Chapter 15: first real kiss
James stopped dead in his tracks. "Love potion?!" he thought furiously. His mind flashed back to what had just happened previously.
Of course he had known it was Lily who had given this weird potion. Sirius had told him about his voice being echoed all over the school. Of course he believed Sirius – Sirius would never lie. But he very strongly suspected that it was Lily who had done this to him and Rachael. And maybe that Abi girl was in on it too – she and Lily were the ones who seemed to be watching them eat their dinner. Rachael, however, believed none of this. James tried to tell her what was going on – but she would just laugh and say, "Oh James, you can be so funny sometimes!" And then she would give him a playful kiss on his cheek. James kinda enjoyed this, but he was worried that she would blab out some of his deepest secrets for the whole castle to hear. She and that Arabella were always caught whispering to each other in their ears no doubt sharing some of the latest juiciest gossip. But now she had just blabbed her biggest secret.
Suddenly everything made sense to James. Rachael had used a love potion on him. Obviously that was true. No wonder he liked her so much that he broke up with Lily. No wonder he wrote all of those mushy letters to her. No wonder he thought she was so beautiful – now that he thought about it her face did seem to have a lot of acne on it.
The truth sank in. HE WAS SO FURIOUS!!! He ran out of the corridor – completely forgetting about Divination class. He raced to the Ravenclaw entrance which was behind a portrait of an old headmaster, and found Rachael emerging from it.
"Hi James!" she said sweetly and reached up to give him yet another kiss, but he pushed her away with a shove.
For a second she looked hurt then she noticed the look of rage on his face. She looked scared. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?!" shouted James. He knew that his words were being listened to by a thousand students – but he didn't care at the moment. "What's wrong?! I'll tell you what's wrong! YOU ARE!!!"
Rachael was about to speak but James cut her off. "YOU USED A LOVE POTION ON ME, DIDN'T YOU!!"
A look of terror crossed Rachael's face – but she said quickly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Oh yes you do – you just told it to the whole school! Everybody knows what I'M talking about. I can't believe you did that!"
"James, I love you! Anyway you can't do anything about it now – I've just taken another dose of it now! So you will still like me anyway!"
James could feel a loving feeling towards her – something that had become quite familiar now. But he fought the urge to tell her he loved her back.
"No! It won't work now! Because now since you have just told everybody Dumbledore will get you into trouble!" he shouted.
"Oh shut up James," Rachael snapped. "This whole thing isn't true. Funny joke – but it isn't scaring me. Oh and what are you going to do without me?! You're super popular now because of me. What will happen if we break up? Are you going to get back with that mudblood? That Lily girl?!"
James never had felt so outraged in his life. "SHE IS NOT A MUDBLOOD!!!!!" he bellowed. "SHE IS MY FRIEND AND I LOVE HER!!!!!!"
Across the school in class everybody had been listening to this interesting argument. At the last few words James had shouted – Lily couldn't have believed any of it. He loved her? More than Rachael? A warm feeling started at her toes and overwhelmed her whole body. James was actually sticking up for her. At that moment the bell rang signaling the end of the period. She jumped up, stuffed everything in her bag, and ran to where James was. By now she had tears running up and down her face. Dumbledore and some other teachers had already taken Rachael away to decide the punishment of using a love potion.
"Lily?" James croaked. "Are you ok? I'm soo sorry I didn't realize that she was using a love po-"
But Lily cut him off. She flung her arms around him and gave him a kiss square on the lips. Then she broke down completely and hugged him so tight he thought his head would fall off. This felt soo different. This was his first real kiss.
"Thank you so so much," Lily sobbed. "And I'm sorry for giving you the potion,"
"It's ok," James reassured her.
From that point on, James and Lily knew that they could never part. Everybody who had been watching said, "Awwwwww…"
Just then a voice rang out throughout the hall, and Lily recognized it to be her own mother's voice.
"LILY EVANS I FORBID YOU TO GO OUT WITH THAT BOY!!!"
A/N: Uh oh – another cliffhanger!!! Please review and tell me what you think. I'll have chapter 16 up soon
