Chapter 23

"James where are you taking me?" Lily said desperately. James fingers dug into her wrist as he dragged her down the street. Lily realised he was taking her to the leaky cauldron. The rain was still pouring and there was the occasional thunder an lightning. Lily was drenched as she was only wearing her dress. James pulled her into the bar and then up the stairs to what she presumed was his room. He flung her down onto the bed.

"James what the hell was that?" she asked angrily rubbing her wrist were his fingers had left a mark. He sat down beside her and sneaked an arm around her waist. He came close to her so their faces were only inches apart.

"Lily I never want to loose you again." he whispered in her ear. He kissed her. All Lily could think about were James lips. The way that they were so soft against hers. She suddenly came crashing back down to reality.

"Don't." she murmured, and her hand pushed weakly against his chest. James looked at her shocked that she had pushed him away.

"What's wrong."

"I just want to make sure that you never hurt me again."

"Oh lily." he muttered. His face crumpled. "I never ever set out to hurt you. I love you Lily. I never want to loose you." Lily nodded slowly and James lips closed over hers. She caught her breath as his body pressed her down onto the bed. After an endless kiss James looked down at her and smiled.

"I'm glad you came after me tonight." he whispered

*********************************************************************

"Damn!" Sirius shouted banging his fist on the table.

"hey Padfoot cool it or else we will get kicked out of the pub." Remus said quietly.

"I'm sorry man, but I can't believe she went after him."

"she loves him Sirius. she can deny it all she wants, but I think she has always known deep down that she loved him."

"Oh god but she's just so beautiful!" Sirius exclaimed running his hands through his hair.

"she is. but she isn't yours." Sirius sighed and leant his head back so he was leaning against the chair head.

"But how can James get her, he was a twat to her and he still gets her back."

"Padfoot honestly, you'll get over Lily. You are with loads of different girls. I don't see why you are so worked up about Lily."

"She was different."

"I know she's one hell of a girl but she isn't yours. It's not meant to be with her. If it was you would have her by now."

"You're right. but I'm still mad with James. I can't believe the way he acted back there."

"He's in love with her. Breaking up with Lily crushed him. You know that. He couldn't just sit back and let his best friend kiss her."

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Look all you have got to worry about now is finding Lily and James because she is supposed to be staying at yours tonight and your mum will go mad if you turn up without her,"

"Do we have to go and find them they're probably having sex somewhere."

"Oh great now I have a mental image thanks a lot."

*********************************************************************

"Lils?" James said quietly to her while stroking her hair.

"mmmm." she said back.

"We need to take you back to the others. They probably think I've kidnapped you or something." Lily pulled herself up and yawned. James got up and hugged her tightly.

"Where are you supposed to be staying tonight? Are you going home?"

"no I'm supposed to be staying at Sirius's."

"Oh ok." James replied looking to the ground.

"Don't worry you'll make it up with Sirius." Lily reassured him.

"God, I can't believe he kissed you." He said angrily pulling away out of Lily's arms and started pacing the room.

"It was a mistake."

"Yeah but I'm his best mate and he kissed the girl he knew I loved. He knew how jealous I got when any lad went near you. I just can't believe he did it."

"come on." Lily said grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the room.

"Where are we going?"

"To find Sirius you guys need to make up."

"ok then. erm...Lily?"

"What?" she asked turning around to face him. He leant down and kissed her.

"So are you my girlfriend again?"

"yeah I am." she answered smiling.
