Some news and then the story you've all been waiting for:
- Join the blogring! Just A Random HP Blogring! http://www.xanga.com/groups/group.aspx?id=2186312
- Happy belated Birthday to Fred and George Weasley! (April 1st... What a coincidence)
- If anyone checked mugglenet on April Fools day they said they changed the site. I didn't find that funny at all. *pouts*
- If you've never heard of roleplaying I'm going to tell you what it is. Hopefully you get involved! Roleplaying is when you make a site or pretend to be someone you're not. Now hold on! You might be saying how corny is that, but it really helps with you're writing skills. In my next post I'll show you an old story I wrote and you can see how horrible it is. Roleplaying can benefit your school life as well as just writing in general. Harry Potter roleplaying is when you choose a character to be and you make a site being them. For instance I'm Lily on quite a few sites. So my username would be something like ME_LilyEvans_RP or LilyEvans_78. It all depends on the site. I do hope you decide to join one. I'll post some suggested sites (in order from my favorite to least favorite). And I'll tell you what characters I play.

- I'm definitely having a brain fart and I can't think of anymore. So when I do I'll be sure to let you know.
- And now for the story you've all been waiting for (This one needs to be dedicated to quite a few people. DanismyMan411 (Stacy), RonWeasley_HP7, CharlieWeasley_HP7, Everyone at HP7 who understands the broom cupboard thing, and YOU for being an awesome reader!):
Lily woke up in the hospital wing the next morning. She tired to sit up and winced. Where was she? She rubbed her eyes. standing in front of her was James. His arm was in a sling and his right eye was black. "What happened to you?" Lily asked immediately.
James smiled slightly, "I'm glad you're awake. I was really worried about you."
"James," Lily sighed, "You're avoiding the question. What happened to you?"
He took a deep breath. "Alright. You really want to know?"
Lily looked at him with concern, "Yes."
James looked down at the floor. "Well I ran off to Quidditch practice right after I left you. I got down to the pitch when I realized I forgot my broom. So I ran back to the common room and realized it was in the Dungeon. You know in the broom cupboard down there." James winked at Lily. When she didn't look amused he went on. "So I turned the corner and there you and Snape were. You were knocked out cold on the ground and he was leaning over you. That's what happened."
Lily gave him a look, "I know what happened to me, but what happened to you?"
James sat down on the end of her bed. "Promise you won't be mad at me?" He looked deep into her eyes.
Lily got up slowly and went over to him. She placed her hand on his cheek. "I promise." she leaned in and kissed him gently. "Now tell me what happened to you."
James closed his eyes, "I came around the corner and saw Snape standing over you." He sighed, "So I threw him against the wall. Please-don't-be-mad-at-me-Lily! I-wasn't-picking-on-him. He-hurt-you!"
Lily smiled, "James I'm not mad. I just want to make sure you're alright. Why are you hurt though? You haven't told me that."
James looked relieved, "Well after that he took out his wand and the bookcase in the hall came flying at me." He laughed slightly.
"James Potter! That's not funny. You could've been killed," Lily looked appalled.
"Calm down Lils. He only broke my arm."
"Only? He only broke your arm? That's more than he did to me," she looked at him like he was crazy.
He smirked, "Anyway. The bookcase clipped my arm. Then I grabbed for my wand, but it was in my school robes. I went down to the Dungeon in my Quidditch robes so I didn't have my wand. I lunged at him and got a few good punches in before he punched me in the eye. He ran after that. You know old Snivelly." James clamped his hand over his mouth. "I'm sorry Lily. I didn't mean to call him that."
She shrugged, "Serves him right. I'm not worried about it anymore. I know you've changed." Lily laid back down in her bed. She patted a space next to her. James hesitated (for once in his life). Lily smiled, "It's alright. I don't bite. I promise." James laughed and laid down next to her so they weren't touching. She laughed, "It's not like I have Dragon Pox. I don't think I've ever seen you like this."
James moved closer to her, "I just don't want to hurt you."
Lily turned over slowly and lay her head on his chest. "If anything you're making me feel better. You're not hurting me at all."
James smiled. He loved Lily so much. He couldn't imagine spending the rest of his life with anyone else. Just her. They closed their eyes and dozed off. Not caring what was coming next. Just living for the moment!
(Next story will be graduating from Hogwarts. If you haven't noticed I've been continuing all the Marauder's stories. I'm going to write them until they (James and Lily) die. Which should be within the next 6 or so stories. And then I'll write that Ron and Hermione romance story that you all voted on. I hope you liked it! I'll update again soon.) |
