Italics, Lily's Thoughts
Bold Italics, James' Thoughts
Katie!
'Bambi, wake up!' Sirius shouted, Lily muttered something undistinguishable from underneath her bed covers and remained hidden under them. 'Lily!' Sirius shouted again this time hitting Lily over the head with his pillow 'get up!'
'NO.' Lily protested from under her bed covers, 'I'm not- Ahhh, Sirius! Get OFF me!' she screamed because at that moment Sirius had jumped on Lily in an attempt to wake her up. 'Fine. I'm awake, happy now?' she asked Sirius, he smiled enthusiastically at her
'Delighted!' he replied, Lily turned over to look at the alarm clock and saw that it was already half seven. She groaned and accepted the fact that she actually would have to get up if she wanted to get to class on time.
Once she had climbed out of her bed, Lily noticed that James was absent,
'Where's James?' she asked the boys, Sirius threw a glance to Remus and turned his head, smirking, back to Lily. Lily was momentarily confused then put two and two together, 'You told him?' Lily asked Remus
'Hey! What do you mean him?' Sirius interjected, Lily rolled her eyes and kept her gaze fixed on Remus,
'Yeah Lils, I did tell him,' he replied
'Why?' she asked confused
'Thought he ought to know,' Remus smirked.
'Meaning?' asked Lily,
'I think you know what it means Bambi,' Remus said raising his eyebrows at her
'You and James are going to get married, be disgustingly happy and have disgustingly cute babies!' Sirius concluded in a sing song voice, again Lily rolled her eyes at him, but even she couldn't keep the smirk off her face. Sirius noticed this and grinned even wider,
'Shut up Sirius.' Lily said as he playfully punched him in the arm,
'I didn't say anything!' Sirius said innocently, 'anyway to answer your earlier question, James is in the shower.'
Lily nodded her head and when to collect her things ready to get changed when James came out of the bathroom. Minutes later James emerged from the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel around his mid-section, hair dripping wet and falling into his eyes. Lily looked up and caught site of his bare chest, which was tanned and extremely well defined due to all the Quidditch practise that he did, causing a deep red blush to creep up her neck onto her cheeks,
'Jeez Evans, blush much?' Sirius teased, Lily threw Sirius a look that could've killed. James smiled cockily at Lily, who's face was still bright red, and made her way into the bathroom as fast as she could.
When she was safely behind the bathroom door and it was bolted shut, Lily exhaled the deep breathe which she hadn't realised she'd been holding in. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and noted her red her cheeks were,
Come on Lily, pull yourself together! It's only James Potter, big-headed, arrogant, cute James Potter. Wait, cute? Oh God...
Lily thought to herself as she slid down the door and sat on the floor with her head in her hands. She quickly changed out of her pyjamas and into her school clothes, ran a brush through her hair, tied it up in a messy bun near the top of her head and applied a little lash lengthening to her eyelashes and shine stunner to her lips before unbolting the door and returning into the dorm to find only James in it.
'Where's everyone else?' Lily asked him, he looked up at her and smiled,
'Well, Sirius is away chasing after Marlene, Remus is away to find some chocolate and Peter is probably running around after them.' James told her still smiling. Lily nodded her head and returned her things to the drawer beside her bed,
'About last night...' Lily began 'I'm really sorry, I... I don't know what came over me. I...'
'Lily, you don't have to explain to me, I get it. Really, it's fine.' He smiled reassuringly at her, but Lily wasn't convinced,
'No, James it's not fine. I don't know why I did it –' Lily started but James cut her off
'Wait, which bit are we talking about here?' he asked her
'What do you mean?'
'Lily, you know perfectly well what I mean, what is it that you're sorry for?' Lily looked down at her feet and shuffled nervously not answering the question 'Lily...'
'I, I'm not sure,' she finally answered not taking her eyes off the floor. He walked over to her tilted her chin up with his fingers so she was looking him directly in the eyes, Lily felt her heartbeat increase rapidly and her skin tingled where his hand was.
'Yes you do, just tell me. Are you sorry that Snape stopped us, or that it almost happened in the first place?' Lily lowered her eyes, returning her gaze to the floor but still refused to answer the question, James knew what this meant and instantly dropped his hand from Lily's chin. Lily heard James' feet move and then the door slam, indicating that he had stormed out of the room and that Lily had obviously given the wrong answer to his question. The backs of her eyes stung with tears threatening to spill over the surface at any moment, she slid down onto her bed and felt for the t-shirt that James had given her when Sirius had stolen all her clothes and she had nothing to wear. It smelt like James, and this time Lily was unable to keep the tears from spilling over out her eyes.
I know this is long overdue and I'm really sorry, view my profile if you want to know why it's taken so long. I hope you liked it and promise to have another one up at some point today (finger crossed anyway!) Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions or questions don't hesitate to send me a message or something.
Katie!
