Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
A/N: Ok I know what you're thinking. WHERE THE BLOODY HELL HAVE YOU BEEN FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS? Err, ok. First don't explode yet, you still have to read the last chapter. Second, read on and you'll know what happened to me, where I have been and why I wasn't updating. I have been at school where my noggin was continually tortured and my mum said that writing is distracting me from my studies, so I got a bit depressed for a few days. Then I had to finish all my requirements and I had to deal with my truck load of homework and projects. AND we had our exams. Does anyone here want fried brain? Yes. So that is why I updated VERY VERY late. My apologies, so to make up for almost 3 weeks of no updates, I wrote a long chapter. OH MY ROWLING! This is the last chapter of my story. CHOCOLATES, KISSES AND THANKS to all of those who stuck with this story till the end and to those who reviewed, alerted and read this story. And now without further ado, the last chapter of 'JAMES POTTER is over me?'! Oh, and a Merry Christmas to you all. Obliviate hate. Accio Happiness.
Chapter 10: Not over yet.
I, Lily Marie Evans, girlfriend of Crimson Walker, am very happy. Sort of.
I, James Charlus Potter, boyfriend of a Miss Thalia Green, am very happy. Yeah, kind of.
We, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin, the handsomest blokes in Hogwarts (Sirius!) are annoyed with Lily and Prongs. We know very well that Prongs and Lily should be together. Right Moony?
Sure Pads.
Lily's POV
Look at them, so happy together.
Thalia wraps her arms around James' and they happily walked to Hogsmeade. I'm glad he's happy with her. I smile as I heard his infectious laughter as he laughed at something Thalia said. His eyes suddenly spotted me and I quickly turn away, smiling at the boy beside me.
James' POV
Look at them, so happy together.
She smiles at him as he wraps his arms around her. I feel delighted knowing that Lily is with the person she is meant to be with. Grinning broadly as she laughs at something Crimson said, I quickly turn away scared that she might see me smiling at her.
"Look at them Moony! They want each other so badly, I'm pretty sure they are having their 'Look at them, so happy together…' thingy going on in their heads!" Sirius whined as he and Remus watched them from a distance.
"You know Padfoot, we could do something about this, maybe we coul—"
Sirius shook his head frantically. "NO. No, Moony. James will totally kill us!" He said to Remus who stared calmly at Lily and James who was sneaking glances at each other. He then chuckled and shook his head fondly.
"Moony, why are you chuckling?"
Remus gestured toward Lily and James and said, "If it means getting those two dolts together so that they'll get married and have a son named Harry, then I'll be ready to suffer James wrath."
Sirius looked at him proudly. He wiped a fake tear and said, "Moony that was so weird, but still I'm proud of you."
Remus rolled his eyes. Sirius stood up and dragged Remus back to the castle. "Let's get to work wolfy!"
"But JAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEESSS!" Thalia whined as she held James back as he tried to get up from the couch that they were snuggling on. James sighed. Merlin is she whiney.
Staying calm, he told his fuming girlfriend, "Thalia, I suck at Potions so I need to study or else I'll get a T on tomorrow's quiz."
She sighed angrily and turned to glare at him. "Stay will you James, we don't have time anymore for each other." James rubbed his temples, "But we are always together Thalia! And when I say always, I do mean always! Can I just study for tomorrow?"
Merlin, can't she just let me study and stop being so melodramatic. I swear she gets more awful every day. I can't believe I thought she was the one. The girl who'll make me forget about red hair and green eyes. But apparently, she makes me wish I had Lily.
"You know what, fine! Just go and—"Thalia was cut off as somebody enter the common room. Her eyes were puffy and red and her hair was so messy. She had been crying, obviously.
"Lily? What's wrong?" James asked. Lily lifted her head up in surprise. James was looking at her worriedly and Thalia was glaring at him.
"Oh, sorry. It seems that, I have interrupted something. I'll just go…" She said making her way up to their dormitories. James turned back to Thalia and she huffed irritably, "Just go." And he left without a word, still wondering what in the world happened to Lily Evans.
Another fight. That's the fifth one today. Why can't we just get along always?
Lily Evans sat on her bed thinking about how stupid she was to believe that Crimson was the one. He turned out to be a terrible person, even more arrogant than James. He thinks he's always right and would blow up at her when she argues with him. He was just nice and loving in the beginning but after a month, she finally saw his true colours.
She smiles a bit as she thought about what James would do when she's in a situation like this. He would ask who made her cry so that he can, 'squish that idiot into a bloody pulp and make sure he'll never have kids ever!', and then he'll tell jokes and make a fool of himself until she cracks up and begin to smile.
He was always the thoughtful one. She wishes she had him. But it seems he had replaced her with the blue-eyed brunette. He's completely moved on from her now, that she is sure of. He has been actually, ever since she rejected him in his last attempt to ask her out on a date.
How could I have been so stupid? Hoping and wishing he hasn't moved on at all. She tells herself.
Wiping her tears away, she goes to the bathroom to fix herself up and get ready for bed.
While inside the bathroom, she hears the door open and close.
"Hest? Marly? Alice?" She called. When nobody answered, she finished hurriedly and made a mad dash for the door. Pointing her wand into the darkness, her eyes widened as she found something glowing on her bed. It looked like a big bowl. As she approached it she realized that it was a pensive.
She sat on her bed and wondered, "Who would send me a pensive? And why?"
She then found a note beside it. It read:
Messrs Moony and Padfoot want Lily Evans to know the truth and just go snog Prongs and, according to Remus, have a baby Harry.
Gaping at the letter, she threw it aside and stared at the pensive.
What are those idiots up to? And what's the truth?
She took a deep breath and lowered her face into the pensive and she got sucked into a swirling darkness.
She opened her eyes and stared at the dark. Then she heard Sirius' voice.
"Hey Lily! Just thought you might want to know…"
Then there was a blinding light and a scene flashed before me.
I was in the Gryffindor common room and my eyes widened as I saw a young Hestia gossiping with a young Alice in the couch. I looked around and saw a young James and a young Sirius seated near the window playing Exploding Snap. They were just hanging out and laughing, when somebody interrupted them and punched the young James in the guts.
"That's for putting frogs in my soup Potter!" The redhead shouted. Merlin's beard! I remember this memory. James had put frogs in my soup at dinner and I almost swallowed one. That jerk.
Young me then turned away and left young James clutching his stomach in pain. He sat up slowly and smiled widely at my retreating figure.
"Feisty, that girl is."
Sirius stared at him confused. "What's up with you and her?"
"I'm going to marry her someday."
"So you see, Lily. Prongs has loved since first year and promised himself that he'll marry you someday." Sirius voice echoed as I saw darkness again.
Then the scene changed and this time it showed the memory of the last time James asked me out.
"Remember this memory Lily?" Remus' voice then said.
"You thought he moved on after that? He's been trying to move on from you for years and apparently he just can't do it. It's funny really how you think a person would just give up on someone they loved ever since they laid eyes on them. He never did give up Lily … He never moved on…"
My eyes widened and I continued to watch the scene.
After I rejected him, James went to the Quidditch Pitch where Remus, Sirius and Marlene were. Remus saw the look on his face and sighed, "What happened with Lily?"
James told them everything and they just sighed. "Well," he started looking directly at his friends "I guess I could move on from her now completely, eh?"
Sirius gave him a deadpan look.
"You said that last time Prongs and after ten minutes you said you just can't do it." He said blankly. Remus and Marlene snickered. James glared at him.
"Merlin is she stubborn." Marlene commented. They boys raised their eyebrows at her.
She smirked. "I believe that Lily likes James; she is just too stubborn to admit it." She remarked, shrugging. James smiled and the other boys rolled their eyes.
Marlene seemed to be thinking for a few minutes and then she suddenly exclaimed, "Aha! Gentlemen I have a plan."
"Look at her James. She's obviously shocked right now." Marlene said to a smirking James as they went into the portrait hole, holding hands.
"Yeah, I know. This plan is so working. Nice job McKinnon." James told her. She smiled smugly.
"Yeah, I'm awesome like that."
James and Marlene entered the common room, where I saw myself banging my head on the table. Wow, I look like an idiot.
James chuckled. "Don't let her ruin her beautiful head." He whispers to Marlene.
Marlene laughed, approached me and put a pillow on the table. I looked up and saw her smirking at me.
"Don't ruin your brain Lils; I still need you for NEWTS." She said winking at me and went upstairs to the dormitories.
James then looked at me briefly then quickly went inside his dorm. 'Lily Evans, I'm never giving you up…"
"They planned it all, Lily. And Marlene saw that you got really jealous and it gave James hope. It proved that you were really just in denial." Remus voice then told me.
The scene changed again and I saw myself under a tree reading a book. It was the time when it rained and I broke my ankle. And, Crimson came to save me…
Then the skies turned grey and little rain drops fell daintily on my book which was left opened on my lap. The Marauders dashed inside still laughing. I looked at them and saw James looking at me, and then quickly turned away.
As he went inside he collided with somebody.
"Hey Walker! Evans is outside, can you go and get her?" He asked him. He stared at him in confusion and just nodded.
"Prongs, just calm down." Remus told James as he continued to pace back and forth in their dormitories. He was so worried about Lily.
"Something bad happened to her, I can sense it. Well – Candy!" He called, then a little house elf appeared in front of him.
It smiled at him happily and said, "Yes Master James is there something you need?"
Sirius and Remus smiled at her and she bowed to them in return.
"Candy, do you remember Lily?"
"Oh yes, sir. You Master James are very much in love with her." She said giggling at James flushed face. Remus and Sirius chuckled.
"Err, yes. Her. Could you send her some chicken soup? I think she's sick. Chicken soup always makes her better…"
The elf nodded. "Yes of course Master James!"
"He asked Crimson to save you Lily and he sent you the soup. Why would you think he'll just leave you there and not care with whatever happens with you?"
The scene changed again. Now I see James sitting on his bed, talking to Candy.
"Is she better now?"
Candy smiled. "She is Master James. I think she just went to the Quidditch Pitch."
"The Quidditch Pitch? But it's so cold outside! Blimey that woman is deranged." He remarked. Candy laughed and said, "Well then go save her Master…" and then she vanished.
James stood up took a jacket and grabbed his invisibility cloak.
Now I see myself sitting on the benches waiting for the sun to rise. James approached me quietly seeing that I was feeling cold. He left the jacket beside me carefully and went back into the castle hurriedly.
The scene changed again and I am seeing myself talking to Crimson in the Great Hall. He was offering me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Oh, good Godric. Doesn't he know I'm allergic to peanuts? He insists I take the sandwich!
James glares at him. Sirius nudged him, "What's the problem, Prongs?"
"Lily's allergic to peanuts. And Walker wants her to eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." He told Sirius. They watched as Crimson forced me to take the sandwich and before he could make me eat it, James then took a handful eggs and bacon then exclaimed, "FOOOOODDDD FIGHT!"
"He got detention, but he doesn't care. He knows you really well don't he. Even I never knew that you were allergic to peanuts."
And so another scene flashed before me.
This time I was in the common room sleeping on my unfinished Transfiguration essay. I was snoring quite loudly and was drooling a bit too. Then I heard some chuckling by the stairs. James stood there in his jammies looking at me amusedly.
He approached me quietly and looked at my Transfiguration essay. He shook his head fondly and took it. Then he proceeded into waking me up and telling me to go back to my room.
He went upstairs and finished my essay. When everybody woke up, he went to Remus and said, "Moony, can you give this to Lily? She didn't get to finish hers, so I did. Please don't tell her I finished it."
Remus clapped James on the back and said, "Sure, mate."
Now I can see the Marauders getting inside the Transfiguration classroom. It was almost time for classes and I could see that I am not yet there.
Apparently James did too. He nudged Sirius and said, "Padfoot, Lily's not here yet. Where is she?"
Sirius looked around and said, "I guess she overslept, she did sleep late last night didn't she?"
James nodded and said, "Yeah, she did. Oh no, she's going to be late."
Sirius groaned. "Oh she's going to hate that."
"Sirius, I have a plan…"
I see my eyes widen as I witness Sirius proclaiming his love to Professor McGonagall. He sees me and then he suddenly stops and goes back to his seat. He then whispered to James, "That was a fun distraction, I'm glad Lily got here fast. I don't think we could have distracted old Minnie there longer."
James smiled gratefully at his friend and the rummaged his back for his essay as Professor McGonagall asked us to pass it. He watched me panic as I try to look for mine and so he nudged Remus beside him. "Moony, she's hyperventilating. You ought to give to her."
Remus chuckled and handed me my essay.
"Sirius and James distracted Professor McGonagall, so that you won't be late."
Another memory flashed and I see James approaching Crimson.
"Hey Walker!"
He turned and faced the Head Boy.
"Yes Potter?"
"I can't do patrols with Lily tonight. Could you replace me?" He asked Crimson and a smile crept into the Ravenclaw's handsome face.
"Sure Potter."
James nodded stiffly and looked outside the window. It looks like it's going to rain.
"There's going to be a storm, Walker. Lily's terrified with thunder. Only one thing calms her down. Now you do know the song Twinkle, twinkle little star?"
Now I can see myself walking down the staircase meeting James for our patrols.
As I approached him, he tells me that he can't do patrols with me. I shrug it off.
"So, Potter, what do you think of Lily's new look?" Hestia said casually. I was looking at him expectantly and saw him shrugged.
"She still looks the same." He said, then leaving with the Marauders.
As they got outside Sirius inquired, "She still looks the same?"
James smiled widely. "Nothing has changed. She still looks beautiful."
It changed again and now I could see myself putting back my stuffed monkey, Carlo, back into my bag. Then I saw James quietly taking it and putting it into his bag.
After classes, he made his way hurriedly to his dorm dragging Remus with him.
"Moony! Do you have some of those needles and thread?" James asked laying the severed monkey head on his bed.
Remus stared at him. "Prongs! Why did you -? What are you -?"
"I'm fixing him."
"You're a wizard." He told him as James asked for needles and thread.
"I'm a what? - Of I course Moony, I know I'm a wizard! But I want to fix him manually. This was hand stitched by her grandmother. So I'm going to fix it, that way."
Remus stared at him blankly. "You don't know how to do it."
"I do too." James replied defensively. "I asked Professor Barbs in Muggle Studies and he taught me the basics."
"James you'll just hurt yourself with the needles."
"It's all worth it, Remy." He told Remus, then swearing as he got pricked by a needle. Remus rolled his eyes. 'He'll get all his fingers pricked.'
"And he did Lily, he got all of them pricked and I know that it must have hurt so much. But he really didn't care..."
It was 11:00 and James just told me that he'll get us some hot chocolate. He met with Crimson who was patrolling at that time and asked him if he could give me back Carlo. Crimson just shrugged and agreed. He went to the kitchens and asked for two cups of hot chocolate, and with his fingers being pricked a gazillion times, he decided to just make the drinks float.
As he got inside the portrait hole, he could see me snuggling Carlo. He smiled and gave me my hot chocolate.
"What? Too lazy to carry two cups of hot coco?" I teased. He rubbed his neck sheepishly and said, "Actually, my fingers hurt … after that incident in Potions today..."
'I hate needles.'
This memory I remember quite clearly. It was the day all of us gave each other the flowers that we have grown for Herbology.
I can see James in his room, writing something in a piece of parchment. A flower pot of white roses was placed by his bedside table. My eyes widened. Oh my – he gave me the roses?
As he finished writing Merlin knows what, he stared at the roses.
"Well, it's time for me to pull you out and give you to Lily. Who knew it was hard to grow roses the muggle way?" He stood up and pulled it out. He then went outside to find me.
"Hey Evans!"
Composing myself quickly, I turned to face James with a wide smile on my face. Holding something behind his back, I fought a smile as he slowly took out what was behind.
Taking a clear look as to what James was holding, my eyebrows furrowed as he handed me a handful of white roses.
Smiling at me, he said,"Erm, Crimson wanted me to give you these. He still got Quidditch practice right now and he asked me to hand you these."
'IDIOT! Why didn't you just tell her it was from you, you coward!'
"I just hope she finds the note and meets me there." He mumbled quietly as he approached Thalia who was now being killed by Lily with her eyes.
"Oh, I hope she comes." James said, climbing up into the Astronomy Tower.
A different scene appeared and I recognized this as my worst day ever.
He stops when he sees Crimson proclaim his love for me and the asking me to be his girlfriend. He stared at us expressionless, then turns away dejectedly.
He runs into the nearest corner and sat there his face in his hands, crying.
"I can't do anything now. She's surely gonna say yes to Walker, that lucky bloke. Gonna kill him if he hurts her…" He mumbles as he wipes his tears away. He stood up and he sees Remus and Sirius before him their arms stretched open wide and they hugged James as he sighed sadly.
"Don't worry Prongs; there are still other fishes in the sea. How about that Thalia chick? She seems nice…"
James then smiled gratefully at his friends. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, 'Goodbye Lily.'
"So see Lily. Here's the truth. All those things Crimson did, he never did those. James did. Crimson takes credit because he wants you to go out with him. And he succeeded. But Lily, James never got over you. Although, he asked Thalia out, I could still see his eyes smile when he sees you. He never stopped loving you. Trust me."
Then everything went dark and she got out of the pensive.
She sat on her bed not even realizing that she was crying.
'He had been there for me all along. He never moved on. He still loved me. But –'
She stood up and went hurriedly to the boys dormitories.
"Where is he?" She asked as she entered the dorms to see Remus and Sirius playing wizard's chess.
"Are you gonna snog him now?" Sirius asked grinning at her.
"Or gonna have baby Harry?" Remus added.
She stared at them warily and shook her head. "No and the both of you are weird."
They glared at her and then she ran and hugged them both.
"Now, now. Lily, I know our voices in the pensive were sexy. But you can't be in love with us; Prongs will probably kill us for showing those memories to you and will dig us from our graves and kill us again."
Lily laughed and kissed them both on their cheeks. "Nah, I think he's going to kiss you in gratitude."
The two scrunched their noses." Bloody hell Evans, that's unmanly. And we Marauders are manliest of all men."
She rolled her eyes and said, "I am happy and all that with all you showed me, but guys! He and Thalia are happy together now. I can't ruin their relationship!"
Sirius snorted. "Happy? Prongs despises her nowadays and they fight always. She is just really awful. I hate her too."
"You got him into that relationship, Mr 'How- about –that- Thalia- chick-? - She- seems- nice…'."
"Oh right."
"Well, I better find Crimson. I have to break up with him if I am supposed to snog James and have a baby named Harry… Merlin the both of you are weird." She told them laughing as she did so.
She did love Crimson, but it just wasn't working out. She has to break up with him.
She was just going to break up with him kindly.
But when she saw him eating that bimbo's face, she just had to hex him.
'How dare he cheat on me!' She cried as she found Crimson snogging somebody in a broom cupboard in the fourth floor. She never found out who the girl was because she ran away quickly after she fired him a well-aimed bat bogey hex.
Hestia, Marlene and Alice kept her company the whole night, comforting her and telling her that Crimson was a 'jerk and bloody idiot for hurting our best friend, and in behalf of Potter who is currently with his whiney and annoying girlfriend, we shall squish that dolt into a bloody pulp and make sure he'll never have kids ever!'.
She knows that she should not cry because he's really not worth crying for, but still she had loved him truly. And he just cheated on her. He was an idiot.
She sighed miserably. My boyfriend just cheated on me and James is with Thalia.
Great. Just great.
The next morning…
Lily sat beside the Marauders and her friends as she ate breakfast quietly. They kept on looking her worriedly as though she would commit suicide or something. She wondered where James was for nobody had seen him all night. And in the morning Remus and Sirius found his bed still empty. She was anxiously waiting for him.
Then the doors of the Great Hall opened and there entered James.
His appearance made Lily and the Marauders jump out of their seats.
He looked like he just got trampled on by raging hippogriffs. He got a black eye and a broken arm. We watched as he kept on looking around as if searching for someone. Probably Thalia.
Then green met hazel.
He then walked hurriedly towards her and everybody was watching their every move.
As he got near her, she was surprised as he James closed the gap between them and kissed her. He kissed her like his life depended on it and a smile crept into his face as he did so. Cheers and applause erupted from the students and faculty.
Finally, they say.
Lily broke apart and told James, "James what are you doing? You have a girlfriend!"
"Ah, yes. The one who cheated on me, who I caught eating Crimson Walker's face." He said glaring at Thalia who shrunk at everybody's angry gaze.
"Well why are you injured?" I asked him.
He smirked and said, "Of course," He started, "I squashed that idiot into a bloody pulp and made sure he'll never have kids ever." Remus, Sirius, Hestia, Alice and Marlene chorused with him. I rolled my eyes and glared at them.
"That was awful James. Don't hurt people just because of me." I told him. He smiled and ruffled my hair.
"Always the nice one, are you Lily? He hurt you, and I promised myself that I would never let anyone hurt you or even make you cry. He was a jerk and I just made sure he'll never hurt other girls again."
Lily smiled at him.
And then she punched his guts. Everybody gasped in shock.
"That's for putting frogs in my soup in first year Potter. And this –"
She kissed James who was clutching his stomach in pain. Everybody cheered and laughed as she did so.
"- is for never giving up on me. I love you, you idiot."
James chuckled and said, "I love you too, Red. Wait how did you know –"
"Them." Lily said pointing at Remus and Sirius who cowered at James murderous glare.
"You showed her those?"
They nodded warily.
"Now Prongs," Sirius started, "Before you kill us, I just want to you to know that – IT WAS ALL MOONY'S IDEA!"
And then Sirius ran for his dear life, leaving Remus with the murderous James.
"PADFOOOOOOOOOOT!"
