Chapter 3: New Beginnings
Lily stared into the face of James Potter, who was standing one stair below her, but was still as tall as she was. James gulped, Lily was angry!
"You Idiot!" Lily hissed, shoving hard at James, making his arms wheel round as he tried to balance. Just as he was about to topple backwards, he grabbed onto Lily's robes. Both of them tumbled down the stairs, Lily landing right on James, sprawled across him. They stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like an eternity.
"So why am I an idiot?" James whispered, still locked eye to eye with Lily, their lips' inches apart.
"Because you left. You should always finish what you start, James Potter." Lily quietly replied. James, taking the hint, raised his lips slowly bringing them into contact with Lily's lips. Electric shocks cursed through Lily's body as James lips moved over hers. His arms were now around her waist, hers around his neck, as the kissed. They parted a moment to catch a breath, when they noticed they had an audience.
"So I see your girlfriend's not a sandwich after all, James!" Came the voice of Sirius. "Ha! Thought you could fool me?" Lily and James both sat up, forgetting to be embarrassed in the light of what Sirius had just said. It was too weird and completely confused the both of them. Sirius noticed they strange looks being directed towards him. "What? I'm just joking… you know that right? Right?" James merely shook his head with a look of pity on his face. Then, with a mischievous look in his eyes, he leaned down and easily swept Lily into his arms. Lily gasped, then grinned, as she watched the astounded Sirius's mouth fall open. James walked past Sirius and headed up to the girls' dormitory. Lily lay in James's arms, feeling the well-developed muscles in his shoulders and chest. Wondering what the rest of the girls would say when they entered the dormitory. All the girls just stared, absolutely shocked, as James with Lily walked into the room. The girls could not believe their eyes! Worst enemies, James Potter and Lily Evans, now in each other's arms? Well they had known it all along; it had always been so obvious! They just sat silent so to not spoil the moment, as they watch the two walk over to Lily's bed. James slowly and gently lowered Lily onto her bed then leaned down and whispered in her ear.
"I think we should have a new beginning, Lily." Lily looked up at him, and nodded, feeling so very happy. James smiled a smile of pure delight then slipped quietly out of the room, leaving Lily to deal with the shocked girls. Star was the first to react, and it came in the form of a loud yell.
"FINALLY!" Then all the girls gave voice to a cheer, for they had always known that Lily and James were perfect for each other. Even through Lily and James hadn't been aware of that fact. Lily blushed heavily, and grinned delightedly. She knew that she would never forget this day.
James stepped back from where he had been listening against the door. He grinned happily as he heard all the girls cheering. He knew that he would never forget this day.
