JILY "Alright Evans???"

chapter 1

Lily

Ridiculous !

I run along the grounds and reach the front doors
I turn back and see the crowd still staring where the Marauders were torturing Sev.

I reach the stairs and run towards my dorm hoping none of my friends are present there

" Griffin" I shout the password to the fat lady catching my breath as the door swings forward and I run up to my dorm.

Luckily no one's present there and I plop onto my bed face scrunched up into the pillow.

There was a time when Sev would face any kind of facade for me and now when my mind reels back to the moment he called me a mudblood, I feel a sharp pain shooting down my heart.

He's changed.

Sev has changed.

My Severus has changed.

And with the whole though train running non stop in my head, I don't realize when I shift into a deep slumber.

I hear whispers and I know that the girls have returned to the dormitory, but being too tired,  I decide against waking up and again drift off into sleep.

*******

I jerk open my eyes gasping for air as I wake up from a nightmare. I reach for the pitcher and pour myself a glass of water and gulp it down in an instant.

I look around and realize that it's still two in the morning and the girls are all still asleep.

I get up from the bed and walk towards the door still in my school robes and slowly open as to not make a creaking sound and wake the girls up.

As I slowly descend into the common room I see a shadow cast by the fire and I instantly recognise the figure by his messy hair. James  was perched in the chair close to the window and was so immersed in something that he fails to notice me coming down the stairs

I look over at him, his brown hair messy as always,  glasses sliding down his nose,  his hazel eyes shining, one hand holding a pencil (why was he holding a pencil??),  nose scrunched up and he seemed to be in deep thought.

"Uh-huh" I clear my throat to which he jumps up In the chair and shuts the book real fast and hides it behind him. His face guilty like I found him doing something wrong.

"Hey Potter" I speak in a monotone not giving away the curiosity in my voice as to what he's been doing in the common room at 2o'clock.

"Evansss!!..what a surprise" he sings my name and shifts uncomfortably in his chair so as to hide the book from my view.

"What are you doing down here Potter ?" I ask staring at him

"oh so now I have to answer to you even for sitting in the common room??? " he looks at me with a raised brow and an arrogant smirk playing on his lips.

"Never mind" I sigh at him and take a seat while placing a kettle on the fire.

The water begins to boil and I can still sense James staring at me but I make no effort to notice him. But after some time my patience ran out and I turn to look at him

"what!", I try to manage a irritated tone and stare at his unblinking hazel eyes.

He stares back a second and moves over to my side magicking a set of tea cups and placing his book he's been hiding all this time on the coffee table.

I notice his scarlet and gold cups floating onto the table and landing smoothly while with a flick of his wand he floats the kettle pouring us both a cup of tea.

I look over his graceful actions as he hands me over my tea and I begrudgingly take it from him muttering a thanks.

"you're welcome" he says to my astonishment.

The arrogant toerag of a guy, James Bleeding Potter said 'you're welcome'!!!!

I start sipping my tea silently as I notice the spiral binded exercise book and start reaching out for it.

He was also sipping his tea when he sees me trying to see the book and he drops his tea cup, jumps out of his chair, squats my arm just before I reach, and snatches it off the table.

"what the hell Potter !!", I glare at him for hitting me on my arm and suspiciously view the book in hand.

"It's personal Evans" he states and turns back
Hugging the book and jogging up to his dormitory and I sit there looking at his back.
