Hey guys! Thanks a bunch for the reviews! 19! Wow! I really did not expect it! Your reviews gave me the way to take this story! (Thanks, I was thinking of originally writing it a different way.) Do you guys want this to be a long book-like series, or do you guys want me to be finishing this up soon? It could really change the way my next chapters go so please let me know. I like to let readers choose more of the story than normal. Authors always know how to ruin some stories cause they go against the fans! Now for the story......may I present, Chapter 4 in Unexpected Love! Erin
He watched her wide eyed in amazement. She plopped down on his bed and stared at him with wide eyes. He hated those eyes, it was like they could look right through you. A sleeve of her gown started to fall and she quickly picked it up, blushing fiercely. James realized immediately she didn't mean to come here in those clothes.
"Here," he said handing her a silky cashmere blanket. "You look like you might need this."
"Thanks," she replied taking it rather hurriedly. "What are you doing with a cashmere blanket anyway? I always knew you had some money to throw around, but cashmere?!"
"Aww...shut it! I find it quite comfy thanks! Plus, cashmere blankets aren't that much! Just don't tell Sirius," he added hurriedly. "He'd kill me." As he looked at her again, the reason why she was here came flooding back to him. "As to why your here........"
She instantly became serious, but then loosened up. "I wanted to answer your invitation personally. I never thought you would have any interest in me when there are millions of other girls....."she stopped at his disbelieving look. "Okay so a few hundred, you get the point. It's just their so much prettier, and smarter, and......." she stopped at another one of his looks again. "Okay, so most of them are pretty dumb, but I can name three girls off the top of my head who have unbelievable looks, and great grades.
"I can think of one," he said truthfully. "You"
He heard her breath suck in and her voice quiver. "Oh James, dammit you know how to get to a girl! My answers yes...YES!! I will go to the dance with you!" With that she leaned over and kissed him pretty passionately. "Nighty Night Mr. Potter."
With that she walked out the door leaving him gasping into silence.
Remus having walked into the room to try to see what all the noise was about asked, "What the hell happened here? And is that cashmere?! Wait till I tell Sirius." At this James summoned his wand, and with a simple flock of his wrist, Remus was bound in his closet, with no way of speaking or hearing anything for the rest of that night.
When he awoke the next morning with a huge smile plastered to his face. It was Valentine's day, and there was a dance, and he had a date to it. He heard a muffled bump come from the closet, and remembered Remus. He laughed as he flicked his wrist and Remus came tumbling out. "You really gotta warn me man," he started groggily. "Took me totally by surprise." At this, to James amusement, he fell backward and started snoring.
As the day wore on, he and Lily snuck smiles each others way at each opportunity. As Lily caught one she thought with horror, "I'm a complete hypocrite! I hated those girls who fell all over James and loved his smile." But then when she thought about it, she wasn't being totally hypocritical, he liked her back.
Finally, it was an hour before the dance, or as known to the girls, get ready for the dance time. Almost all the teachers had cut classes for the day, and for those who didn't, everyone cut them anyway. Lily rushed pashed the lowly first through third years, who were too young to go to the dance. They all frowned up at her, knowing where she was going. The portrait swung open before she even got there. "Why hello Lily dear, getting ready for the dance. I do so wish I could go."
Lily smiled at her and hurried inside. She didn't have time to chat! She had to get ready! No guys were in the dorm room, as the girls had put a curse on it for the afternoon, so the girls could walk around as they pleased. She was greeted by her friends Molly, Victoria, and Angela. They rushed over to her and grabbed her hand and pushed her into her room. "Get ready!" They ordered as they shut the door behind them. They grabbed their dresses and immediately started changing. "Dorms are packed, thank god you have your own room!" Angela huffed. She was trying to pry herself into a baby blue dress that was about two sizes too small. "Damn pastries in the morning! Sirius won't be happy!" "You have to make Sirius happy?! What happens if he's not?" Lily was appalled by this. To not have pastries in the morning because your "man" might not like it.
"No, not like that. Sirius can actually be a gentleman. He would never say something like that. I can just tell when he's really happy. I just know that he happens to like skinny women. Is it me or am I getting fatter every day?! I just bought this dress two weeks ago!
"You're just making things up Ang! God your as skiny as a toothpick! You make every girl in this school except Lil over here look like pigs!" Molly fumbled over her make-up and jewelry, making a point to prove to everyone how big she thought she was. "Ohh Molly! You are skinny! Look at you! Absolutely no skin on those legs!" Lily had to say something, as she was starting to get annoyed. This was how the conversation went for the rest of the hour until it was time for the dance. They all paraded down the stairs with the rest of the girls. As the girls started to file out of the portrait hole, Angela yelled out over the masses of heads, "I just have to check something, I'll be there in a sec." Lily decided to wait for her, she didn't want her to have to go all alone, and besides she thought with a smile, why shouldn't she make James wait a little bit longer.
After about five minutes of no movement, Lily decided to go see what happened. "Angela?" Lily called softly. She looked in her room to find she wasn't there, so she went over to all three of her friend's room . She looked around and found the bathroom door open a creek. The normal greeted her, Victoria's hair supplies, Molly's fashion magazines, and Angelina's endless supplies of make-up.
She turned to face the corner where she noticed Angelina sitting on the toilet silently crying her eyes out. Her brown hair was knotted and damp, and her dress had clumps of mascara on it. She went to ask her friend what was wrong when she stopped dead in her tracks. Angelina was clutching a stick in her hand very tightly. At second glance, Lily realized to her horror it was a pregnancy test! (A/N Sorry but I dunno what witches use so lets just say it's Wanda's 100% Truth for 100% Witches) And from here she could make out the flashing plus sign with the "Congratulations Angela! Your gonna make a great mother!" Lily stopped dead in her tracks.
Angela was pregnant? Why that would make Sirius the father!
What do you think? I'm suprised that I thought of this. When I started this chapter, this was not even thought of! I'm going for 25 reviews, but don't stop there, that's just a number. Please review, who knows what other surprises could happen! : )
