Dont Own. And This is a good chapter... mainly because.. well. you'll read it. :) I hope you enjoy it.
It was mid-May. James and I had been officially a couple for 5 months. I hadn't had that much fun in a really long time. We spent every waking moment together. And the time spent apart, we spent thinking about each other.
The Common Room seemed to be our late night date place. I had been up studying one night, and instead of waking my roommates, I went down into the Common Room. It is rather large and with just the fireplace going, it was extraordinarily romantic. It was quiet, I could think without any interruptions.
Of course, after my discovery, I took the opportunity to show James. He was extremely amazed. He hadn't really been officially alone with me, especially in the Common Room. There was always someone with us. Either his buddies, or just the people in Gryffindor. It was rather irking to me.
One night, we were studying for the OWL's. The exam was a mere 2 days away. I snuck out of my chamber. I had sat down next to the fireplace, using the light to read. James came down the stairs only a few minutes after me. This was how it usually happened. It was less conspicuous that we had planned it.
James had his books in hand, as a 'prop', he had told me. I was trying to be serious. I had been studying for ages but, I wanted to do excellent on the exam. I didn't want my parents to think I was slacking due to my boyfriend.
"Lily, take a break with me." James urged. I shook my head. "How come?" he whined.
"Well, some of us actually want to pass. I actually care about my grade." I said, smirking. I knew I would ace it. Just extra studying wouldn't hurt.
"Lil, you know everything. You will pass. And I will pass. I've studied so much I think my brain was oozing out of my ears." He chuckled. He moved closer to me, wrapping his arms around me. He nuzzled into the crook of my neck.
"Lily, did I ever tell you how lovely you look in the fire light?? It brings out the green in your eyes. Makes them more irresistible than usual." His voice was soft. I nodded. "And did I ever tell you that I love you?"
I turned my head to look into his eyes. He had just told me he loved me. I had been planning to tell him myself the same thing. I just couldn't think of how. Right this moment, I could without being pushed into it. I could tell he was being sincere.
"James Potter, I love you, too." I said, beaming.
He leaned in and kissed my lips. It was a soft kiss. But, something in my body took over. I wanted, nay needed, more. I needed him. All of him.
I deepened our kiss, pushing all my energy into it. We ended up snogging a good 10 minutes straight until we were surpassed of air, we had to stop.
"What's going on? You seem more, anxious tonight." James told me.
"What do you mean? I just want to kiss you." I said, shyly.
"A mere 10 minutes ago, you didn't want to do this, you wanted to study. What's changed your mind?"
I actually hadn't really known I had changed my attitude so fast. I usually did this when I was with him. Of course, time seemed to stop when I was with James.
I shrugged. "I realize you are very wise. I feel my brain is too big for my head at the moment. And snogging is helping it decrease in size." I giggled.
He did too. Then leaned in and began our 2nd snogging session. This time, he lay me down on the blanket we were sitting on, deepening the kiss. I began to think he wanted more. And I knew this when he started to extend his hand up my shirt.
He was hesitant to keep it there for long until I pulled back. I looked into his blue eyes and I nodded my head. "James, I'm ready."
He smiled, quite shyly. Then he leaned in once again, kissing me with so much passion, I almost forgot my name. He then began to hike up my shirt, as I unbuttoned the top to his pajamas.
I was nervous. But, since I knew it was with James I would no longer be a virgin, I felt happy.
********************************************************************
My eyes opened to the ceiling in my chamber. 'Had I dreamt last night? Considering the fact that I wasn't in my chamber when it happened. How did I get here?' I thought. Then I looked over to see my roommates were no longer in their beds.
The grandfather clock that ticked in the room said it was 10 in the morning. Thankfully, it was Sunday. I got out of bed, put on my robe over my nightgown I had magically been put in and walked down to the Common Room.
I had seen almost everyone was gone, no sign of James. I walked back upstairs, into his dormitory. He wasn't in his bed.
I got dressed and made my way to the Great Hall for breakfast. Luckily, I saw Tonks and Remus sitting, snogging at the table. A familiar group of faces were around them, disgusted. I could hear Sirius say, "Jeez, dear cousin. Get a bloody room." And Tonks replied, "Piss off, you toss pot."
I giggled. And then I saw James. He was in a daze. I came up behind him, covering his eyes with my hands. "Guess who?"
"Hmm. My beautiful, amazing girlfriend?" He acted cool, as if he knew I was walking up behind him.
"Oh, yes. 'Tis I." I giggled. He pulled me into his lap, kissing me fully on the lips.
"Ugh, another couple who really need to get a room." Sirius said. I glared at him. I turned as red as a tomato.
"It's a shame, Sirius. You seem to be disgusted by us yet, you get to snog whomever and when we make a stink about it, you get all pissy." Tonks said. Then she glanced in my direction, "Can we talk?"
I nodded.
She took my wrist, pulling me away reluctantly from James, and Remus. Remus looked pissed because he wanted some more snogging. We found a place in one of the deserted hallways. Everyone was in the Great Hall.
"Spill." Tonks said, right as we sat down.
"What?" I was absolutely confused.
"Oh, come on. Jamie is all giddy this morning, and you know he's not a morning person. What happened last night?"
"What does it have to do with me?" I asked, innocently.
"Well, I heard from Remus that James had gotten up in the night, and never returned until 4. And when he returned, he smelled of perfume. I suspect it was your perfume. What happened?"
"Well, we kind of…shagged." I said, blushing.
She raised her right eyebrow. "Are. You. Serious?!?!?!?!?" She yelled.
"I don't look like him, do I?" I laughed at my joke. Then nodded my head. "It was the most romantic and most amazing night of my life. I've never felt that way."
"Obviously. I was like you when Remus and I shagged the first time. I had provoked him of course. But, he enjoyed himself." She blushed, her hair turned pink matching her face.
"So, how is it going between you and Remus?" I asked, changing the subject.
"Nice subject change. And we are fantastic. Celebrating our 7th month anniversary this upcoming Saturday." She beamed.
We continued talking until the guys came to find us. Remus had clasped onto Tonk's hand. James came up to my side and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Did you miss me?" He asked. I nodded.
We walked back to the Common Room and sat next to the fire. I cuddled up into James' lap. "So, Jamie, can I ask you something?"
He raised his eyebrow. "Jamie? Wow, Nymph sure is rubbing off on you." he chuckled.
I shook my head, "No. I wanted a nickname for you. And since she kind of started it, I'm using it now."
"Oh, well, you're my Lily Bear. But, only when we are alone." I leaned up and kissed him. I had fallen in love with him all over again.
