Together

Lily stood there, with James, looking as uninterested as possible. She avoided his gaze and slowly edged away.

"Lily." He called over the loud music. She looked up at him. "Lily, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, what would be wrong? What would possibly be wrong…" She suddenly started crying. She felt so alone, so worried. Sev…oh Sev. She hadn't seen him since Potions. This wizard, Voldemort he was called, he would target her. Petunia, her own sister, was disgusted with her. Now she was friendless, and stuck with someone she hated.

"Lily?" He stared at her distressed face, and her trembling lips. "Lily, why do you hate me so?"

"I d..d…don't."

"Yes you do." He contradicted her gently. "Every lesson, you look away in disgust. Every time I talk to you, you mumble something about a job to do. You hate me."

"Ok then." She sighed and took deep breaths. "I guess I do."

"I was wondering why you thought that way."

"Oh, only a billion reasons! You, you, you go around hexing people! You are rude to all my friends! You're so arrogant, your head is bigger than the moon! You, you ask me out every day, and I have to suffer all my friends thinking I have a crush on you. You! Of all people." She quietened down and only sobbed gently. "You love me." She said quietly.

"Mmmm…"

"I was wondering why you thought that way." Lily said, using his words.

"Ah, yes. Well, let's just say that I find your very presence uplifting. Your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen. You make me laugh even when you try to make me cry. You look at everyone in a way that makes me think that you only hate me. You try to look for the good in everyone. Except me."

"I don't all hate you." She whispered. He raised his eyebrow. "I…I feel all jumbled. My best friend, well, you hate him. What am I do? He hates you, he says I should…hex you. But, when I see you, my heart…it does a little jump." She looked at the ground, and then up to his face. He gasped wildly and kissed her. She was excited, and scared, and a mixture of every emotion on the planet. That didn't stop her from kissing him back.

"Lily…" He whispered in her ear, she could feel his lips everywhere, on her face, on her jaw, on her collar. She could feel them on her neck. She remained kissing his lips. His tongue pushed against her bottom lip, asking for entrance to her mouth. She relinquished and felt his tongue exploring the contours of the roof. His hands were all over her hair, her face, her neck. She gasped for air but then continued.

"Yes James!" Someone called from across the room. Sirius. Damn.

"Lily! This is so cool!" Alice's voice. They now had an audience.

James' hands continued a little further down and Lily sighed. "You can stop right there." She pulled away and gave him a little smile. She looked around at the faces of her friends. Alice looked pleased, and Marlene just ecstatic. Remus and Sirius were giving James a look saying: Don't let us keep you. All four looked dishevelled, but so did Lily.

"Sooo." James said. "A triple date, anybody?"

Thanks, that's the end! Just reminding you that these characters (etc) don't belong to me, they belong to J. . I will next be writing a story about Lily's summer holidays in her sixth year! xx
