DAY 2 AFTERNOONLily headed to her dorm right after James did. She took off Sirius shirtand her jammies then took a bath. She let down her hair, put on a pair of skinny bicycle jeans and a dark green shirt with a pair of dark blue flip-flops. She added the pair of emerald earings Alice gave her and the necklace from James.
"Hey, Evans. Ready to fly?" James said, eyebrows raised when she appeared at the common room. He was wearing regular jeans and a shirt as black as his hair. James had his hand in his pocket and was grinning at her.
"Let's just get this over with." Lily sighed, walking to the back of the portrait of the fat lady. James followed and quickly opened it. Lily stepped out and James stooped out to follow. "Come on! " James said excitedly running towards the quidditch pitch.
Lily laughed at his eagerness and followed him nonetheless. "Where's your broom?" Lily asked, realizing that James hasn't brought anything. "It's in the shed. I'll get it." James said and ran off to the measly little broom shed, getting his Silver Arrow Elite. Lily raised her eyebrows when he returned.
"Only one broom?" Lily asked suspiciously. "Do you want one of you own?" James asked smirking. "You could fly alone if you want. I'll get you an extra broom and -" James began, running to the broom shed. Lily cut him off and grabbed his arm. "NO. No. Nevermind." Lily said shaking her head. "Let's just go before I chicken out of the dare." she moaned.
James got on the broom stick and waited for Lily to mount.
Lily stared at him.
"Well, get on." James beckoned.
"Wh-Where? Back or uh, uhm, front?" Lily stuttered.
James chuckled and Lily gave him a death glare.
"Wherever you want."
"Damn it James Potter. Just tell me where!" Lily flushed.
"Alright..." James mumbled, then scoched over the end of the broom, signing that Lily should sit in front of him.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" James asked, hurrying Lily up.
Lily akwardly mounted the broom. She didn't even have a second to compose herself because James kicked off the ground.
He raised the broom's tip just as Lily screamed "James Potter! Put me down now! My flip flops fell to the lake and they're probably being eaten by THE giant squid!" she shrieked. James just chuckled and assured her. "It's alright! I'll take you around the castle!" he shouted against the roaring winds.
James was DEFINITELY enjoying Sirius idea of taking Lily flying. Lily's hair was let down and was tickling his face against the wind. She could smell her perfume and he was unimaginably close to Lily. He always dreamt of this, taking Lily flying. She smelled like a... hmmmmm... lily flower. This thought made James chuckle.
"What in merlin are you laughing about, Potter?" Lily turned, worried that something happened. "Nothing." James assured. They were circling the North tower when James was hit by a bludger. His grip on the broom went slack and his vision blurred.
"Lily, you have to fly this thing." he mumbled to her ear then passed out. They were dropping altitude when Lily realized what he said. "Damn it, Potter." she mumbled, then drove the broom and slowly made it drop to where the bludger originally came from.
To her surprise, Sirius, Remus and Peter waz there. "What were you two thinking?" she shrieked at them when she dismounted and levitated James safely onto a bench. Remus face looked apologizing but Sirius just stood there and whistled inoccently.
"We could've died." Lily said in a silent rage.
"So?" Sirius said.
Lily slapped him. "Git." she mumbled, then went to James' bench.
"You deserved that.." Remus mumbled to Sirius.
"James." Lily said, trying to shake James awake.
His eyes fluttered open. "What happened?" he asked with a groan.
"Sirius hit you with a bludger." she sighed, stroking his hair.
"WHAT?" James said, straightening up. Lily removed her hand from his hair and stood up.
"I flew the broom down when you passed out and levitated you there." Lily explained.
"Where's Sirius?" James asked.
Lily pointed with her thumb to Sirius.
"You should really leave, Lils." he said, his eyes blank.
"What are we going to do tonight?" Lily curiously asked.
"Ooooh. That sounds wrong." James chuckled.
"I'm serious." Lily said.
"Actually, I am." Sirius butted in.
"That joke is 5 years old." James called out.
"Just go down the common room at 7." James said.
"Well then," Lily said, trying to say goodbye casually.
Lily got on her toes and hugged James.
"Thanks for the time." she said while hugging him.
She removed her arms from his neck then smiled and turned.
James was still shocked that Lily hugged him.
He quickly went to the other marauders.
"What were you thinking?" James asked Sirius.
"James, mate, you are SO going to thank me when this date is over." Sirius smirked.
