Chapter 11

Lily POV

The bell rang and we headed to lunch. I had so enjoyed the feel of his hand stroking my hair and his hand on mine as we sat and talked. This time, as we walked, I slipped my hand in his. He turned to face me and smiled broadly then kissed my lips. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck as he placed his hands on my waist. After a few moments, we broke apart and I blushed crimson, smiling broadly.

We sat down next to Sirius and my best friend Ashley. I put a ham and cheese sandwich on my plate and poured myself a glass of refreshing pumpkin juice.

James stared lovingly at me and I back. He was so handsome. I could drown in his hazel eyes and I just longed to run my hands through his jet-black hair. He was gorgeous. And he was mine. I sighed and cherished the thought and fact.

We couldn't take our eyes off each other and barely ate any lunch at all. Sirius took James' food and Ashley took mine.

James grabbed my hand and led me out of the Great Hall and into the corridor. He smiled at me and kissed me then, still holding my hand, led me back to our dorm.

There was a bit of comfortable silence between us but I decided to break it.

"James." I said.

"Yes Lily?" He replied.

"I meant what I said earlier."

"I know."

He was smiling his head off. God, I loved that smile. That handsome smile that could easily be mistaken for a smirk. He made me melt.

At the password, the portrait opened to admit us and he led me to the couch. Ah. The famous couch. I loved that couch. Where we had just been.

"Lily." He said, placing his hand on mine and squeezing.

"Yes?" I replied, staring into the fire, loving it's orange glow and dancing flames.

"I've always seen us as spending our lives together."

"I couldn't imagine it any other way." I replied.

I hugged him. And kissed him. Then broke off.

"Let's do something besides talk." I said, grinning.

James looked at me and nodded.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He placed his arms around my waist and deepened the kiss, pulling me on top of him so he was lying down.

I ran my hand through his hair and we pulled apart, smiling at each other.

He sat up and I was on his lap, facing him, our noses touching and his arms around my waist. We kissed again and smiled.

"I love you Lily."

I smiled back, knowing what he said was true.
