CHAPTER 28
Lily looked into his eyes, and he finally let something show through 'Pure Happiness' they were DEFINITELY engaged! Lily grinned brightly and waited patiently for someone to say something. Five minutes later Mindy broke out into a grin, Lily knew she couldn't hold it any longer-.
"I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!" Mindy screeched and the whole common room looked up, Lily watched as Robert was tackled by Mindy and kissed rather…a lot.
"I knew it I knew it I KNEW it!!" Lily screeched jumping on the couch and hugging James who looked surprised, but pleased when they started snogging. When Lily gets happy; that's what happens sometimes……
A while later after a few people were waiting for Mindy and Robert to…finish so they could congratulate them, Lily and James came up for air.
Lily got up and ran to hug Mindy and were soon emerged in talk of decorations, dresses, people, wedding dresses and of course 'telling daddy'. James and Robert were talking about a bachelor party of some sorts, but Lily and Mindy ignored them.
"Hmm, how should I tell him?" Mindy asked speaking of her father.
"I'm sure he'll be understanding, after all he knows how much you care about Robert and Robert's got a secure job as a Quidditch player on the Chudley Cannons, so no worries there, and he knows Robert well enough." Lily said just then Winnie came and joined them.
"Lily's right, your Dad loves Robert; he'll be very pleased about it." Winnie said.
"I suppose your right; I just wish my Mum was here…" Mindy said her voice trailing off and her eyes grew sadder.
"Don't think about THAT Mindy, just think about being married and become Mindy Saratoga!" Winnie squealed.
"Oh, I like that!" Mindy and Lily said grinning, and soon more talk was up about the wedding.
The wedding would be in December of that year, on Christmas Eve. Just because Mindy liked that day. Lily would be a bridesmaid and Winnie was maid of honor. Robert had picked some of his friends for best man and such. All Quidditch fans, but Mindy was fine with it she was too! Mindy and Robert had already found an apartment to move into together.
The year was coming to an end, and Lily along with other sixth and seventh years were feeling depressed. Seventh years, because they might never be at Hogwarts again, and sixth years because they were approaching their last year, there were also other thoughts that were depressing, someone might always die and everyone made sure to say good bye to acquaintances and friends just to make sure they got that last little talk, just in case.
The big day was finally coming for Mindy: Graduation. Lily felt bad for her friend because she had really wanted her mother to be there, but her mother had traded her off in an instant. Her father had of course let Robert into the family with open arms, and for the first time Lily thought of something.
Lily would be alone that summer with Mr. Ewing, and lately he had been working so much, Lily had a feeling she would be alone a lot more. He's been writing Mindy about things that were going on in the ministry and nothing good was happening.
After the year was over and Lily found herself on the Hogwarts Express with her friends, she was worrying about being alone so much. She hadn't bothered her friends with this, but she knew they suspected something.
Lily let out an audible sigh in the quiet compartment and everyone looked at her.
"What?" Lily asked feeling weird at the center of attention.
"Nothing." They all replied. Lily looked at everyone: James, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Sierra and Jimena. They weren't the same out going bunch she was used to, but she knew why and decided to change it.
"Who wants to play exploding snap?" And soon they were having fun in the 'exploding' compartment.
"So what are your plans Lil?" James asked as they were taking a break and eating chocolate frogs.
"Uh, probably be bored out of my mind alone in Mindy's house." Lily said sulking a bit.
"Maybe you can come by my house or something, and-." James was cut off by Sierra.
"We'll make sure to come and visit all the time! Right guys?" Everyone nodded in agreement accept Jimena who had to go back into hiding.
Remus had tried to stay with Lily, but had ended up with a ministry worker name Arthur Weasley, he was older then them and had a few kids and a wife from what Remus knew. Though they had said he could visit friends, so he would be visiting too.
Sierra, Sirius and Peter had all the luck, no one in their immediate family had died yet, although Sierra's aunt died Sierra wasn't close to her. They could do just about whatever they wanted that summer.
James had also tried to stay at Lily's and then at the Weasley's, but had been denied by the ministry but luckily they put him with Sirius' family.
They planned to meet up somewhere soon. Jimena looked disappointed that she could hang out with them; but it was for her own safety. Lily had always wondered why she, James and Remus had never been forced to go into hiding, and Jimena had. After all she and James were wanted by Voldemort and for a lot longer too. Remus was wanted on the dark side because he was a dark creature, but yet Jimena was the one in hiding.
They had barely even let her on the train, but she was using being picked up by an Auror and taken to her secret place, so they'd given in.
The train stopped and Lily was hugging her two best friends goodbye and then went to kiss her boyfriend goodbye and then ended up getting swamped by hugs from Sirius, Remus and Peter. When she finally escaped she found Mr. Ewing and they went off to the house.
*~*~*~*~*
Lily was soon, bored when Mr. Ewing had to leave immediately for his job. Lily busied herself writing letters to her friends saying "it's like living by myself!" and other such things. She played around with Quidditch tossing the Quaffle around, but it wasn't any fun by your self. She wrote Mindy often and Mindy was enjoying living with Robert and they had started planning and buying things for the wedding. Lily was happy for them.
Every time Lily thought of getting married her mind directly went to James, but there was still that little bit of her that wanted to save James from his fate; that was also hers. Like THEY could defeat Voldemort? The man who had killed so many, with out a care. All he wanted was power, and he was getting it and quickly.
Lily was in the middle of writing a letter to Sierra when she felt an itch on her head, and then her arm then her neck, back, legs, feet, and right under the toenail. MOST everything was getting itchy and Lily began to resemble some sort of paranoid monkey. She was in the middle of scratching her knee when she decided this was no ORDINARY itching.
"All right if James Potter is in this room he better show himself right now and stop making me ITCHY!" Lily screamed as she began scratching her head. It was the tickling kind of itch that wouldn't go away and kept appearing everywhere.
James came out from under his invisibility cloak with a small pout on his face and undid the slight itching charm.
"Thanks, I was getting really annoyed. So what bring you here?" Lily asked James as she sat on her bed with James next to her. He tried to kiss her hello but she scolded him saying it was punishment for making her itchy.
"Well I only came by to visit you, now that I see you don't want to talk to me, I'm just going to leave." James said and started walking out the door but Lily caught up with him and blocked his exit.
"I know you James Potter, and I know why you really came here." Lily said pushing him away so he couldn't get through the door.
"Really? And what is that?" James asked pretending to be innocent, but he knew that she knew what he wanted.
"You came her e to snog and don't try to tell me that's not why." Lily said crossing her arms, to try and look intimidating.
James sighed and looked a bit dejected. "How do you know me so well?"
"It's a gift." Lily said flirting a bit. She got up close to James and almost kissed him, but instead ducked under him and ran off to the other side of her room, which was pretty big and you could run around in it with some space. James growled disappointedly and chased after her.
Lily was laughing at James who didn't know his way around the room as well as she did and kept tripping on stuff, but he was a faster runner then her and soon caught her when she had jumped on her bed that was in the center of the room.
James pushed her onto the bed and lay on top of her kissing. Lily melted into the kiss, enjoying herself. She didn't know why, but this was one of their much better kisses. It had so much feeling she felt overwhelmed. James' hands roamed over her and soon they were only a few steps away from- .
"Excuse me, but would you please step away from the Lillian." Came a voice by the door and James jumped off Lily in two seconds flat.
"My name ISN'T Lillian, it's LILY." Lily said grumpily getting up and catching her breath, all the while glaring at Sierra who was looking smug.
"Whatever, it's all the same to me." Sierra said, grinning at James as she walked in and sat in an empty chair. "I just 'saved' you from getting lucky James, I'm quite proud of myself."
"SIERRA!" Lily said looking shocked, and James only grinned, knowing it was most likely true.
"Well, it's true. I mean his hands were ALL over you. Quite disgusting if you asked me-." Sierra started to say.
"Yeah, and like you don't do that with Sirius, I bet you've done a lot more then I have." Lily said briskly.
"Maybe so, but I don't get embarrassed about it like you do, and that makes ALL the difference." Sierra said still grinning, "Speaking of Sirius, why isn't he with you James?" Sierra had a look on her face that said: 'I-bet- he-knew-what-you-were-planning-on-doing-and-was-giving-you-time-alone-with- Lily.'
"He's at home, I'm surprised your not there right now, since he is ALL alone." James said grinning at Sierra's look of shock.
"I have more things to think about then sex; James Potter." She said, "I was just coming over to see my DEAR friend Lily, when I found you-."
"We've been over this already. So really, why did you come over?"
"I just came over to escape my younger brother, and his girlfriend- they're as bad as you two!" Sierra said. "Steven and his girlfriends, they make me sick."
The three of them continued to talk for a while until they were interrupted by Mr. Ewing, who was finally home on time. Then James and Sierra left after talking with him for a few minutes, and Lily was once again bored.
