~*~* Chapter 5
Back at Hogwarts (Finally!!!) * * *
When Lily, the other Roses, and the Marauders arrived at the Hogsmede Station, they were all so happy.
"Well, then," said James, "shall we get a carriage?" Then he offered his arm to Lily and said, "Allow me to assist you to the carriage Miss Lily Flower."
He smiled, Lily giggled, and she played along. "Why thank you, kind sir."
They both looked at each other and smiled, and then their eyes locked and it seemed as though they were standing there forever.
Then they both snapped out of the trance thanks to Kristin, who said "Oy you Lovebirds! Hurry up! The carriages are leaving!"
Lily and James started heading towards the carriage, when someone roughly grabbed her arm.
Lily turned around-it was Malfoy! Oh great, Lily thought, here we go.
Come with me, Lily, you are sitting in my carriage.
"No I'm not!" said Lily who was as red as her hair. "Malfoy you git I told you to leave her alone!"
"Well, sorry, Potter but I have a problem with that. And she's not yours anyway!"
"Lily is not some piece of property!" screamed James, "You are such a pathetic little git Malfoy!"
Lily's heart melted. I think my love for James Potter just grew even more, she thought to herself. Wait a minute, LOVE? Where did that come from Lily? She thought to herself.
Just then James punched Malfoy, he grabbed Lily's hand, and they both ran to the carriage.
Even though Lily was upset about what Malfoy said, she couldn't help but laugh with James.
"What took you so long?" asked Remus, who was sitting very close to Audrey. They were all seated in the carriage.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Audrey questioned with a look of worry on her face.
"Oh, nothing," said James, "just Malfoy bothering her again."
Sirius immediately jumped up. "I'm gonna go kill that stupid git! Did he touch you, Lily?"
"Thanks, Sirius, but I'm okay," she said, "James was with me." Then she smiled as she said, "he punched Malfoy!"
"Alright!" said Kristin, "way to go, James!" "Thank you, thank you," said James, "I just won't stand anyone treating my Lily Flower like that."
Sirius, Remus, Kristin, and Audrey all looked at each other, and smiled. Lily and James didn't notice though.
They had a good ride up to the castle, talking and laughing with each other. When the carriages stopped, Lily's heart jumped.
"We're here!" she screamed. James smiled at her as if she were an angel.
They opened the doors, and each of the Marauders helped the Roses out of the carriages. They were such gentlemen.
Once they had entered the great hall, Lily had noticed many boys looking at her and smiling. James noticed this, too, and seemed a little angry by it.
Lily had noticed that many of the girls were smiling and winking at James, too, but he didn't really seem that interested.
He was staring at Lily. She noticed this and blushed.
"Sit next to me, Lily?" James asked with his go-week-at-your-knees smile. She didn't know why James wanted her to sit next to him but Lily couldn't help but smile and say yes.
He helped her in and she sat down. She had just realized how hungry she was.
Next to them sat Remus and Audrey. Sirius and Kristin sat across from them, holding hands.
Once the first years had all been sorted, Dumbledore began his speech.
"Now that the sorting is over, I would like to say welcome to all our new students and to our old ones. I must tell you first years, and remind some of you sixth years," he said looking over at the Marauders and grinning, who grinned back, "that the Forbidden Forest is-well-forbidden. There will also be a prefects meeting right after dinner. Now, let the feast we've all been waiting for begin!" He waved his hands and the food appeared.
"Aw, man!" groaned James, "Lily I don't feel like going to the Prefects meeting. Can't we just skip it?"
Lily giggled. "No, James, this is the first one silly! We have to go, sorry." She smiled at him.
"Alright, fine, you win Lily Flower!" and then they began to eat.
"I hope we have good classes this year," said Audrey. I hope it's nothing like fifth year.
"I think it'll be good this year," said Remus, "because we don't have to take O.W.L's or anything like that."
"Yeah, good point," said Kristin, "but we still have some bad teachers, like Prof Boarang for Potions, and Binns and Trewlawny, who has a habit of predicting James death 24/7."
Everyone laughed. "Well, James hasn't died, yet. I'm betting my money she's a fraud." They all agreed.
After dinner and dessert was over, Lily and James headed to the prefects meeting. When they got there, Arthur Weasley, the Head Boy, and Molly Frep, the Head Girl, were trying to hush everyone.
"Alright, guys, settle down," Arthur said. "We have just a few important things to discuss.
"Arthur and I have already picked out some Hogsmede weekends." She told them the dates and everyone agreed to those dates.
"It's not like it matters to us," James whispered in Lily's ears. "It's not like we have to wait for a Hogsmede weekend to go to Hogsmede." Lily giggled.
Last year the Marauders had showed the Roses the secret passage ways to Hogsmede and they and the Roses snuck out there late at night often together.
Malfoy, who was also a prefect, noticed James whispering to Lily and Lily giggling, and he started glaring at James. Lily and James both noticed this.
Right then as Malfoy was still watching them James put his arm around Lily's shoulder. Lily caught on and realized James was trying to make Malfoy jealous and angry. She thought this was really funny. James is so hilarious, thought Lily, he's so wonderful.
She played along and giggled at him when he did this, then gave him a kiss on the cheek and said "You're so cute!" so that Malfoy could hear.
James noticed not only Malfoy glaring at him, but some other boys were, too.
James kept his arm around Lily's shoulder for the rest of the meeting, and when it was time to leave they walked right by Lucius smiling at each other and holding hands.
Surprisingly, they held hands all the way to the portrait hole, realized they were still holding hands, let go, and then they both blushed a deep shade of red.
James was about to lead Lily into the Common Room, but Lily stopped him.
"James I wanna tell you something," she said, looking straight into his eyes. He looked right back straight into hers.
"I just really wanna thank you so much for standing up for me and protecting me when um," she had a lack of words, "when um Malfoy was being um a git."
James smiled, "Lily Flower," he said, "I will always protect you and stand up for you." Lily smiled at him and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Both their stomachs jumped when she did that. Then he led her inside.
When they entered through the Portrait Hole, they expected it to be pretty empty and quiet.
However, there was music and it looked like the fourth through seventh years were all there laughing and dancing, flirting, talking, eating- basically everything you do at a party.
Lily and James knew how this party must have been put together by two people.
"Padfoot, Moony!" James said, "Is this your doing?" James asked grinning like mad.
"Of course it is," Sirius said laughing, "who else do you think would have done this?"
"Yeah, me and Sirius thought it would be cool to throw together a little welcome home party," said Remus.
Lily laughed. "I knew I should have expected something from you two," she said grinning at them. They both returned the smile.
"Well, if you excuse me," said Sirius, "I have a girl friend to go dance with, before anyone dances with her," and he went over to Kristin and they started dancing.
Remus left, too. He went over to Audrey, and took her hand, leading her over to the dancing area.
"Well, guess that leaves you and me," James said looking at Lily. "Would you like to dance Lily my Flower?"
"You know it," said Lily. He took her hand and they started dancing. It was a fast song.
Lily was having the time of her life with James. They were really good dancing together.
Pretty soon everyone had made a circle around James and Lily, watching them and clapping. The crowd seemed to be amazed at how great they looked together.
The next fast song came and Sirius came over to Lily and James. "May I have this dance, Lily dahling?" he asked. Lily smiled and said, "of course you may."
So she told James she would be back and went to go dance with Sirius. James started dancing with Kristin, who were pretty funny together.
After a few more fast songs dancing with James, Lily was sad that the party was almost over. Sirius said this was the last song. It was a slow song. Yess!!! Lily thought to herself.
It was one of Lily's favorite songs. "May I have this dance beautiful?" James asked. Lily laughed.
"Of course you may, handsome." So he wrapped his hands around her waist and her arms around his neck.
They were very close to each other. Lily's head was on James' shoulder.
The song seemed to go on forever, and they both loved it. Lily was sad when the song finally ended.
"Well, good night, James" Lily whispered, smiling at him. "Good night Lily Flower," he said, grinning.
Lily then walked up to her dormitory into her room feeling light as a feather, with Audrey and Kristin not far behind her.
I love James Potter, Lily thought to herself. He's so perfect. He's cute, he's sweet, he's funny, smart, brave. I really hope he'll like me this year.
Little did she know, as James was walking up to his dormitory, the same thoughts were running through his mind.
And when he went to bed, he had one thing on his mind-Lily Evans.
