All By Myself ~ chapter 6





Helen found Sirius in the main entrance and they walked in to the hall together.

"Sirius?" Helen whispered

"yep"

"did you know that Lily likes James?"

"yeah, did you know that James likes Lily"

"did you know that neither of them are going to the dance"

"I most certainly did"

"did you know that Lily isn't going because James didn't ask her?"

"did you know that James isn't going because he hasn't asked Lily?"

"did you know that I have an idea?"

Sirius looked put off "hey, I was going to say that next"

Helen smiled "what's your idea then" she asked him

Sirius cleard his throat "I propose that we both send them identical notes, each saying to meet up in the astronomy tower"

"no, the lake, it's more romantic"

"how can sitting by a lake freezing your butt off be called romantic?"

Helen sighed, "honestly, you're so narrow minded, they'll be cold so the'll have to snuggle up together and they'll be below the stars" she sighed dreamily.

"alright, alright" Sirius said grumpily, "but I still think that the astronomy tower would be better"

Helen looked triumphant. "good" she said excitedly, "now sirius, you can write the notes, remember to change your hand writing, i'll get the owls!"

"fine with me, see you in a minute"

"nah, I think i'll stay here thanks"

"well how are you going to get the owls then" Sirius said, as if Helen was being the thickest female on earth.

"Like this" she said. She removed her wand from her robes "ACCIO OWL" she cried she did this twice and soon there were two owls sitting in front of them. Helen was pleased to see Sirius looking impressed. she smiled at him

"well come on we havn't got all night"

Sirius muttered darkly about bossy women or something and began scrawling the notes. Helen tied one to one of the owls and sent it to James. She sent the other owl to Lily. She grinned at Sirius "In about 15 minutes Lily and James will bump into each other at the lake wondering what the hell they're doing here, and we'll see what happens from there"

Sirius nodded and smiled "let's tell Remus"

"alright, but no one else"



***************



"why does James want to meet me here", Lily wondered as she sat by the lake watching the giant squid torture some grindylow. Little did she know James was only a bit away from her wondering the same thing. I bet he's just playing one of his stupid pranks, Lily thought. And I thought he was being serious. well it's his problem I'm leaving.

James was sitting also wondering where lily was. Eventually he came to the conclusion that it was Sirius playing a prank so he got to his feet just as Lily did and typically walked straight in to her.


Lily screamed


"shh" James said trying to calm her "it's only me"

"oh so you did decide to meet me then" Lily sniffed.

"no you sent me a note saying you were going to meet me"

"No I most certainly didn't"

"well neither did I!"

"oh" Lily pondered over this for a couple of seconds before saying "we've been set up then havn't we."

"seems like it" James agreed "and I'll bet his name begins with 's' and ends with 'irius'"

"No more likely to be Helen"

"well it was a double act then." They both agreed on this.

"I suppose we may as well make the most of it then" James said and sat down he patted the ground beside him inviting lily to sit down too. Lily stared up at the midnight blue sky. the stars wrapped her up in a shimmering blanket. She smiled at James. He smiled back and Lily felt that warm tingly feeling in her stomach again.

"It's freezing isn't it" james commented

Lily shivered, "yeah" she agreed and wrapped her robes around her more.

"come here" james said and he hugged her tight. Lily rested her head on his sholder and gazed up into his eyes. She could feel his breath on her neck. She sighed. She didn't quite know what to say, she was so caught in the moment. She was half sad because she didn't want the moment to end, it seemed so right, so perfect, and the other half of her was debating whether she should run away or whether she should kiss him. She didn't really want to do either of these so she just sat still, plucking out blades of grass and placing them in a pile.



James was thinking similar thoughts, except he definitly didn't want to run away, he liked the feel of Lily's head on his shoulder, he tightened his hold on her. He was very confused, why was he falling in love with Lily Evans. She was so different from all his other girlfriends. He gazed at her red hair which stood out even in the night's sky. She was different but real, so why didn't he just kiss her like there was no tomorrow? He knew why. He didn't want to hurt her. If they got together then it would never go right, it never did. He just couldn't afford to lose her. Unless she loved him too of course, but how would he ever know unless he didn't try? He remembered what Sirius had said.

He could be losing out on something big here.


Lily looked around. James seemed to be thinking something over. They had hardly spoken a word by the lake, yet Lily didn't feel the need to. She felt so relaxed once she had got to know James that it was like they didn't need to speak. She slumped against him

"what's the matter?" James asked.

"I'm just tired" She answered.

"Oh, perhaps we should go back"

"no, don't worry, I like it out here."

James agreed. "It's peacful isn't it?"

Lily nodded "I like looking at the stars."

"I havn't been out here for so long before" James said.

"havn't you? I come out here quite often" She paused. "I wonder if the dance has finished yet"

"i don't care if it has" James said.

"why not?"

"I don't want to leave you" James mentally kicked himself, but told himself that he should kill himself later - if Lily punched him and walked off that is.

"really" Lily said "that's sweet.................to tell you the truth, I don't really want to go either. I like being alone with you"

James smiled. He put his arm round lily's waist and pulled her closer.

"you know what?" he whispered in her ear, "i like being alone with you too" Lily shivered. Her skin was tingling. she turned her head to look at James and was surprised at how close he was. He inched closer, and Lily felt a kind of magnetism pushing her lips towards his. Their lips touched, softly at first, but then a bit harder. Lily's whole head was on fire, bursting into flames from the intensity of the kiss. She didn't know what to think, did she really want to be doing this? She wasn't sure she was ready. She decided she was and kissed James back harder until she was so out of breath that she had to stop. She broke away. James looked at her

"sorry" he said "I shouldn't have done that."

"yes you should have" Lily said and their lips met again!
