Chapter 7: A Misunderstanding

A/n: Thanx for the reviews.

They entered the school and walked straight to Professor Dumbledore's office (since James had been there so often he already knew the password). James gave the password to the gargoyle (I think that is what it is, I'm kinda rusty I haven't read any of the books since the beginning of June), Snickerdoodles (he-he it's my kitty's name).

They entered the darkly lit room. Dumbledore sat at his desk writing. He looked up, at them as they entered and smiled not only because they were there but they were still holding hands.

Dumbledore said," It seems to me my plan worked."

James and Lily didn't say anything.

Dumbledore said," Well I might as well tell you, myself and some of the teachers decided that you needed to learn a lesson with all your bickering. Hagrid got rid of some of the path and I put a magical house up. And it seems to me you found the white flower."

He got up and walked over to them.

Lily said," what do you mean you planned this. We could have gotten lost."

Dumbledore said," no I made sure of that, I put a Dungbear in the forest with a leash to stay in one section of the forest, and put a spell on it so the Dungbear would take you straight to the cottage but only so a student at Hogwarts could see it."

Lily asked," then why did you not see the flower?"

Dumbledore replied," the flower only shows up one day a year with so much light it could blind the human eye. But when you pull it out of the ground the light dulls."

James placed the flower on the desk and said," so the Dungbear was a test, to see if we would help the other."

Dumbledore clarified," yes it was. Thanx for all the help you can go back to your tower now."

James and Lily left the office (still holding hands). They met Sirius on their way back to the Gryffindor Common Room.

Lily was shocked when Sirius didn't look shocked at the fact that they were holding hands. But he quickly said," Lovebirds," with a dreamy look on his face.

Lily rolled her eyes and let go of James's hand and walked the rest of the way to the common room.

After she left Sirius said," good job James, I didn't think you would do it."

James looked at Sirius and said," Sirius I love her."

Sirius asked," What do you mean?"

James said," I love her. I realized it at the cottage, I managed to make her befriend me but then we were playing this game and I realized I loved her and it was the truth, a bug boil grew on my chin after I said I just wanted to be friends with her, and then I told her the truth and it was gone. That was the rule if we lied a big boil would grow on my face."

Sirius was shocked, and pretended to faint. Then got up and said," just messing with you."

Little did they know, Linda had heard part of what they said but just the beginning where Sirius said James had pulled it off.

Linda rushed back to the common room, and quickly found Lily.

"Lily they are playing a joke on you," Linda said quickly.

Lily asked," what do you mean," slightly hurt that her friend did not ask where she was.

"James and Sirius they had a bet that James could get you to go out with him," she said quickly. "Why did you fall for it," she asked?

"We played that truth and dare game and he had to tell the person next to him that he had to tell the person closest to him how he felt about them. But he probably planned the whole thing and found the counter curse," Lily looked sad but did not cry, as James walked in the common room she walked up to him and slapped him across the face.

James whined and said," ouch what was that for."

Lily yelled at him until she was red in the face," don't mess with me James I know about your bet Linda just heard you talking with Sirius. I can't believe you. You disgust me Potter. You probably had this planned. Oh let's get Lily to be my friend and tell her that I love her, and use a counter curse. I hate you."

She ran up to her room ignoring James as he told her it wasn't the truth that Linda heard it wrong.

Sirius went up to Linda and said," why did you lie to her?"

Linda yelled at her while the whole common room stared at their fight," I did not lie to her, I heard you out in the hall Sirius, telling James good job. Then I ran off to tell her. Do you expect to me to lie to Lily and wait until you finally tell her the truth? So you can go tell the school all her secrets. You disgust me, both of you."

Sirius said," you didn't even listen to the whole conversation, did you? James loves her and now look what you did? You ran off and told Lily what he had intended to do."

Linda looked at James who was sitting down on a couch near the fireplace with his knees pulled close to him crying on his knees. The she realized what a fool she was, that taught her to eavesdrop thought the whole conversation instead of still part of it.

Linda sat next to James and hugged him, and said," I'll try to calm her down and tell her the truth, believe me you don't want to be there when she is this mad."

A/n: he-he cliffi. Please review maybe I'll get time to post tomorrow it all depend on my homework.
