Chapter 1 The Interesting News, part 1
'Bye Lily have a good year' Lilys mum called her as Lily put her trunk into a compartment with her friends; Alice, Scarlett, Maddie, Vicki.
'Bye mum, I will see you soon. Love you.' Lily called back
'Love you too Evans.' James Potter said grabbing her around the waist
'Potter get off of me now!' Lily screamed at him. 'Either get off me or I will hex you!' James let go of her straight away.
'Lily you know you love me really.' James replied gazing into Lily's sparkling emerald green eyes, he didn't know how but every time he looked into them he loved her more.
Lily watched her mum disappear as the train gathered speed. 'Leave me alone Potter I have enough to put up with without you adding to it again. WHAT YOU ARE HEAD BOY!' Lily shouted as she looked at James properly for the first time, noticing the H on a badge above his quidditch badge.
'Yep and it looks like you are Head Girl, lucky me'
'Leave me alone Potter!' Lily shouted bursting into tears and running off down the train. James looked on shocked wondering what had got into Lily as it usually took him a lot longer to upset her.
'What you done this time Prongs?' Sirius asked shocked. 'This is a new record even for you. So what have you done to upset the love of your life this time?'
'I don't know, I I, she had just realised that I was Head Boy then she shouted at me, burst into tears and ran off. I don't know what to make of it.' James responded shocked at what had happened. 'She doesn't usually shout at me at least until we reach Hogwarts.'
'Have you seen my fiancée? Oh it is you.' Snape snapped as he realised who he was talking to.
'And who might that be?' James snapped back.
'Lily Evans.' Snape said walking off with a smirk wishing he could have photographed Potter's reaction.
'Him engaged to Lily. It can't be. She can't love HIM!' James spluttered. Sirius and Remus grabbed him when they saw that James was going to curse Snape. 'Let me go NOW!'
'No way, you have to act responsible now you are Head Boy, if you touch him you will lose your status straight away. Relax you can talk to Lily later; you have a job to do right now. The prefects.' Remus added when James looked confused. 'Come on, see you in our compartment later Sirius.'
James wondered how on earth Lily could wanna go out with that thing let alone get engaged to him, he thought after last year's party he thought that Lily loved him too. She is my world, of all people she could get engaged to, why did it have to be my worst enemy. I love her James thought.
Remus poked James, bring him back to reality as they reached the prefect compartment. The compartment at the front of the train with a large P on the glass.
'Come on Lily is in there, you don't want her to see you are upset, do you?'
Forcing a smile on his face, James walked into the compartment with Remus right behind him. Lily looked up as they walked in and smiled at Remus, ignoring James completely. James's smiled disappeared and he got on with the job he had to do, speaking about responsibilites to the prefects. Afterwards James decided he needed to speak to Lily to find out where he stood after last year.
'Lily, can I speak to you in private please?' James asked her as she was leaving. Lily turned around wondering what he wanted.
'Lily, you remember the party last year when you were nice to me. Do you still like me, at least as friends?'
'James you don't understand do you, you can't understand as you don't have these problems I have now.' Lily shouted bursting into tears
'Lily just tell me what is wrong please.'
'I'm pregnant!'
Chapter 1 The Interesting News, part 2
'You're what?' James asked starring at her, taking in every detail of her. Her pale skin, auburn hair, slim figure, her beautiful almond shaped, sparkling emerald green eyes that always made him feel warm and happy.
'I. I. I'm pregnant.' Lily whispered falling to the floor. James ran forward and held her tight in his arms as she broke down crying. James was so intent at staring at Lily that he didn't notice that Severus Snape had appeared at the door of the compartment and was staring with a look of pure hatred at James.
'Get your hands off my fiancée now!' Snape shouted at James. Lily jumped up and wiped her tear-stained eyes. James having let go of Lily stood up and stared at Snape in disbelieve but simply said.
'Congratulations Lily. Snape. Lily I will see you in the common room before first duty. Bye.'
James left to go back to Sirius, Remus and Peter, but he looked at Lily first and understood from her look that he was not to repeat a word from the conversation they had just had.
After James had left Severus looked at Lily before speaking.
'Why was he holding you? You should know by now that he fancies you. He is going to get ideas from that.'
'I just needed to someone to talk to about Petunia. Anyway Alice and that lot will wonder where we are, come on.'
Snape put his arm around her, holding her close to him. Lily didn't know why, but she didn't seem to like the way he was holding her after having James' arms cradling her. Lily felt more confused when she got the butterflies for thinking about James.
'What's going on?' She thought.
Chapter 2 The Confession
After the feast Lily and James had to check the corridors for any students who had not gone to their common rooms and was out after the curfew.
'Lily, you know that you can tell me anything and I won't tell anyone not even Sirius.' James told her seriously as they walked back to the Common Room.
'Miss Evans, Mr Potter. There you both are. I had completely forgotten to tell you both earlier that you don't have to sleep in your dormitory. As head girl and boy you get your own bedrooms, common room and bathrooms. You can access them through the portrait of the lion in the Grythindor Common Room. The entrance is only accessible to the Common Room of the students who are Head Boy and Girl. The password is Godric Grythindor, but you can change it whenever you want to. Have a good night and see you in class tomorrow.' Professor McGonagall said walking away from them.
'Cool. Lily are you okay?' James said turning to look at Lily who looked on the point of collapsing. Placing his arm around her, James led her to the portrait of the Fat Lady and spoke the password 'Citrus Burst'. James looked around the Common Room and noticing the portrait of a big golden lion he helped Lily over there and muttered the password quietly to it as there was quite a few people still in the Common Room. Lily and James both looked around in wonder at their new private Common Room. It looked similar to the main one of which everyone shared, but was slightly smaller. There was 2 doors off one of the walls, each with writing on. James led Lily to the comfy looking sofas and lowered her on it carefully. Lily shut her eyes as James spoke, clearly upset
'It's Snape's, isn't it?'
Lily looked up, tears streaming down her face. She looked beautiful in James' eyes. He wished more than ever that she was his.
'No, it isn't his.' Lily said in a barely audible voice, 'when Grythindor won the quidditch cup.' Lily stopped, starting to cry again, whispering, 'I'm pregnant with your, your baby.'
If James was shocked he didn't show it. He sat next to Lily hugging her tight. He wanted to protect her. Lily was confused as she felt safe with James' arms around her.
'I love Severus, not James.' She argued in her head, 'but why didn't you feel safe in Sev's arms, and you do in James' arms.'
Lily gave up on the arguing that was going on in her head and placed her head on James' shoulder, shutting her eyes. James smiled thinking 'if only she was mine.'
