(A/N, Well my layout didn't work, any ideas? I'm really sorry you had to
wait so long, I've been taking tests for school ^^I messed them up!^^ and I
didn't have time to write, sorry.
gwvixen21, I can't say anything but thank you for being an incredible and faithful reader. You were the first person to review my story and that really makes you special. ^^God I'm getting gushy, but I mean it!^^ Your reviews always count for two!
Piggylette, You're absolutely right! Screw them! And as for Lucius Malfoy; I know what I want to happen to him but I don't know how to introduce it to the story without it seeming too obvious, I want it to be a slip-of-the- tongue kind of thing, so bear with me please, it just wouldn't do to simply put it in an A/N. And thank you!
Maddy Nicola Snape, Nice new name btw, and thank you!
Sugarmama, Thank you! I think you read my mind or something!
Blue eyes, Wow! Thank you, I can make this as erotic as you want it to, but I don't want it to be a sex-only story, so it's a bit of a fine line to walk as I really want it to have a good plot as well.
The Lady Lillian, Thanks for your ideas, I think I'm going to involve the Marauders and Lily's friends a bit more later on, but I don't know if I'm going to make them date each other. You made me laugh there btw, talk about hints!
LaminaCourt, Thanks for your confidence, as a matter of fact I did. good luck with your own story!
Blink189, Thanks, I'm glad I didn't scare you away with my last reply!
Bridget, Evangeline and Elemental Darkness thanks loads for your reviews! Btw, I'm glad everyone liked "I dreamed a dream", should I include more songs and perhaps rhymes? I like it but that's because I'm a fanatic about Lord of the Rings rhymes ^^I've committed about fifteen to memory.^^ and songs like "Fields of God" and others.)

Chapter 14, Of bath time bliss and ancient clothes
When James woke up it was a little past one in the afternoon, mentally shaking his head at his ability to sleep in this abysmally he turned around to wake Lily, only to find she wasn't there. He sat up and looked around, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. When he was fully awake he heard splashing sounds in the bathroom, so he got out of bed, threw his pyjamas on and walked to and opened the door. He was greeted with the sight of Lily swimming in the small swimming pool-sized bath. He sat on the closed toilet- seat and watched her for a while.
It was quite some time before she noticed him, and when she did she asked, with exaggerated politeness; 'Care to join me?'
'Aye Milady.' He joked.
'I see "Milord" finally decided to get up; I thought for a while you were going to sleep for ever.' She smiled while he pulled his pyjamas off again. 'James wait, don't ...' Too late; she shrieked with laughter as the waves hit her. '... jump in.' When he came up spluttering indignantly she had to hold on to the side of the pool for support to keep from drowning as she was laughing too hard to keep on swimming.
'Why, in the name of all that's holy, is the water freezing cold?'
The only answer he got was hysterical laughter, 'You should have seen your face ...'
When she'd recovered a bit she said; 'You know I like cold water in the morning to wake up.'
Still a bit disgruntled but now used to the shock of the cold water, he said; 'May I remind you it's one fifteen in the afternoon?'
'Don't be so grumpy! C'mon, I'll race you to the other side to warm you up.'
'All right.'
When James had reached Lily at the side of the pool she began counting down; 'Three, two, one, GO!'
After five races and a water fight they emerged from the pool shivering and with their lips turning blue. Fortunately James found some bathrobes and slippers as their pyjamas were soaked from their splashing around during the water fight. The strange thing was, the floor was cork-dry, as if the water had been absorbed right through the tiles, while their pyjamas were sopping wet, but they dismissed it as one of the oddities of Hogwarts.
They walked to the central room and sat down almost dangerously close to the fireplace to warm up.
After about fifteen minutes the shivering stopped and they looked around for their clothes only to remember they'd gotten there clad in their pyjamas only.
'This is just wonderful! We can't go up to the castle in bathrobes! Why didn't we remember to bring robes? Or at the very least cloaks? We can't stay here; they'd be worried sick and if we do go back we'll never be able to look anyone in the face again, oh bloody hell!
'Didn't know you could swear like that Lil, but you can stop yelling, these are Gryffindor's living quarters, remember? There's bound to be some of his and his wife's clothing here.'
Lily's sour mood evaporated like snow on a sunny day, 'Let's find it then, I've always wanted to try medieval clothing.' Then she wrinkled her nose, 'I could do without the corset though.'
After scouring the room they still hadn't found any clothing; Lily was slipping back into her sour mood when James suddenly said, 'We still haven't looked behind door number three Lil, come on!'
Lily only realised what he was talking about when he pulled her through the door left of the one that opened into the passageway that still gave her the creeps.
After a few minutes Lily had regained enough presence of mind to close her gaping mouth and shoot a death glare at James who was sniggering at her reaction and dumb folded expression.
'Big, isn't it?' He said casually.
Still not entirely sure her eyes weren't deceiving her she could only nod helplessly. She looked around again, taking in her surroundings breathlessly; big was an understatement, the place was HUGE. There probably were enough dresses to clothe the entire female population of the Gryffindor Tower twice, and it looked like Godric Gryffindor's side of the "closet" held just as much or even more clothing.
'Well, don't just stand there! Let's see if their clothing fits.'
Lily selected a few medieval gowns at random and tried them on, 'I think Gryffindor's wife had about the same figure I do, it's a perfect fit. Look!' She'd just finished buttoning up the blue gown and walked to his side.
'May I have the honour of escorting thee to the Hogwarts castle, Milady? I will protect thy person from rude insults forasmuch as thou art the most beautiful lady on life.' He said, smiling extravagantly.
'Of course you may, but where on earth did you learn to speak like that, James?'
'Ah my Lady, knowest thou not that a poet doth lurk beneath the most common of exteriors?'
'Charlatan.' She laughed, linking arms with him.
'It's sort of fun you know, once you learn how to wrap your tongue around all the thees, thous, doths and forasmuches.' He said, falling back into normal English.
They continued the jokes and ancient speech until they stood in front of the Hogwarts castle, quite nervous.
(A/N, I said so much in the previous A/N that I haven't got a clue about what to put in this one, except that I really want to know how to make things bold and stuff like that, so if you know how please tell me. I really hope you'll review this chapter as I put a lot of work in it ^^My mother's furious with me for neglecting my homework, but I practically live on this story, I work on it every day for an hour at the least!^^, see you!)
Bye! -xxx- ies Polgara.
