Chapter 10: The Night's Her Night

After Lily got done unpacking, and searching through her room and bathroom, that thankfully had no rubber duck in it, she decided to go downstairs and get some food. As soon as she stepped out of her door, she looked left and right down the hallway, both were long and heaven forbid, she didn't remember which way they came from. In her head, she remembered that James told her that anytime she needed something, she was to go to him.

"I can do this myself!" Lily said stubbornly and in her head she did eny-meany and the right side one so she started down the hall. After a bit she reached a fork in the road and decided to take a left but reached a dead end and went back to take the right, which lead to another right, then a left, a right, and then finally nothing, another dead end. Lily became distraught and turned back around to go back when she realized…she didn't know where the hell she was! Lily began to freak going which ever way she could and running into many more dead ends and finally just fell where she was.

"I'm going to die in this house, lost, it will take weeks for someone to find me." Lily said dramatically, while beating the back of her head against the door she leaned upon.

"No you're not." James said looking at her, while was still beating her head.

"Yes, I-, "Lily started and looked up to see James, who was smirking at her. "Boy am I glad to see you." Lily smiled at James and stood up.

"Why didn't you come get me? I could have taken you where ever you needed." He asked her.

"I didn't wan to disturb you and I wanted to find the kitchen myself." Lily said trying to save her dignity, or at least what she had left of it.

James laughed then lifted her off her feet. "Come on Miss Prideful, I'll take you to the kitchen."

It turned out that if she had taken the left in the beginning and then a right, she would have been on the staircase downstairs. Once they entered the room, Lily realized exactly why James sneaked down there when the elves slept, every elf stopped what they were doing to serve them.

"Lily is hungry, and so am I. By any chance is dinner done, Twinkle?" James asked an elf, who was obviously a girl.

"Oh yes, Master James, Twinkle is going to be placing dinner down right now, sir." Twinkle said, with a sparkle in her eye that her master called upon her.

"Thank you Twinkle," James said then turned to another. "Bitsy, Lily is our guest and I hope you will help her around, won't you Bitsy?"

"Yes James, Bitsy will." The elf said. Obviously Bitsy was a elf that served him since childhood, and was better at grammar then the rest of the elves.

"Thank you Bitsy." James said gratefully, and then turned to the dinning table that was placed in the kitchen. "We wouldn't want to eat in the formal dinning room, the table is so long, we wouldn't be able to hear eachother." He said with a smile. Lily sat down across from him and just looked at him, he was so at peace here, the atmosphere was just right for him, like he will always belong here, even if he was wearing rags and was covered in filth.

"I've never taken a girl into the kitchen before." James said suddenly, "They were never interested enough to go in here. They always wanted to 'check out my bedroom'." James rolled his eyes.

'So other girls have been here…why haven't I?' Lily thought, making herself upset, 'I can't think like this, it was his decision and he chose not to bring me here, so cheer up Lily!'

James looked at Lily as she made an upset face, then tried to cheer up, but was miserably failing. She looked like she was having a discussion with herself.

"Lily, are you alright?" James asked.

"Yes, so who all girls did you bring?" Lily asked and in her head she hoped he got the hint.

"Well, Sarah Bones, Tracey Macbeth, Elizabeth Mumpower, a strange girl named Violet, oh I can't remember her name, but she was the daughter of a business partner of my father's and had a big crush on me, and…" Just then James got what she meant when he looked at her and she looked even more upset. "Lily, I didn't bring you here for a reason. Is that what you're upset about?"

"I'm not upset."

"Lily, those girls came over to settle my mum's heart, to show her I was dating. They didn't mean anything to me, you did. If I brought you here and had you meet my parents, they would have thought of you as just another girl, I wanted you to be special. I told my parents about us, in every letter I wrote them, and they knew." James told her softly, that broke her heart in the best way possible.

Lily fluttered her hands and started straightening her forks and a knife, "Oh," was all she said.

James smiled at her reaction, who would have thought that watching someone tremble would be so alluring.

They went through a normal dinner conversation and eat with no difficulty. When dinner was over, James invited her to walk along the gardens with him, which she gladly accepted.

When they set out to walk along the gardens he watched her eyes go from plain to romantic, her body go from its normal pose to willowy and noticed that the night was for her. James also noticed how much she had changed in two years, though her body was much the same, to his surprise, she was more relaxed with her body figure and showed it off in a delicate way, She was no longer as soft spoken as she was before, in school, she was proud of herself which made her stand out, but no matter what, to him she will always be his Lily.

Lily looked over to James and noticed he was looking intently at her, in a way she couldn't recognize. 'What did she have something on her face, on her nose?' she thought in a frightened way and began to wipe her nose.

James looked saw Lily wipe her nose, 'Did he have something on his nose?' he wondered and also wiped his nose.

'Oh God.' She thought then wiped the other side, which made him also try the other side. Lily wiped her cheek thinking maybe he meant that she had it on her face, and he wiped his other cheek. She wiped all over her face recklessly, which finally got on James' nerves.

"Okay, I know I can be a messy eater but I'm not that messy!" James said loudly, which made Lily worry more thinking he meant that she was really dirty.

"Well if you'd tell me where to wipe, I'd get if off and you wouldn't have to worry!" Lily said and stomped off.

Lily called for Bitsy and asked her to lead her to her room.

When Lily was in her room, she ran to her bathroom, not even bothering to look in the mirror, too scared to find out where the spot was, and turned on the water and jumped in.

"AH COLD!" She screamed and switched the water fast to hot, and grabbed her body wash and began to scrub. Soon she was absorbed in the shower and began to take her time and never noticed that the shower stall was see through and that the fact that her water was warm so it didn't cloud the glass, but she didn't care, no one was going to interrupt her.

James, quickly fled to the nearest mirror and looked, there was nothing on his face in his teeth or up his nose.

Just as confused as ever, James ran to her room and knocked, but there was no answer so he entered and saw the bathroom door open and walked over to talk to her.

"Lily, I think there was a mis-," James started but stopped when he saw exactly what Lily was doing, then suddenly thanked Merlin that the shower stall also had a silencing charm placed on it so no one could hear in the shower or out of the shower.

Lily was washing her hair, when James entered and when she was done rinsing her hair, and started to look for her face wash, she realized it was on the counter, and turned to open the door and get her face wash, once she got it she went back into the shower and washed her face. After the shower she got out and did her normal stuff, before walking out into her bedroom to see James laying there, reading a book, on her bed.

James looked up. "Nice towel." Was all he said and she stomped over, so angry that she forgot about her towel and it dropped to the floor. "Nice body." James added afterwards.

Lily screamed out in humiliation and quickly wrapped her self up. James looked at her. Then gently placed his book flat down on the bed, before standing up and walking over to her.

"You're blushing," was all he said as he leaned down and placed his lips on hers. The kiss at first was soft, like a whisper or a feather on her lips. Then as he placed more, he became more demanding, his tongue running across her lips then as she opened her mouth, he slipped inside and began to search through her mouth.

His hand seemed like they had a mind of there on, running across the towel and claiming her breasts with one hand the other searching down every curve and pulling her closer.

Lily couldn't claim she was being little miss innocent, she had needs and desires as every female did, but never like this. She knew his kisses and knew when they kissed again he wouldn't be soft and romantic. James picked her up and pushed her against the nearest wall, her legs entwined around his waist as her back hit and a pain went through her spine, but that kiss was so sweet she could have cared less. His hands became rough and began to bruise her body; suddenly James realized this and stopped. He looked at her arms where they began to form little bruises, and the look in her eyes was as though she was frightened and aroused at the same time.

"I'm-I'm sorry, I'm sorry." James said, before letting her down, then running to his room, a safe house to him, and locking himself in so he couldn't hurt her even more.
