Chapter 3 – Safe for now

"I can't believe that we get our very own dorm!" James said, jumping up and down with joy.

"Alright mate, calm down will ya? Trying to study here" said Sirius.

James, Remus and Peter did a double take and looked back at Sirius lying on his bed, a book over his face.

"Dude" Remus began "Studying actually means that you have to read the book, not use it as a pillow"

"What? Since when!" Sirius cried

"Since you took Advanced Potions, you douche" Peter said, and ducked from the pillow that came hurtling at him.

"Yeah, why did you take that?" James asked, pulling out his trunk and putting the things that he had taken out previously, back in ready to move to his new, private dorm.

"Figured Yazzii would need some company" Sirius shrugged.

"Erm, mate…Yazzii took advanced potions with Gina, Lily and Alice, I doubt she needs your company" Remus stated, snickering.

"Like she can resist my charm" Sirius said, puffing out his chest "She'll cave soon"

James snorted.

"Anyway" Remus said "I need to go and meet Gina now, so see you lat-"

"Who said my name?" Said a voice coming from the boy's door.

The four Marauders turned to face the door, and were meet with the sight of Gina, looking like a goddess, leaning up against the door. Her long hair was curled, and she was wearing skinny jeans and a red hoodie.

"I…err…Gina…Hey" Remus stuttered, grabbing his bag and walking towards Gina "See you later guys" Remus said to the other Marauders, but not taking his eyes off Gina.

As soon as the door shut, Sirius was off.

"Bloody Merlin, who was that and what have they done with G balls?"

James shook his head and turned back to packing.

"I mean, did you see them skinny jeans? They should be made illegal. Oh god, if Yazzii wears them I'm gonna need to go the hospital wing. I mean phoar"

"Yes Sirius, we understand, your body would have a malfunction if plaster wore them. Now shut up and help me carry this to my Head Dorm" James said, struggling to get it to stand up right.

"James, seriously, are you a wizard or not?" Sirius asked, raising his left eyebrow.

"Oh…right…wingardium Leviosa!" James shouted, and his trunk rose off the bed, following behind James and Sirius as they made there way to the door.

"You coming Wormtail?" Sirius asked, looking behind him at Peter's figure on his bed, his head buried in a muggle studies book.

"Nah, got to study, see you later Padfoot"

James and Sirius nodded and made their way out of the door.

…..

"Chocolate Frogs" James said to the statue that was guarding their head dorm's door. The statue nodded and moved to the left, revealing a door. James, Sirius and the levitating trunk made their way through the door, to see a common room. The common room was decorated in Griffindor colours, with a huge fire in the centre wall and a huge sofa opposite it. Between the fire and the sofa was a mahogany table, already scattered with quills, parchment and books, clearly from Lily. In the common room was also a half filled book shelf, a notice board with all of the prefect rotas on, and to James's delight, a coffee machine.

"Coffee!" James squealed.

….

After making himself and Sirius a rather large pot of coffee, the two Marauders climbed the stone staircase that was to the left of the grand fire. At the top of the small landing there were three doors. The door to the left had the letters HB on it; where as the door to the right had the letters HG. The door in the middle had nothing on it, so James, being curious, opened the door to reveal a huge bathroom, where Yazzii was currently drying her hair.

"Awww man! I missed her shower!" Sirius stated, clutching his chest.

"Err, standing right here fella's" Yazzii said, grinning "You checked out the rooms yet James?"

"Just this bathroom and the common room" James replied "Where's Lily?"

"Oh, she's talking to McGonagall about the new prefects"

"Figures" James said, walking out of the bathroom and into his bedroom.

Dropping his trunk on the floor, he took in his new bedroom. It had been decorated in his favourite colour, red. There was a four poster double bed in the middle of the room, with a bedside table either side. By the window there was a wooden desk and a chair, already filled with new quills and parchment. There was also a wardrobe and a set of Chester draws, along with a mini bookshelf.

"Wicked" James said, and jumped face down onto his new bed.

….

After a long meeting with Professor McGonagall, Lily made her way back to her new dorms. But instead of having an uneventful walk back, she ran into the Syltherins.

"Aha! Look who it is, the Mudblood Evans" Squealed Bellatrix, laughing along with all the other 9 Syltherins.

"10 points from Syltherin for foul language Bellatrix" Lily said, trying her best not to let her face show fear.

"Oooooh I'm scared!" Said Bellatrix, before coming closer to Lily "something awful is coming your way Mudblood, and you better watch out, because it's not gonna be pretty" She said, before turning around and walking away laughing.

Lily took a deep breath before practically running to her dorm.

"Ch-Chocolate Frogs" Lily said, breathless.

The door appeared and she ran in, slamming it shut behind her, making James jump up from the sofa.

"Lily, bloody Merlin you scared me, list-" James stopped as he took in Lily's shaking, crying figure. "Lily! What's wrong?"

"B-Bellatrix" Lily said, before collapsing into James's arms.

"What? What did the hag from hell do now?"

"She threatened me…James, I'm scared"

"Of what?"

"The war" Lily stated. "It's all getting so horrible, and I don't know what to do!" She cried into his chest

"Shhh" James cooed "Your safe here, I won't let anything happen to you, I promise"

"You promise?"

"Yes. You're safe with me"

"For now" Lily said, and sniffed into his chest

"For ever" James whispered, and kissed her forehead.
