Wow!! I got reviews. I have a lot of them (in my opinion and for me). This is half of what I got for my other story which was five times longer than this one. That is so cool! My writing is improving!
Okay people. Thank you for your reviews. I should be doing my homework, but since you all made me so happy, you get the third chapter! ^_^
Oh, to clarify things, their university months of school are from September to March. Weird, but they have less months of school this way. Thus they have more years. They have five months off of school in a year! (Don't forget weekends)
More Than Just Harry
Chapter 3: Cough Drops for the Non-Sickly
"We perceive when love begins and when it declines by our embarrassment when alone together."
-La Bruyere
"Why did you choose me to be the donor again?" asked James for the twentieth time that hour. It was a hot day in July, four months after graduation. The house was empty except for Lily and James. It was a Saturday, so everyone was off from work. The rest of the gang had taken the opportunity for a break, and they had headed down to the shopping center for air conditioning. It was an excuse since the house was air conditioned too.
"I'm trying to concentrate here," replied Lily not looking up from the potion she was brewing. Her hair was put in a bun to avoid getting any of her hair into the potion. She had the patience of a teacher and grandparent. After being asked the same thing so many times, she still wasn't angry or annoyed.
"Just answer me. Why didn't you choose Remus or Sirius?"
Lily sighed. "I chose you, James, because you have the best genes. I don't want the child to be an idiot like Sirius. I don't feel comfortable in this situation with Remus, plus the fact his IQ is still too low. That leaves you. Plus, I'm only 5''4. Your height isn't as tall as Sirius's, but it's tolerable. If you're six feet, the child should be at least 5"8. That's not bad. You're not bad looking either. There's the whole athletic thing. I just hope the kid's ego won't be as inflated as yours," Lily explained.
"Thanks. I knew I was... Hey! My ego is NOT inflated!" James protested. "You're just saying that because my ass is nicer than yours."
"Like I wanna look down there," muttered Lily.
"So, how are we gonna..."James trailed off.
"The potion. I am not doing it the muggle way. Taking out an egg from me, fertilizing it, then putting it back in only gives the baby a higher chance for birth defects. He or she already has to deal with fighting against their father's demented part of the gene pool. The potion is the only way besides..." Lily stopped there. She didn't feel comfortable saying it, but she didn't turn red from insinuating the thought. James and her had talked about perverted things all the time.
"I see... How do I help?" asked James. He was completely comfortable with Lily.
"Just put sperm or something in the potion. I have to drink it. The potion then fertilizes an egg inside me with your sperm and genetic coding. I'm supposed to get my period next week, so I can get pregnant."
"Ewwww!" James mockingly screamed. "That's like or-"
"Grow up! You call me immature?"
James grabbed a chopstick from Lily's hair, causing her red hair to tumble down in waves to her waist. "I got your chop stick!" He stuck out his tongue.
"Give that back to me!"
"No way!"
James ran out of the kitchen and into the living room, closely followed by Lily. She got frustrated at James. The red head pounced onto James, sending both adults onto the white, clean carpet. Lily was on top of James. "Give me it."
James flipped Lily over so that he was on her back. She was in a crouching position. His hand with the chopstick was underneath Lily in her grip. She yanked out the transparent, rhinestone studded stick, wriggled free from under James, and stood up triumphantly.
"I'll let you go this time," said James. He watched her pull the other useless chopstick from her hair. The pair of chopsticks were placed on the nearby counter. The duo plopped down in a soft, red velvet sofa breathlessly next to each other and Lily's pocket book which was messily thrown there.
"The potion doesn't take effect until three months after the day it was drunk. The baby will be born in the same month as the potion was drunk the next year. You better put your sperm in-" Lily was interrupted.
"Shh," James whispered gently as if to a baby. Lily fell silent. James was thinking. Often, he would tell her to calm down with a simple "shh", and they would sit in silence. This is exactly what was happening.
James sat there thinking. Lily voluntarily moved closer to James. He cuddled closer to her in response. Her head found the perfect spot on James's shoulder. Automatically, his head leaned toward hers, so his cheek was on her head feeling the silky texture of her hair. It tickled him slightly. They had done this many times before, so he was used to it. At this point, James and Lily were absolutely comfortable with each other, whether they were alone or with others. To others they looked like a couple when they held hands or hugged each other in public, but to them, their actions were just friendly.
Lily's hands found their way around James as she rotated to her left. Her face was now fully against James's shoulder instead of just her cheek. She was slightly on top of him. James began to play with Lily's hair.
After a few minutes of silence, Lily began to cough. She popped a cough drop from her pocket book into her mouth.
"What's that?" asked James.
"A muggle remedy for coughs. It's a cough drop."
"Can I have one?"
"You're not coughing."
James faked a cough.
"Fine, you can have one." Lily gave him one. "I have to go to the bathroom. Please somehow get your sperm in there." Lily pointed to the cauldron in the kitchen.
"Yes, mommy," replied James in a falsely high voice.
Lily glared at him, and she stomped off to the downstairs bathroom.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ten minutes later, Lily came back into the living room. She took so long because someone had forgot to get more toilet paper after the roll was finished. Lily had to march up to one of the third floor bathrooms, come back down, change the roll, then use the bathroom. James was sitting on the red couch.
Lily walked over to the cauldron. It was a white color meaning that James had done his part. She was happy. Grabbing a nearby mug, Lily ladled a cupful of the cold liquid into it. She drank the whole thing in ten seconds since it tasted so bad. Knowing it was from James made her want to vomit. The rest of the potion went down the drain just in case Sirius came home thirsty.
Lily came back into the living room to find James eating something.
"What are you eating?"
"A cough drop."
"You went through my pocket book?!"
"So what?"
"You're not even sick!"
"But they taste good!"
Lily sighted. She was going to get help from this guy, James Harold Potter, for the next nineteen months with her pregnancy and baby? What was she thinking?
A. N. -What do you think? It was bad wasn't it? Gross too...
Please review! If I get 20 reviews, I'll update on the day. If I don't get that many by Thursday, I'll update on Saturday. Fridays are days when I sleep and hang out with MY guy friend.
In the second chapter, the James senses tingling was actually a line my friend always says. Also the cough drop event happened except I didn't drink anything. All I did was go to the bathroom and he went through my purse! Evil...... The lines are the same, he ate my cough drop.....More evil...
Now I must do my homework. I procrastinated all weekend... Again...... -_-'
Homework is evil......
