promises!!!

The next few weeks passed quickly with Sirius and Lily spending more and more time together. Sirius was noticing that he was starting to like Lily more and more every time he saw or spoke to her, but he didn't know if she felt the same.
Lily wasn't quite sure either. She knew she liked him a lot, and probably more than a friend, but she didn't know if she wanted a boyfriend. But, she did feel so good when he was around, like she could forget all of her problems.
"Hey, Lily?" Sirius asked one morning at breakfast.
"Yeah?" she questioned looking up from her toast.
"Um, would you maybe want to, uh," he started
Right then a scream filled the air. It was high-pitched, and made Lilies ears ring. "Oh my god!" she yelled, "What is that?"
"I don't know," Sirius started, but suddenly the noise stopped.
Then, Dumbledoor stood up, and called for everyone to report to their common rooms immediately, and to stat there for the remainder of the day. ".and food will be brought up to you at meal times." he finished.
"I wonder what's happening?" Lily said looking worried. "It must be really bad for us to have to stay in the common rooms all day!"
"Yeah, I know." Sirius said, looking more sad than worried.
"So what were you going to ask me earlier?" Lily said half an hour later. They had all been shoved into the common rooms, and told to stay there, no exceptions. Sirius and her were sitting in two chairs in the corner of the room, as far away from James as possible. "Oh, um I was going to ask if maybe sometime we could do our homework together."
"But, we already do homework together." Lilly said rolling her eyes. "Or should I say I do our homework." she added laughing.
"Yeah, I guess that's right." Sirius said looking a bit relieved, "guess I wasn't thinking."
"Some things never change," said a voice over Lily's shoulders.
"What are you doing here?" Sirius asked glaring at James.
"I just wanted to visit my old acquaintances," he said with a slight smile sitting down next to Lily.
"Well, nobody here wants to talk to you." Sirius said gritting his teeth. "So why don't you just leave?"
"Well, actually I don't feel like it." James said leaning back in his chair and shutting his eyes.
"Will you just go away?" Sirius said standing up and glaring at James more than ever.
"What, you want me to leave you and your girlfriend alone?" James said smiling, and glancing at Lily before returning Sirius' glare.
"What are you talking about?" Sirius said confused. "Like you know anything! We're not."
"Yeah, we don't feel that way about each other," Lily said looking at James, "we're just friends."
At that Sirius' face dropped, "Yeah, just friends," he whispered.
"Whatever you say," James said, his smile fading a little noticing Sirius' face. "Hey, I was gonna run down to the kitchen and grab a snack, do either of you wanna come with me?"
"But we're not supposed to go anywhere," Lily snapped.
"So, I have a way that nobody will notice us." James said with an evil smirk, "So what do you think? Do either of you want to come?" "I don't think that's such a good idea." Lily said looking a little bit worried.
"But I'm hungry," Sirius started, "and we're not getting anything else until lunch! I don't think I can last much longer!"
"But the professors wouldn't make us stay in our common rooms all day if we weren't in any danger." Lily interrupted, looking very worried, "I don't think it's such a good idea!"
"Well, I'm hungry so I'm going to go," Sirius said looking at Lily, "ok with you James?"
"Yup, that's fine here," James said with a barely visible smile, "So how 'bout it Lily, you coming or not?"
"But," she said looking at Sirius for help, "I don't think any of us should go!"
"You don't have to come Lily," Sirius said not really looking at her, "but me and James are, so decide quick."
"Um.fine, ok fine," Lily said looking very scared, "but if we get caught, I'm baling you both!"
"No problem," James said with the evil grin coming back to his face, "my plan is fool-proof!"
"What exactly is your plan?" Sirius asked taking the words right out of Lily's mouth.
"Well," James said leaning in a little, "I got a present from my dad in the mail a few days ago, and I've been dying to try it out!"
"Well, what is it?" Lily asked a bit impatient.
James smiled. He had their attention, and he didn't want to lose it. He didn't like having no friends, and he missed Sirius, although he wasn't too wild about Lily tagging along. "An invisibility cloak!"
Five minutes later, the group had gotten under the cloak, and carefully made their way to the door. Not only once had Lily come centimeters from knocking into somebody, and landing all of them on the floor. She still didn't like the idea of sneaking out, but she hated the idea of being stuck in the common room, with no food for that matter.
So here she was, breaking probably 50 rules not even a month into school. "So where exactly is the kitchen, and what makes you think whoever is in there will actually let you have food?
"Your new at this aren't you?" James said rolling his eyes, and turning to look at Lily. "Rule number one is don't ever talk! You may not see anybody right now, but I assure you there is a teacher somewhere around here," he whispered, "and if we get caught because of your talking, you'll have nobody but yourself to blame!" he gave her a small glare and added, "And as for the food, the house elves will be begging us to take more than we will, don't worry. And be quiet."
Lily opened her mouth to say something to the effect of 'Get over yourself and walk.' but changed her mind and just glared instead.
About ten minutes later, the three arrived at a giant painting of a bowl of fruit. James reached up, tickled the pear, and a door appeared and opened, letting them inside.
"May I help you please sir, sir, ma'am? PLEASE???" a tiny female elf said the second James pulled off the cloak.
"What did I tell you?" James whispered looking at Lily. "Yes, actually we were sort of hungry. Do you have anything made right now?"
"I think I have just the thing!" the small elf laughed turning around and vanishing. Not two minutes later, the elf returned with a tray of food three times the size of her. "Is this alright?" she asked in a tiny voice.
The three beamed. The tray was filled with pastries, cakes, meat, juices, pudding, toast and anything else they could even think of wanting.
"Oh my," Lily gasped, "this is amazing! Thank you so much!" she said looking at the elf.
The elf beamed and said, "Henea only wises to please ma'am, sir, and sir!"
After stuffing their faces full of all different kinds of food, the three concluded their adventure buy stuffing their pockets full, in case they needed an afternoon snack.
"Well, are you both ready to leave?" James said stuffing one last cake into his robe.
"Yeah, I am," Lily said looking at Sirius, "are you?"
"Are you kidding? As much food as I want, and you think I'm done? I still have plenty of space left!" Sirius said smiling, "And like I could waste all of these wonderful cakes." He added looking at Henea.
The elf just blushed, and after asking if they would be needing anything else, popped away.
It took Sirius only another minute or so to completely fill his pocket and eat another cake before they left. Lily was pleasantly surprised; she thought it was going to be a horrible experience that she would want to forget about as soon as possible. But, on the contrary, she had had the time of her life. She liked spending time with Sirius, and she decided that she would have to seal with James, because they were old friends.
"That was fun," Lily whispered smiling. "We should do that again sometime."
"Yeah, it was," Sirius said, still chewing his last cake.
"Shh." James said suddenly looking serious.
"Oh don't be so worried!" Lilly said rolling her eyes. "We're not going to get caught just because of our whispering. We'll hear any professors befor they hear us, and besides they can't even see us!"
"I said shh." James retorted.
"She's right James," Sirius butted in, "Relax, if we were going to get caught we would have already."
"No, that's not it!" James said sounding annoyed, "I think I hear voices!"
At that there was complete silence until Sirius added, "Yeah me too."
The three weren't expecting what they saw when they turned the corner. Sirius dropped the cake he was nibbling on, James stifled a gasp, and Lily screamed, before fainting.
Lucky for the three of them, Sirius noticed how much it would hurt Lily, and covered her mouth, stifling her scream, and caught her before she fell onto the floor.
What they saw would change their lives forever, especially Lilies.
A/N: Lol, I love cliffhangers! Ok, so I don't really when I'm reading a story, but it just seemed to fit. Or else I have to stop because I want to update this chapter, and I can't type anymore---choir concert! Well I'll try to write again tomorrow.but we have festival so no promises! Thank you to the three of you who reviewed, I appreciate all of your comments! Please keep reviewing!!!!! I hope you like my story so far!
