Chapter Twenty-Five: Le Epilogue
(This chapter is K)
The weeks passed by in bliss – She was mine, and I was complete.
"You're obsessed with her," Sirius spat in disgust, glaring at her from the other side of the table, which was set up for testing.
He's got a point there.
I sighed. "I'm not, okay? She just looks really pretty today."
"What?" Sirius asked in disbelief, "In the robes which she wears everyday?"
I shot him an ungrateful look, as Remus hushed us from my left.
"What?" Sirius and I asked in unison, annoyed. Ever since the start of breakfast, all the stupid kid had been doing was shushing us.
Remus frowned, "We're trying to study."
Well, isn't he always?
"Tell us when you're doing something important," Sirius sneered. "I'm busy brooding over Evans here – Can't you tell?"
"But it's N.E.W.T.s today!" Peter quipped.
I shrugged, "So?" Sirius nodded, as Peter and Remus stared at me as if I had grown a beard. Which isn't about to happen, as I shaved yesterday.
Okay, there was nothing to shave, but that can stay our little secret.
I bit my lip and narrowed my eyes. "We have to get to class in two minutes, anyway."
About half of the people around us yelped and began scanning through the textbook at warp speed.
I don't see why they're so frantic. It's not like the test decides our future or anything.
Oh, wait. Yes it does.
I gulped, grabbing a muffin. Truthfully, I wasn't at all worried about the N.E.W.T.s. I mean, come on, I've never gotten anything below an O in my life.
Sorry, ego moment.
"I have to talk to you." I looked up to see a smiling Lily. Well, actually, she looked more nervous than cheery.
I nodded and got up, taking her hand. "Sure thang."
Lily rolled her eyes and pulled me away from the table, barely giving me a chance to wave goodbye to the Marauders.
Once we were out of the Great Hall, Lily pushed me against the wall.
Well… If she wants to have a snogfest right now…
"James, are you planning a prank?" She asked firmly.
I blinked innocently. "What?"
She let go of me, putting her hands on her hips. Her very nice hips, I must add.
"Oh, don't give me that. There's two weeks of school left and I know you're planning a prank. You've already lost your stupid map, the last thing you need to lose if your privilege to go to school."
Like they're gonna expel me with two weeks of school left.
"Lils, calm down. I'm Head Boy, I won us the Quidditch cup, and I'm a top student. How can they expel me?" I asked, smiling at her.
Lily's eyes narrowed, but she heaved a sigh. "Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you."
I smiled, "I won't." Slowly, I leaned in and closed my eyes, waiting for my lips to meet her soft ones.
Instead, her hand met with my chest. Ow.
"Tests," She reminded me, whacking the side of my head. Rolling her eyes, she stepped back into the Great Hall, where we would be testing.
I leaned back against the cold wall behind me, watching her leave with a small smirk.
So, let's face it. Life isn't easy for an extremely hormonal teenage Marauder, especially one with a brain louder than Peter when we set his foot on fire for amusement last week.
But, hey, I'll manage.
A/N: Well. This is it. My baby has grown up. I can't believe I've been writing this one for so long(I know, I know, it wasn't that long), it feels like... I just wrote it yesterday. Well, there's my first multichapter fanfiction for you. I think I've improved as a writer overall through this and I loved writing it. But now... I need your help.
SEQUEL! You guys need to vote on it! Yes, or no. Keep in mind that if you do vote yes, it won't be posted until after Deathly Hallows release. Tell me in a review!
There will be a prequel, which I will start writing in mid-June.
THANKS FOR READING! Remember to review!
