Chapter Three: Breakfast
James leaned over Lily and kissed her with so much passion that it took her breath away. He pulled away slowly, letting the
kiss linger for a few more seconds. He looked down at her with those beautiful brown eyes of his, so full of love, so full of
hunger.
"Lily, I love you. I never want to stop kissing you. I won't ever let you go."
"Oh, James, I love you, too...!" Lily smiled up at him and she felt tears of happiness weld up in her eyes.
"But, my love... doesn't it bother you?"
"What?"
"That this is only a dream."
Lily woke up in a cold sweat. What a nightmare! Her confessing her love to James! She promised herself that she would never,
ever do that. 'Oh, God, and I have to sit with him at breakfast in...' she looked at her clock, 'three minutes!'
"Bella! Why didn't you wake me up?! I can't be late to breakfast! It's going to be my second impression on James!"
Apparently Bella hadn't woken up either. "Hu...? Wha' 'bout James?" she asked groggily.
"Bella! We need to be at the Great Hall in three minutes!"
"Why? Breakfast isn't served until 7:30. It's only... 6:58? Lily, why are you waking me up this early?"
"Just get dressed!" And Lily threw Bella's school uniform on top of her; Lily was already dressed. Bella did a moan of
protest but knew better than to argue with Lily.

Lily raced down to the hall with Bella dragging along behind. The only thought that kept Bella going was the known fact that
there would be coffee. Of course it would be at the teacher's table but Professor McGonagle had taken a liking for her and
always gave her a cup.
Once they reached the double doors to the Great Hall, Lily stopped dead in her tracks and Bella caught up with her, half way
bent over, catching her breath. "Lily, promise me... you'll never... do that... again." She panted.
"Make yourself look smart. We're about to make a second impression."
"I thought it was the first impressions that counted." Bella asked, straightening herself up.
"Yes, it is, but I made a really bad first impression so I'm going to have to make it up."
"And how are you supposed to do that?" A tenor voice asked behind her.
Lily gasped and turned around. "James!"
"I saw you two running down the hall. What's the hurry? In that big of a rush to see me?" and he gave the girls a wink.
Lily, despite herself, blushed. "Of course not. I just don't like to keep my company waiting. But it seems that it wouldn't
have made that big of a difference considering that you just got here."
"Indeed... shall we go inside?" James asked while holding up the door for the two of them. It was then when Lily noticed that
Remus and Sirius weren't there.
"Where's the other two?"
"Who, Remus and Sirius? They'll, uh... be down in a few minutes. Remus had to... wake up Sirius. He's a hard sleeper and
Remus has a certain 'touch' to get him awake that I don't have." James looked a tiny bit flustered but kept his cool well.
"I see..." Lily answered and walked inside with Bella and James following. "Where do you guys usually sit? I tend to block
out the world while I'm at breakfast, reading the Daily Prophet, so I don't really see where everyone else sits."
"Oh, right over here," and he took a seat. Lily debated on whether to sit next to him or across from him. If she sat next to
him, he was able to put his arm around her, kiss her, and other stuff. However, if she were sitting across from him, he was
able to stare at her and play footsie with her. Ooh, the choices. "Come sit next to me," James said, while patting the seat
next to him. Ok, so that got rid of choice B. She took his offer and Bella already walked around to the other side and sat
across from Lily.
"Oh, shyt... Professor McGonagle's not year yet..." Bella whimpered, desperately wanting her coffee. "Lily, please, never
wake me up this early again," She said as she put her head down on the table and closed her eyes. "McGonagle's not even here
yet and she's an early bird. She even had the right mind to wake up at 7:15."
"Um, Bella, you only woke up fifteen minutes later than usual." Lily said.
"That's fifteen minutes of extra sleep that I could of gotten!" Bella groaned and put her arms under her head for support.
"Hey, James." Remus and Sirius came over to the table. "Oh, hi, Lily and Bella. I didn't know you'd be with us this morning."
Remus smiled a warm smile.
Remus sat down on the other side of James and Sirius walked over to the other side and sat next to Bella. "Hey, sleepy
head," Sirius said, while petting her head. (A/N: I'm a poet and I-forget it. Haha)
"Mm..." Bella said while smiling contently.
"Bella loves it when people pet her head. She's in love with cats so much that she acts like one. Haha You should hear her
purr!" Lily laughed. And just on cue, Bella purred.
"Whoa! That's great! It sounds like a real cat!" Sirius said with amazement. Always the easily amused, that one.
Lily then noticed Professor McGonagle walk into the Great Hall. "Oh, Bella, your coffee is here."
She immediately popped her head up. "Coffee?? Where??" She stood up quickly and sped-walked over to Professor McGonagle.
"Hm, coffee? I've never had it..." Sirius said with interest.
"I don't think you would need it with all the natural energy you have," Remus said with a smile towards Sirius. Sirius smiled
back.
"So how about some breakfast!" James said a bit loudly and grabbed a bowl of oatmeal and cinnamon to sprinkle on top.
"Oatmeal and cinnamon! I love that!" Lily said and got the same thing, along with orange juice, two pieces of toast with
strawberry jam, and a banana.
"A bit hungry?" James asked with a glance towards her food at the same time Bella came back with her coffee.
"Breakfast is the most important meal a day. Studying, doing work, and thinking hard takes a lot of out me so I need all the
energy I can get." Lily said.
Bella took a long sip from her steaming black coffee. "Oh, yeah, that's the stuff. Hits the right spot every time."
"I bet I could hit a good spot, too, if you'd let me," Sirius said in a husky voice and put arm around her.
Bella blushed a bright red. "Whoa, watch it there, paddie! Talk about getting to know each other a bit too quickly." The rest
of the group laughed. The breakfast went on cheerfully with lots of talking, flirtings, and laughs. Before they knew it,
they had to be off to their first class.
As they were leaving the hall, James pulled Lily aside and since they were walking in the back, none of the others noticed.
"Can I see you again after dinner?" James asked
"Um... I'm not sure..."
"Just come up into my dorm and we can figure out something to do there."
"What? James, I told you, I don't-" a finger was put to her lips to silence her.
"I promise I won't take advantage of you. I like you. I just feel most comfortable in my room. There are chairs in there so
we don't have to sit on my bed. Plus, I don't like the common room that much. Too many pip squeaks." He took his finger off
her lips and she surprisingly missed the feeling.
"Do you promise not to pull any fast ones?"
"Yes." He looked sincere.
"Alright. But I can't stay too late. I have homework to do."
"Just like you had some last night?" He asked with a mischievous look in his eye.
"How did you know..." Lily was confused.
"I'm just good like that," he said with a low chuckle. There it was again! She got those goose bumps, just like last night.
Why was he making her feel this way?
"I just don't want to stay that long." She said honestly.
"I understand. You can leave at anytime you feel uncomfortable."
"Thank you for understanding," Lily smiled.
James grinned back, "Hey, that's what I do best!"
"I think we need to be going to our classes." And they started their way to charms.
"Lily?" James asked while walking through the hall.
"Yes?"
"May I hold your hand?" Lily blushed. That was possibly the sweetest thing anyone has ever asked her.
"Um, sure..." He slipped his hand underneath hers and intertwined his fingers. His hand was so warm; it warmed her cold
fingers right up. She loved the feeling. He felt so strong, so secure. Lily started to anticipate the evening's date.
