Lily stirred. She had been having the most lovely dream. It was another of her girlish ones, something about being a beautiful fairy and meeting a handsome stag. As the sun shown through the curtains, Lily opened one eye, closed it, and then opened both. She felt cozy and warm. She stretched herself out like a cat, making James shift beneath her. She glanced down, and felt sorry for upsetting him. James, however, had his eyes open and was looking right back at her. He smiled, sleepily.
"Hey precious. Have a nice night?" He leaned up on his arm and kissed her lips softly.
Lily grinned and laid back down, her head on his chest.
"Best ever. And yourself?"
Lily ran her fingers lightly up and down his chest.
"Did you know that you talk during your sleep?" He asked.
Lily blushed and nodded.
"And supposedly I kick too."
"Well, I didn't feel any kicks, but I defiantly heard you. You were saying something about a magical penny. Care to explain?" He said, teasingly.
"No, I don't," she snapped, then smiled, "Just joking."
He smiled, but didn't respond. Instead he closed his eyes and let his hand fall back onto the pillows. Lily stifled a giggle and glanced over at her wizarding clock, which now said in swirly purple letters "Get your ass out of bed you fool," while the numbers read 9:59.
"Shit!" Lily squealed and threw the blankets off of her.
James moaned and opened his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"Look at the time! Breakfast is over! We're late for class!"
James glanced, nonchalantly, over at the clock. He shrugged.
"So?"
"So? SO?" Lily shrieked. "We're late!"
"Lily, I'm Head Boy and you're Head Girl. No one cares, they'll just think we're at a meeting, or something. Come on, get back into bed and keep me warm, again. I'm all cold now," James whined.
Lily shook her head and stepped back.
"No thank you. I would rather keep my Head Girl badge. So why you continue to slack off and stay in bed, I think I'll get to class."
She let out a little "humph" and walked over to her mirror, where she picked up he brush and tired to straighten her hair out. James raised his eyebrows and a mischievous grin appeared on his face. He snuggled back into the blankets and let out a moan.
"God, it's so," he moaned, "so warm and cozy."
He peeked in Lily's direction who was ignoring him. He continued.
"Mmm. It's like heaven, all warm and toasty, with the sun coming through that window."
He glanced over at Lily again, who, he was pleased to know, was having great difficulty concentrating on brushing her hair.
"I just think I'll stay here forever, because it's just way to nice and comfy to-"
"Oh shut up!"
Lily's squeal interrupted him. He opened his eyes and looked over at her. Instead of sitting at her mirror, she was climbing back into bed and snuggling under the covers next to him. He grinned.
"Jerk, teasing me like that. If we get in trouble, I'm telling the professors that you kidnapped me." Lily threatened.
James circled his arms around her waist and pulled her close. He nodded at her last bit, not really paying attention to her warning.
"Sure, Lily-Billy."
She smacked his arm, playfully.
"And don't call me that."
"Uh-huh," he said, ignoring her comment.
"Don't you uh-huh me you-"
James' kiss interrupted her.
---------------------------------------------
Lily and James spent the rest of the morning in bed, skipping all of their morning classes, "Which will never happen again!" Lily had stated. They did, however, join the rest of their friends at lunch.
"And just where have you two been the whole morning?" Summer asked, eyebrows raised.
"In bed," James answered, nonchalantly.
"Somebody got laid!" Sirius announced.
"Of for God's sake, Black! Do you always have to be such a pervert?" Lily exasperatedly asked.
"Well what ELSE would you two have been doing?"
Lily groaned, frustrated.
"Does it ever occur to you, that SOME people can just lie in bed and SLEEP or TALK without shagging every five minutes unlike some OTHER people, who we WON'T mention?!" She yelled, glaring at Sirius.
He grinned.
"You didn't answer my question."
"NO!" She yelled.
Sirius put his hands up in self defense.
"Okay, okay. Just asking. No need to get all touch Lily-Billy."
Lily glared at him and he grinned sheepishly.
"Sorry." he said. "Er, what are our classes today?" Sirius asked, changing the subject.
Summer pulled her schedule from her bag and read it outloud.
"We have, in the morning, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration, and then a free period, then I have Divination, don't know what you boys have, then lunch. After we go to Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, then I have Muggle Studies."
Sirius nodded, approvingly, his mouth filled with his turkey sandwich.
"Good, get to get Potions over and done with."
"Are you still seeing that Claire girl?" Remus inquired, suddenly.
Sirius shrugged.
"A bit, yeah. I don't think that it's anything to serious. We've actually become really good friends."
Coppelia, who had been unusually quiet, raised her eyebrows.
"Friends? Are you sure we're not talking about chatty snog partners here?"
Sirius looked slightly taken aback.
"No, we're not. She's really very smart and I like her. We just haven't taken the relationship to any higher level. Taking it slow, man." He answered, truthfully.
"You're taking a relationship slowly?" Summer asked, disbelieving. "You? The almighty player, Sirius Black, are taking a relationship slowly? And seriously?" she almost screeched.
He shrugged and rolled his eyes.
"Yeah? So, what's the matter with that?" He questioned.
Summer and the rest of the table were attempting to stifle their giggles, except for Coppelia.
"Well, um, no," Summer giggled again, "It's just surprising, that's all." She laughed full out.
Sirius looked hurt and he looked down at his plate, suddenly interested in it's design. Summer sensed his embarrassment and she touched his arm, causing him to look at her. She smiled.
"I'm sorry Sirius, that was rude of me. But I do really think that you're doing the right thing, I think that's really sweet, you and claire I mean."
"Thanks Summer," he replied, smiling. "I just don't want to rush anything, I don't think she's ready."
"Wow," Remus exclaimed, "you're really taking this seriously, aren't you?"
Sirius shrugged.
"Well, I just really like her. I'm not really sure if I love her or anything, I don't know if it's that serious, but like I said, we've become really good friends and I don't want to hurt her."
Coppelia rolled her eyes.
"For crying out loud," she said, a bit too loudly. "You guys are being SO," she paused trying to find the right word, "mushy!"
She stood up, snatched up her bag, and stormed out of the Great Hall. The rest of the group watched in amazement.
"What's her problem?" Peter squeaked and James shrugged.
Sirius nodded, though, "understandingly."
"Defiantly PMS."
"OH! Sirius!" Lily protested, "You know nothing about PMS so stop acting like you do! And further more, that probably has nothing to do with it!" She yelled and stood up. "I'm going to talk to her, I'll see all of you later," she huffed.
Then she followed Coppelia in suit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily hurried after Coppelia, but failed to catch up with her. Instead, she found her in the Girl's Dorms, sitting on her bed, furiously eating a chocolate frog. When Lily entered, she didn't even bother to look up.
"What do you want?" she snapped instead.
Lily laid her bag on her bed and made her way over to Coppelia's bed, and sat down by her.
"I want to find out what's wrong. Why did you get so mad?" Silence, "I noticed you getting upset when Sirius was talking about Claire."
Lily studied Coppelia's face, which suddenly fell.
"Was it that obvious?" She asked.
Lily shook her head.
"No, wasn't even noticeable. I just could see because I've known you forever." Lily paused, "You fancy him, don't you?"
Coppelia nodded and a stony expression appeared on her face again.
"Yes, unfortunately."
"Why is that unfortunate?" Lily questioned.
"Because! He doesn't like me!" Coppelia yelled, truly angry. "Because he couldn't keep a girlfriend for more than a week and now that stupid little bitch has to come along and "change him." I don't stand a bloody chance!"
"How do you know that?" Lily demanded to know.
"Lily," Coppelia said, suddenly quiet, "he'd never like a girl like me, a girl that looks the way I do. That acts the way I do, that talks the way I do. Never and besides, now he's got that," she paused, "that thing" she spat out, referring to Claire.
"You don't know that, Copper." Lily said, soothingly.
"Yes I do, but I'm going to have to live with it," she said. She stood up. "Come on, Lil. We're going to be late for class."
"You don't want to talk about it?" Lily asked.
"Not really," she answered truthfully. "Maybe later, not now though."
A small silence followed, before Lily suggested,
"Maybe you should talk to Sirius about it."
"And make myself out to be a complete fool!" She screeched, "No, I'd rather not. I just," she paused, "I don't want to discuss it."
Lily nodded, stood up, and threw her bag over her shoulder.
"All right," she replied, understandingly.
Copper paused, as if she was trying to say something, but couldn't find the right words.
"It's not like you and James, Lils. Boys never liked me-"
"Boys are head-over-heels in love with you Copper, what are you talking about?" Lily interrupted.
"But not the ones I like," Coppelia overlapped her. "I was never happy with what I got. Maybe I'm just being selfish or self-centered. I just never liked the lads who liked me...I always fancied someone else, someone I couldn't have. This isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. But I've gotten over it one way or another, before. I can get over it again," she confessed, her voice calmer.
Lily, who was absolutely speechless, sat gapping at her. She nodded slowly.
"Why did you not tell me?"
"I didn't see it nessacery. They're all just silly crushes, not anything I'd die for, anyway."
"Are you sure?"
Coppelia nodded.
"Yes, I'm sure. Thanks, for being her for me."
"No problem," she paused and then a grin spread across her features, "what else are friends for?"
Coppelia laughed.
"Come on, we'll be late for class."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later in the day, while Lily sat with Summer and Remus in the Common Room, Sirius approached her. He looked very un-Sirius like, mostly because of how nervous he looked.
"Hey, uh, Lily, could I have a quick word?" He asked.
His face held uncertainty, which wasn't seen very often with the almighty, sure-of-himself Sirius Black. Lily nodded and smiled sweetly.
"Of course, would you like to go somewhere a bit more private?"
"Well, actually, yes, that might make it a bit better," he admitted.
Lily nodded again and stood up. Sirius waited until she was next to him and then he led her over to a corner of the Common Room. He looked down at the floor and pulled at his hands, Lily waited patiently for him to speak.
"I just wanted to say," He began, "that I'm sorry."
Lily nodded, encouraging him to continue.
"I'm sorry for getting mad at you and James. You just have to understand, that, well I became a bit jealous. James was always with you and it didn't seem like he cared much about his best mate anymore. I thought you had stolen him away from me."
Lily beamed and laid her hand on his arm.
"Thanks for apologizing. I'm sorry as well. I guess I was sort of hogging James to myself for a while there. It won't happen again."
Sirius gave her a small smile.
"So, we're okay? You're not mad at me or anything?"
Lily laughed and shook her head.
"Not at all, I'm glad we got that settled."
It was Sirius's turn to beam.
"All right!" he cried, happily and gave Lily a crunching bear hug. "I just couldn't bear loosing my ol' Flower Petal!" He joked, using her first year nickname.
"Sirius," Lily gasped, "Some room, please? I'm only human after all and air is a necessity."
Sirius released her and grinned gingerly.
"Sorry, love."
Lily nodded.
"Sirius, while we're here, there is something I'd like to ask you and I would really appreciate it if I could have your most honest answer."
Sirius nodded seriously. Lily continued.
"What are your, your true intentions for Claire."
Sirius looked puzzled.
"I mean, what are your feelings for her? Are you serious about her? I mean, are you in love or anything?"
Sirius chuckled.
"Love? Me? No way, not yet anyway. I mean, I like her a lot, she's quite sweet. But I don't think that we're anything serious. She's more of a good friend, with snogging involved." Like I said before.
Lily grinned and nodded.
"Awesome."
Sirius raised an eyebrow.
"Why? Taken a sudden fancy to me?" He asked, playfully pushing her.
Lily laughed and shook her head.
"You wish, Sirius." She shot him a grin.
"Then why did you ask me about Claire?" Sirius inquired.
Lily hesitated, trying to figure out what to say without giving Coppeilia away. (A/N I RHYMED!!!)
"Because," she paused, "Because I bealive someone else does, like you, I mean."
"Really? Do tell!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Er, sorry! No can do!" She answered and scurried off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Omg - yes, you may shoot me. This was the shortest chapter, I've ever written in my life! I'm SORRY! I'm sooooo tired and the holidays have been rele hectic! I promise to have a nice long juicy one up next!
