Chapter 12
Lily POV
It was finally July the twenty-ninth, the day I went to James' house. I had all my bags packed and ready to go. It was eleven o'clock in the morning and my mom was making me eat breakfast.
"You need to eat, you are going to have a long day and I don't know if you are going to be eating a lot while you are around all those boys." She winked at me.
"Mom!"
"I am told that you and this James Potter have a little 'thing' going on, is that true?" She tried to make conversation.
"Where did you hear that from?" I was curious how she had connection to the wizard world because I certainly didn't tell her that. "But, no we don't." I said sadly. She just ignored me, I'm used to that with my family.
After I finally ate my breakfast my mom brought me to James' house. I wasn't the only one there, luckily. Sirius was already there and so was Remus, Alice and Frank were also there. My mom and James' mom started talking and James' dad took my bag to a room. His house was gigantic. There had to be at least seven bedrooms and at least twenty rooms.
"Do you want a tour?" James asked me. I nodded and he told Sirius and Remus he would be right back.
" How has your summer been?" He asked as we walked down the long hallway to his bedroom.
"It's been good, I guess. Normal summer for a muggle-born with parents who are half interested until your muggle sister comes in and ruins it. Petunias dating this whale kid named Vernon Dursley and he acts like I'm just a piece of dirt on his shoes every time I see him or he sees me." I said with my head down.
He picked up my chin with his hand. "Trust me, you mean so much to me." He said. That sparkle was starting to glow in his eyes. God, he was so bloody cute. He started to lean in. What is he doing? Oh crap! I'm starting to lean in too, we are really close now. Ugh, I cant let this happen. I coughed and backed up.
"Um, is your room close to here?" I asked awkwardly.
"Uh, yeah just around the corner." He said shocked.
We got into his room and I looked around. The ceiling was very high and he had a big bed. His family obviously had a lot of money. His room was a baby blue. It looked like, just from looking at his room, that whenever James was around his family he was a little perfect angel.
"Hey , can we talk?" He asked closing his door and brushing his hand through his hair. I nodded. "We haven't been able to talk about this sense it happened, but what was that fight with you and Mary about."
"Oh, that. I, um, it was exactly how it sounded." I said, I could feel my cheeks turning red.
"So, you fancy me?" He asked.
"Erm, well, yeah." I said turning my head.
He grabbed my head with his hand again.
"Then why wont you go out with me?"
"I just can't." I said shaking my head.
"Will you after this?" Before I could object to anything he leaned down to kiss me. It was amazing. I could his tongue trace my lips. I ran my hand though his hair. It was so soft, no wonder her plays with it all the time. He had put his arms around my waist. I opened up my eyes and let go of him.
"Th-that was amazing." I said surprised.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" He said smiling.
"I don't know, I just never imagined it would be so great." I said laughing.
"My parents are leaving today and are supposed to be gone by now, do u want to go downstairs?" He asked.
"Wait, James? Please, don't tell anyone we kissed, Okay?" He nodded and we went downstairs to where everyone was.
"Where were you guys?" Marlene and Sirius asked at the same time.
"Oh, um, James was just showing me around his house."
"Well, er, do you want to play Never Have I Ever?" Sirius asked.
"Padfoot…" James said warningly.
"Come on, Prongs, don't be a party pooper and your parents wont be home for three days, we will be fine by then." Sirius whined.
"What is that games, I've never heard of it." I said.
"Ugh, fine, well its where everyone has a bottle of muggle beer—but sense we are only fourteen!" James said getting in Sirius' face. "We are going to play with soda—anyways, for example I would say 'Never have I ever eaten three pieces of pizza in one sitting' and who ever has would take a sip of their beer, in this case soda, the first person who takes a sip would go next, if no one takes a sip then the person to the right of the person who just went goes. Got it?" James explained. We all nodded and gathered around and sat in a circle. James went to get a soda for everyone. I looked around to see Marlene, Mary, Alice, Frank, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Amos, and James would sit next to me. When James got back he handed everyone a soda and sat down nest to me.
"I'll go first," Sirius volunteered. "Ok, er, never have I ever broken my leg."
James took a sip. "Of course you would take a sip." I said. Everyone laughed.
"Okay, um, never have I ever broken a broom stick." James said smiling. Peter took a sip.
"Uh, never have I ever said 'I hate you' to my mom." Peter said nervously. Remus and Sirius took a sip but Sirius was first.
"okay, lets get a little more embarrassing. Never have I ever said a swear loud enough in front of a teacher for them to hear it." Remus started laughing and took a sip.
"Remus!" I yelled.
"Haha, sorry, Lily. Um, never have I ever kissed anyone at this table." Remus said looking around. Immediately Sirius and Marlene took a sip. I looked at both of them wide eyed. Then James did something unexpected; He went and picked up his can, I looked at him and warning him with his eyes. He looked back at me pleading, I gave in and he took a sip and so did I. Everyone looked at us, open mouthed.
"B-b-but wh-what h-h-how?" Sirius stuttered.
"Well, um lets move on to a different game, shall we?" I said.
"How about spin the bottle." Sirius said eagerly. He went and got a bottle. He spun it once and it landed on Remus.
"Oh, bloody hell." Remus said shaking his head. Sirius spun it again and it landed on Mary. Mary squinted her eyes and leaned into Remus and they started kissing. At first it looked like they were not enjoying it then after a couple seconds they started snogging.
"Ok, ok, break it up you two, you can do this later." James got up and separated them. We spun it again; it landed on Sirius, the nest spin landed on Marlene and they started snogging too. After they finally let go of each other Remus spun the bottle and it landed on James. My heart started pounding. I didn't want him to kiss any other girl but then I also didn't want to lose control if we did kiss. Remus spun it again and of course it landed on me. I turned to James and I looked at him in the eyes. He had excitement in them. I leaned forward and for the second time today I found myself kissing James Potter, the kid I have fancied sense I first laid eyes on him.
