A/n: thanks to the people that reviewed, you guys rock!! this chapter follows on right after the last. And away we go…
Chapter 7
Remus knew his friend exceptionally well. By lunchtime, James was joking and laughing and throwing cheeky smiles Lily's way.
After lunch, they had their last talk. Lily shared some of her ideas about what she'd like the prefect body to do this year and was tremendously surprised when almost everyone else came up with their own ideas.
As Lily was standing in front, she noticed Amy Smith moving ever closer to James, batting her eyelashes and laughing hysterically at his comments even though they were not meant as jokes. She felt a surge of annoyance towards her. What was she doing?!
Lily's attention was drawn away from them as Jack and Vicky engaged her in conversation, all the while still throwing dirty looks in Amy's direction.
James had noticed Amy moving closer to him on the couch too. He was use to girls acting like this around him but did she have to do it now?
In fact, the entire camp she had acted like this. Pushing people out of the way to sit next to him at meal times, offering to be his partner in most games and activities, asking his opinion on every little thing that was said and done.
He edged further away from her, trying to seem as natural as possible. He really didn't want Lily to see this.
"Who'd like coffee, I'm making?" James had finally jumped off couch and leaping to his feet, he quickly made his way to the kitchen and out of the corner of his eye he saw Lily's body relax and Amy's tense.
"Oh Lily, I really had a great time. It was so much fun." Christy hugged her and smiling broadly stepped into the emerald flames.
"Yeah, it wasn't bad." Mark said as he hitched his bag a little higher on his shoulder. "Anyway, I'll see you on the train then." He too stepped into the flames.
The air was filled with goodbye calls as the campers bid each other farewell. Some more excited about the end of the camp than others, Lily was one of those.
Although she had enjoyed it, it had been a lot of work and she was exhausted.
As the last couple of people disappeared from the tent Lily took out her wand and started packing the food into boxes. Remus and James were the only ones left with her. They had offered to help pack up the tents for her and she wasn't complaining.
"Okay, the two sleeping tents are packed; it's just this one left."
As Lily, Remus and James continued to pack up the tent James sent Lily cheeky looks while Lily just smiled sweetly at him as if she didn't know what he was on about. Remus just laughed silently as he could see that Lily could be a real tease. By the time the tents were packed up Lily's father had arrived to pick her up.
"Well that is that. Not so bad, hey?" Lily asked.
"It was actually really good."
"Yeah, thanks."
In turn each of the boys hugged her, James a little longer and more affectionately.
"How are you two getting home?" Lily inquired.
"Well you see James has his Apparition license and he agreed to take me home." Remus explained.
"Oh, well in that case, bye guys, see at the station." Lily said, as she got into the passenger seat of the car. Remembering something, she hopped out of the car and ran up to James. Handing him a piece of parchment with six numbers upon it, she whispered into his ear "Call me."
She climbed back into the car and as they drove away she saw James and Remus instantly disappear behind them.
"Well that boy with the dark hair seems nice." Her father said, as they sped down the road.
"Yeah. Yeah he is." Lily said starring out the window but not really seeing.
When Lily arrived home, she did the instinctive thing, called Heather.
"Hello, Heather. I've got to tell you…"
After explaining, in great detail, her weekend, Heather replied "Lily Evens, I'm shocked. What do you think you're doing? That boy's nothing but trouble."
"Heather," Lily said smiling "He's changed, you'll see."
"I seriously doubt that. Lily, I forbid you to see that boy."
Lily laughed. "Oh Heather. Just give him a chance. He's different, I promise."
