The Longing((until the last Rose dies))
The story of Lily Evan's has been told many times and all of them have the same theme. The same plot line over and over again. Why can't they just deal with the fact that maybe for a while Lily and James were friends, that Sirius wasn't a complete tease and James might have not 'loved Lily' but had a measly crush on her? Why do these thoughts never cross anyone's minds? Are there any real hints in the books to show my reasoning unreasonable? I don't think so. So here is my version, and what is most probably the truth.
ChapterThree.FirstYearReadingLeadsToSmooching
What did it matter if Evalynn Avis had no clue what the difference was between levitating a couch and levitating a common rat? They both involved making something go up and down, right? But as her midget teacher, Proffesor would point out 'there is a huge difference between levitating a living thing frm an inatiment object'. If you say so proff. Honestly, how many chances were you going to get to levitate a rat? Why would you want to levitate a rat anyway? Of course, these were all excuses to make up for the fact should couldn't do any of this stuff! Well she could of course, she's an almighty, powerful witch with powers anyone's wildest dreams!
Sure in her dreams. Eva wasn't known for being the brightest student in the class. No that was Remus Lupin and Lily Evans. Eva was known for copying off them. Yes she had become a legend in her first year. The girl who couldn't do her own homework! TYes of ocurse, most peopel didn't do there homework but really, they did some. She never did any. She wanted to pass. The only subject she was good in was Care of Magical Creatures, but that was because it was easy! Its animal, it eats food and it sleeps in wherever. It wasn't her fault, though, that all she could do was figure out whether a bird had three talons or four. Her family weren't the best wizarding family. He rmother was a squib and her father was a muggleborn. She had thought it wouldn't make any difference what her background was, but she had been proved wrong. Her father had nothing to do with her, but havign a squib made her chances of become a powerful witch very slim.
Thank god she had her sence of humour. Lily Evan, her bestestest friend in the world besides Chloe Saracrost, had always suggested being a muggle comed-something. Eva couldn't pronounce it, but she knew it had the word 'comedy' in it, so it probably had ot do with something funny. Lily lived in an all muggle family so Eva pitied her. No magic at all for two months, it must bee horrible. Lily kept telling her she was being ignorant and stubborn and maybe it was ture...Maybe...
"How the hell do you understand this bloody bird crap?" Eva finally exploded. She couldn't figure out how to change her tabby cat, Miskit, into a cauldron. Lily, who was sitting right next to her, had figured out how to do it perfectly within the first five minutes, as had Remus who were sitting on Lily's other side. McGonnagall raised an eyebrow at her outgoing student, but had learned after five months just to ignore her. There as no punishment in the worl to keep her sharp tongue quiet. EVen Eva realized her teachers had given up caring about what she said, she still was emberassed.
"You flick a wand and mutter words, Avis. Whats so hard to get?" Sirius joked, poking her at the side. He had been sitting on her left side, with Peter on his left. Eva giggled; he had poked her ticklish spot! Lily rolled her eyes, but smiled at the same time. When the hell were they going to go out? Sirius had asked half the first years out already, and here's a girl he obviuosly liked and he didn't bother doing a thing! And neither did Eva, since she was extremely obliviuos to the fact that he obviuosly liked her!
"When I learn this the first thing I'm going to do is turn you into a cauldron!" Eva informed him with a slight grin. The eleven year old wouldn't ever admit it, for her modesty level nearly reached Lily's, but she had a great smile. She was a pretty little thing and guys stared, ooooohhh they stared, but she didn't notice and didn't care. There was the ignorance Lily was talking about, but Eva was too ignorant to notice.
"When you learn? Then I guess I have nothing to worry about," Sirius teased. Eva pushed him playfully. Remus, Lily and Peter tried to hard there snickers but failed miserabley, the enarly fell over there seats laughing. "Hmm, did we miss something?"
Remus shook his head vigoursly. "You two are just sickening!"
Sirius went red, but Eva raised an eyebrow. She was confused(but that wasn't anything new) but instead of coming out stupid, she decided to stay quiet and looked back down at her cat. She really needed help with this.
"Lily, do you mind helping me with this? A sort of tutor only you're not getting paid?" Eva asked her best friend.
"Peter and I are studyign today in the library, you are more then welcome to join!" Lily exclaimed as she gave her wand a twirl and muttered 'Caulercola!' turning Miskit into a multicolored cauldron.
Perfect timing. Proffesor McGonnagall stood up and walked around the room, checking to see whether everyone had completed the task at hand. She nodded in approval as she passed Remus and Lily's pots. She then took a glance at Eva and took her cauldron to examine it. At finding nothing wrong with it she commented, "What a wonderful job Ms. Evans but I would really love it for Ms. Avis to do her own work."
"Will do," Lily blushed and looked down. Remus smirked and shook his head.
"Should have denied it."
"Yeha I probably should have."
"It doesn't matter, since the class ends in 5...4...3...2...1..." the students stood and rushed out of the door as McGonnagall tried to tell them the assignment for tonight. A 12 inch paper on the importance of being able to turn one object into a cauldron correctly and the consequinces if its not done properly. Really did it matter? It was a stupid cauldron! No one cares!
"Ok, so Peter, Lily and me go to library now," Eva stated, holding her books with one hand and carrying Miskit, who was still a cauldron.
"Lady Evalynn, may I commend you on your oh so perfect grammer?" Remus snickered. Eva mumbled something about Remus and being a know it all. She enjoyed his company, but him and Lily could really make her feel stupid. bad enough she knew she wasn't the brightest but did they really have to remind her constantly? Some jokes, a few teasing was alright but really they were sort of over doing it. Even Sirius's comment today hurt her a bit. Oh well, Eva wasn't one to care what people thought. She was a 'as long as I'm happy everyone else can effing die' sort of person.
"Yeah, well screw you. Come on Evans and Pettigrew," Eva headed toward the library, Peter and Lily following. They weren't sure whether to say anything or not. What was there to say? Eva had throse phrases 'screw you' and 'piss off' that told you she was in that mood. Her 'mood' was a sort of form of pms, only a lot scarier. All you really needed to know was not to talk to her for a few minutes. She got over it quickly.
They arrived at library soon enough and, thank god, Eva had cooled off. The three picked a small round wooden table with what looked like bite marks on the edges. Gross. They took out some of theirbooks and a few peices of parchment and got straight to work. It had been a full hour, and they had only gone through one subject. Lily was discovering how difficult it as to deal with Peter and Eva while Peter and Eva learned what an awful teacher Lily was.
"Can we a have a food break?" Peter begged.
"Can't survive 10 minutes without food?" Eva teased. Poor little Peter looked away. She bit her lip. "Sorry dude, no big deal. Just joshin' around, you know?"
"You know, maybe a break would be a good idea," Lily agreed, giving Eva stern look. She merely shrugged it off and watched as Peter took out some snacks. Eva pointed to one and he nodde,d signaling she could take one. She nodded back, signaling a thank you. Much signals, like whoa.
"Where was James and Chloe today in Transfiguration?" Peter asked trying to make a peaceful conversation. Lily shrugged, but Eva laughed.
"Probably making out in the corner, like that day they did when Lily introduced us all! God that was so random," Eva cracked up as if it was the funniest thing ever. The other two just looked down and blushed. They were willing to say they didn't know her, if anyone asked. Eva noticed this and calmed down. "Are they even dating?"
"Well Chloe says 'they are hoplessely in love with each other'," Lily informed her. Eva rolled her eyes.
"Of course."
"James says they're friends who like to snog," Peter stated.
"Figures."
Lily blushed. "You know I've never snogged a boy. I"ve never really even kissed a boy."
"So? You're only 11, you've got you're whole life ahead of you!" Eva shook her friend slightly.
"You know, I've never really kissed a girl," Peter told Lily. Eva rolled her eyes strained herself not to say 'gee, never could have guessed'.
Lily smiled. Peter was sweet. Eva, on the other hand, thought of something. It was stupid, but they might be dumb enough to do it. While Lily was book smarts she wasn't that much of a socializer and was a bit back with fashion and etc.
"That can change," Eva offered.
"What did you have in mind?" Peter asked, obviuosly interested. Eva quickly stacked some books at the side of the table.
"I don't like this. Peter, don't listen to Eva," Lily warned.
"Oh shush," Eva ordered. "You can do it right now. One quick peck, no one will see."
Peter smiled, looking a bit eager. Lily on the other hand wasn't sure. She didn't think it was right. Kissing...in a library? What if they got caught? She would get kicked out, and Lily Evans adored the library! Also, who wanted Peter Pettigrew as there first as their first kiss?
"Ok," Lily sighed. Peter smiled and leaned in, as did Lily but once thier lips were half an inch apart she jumped away and grabbed her books. "I-I got to go."
She then rushed out of the library. Peter sighed and asked Eva," is it my breathe?"
Eva simple shrugged. "Possibly."
