Chapter Twenty-Seven: A final reunion under the tree
Lily woke up happier than she had ever felt in the past 13 years...she got up and pranced around the room, gaining a few weird looks from Bella and her dormmates (Katarina, Delissa and Dreanna). "Hello! Isn't it a lovely morning?" she said cheerfully. Bella eyed her suspiciously. "Lils are you alright?" Lily smiled and flung her bath towel over her shoulder. "Couldn't feel better." Bella shrugged and Lily went into the bathroom for a nice hot bath.
She came out and dressed up quickly and skipped down the stairs to breakfast. She walked around the hallways cheerfully saying hello to everyone, even the slytherins. She got to the Gryffindor table and grabbed a chocolate roll and ate it, enjoying each bite and the sweet flavor it gave. James came by and sat beside her. "Hullo Lily. Cheerful today, aren't we?" Lily smiled as she stired a bit of sugar into her milk. "Oh yes. Happier than ever. Don't you see James? I achieved my long-wanted goal! I brought Darleen to justice. Oh, by the way, I meant to ask...what will happen to her. You took her to Dumbledore right?" James grabbed a chocolate roll and ate it. He nodded and swallowed. "Yup. She'll be suspended for a week and then she'll have detentions for another 2 weeks. They can't expell her, she's only got a few more months until graduation it would seem pointless. They're transferring her to Durmstrang and it'll take a while to get the paperwork done. He was really...er...dissappointed at her." Lily smiled. "I'm glad they didn't expel her. Well in a way they did, but still..." James smiled again. "Yup. Now if you will excuse me, I have a prank to pull on Malfoy." Lily laughed. James stood up and left the table.
After class, Lily went out to the lake and sat under the tree. Just remembering. She remembered everything. The emotional depression she had sunk into. How James and Sirius had saved her. How she had saved James in return. How she found his frozen body and remembered his warm laugh and deep chocolate eyes. She sighed. 'Another quest for me. God I love him so much. Because of everything her went through for helping me do this. For really truly understanding me. I wish I could tell him.' She smiled and looked at the sun set. 'The pain that Darleen spread around finally sets. After 13 long years of pain, it finally ends.' She stood up and leaned against the tree, watching the sun set peacefully over the sky. "It is finally over." she whispered. "Yes. At last." whispered a voice into her ear. She turned around, surprised, only to see James Potter smiling at her. Lily smiled. "Hi James. What brings you around these parts of the castle? Missed the spot?" she teased. James raised an eyebrow. "I could ask you the same question you know." Lily rolled her eyes and hugged him. James was caught off-track and hugged her back. "Thank you James. So much. Now I owe you." she said, squeezing him a bit harder. "You're welcome Lily, anytime." Then, they broke apart and sat down.
There was a moment of silence. "Do you remember?"Lily started. "Do you remember those days we would sit around here and talk about Darleen, unaware of the sunset taking place? I wished I could have noticed it." There was another moment of silence. "Why do you say that?" asked James. Lily looked at him. "Because, it's so beautiful and it would have been a better use of time. Don't you think so?" James chuckled. "Yes. Indeed it would have been." Another minute of silence. "Lily? do you like someone?" Lily bit her lip and thought about it for a moment. "No. I love someone. Why do you ask?" James fiddled with his fingers. "I just wanted to know." Lily wasn't convinced. "James tell me the truth or you know what tragedy will befall you!" James grinned. "Oh really? An anti-James Potter schoolwide rebellion or the tickling charm?" Lily got out her wand. "The tickling charm of course, the other thing is too complicated to organize." James smirked. "Oh really? Then I won't say anything." Lily quickly charmed him and her fell backwards, laughing like a goon. Lily laughed at the sight of him. "Stop it! Stop it!" he said between laughs. She said the counter-charm and he calmed down, yet he still laughed. He stopped laughing for a moment and looked into Lily's eyes. "Lily, I love you" Lily looked at his love-filled eyes and laughed. "You know what? Me too."
