Cruel Summer
That morning
James woke up to the smell of cooking.
He turned over
on the Muggle bed and opened his eyes slightly. The
light coming from behind made him wince and move suddenly.
The room swam.
He fixed his
eyes closed and tried to recall the events of last night.
Erm…there was a bar…
James groaned
and laid back on the bed, cursing his lack of memory.
Attempting to open his eyes again, he looked at the ceiling. It only moved a
little now, so he took that as a good sign. He slowly sat up, feeling the pangs
of a headache numbly shoot through his head. Getting up even more slowly, he
moved over to the mirror and made sure he didn’t look as bad as he felt.
The smell
wafted under the door again and he looked at his Wizard watch. It was about 10:30 in Muggle time, and James
staggered across the room, and walked out the door.
Walking down
the stairs – very carefully – he crossed the hall towards the kitchen, from
where he thought the smell was coming from.
‘It’s probably
Evans’ Mother,’ he thought to himself, hearing music playing from inside the
room.
James opened
the kitchen door.
Looking
inside, he saw Lily by the cooker singing along with the radio. It was some Muggle song he didn’t recognise. He watched her for a
second, her voice in perfect tune to what was playing and he laughed.
‘Fuck!’
Lily jumped
nearly onto the ceiling as she spun round to glare at him. But what she thought
would be a smirking face, was holding his head and muttering curses.
‘How’s the
hangover?’ she asked sweetly.
It was his
turn to glare at her, ‘You knew I was drunk? Why didn’t you sober me up?’
‘Because I’m
not your slave!’ she spat, ‘And I think the thing about waking me and the
entire neighbourhood at 4 o’clock in the morning
deserves some punishment, don’t you think?’
James looked
at her, ‘you’re an evil bitch.’
‘No James, I’m
a stupid bitch for even considering that you would be grown up about this
whole, ‘You living in my house’ thing!’
‘Oh and it’s
my fault now, is it?’ he glared at her.
‘Yes! Yes it
is your fault! Dumbledore wouldn’t have had to make us do this if you hadn’t
been like you are!’
‘And your so
perfect are you Lily?’
Lily didn’t
answer him. She just folded her arms and glowered in his direction.
‘You need to
mature James.’
He stared at
her, his eyes calculating, ‘You need to get laid Evans.’
With that, he
turned and walked out of the kitchen and into the lounge, leaving Lily to boil
by the cooker and hurl silent hexes in his direction.
*****************************
Throughout
that day, they had kept away from each other; much to Lily’s relief. She was
seriously considering that torturing plan that she had thought up last night.
But she very much wanted to hit him where it hurt. She hadn’t forgotten the
little promise she had made to herself when James had fell asleep, and was
definitely going to follow through with her schemes.
James was
totally oblivious of her plots against him, and after his comment about her sex
life, she discovered that he didn’t know her at all, let alone knew what was
going through her head.
He always
thought of her as bookish and a loner. Granted she was bookish, but not in the
same ways that he thought. And never was she a loner. If he had taken the time
to open his eyes and look beyond his arrogant world, he would see that she wasn’t
at all.
Lily smiled at
the thought of him knowing her.
Actually knowing her.
He never
would.
James had
stayed inside the house that day, whereas Lily had gone outside.
It was the
middle of August, and there was no way that she was going to miss the heat wave
that threatened to take over England’s usually dreary
climate.
Sitting
outside on the grass, reading a Hogwarts book, she drank in the sunshine. It
really did feel good and it evaporated all her anger, leaving just a content
and blissed-out Gryffindor in its wake.
Mmm, this must be what heaven feels like.
She placed her
book down and laid back, feeling the soft blades brush her skin.
‘What am I gonna do?’
Sirius
shrugged, ‘I dunno.’
James had sent
an owl to Sirius early that day telling him to apperate
over. He had sent the message just after he’d had the argument with Lily that
morning and was desperate to see someone that didn’t piss him off totally.
Sirius had
gladly come over, thinking that being in a Muggle
home meant unlimited access to the Television. But James wanted a bit more than
just him staring at a glass screen for hours on end. He wanted a way out.
‘I want to do
something that will ruin her, I mean really ruin her, like destroy her
completely!’
Sirius frowned
at James and sat back on the sofa. He had listened to his best friend rant on
and on about her and frankly he was getting sick of it. If he thought
differently, he would believe that James had a little thing for the Gryffindor.
But he knew that was stupid. Sirius agreed to help him because he knew James
would do it for him, no questions asked.
‘You mean like
a prank?’
James shook
his head, ‘Not just a prank. Something that will wreck all
her stupid illusions of being ‘The perfect Head Girl’.’
Sirius shifted
in his seat and glanced at his friend, seeing the definite shine to them as he
read off Lily’s torment.
‘Well what do
you have in mind?’
James paused
and grinned evilly, looking at Sirius expectantly. It took him a while until he
knew what James was looking like him like that for.
‘Me?’ Sirius
looked at James dubiously, ‘Why do I have to do it?’
‘Well, Moony
will think of the morals or some shit, and Wormtail? Yeah right.’
He sat up,
‘So…let me get this straight. You want me to seduce the girl you hate, just so
you can ruin her reputation as Head Girl?’
James paused,
thought about it, and then answered, ‘Yes.’
Sirius sighed
in exasperation, ‘How do you think I’ll be able to do that? She’s sexually
frozen!’
James laughed
at his best friend.
‘Come on man!
I know you; warm her up if she’s a bit cold. It’ll ruin her! ‘Prissy little
virgin looses it to enemies best friend.’ It’ll be great!’
Sirius
laughed, and then shook his head, ‘She won’t do it.’
‘I thought you
liked a challenge?’
James was
deliberately doing the whole ‘inverse psychology’ thing and it was working
brilliantly on his best friend’s mind. He was nudging Sirius in exactly the
right direction that he wanted, and he was falling for it fast. If James wanted
something, he would go out of his way to make sure that his hunger was sated,
and this was no different.
‘Plus,
accomplishing Evans? You’d earn like some kind of award for that. No body’s
ever done it.’
He laughed at his own joke and Sirius looked at him grinning, ‘Yeah ok. I’ll
do it.’
