that's upsets me is that I have to come back to school in two days!!! It's
not fair!
Is It Love?
Chapter Thirteen: Midnight Picnic
Lily laid on the cold floor for a bit more and then went out to the grounds.
She didn't want to go straight to her friends and tell them.
No, she needed a bit time for herself - to think alone.
James Potter!
James Potter protected her, apologized and then kissed her!
And she kissed back!
It was the most incredible feeling in the world.
She didn't regret that.
Midnight in the common room.
Hmmmm.
She spent the rest of the time until curfew out in the grounds thinking and then went straight to bed.
James made his way to the Gryffindor common room.
He took the stairs to his dorm three at a time.
He felt like he could scream.
Or sing.
Or just anything to express his happiness.
Lily Evans.
Not a ditzy blond.
A sweet, charming, cute, pretty, intelligent girl!!!
Lily Evans - his rival since first year.
Lily, Lily, Lily.
Sounds much better then Evans.
He stayed in his dorm until ten and then grabbed his invisibility cloak, muttered goodbye to the other Marauders and left the tower.
Lily looked at the clock on her night table.
She decided to stay awake until midnight, she didn't feel like sleeping anyway.
A minute before midnight.
She crept out of bed and made her way to the deserted common room.
She waited for a few minute and then-
"Hey."
She turned around and saw James in front of her.
"Hey." She smiled.
For a second they just looked at each other.
"Come." He took her hand and led her out of the common room.
"Where are we going?"
He only smiled.
"James! Tell me."
He smiled and put his finger on his lips for silence.
They arrived to a big corridor full with paintings of food.
James tickled the pear and in became a door.
They entered the kitchen.
Lily looked around.
It was huge!
She looked at James and saw that he was pointing to one of the corners of the room.
They went there and Lily saw a picnic map spread on the floor, candles surrounded it and on it were all sorts of yummy foods.
Lily looked at James.
"You did this?" She was shocked.
"The house elves helped." He suddenly felt shy.
"Thank you." She smiled, that was not the James Potter she knew.
They both sat on the map and started eating and talking.
".So me and Sirius made him jump like a rabbit all day long and he could only say: carrot."
"I remember, it was so funny! I hate the slime ball!!!"
"Welcome to the club."
"He's so horrible, thinks he's so good because he's a 'pure blood' it's all rubbish!"
"Yeah, he and Malfoy. Phew! Did you know that Malfoy had a crush on you?"
Lily, who was currently drinking pumpkin juice chocked.
"He What?!"
"Oh, yes. I myself didn't see that but others told me that it was common knowledge. Of course I was your enemy then so I couldn't really notice anyway." He smiled.
She got closer.
They started desert.
"Whipped cream!" Lily cried with joy.
"Your favorite?"
"You bet."
She started pigging on it.
Suddenly James laughed.
"What?"
"You have a bit of cream on your nose."
Lily's eyes twinkled.
"You too."
"Me? But I didn't eat any."
"You have a bit right" she took a bit from the bowl and put it on his nose. "here."
He smiled.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, you have here too." He put a bit on her cheek.
"And you here." She fought back.
They started throwing it at each other.
Lily was just about to throw a huge bit on James when she fell on his lap.
For a second there was silence.
"Why didn't I discovered you before Potter?"
"That's a very good question Evans."
"I think we should make up for the lost time."
"Agreed."
He kissed her.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he started playing with her hair.
"Mmm." Lily said after they broke apart. "It tastes even better this way."
At about two o'clock in the morning they made their way back to the common room.
"I" Lily gave him a small kiss. "Had a lovely time with you Potter."
"Same here Evans."
They shared one last kiss and each went to his dorm.
James went to his room quietly.
He opened the curtains to his bed and jumped from surprise.
"Padfoot, you scared me!" He told his best friend, who was sitting on his bed.
"And you me." Sirius answered. "Two o'clock Prongs? I imagine it wasn't a prank."
James shook his head happily.
"Who's the lucky girl?"
James rolled his eyes.
"Would you believe me?"
"What is she a Slytherin?!"
"Hell no! Exactly the opposite."
"Who?"
"Lily Evans."
Sirius's face split into a huge grin.
"About time."
James was puzzled - that was not the reaction he expected.
"What?"
"Prongs, you and her were the only ones in this bloody school who didn't see it."
"Really??"
"God! You were so blind."
"I was, was I? She's great! I really don't see why I hated her all these years."
"Well," Sirius said. "Things are going to be very different from now on."
He got up from James's bed and went to his own.
"Goodnight Padfoot."
"Goodnight Prongs."
Lily went to her bed.
She was just about to fall asleep when she saw a blinding light in her face.
"Tell us everything you know."
Lily rolled her eyes and moved her friend's three lighting wands.
"Don't you ever stop the investigation?"
Kathleen, Anne and Emily shook their heads.
"No, especially when one of our best friends comes back in the middle of the night form Merlin knows where."
Lily sat up.
"Ok, ok I'll tell you."
"Boy?" the investigation started.
Nod.
"Kiss?"
Shy nod.
"Sweet?"
Nod.
"Hot?"
Nod.
"Nice?"
Nod.
"Charming?"
Nod.
"Funny?"
Nod.
"Who???"
Lily waited for a second.
"James Potter."
For a few second the others didn't really seem to get it and then-
"WHAT?!"
"Shh!!!" Lily silenced them.
"James Potter?"
"THE James Potter?"
"James Potter, and I quote a certain redhead, 'the most ignorant, no good, pig in the world."
Lily smiled.
"Yes."
The three were shocked.
"When did this happen?"
"Today after transfiguration. We apologized to each other about everything we've done and then we sorta kissed."
Lily blushed.
"And tonight?"
"He made this really sweet, romantic picnic in the kitchens and we talked."
"And?"
"Kissed."
She became even redder.
"Well I'm really tired so I'm off to bed."
Lily got ready for bed.
"Yeah, it's not easy to snog with your biggest rival all night."
Lily threw her pillow at Anne.
"Shut up."
Anne stuck out her tongue.
Lily lay in bed and just before falling asleep she managed to say with a smile:
"My favorite."
A/N Like it? This was a little fluffy chapter, I'm sorry it was too fluffy but I really needed to do it. (It became annoying to make them fight all the time.) I'm really really happy about all the reviews I got, I want to scream.
