You Can Wish Potter, You Can Wish

Chapter 4 - The First Duel

Lily's POV

James.

James Potter.

"Hey Flower, it's time to go to bed. You seemed lost in thought so I thought I would knock you out of dreamland."

"First, don't call me flower, and second, sorry for making you late to go to bed." I replied.

"It's no problem to wait for you Lilsy. "

" Lilsy? Really? " I questioned.

" Well you told me not to call you Flower."

"Alright, let's go to the Common Room."

"Do you know the way?"

"Sort of, but Sirius said he'll tell the paintings along the way to lead me." He answered.

"Okay."

We walk out if the Great Hall in a non-awkward, semi-comfortable silence, until on the third floor, the stairs move and I wasn't holding on. You can guess what happened. I jerked backwards, but before I could fall, James caught me. I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine. A few seconds of staring later, I heard a voice.

"Lily!"

I hastily get out of James' hands and turn to look at the person speaking. I recognise him as my best friend since we were nine.

"Sev!"

"Lily, why did you stay in the Hall after the Feast?"

"Oh, I was lost in thought and J-Potter waited for me to take me to Gryffindor Tower."

"Why was he hugging you?" Questioned Sev.

"He wasn't HUGGING m-"

"Yes I was" interrupted Potter. I glare at him.

"-e, he was catching me from falling down the stairs."

"Yeah, right" Sev muttered to himself.

"Don't you believe me?! And why would it matter if he was?"

"It's-its just that you've just met hi-"

"But when I only just met you, I went into a wood with you, what if you were a crazy psychopath axe-murder?"

"Like my deranged cousin, Bellatrix" said another voice, Sirius Black.

"What are you doing here, Black?" Sev snarled.

"Well what are you doing here with Lovely-Lily? Why aren't you with your slimy Slytherin friends?" Answered Sirius.

"I am talking to my best friend."

"Well I know Jamesie-boy isn't your friend and surely Lovely-Lily wouldn't be friends with a slimeball like you."

"Well as a matter of fact, I am his best friend." I said. They looked gob-smacked.

"Yeah, so piss off." Sev sneered.

"Watch your language Snivell-Guts." Sirius leered.

"Abigo!" Sev shouted, pointing his wand at Black, who got thrown back a few meters. In the second that Severus looked victorious (all my friends were glorious, champagne poring over us, tonight we are victorious. Anyone who gets it is my best friend), Potter drew his own wand, and screamed,

"Furnunculus!" Sev's face broke out in boils and he looked shocked.

"I thought it might make him less ugly, but it didn't help." Laughed Potter.

"POTTER! Stop it, leave him alone!" I shouted.

"I didn't start it! It was Snivell-Brain who cast the first spell!"

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?" I heard a screech and turned to see a fuming Professor McGonnagol, who looked like she's just had a Pepper-Up potion (I know about it do from the books I read about magic). She looks around, catches sight of Sev, waves her wand and the boils disappear.

"Now, as I've asked, could you please tell me what has happened. Miss Evans, could you say, you look most trustworthy." I tell her the story and she considers it and says,

"Is this true?" We all nod. "Well, I am VERY disappointed in you for hexing in the corridors, but as you are first years, I will only take 5 points from each house, but I am also very impressed that you could cast those spells perfectly, seeing as it's your first evening here, and you haven't had any classes yet. So I will award Mr Potter 15 points for the boils hex and Mr Snape 10, because the hex he cast could've hurt somebody. Now, please go to your dormitories and go to bed. Good Night" she walked off, sighing.

"Well, let's go Lily-Flower." Potter said, trying to pull me to the Tower.

"Don't call me Flower and I'm only coming with you because I'll get lost. Good night Snape." I said coldly and stalked off. Severus looked sad and said,

"Goodnight Lily." I walked to the Tower with Potter and Black and when they said the password, 'lion heart' to the Fat Lady who guarded the entrance to our Common Room (her name is actually Fat Lady, it says in Hogwarts: A History), I walked up the stairs into the dorm with the names 'Lily Evans, Pandora Jenkins, Mary Macdonald, Dorcas Meadowes, Marlene McKinnon, Alice Prewett'. I quietly changed into my pyjamas and when my pillow hit my head, wait no, my head hit my pillow, I fell asleep.

A/N: Hey guys and guysettes, this chapter is a bit shorter than the others, but oh well. I hope you liked it. I want to say that Pandora is Luna's mum, and I put her in Gryffindor because she experimented with spells, which was her brave trait. I just want to say that I try to make this as accurate as I can, so I use the Harry Potter Wiki to find out about people, btw. So, tell me if you liked it, and I really appreciate that you read this,
Julia 😂😂

P.S. I don't know how to dedicate chapters, but I want to dedicate it to thepotterheadhamster for being the first person to vote on my story and for commenting such a nice thing on the first chapter.
