This is the fourth chapter of Take Me To My Bliss. Thank you all who are sticking with my story! I am nowhere nears done. :-D
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, but J.K. Rowling owns me. : )
Summary: Lily Evans has heard all the rumors about James Potter being a player, but she doesn't believe in them until she is
another victim to his teasing. The characters are stereotypical: Lily is smart and a perfectionist and James is a sex-fanatic
with good grades.
Take Me To My Bliss
By Guard Girl
Chapter Four: Boy's Dormitory
Lily could barely concentrate in her classes. How could she when she had her second (she liked to think of it as her first)
date with James Potter after dinner? She just wanted this day to be done and over with! But of course, those days when you
want to go quickly just seemed to drag along. She swore that she saw the minute hand in her History of Magic class spin
backwards twice. But maybe that wasn't all that weird considering this was a magical castle where the staircases moved and
there was a poltergeist all over the place.
So there Lily was, tapping both her foot and her pencil impatiently, watching the minute hand go backwards and forwards until
the bell finally rang to signify lunch. She grabbed her stuff and shoved it all in her bag and quickly walked out of the
classroom in hopes that her fast actions would help move the day along faster.
"Hey, where's the big hurry?" Bella called after her.
"This day needs to be done and over with." Lily fumed.
"What? Why? What happened when James pulled you over after breakfast? Was it that bad?" Bella tugged on Lily's arm to slow
her down.
"No, actually he invited me to... this is going to sound bad, but he invited me to go to his dorm." Bella's eyes were about
as wide as her mouth. "But! I told him that I didn't want to move fast and he said that at any time I felt uncomfortable, I
could leave. He said we didn't even have to sit in his bed."
Bella wiped the fish look off her face and asked, "But why not just go down to the common room?"
"He says he doesn't like the 'pip squeaks,' which I assume are the younger kids." Lily said, while twirling a strand of her
hair.
Bella noticed her actions. "Are you nervous?" As long as Bella had known Lily, she always had things under control. She knew
exactly what was going to happen, how it was going to happen, and when it was going to end. But she's never had a boyfriend
and they can be quite random at times.
"I guess... I just don't know what to expect." Lily admitted truthfully, dropping the strand of hair.
"Well, when is it?"
"After dinner."
"I know! I can help you get ready so it can relive some of that stress building inside!"
"Please, no make-up, you know that I break out when you put it on. Plus I don't want him finding me any more attractive to
give him any hints that I might want to take things further."
"I understand. So we'll put you in Granny's Sunday best, including the bonnet, along with some rose perfume and bright pink
lipstick." Lily looked horrified. "I'm kidding!" and they both laughed. They hadn't even realized that they arrived at the
Great Hall; their feet just took them there on their own.
Lily spotted James waving his arms, motioning for her to come sit where they had sat earlier that morning.
"Hey! So much for arriving on time, Ms. Punctual." James grinned.
"Sorry, Bella wanted to talk to me." Lily said, taking a seat next to James, leaving a good five inches between them.
Sirius then put his elbow on the table and rested his head on his palm and said, "Ah, yes, the Lady Arabella... please sit
next to me," he said in a suave voice. Bella laughed with a confused sort of look on her face, but obligated.
Lunch went fine with cold deli meat sandwiches accompanied by laughs and talks. Throughout the meal, Lily caught James gazing
over to her in the corner of her eye but when she looked his way, he turned his head. She, too, caught herself staring at him.
She scolded herself inside her head for acting so rude.
Once lunch was finished, they all headed outside for Care of Magical Creatures. The lesson passed in slug-time and finally,
the last class of the day. Potions. Greeeaaat...
Potions weren't as bad as Lily thought it would be. They were assigned seats for their lab and Lily was assigned to sit with
Remus. They made each other laugh, maybe too much since they got glares from the Potion's Master. After ten points being
taken away from Gryffindor for "disrupting the class," thanks to Lily and Remus, they all headed off to dinner of steak and
baked potatoes.
**
Lily could barely concentrate on her food, her stomach full of butterflies. Why was he making her feel this way? All he did
was ask her to come up to his dorm- the same room he sleeps in every night and probably has taken many girls up to, and done
many other private things. She felt herself getting light headed.
Someone kicked her leg from across from her. She looked up and saw Bella nudging her food towards her. She mouthed, "eat" and
gave her a stern look. Bella always took the role of the mother when Lily started to not eat properly. It's happened before,
but nervousness from Final Exams or one of her friends may have been injured, never nervousness from a boy.
He's just male! There's nothing special about James! He shouldn't be affecting her in this way! Lily stabbed her still
steaming steak with her fork and cut into it and the juices flowed out. She took the piece to her mouth and started to chew.
Yeah, that was good stuff. She opened up her baked potato and put butter, salt and pepper on to it. Taking a fork-full to
her mouth, she munched on that. Finally she felt her appetite coming back to her and she cleaned her plate. (A/N~ I think I'm
getting hungry. Haha)
When she looked over to James on her right, he was getting up to leave. He bent over to her and whispered in her ear, "I'll
see you in an hour." That's when she felt all the food she just ate start to rise in her throat. She swallowed it down and
forced herself to nod.
When they left, Bella asked, "What did he say? What did he say? You're all flushed!"
"Am I? Oh... I hope I'm not sick..."
"You're not sick, silly! You're just blushing! So, what did he say?"
"He said, 'I'll see you in an hour' in my ear." Lily said, staring at her empty plate.
"Good! That gives us enough time for you to get ready! Let's go!" Bella said, taking her arm and dragging Lily out of the
Great Hall.
**
Bella dragged Lily all the way up to their dorms where Bella sat Lily on her bed and she started to go through Lily's clothes.
"Don't you have anything to wear on a date?" Bella asked, digging through her drawers.
"Um, hold on, let me see if I can find something," Lily said while knelling down in front of her dresser drawers. She picked
out a simple flower print skirt that would reach her knees and a white V-neck t-shirt.
"Yeah, that's nice... I guess... I think we can make up the simplicity of it by doing something with your hair... and maybe
some jewelry." Bella said.
Lily got changed as Bella found a silver flower necklace in her own drawers and a pair of regular stud earrings. She then
pulled out a piece of white fabric. "We can pull your hair half-back and put this in as a bow."
"That's cute!" Lily said, while putting on her panty hose. She fished out her white canvases and put on the jewelry. She sat
on her bed as Bella got Lily's brush and started to brush her hair.
"Uh-oh..." Bella said.
"What?" Lily asked, getting a bit scared.
"Your curls are coming out when I brush them..." Bella stopped brushing.
"Oh. Don't worry about that. They always come back." Lily said, breathing a sigh of relief.
Bella did her hair, making the bow puffy and lent Lily her perfume.
"Aw, Lily, you look so cute!"
Lily blushed and replied, "Thank you."
Bella walked over to Lily and gave her a hug. "Have fun, Daughter."
"I'll try, Mother." Lily said and they both laughed. She checked her watch. Just on time! She left her dorms, walked down the
stairs then back up the stairs to the boy's dorms.
**
When she got there, she realized she didn't know which one was his dorm. 'Merlin, I'm such an idiot. Why didn't I ask?' She
then decided to use her knowledge of the girl's dorms and just put everything in reverse. Since they were in sixth year, his
door must be second to last. She walked over there and took a deep breath.
'Ok, Lily, you can do this.' She took another deep breath and reached her hand for the doorknob. Then stopped. Her hand
dropped to her side. She couldn't gather enough courage!
She put her hand up to her chest and felt her heart beating rapidly. She took a few more deep breaths in attempt to calm her
pounding heart. 'Why am I this nervous? He's just a boy! A male! A man who shags a lot of girls- shite." Her heart sped up
again.
'He's not going to shag me. He told me that I could leave anytime I wanted. Maybe he does like me. Maybe he does want a real
relationship.' Lily smiled at that thought. 'Maybe I want a relationship,' a voice said in the back of her head.
She took out a handkerchief from the pocket of her skirt and dabbed her forehead where sweat had collected. She took one last
breath and opened up the door.
The sight she saw was something she didn't expect. It wasn't the clothes all over the place. Heck, the trash tossed here and
there didn't bother her that much; and neither did the smell of distinct guy. It was a sight that she would of never of
guessed.
Who would of thought to see Remus and Sirius shagging on a bed in the boy's dormitory?
**
Hahahaha! I love me! Go ahead, review! I dare you! I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way. I hope I don't loose readers.
But it's not like you've had a warning, I've been giving hints since the second chapter!
