DISCLAIMER: This is soooo stupid. I don't own a thing, but everything.
A/N Chapter 26 is going to be longer then 25 which is the shortest thing EVER. But oh well, it's not that bad… I don't think you all liked chapter 25 or 24 because you guys didn't review or anything, but anyways I started another fanfic…READ IT, I like it a lot, maybe more then this one! Well I don't know this was my first (it will always have a special place in my heart) I'm thinking of ending it at this chapter…but I might not, I haven't been as creative with this story as I would like to be. Here goes nothing! FLUFFINESS ahead I think… *winks* song in this chapter I think it's perfect!
*~*~*~*~*
CHAPTER 26
School started up again, with everyone in much lower spirits, not very many students had died because of Voldemort, but never two at once. Then there were other problems:
Lily and James were talking, not easily, but still talking, and their friends were watchful of them. They'd figured something out, and they were wishing that Dumbledore hadn't said anything, and they wished they weren't as smart as they were; so maybe they wouldn't have figured it out. In a way they both secretly liked it, but in the long run, neither of them were happy about it since they both knew they could never be together.
Lily and James both figured out why Lily had been able to save James, there were so many clues to show it. Lily loved James and he loved her back. They knew it, though not sure if the other knew how they felt for them.
Back in fourth year on the train to Hogwarts, when the death eaters had attacked, James saved Lily with his love for her, that he hadn't even known he had and the thing that made it work was that she loved him too, fourteen year olds don't know they love each other, so they hadn't figured it out back then, but they had now.
Every time Lily saw James she wanted to hide, she couldn't face him without him loving her back. Their conversations were terrible they went like this:
"Hey Lily do you have that Charms Essay done?"
"Yeah, do you?"
"Yes."
"That's good."
"Um, well, um, bye."
"Bye."
Not exactly getting around to professing their love for each other. Their friends were getting annoyed by their actions. They were fed up with the two of them, Lily had given in and told Sierra and Jimena how she felt for James, and they were two steps away from telling James about it.
February started normally, and then Valentine's Day got closer and closer, and Lily was dreading it. Everyone was getting together with some one, except her. Sierra had Sirius, Jimena had Remus and Winnie had gotten with Marvin, and Mindy had Robert and even Peter had gotten with a fifth year from Hufflepuff.
There was of course, one other person who was alone, and he was planning on staying that way until he died unless he could be with the girl he loved. He only told one person this, Peter Pettigrew.
Peter was still feeling guilty as ever. He wanted to secretly make it up to James. So he did something he knew his Master wouldn't be happy with.
*~*~*~*~*
Lily had started her annual "Study 'til you drop" procedure. She was always in the library; Jimena and Sierra were with her most of the time.
Although Lily looked like she was studying she wasn't really. She was thinking of a certain messy haired boy in Gryffindor. She tried to shake away the thoughts of him, but everything reminded her of him.
Sierra and Jimena were sitting next to her studying and doing homework. Then Peter came into the room, it was pretty late and the library would be closing soon; so she was surprised he was there.
He walked over to them and seemed to be thinking of what to say.
"Hey, Jim, Sierra I need your help on my Muggle Studies Essay, and since you two are the only people I feel comfortable asking for help with it…Well yeah, I need help and I was wondering if you would come to the common room with me to work on it."
"Sure Pete, no problem." Sierra said standing up, and Jimena right behind her.
"Lils, you don't mind do you?" Jimena asked.
"No, course not, I'm going to stay here a little longer, I need to memorize this last little thing." Lily answered.
"You sure? Because no one else is in here- except James he's over there." Sierra said nodding towards the table where James sat with piles of books scattered around him.
"I can deal with it, don't worry." When Lily said this, Peter looked noticeably relieved, though she didn't catch it because she was staring at her parchment with Herbology notes written all over it.
Peter, Jimena and Sierra left with Peter talking actively and then she heard Sierra squeal loudly and be shushed by Jimena and Peter, but she noticed the two of them were ginning broadly. James seemed to notice too and they looked at each other wondering if the other knew what they were talking about.
The three left and shut the door and she didn't know they had just locked her in. The librarian had left an hour ago and Lily was feeling nervous sitting by herself. So she got up to open the door.
It was locked of course, Lily shook the door knob a few times figuring it was locked and getting annoyed she yelled "Alohomora!" and James noticed what she was doing and walked over to her.
"The door's locked and it won't open, not even with the Alohomora charm!" Lily said frustrated.
"Locked? That's weird; I didn't know they locked the library door." James said scratching his head.
"Me either, um, maybe, you should try opening it." James and Lily tried for about 10 minutes to get the door open, but nothing worked.
"You don't think-." James said as they were deciding what might have happened to the door, but Lily's eyes grew wide as they both realized what had happened to them.
"Peter, Jimena and Sierra locked us in here!" Lily exclaimed. "WHY would they do that? Those two know how I-." Lily stopped her self from saying 'How I feel about you.'
"Wormtail is going to be in some big trouble when I'm through with him!" James growled clenching his fists. They stood there fuming for a few minutes and Lily finally spoke up.
"I think they are trying to get us together." Lily said; stating what they already knew.
"Yup, even though I've TOLD Peter why I don't go out with you, here he is still trying." James said shaking his head is disbelief at his friend's behavior.
"And I told Jimena and Sierra, they totally didn't listen to me!" Lily said stomping over to her table where she had been studying, and James followed her.
They were sitting there for a good half hour, when they tried the door again and still nothing happened, so they went back to sit.
"Remember what we used to do when we studied together?" James finally said grinning, because Lily had started writing down names and places she'd memorized and her pen had just made a very long line across the page at what he said.
"Um, yes, I- Erm, I- um- do." Lily stuttered nervously. Thinking back to that month when they had dated at their study dates where they ended up snogging, it had always been fun; but she DID NOT want to talk about it. James laughed slightly at her.
"I wasn't implying anything, don't worry." James said, and Lily was wondering where his sudden talkativeness was coming from.
"I never said you were."
"But you were thinking it."
"Maybe I was a little bit." Lily admitted. "So why did you bring it up?"
"Well," James started blushing, "I was just thinking about how fun it was, and since you and I had just been studying together not that long ago…" James' voice trailed off.
"And?" Lily asked curious about what he was talking about, all though she had an idea.
"Maybe, I mean since we are already here, and that's what Wormtail wants us to do anyways-." James was interrupted by a loud thunder clap from outside, which made Lily yelp.
She hadn't even noticed that it was storming, probably because her thoughts had been occupied on the other person in the room. The Library's windows were lit up with lightning and it was pouring down rain, and Lily and James got quiet for a while just listening to the storm build up momentum. There was constant thunder and lightning and it never ceased.
The library was quite dark, since most of the lighting had been put out by the librarian when she had left earlier.
"So as I was saying, since Wormtail wants us to do it anyways, we might as well-." James finally started speaking again.
"SNOG?" Lily exclaimed, thoroughly shocked.
"Yeah, I mean why not, I like you, you like me. We both know it." James said casually, and it made Lily get slightly mad.
"James, we both not it's not THAT easy." Lily said standing up and walking to try and open the door once more and James followed her.
"Um, why can't it be that easy? I mean I like you enough that I would risk it."
"James exactly what are we risking?" Lily asked turning around to stare at him, when once again the door didn't open.
"Uh…" James blushed furiously then composed himself. "I always assumed we were risking falling in love with each other, but in my case it's too late, I've love you the whole time. I can't stop myself, I've been trying for a long time not to love you Lily, and it's damn difficult and I still haven't succeeded. If you love me back, I'm willing to you know; take it the next step. I want to be with you forever Lily. You can't convince me to stop loving you, so don't even try. I'd die just to be with you. So the only question I need the answer to right now, is if you love me back."
Lily looked at James taking all that he said in, she let it settle, and started thinking knowing full well that she was probably making the most important decision of her life.
'I love James, its true, but if he dies because of me…I couldn't bare it! But if he's willing to be with me, even if it means death…Then I think I can do it too.' Lily looked at James and wiped tears that were starting to fall from her eyes. He was staring at her with an intense look in his Chocolate brown eyes. She struggled to speak.
"James Potter, I love you and I don't want you to die because of me-." James' face fell visibly. "BUT." He looked up and his face brightened. "I don't think I could live any longer without you, and I hate the hurt I get whenever I look at you, and know your not mine, and could very well end up with any other girl. I know I'm selfish, but I want to be with you. I love being with you more then any other person. You're the person I WANT to be with, all the time and forever. You're the only person who can put up with my attitude that arises often; you're the only one I can imagine being with forever. Voldemort my try and kill me because I'm with you, but I don't care about what he thinks; I'm going to choose how I live my life from now on." Lily said finishing and wiping tears of happiness and strong emotions from her face.
"So I take it, you're my girlfriend?" James asked, and Lily nodded.
James looked at Lily and he grinned at her and she returned his grin. Lily felt butterflies in her stomach knowing what he would hopefully do next.
He walked close enough to her, that she could feel him breath on her face. Then he bent down and kissed her with such power that she could hardly take it. Her knees felt weak and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
When you haven't kissed someone you desperately love for a long time, you tend to get carried away. James backed Lily against the side of an empty library table, and laid her on it and crawled on top her kissing her passionately.
Lily was overwhelmed with feeling as he kissed her on the table during a raging thunderstorm. She was so happy it hurt, and when they finally took a break a few hours later, she was cuddling in James' arms in a comfy chair in the corner of the room and was reminded of a song:
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smile just to see the smile upon your face
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are is everything in me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
And these are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for, yeah
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had comes true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Here with you here with me
Yeah
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive
And these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
And every prayer has been answered
Every dream I've had comes true
Yeah, right here in this moment
Is right where I'm meant to be
Oh, here with you here with me
No, I could not ask for more
Than this love you gave me
Cause it's all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more
No, yeah
No, I could not ask for more
(Sara Evans "I Could Not Ask For More")
It described how Lily was feeling perfectly.
*~*~*~*~*
Around three in the morning the two of them heard the door squeak open, and jumped apart; praying it wasn't Filch. They watched as the door opened and closed, but no one came in.
"Guys, I know your there, so please come out." James said annoyed with his friends, as Sirius, Remus, Peter, Sierra, and Jimena came out from a much enlarged invisibility cloak.
"So?" Sirius said expectantly. "Peter just NOW told us what he planned, and I might add it was ALL him."
"Are you serious?" Lily asked incredulously.
"Yes, in more then two ways." Sirius answered with a smirk.
"So…do you guys have something to tell us?" Sierra asked taping her foot in impatience; after all it was three in the morning and she was still awake, even if they didn't have class tomorrow, she wanted to go to bed.
"Like what?" James asked he gave Lily a look that said: Let's-play-with- them-for-a-while. Lily understood the look and gave him a look that said: They-deserve-it-big-time.
"Um, I don't know, just something." Jimena said her face wore an expression of 'I-hope-they-worked-things-out!'
"Well, me and James were quite bored waiting to get out; what DID you do to that door, trust me we know it was you." Lily told them and they looked disappointed.
"I used a five hour locking charm, so not even FILCH could get through. I was surprised it worked, with my skills." Peter said grinning slightly, he looked the most disappointed.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to bed." James said yawning, and they went up to bed; with James and Lily trying not to laugh the whole way. And their friends were frustrated that both of them were still single.
Lily went up to the right side of the tower up to the girls' dormitories with Sierra and Jimena; it was lonely with just the three of them in the dorm.
As soon as they shut the door, Sierra jumped at Lily.
"Did something HAPPEN in there?!" Sierra bursting with energy.
Lily jumped back in shock, but quickly recovered. "No nothing but boredom, why'd Peter do that? Or did you two have something to do with this?"
"Well, we found out about it, but only right AFTER it happened." Jimena white lied quickly.
Lily just smirked, knowing full well that they'd probably known about it, but said nothing.
"SO?" Sierra asked urgently.
"What?"
"Did ANYTHING happen with you and James?" Sierra asked insistently.
"NO, nothing happened." Lily said with her fingers crossed behind her back. "We just sat around the library and studied." Lily said simply, and she tried not to smile at the inside joke she had with James about studying.
When she and James had gone out last year, he would always come up to her and ask to study, and it didn't take her long to find out what he really meant about that…
"You and James just sat around and studied? You guys weren't even near the books, in fact it looked like you guys hadn't done anything." Jimena said.
"Well, we didn't study for very long, I was quite studied out thank you very much." Lily said covering up for herself. "Now, I'm going to bed."
They went to bed and Lily had a permanent grin stuck on her face, she wasn't too tired she had been tired but now she felt sudden excitement and couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned for a while.
She didn't notice the door open and shut quietly or the breeze that flicked through the room as an invisible figure bounded over to her bed.
Lily was almost asleep and had just rolled over on her back when she felt warm lips on hers, and recognized them as James'. She smiled tiredly at him, wondering what he wanted.
He tugged on her hand and pulled her out the door under the invisibility cloak. They got down to the common room and pulled the cloak off, but were wary of noises since they didn't want to be caught.
"So *Yawn* what brings us here in the early morning hours of the day?" Lily asked leaning onto James who was much more awake then she was.
"I have an idea." James said and started to explain what he thought they should do to really shock their friends the next day, and Lily put her two Knuts in and they finally were finished with the easy plan.
"I think I'm going back to bed." Lily said starting to get up from her comfortable place in James' arms. She gave him a good night kiss and went to bed; finally, and fell asleep immediately. Her last thoughts were:
Her friends were going to be shocked in the morning…

"Like what?" James asked he gave Lily a look that said: Let's-play-with- them-for-a-while. Lily understood the look and gave him a look that said: They-deserve-it-big-time.
"Um, I don't know, just something." Jimena said her face wore an expression of 'I-hope-they-worked-things-out!'
"Well, me and James were quite bored waiting to get out; what DID you do to that door, trust me we know it was you." Lily told them and they looked disappointed.
"I used a five hour locking charm, so not even FILCH could get through. I was surprised it worked, with my skills." Peter said grinning slightly, he looked the most disappointed.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to bed." James said yawning, and they went up to bed; with James and Lily trying not to laugh the whole way. And their friends were frustrated that both of them were still single.
Lily went up to the right side of the tower up to the girls' dormitories with Sierra and Jimena; it was lonely with just the three of them in the dorm.
As soon as they shut the door, Sierra jumped at Lily.
"Did something HAPPEN in there?!" Sierra bursting with energy.
Lily jumped back in shock, but quickly recovered. "No nothing but boredom, why'd Peter do that? Or did you two have something to do with this?"
"Well, we found out about it, but only right AFTER it happened." Jimena white lied quickly.
Lily just smirked, knowing full well that they'd probably known about it, but said nothing.
"SO?" Sierra asked urgently.
"What?"
"Did ANYTHING happen with you and James?" Sierra asked insistently.
"NO, nothing happened." Lily said with her fingers crossed behind her back. "We just sat around the library and studied." Lily said simply, and she tried not to smile at the inside joke she had with James about studying.
When she and James had gone out last year, he would always come up to her and ask to study, and it didn't take her long to find out what he really meant about that…
"You and James just sat around and studied? You guys weren't even near the books, in fact it looked like you guys hadn't done anything." Jimena said.
"Well, we didn't study for very long, I was quite studied out thank you very much." Lily said covering up for herself. "Now, I'm going to bed."
They went to bed and Lily had a permanent grin stuck on her face, she wasn't too tired she had been tired but now she felt sudden excitement and couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned for a while.
She didn't notice the door open and shut quietly or the breeze that flicked through the room as an invisible figure bounded over to her bed.
Lily was almost asleep and had just rolled over on her back when she felt warm lips on hers, and recognized them as James'. She smiled tiredly at him, wondering what he wanted.
He tugged on her hand and pulled her out the door under the invisibility cloak. They got down to the common room and pulled the cloak off, but were wary of noises since they didn't want to be caught.
"So *Yawn* what brings us here in the early morning hours of the day?" Lily asked leaning onto James who was much more awake then she was.
"I have an idea." James said and started to explain what he thought they should do to really shock their friends the next day, and Lily put her two Knuts in and they finally were finished with the easy plan.
"I think I'm going back to bed." Lily said starting to get up from her comfortable place in James' arms. She gave him a good night kiss and went to bed; finally, and fell asleep immediately. Her last thoughts were:
Her friends were going to be shocked in the morning…
