Thinking Spot

Lily Evans walked into the Great Hall thinking to herself. James Potter had asked her out again the night before. Did he really love her? Remus said he did. "But, he's so immature!" she thought. "Actually, not any more..." In first, second, third, fourth, and fifth year James had been absolutely unbearable! In sixth he had began to change and now, he wasn't a prat at all! We were actually kind of friends! Not kind of, we were friends!

"Do I really hate him?" Lily thought to herself as she sat down in the Great Hall next to her best mate, Hestia.

"What are you thinking about Lils?" the later asked.

"Just stuff." Lily answered.

As they sat thinking, a group of first year boys walked in. Lily always referred to them as 'The Maurauders Fan Club' because they basicaly worshipped the group. The group consisted of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. Most of the girls were crazy for James and Sirius. While Sirius went from one girl to another, James rarely dated. He asked Lily out atleast once a day. Even if he was dating someone else at the time. The only time he hadn't was when Lily had been dating Jackson Perks.

"I wonder what prank they're going to play today!" On boy exclaimed exitedly.

Lily rolled her eyes as Hestia laughed. The Maurauders had a tradition. They played one prank a day. Sometimes more but atleast one. At first the teachers used to put them in detention but eventualy, they realized it was just a waste of their time.

Lily instantly knew something was wrong when Sirius, Remus, and Peter walked in all whipering with seriouse looks on their faces. James was nowhere to be seen. As much as she hated to admit it, Lily immediatly became worried. Was he ok? What happened to him? Where was he? She had actually been considering saying yes to him when he asked her out today. She couldn't do that if he wasn't there!

"Where is James?" she asked Remus the moment the three maurauders sat down.

"We don't know." he answered. "He... left this morning."

I could tell that wasn't the whole truth. I wasn't a complete idiot!

"We can tell her." Sirius said. "James wouldn't mind."

"Not here though." Peter told me. "In private, come on."

Curiously, I followed them out of the Great Hall and into the deserted corridor. "Ok, what's up?"

"This morning, James got a letter from his dad. His mum had been really sick and she died last night. James was, understandibly, distraught. His father told him he couldn't come home for the funeral because it was N.E.W.T year. After showing us the letter, he just walked away. We've no idea where he went."

I put a hand over my mouth. "I didn't know she was sick!"

"Well, she was." Sirius answered.

"I have to go find him." I said making up my mind.

"Good luck." Remus said. "We tried."

"I'll try anyways." I said determined.

I immediatly began my search. He wasn't by the lake, nor near the forest, he wasn't with Hagrid, I couldn't find him anywhere! He wasn't even in the forest. I found myself back at the lake. I decided to head to my thinking spot. It was a little piece of land that jutted into the lake. I went there to think or if I felt like being alone where no one could find me. You see, the spot was well hidden by the hanging branches of the weeping willow.

However, when I arrived there, I saw someone else sitting there.

The boy had dark hair. He was tall and muscular with slightly tanned skin. His back was faced towards me but I knew who it was.

"James?" I said tentively.

He whirled arond and I could see tears in his hazel eyes. James Potter never let anyone see him cry. Yet, there were tears sliding down his face in front of me and he wasn't even trying to wipe them away.

"Hello Lily." he said in a chocked voice.

I walked over and sat down next to him. "I'm sorry about your mother."

"Me too." he answered sadly. "I'll miss her."

"You're not the only one." I said. I couldn't beleive I was actually close to telling him this. Only Hestia knew.

"What do you mean?" James asked.

"My mum died when I was ten." I answered sadly. Thinking about her made me cry. "Then, the next year I got my letter and I was so happy because I saw it as a chance to start out fresh and possibly finaly get over my mother. I used to come here a lot if I missed her." I told him while tears fell freely down our faces.

"I'm sorry about your mom." he said sadly. "I love this place. I come here all the time."

"Me too. You would think we would have crossed eachothers paths!"

He laughed a sad, empty kind of laugh. "It is odd."

I don't know how long I sat there next to him my head on his shoulder and his arm around me. His hand was burried in my hair. Suddenly, I felt the urge to kiss him. Being the rash person I was, I did.

I just smashed my lips into his and kissed him. Half of me was screaming at me. What the bloody hell was I doing! The other half of me was smiling on the inside. Before I knew it, James had recovered from the shock of me kissing him and was kissing me back passionately. I don't know how long it was before we broke apart.

We were both smiling like mad. "Lily Evans." he said looking me in the eye. "I love you. Will you go out with me."

This time, I didn't say no. I didn't even hesitate nor stop to think.

"Yes."
