Chapter 8
Disclaimer: I only own Steph and some other characters. All the rest belongs to J.K. Rowling.
A/N: Eek. This chapter took kind of long. I have been swamped with tests and homework this past few weeks. :T Moving on...I know I said that I wasn't going to come back to this plot till a couple of chapters later but I have a change of plans. Everything will come together in the next chapter. No, that won't be the last chapter. I might have a few more chapters or a lot more chapters coming. Depends on my mood. :-D Thanks to all the reviewers. Individual thanks are after the fic. Now go read~!
*~*~*
Lily Evans was smiling to herself in the dark. All she felt was bliss. She sighed happily and turned to the side of her bed. That night was wonderful. After she had broke away with James, they had sat down on the ground and talked about everything. She felt her hatred slowly disintegrating throughout the night. When they got back to the common room surreptitiously, it was already in the early morning. She kissed him good bye and went up the dorm room.
"Lily?" Steph asked from the bed next to hers.
She muttered 'Lumos' and a faint light was created.
"You're awake?" Lily asked sitting up. Steph got up from her bed and walked over to Lily's, facing her. She flopped on the bed with a troubled look.
"Yeah. I couldn't sleep."
"What's the matter, Steph?"
"I'm so confused." Steph sighed.
"About what?"
"Sirius."
"What-t?" Lily exclaimed but then realized there were other people sleeping in the room, she said in a whisper, "Have you fallen for him?"
"Okay, I think I should start from the beginning." Steph said and she told Lily everything. About the plan to make her and James get together and the kisses they shared. Lily was quiet after she told her everything.
"James asked me out for Hogsmeade this week." Lily said suddenly.
Steph goggled at her like she had just grown an extra head. "Am I missing something? Did you just say James asked you out?"
Lily chuckled. "Yes, you missed out a lot."
"Tell me!" Steph squealed in delight. She was always up for good gossip.
So she did.
"He kissed you?" Steph asked in awe.
Lily blushed. "Yes."
"That's so cool." She exclaimed.
"I think it's cool that you and Sirius have gotten together. Now we can all go out together." Lily said with a faraway look.
"I don't think he considers us as a couple." Steph said.
"But he has to!" Lily said loudly which caused a couple of their roommates to mumble something unintelligent.
"I really do hope so." Steph said.
"You really like him don't you?" Lily asked.
"Yeah." She sighed. "I just don't want to get my heart smashed into a million pieces."
"I don't think he's going to do that to you. Sirius would never hurt his friends intentionally." Lily said.
"You're right. He won't." Steph said. This reassured her and she bid Lily good night. Her worries melted away as she fell into a deep slumber.
*~*~*
Sirius Black had gotten up extra early to give Steph his surprise. He had unfortunately bumped into the middle of Remus and Brigitte snogging like there was no tomorrow. He walked to the portrait and tickled the pear. The door opened and he went in. The aroma of fresh croissants from the oven filled his nose.
"Mr. Black, what would you like?" A house elf had seen him come in.
"Could you help me put on a tray some scramble eggs, sausages, croissants, and a pitcher of orange juice?" Sirius asked.
"Sure. It is my pleasure." The house elf hurried and got the things Sirius requested in less than a minute. Sirius thanked him and carried the tray to the Gryfinndor dorm room.
He had borrowed James' invisibility cloak to avoid being seen by any teachers. When he opened the door to the room, everyone was still asleep. He saw that Jessica Owens was snoring lightly. He chuckled and went over to Steph's bed. It was the second bed and she was sleeping peacefully. He placed the tray down next to a stand and gently shook her.
"Psst."
"Huh?" Steph mumbled. She opened her eyes slightly.
"Shh." Sirius whispered putting his finger to her mouth.
Steph rubbed her eyes and realization dawned on her. "What are you doing here?"
"Breakfast in bed." He said pointing to the tray of food next to her bed.
She sat up and stared at the food. Then turning her gaze back to Sirius, she broke out into a huge smile. He bent over and kissed her on the cheek. She couldn't wipe the smile off of her face. Sirius got into bed with her and took the tray, placing it on his leg.
"Thank you." She said softly.
"You're welcome. Now let's eat." He said. They fed each other all the food on the tray(a/n: i find that so cute and sweet!).
After they finished eating, Sirius wiped Steph's mouth with his thumb. She grinned at him. They stared at each other for seconds not saying a word. Slowly, Sirius leaned towards Steph kissing her gently at first. Then with more force. They were so swept away in the kiss that they didn't notice the tray sliding off her bed. It crashed to the floor that woke the whole room. They jumped.
Lily was the first to notice Sirius sitting in Steph's bed. "Sirius!"
Sirius turned bright red.
"Sirius was just bringing me breakfast." Steph said. She got up and picked up the tray.
"That's so sweet." Brianna Walters said. "Josh would never think of anything as romantic." Joshua Lowry was Brianna's boyfriend.
Jessica Owens nodded. Steph's roommates looked at her in envy.
"Well, I better get going." Sirius said getting up from the bed. He gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Bye. I'll see you later." Steph called out to him.
Sirius descended the stairs to the common room. Remus and Brigitte were no longer there. He sat down on one of the chairs closing his eyes. His mind drifted off to Steph. This was the first time he had ever felt that he needed to make a girl happy. Usually, it was just snogging and more snogging. Then he realized something, he was completely whipped.
*~*~*
It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly and the flowers were blooming profusely. He took her hand in his and they walked along the lake. It was their lake. He whispered something in her ear causing her to smile. They sat down next to a tree where they had carved their initials weeks ago.
"Will you marry me?" He asked her.
She was overcome with a burst of happiness. "Yes."
They kissed not noticing the man that was watching them with hatred in his eyes.
*~*~*
Lily was checking in the mirror to see how she looked for the millionth time.
"You're looking good, dear." The mirror said.
Lily smiled. She couldn't believe she was getting all dressed up for James. The last time she had done this, it had turned into a disaster. But it won't this time, she said to herself. They were going to Hogsmeade that day. When she went down to him, the look on his face was priceless. She could not help but laugh.
"What do you think?" She asked him.
"Beautiful as always." He said. He held out his hand and she took it. He brought her closer to him. She placed her head on his shoulder. They walked all the way to Hogsmeade with the help of the secret passage.
"I'm thirsty. Let's go get some butterbeers." Lily said. They sat in the same booth as they did during their 3rd year.
"Wouldn't this be bad luck?" James asked.
"As long as you don't spill butterbeer all over me again." Lily said laughing.
"I'll try my best." He said.
However, disaster did occur when he was leaning over to give her a kiss. He accidentally made the glass spill. The butterbeer went all over her outfit.
He looked at her in horror. "I'm sorry, Lily. Really I am."
Lily said a drying spell. "All clean." She said smiling.
"You're not mad?" James asked.
"Of course not." Lily said. "It's nothing."
"Let's get out of here." James said. "I think butterbeers are a menace to us."
"Me too."
They left the Three Broomsticks hand in hand, never happier than before.

A/N: Pretty short chapter. =P Kind of boring in my opinion but I promise that next chapter will be more action filled and you will find out what happens to Brig.
