Lily stared out the oval window in irritation to the voices coming from in front of her. The window was blurred from the high fogs. Besides the loud engines, she could only hear gentle muttering then the three boys would burst out into laughter. Well, more James and Sirius' laughter then Remus. Remus was more interested in the pages of the fiction in his hands. He flipped a page tiredly and heaved a sigh. At this moment, Lily wished she didn't put her books in her suitcase. So, she sighed heavily and gazed at what seemed to be the never ending ocean. From the corner of her eye, she saw James Potter gawking at her between where his chair and Sirius' were spilt. Lily turned to him slowly and gave him a dark glare, her emerald eyes warning him to turn back around. James only smirked adoringly. James lifted his knees to his seat and leaned his chin on his headrest to acknowledge Lily.
"Air sick, my flower?" He asked, politely. The tone of good nature was very irksome but what really peeved Lily was his stupid nicknames. Her eyes fell to the back of my head then back to the so called idiot.
"No, Potter. Do you even have your seat-belt on?" Lily asked in annoyance. Sirius then mimicked James' sitting arrangement so he could also see Lily and also ready to taunt her at every slip.
"Nope. I'm James Potter. I don't need a seat-belt." James said with no shame in his tone and he dazed into ceiling as if he was posing for a historical picture. Lily scoffed lividly.
"Don't be stupid. Everyone needs a seat belt. What if we crash?" Lily asked, crossing her legs, showing zero amusement. He had stopped his ridiculous pose and turned back to Lily seriously. James seemed taken back. Sirius just laughed and found the opportunity to annoy her.
"Worried for dear Prongs, Evans?" Sirius teased. Lily's eyes widened then she immediately composed her face. She shook her head widely. James just blushed to himself.
"Shut up, Black." She replied, outraged. Her contact then fell back to James.
"I'm just warning you if you care about your life, James." Lily said and turned away from her tormentors. James was coloured in surprise at the fact she used his first name. Alice then decided to join the silly conversation.
"Let them die if they wish, Lily." Alice recommended in a bitter-sweet voice.
"Nice to know how much you care, Alice. I see Frank isn't here to keep you company!" Sirius mocked loudly, causing a warm colour crept onto Alice's face. The two broke out into an infuriated discussion. Lily gritted her teeth and glared at James. James just stared at her lovingly.
"Potter, Put on your seat-belt." Lily growled through tight pearly white teeth. James smirked. Still admiring her every feature before replying.
"Magic word?" He asked softly. Lily's eyes narrowed in irritation. She watched as Alice and Sirius were conversed in their own little argument. So, she said it very quietly.
"Please." She said, and avoided his eye contact, staring back to the fogged window beside her.
"Alright, Padfoot. Let us stop bothering the females." James commanded. Sirius looked confused and a little disappointed as he was enjoying taunting the girls.
"But I didn't even get to draw on Mary's face yet!" Sirius pointed out loudly, pointing out Mary who was fast asleep and made light whistling sounds from her nostril.
"In good time, we still have a few more hours before we land."
"This is true. Alright, Prongs." Sirius turned back and bounced in his seat. Lily stole a glance to James and only saw him wink to her, fluffing up his hair out of habit. She let out an exasperated sigh and rolled her eyes.
James slid back down his seat. Turning right around, properly. Lily pretended to gaze at the view below her but when she heard a "click." She couldn't contain a victorious grin. James also commanded Sirius to put his on as well. Sirius was a little bewildered by this, but did what James had ordered. Sirius took a peak through the crack to see Lily and gave her a humorous glare. Alice turned to Lily and smiled.
"Excited?" Alice asked in a happy melody. Lily thought it over before she responded.
"I was, until I found out the stupid gits were coming along." Lily broadcasted in a volume that it was obvious that James and Sirius could hear. James muffled a quiet laughter, so he wouldn't be scolded for eaves-dropping.
"It shouldn't be so bad, we're going to America!" She clapped her hands together. Lily wished she could also bounce along with Alice but there were the flaws in the trip that held her down.
"I knew slaving over homework would pay off one day!" Alice said while chuckling.
"I don't get it! They only let the smartest kids in Muggle Studies go on this trip! How did those two get in?!" Lily pointed to the back of their chairs.
"James is smart, Lily. His grades are just as high as yours." Alice informed although Lily was quite aware. Lily pretended not to hear that. She let out a scoff though.
"That doesn't explain Black." Lily crossed her arms tracing no delight.
"Sirius copies all of Remus and James' work anyway." Alice said so simply, also using a tone of obvious fact.
"Whatever. . ." Lily muttered and felt quite insulted by her matter-of-factly tone.
"That was nice of you anyway." Alice admitted.
"What was?" Lily asked in complete and total blank alert.
"You were caring about James." Alice giggled. Lily's left eye twitched and she quickly responded.
"Shut up!' Lily then grabbed the earphones she had brought with her and shoved them into her ears. Alice just laughed and copied her. Turning the channel until she found a station she was satisfied with. The plane was very small.
It wasn't like other planes Lily had went on before. The kind Lily had gone on was quite large and usually sat thousands of people. This plane on the other hand only had a total of thirty chairs and only twelve of them were in use.
She could admit, going to America sounded so pleasing to the ear. Being rewarded for all her hard work for once besides getting the usual great mark. Except, it also felt like a punishment considering James would be constantly flirting with her and Sirius would just be plain annoying.
Lily tapped her foot absentmindedly to the tune being blared into her head. She was a little relieved that not all the Marauders were going to join her on a trip of a life time. Peter wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the box so it wasn't really a great surprise when his name wasn't on the list. She did feel a little sad for him knowing he was being left out. Lily's emerald eyes flickered to James' chair.
Suddenly, Lily felt a great deal of pressure knock her around in her seat. Lily gasped so strongly she could have erupted a lung. Her hand quickly clamped around her arm rests. Alice's head whirled to Lily and they both shared a fearful expression. Mary's eyes snapped open.
"What's going on?" Mary yelled in terror. Nobody responded though. Lily ripped out her earphones and tried to sit still her seat against the constant wrestling of the plane. The speaker of the pilot then began.
Lily's P.O.V
"Hello passengers, I'm afraid one of our engines has exploded and has been-" Just then there was two louder bangs. I heard Sirius yelp like hopeless dog. If it was any other time I would have teased him.
"Make those two engines. . ." The pilot corrected awkwardly. The comic relief was not settling into any of us. We were all panicking separately.
"It seems I have lost total control of the plane, I'm sorry to inform you all but I fear we are about to crash. . . "I couldn't contain anything anymore after the sentence entered my mind. My head wrapping around each single word. I began to scream like a toddler who was lost. I didn't care about my bloody pride, I was about to die!
"Thank you for riding Wandless Airlines." Was that really necessary? By the name of the flight company, I came to the conclusion I was also wandless. The teacher commanded us to put it our suitcases so we wouldn't be distracting the pilot.
So much that has done for the lot of us! I began to tremble violently in my seat. Glancing at the window to watch us soar straight, near plunging into the window. Our professor only told us to calm down. I couldn't just sit and wait for death to strike. I only saw the back of a head stand up. It was the back of James Potter's head. He turned to the rest of us and screamed.
"Everybody follow me!"
"Mr. Potter, please remain in your seat!" The Professor pleaded more then ordered. She had claimed one air mask and was sitting. She had terror struck in her eyes, she was sitting though. I didn't care I quickly unbuckled myself and followed James. What was there to lose? I noticed that everyone else was behind me. James managed to remain complete and total balance and ran to a door that looked completely sealed off. It had large words warning not to open. James disobeyed and quickly opened it.
The harsh sounds of wind screaming into our ears. James turned to everyone.
"Grab someone and hold on tight!" I saw everyone pair up. Sirius with Alice. Remus with Mary. Even the people I forgotten their names tagged off. James grabbed my hand without any hesitation. I could have cared less at this moment. We were all about to die. James swung his long legs out into the exit and dragged me along. I gripped onto him so tightly I thought I was going to break his hand. He was using just as much pressure. My gaze flickered to my feet only to see myself soaring downwards. I screamed and wrapped myself around James' waist. Hiding my face into his shirt. I heard screams and Sirius Black curse like a maniac from above me, and then explosions. I winced harshly and pretended this was all just a scene in an action movie. With complete surround sound. I could feel my humble clothes tearing from the pressure. Better my outfit than my body.
My feet crashed into what felt like cement. It was all too painful to bear. I screamed in agony. I never felt so much pain in my entire life. To my surprise, it was the ocean and my scream had only been silenced by water. Thousands of bubbles exploding from my lips. I took my face out of James' chest and only saw him gazing at me. Relief claimed his face as he saw I was still alive. I let go of him and gestured him to swim up. He followed my lead and I whirled my head out of the water. Our attempts at breathing sounded like a complete mess. I sounded like I was sobbing and James was coughing up saltwater. My whole body felt so weak.
I forced myself to keep kicking my legs to stay up. I was losing my strength.
"L-L-Lily!" James finally said. I gawked at him helplessly. He looked like he was about to cry, he could have been but it was hard to tell with his wet face.
"Ja-James. . ." I had completely forgotten that he was an arrogant jerk and wrapped my arms around him and smothered him in a tight hug. He saved my life.
"Lily. . . There is still a chance of dying. . We're not saved yet." James had stated. It's like he read my mind and had to correct me.
"I know, I know. . ." I blubbered like a baby. He pulled me off him yet still kept his arms around me.
"I want you to know I love you." His confession left me silent. Love?! Me?! But he was only joking every time he would say something like this . . . why does he sound so sincere?!
"James . . . I " Just as I was about to respond. . . James closed his eyes and fell back. I screamed in belief that he just died.
"JAMES!" I screeched. Just a I used my whole being to scream so loudly, my legs gave in. I crashed back into the water. I struggled and wrestled to stay up but there was nothing I could do. All my energy had been drained. I was slower now but I continued to sway my arms. Everything was in a frozen motion. I felt myself sink slowly too. I felt light as air now not moving. My muscles cramped in relief, yet my lungs were vibrating and craving oxygen. Next thing I knew, everything faded to black. And I thought I was dead.
Is this the end of Lily and James?!
well obviously not, because that's not in the J.K Rowling Books.
Shut up, Common Sense!
Are all the characters dead?!
no, because there would be no point to this story.
