James +Lily: A love story about James and Lily. By ~Misty~
Lily lay her exhausted head on her pillow and fell asleep.

"Lily! Wait up!" James yelled as Lily turned the corner, an annoyed Lily spun around to meet him. "Couldn't you hold up a minute? You've been acting really strange ever since last night, Lily what's the matter?" James asked for about the thousandth time.
"I'm fine, just a little stressed, I've got to get to the library, um, the potions project you know, I need more length to the essay," Lily said.
"Lily! I saw yours this morning, it was ten feet long! You only needed three feet!" James exclaimed.
"Well, yes, I've got to go, see you later," Lily answered hastily turning into the library. Ever since the forbidden forest Lily had been coming to the library trying to find out what and who the mysterious woman was, she wanted to see if there was such a being as she saw in the forest that night. She rushed to a previous section of books about spirits and took out two more books of the shelf 'Mysterious Spirits' and 'Legendary Ghosts.' Lily began flipping through the 'Legendary Ghosts' book until suddenly she saw a picture of a human girl, who looked almost exactly like the woman she'd seen only yesterday! The story was the legend of 'The Amulet of Hogwarts and the Dark Lord' Lily began to read.
The Amulet of Hogwarts and the Dark Lord
A long time ago, four powerful wizards built a school called Hogwarts to teach young wizards and witches and stand against the Dark Arts. Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin. But soon a dark wizard named Heriton grew in power and used his black magic to destroy the lives of anyone who didn't serve him. One day he attacked the house of a powerful witch named Elana, killing her parents and her younger brother. Elana enchanted her most treasured necklace, a pale blue diamond, with the spirits of the Hogwarts mascots: the Gryffindor lion, the Hufflepuff badger, the Ravenclaw eagle, and the Slytherin serpent. The Dark Lord Heriton coveted this powerful amulet, so he attacked the young witch with all his forces of evil; werewolves, giants, banshees, basilisks, and many more terrifying creatures. But Elana hid the Amulet of Hogwarts in a special place that one could enter but her and those she allowed. Her protective spells could be broken only by very powerful dark magic, such as Heriton possessed, but the Amulet remained hidden, and Elana fought the Dark Lord for the rest of her days. The Amulet remains hidden, and Elana's spirit lives on to protect it.
Lily gasped as she read another paragraph below, it said:
Elana lives on in the forbidden forest right by Hogwarts with herself and three other ghosts to ensure that the Amulet stays hidden and protected. That is all that we could find, she takes on the shape of a green misty ghost, she can disappear at any time that she chooses.
Lily was very shaken and confused, why did this spirit call her the guardian? Was the ghost she'd seen Elana? Was she really this guardian Elana said she was? These questions clouded Lily's mind as she took out the book and ran down the hall, running smack dab into James.
"Oh, I'm very sorry James, see you in the common room," Lily apologized as she ran off towards the Gryffindor common room, leaving James staring bewilderedly at her back. Lily raced to the Gryffindor tower and through the portrait hole after giving the password (Giddy-Godric) and took a seat on a poof by the fire. James burst into the common room, a look of complete confusion on his face.
"Lily, what the heck is going on?" James demanded sitting on a poof right by her.
"Nothing, it's just the forbidden forest kind of gave me the creeps," Lily said.
"Well, yeah, it's pretty creepy, but still you don't have to brush me off like that, it's like you were still mad at me or something," James said.
"I know and I'm sorry, don't you have a Quidditch match against Ravenclaw tomorrow?" Lily asked.
"Yeah," James said.
"Well, then I'll come to that, I promise, but I just want to get some work done, before tomorrow," Lily said looking into his angry green eyes, the anger seeped away.
"Fine, but I'm going to hold you to that," James said smiling. Lily nodded and smiled, for the first time in days she felt really happy around James, but something was missing. Lily frowned, what could it be?
"Well, want a game of chess?" James asked.
"Um, no, I'm going up to bed, goodnight James," Lily said rushing up the stairs to the her dormitory. She shut the door and jumped onto her bed.
"Hey, Lily, have you been at the library all today?" Abrella asked.
"Practically, It's just I saw a type of creature in the forbidden forest and I was wondering what it was, I was just doing a little research," Lily lied, she hated lying to Abrella, but she had to.
"Oh, well tomorrows the Quidditch match, you're going right? I mean it means a lot to James and if you were to miss it…" Abrella rambled.
"Don't worry, I wouldn't miss James' Quidditch match for the world, you know that!" Lily exclaimed climbing into bed.
"Well, lately I'm not too sure," Abrella remarked.
"Well I wouldn't, goodnight Abrella, see you tomorrow," Lily said yawning.
"Goodnight, Lily," Abrella said quietly, dousing the candle. Lily put her head on the pillow, but her mind still raced and she stayed awake well into the night, then finally she fell asleep at five in the morning.
~*~
"Wake up Lily! The match is about to start! Wow, you look really awful!" Abrella said with concern.
"Oh thanks! What a greeting!" Lily laughed as she pulled back the covers and hurriedly got dressed. She took a quick look in the mirror, under her eyes were purple puffy bags and her hair looked frightful.
"I told you so, but hurry were going to be late!" Abrella chided pushing Lily through the door. They ran to the field to see the Gryffindor team already up in the air, Lily waved at James and he waved back. "Hurry!" Abrella urged her, they climbed up to the top of the tall bleachers where Remus had saved them seats.
"Thanks Remus!" Lily exclaimed plopping down onto the metal bench beside Remus "Um Remus, are you okay?"
"You mean last night? I had a few brusies but I'm ok," Remus answered in a barely audible voice.
"Lazy bones kept us otherwise we would've been here earlier," Abrella said.
"Thanks," Lily said dryly.
"Hush you two! The match is about to start!" Remus exclaimed. The ravenclaw team was up in the air and Frank Longbottom was announcing the players.
"And Gryffindor is in possession Johnny Banks tosses it to Darren Wilkins who passes the quaffel to Jerry Simons who… scores!" Frank yelled and a great roar came from the Gryffindor side. "What's that?… the snitch and James Potter goes after it and yeah! He gets it! Gryffindor wins with the scores of 160 points to zero!" Frank announced joyfully. James flew to the ground the Gryffindor team congratulated him. Lily ran down the steps knocking people out of her way.
"Oh James! Excellent job! Awesome flying!" Lily exclaimed hugging James. Lily looked up to see James staring at her, a dreamy look on his face. "James what's the matter?" Lily asked anxiously.
"Wow, Lil, you're really beautiful," James whispered as he lowered his head level with hers. Suddenly James pressed his lips to Lily's and they locked into a passionate kiss.
Yea! They finally kiss! And you see a connection to my other story, Harry Potter and The Amulet of Hogwarts. Sorry about the wait on this chapter, but I had an extreme writer block on this story! Thanks for waiting! Please tell me what you think! If the Fido problem pops up and you can't review and you want to tell me something just e-mail me at kb_121@yahoo.com. Thanks! ~Misty~
