Bounce Chapter 5.
Lily walked out on the stone balcony to catch her breath. She knew that if anyone else presumed that she was married, and had children with James; she'd be sick! Of course that the thought of it was bad because it wasn't, it was just that she knew that it would never be. Chills filled her as her arms rested on the cold stone railing. It was rather chilly for the time of season, she noted. She wished that she had someone to warm her up. Someone to hold her, someone she could go in and show off to all of her friends from school. There was no way she could've brought Derrick. Derrick was a muggle, he didn't know anything about witches or wizards. In fact, he didn't even know she was one.
"Lily are you all right?"
Lily jumped at the sudden sound of a voice. She whirled around to see Remus Lupin closing the large door behind him. He looked at her and smiled.
"Are you all right? You were standing out here looking a little pale." Remus said worriedly.
"Oh, I'm fine Remus." Lily said smiling to show she was quite fine.
"OK, I was just worried." Remus said as he joined Lily at the balcony's railing. They both leaned on it, and looked out over Hogwarts' grounds. Lily cast a side glance at Remus. He was so handsome, and caring.
"You wish you were with him, don't you?" Remus said at the spur of the moment.
"I do." Lily said dreamily. The second after she said the words, she slapped her hand over her mouth. "I-I didn't mean that! Really I didn't!"
"Sure you didn't." Remus said smirking at her. He put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, "It's OK, you don't have to pretend with me. I saw that look of jealousy when you saw him flirting with Meg Conner at dinner."
"Listen, Remus, I-I." Lily started, but was interrupted by a chilling voice.
"So, Lupin and Evans. Who would've thought. I always thought you might have an affair with Black, but the werewolf." the voice spat.
"Go to hell, Severus!" Remus said as he turned around to look Severus Snape in the eyes.
"You never could think of a better comeback could you? Always the quiet one." Severus said as he came closer to Lily. " I can see you surely haven't changed at all, Miss Evans."
" I can see that you haven't learned what shampoo is, Mr. Snape." Lily spat back. He was really starting to make her uncomfortable, but Lily wasn't going to show it.
" You know, Lily, if you used that feistiness somewhere else, I'm sure you would lose your Head Girl image." Severus said smirking menacingly, "In fact I could be the one to show you."
Lily jumped back in shock, as everything happened so fast. James Potter came barging outside, and slammed his fist right into Snape's face.
"Stay the hell away from Lily!" James spat as he pushed Snape to the ground. Snape quickly got back up, and stormed back inside, his hand clutched to his bleeding nose.
"What the hell?" Lily fumed. "I could've handled that myself, James!"
"Well, you weren't doing anything! He could've hurt you!" James said exasperated. Why was she being like this? He had just saved her from Snape.
"But I could've handled him! Remus was right here too! But of course you had to be the hero and save me!" Lily said raging as she stomped over to the door. " Were not in school anymore, and you don't need to save me!" She stormed back inside, to find a crowd around her, wanting to know what happened, between her and her so called 'husband'. Why couldn't they get it? She wondered as she stormed out of the Great Hall and back into the Guest Chambers.
Back outside.
"Wow, James, you really did it this time." Remus said as he leaned his back against the railing.
"What did she expect me to do, Moony? I saw and heard the whole thing from inside." James said, "I don't know how she feels, because she gets all angry when I do something."
"It's because your trying to hard to win her back," Sirius Black noted as he stepped outside. "Just be you James, that's who she fell in love with when we were in school."
"Yea, when we were in school." James huffed. "Things are different now, Sirius. She's not mine, anymore. She's her boyfriend's, oh what's his name? Was it, Dean?"
"It's Derrick, James." Remus said with a grin. "Don't you even pay attention?"
"Obviously not!" James said as he looked up at the sky.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Lily sat on the large canopy bed, with the curtains closed, as she quietly brushed her hair. She didn't understand the way she was feeling. Part of her wanted James to kiss her senseless when he was near her, and the other part of her wished he would go the hell away. He was just making this worse for her. She couldn't help that her insides did a double take when he saw him smile. She sighed, and put the brush on the nightstand.
"Lily? Are you awake?"
"Yes, I am. You can open the curtains." Lily said as her old fellow Gryffindor, Kate Brians jumped onto her bed. Lily let out a small giggle.
"So.are we going to have a late night chat like we used to?" Lily asked as Kate laid on her stomach on her bed.
"Of course!" Kate said smiling. "I know we talked earlier, but you have to tell me.what's going on between you and James?"
"Oh, Kate. I don't know what to do." Lily started, and all of the emotions that she felt just left her. They poured out of her. She had been holding it in so long she needed to confront someone. ".And then when Remus asked if I loved him still. I said yes! I told him I didn't mean it.but gosh, I just don't know anymore. I am supposed to love Derrick!"
"Calm down!" Kate whispered. "I think maybe you should tell Derrick about you being who you are! If you ever end up being with Derrick, and have his children; what are you going to do when your children get their Hogwarts letter?"
"I don't even want to think about the future!" Lily admitted.
"You have to, Lily! Well, I had best get to bed. I need my beauty rest." Kate said winking. "I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"G'night, Kate!" Lily said as she closed the curtains behind Kate.
Lily laid down and stared up at the top of the canopy. She knew, whether or not she liked it, she had feelings for James. No matter how much of a jerk he sometimes was.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
The sunlight poured into the girls guest dormitory, through the large glass windows. Lily put her hand over her eyes as soon as she opened them.
"God damn bloody sunlight!" she muttered as she buried her head in her pillow. She did not want this day to start, but she knew she had to get up.
Lily swung her legs off the bed and walked over to the bathroom. Luckily no one was up yet, so she could get a nice long shower. Once she got out of the shower she got dressed. She pulled on a pair of flared blue jeans, then put on a white tank top. She then grabbed a green sweater and put it on. She sighed as she looked in the mirror. What should she do with her hair? She put a drying charm on it, and curled her hair into long ringlets. After put on a touch of light makeup, she was ready for breakfast.
As she entered the Great Hall, she noticed that the students must've already have eaten. She took a seat at the Gryffindor Table, and filled her plate with fresh fruit and a pancake. Other people were starting to slowly fill the Great Hall, as time went on. Jacqueline, her husband, Alex, and Kate sat down beside her.
"So, what's on the agenda for today?" Kate asked as she took a bite of her sausage.
"Quidditch down at the pitch." Alex grinned. "Were all in for a fun filled day."
Lily groaned. "I hate broomsticks."
"Ah, Lily, I'm hurt!" Alex mocked anger. "You know I play Professional Quidditch!"
"Oh, don't brag, dear!" Jacqueline tutted as she took a sip of orange juice.
"I'm not bragging!" Alex whined!
Lily laughed at the scene. "Guys don't fight!"
Lily was about to bite into her pancakes when Dumbledore spoke up at the teachers table.
"Good Morning everyone! I hope the food is to your liking! Today's agenda is a whatever you feel like doing. You may join in classes, the Quidditch Pitch is open, or you can take a trip to Hogsmeade. On the fourth night there will be a grand ball all in your honor." He said with his eyes twinkling. "The head boy and head girl will present a speech and we shall celebrate our last evening on memory lane. I hope you all enjoy your day!"
Applause filled the hall. Lily sat there silently going over what in the world she was going to say for her speech. She didn't know that she had to make a speech! Lily, she screamed to herself, your a reporter! It shouldn't be that hard.
Her gaze drifted down the table to find James looking at her. She looked away suddenly and felt her cheeks turn red. She took another bite of her pancake, took a sip of orange juice, bid goodbye to her friends, and left the Great Hall. She walked down the corridors at a rather face pace. When she heard a voice behind her.
"Lily! Wait up! Please!" James Potter yelled behind her. She turned around and stopped .
"What do you want James?"
"I just wanted to talk to you." James said slowly. "Is that all right with you?"
"I-I" Lily thought the situation over in her head. She could be a jerk to him, or just try and put up with him for a couple more days. "Fine. Let's talk and walk."
"That's great for me." James said as the two started to walk outside and onto the grounds. "So.what do you want for the future?"
"I want a family. A wonderful husband who listens to anything I have to say and kids. I want a little boy first and two little girls." Lily admitted honestly.
"Really?"
"Yes. I have one of them so far. A wonderful boyfriend who would do anything for me, and I can tell him anything."
"Except about you being a witch?" James asked casting a side glance at her reaction.
"What kind of question is that?!" Lily asked. " I can't tell Derrick about me being a witch! I would have to be insane!"
"Calm down! It was just a question." James said calmly. He tried to go with what Sirius said. Be yourself, Potter! Be a man! Be a man? I can't even tell her I care! Well, if you didn't try and be so perfect, you wouldn't have this problem!
"James are you there?" Lily asked smirking at him. "Are you having an inside conversation with yourself? You looked as though you were contemplating with something."
"I-I wasn't talking to myself!" James stuttered. He looked over the grounds and saw the Quidditch Pitch looking deserted. "Hey, do you want to go down there and take a ride before the others get down there?"
"You know I don't like riding on brooms."
"I won't let you fall off! Please? Don't leave me stranded down there!" He pleaded with her.
"Your such a baby sometimes!" Lily said as they walked onto the Quidditch Field. "One ride, Mr. Potter, and I swear to God, if I fall off I'll hex you into next week!"
"We'll just have to take a chance, now won't we?" He grinned at her, and went to the broom closet and pulled out the second one he saw. "Great! A Falling Star! These things are one of Golden Snitch Weekly's number two broom!"
"I don't care what Golden Snitch Weekly says! Lets take that ride before I regret it!"
He helped her onto the broom, and then got on himself. James wrapped his arms around her waist, and felt her lean back on him. A grin split onto his face. They slowly took off the ground. As they flew around the Quidditch field, Lily realized that everything felt so right. She could feel James' heart beating, and a sudden warmth spread throughout her.
"Are you all right?" James whispered in her ear. She nodded. "Listen, I would ecstatic if you would want to go to Hogsmeade with Sirius, Remus, and I tomorrow. Would you like to come?"
"Well." Lily started as James let the broom descend to the ground of the Quidditch field.
"Well.what's your answer?" James asked as he helped her off the broom.
"Sure, I'd love to go." Lily said finally. What are you doing??!! Her mind screamed at her. I might as well be kind.
"Great! It'll be just like the old times!" James said pleasingly.
"Yea just like the old times." Lily muttered.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Well.that chapters done! I know it wasn't great.but next chapter.*laughs* it's going to be great! I can't wait to write it! I already know what's going to happen!

But just think.the more reviews I get.the sooner and longer the next chapter will be! I know this chapter WAS boring.but please! Good reviews make me write faster! Also.I do realize that there hasn't been L/J action yet.but there will be soon! Just in case your wondering why all of a sudden Lily's being nice to James.you'll find out in I think two chapters (depends on which chapter I make it!).
