A/n: Thanx to all
my wonderful reviews!! There is nothing better then coming home and
seeing reviews in my inbox (hint hint) anyways, here's a word of
advice if I get reviews I will be more likely to update faster and
cure my writers block!!! Tally ho! On with Chapter 7
While awaiting the return of Remus, Sirius and I were playing a game of wizard's chess, in which I was winning. I was about to check mate Sirius when Remus bounds into the room knocking Sirius and I on the floor. Cursing, I got up, dusting myself off; I always seemed to be on the floor. Helping Sirius up, being the lazy bum he is. We both looked at Remus for an explanation of his rudeness.
"Sorry guys," he said apologetically.
"It's okay Moony," Sirius said, giving Remus a pat on the back.
"You just saved me from defeat," Sirius said. I gave him a dirty look. Impatient about what Lily might of said, I looked at Remus.
"So what did she say? " I asked. Wanting to beat him up, for ruining my chance to beat Sirius.
"Lily said she would try to be nice to you, after I talked some sense into her of course."
"YES!" I shouted happily.
"You so rock Moony, you should really start a business you know." I said smiling like a lunatic.
"I know huh?"
We all started laughing. When we heard a distinct 'ahem' we looked up, it was Lily, she was so beautiful, my mouth was hanging open in astonishment. Whatever she wore she made it look good, not the other way around. She seemed to have noticed my mouth hanging open, she started laughing, not meanly but like she was happy or something, don't ask me girls are way too complicated. But I was shocked nonetheless, Lily laughing in front of me it was a miracle. After I seemed to memorize every detail in her face, not wanting to forget this moment.
Trying to break the sounds of Lily laughing, which was starting to get annoying, Sirius tripped Lily making her land on me. I would have to thank Sirius someday.
Having the additional weight on my chest knocked the wind out of me. I was totally not expecting this, like I would sink that low. Lily seemed to be surprised to, we were inches apart, this seemed oddly familiar, I smiled at this thought. If I wasn't mistaken I thought I saw her blush, but I mustn't get my hopes to high.
" Hello Potter," she said awkwardly, she got off me to my disappointment. We both blushed again, was that even possible?
" Hi Lily, so how is the cleaning going?" I said lamely trying to change the subject.
" Um… good I guess, considering it's all your guy's mess!" she said sarcastically.
" Oh yeah, sorry about that," I couldn't believe it we were actually talking to each other, "we'll help you clean it up if you like. Right boys?" I nudged Sirius rather painfully in his stomach.
" Yeah… whatever" said Sirius in pain.
" Actually Prongs, Padfoot and I were going to go find that snitch, remember?" said Remus obviously trying to get me alone with Lily. Making a note to thank my friends for the alone time with Lily.
"Oh… is that all right Lily?" I probably shouldn't use her first name, but she hasn't made any objections. I was on a roll I hadn't said anything stupid…yet.
" Yeah Potter it's fine." Ouch! My last name we would have to work on that, in time I guess Remus would say.
Lily and I walked out the door; we headed towards the supply closet. Walking in silence always bothered me. I had to say something.
" So Lily how have your holidays been?" I said in effort to start a conversation.
" Oh… they've been fine. You?" it seemed like she was hiding something but she obviously didn't want to talk about it.
" Mine have been okay, except Sirius won't shut up about Alexis. Whoops! Wasn't supposed to say that." This seemed to have caught her attention.
"Really now?" she said with an grin on her face
"Yeah, it's kind of annoying really. Please don't tell her okay."
"Why shouldn't I?" she said playfully.
"Because Padfoot would kill me duh!" I said seriously. (A/N: lol... I know this pun is used a lot but oh well…)
I was enjoying this; things seemed to be hitting off. When all of a sudden, I heard Sirius calling my name, not by me, but from the mirror.
" What's that noise?" she asked
" Oh it's my mirror." I said nonchalantly.
"Your what?" She looked really confused now.
"It's this," I said pulling out my two-way mirror, " it's called a two way mirror, they let you communicate instantly. Hold on a sec Lil." I said calmly.
" What Padfoot?" I screamed into the mirror. His face instantly appeared, shocked Lily looked at it with interest.
" Moony needs some help if you know what I mean." Oh crap it was a full moon tonight, I totally spaced it. I noticed that Lily seemed to be listening intently
" Well are you coming?" Sirius said impatiently.
" Sshh… Yeah I'll be there in a second." I said frustrated.
"Okay see you in a few." Sirius said and with a pop he was gone.
I put my mirror back into my pocket. Seeing Lily I went over to her. I looked into her beautiful face.
" I'm sorry Lily but I have to go." I said apologetically
"It's okay just go," she said smiling, " I was about to head home anyway"
"Okay thanks, see you tomorrow?"
" Yeah, see you tomorrow."
With that I sped towards the backyard looking for any sign of Sirius or Remus. To my relief a dogged was pulling at my robes.
"Okay Padfoot, hold on." I went behind some bushes. Within an instant I turned into a majestic stag, antlers standing high, the dirt in between my hoofs. I followed the dog to Remus the werewolf.
We wrestled with him until dawn, he seemed really feisty tonight, I wonder why?
A/n: Is Lily starting to warm up to James?? WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT!?! Lol…
We'll find out how she feels in the next chapter so keep those reviews coming!!!
