"Uh...where did every one go?" James asked Lily when he finally registered the fact that they were all alone up on the astronomy tower.
Lily checked her watch and laughed, "Shit. We didn't even notice that the class is over."
"Oh," James chuckled and slung his bag over his shoulder, "Shall we go then,Miss Evans?"
"We shall,Mister Potter," Lily laughed,taking his hand. She loved doing that.
Both of them walked to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn't.
"SHIT!" James shouted, "Filch must have thought all of us were out!"
"Try Alohomora," Lily suggested,panicking.
James tried the spell but it didn't work.
"Great," Lily said,throwing her hands up in the air, "Simply amazing,"
James chuckled at her behaviour but stopped when Lily gave him a death glare. She looked so scary: Her eyes were wide and alrert and lips were in a thin line.
"James Potter,do you think this is FUNNY!?" she demanded,her face as red as her hair.
James took two steps backwards,biting his lips to keep him self from laughing. In the end he couldn't control it and burst out laughing. He was laughing so much that he fell to the thickly carpeted floor,clutching his stomach.
"Lily-the-the-look-on-on-your-FACE!!"James choked out,his hazel eyes shut tight.
And Lily couldn't help it. She joined him too. It was just so hard for her to be angry around James. He always calmed her down,like he was her own personal drug or something. He was like a nice,hot bath after a long day of labour.
Lily too dropped to the ground and sat next to James and laughed with him. James sat up and after seeing that Lily was shivering,he began to take off his coat.
"Are you crazy?!You'll freeze to death,James!" Lily protested,refusing the coat and frowning at him.
"You look like you already are," James commented,shivering.
"So do you!Put it back on,James!"Lily commanded and he finally couldn't take the cold and put it on.
"Well,what do we do?We'll freeze to death like this!I think you should put the coat on so at least our love survives Lily!" James joked,trying to sound self sacrificing.
"Oh ha ha," Lily snapped, "Lie down."
"What?" James asked,confused, "Why?"
"Just do it," Lily sighed in frustration. James could be so difficult sometimes.
Still watching Lily with wary eyes, he layed down on the carpet.
Lily lied down too and wrapped her arms around him. The effect was miraculous. Lily was completely warmed up in no time and the feeling pulsing through her made her feel like she was flying.
"Er-ehm-what are you doing?" James asked,a little uncomfortably.
"What do you think,dumbass?" Lily laughed, "I'm acting like your own personal heater."
"Oh," James blinked and then smiled radiantly. He turned around so he was facing Lily and pulled her into a hug so that both of them were warm now.
"This is weird," Lily commented.
"What is?" James asked.
"We're stuck on the roof of the tallest tower in case you havn't noticed,Jamie!" Lily chuckled.
James raised his eyebrow, "Jamie?"
"If I endure Lilypoo,you have to put up with Jamie!" Lily laughed silently.
"Well...I guess that's...UNREASONABLE!JAMIE?!"James yelled in mock horror.
Lily laughed and James joined in,they talked about random things for quite a long time and then the subject of their best friends came up.
"I know for a fact that Alison likes Remus!" Lily chuckled.
"They're both perfect for each other...shy,brainy,good looking-"
"James,something is going on between Sirius and Iris isn't it?" Lily asked suddenly.
"What?No!Of co-"
"Don't lie!I saw them kissing in the common room late at night!" Lily giggled.
"Oh my god,does Iris know that you know?" James asked.
"No,but I don't get why they're hiding it," Lily muttered.
"Yeah...well...actually,I told Iris and Sirius that I know about them and the reason they aren't telling any one right now is because Iris wants to get used to the idea," James rolled his eyes at how absurd it was.
"That's stupid," Lily said.
"Yeah," James agreed, "Lily when we go out,we wont hide it from any one."
"You wont need to cause we're never going to go out,"Lily chuckled. Even though she wanted to say yes,she loved teasing James.
And deep down inside,James knew that she would say yes.
"Honestly,Lily you'll be the death of me," James sighed.
"Really?YAY!"Lily squealed.
"You're cruel," James laughed. Then he leaned in and for one mad second Lily thought he was about to kiss her,but he went past her lips and whispered in her ear, "But I like it."
"Sure you do," Lily whispered back,slightly dazed.
James smiled and looked at her with smoldering eyes.
"I do," he whispered, "I like everything about you,Lily."
Lily smiled at that. Who WOULDN'T smile at that?!
Lily turned over to that her back was touching the ground,and she was face to face with the billions of stars in the sky. They were all so beautiful. Lily knew that there was a scientific explanantion for why the stars were up there,but she had always thought that there was something more to them than just a ball of gas burning billions of miles away.
"You know what really saddens me?" Lily said suddenly.
"What?" James asked,stroking my hair softly. Lily smiled at his gentle touch.
"When people get out of Hogwarts and start jobs,they usually fall apart....I'm afraid that that'll happen with you,me,Sirius,Iris,Remus and Alison,"Lily whispered.
James was looking at Lily with the softest and most vulnerable expression he had ever worn.
"What?" Lily asked.
Then,James said the most wonderful thing that had ever reached Lily's ears. It literally made her heart break because of how sweet it was.
"Lily,I'll follow you even when the stars go blue."
And that's when Lily Evans realized that she was madly in love with James Potter.
