Bounce Chapter 7.
Lily woke up the next morning with someone's arm wrapped around her waist. She also realized that the person's body was so close to hers, that it made her panic! Oh my god! What did I do last night? Or more less who with? She tried to turn over but that was unsuccessful. When she felt the person beside her stir awake, she finally realize who it was. James.
"James? Are you awake?" Lily asked hopefully.
"Barely." James muttered half into his pillow.
"James, do you remember anything that happened last night?" Lily asked hoping that he didn't remember what she remembered doing.
James didn't say anything, but he realized that his arm was still wrapped around her waist, and he removed it quickly. He sat up, ran his hand through his hair and sighed.
"Your talking about the kiss that happened out on the lawn?"
"Yea." Lily replied. The two sat in James' bed before either of them had enough nerve to say something.
"James I think maybe there is something I need to tell you." Lily said slowly, as she sat up against the head board.
" Ok fire away." James said turning around to look at her.
"I can't do 'this' anymore."
" By 'this' you mean, sharing the same bed, then kissing two times in one day." James said looking down at the floor. "Listen I understand, Lils. You have a boyfriend. We are just friends, that have kissed twice."
" I don't want to hurt you James," Lily started, but was interrupted when they heard someone come close to James' bed. They couldn't tell who it was because the curtains had been closed before they went to bed.
"James! It's me, Sirius! Are you and Lily. . . well you know. . . decent?" Sirius asked from behind the other side of the curtain.
"SIRIUS! Of course we're decent!" Lily said rolling her eyes, as she opened up the cloth curtains. "Nothing happened!"
"Well, I was just making sure!" Sirius said giving James 'you can tell me later' look.
James threw a pillow at him. "Sirius, nothing happened! Lily couldn't remember the password to her dormitory, so I let her sleep in my bed. As friends only!"
"He's right!" Lily said nodding along with what James was saying.
"Yea, tell everyone downstairs in the Great Hall that."
"What do you mean?" Lily asked.
"What would you think if the former Head Boy and Girl were missing at the same time, plus you guys both denied you were married, and-um-."
"Go on!" Lily and James said at the same time.
"They all think you shared 'intimate relations' last night." Sirius said trying to sound to blunt about it."
"But how did they know we shared the same bed!!??" Lily questioned with her voice full of panic.
" Jacob Shellings, and Bradley Walker both heard you guys come in last night." Sirius said sitting down on James' bed. "Then Snape saw you guys walk into the portrait last night, supposedly. Then when Jacob and Bradley heard Snape telling the guys at the Slytherin table about it, Bradley let slip that he 'heard' you guys."
"They HEARD us!!?? How the hell could they have heard us! Nothing happened, Sirius! Nothing!" Lily said in hysteria.
"Lily! Calm down!" Sirius said patting her arm and looked into her eyes. "I believe you."
"Everyone believes this ludicrous story?" James asked Sirius.
"Er-yea. Except for Remus, Jacqueline, Kate, and I. We're totally behind you guys."
"This can't be happening!" Lily said moaning as she buried her head in her hands. "I have to go. What time is it?"
"It's nine thirty." Sirius said looking at the clock on the nightstand.
"Oh shit!" Lily shouted as she jumped out of the bed. "I told Jacqueline I'd meet her at nine. Thanks for everything Sirius, and thanks James for letting me sleep here last night. I'll meet you guys outside the Great Hall in twenty?"
"Um, ok!" James said looking at her wondering what had happened to her hysteria over the issue that they had been discussing. Lily left the dormitory, as the door slammed shut behind her.
"So nothing happened, right?" Sirius asked the second Lily left.
"NO!" James shouted.
"Though you wouldn't have minded if something had?"
"N- YES! I would have minded!" James snapped. "I still love her, and sometimes I think she still loves me. Then she just runs away, and wants to act as though it didn't happen."
"I'll leave you to get changed. I'll be waiting outside the Great Hall for you and Lils." Sirius said as he walked out over to the door, but stopped and turned around. "Maybe it would be best if you didn't walk in at the same time as her. Just a bit of a warning."
"Thanks, Padfoot."

Lily stood by the window that was located right off the doors of the Great Hall waiting for Sirius and James. She stood there impatiently. After her powwow with the two she had raced to back to her dormitory, this time she actually remembered the password. She had gotten a shower and dressed. Then she threw on a pair of flared blue jeans and a comfortable blue long sleeved shirt. Though today she wasn't worried on what she was wearing, she was worrying what people were thinking. 'James and her hadn't done anything, so what should that bastard Snape, think that they did.' She thought.
"Lily!" Sirius yelled down the corridor when he spotted her standing at the window. She turned around and flashed him a weak smile. "James should be here anytime now."
"Well, I-I'm going to go in and grab some breakfast." Lily told Sirius hoping that some cosmic event happened before she had to walk into the Great Hall. She was completely dreading it.
Lily turned away from Sirius, and took a deep breath. She quickly walked into the Great Hall, and immediately felt everyone's eyes on her. At the same time she sat down beside Kate who was looking at her too. Lily tried to remain calm, grabbed a piece of toast, and started buttering it.
"Hey, Lils." Kate said awkwardly.
"Hello, Kate." Lily said trying to act as though she didn't know what was going on. "Could you pass me some of the jam."
"I-uh-sure." Kate said motioning Jacqueline to hand her the jam, so she could pass it to Lily.
Jacqueline looked at Kate, who shrugged back at her.
Lily ate in silence, as she heard Alex, Jacqueline, and Kate make small talk. People's eyes had forgotten Lily and they had went back to their usual things, that was until Alex decided to say something.
"So, Lily, I hear you had an interesting night." Alex said biting into his apple Danish.
" Whoever you heard it from, they had the wrong information." Lily replied, biting her tongue from saying what she really wanted to say which was, Go to Hell. Though she refrained from saying it.
"Ok, but all the men are talking about it." Alex went on. Jacqueline nudged him in the ribs, but he didn't get the hint. "Though I'm not judging anyone. It was a mature adult act, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. I don't mind it myself, exactly."
Lily would've killed to have her wand in her hands at the moment. She thought the world was about to collapse underneath her. How could they think she'd do that to Derrick? She loved him! She did! Tears were starting to fill her eyes, as Alex went on.
" I wouldn't blame you. If my girlfriend, or in your case, boyfriend, would've sent owl to break up with you, I would've been emotionally damaged. Your just lucky James was there to comfort you. I just never thought James was that kind of guy to take advantage of a girl. Hey, you think you know somebody!"
Kate and Jacqueline sat there with their mouths hanging open. Neither of them didn't know what to say. Their best friend had tears flowing down her cheeks.
"I DID NOTHING WITH JAMES POTTER!" Lily finally screamed, as she flew out of her seat, and ran out of the Great Hall in tears.
" I can't believe you said that!" Jacqueline hissed at Alex.
"Did what?" Alex asked confused.
"Your so dense sometimes, Alex!" Jacqueline said throwing her hands in the air, and went back to eating her food.
Lily ran out the double doors, running as fast as she could. She even ran right past Sirius who had tried to stop her, but failed. Salty tears streamed down her cheeks, as she tried to wipe them away. How could they think I would do something like that? James and I are just friends! He doesn't care that way about me that way, and I don't feel that way about him. She came to a sudden stop when she felt someone's strong arms grab onto her and stop her.
"What happened?" James asked concerned.
"They think w-we really d-d-did something." Lily cried, as James pulled her close to his chest. "They t-think you took advantage of me, after Derrick supposedly broke up with me."
"It's going to be all right." James said into her hair.
"No it's not all right!" Lily protested pulling away from him.
"Why isn't it? We both know nothing happened! That's all that matters!"
"I'll know what happened! People will think I'm some. . ." Lily went on. "What if Derrick would find out?"
"LILY! He's not a wizard! He's a muggle!! He'll never find out!" James blurted out.
"Yea! Well we didn't think anyone would find out about us sleeping in the same bed. . . but look how that turned out!"
"He's your boyfriend! He'll understand! It's not like your about to be married for god sake!" James said trying to calm her down.
"That's just the thing, James!"
"What?"
"I-I'm." Lily said inhaling before going on. "I-I'm engaged to Derrick."
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Sirius and Remus searched the halls of Hogwarts as quick as they could. They checked everywhere from the Charms room, to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Finally Sirius gave up.
"I don't know where she went!" Sirius said exasperated. "But she has to be somewhere, and I know she's really upset. She burst out of the Great Hall in tears."
"I'm sure she's fine. She probably just wants to think. How would you feel if everyone in the whole school thinks you did something you didn't. Especially for Lily. She's a very refined, caring, and smart woman." Remus stated as he opened the door to the Transfiguration room, to find it empty as well.
"Well wherever she is I'm sure James probably. . ." Sirius stopped when he heard two voices coming from around the corner. "found her!"
"Padfoot! Shut up! We should listen, before intruding in their argument!" Remus whispered as they listened carefully to what the two were saying.
"Your engaged!" James repeated as he ran his hand through his hair.
"James I was really going to tell you! That's what I tried to tell you this morning. I even tried to tell you after we kissed last night!" Lily said wringing her hands.
"But you couldn't have told me sooner!? Before I made a complete fool of myself!" James shouted. "I guess you just wanted to see if you could steal my heart, then throw it back at me."
"It wasn't like that! I didn't mean to fall for you again! I would never play with your heart like that, James!" Lily said pleading with him.
"I should've known that the kiss we had last night was because you had to much butter beer!"
"No it wasn't! I kissed you because I wanted to! It wasn't the butter beer! I got so caught up in the moment I forgot about Derrick, and being engaged!"
"So you completely forgot about him when we were taking that broom ride, and when you decided to sleep in the same bed as me?"
"Friends can ride on a broom together!!! And as for the bed situation. . . look at how far that got us in the first place!" Lily screamed back. "I don't even know why we're arguing with each other! The only thing I did wrong was kissing you! Being engaged to Derrick is doing nothing wrong!"
" I can't believe you, Lily Evans! If we were supposedly 'friends', why didn't you tell me about being engaged to Derrick in the first place?" James retorted.
"He proposed to be the night before I came here! Anyway it's none of your business if I'm engaged or not! It's not like we're a couple or anything! Plus, I was a little tipsy last night. . . you really could've taken advantage of me! I'm sure you wouldn't have minded!"
James winced as her words hit him like a slap across the face. He could've believe she'd think he'd do something like that! That's something Snape would do!
" I don't get you Lily!" James fumed before he through his hands in the air, and turned around, then walked away.
As James walked away Lily sighed and turned around also. But she turned around to find Remus and Sirius looking at her as if she was crazy.
"What?" Lily asked.
"What!? How could you say that to him?" Remus asked.
"Tell him what?" Lily asked as if she didn't know what he was talking about.
"Oh come on Lily. Saying 'Anyway I was tipsy last night, and you could've taken advantage of me! It's not like you would've minded!'. James would never take advantage of you!" Sirius told her.
"Well. . . I-I." Lily stammered.
"Did you notice that in the beginning of your little rant with James that you actually admitted that you fell for him? Then you go saying that you were tipsy last night, and that effected the kiss you guys supposedly had!!" Remus questioned.
"I didn't say I fell for him! I never fell for him!" Lily shot back. Sirius gave her a look. "I told him that?"
"Yes you told him that!" Sirius raved. "Listen, you and James are meant to be together! I know it!"
"If we're supposedly 'meant' for each other. . . then why is fate stopping us?" Lily shot at him.
"Fate, Lils? No it's more like YOU stopping you two." Remus informed her. "We're your friends. . . we're not as blind as you might think we are."
There was a long silence between the three.
"If you'll excuse me, I have stuff to do!" Lily said as she turned around and walked away from the two.
"Moony, my dear friend, what are we going to do with her?" Sirius asked turning to his friend.
"I just don't know, Padfoot."
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~
Lily sat down on the lawn in front of Hogwarts. She contentedly stared out onto the lake, as she absentmindedly picked at the grass. Was she really the reason why she and James weren't together? No! It was fate! Fate brought her to Derrick! She was going to marry Derrick, and become Mrs. Lillian Grace Graham. Mrs. Lillian Grace Graham??? That doesn't even sound right, Lily realized. Mrs. Lillian Grace Potter? That sounds right. Lily scolded herself quickly after that thought had ran through her mind. She was never going to marry James.
She was madly, head over heals in love with Derrick. Derrick and her were going to live happily ever after, and grow old together. She was going to forget that James ever happened. Or so she tried to convince herself.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ End of chapter 7!!!!!!! Ok, first of all.PLEASE don't be offended by anything that happened in this chapter. Just don't flame me for it! (I don't know why anyone would be offended.because the rating of this story IS PG-13!) Plus, I know Lily doesn't really think James would've taken advantage of her..she was just mad. I hope no one is mad at me for making Lily engaged. This is probably my least fave chapter.because of the fight and stuff they get into. BUT IT WILL GET BETTER!!! I promise!!! Ok.well someone said about the Butter beer thing, and Lily being drunk. Well I couldn't think of anything else. . . so I used Butter beer. Ok?
Please read!- Ok.I'm doing this story my way. . . and please don't get upset about the adult situation in this story. Lol.it's barely an adult situation.anyway. . . because I'm not blunt about it.just don't flam. . . m'kay?
I was looking for Lily and James stories the other day.and I accidentally pushed Lily and Severus love stories. I'm sorry but..Lily/Severus.*shudders*. Ugh just the thought revolts me! *gags at the thought*
Please, oh please, R/R!!! Hmm.I would really like 15+ reviews again! You guys really do spoil me! But please.good reviews.they just let me know that some people actually read AND like the story. M'kay? I KNOW that Lily and James fight a lot in my story. . .but thats how I want it.. . and it's my story! (I hate when people flame you because you make your characters act a certain way. . . )

Lily sat down on the lawn in front of Hogwarts. She contentedly stared out onto the lake, as she absentmindedly picked at the grass. Was she really the reason why she and James weren't together? No! It was fate! Fate brought her to Derrick! She was going to marry Derrick, and become Mrs. Lillian Grace Graham. Mrs. Lillian Grace Graham??? That doesn't even sound right, Lily realized. Mrs. Lillian Grace Potter? That sounds right. Lily scolded herself quickly after that thought had ran through her mind. She was never going to marry James.
She was madly, head over heals in love with Derrick. Derrick and her were going to live happily ever after, and grow old together. She was going to forget that James ever happened. Or so she tried to convince herself.
~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~ End of chapter 7!!!!!!! Ok, first of all.PLEASE don't be offended by anything that happened in this chapter. Just don't flame me for it! (I don't know why anyone would be offended.because the rating of this story IS PG-13!) Plus, I know Lily doesn't really think James would've taken advantage of her..she was just mad. I hope no one is mad at me for making Lily engaged. This is probably my least fave chapter.because of the fight and stuff they get into. BUT IT WILL GET BETTER!!! I promise!!! Ok.well someone said about the Butter beer thing, and Lily being drunk. Well I couldn't think of anything else. . . so I used Butter beer. Ok?
Please read!- Ok.I'm doing this story my way. . . and please don't get upset about the adult situation in this story. Lol.it's barely an adult situation.anyway. . . because I'm not blunt about it.just don't flam. . . m'kay?
I was looking for Lily and James stories the other day.and I accidentally pushed Lily and Severus love stories. I'm sorry but..Lily/Severus.*shudders*. Ugh just the thought revolts me! *gags at the thought*
Please, oh please, R/R!!! Hmm.I would really like 15+ reviews again! You guys really do spoil me! But please.good reviews.they just let me know that some people actually read AND like the story. M'kay? I KNOW that Lily and James fight a lot in my story. . .but thats how I want it.. . and it's my story! (I hate when people flame you because you make your characters act a certain way. . . )
