Dear Diary, March 2, 1975
It is James' and my second anniversary as a couple. I still can't believe that we are really dating. It was definitely worth the chaotic week we spent when we discovered that we liked each other. I am pleased that James is the first person that I have ever gone out with. He was really patient with my inexperience as a girl friend. We spend a lot of time in each others' dorms when everyone else is in the common room. James showed me his window seat that faces the lake on the grounds. We sit there together a lot at night, just staring at the moon's reflection in the water, enjoying each other's presence.
Anise told me that she used to have a crush on James in our second year. I laughed because I could not picture James with Anise. They are good friends, but Anise is very flirty and giggly, James prefers to date girls who are more reserved like me.
James is also very comforting, and whenever I am with him I feel like the amazing person he insists that I am. I feel as drop-dead gorgeous as he thinks I am, and I feel desirable as a woman. I remember one day Lucius Malfoy cornered me after Potions, and he told me that I am ugly, that my hair is fluorescent orange, that I am short and fat, and told me that James is crazy to be going out with me. I came to James crying and I told him that I was ugly. James hugged me, and told me how beautiful I am. He told me that my hair is vibrant, that it shines, and it makes me look like an angel, his angel. He said that he loves my height. I am short and I've got a temper that makes up for my lack of height, but he insisted that my quick temper makes me a fun person to be around. He also said that I am definitely not fat. To emphasize that point he lifted my shirt up a little bit so that my stomach was exposed, and he rested his hand on it. I remember being terribly afraid that James was going to take my shirt off, but I knew that he wasn't perverse so I relaxed. I began to feel aroused when his fingers began to caress my stomach, and he was laughing because I had started to moan, and cry out his name.
"James stop it," I was angry because he thought that it was very amusing how much he could arouse me. Then I had kissed him senseless in revenge, and his body had tensed up. Then it was me who was laughing, because I could do that to him. James' mouth on mine caused my laughter to subside, and I enjoyed the feeling of his body pressed up against mine, and his tongue in my mouth dueling mine. James had eventually pulled away, and then we had gone to sit on his bed and talk. Clearly what Malfoy said to me, no longer upsets me.
Tonight James is taking me to a restaurant in Hogsmeade to celebrate our anniversary. Then we are going to return to Hogwarts, and I will spend the night in my dorm telling Anise all of the details of our date.
LATER:
James met me at the secret passageway to the cellar of Honeydukes that he and his friends found last year. They call themselves the Marauders, and as you already know, they are constantly getting into trouble. James and I huddled close together under his invisibility cloak and we stole away into the great wizard city. When we reached the restaurant he took off the cloak, and we sat down. It was lovely inside, the room was candle lit, and from our window seat we caught a glimpse of a Hogwarts tower turret in the distance. Over the meal we talked about our friends and made predictions of who would get together. I told him that Anise is falling desperately for Sirius, and I learned from him that Sirius reciprocates her feelings. We have a devilish plan to get our two love sick friends together. We will begin to put it in action tomorrow. He asked me if I had had a crush on someone other than him during our 5 years at Hogwarts. I told him that I used to think that Sirius was attractive, but that I had never wanted to date anyone but him. He actually believed me, and he told me that he felt touched. I laughed and asked him if he had ever been attracted to any of my friends. He told me that for about a month last year he was attracted to my friend Marie Latelle who is going steady with the very nice, but nerdy guy, Frank Longbottom. I laughed then, because Marie is frightened of James because he likes to hex people. Of course the people he hexes are annoying Slytherins, and I told her this, but she is still afraid of him.
We left as the sun set, and we watched from our secret spot by the Shrieking Shack as the sky was covered with crimson and gold clouds. When the sky darkened, we draped ourselves again in his cloak, and he leaned me against a tree. His eyes flashed devilishly and he smiled at me with his lopsided grin, and murmured "For privacy." I cut him off with a passionate kiss, because his grin had made my stomach begin to churn, and I was longing for his mouth to be on mine. He eventually pulled away and his lips attacked my neck. When we had finished kissing, he whipped the cloak off of us and we headed into Honeydukes. Then we whisked ourselves into invisibility again and returned to Hogwarts. The Fat Lady scolded us for being out in the corridors after curfew and then opened the portrait hole for us. I whispered a good night to James, and headed up to my dorm to tell Anise about our lovely anniversary dinner. Now she is asleep, and I am getting tired, so I will write more tomorrow.
Love, Lils
