Disclaimer: God you'd think everyone would know at this stage that the ONLY things that are mine are the characters you don't recognize and the plot!!!
Lily strolled onto the platform, cool as a cucumber, dragging her overlarge trunk behind her. Her eyes roamed around the platform for a sign of one of her friends. She immediately spotted Sirius over by the train, throwing Phoebe over his shoulder, in a macho-man kind of way.
"Put me down, Sirius," she howled. Lily headed over to the pair who were so obviously mad about each other and so obviously blind to the other one's feelings for them.
"Hey guys," she said, coolly.
"Petal!" exclaimed Sirius, in delight, putting Phoebe down gently. She stumbled, slightly, as Sirius grabbed Lily in a hug.
"What are you trying to do to me, Black?" wheezed Lily when he let go of her. "Kill me?" Her hand was clutched to her chest in an over-dramatic matter as she spluttered.
"Never, Lily flower," Sirius enunciated. "I would never try to kill you."
"Oh my God, guys, it's our last year!" Alyson wailed, running, as agilely as was possible, over to them.
"Oh my God! Repeated Lily, coming into realization that after this year it would be the end. They would be out into the big, bad world, all by themselves. Phoebe whimpered, slightly, as if thinking the exact same thing. Lily, Phoebe and Alyson exchanged sorrowful glances and could well have burst into emotional tears had not Tara and Remus sauntered up to the group, hands entwined.
"Hiya!" Tara sang out cheerily. Lily, Alyson and Phoebe glanced at her and back at each other, before bursting into cachinnations, for a reason unknown, even to them.
"Our last trip to Hogwarts on the train!" cried Tara, as the group settled into a compartment.
"So we still have the journey HOME on the train," Sirius pointed out.
"It's so not the same, Black." Phoebe jumped into the conversation.
"Hey guys!" James appeared at the doorway, looking even more gorgeous than usual if that was possible, with Peter in tow.
"Hey James," replied Phoebe, argument with Sirius long forgotten.
"James." Lily looked at him, a millisecond too long and nodded. "Looking good, Pete," she said to Peter, who beamed. "Did you grow over the summer?" The boys squashed themselves into the already packed compartment and Sirius instantly began to reveal his plan for their final year, which included Snape a number of times, Malfoy, and something to do with sparkly unicorns, pictures of pretty gardens and an outsize jar of pickles. James laughed good-naturedly.
"Chock it down a bit, Padfoot, old buddy," James said. "I'm head boy this year so…" he began.
"So we can have even more fun," Sirius finished. "Excellent!"
"Are you really?" Lily interrupted her own conversation with the girls to glance at James, almost weirdly. He looked at her, twinkling blue eyes entwining with her deep pools of emerald. He nodded, almost subliminally. The others exchanged knowing glances.
"Um that's cool," Lily replied, breaking the moment by looking at her feet, which sported what looked like new shoes. "I guess we'll be spending even more time together this year so," she told him. "Cos I'm head girl." Phoebe jumped up and squealed and Tara and Alyson clapped their hands, delightedly.
"Are you really? You never told us!" said Alyson, almost accusingly. Lily laughed.
"It slipped my mind," she confessed. "Besides I was a bit surprised. I mean I've only been here two years. I didn't expect it at all."
"Ooh looks like Prongsy and Petal here will be spending a loooooot more time together this year. Whether its on "official head people business" or not," he suggested, winking at Lily. "If you know what I mean."
"Shut up, Siri. We all know you're really talking about yourself and Phoebs," Lily retorted.
"Lily, dawling," drawled Sirius, before Phoebe could say anything. "I have no idea what you're talking about. After all me and Phoebe aren't head girl and boy now are we?" He grinned, wickedly.
"You know what I mean, dawling," Lily mimicked.
"It's 100% perceptible that the two of you are head over heels in like with each other!" Peter agreed.
"Remus would you stop teaching him big words before he chokes on one," snapped Phoebe, reddening slightly. There was a lull in the conversation.
"He's right, though, you…" Tara started again.
"Shut up," Phoebe ordered.
"They…" Alyson said.
"Shut-up," Phoebe said again, folding her arms and sinking into a noiseless sulk.
Her sulk, however, was forgotten by the time they reached Hogwarts. The ceiling of the great hall looked prettier than ever this year if that was possible. And was it just them or did the plates and goblets look shinier than ever before? After the feast (which somehow seemed like the best thing they had ever eaten!!) Dumbledore stood up.
"I'd just like to say a few things before you head off to bed," he said, eyes twinkling, as per usual. He read out the usual list of rules, eyes flashing over to Sirius as he did so. "I'd also just like to introduce our head boy and girl this year," he announced, as a buzz of chat built up around the room. The students fell silent again. "This year both are from Gryfinndor and I'm sure they'll be absolutely wonderful. They are Mr. James Potter and Ms. Lily Pot-Evans." His face hid the barest trace of a smile, as he called upon the pair to come up and say a few words. James leaned easily against the teacher's table and exchanged a secret smile with Lily, which was so obviously only meant for the two of them and which people like Tara, Alyson, Phoebe, Remus, Shannon, even Sirius couldn't fail to notice.
"Lily." Shannon tugged on her cousin's sleeve, after Lily had said her bit. "I have to talk to you," she half whispered, half choked out.
"Oh my God, Shan, is everything ok?" she asked the younger girl, pulling her out into the hallway.
"Well I'm not sure," Shannon said. "Lily, I know you love James," she blurted out, as tears formed in her eyes. "And I know he loves you." Lily looked at her cousin, sadly.
"Shan, I don't love James," Lily assured her cousin.
"Lily, you don't have to hide it from me," Shannon said, blinking to avoid letting the tears, which were threatening to drip down her cheeks, fall. "I can see it."
"Shannon." Lily put her hands on Shannon's shoulders. "I like James," she admitted. A lot."
"I know," Shannon whispered, almost inaudibly.
"But I don't love him," continued the fiery haired girl. "And I'm not about to do anything that's going to hurt you." Shannon blinked several times.
"Please Lily do what makes you happy," Shannon said. "I can't be the one to stand in the way of you and James. He's not mine to have and if anyone else is going to have him I want it to be someone like you, Lily." She stared her cousin straight in the eye. "I love him so much Lily, even now after a year, but he's yours to have if you want him. It'll be hard for me," she admitted. "But it would be harder knowing that I had stood in the way of you two." Lily looked at her cousin, with tears in her eyes. She reached out and hugged her favourite cousin, who let the hot tears spill out, before turning and walking down the hallway, each step more painful than the last. She was facing a bleak future without James. She knew after that conversation she would never get him back but she waited until she was out of Lily's sight before breaking down and crying so hard her shoulders heaved.
Lily climbed, almost dejectedly, through the portrait hole. She could already hear the Marauders being disorderly and boisterous. Under normal circumstances that would have been enough to make her smile but not now. Right now she just felt like a traitor. She felt like she had betrayed Shannon, no matter what anyone told her. Shannon was still in bits over James, no matter how much she tried to hide it, it was still obvious to Lily, and by admitting to her that she liked him Lily felt like she was responsible for all Shannon's pain. It was true she was crazy about James and it was obvious that he was just as crazy about her. For them, sixth year had been a mass of flirtation, sexual tension and the odd stolen kiss when they just couldn't control themselves. Lily was falling fast and, somewhere, deep inside, she could feel that it would just end in severe pain but there was nothing she could do to stop it. Love wasn't something you could control. It just didn't work that was, no matter how much she wished that it did.
"Lilsy!" Sirius called when he saw her heading their way, pushing her hair off her face. Lily immediately put on her "happy face."
"Sirius, what is it with you and all the insane nicknames?" she demanded, with a lot more feeling than she actually felt. She flopped onto the floor, with her front to her friends and her back to the fire. Sirius shrugged and sat down on a two-seater next, a bit too close actually, to Phoebe. Within seconds he had made her laugh and when Sirius, ladies man - as always, had made a lady happy he was happy. Remus and Tara were, once again lost in their own little world. It was funny, Lily thought, how they could be all jokey one minute and so in love the next with all their private signals and little nicknames. Must be nice, she contemplated, being with your soulmate. The two were so obviously soulmates. With them, it was as if they had been put on earth solely to make the other happy. To complete the other one. To make each day worth getting up for. She watched as Remus whispered something into Tara's ear and then kissed her neck, softly. Sirius and Phoebe were still sitting next to each other on the couch, closer than ever before. Was it just her or did they seem to be touching each other, very discreetly of course, a lot more than was normal? It was so obvious that something was going to happen between the two of them, soon. Some day now their hormones would just break free and Lily was willing to bet her life that it would be soon. She glanced at Peter. Even Peter had found someone. She was a sixth year Gryfinndor, Katie Cunningham. Ok the pair were not as lovey dovey as Remus and Tara or as flirtatious and obviously giving each other strong signals as Sirius and Phoebe were. Neither believed in soulmates as it was and they seemed content with each other so what was the harm in giving their relationship a go? Lily looked at James. He hadn't dated anyone since breaking up with Shannon. From time to time he seemed to be in a total state of depression but he didn't seem to be suffering too badly as a result. Lily looked over at him, got up after a slight hesitation and sat down next to him, tentatively.
"Hi," she said. James looked at her, longingly.
"Hi," he replied. Previously all wrapped up in each other; their friends noticed this exchange straight away. Not just the exchange of words but the exchange of looks. They looked at each other so longingly, eyes full of want, that it would make your heart ache to look at them.
"Good summer?" James asked Lily, preferring to stay with "safe" conversation.
"Not bad," Lily replied. Their fingers brushed and sizzles of electricity were exchanged between them. They stared at each other for what seemed to be an eternity before Lily stood up, eyes not leaving James for even a second, and announced to the group, stuttering slightly, that she was going to bed. She slumped down outside the door and buried her face in her hands, not knowing what she was going to do about her feelings. She had NEVER felt this way before and it, truly, scared her.
"Inside the common room, James stared at the fire for almost three seconds after Lily left before standing up, also, and muttering something about getting an early night. The others exchanged knowing glances.
"Oh my God, Lily, are you ok?" James asked, when he found Lily sitting out side the door, heart-broken. She stood up and faced him.
"No, James," she replied. "I'm not ok." She looked at him, not understanding how he could make her feel things she had never felt before. "I'm sick of it, James. I want you so bad that it hurts me inside and that scares me." They looked at each other.
"You can have me," James said, almost under his breath.
"We have to talk properly," Lily said. "Let's not rush into things," she said, taking his hand and leading him to the head boy and girls private bathrooms. No sooner had she sat down on the edge of the bath before she hopped up again. "Forget it," she said, walking up to him, almost seductively, and slamming him up against the wall and kissing him so tenderly, yet so passionately at the same time. His hands roamed around her slender body, burning her skin. Her hands slipped up his t-shirt as she pulled him closer to her and deepened their kiss. It was only when they fell to the floor that James pulled away, panting heavily, hands resting somewhere that, for a first "proper" kiss, they probably shouldn't have been.
"Let's not get carried away," he told her, although loving the feel of her body on top of his.
"Your right," she said, standing up and pulling James up with her. Her hands snaked their way around his waist, as if afraid to let go of him. James took her hand.
"Let's go for a walk," he suggested. "It might clear my head." So they set off. And that was how they found themselves sitting, half on top of each other, by the lake at two in the morning.
"I don't know how to explain it," James told her. "You make my head spin in a good way. It's like when I'm with you I lose all sense of logic. I just want to wrap my arms around your waist and stay that way forever." Lily nodded. "I feel something I never felt with anyone else," he continued. "Not even Shannon," he added. Lily nodded.
"My turn," she said. "I've never felt like this before, James," she started. "It feels so weird. When I'm with you I feel like I could do anything I wanted. I feel powerful and every time I look at you I keep falling harder and harder for you." She looked him straight in the eye. "I don't want to hurt Shannon but right now it's me I'm thinking of. Your all I want right now and I can't risk losing you."
"I'm yours," James told her. "Now and always." He leaned over and kissed her so hard they toppled over.
"Ahhhh," cried Phoebe in delight. She had Sirius were up in the Astronomy tower, watching James tickle Lily, from a Birdseye view. "That is so cute!"
"I know," Sirius answered, sounding, surprisingly, serious for what could most probably have been the first time in his life. On impulse he reached out and grabbed Phoebe's waist. He pulled her to him and kissed her.
"Sirius?" Phoebe asked, shakily as they pulled apart. She touched her lips in shock. "What was that for?" Sirius shrugged.
"I'm crazy about you," he told her, simply.
"Sirius, you silly fool, why didn't you tell me before?!" she demanded.
"Because, my dear, it's only just occurred to me," he answered, smiling widely. She giggled as he pulled her to him again.
"I'm crazy about you too," she whispered into his ear just before he kissed her again.
