Chapter 12: He's Always There For Me.
When Lily and James were allowed to leave Hospital Wing, the whole school had heard about what happened. No one knew what James really had to do with it, but they didn't know about his animagi power. Everyone came up with different things but no suggestions quite came to the truth. When Lily was asked about what happened she just shook her head and said she didn't want to talk about it. James had told the Marauder's of what had happened that night and made them keep it a secret. Lily didn't like the attention she was getting from the students and would often stay in her dorm with her cat for company. She knew what would happen if any one would know that she and James were asked to join the Dark Side. They'd fear them and try to get them out of the school, thinking they would turn into a Death Eater. Her only comfort came from her friends, the teacher's and mostly James.
- Dear Diary,
Here I am again, stuck in my dorm. Why'd this have to happen? I hate this. All this attention is not what I wanted. And now, I'm living in some fear, a fear that James will get hurt because of me. No matter what happens, it's always HIM rescuing me, it's always HIM making sure I'm ok, it's always HIM that's getting hurt because of me. James rescued me from Remus as a werewolf, he's the one that's reassuring me at these dark times, and he's the one that rescued me from that hooded thing back then. He's always there for me. I think I'm turning into a burden for him. He deserves better than some curious, ugly, quiet and helpless girl like me. But I love him so much.
Lily

A knock came at the door and made Lily jump. It opened slowly and James peered through and smiled charmingly at Lily.
"Hi." Lily said smiling and closed her diary.
"Hey there Lil," he replied and sat behind her on her bed. He embraced her from behind and pecked her on the cheek. He then rested his head on her shoulder. Lily giggled a little.
"What'cha doing?" he asked childishly and yawned.
"Nothing much," she replied.
"Uh huh," he replied and yawned again. He then lay down, dragging her down with him. She laughed a little. James untied her loose bun and let her hair fall down her back in smooth dark red waves. He ran his fingers through her hair and she sighed closing her eyes. He pulled her in closer so that her head was lying on his shoulder. She sighed even more and placed her foot between his two feet, keeping them warm.
"James," she whispered.
"Yes?" he replied quietly.
"I want to stay like this forever," she said quietly, enjoying his presence.
"So do I." He replied and closed his eyes. They both fell asleep like that. When the girls came into their dorm, none of them had the heart to wake them up. They looked so cute together.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter (but I think the fluffiness of this chapter makes up for it), there'll be a lot more in chapter 13. If you're not pleased with chapter 13, I hereby give you permission to cast an Unforgivable curse on me for 5 minutes – but do remember those are illegal and you'd be breaking wizarding rules – .
