Chapter 7 Angel
Lily was falling asleep in the common room at 11:30 in the night. She was doing her charms homework, her favorite subject, when she just dropped as James and Sirius walked in the common room from the portrait hole.
"Check out Evans," said Sirius laughing he was used to see her in the common room sleeping after her homework but it was still funny.
"Shut up Sirius," said James remembering the kiss they had shared earlier that day.
"What are you smiling about," asked Sirius looking at his best friend, little did they know that Lily was not really asleep but listening on their every word.
"Nothing," said James a little too quickly.
Sirius stared at him.
"Nothing," repeated James.
Sirius continued to stare at him.
"What??" asked James annoyed at his best friend.
"I saw you and Lily here share a lip-lock before her Ancient Runes," said Sirius smiling, James started to panic; since Lily was "asleep" he took the opportunity to lie.
"So," he said trying to act calm even though he was ecstatic.
"So? You've been dieing to kiss her since like forever and you get you wish. Did you feel something?" asked Sirius wanting to know every detail being King of Gossip at Hogwarts.
"Why so you can spread around rumors," said James avoiding the question.
"No so I can spread around the truth," said Sirius smiling and feeling superior.
"Since when," asked James avoiding the question, or trying to.
"Since now, now spill… wow," said Sirius noticing he had said now now, causing James to roll his eyes.
"Fine," he glanced at Lily, "It felt like kissing an angel," said James truthfully, closing his eyes to relive the moment.
"You're kidding right, Evans? Kiss like an, an angel," said Sirius with a disgusted voice
"Look just because you don't like Lily Evans…,"
"What about me?" said Lily, pretending to have been asleep during their conversation. Their heads turned to her sharply when she spoke. James was speechless, and Sirius holding his sides from laughing.
"What so funny?" asked Lily even though she knew the answer.
"Nothing...angel," said Sirius roaring louder with laughter.
"What is he talking about," Lily asked James, as he shot Sirius deadly looks.
"Nothing, he's just being Sirius," as he shot him another deadly stare.
"Well can you leave Black to his laughter and talk to me for a moment," Lily asked James.
"Uh…um….Okay," said as he stood up.
"Bye...angel," said Sirius laughing even harder.
"Follow me," he took her to any empty classroom where the Marauders planed tricks. "Shot," said James scared that she might have over heard him saying that she kissed like an angel.
"Okay, here I go," she started to pace the classroom. "The kiss that we um," she couldn't get the words out, she stopped right in front of him.
"Shared," said James hoping to lighten up the tension that was between them.
"Yeah shared, I hope that it you know doesn't come between us," she said looking into those gorgeous hazel eyes.
"Oh stuff it," he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into another kiss. She put her arms around his neck to increase the passion. He then let his tongue slip into her mouth, which she did not protest to.
(A/N There is a curse word in this part, but just one)
Lily, Courtney and Rebecca walked into the Great Hall for breakfast and sat in front of the Marauders like this: Courtney in front of Sirius, Rebecca in front of Remus, and Lily in front of James who was in the middle, and Peter in the corner next to Remus, Alice in the Ravenclaw table with her boyfriend Frank Longbottom.
"How's it going guys" said Lily as they sat down.
"Not much," said James not looking up at her.
"Bored...angel," said Sirius eating his egg and laughing to himself.
"Studying," said Remus reading his book and eating, "Big test…," chew read, "…Potions…" chew read, "…can not fail."
"And you wont," said Rebecca bored of her boyfriend's constant studying.
"Sorry babe," he leaned across the table and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Much better, you can study now," she said which caused the table to laugh except Remus and her.
"So what's up with you girls," said James looking up unto Lily's eyes which caused him to smile which caused her to smile but no one noticed since they where small smiles.
"Nothing, but apparently we have a big Potions test goody," said Courtney sarcastically.
"But I will pass, all ways good in that class," said Lily smiling.
"I still can't believe you got on Slughorns good side, I mean he never chooses well Muggle-borns," said Courtney jealous of how smart Lily was.
"I know in his last party everyone said that even Snape, man I hate that bastard," said Lily not realizing what she had said.
Every one stop what they where doing and stared at her. The Marauders mouths dropped, Courtney's and Rebecca's mouth soon followed. They had never ever heard Lily the prefect curse not even Remus, which she was closest to out of all the Marauders, for now.
She looked to up to see their faces.
"What," she asked, as if she had missed something. "Did I miss something," she asked as they all did not move a muscle when she asked her first question. James was the first to come back to reality.
"You… just…ahh…" he couldn't say it; Lily stared at him wanting the answer.
They rest got back to reality.
"Angel…" started Sirius
"…you…" continued Courtney
"…just…" continued Remus
"…cursed…" continued Rebecca
"…out…" continued Peter
"…loud," finished James, Lily looked confused.
"No I didn't," said Lily feeling awkward.
"You did to...angel," said Sirius laughing on the inside.
"Why do you call me angel," asked Lily even though she already knew the answer. Sirius smiled at her and then at James.
"Why you looking at me for," said James at bit too quickly
Lily raised an eyebrow, "Someone better start explaining," she was pretending to get madder.
"Just forget about it…angel," said Sirius, the rest of the gang was just staring at the three fighting.
"I will no forget about it," said Lily, laughing on the inside.
Sirius glanced at James who was getting redder by the minute.
"Well do… angel," said Sirius smirking.
"I will not," she turned to look at James who was now as red as a tomato, "and why are you so red?" she asked even though on the inside she was jumping.
"Uh…um…so about that Potions test Remus," James asked Remus wanting to change the subject.
"Don't get me into this," said Remus putting his hands in the hair as if he was being pointed a gun by a Muggle cop. James glared at him.
"What ever, but we have to go to class," said Lily as the girls go up, "Coming guys," she asked as Rebecca went to find Alice to tell her they were leaving.
"Yeah," all the Marauders responded together.
The rest on the day Sirius would not stop calling Lily angel, which made Lily madder and James redder, since it was Friday Rebecca and Remus went on a real date, and so did Alice and Frank, and Sirius and Courtney, she decided to give Sirius another chance, and Peter in the kitchen stuffing his face. So Lily and James where left alone. James stayed in his dorm thinking of the kiss, and Lily was losing patience that she wasn't on speaking terms with James.
Knock, Knock
James who had been staring into space went and got the door, he opened it to see Lily.
"Hey," he said softly.
"Hey, can I come in?" asked Lily.
James eyes got huge. His room at the moment was a complete disaster.
"Um…" he said wanting to tell her no but not in a bad way.
"I know a spell that can clean it," said Lily smiling.
"Okay, come in," James swallowed and let Lily into his messy room. (A/N just imagine the messiest room in the world!!)
"Oh my God," said Lily as her mouth dropped.
James chuckled.
"Cleanarato," said Lily, (A/N I made up the spell, if you want you can you it for your fan fics just tell me)
"Thanks," was all James said as he looked down.
"No problem, but there is one problem," said Lily seriously, the last two times she had spoken to James in private had ended in a kiss.
"Yeah," he said looking into her emerald eyes.
"Every time we're well alone and talk we end up kissing," said Lily looking any where but his eyes.
"Are you… huh?" he was smart but he wasn't catching anything she was saying, just staring at her made him grow unconscious.
"Either you ask me out or we just stay friends, I don't want to have a friend with benefits," she finished wondering if he even knew what friends with benefits meant.
"I can't ask you out remember," he said truthfully, he wasn't about to go back on his promise.
"Right," she said.
"But if I find a way to get you to be my girlfriend without asking you out then I will, but for now I guess we're just friends," said James, looking disappointed.
"Can we start tomorrow?" asked Lily she needed to get something out of her system.
"Start what?" said James hoping she was thinking what he was thinking
She leaned so she could whisper in his ear, "Being friends," said Lily.
A shiver ran down his back but that didn't stop him from grabbing her around the waist and kissing her passionately since it would be their last until he figured something out.
