I do not own Harry Potter.
Alice dragged her to the Gyffindor common room, and after saying hi to Frank, who also looked happy, up to the girl dormitory. Dorcas, Mary, Marlene, and Emmeline were sitting in there, waiting patiently.
"Finally!" Dorcas greeted them.
" Alice are you going to tell us?" Emmaline asked.
" Okay. Well, you know how I had a date with Frank?"
"Yes." The girls chimed.
" Well he proposed!"
The girls congratulated her. Each girl gave Alice a hug excitedly, and then left, leaving Alice and Lily alone.
"Congrads, Ali." Lily said warmly.
" Thanks Lily. Will you be my maid of honor?" Alice asked.
Lily nodded, and then Alice launched into all the details of how he proposed, leaving Lily to think of James.
James ran his hand through his hair angrily, as he sat on his bed. He took out his two way mirror, and said softly, " Padfoot."
Sirius appeared in the mirror, surprised. "Aren't you susposed to be talking to Lily? "
"I am, but Alice had horrible timing and came to get her to tell her some big news."
" Ah, I heard that she had big news. Lily is her best friend."
" What is the news?"
" Frank proposed to her on their date. "
James nodded. " That means she'll be in the Gryffindor tower."
"Do you want me to go wait down it the common room?"
" Yes. I'll be there in a bit."
James pocketed the mirror and jumped off his bed. He ran out the door and down the stairs. He swung the potrait open.
Lily started down the steps that led to the girls dormitory, thinking about James. She neared the end of the steps when she realized that James was right in front of her. She jumped backwards, almost falling. James caught her.
" James!" Lily said in surprise.
James picked her up. "Uh, Lily we need to talk. "
Lily sighed. There was no way she could get out of it now. Lily nodded and put her head on his shoulder. James easily opened the portrait and stepped out. He set Lily on the ground after the portrait closed. James grabbed her arm and pulled her through the hallway.
"James." Lily pleaded.
James didn't say anything, just tightened his grip.
" James!" Lily pleaded, a little pain in her voice.
James tightened his grip.
Lily winced. "James!" She wailed.
James stopped, as if he had just heard her. He turned around slowly.
Lily could tell he had a mixture of many feelings going through him.
" James, I promise I will talk to you. Just let go." Lily pleaded.
James shook his head. " I don't think we can do that. A broken promise is what got us into this mess."
Lily looked lost, than tried to pull out of his grasp. James was taken by surprise and Lily managed to get away easily. Lily backed away slowly her eyes watching James. James sighed.
" Lily, what if I carried you?"
Lily nodded, and approached him slowly. James stepped forward and picked her up. Lily rested her head on his shoulder again. James started walking again and he reached the Head's Dorm in no time. James gave the password, and stepped in . Lily jumped down and walked over to the couch and sat down, and James joined her.
Lily took a deep breath.
" I'm ready." Lily whispered.
