It was a summer evening after the end of the torturous examinations. The lake area was buzzing with kids of all ages chatting and running and playing around. An auburn haired, emerald eyed girl was walking down by the lake. She was to meet someone, a person who she has been spending quite a long time with since he asked her out during the Hogsmeade trip before Christmas. She had said no but on her friend Mary’s insistence she went along and found out that Mary was right. He was really a nice guy.
Today she is waiting for him for almost half an hour. She was walking up and down the edge of the lake with chattering and muttering and giggling of couples and yells of friends in the background. The sun was setting and it was getting a bit too much and there was no sign of William.
“Will, don’t stop, no, stop” and there was a squeal and then a girl giggling. Lily turned quickly and saw Cheryl Blake and William Macmillan! William’s hand was over her waist where he was tickling her. His face turned blank from his mischievous smile as he noticed Lily standing there stunned at looking him and Cheryl together.
“oh hi Lils” he said hesitantly. He looked at Cheryl and then at Lily. He whispered something in Cheryl’s ear and then walked ahead before she could answer him back.
Lily saw William come near her.
“where were you?” was the only question she could ask
“I-I am sorry Lils” “no, no, don’t you ever call me with that name” she cut him across
“I have been waiting for so long for you. You probably would want to know the reason why?” she asked him her anger building up in her voice
“Let me remind you. We were to meet here because we were to spend time with each other which we certainly haven’t been doing since we are busy with our studies and exams. And after meeting up at the second last day of our exams and arranging our meeting here so that we can spend time before we head back to our houses for vacations, you stand me up like this and roam around with Cheryl!” she yelled. A few heads turned.
“And if you still have forgotten why we were to spend time with each other then let me remind you once again. We were going out for how many months? for 3 months now!” “Lily, listen I am sorry. I really am. sorry”
“No, forget it. I don’t even want to listen to your explanations Mr. William Macmillan. We are done, done for good” she said and glared at him and then stormed off from the lake. The people around the lake area just stood stock still to see their beloved prefect Lily Evans storm away…
A grease ball, a geek, a sycophant is what he was been tagged all along his six years if education but there was one title which no one except him could confer upon himself, the title of being in love with Lily Evans.
But he made a mistake which had caused his love of life to go further away from him, a mistake that had given James Potter to prove himself right in front of Lily about Snevilly and a mistake that had given a way for gits like William Macmillan to break Lily’s heart. Snape sighed as he saw Lily storm off from the ground but internally he was jubilant. From the day he had lost his Lily completely for calling her mudblood he had sworn to himself that he would never come in her way again but he had also promised that he wouldn’t let anyone get together with her.
‘if Lily cant be mine, she wont be for anyone else’ is what he thought and now today he seemed to be very happy that she had ended her relation with William. But what pestered him the most is Lily’s break up with William will get James’ hopes high again and James was the last person who Snape would want to see Lily with…
Lily stormed into the Gryffindor Common Room and almost bumped into
“oye! flower, slow down” said a jovial voice, the same voice that had always been ready to give advices to his friend on how to ask her out at every chance his friend got.
She didn’t look up and just walked past him and sat down heavily on the couch
“Lily? You alright?” asked a much calmer and a matured voice and a small smile crept her face. Lily looked up at Remus Lupin and then just nodded.
“then why so upset Flower?” asked Sirius who was completely opposite to what his name would suggest
“nothing, just saw William with Cheryl” she said and sighed.
“what!” exclaimed another voice. It was her room mate Mary
“William is with Cheryl? So it is confirmed?” she asked and Lily narrowed her eyes
“so you mean that you knew all along but you didn’t tell me because you were waiting for a confirmation?” demanded Lily now shocked by Mary’s words. Remus and Sirius looked from Mary to Lily and back to Mary
Mary felt all eyes on her and she stuttered as she spoke
“I-I well there were rumors going around that they both are seeing each other be-behind your back” she said softly
“why didn’t you tell me Mary?” “I- I thought you would have known” she said
“I did know but I just treated it as a rumor,” she said and then Sirius budged in
“yeah and anyways you had much more important work to do Flower, like putting us in detention and avoiding Jamesies proposals during your study hours and of course studying to get all Os in your exams, so where do you have time to chat to that git Macmillan?”
Lily chuckled
“I guess I have to agree with you Sirius for the first time” she said and then tried to shake things away from her head. She was feeling much better now. She wasn’t even feeling all that miserable which she was feeling sometime back at the lake when everybody was staring at her.
Lily sighed and then shook her head
“what happened?” asked Mary
“nothing, I am just that…well…you know I literally shouted at him in front of everybody and it was like entire school was looking at me. Now I will have to face all these odd questions” she said shaking her head
“oh that don’t worry about it” said Sirius.
“exactly, it will die down soon. Don’t worry about them” Remus added and Lily nodded and looked around and then thought
‘where is that git of your friend? He is always around to comment’ she thought
Sirius smirked as he saw Lily looking around here and there and then he spoke to Remus
“Hey Moony, where is Prongsies? I guess Flower is missing him” Lily snapped her head in Sirius’ direction so fast that her neck ached, but then a small blush crept across her cheek.
“Courage” and the portrait door opened. The prefect barely heard the opening and closing of the portrait door.
She heard footsteps but she was far busy in reading her book, her hair falling over her face which she impatiently swept it away and then her emerald green eyes met that of the deep brown ones
“oh hey James” said Lily
“he-hey” he stuttered as he was far too much in trance watching Lily continue reading her book.
Lily blushed. There was silence and then she cleared her throat and then spoke in her usual business like way which she always used on James
“what brought you here James?” she asked
“oh, yeah well Alice gave me this” he said and brought out a novel of sorts out from his bag. She looked at him and then at the book which he removed from his bag. Her eyes lit up and she was standing the next moment
“thank you so much, James” she said and hugged as she took the book
“I thought I lost it. It is my favorite book, it’s the best novel I had read so far and I missed it so much. I was getting worried about losing it” she said looking at the novel
“oh I completely forgot that I had lent it to Alice” she went on…
“Lils, slow” he said with a small smile which looked absolutely gorgeous on him. She internally sighed and then blushed and then immediately went and sat back so as to cover her cheeks which could have been easily as red as her hair.
James who was standing near her felt her hair on his face as she turned away from him. He looked at her worriedly.
‘why did she move away?’ he thought and then he just sat down and saw her go back to reading her another book again.
“well I got hear about Cheryl and William”
Lily looked up at James and she saw his intense never seen like that before eyes boring into hers. She managed to nod her head. He then shook his head
“git, he doesn’t know what he has missed” he murmured
Lily raised here eyebrow
“sorry?” “yeah, exactly. He doesn’t know what he did leaving you like that” James continued seriously all the smirking and fun gone from his face
“Anyways you should be with much better person then that pompous git” James said and Lily giggled
James smiled
“so what do you propose?” she said her eyebrow raised again
James looked at her his eyes glinting with mischief again
“you know what I mean?” “oh yeah do I?” she asked playing along his lines and then there was a chuckle somewhere they looked here and there and James knew instantly that it had to be Sirius,
always the spoiler of the moment... James looked in Sirius’ direction who was in his cloak
‘I’ll get back to you later’ he muttered to himself and Lily looked at him
“did you say anything?” she asked
“no nothing,” James denied and then continued
“so what I was saying is that you should be with much better person” he said and Lily shook her head
“don’t worry James. I think I know who I should be with” she said as she was stuffing her bag with her books. She looked at him
“I need some time” she said and got up and ruffled James’ hair and smiled a brilliant smile and then shouldered her bag and then walked off
“good night James” she said as she walked off and James sat there where he was, turned in his seat to see Lily leave the common room and there was a faint chuckling from thin air and a certain guy with a prefect badge and shabby robes stepped out of the shadows with a smile on his face. James looked at his best friends and then smiled and shook his head.
Those idiots, heard everything…James looked back at the space where Lily was there a few seconds ago…
i will be waiting for your answer Lils he thought...
