Chapter 9: Love Love Love
"James, I have to tell you something…." Said Lily looking into James' eyes.
"Well….I've been meaning to say this for awhile but……"
"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans, I'm sorry to interrupt but there is an important matter I wish to discuss with you both." Said Professor Dumbledore stepping through the portrait hole.
James and Lily looked at each other and quickly scrambled off the couch, very embarrassed to have been caught by a professor.
"Yes, of course Professor. What can we do for you?" said James
"If you two would just follow me to my office I will explain there." Said Professor Dumbledore.
Lily and James followed Professor Dumbledore as he quickly walked down the corridors until they reached the entrance to his office.
"Lemon drop" said Dumbledore
Professor Dumbledore led Lily and James into his office and sat down behind his desk. "Ms. Evans, Mister Potter. What I am about to say to you must not leave this office. Is that clear?"
"Yes, sir." Said Lily
"Yes, Professor." Said James.
"As you both know, there has been much unrest in the wizarding world as well as the muggle world. I'm sure that you've heard of a number of killings by a man called Lord Voldemort. What you don't know, is that he was once a student at this school. He went by the name of Tom Riddle. I believe that he is going to be much more active in his hatred of muggles, muggleborns, and those he thinks are traitors." Said Professor Dumbledore
"What does this have to do with us, sir?" asked James
"Well James, I am starting a team of some sorts, to fight Lord Voldemort and his followers called the Order of the Phoenix." Replied Professor Dumbledore.
"What about the Aurors? Isn't it there job to fight?" said Lily.
"Yes it is, but sometimes even Aurors need help. I am afraid that maybe the Ministry of Magic wont take Lord Voldemort seriously right away. It might be too late by then."
"What do you want us to do?" asked James.
"I would like you both to join the Order when you finish school. Yes, I know it will be dangerous, and I will understand if you turn me down. You don't have to decide now, you can tell me when you are ready." Said Dumbledore.
"But why us?" asked James.
"You two are the top students in your year. I think you both would excellent contributions to our team."
"Ummm….Thank you Professor…." Said Lily
"Make sure to go directly back to your common room, as it's after hours." Said Professor Dumbledore.
"Ok, thank you again." And with that Lily and James left.
"Ohhh, Lily and James? Don't tell anyone about this. I am sure that there are some untrustworthy people that want to know about the Order of the Phoenix."
James and Lily walked down the long corridors that led to their dormitory. They were silent until James exclaimed "Wow!! I am stunned. I don't even know what to think."
"I know. I can't believe it. He asked us to join." Said an awed Lily. "What are you going to do?"
"Well join of course! What do you think?" said James.
"Yeah. I am pretty sure I want to join too." Said Lily. "But its so dangerous…..so I just don't know."
"I know Lily, I know….but I just don't want to live life knowing I could help fight but I'm not." Said James trailing off looking at a painting on the wall.
"Yeah, but its going to be so dangerous….." said Lily "But I think I'm going to do it too." Lily continued walking not realizing James had stopped. "Is there something wrong James?" Lily looked back and James was gone. "Where did he go?" Lily asked herself. Lily walked back and looked around, trying to find James. "James. James? Where did you go?"
"Lily, Lily over here!" said James sticking his head out of a portrait.
"James! What are you doing in there? What is that?" asked Lily
"Well come on in and I'll show you!" said James stepping aside so Lily could climb in.
As soon as Lily walked in side she looked around and said "This is it?" There wasn't much in there. It kind of like……a broom closet. "A broom closet James? Very romantic."
"Well technically its not a broom closet….it's a….random room in a portrait?" said James
"Nice James….real nice…." Said Lily sarcastically. "You could try being a bit more romantic you know…" James moved in a started kissing Lily on the neck. Lily bent her neck a bit to give him more access. James continued to kiss down Lily's neck, nipping gently around her collarbone. James backed Lily against the wall and they began to kiss. At first it started off kind of heavy but they slowed down and it became more loving.
"Lily…." Said James. "I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."
"James, you don't have to worry about that. We're safe, we're together." Said Lily still wrapped in James' arms.
"But when we leave Hogwarts, we're going into the real world. And now we're going to join the Order of the Phoenix……" said James.
"But James, it's just like you said. I don't want to go through life knowing that I could have helped." Said Lily.
"It's just I love you so much Lily. I really do." Said James.
"James….." said Lily trailing off
"Lily, don't worry. I know we're only been dating a little bit and your probably not reading. You might not ever be ready. Who knows? So don't worry about it. You don't have to say anything at all." Said James rambling.
Lily put her hand over James' mouth "Wait, James wait!! Stop talking."
James who had been talking avidly just stared at Lily. "James, I don't have to wait. I know that I love you now." Said Lily shyly looking away.
James just looked at Lily in shock. "Really?" asked James setting Lily in front of him so he could get a good look at her.
"Really." Said Lily putting her hand on James' check. "At first I wasn't sure. But then I realized that you make me happier than I've ever been before."
James had a huge smile on his face before he pulled Lily in for a passionate kiss. He moved in to deepen the kiss, but before he could Lily pushed him against the wall and began to kiss James like she had never before. James could honestly say that it was one of the most passionate kisses of his life. Not because it was all tongues and fast kissing, but because of all the emotions he could feel from Lily. It was a different type of kiss than before. James reversed their positions and had Lily against the wall. He moved from her lips over to her ear and gently nipped at the lobe. Lily moaned a little before nipping back at James. Lily started to smile before she looked into James eyes.
"What is it?" asked James
"Nothing." Said Lily shaking her head. "Its just….I can't believe we're finally here….together…."
"Yeah….I thought you'd never agree to go out with me!" said James
"Well….to tell you the truth….I only went with you because I want to see if the rumor was true…." Said Lily slyly.
"What rumor?" asked James surprised
"Ohhh I don't know…it might have had something to do with your kissing abilities….." said Lily trailing off.
"Ohhh….Everyone was saying what an amazing kisser I was, huh?" said James smugly.
"No….they said………. that you were an awful kisser!!" said Lily before she ran out the portrait hole.
"Lily! Come back here!" yelled James as he ran after Lily. "Oooff!!" said James as he ran into Lily's back.
"Well, well, well….what do we have here?"
