like something you found on the bottom of your shoe; he’s worth more than that. You act all high and mighty and as though you’re the best damn thing going, yet accuse James of being arrogant! Ok, so he was two years ago but now he’s grown up and was trying really hard to show you that! But you just can’t help yourself, can you Evans? You’ve gotta drive the knife in just a little bit more. If I’m honest, I’ve had enough of you and your ‘better than thou’ approach to James. He’s well shot of you and I can’t say I blame him.”

With that, Sirius turned on his heel and walked out of the dungeon.

Lily watched him go as tears began to slide down her face.

Was that really her? Was she really that stuck up?!

Yes, she found herself answering.

Lily gasped as ice-cold-realisation swept over her.

She'd never thought of herself as an unfair person - she’d always believed that James got what he deserved when he was given numerous detentions or was yelled at by a teacher.

That was all very well and good, she thought, but me acting like I'm superior to him all the time, even when he doesn't deserve it? Sirius was right, I am out of order.

She needed to make it up to James. She had to.

The question would be ‘how?’

Hey!

Nice job, and I love how Sirius loves Jamsie so much =D They're really good friends =D

Nice job!

MORE MORE!!! *cracks a whip*

i really really really like this story! lol.

jamesypoo is such a dork, but i love him! and can't stand to picture him crying! lol.

this is just a plan to make lily realize she loves him! DUH!

James crashed into his dormitory, the door hitting the wall so hard that it made a dent. He stormed over to his bed-side cabinet and swept the entire contents on top of it onto the floor. He grabbed the frame which contained a picture of Lily and him being congratulated on becoming Head Boy and Girl and threw it across the room where it hit a wall and smashed, showering Remus’ bed with glass.

Why did she hate him so much?! What had he done to earn so much distrust?! He’d tried so hard for her and yet it still wasn’t good enough! What did she want from him?!

His anger not yet sated, he ripped the bed-clothes off his bed and began punching the mattress as hard as he could, the afternoon’s events running through his mind like a tape on fast forward. He began punching the mattress harder and harder as Lily’s accusatory voice filled his head.

“I hate her, I hate her, I HATE HER!” he screamed, swinging round and punching a clean whole in the wall.

The pain in his hand finally shook him out of his consuming-state of anger. He began to sob as he sank down onto his, now broken, mattress, putting his head in his hands as blood trickled down the one that had punched the wall.

He heard the door creak open and someone enter.

“James? Prongsy?”

James remained where he was, not bothering to even look round at who he knew was Sirius.

“Gees mate! You’ve made a right mess in here!” said Sirius, taking in the devastation of the room.

He swore when he saw the whole in the wall by James’ bed.

“Holy crap, James! Did you do that?!”

“What do you think?” murmured James sarcastically, staring at a hole in the carpet.

Sirius marched over to James, grabbed the front of his robes, pulled him to his feet and shook him hard.

“Now you listen to me, James,” he said sternly his face inches away from James’, who was looking away from him. “No one, not even Lily-fricking-Evans should EVER make you loose control like this! She’s not worth it mate!”
James looked round at Sirius.

“But she is! Sirius I love her! I can’t not!”

Sirius let go of James’ robes and stared at him incredulously.

“You love her?” he said in a stunned voice. “Even after the way she treated you?”

James pushed past Sirius and began pacing.

“I just…” he struggled to put into words how he was feeling. “I just…she’s the one mate, I know it!”

Sirius looked at him with raised eyebrows.

“She’s a cow, Prongs!”

Sirius saw James’ eyes widen.

James rushed over to Sirius and pinned him up against the wall.

“Don’t you ever say that about Lily again! Do you understand me?!”

“Get off me you idiot!” yelled Sirius, pushing James off of him. James crashed into the bed post and smacked his head.

“Ow!”
James whipped out his wand but found Sirius was already pointing his own wand in his direction.

“I don’t know what the hell has gotten into you, James, but it’s like Evans said, you’re acting like a man-possessed!”

James glared at Sirius then looked away.

“I just…I just want her to see me! You know? The real me! The guy who’s loved her since forever. I just want her to give me a chance. But I don’t think she ever will and I can’t bear that idea!”

Sirius was alarmed to see that James was crying.

“Prongs, no! No, no, no, no! You are not crying over some dumb girl! Where’s your manliness gone, huh? Marauders don’t cry, we part-iy!”

James laughed.

“That was completely crap, Pads!”

Sirius grinned.

“Yeah but it made you smile!”

James bent down and grabbed a pillow, which he threw at Sirius.

“Hey!” yelled Sirius in a muffled voice as the pillow hit him in the face.
James smiled and wiped at his eyes.

“Thanks mate. Really. I’m sorry I shoved you against the wall. I just… needed to let
off some steam.”

“No worries mate. And you only managed to do that ‘cause I let you!”

“Shut up! I’m way stronger than you!”

“Oh yeah?!”

“Yeah!”

“Bring it on!”

Sirius grabbed James in a headlock and started going round in circles.

“Who’s the strongest now huh?”

“Get off me you idiot!”

“I’m sorry, what was that?”

“Let go, you great b-”

They were interrupted by a knock at the door.

“James?” said a voice tentatively.

Sirius let go off James, who fell with a crash to the floor.

“Crap, it’s Evans!” he said, looking alarmed.

James mirrored his expression.

“What should I do?!” he said in a panicked voice.

“I dunno - it’s up to you!”

“James? Are you in there?”

“Crap!”

“James? Please open up!”

James looking round at Sirius, eyes wide.

“Help!”

Sirius looked at him apprehensively.

“Do what you want mate, I’m outta here!”

He walked over to the door and flung it open.

A very surprised Lily stood in front of him.

“Um, hi. Is James there?”

“How should I know?” replied Sirius coldly.

“Oh, I just-”

Sirius pushed past her.

Lily spun round.

“Look, I just wanted to tell Potter that I was sorry!” she yelled after his retreating back.

“Why don’t you just tell me yourself?” said a voice right behind her.

There is a trailer for this on YouTube:

Urgh James needs to work on self control
PAMS!!!!!!
-Jezz

Omg Pams Pams Pams Pams!!!!!

Lily froze at the sound of James’ voice.
What the hell was she going to say to him?
What the hell was he going to say to her?
Taking a deep breath, she turned around to face James.
She took a step back in surprise at his close proximity and stumbled over her bag, which she’d set down in anger at Sirius’ flippancy.
James grabbed her before she ended up on the floor but as his hand touched hers, a huge shiver ran through it, causing her to pull swiftly away.
Clearing her throat, she said, “Sorry about that. Can I uh…Can I come in?”
James nodded and stood to the side to let her pass. She grabbed her bag and went in.
She could feel his eyes on her as she took in the state of his dormitory.
“You er…you decided to have an um…a clean out?” she said faintly, turning round to look at him.
“Something like that,” he replied coldly, walking past her and taking a seat on his mattress.
Lily stood apprehensively, uncertain as to what to do.
James regarded her expectantly.
“Um,” she said, staring at her feet as though they fascinated her, “I just wanted to say that I’m…I’m sorry for earlier.”
James expression did not change.
There was a pause.
But James didn’t say anything.
Lily was completely stumped. She’d assumed he’d say something after she’d apologised. She hadn’t anticipated having to do all the talking – normally it was James that did that when they were together.
After a minute of awkward silence, Lily decided that it would be a better idea for her to leave.
“Well…I should go! I’ll see you around…”
As she turned to leave, James finally spoke.
“That’s it then? That’s all I get?”
Lily looked round to see James staring at her with intense dislike on his face.
Or was it something else?
“What else am I supposed to say?!” she asked angrily. “I’ve said I’m sorry and I meant it!”
“Sorry for what, exactly?” asked James.
“Well, for…for earlier of course!”
“Which part of earlier, precisely?” said James sweetly.
James saw Lily’s nostrils flare – a sure sign that she was starting to get angry.
Lily knew James was trying to provoke her and it was damn well working!
“Oh, for crying out loud! Trust you to milk the situation for all it’s worth, Potter!”
“Perhaps,” said James unsmilingly, “But it was you who created it in the first place.”
Lily gaped at him.
“How was I supposed to know that you weren’t trying to nick my stuff or whatever?! It’s not like you haven’t done it before!”
For the first time since Lily’s arrival, James appeared to lose some of his cool.
Lily noticed a flush had started to creep up his neck.
She couldn’t resist a smirk.
“Ah ha. Not quite as innocent as we’ve been pretending, are we Potter?”
James glared at her.
“Ok, so what if I’m not?! At least I have the guts to admit it!”
“Are you saying that I don’t?!” asked Lily furiously.
“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” said James coldly, getting up off of the bed and walking over to stand in front of her. “You punish and you preach: to me, to Sirius, even to flaming Peter! And yet, you’re the one who’s guilty of the worst behaviour!”
“Wh-how is that?!” asked Lily in bewilderment.
“You hurl an insult at me at least once a day. You humiliate the Marauders on a weekly basis. You don’t ever seem to have any fun Lily and because you don’t, you try and stop everyone else from having it too!”
“I have fun!” said Lily indignantly. “I have a whole broom-shed full of fun! And I don’t try and…stop people having fun, but there’s got to be a limit!”
“Does the limit always have to be zero and harsh words aimed in my direction?” asked James quietly.
“It…I…” began Lily, but the same realisation she’d felt earlier coursed through her again.
“It doesn’t and…and it… it shouldn’t be,” said Lily, looking James straight in the eye.
James look stunned.
“Wh-what?” he stuttered, evidently taken aback by Lily’s sudden change in attitude.
Deciding to take advantage of his temporary speech impediment, Lily said, “I’m in the wrong. I didn’t realise it before and I’ve been pleading blamelessness since I arrived (which I think is actually just down to habit) but I’m not blameless and I realise that now. And I’m sorry. When you left earlier, I felt so awful! I mean, I’ve said some pretty harsh things to you in the past – I admit it – and I didn’t really think much of it (except, you know, ‘oh boo hoo, poor me, why won’t Potter leave me alone??’) and you pretty much always bounced back after a few minutes…but the look on your face when I said that stuff to you today…I’ll never forget it. I jumped to conclusions straight away, instead of asking your side of the story first and I shouldn’t have done. I was in the wrong and I’m sorry. I am; I-I really am.”
James nodded.
Heartened by this, Lily went on, “I’ve just become so accustomed to your immature pranks-”
James raised his eyebrows at this but didn’t comment.
“-and never really tried to…find any other side to you. But these past few weeks I have seen another side to you and I’ve actually liked what I’ve seen. What I’m trying to say is that…well…if-if you want to be friends – and I would really like that – then well…maybe we could be. If you want.”
James, whose heart had lifted at the words ‘maybe we could’, found himself crashing back down to earth with a very large bump.
‘Friends’. That was all that Lily wanted them to be. The disappointment that flooded through him was almost unbearable.
He so badly wanted to accept her offer – surely friends was better than nothing?
But he knew, deep down, that he and Lily could never just be friends. To be so close yet so far from her…he wouldn’t be able to stand it.
So, knowing that he’d probably be miserable for the rest of his life, James said sadly, “I can’t.”
Lily blinked.
“You can’t what?” she asked him uncertainly.
“I can’t be just you’re friend. I…I love you too much.”
He regretted the words as soon as they were out of his mouth. He wanted to take them back but the damage was already done.
Lily looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights.
She didn’t know what to do.
“I think you should go,” James said quietly, walking past her and opening the door.
Lily turned around and walked towards the door still looking stunned.
“I-” she began but James just looked away.
Pressing her lips tightly together she walked past him and through the open door.
As soon as she’d crossed the threshold, James closed the door and slid down it, tears pouring down his face.
He didn’t realise that Lily was still stood on the other side of the door and could hear every one of his sobs.
