A/N: Here's the next chapter... I really don't know what's going to be in it so... well... here goes nothing! I hope whatever I write, you enjoy it!
Star-Crossed Lovers 2
After an eternity and a couple of minutes, James slung his arm around Lily and she layed her head down on his shoulder, while he leaned his head on top of hers. They sat there in silence for a couple of moments, then he tilted her head up and kissed her. When he pulled away, he started to laugh.
"I wonder what Sirius will say when he founds out... he founds out..." James started.
"That we like each other?" Lily helped.
"Yeah," said James. At first he gave Lily a peculiar expression, like he hadn't even comprehended himself that Lily actually like him, then his mouth broke into a huge grin. She couldn't help but giggle at his little boyish, yet innocent expression.
"Whatcha laughing at?" he asked stupidly.
"You," she replied, teasingly.
"Gee thanks," he replied in mock serious, but he was grinning.
"You're very welcome," she giggled, and then they both burst out laughing together. They were just so happy to be with each other. They took each other's hand and began to play with the others' fingers. After about an hour of subtle talking, they both had fallen asleep in the armchair together. However, aproximately a half hour later they were woken up by a series of yells from Alex. Alex, who had been heading to the owlery and then to meet her Ravenclaw boyfriend, was as shocked and pleased as ever to see two of her best friends, who would easily make the cutest couple in the school, sleeping together in an armchair.
Groggily, James and Lily began to wake up and notice Alex dancing around them.
"Is this what I think it is? James and Lily are finally together?" she yelled happily.
James and Lily rose their eyebrows at each other, then nodded slightly to Alex. They weren't exactly keen on alarming the whole Gryffindor house that they were now officially a couple. They knew it would be hard enough dealing with their own friends teasing them, let alone the all of the Gryffindors, who would probably spread the news to the rest of the school.
Just then, Kate, Sirius, and Remus all popped there heads out of the girls dormitory. From inside the dorm, James and Lily could hear a muffled, "Shut up!" from an unmistakable grumpy Peter, and a slight whimper from Jenna.
"Did I here correct? Are James and Lily finally together?" Sirius asked gleefully.
"Yeah, we are Sirius," replied James, not knowing what else to say.
"And we're going to breakfast," said Lily quickly, grabbing Jamse's hand and trying to escape from her friends. "Boy this is going to be a long morning," she mumbled.
"You're telling me," James replied. "But at least we're going through it together. I promise to stand by you, if you promise to stand by me.
"Of course, James," she stated in turn.
Because they were up so early, they were able to eat in peace for, well... about 5 minutes. Soon, most of the Gryffindors, who had been woken by the 7th years' cries, were all making their way to breakfast. This, of course, led to the beginning of the very repetitive day where James and Lily were bombarded with the same question over and over. Were they truly together? After a breakfast, where they nearly continually nodded to that very question, they made their way to the potions dungeon. Of course their first class of the day had to be with the Slytherins...
As the students ambled in, James and Lily were not surprised to hear Snape's greasy voice in their ears. "So, Potty and the mudblood are finally together, I take it. That seems to be the news of the morning."
"Take that back, Snape," spat James, his face redenning with anger.
"And why should I?" he replied, eyes narrowing.
"Because she's twice the wizard you'll ever be," he said smugly.
"Really?" he replied. "And yet she hasn't even spoken up for herself yet today."
"Go boil you head, Snape. I don't need to deal with you of all people today. I have enough on my plate as it is," Lily stated sharply.
"Ohh, are you saying that Potter is hard to deal with? I couldn't agree with you more!" he said gleefully.
"Of course I'm not, Snape!" she bellowed. She was beginning to get rather mad.
"Come on," James muttered to her, dragging her out of the classroom.
"But class?" she whined. They were head girl and boy, and cutting class definitely wouldn't be setting a good example.
James looked at her thoughtfully, then replied, "Look at it this way. You can stay in potions and suffer with Snape for two hours, or you can cut, and serve a detention with me later."
"Good point, James," she said. He sure had some of the best ideas during troublesome times.
After James had grabbed his invisibility cloak, and he and Lily were drapped safely underneath it, they made their way outside to the cool crisp late morning air.
"It feels so good to be here you with," Lily said, after sitting herself down comfortably on the ground, making sure she was not in the view of the castle. "I didn't realize so many people cared about our love lives."
"Yeah. Hogwarts consists of nothing but gossip, gossip, and more gossip," he agreed. They sat outside for hours, talking quietly, passing a few kisses, but most of all, enjoying the privacy and silence. Being in the each others presense simply drained all unhappy thoughts from the area around them.
"You know, as much as I don't want to say this, we are going to have to face that school sooner or later," said James, as the sky outside began to turn to bright pinks and oranges.
"Of course you're right, James. We can't stay out here forever, although I would like to," she added, rather melancholy. Reluctantly, James stood up. Then he turned, helped Lily to her feet, and kissed her sweetly on the lips. With a boost of confindence, they turned to the school, side by side and hand in hand. And this is how they would stay, always standing by each other, until that unfaithful Halloween night when their son became a hero.
A/N: Alrighty!! This story is pretty much finished. I truly have no ideas for what I should write in a future chapter, so I don't think there will be one. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Well, PLEASE REVIEW if you get a chance. That would simply make my day! :) Thanks for reading!
