Disclaimer I don't own a thing my dears! Unless your counting the plot, then I guess that is mine because as far as I know JK Rowling is a talented writer whereas I am not. And just basically anything you don't recognise is mine most probably. I think. Yeah ….

Authors Note Eeek! My first fanfic. Okay I will post the first few chapters then kind of assess the kind of feedback I'm getting and see whether or not I should continue.

That means I want reviews guys! Good or bad. I can take it – I'm a big girl now.

Also I would like to thank James' Lily flower too. If I hadn't been speaking with her recently I most probably wouldn't have jacked myself into gear and actually posted anything. Diolch!

Just give it a chance ;), os gwelwch yn dda? (Haha, if your Welsh hopefully you would have been taking over by my use of the language and will review now!)

Okay Here it is.

Love Is The Drug

Chapter One

She gripped the edge of the scuzzy, dirt-splattered sink. Her dainty, porcelain hands looking severely out of place. A glint of gold on her left ring finger contrasted oh-so-nicely though. She took a deep breath and allowed herself to remove her hands to test her own balance. She stumbled only slightly, but felt this was acceptable enough.

She took in her appearance by looking into the cracked mirror. It distorted her image slightly but either way she could tell she didn't look good.

Her usual vibrant auburn curls hung limply atop her head. Slightly sweat-drenched. You could see evidence of the aforementioned sweat clinging to her flushed cheeks and falling in bead form down her neck and into her cleavage which was on show in her low-cut spaghetti strap dress. Her emerald eyes glistened with unshed tears and dark bags were forming underneath them.

She turned on the sink and splashed herself with the cool merciful water.

"Come on Lily, get a hold of yourself." Her unusually husky voice broke the deafening silence, which had been in the bathroom up until that point. She took out her willow wand from her purse on the counter and waved it effortlessly over herself. Within moments her hair had it's naturally bounce and playfulness back to it, falling provocatively to the small of her back and her cheeks glowed healthily.

She applied a nude shade of lipstick to her lips slowly. Her worries entered her mind as she applied the lipstick at a snails pace.

There was a war going on. Not six months out of school and she had somehow got herself mixed up in this war. Not only that but she had really messed up big this time. What would James say when she finally got around to telling him?

What if he left her?

With that thought a single solitary tear slid down her cheek as she abruptly stopped her ritual applying of her lipstick.

A knock at the door brought her out of her reverie.

"Almost done," she replied while coughing to try and cover up the way her voice was cracking. The door opened an inch.

"Love? It's me, James. It is actually you right Lil? Your voice kind of sounded a bit like a man. Oh Merlin! Is there a man in there?" James' gentle teasing made a small but genuine smile grace her face. She opened the door to find him leaning against the doorframe. A lopsided smirk on his face to match his glasses that had fallen slightly lopsided. His arms crossed in front of his toned chest and his foot tucked behind the other in an overly confident pose. On any other man the pose would have made him look arrogant and abrupt. Actually the only other who could pull off that pose was one Mr. Sirius Black.

"Your not funny Mr. Potter, no-body laughs at your jokes or even listens anymore." Her bored tone did nothing to put him off his stride.

"Au contraire Mrs Potter! Laughing people often surround me. All dying to hear my next tale of heroism or witty story. If I may say so myself – I am quite the life of any party." He nodded his head while speaking as if talking to a child. Lily snorted despite her self and shook her head. Happy to finally get something out of her he gave up the witty banter and became the concerned husband.

"You feeling okay? You've been in here a while now. I just left Remus to carry on listening to Sirius' shag of the week tale. He was not happy with me," A throaty chuckle escaped his lips as he walked forward and backed her up against the sink. He placed his hands on her hips and gently kissed her exposed neck.

"So he's got it down to one a week now? He is really improving. Oh! Did Rosmerta hear him? She was the week before lasts wasn't she?" Her head was lolling back to give him better access to her neck. He laughed lightly against her neck causing tingles to go down her spine. It was amazing they still did that after 4 months of marriage.

"Well I think that she wasn't cleaning that table next to ours over and over again because it was really dirty if you know what I mean. And you didn't answer my question." He leaned away from her and cupped her chin in his hand so that her vibrant eyes met his.

"I'm okay James. Don't worry allright?" She placed a haste feather-light kiss to lips. "So order meeting now then?" She felt the sudden urge to be sick now that she brought herself out of her blissful state with James and back to what was really going on. The war.

"Yup. It's ten to seven now and we have to be there by seven so we better go. I'll go grab your coat." He sounded defeated after she had refused yet again to admit what was wrong with her. He flashed her a sad smile before leaving to retrieve her coat.

Lily sighed and looked at her reflection once more.

She placed a hand lightly on her abdomen.

"I'll tell him tonight."

AN Phew! First chappie done. I will add the next soon.

I know it doesn't really seem overly interesting as of yet, but I needed to set the scene so just bare with me okay?

Also, I felt that I should credit that I got the title for this while listening to "Love Is The Drug" from Roxy Music written by Bryan Ferry and Andy Mackay. Just in case you wan to listen to give you a kind of feel for the story. Mesh, I don't know what I'm talking about really. I'm just really bad at titles.

Review if you are oh-so-kind enough to.

Rydw i'n caru ti!
