Secrets Out

Chapter One

Lily

I was sitting with my two best friends, Marlene and Alice, we were talking, or mostly they were just talking. Lately I haven't been able to do anything without thinking of one person, James Potter. It's been a month since school started and I cannot get over how much he has changed. The only thing that's remotely the same about him is his pranks, which he and his group of friends will only stop once they graduate. Maybe. But the pranks are funny, are never at anyone's expense, except maybe the Slytherins but at this point I'm all for it. We have also grown into friends, good friends, in the last month, but lately I have been feeling… different.

Whenever he smiles, my stomach does a flip flop and my heart beat quickens so fast that I swear he can hear it (and anyone who is within 10 feet of us). Whenever he touches me my skin heats up and I flush. I already know I like him, I always have, but he was always so immature and arrogant and many more things I would rather not say, which kept me from saying yes. But now he's grown up, the man I've been waiting for.

"Lily? Lily, are even listening?"

I looked up at Alice who had been trying to get my attention.

"What?" I asked.

"You okay? You look stressed." Marlene said with concern in her eyes.

"I'm fine, just thinking of a new point for my essay. I'm going to go to the library." I got up to leave, I didn't even hear what Marlene said when I opened the door and walked out closing it behind me.

Instead of going to the library I went to the willow tree by the lake. I sat down leaning my head back against the tree, inhaling the October breeze.

James, why is he everything I think about? Even in class when it's a boring lecture, or even in Charms I zone out and think about him. Yeah I just said Charms, my favorite subject, I daydream about James. It's like my brain is on one channel all the time, James Pot-

"Hey Lily," I opened my eyes to see James, "You mind if I join you?"

"Not at all," I said with a smile, I closed my eyes again. Now how am I supposed to think when he's here? Hell, all I can think about is him. But with him right beside me, our arms just touching and I can hear him breathe, makes it so much harder. When he's near it's like I'm in a daze, nothing concerns me than the fact James is right there, with me.

I opened my eyes and looked at James; he was staring out onto the lake.

"I like to think of this being my spot. I always come here to think, to get away from people. For some reason it makes me feel alone and calm even though it's right in the open, I think it's because the fresh air and the lake make it really peaceful and makes you at ease, you know?" I suddenly said.

He looked at me confused, "Even when people like me interrupt?"

I laughed, "People like you?"

"People you despise." His face had a pained expression thinking I despised him. Oh how wrong he is about that.

"James if I despised you, do you think I would let you sit with me? Talk to you civilly? Or have become your friend? Cause in no way do I despise you, or hate you. Even dislike you James." I said with a smile.

His face light up, "Seriously?"

I laughed, "Of course."

James smiled and closed his eyes. Slowly I pulled my eyes away from his face, his gorgeous face. I wonder if he even still likes me, he might, I mean could he still like me?

"Lily?"

"Yes?" I opened my eyes and slowly looked at him.

"I want to show you something," he got up giving me his hand.

"Show me what?" I said being hesitant.

"Oh come on Lily, trust me." With that I took his hand and he helped me up.

"So where are we going?" I asked walking with him.

"Somewhere that calms me and keeps me at ease, where my friends can't find me and I can think about anything." He said giving me a smile.

I smiled back, "And where is that?"

"You'll see, but first I will need to blindfold you." He said giving me a smirk that would have annoyed me last year but now it makes me smile back with a small blush.

"A blindfold, you're kidding right?" I put my hands on my hip giving him a look.

"Alright fine, you have to close your eyes and promise not to open them until I say."

I groaned, "Fine."

He smiled, which of course, made me smile back right before I closed my eyes.

"You are going to lead me right?" I asked.

"Yes, of course."

I felt his hand being placed on the small of back, and he gently pushed me forward.

We walked and walked, I stumbled a few times but James caught me every time. Every once and a while James would ask if I still had my eyes closed, it was always the same answer, yes I do James. Which was true, I haven't opened my eyes nor will I until we get to where ever he is taking us. I can't believe he's even being so serious about it, making me close my eyes and everything. He better not make me again on the way back to the castle, its ridicules. I mea-

"Okay, where here." I felt James' hand leave my back. I was kind of saddened because I liked the feel of his hand on me, regardless of where it was.

"Finally, that took forever." I opened my eyes and gasped.

And here's the first chapter!
