Chained for life
Chapter 9
Thanks for all those who have been reviewing! It means heaps :D
The next week passed and Lily and James were becoming friends. Everyone at Hogwarts was noticing the change. Lily was starting to see James in a new light and James's feelings towards Lily was growing evermore.
Lily and James were sitting in the heads common room, as they did every night, doing homework. Lily was just putting her finishing touches to her homework
"Lily, do you realise you haven't said anything particularly harsh to me?" James said all of the sudden. Lily looked up at James's eyes. She couldn't help but smile. He was defiantly starting to grow on her. the little things that got her annoyed before she just laughed at and when he made a comment about how she likes to read or study or do to much work so often she just shook her head and didn't take offence or bit back.
"That's not true! Just today I told you you needed to deflate that rather large head of yours still." Lily said then knocking on his head playfully. James just grinned at her. he really liked the friendship that had grown between the two. When people laughed at their chained hands or made jokes they just stood with each other, they needed each others support if they actually wanted to live through their last year at school without wanting to throw themselves off a cliff.
"Yes but that you didn't mean" James said lifting an eyebrow.
"Oh I defiantly did" Lily said a hint of a challenge. James lifted both his eyebrows.
"Is that a challenge oh fiery one?" James said with a smirk. Lily smiled at the nick name. She decided she liked them.
"It's whatever you want it to be." Lily said with a grin. James shook his head at Lily's antics.
"Well I have something against you." James said with a grin that had slid off Lily's face.
"What?" Lily said with wide eyes. James leant very close to Lily and whispered in her ear
"I'll show you." Before Lily could think about the shivers that had been sent down her spine James had started tickling her. Lily burst out laughing and fell of the couch James, being prepared for this he put his arm down so to be still sitting on the couch, laughed at Lily covering her tummy with her hands and mock glaring at James. James laughed and jumped off the couch and started tickling her again. Lily took James off guard and pushed him over and sat on his stomach.
"Ha! You can't move now can you!" Lily said triumphantly. James raised an eyebrow at her and then looked at her small body. He smirked. Quickly he picked Lily up and dumped her on the ground and sat on top of her.
"Sorry what was that last comment you made Lily?" James asked innocently. Lily crossed her arms and looked away from James. Lily couldn't take it she started laughing and then James started laughing and slid off her and lay next to her. This is how Lizzie and Sirius found them when they walked into the heads common room; James had regretfully given Sirius the password. Sirius smirked at the two and Lizzie just raised an eyebrow.
"You think the chain should come off now?" Lizzie said to Sirius. Sirius looked at Lizzie and nodded.
"Hello lovebirds." Sirius greeted Lily and James who had just noticed their presence.
"I really regret giving you the password padfoot" James said and he pulled himself into a sitting position. Lily grinned.
"Hey Sirius, Lizzie. Hey, how come you two always come together when you see us?" Lily asked.
"Well we both sort of lost out best friends being your always together but no worries its all about to change." Lizzie said brightly. Lily looked confused. Lizzie rolled her eyes
"We, Sirius and I, have decided to take the chain off." Lizzie said with a large smile on her face. As Lizzie was jumping up and down she didn't see the disappointment cross her face.
"That's…great" Lily said. Lily looked to James to see his downcast face suddenly reappear with a fake grin that Lily could see right through.
"Yeah its great guys. Well you going to take it off or just jump up and down like idiots?" James said through a laugh, a rather fake laugh in Lily's opinion.
"Yep here alohomora" Sirius said with a smirk. Lily jumped up her eyes wide.
"Alohomora!!! That's all I had to say! Alohomora! You have to be kidding me!" Lily said. James rolled his eyes.
"Calm down Lils, it doesn't really matter." James said putting an arm around her. Lily glared at Lizzie and Sirius who were smirking at both James and Lily.
"Im going to bed." Lily said suddenly heading for James's room.
"Ah Lily you can now sleep in your room remember?" James said kindly. Lily stopped and shook her head and turned towards her room that she had never used.
"Sorry just elapse of memory." Lily said and closed her door. James watched Lily go and then realised how tired he actually was.
"Hey guys I think I'll go to bed also, you no the way out." James said as he headed for his room. Lizzie looked at Sirius and met his eyes.
"You would think we had just told them their families died." Lizzie said
"They really did not seem happy." Sirius said with a smirk. "Quite ironic actually"
"Wow Sirius where did you learn a word like ironic…I would have thought it to smart a word for you" Lizzie said teasingly as they made their way back to their common room.
"Sod off" Sirius said giving Lizzie a mock glare.
"Can you ever be serious…Sirius?" Lizzie said with a smile.
"I try and not be because of my name" Sirius said with a shrug.
"well maybe you should try it some time" Lizzie said with a shrug also "well im off to bed so think about it okay?" Lizzie said to Sirius and started to climb the stairs leading to her bedroom.
"For you I will" Sirius whispered to himself as he walked the other direction not realizing that Lizzie heard everything he said.

Lily was trying to get to sleep but she found the bed to big and to cold, she could not get to sleep. Lily looked at the clock and groaned, it had been a whole hour since she had gotten into bed. Lily let out a sigh and got out of bed and walked out of her room over to James's. She opened the door quietly and peered in. She walked towards his bed and watched him. She then noticed James wasn't on the part of the bed she usually slept on James was sleeping around. Lily smiled and couldn't help but crawl into the bed. She snuggled into James but jumped when his hands snaked themselves around her waste.
"I was wondering if you might come in." said a deep voice from behind her. Lily let out a breath.
"I couldn't sleep" Lily said as she turned around so she was face to face with him "as much as I hate to admit it…I don't think I can sleep without you there anymore, I have just gotten use to it" Lily said while feeling her face heat up. Lily thanked the heavens that it was night. James leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Neither could I" James said sending shivers down her spine.
"Do you mind if we just keep sleeping in her anyway?" Lily asked hopefully. Lily felt James grin.
"I wouldn't have it any other way." James said. Lily reached up and pecked him on the check. Then Lily laughed.
"Who would have thought ay, James that I, Lily Evans, actually came and WANTED to sleep with you?" Lily suddenly stopped laughing and blushed. It was James's turn to laugh.
"Oh my little fire ball. You just can't help but embarrass yourself can you?" James said with a smile.
"Ah James what would I do without you?" Lily said.
"Nothing, you wouldn't be able to live without me." James said with a smirk.
"so your going to live with me even with im married and have kids ay James?" Lily said as she raised an eyebrow.
"Oh but what if I'm the one your married to then Lils?" James said then realised what he said but before he could correct his mistake Lily laughed.
"Mhmm sure James sure, what a great husband you would make." Lily yawned and then turned around and snuggled into James soon then you could say Quidditch Lily was asleep. James couldn't help but wish he would be the lucky guy that got to spend the rest of his life with Lily. he loved Lily with all his heart, he didn't think anyone else could fit in there. James sighed, maybe he should ask her out again and see what she would say? James fell asleep thinking about whether or not to ask Lily. What would she say? Yes? No? would she hit him? Or worse would their friendship end?
