Aya, and Abby. ^^;; I wish I did though.
Lily's muffled cries were now louder, and James's embraced her. "Its going to be okay." James whispered into her ear. He hestitated a moment. "I love you, and will never let you get hurt." All Lily could do was cry, but she hugged him tighter.
"Hogwarts is no longer safe," Professor Rou's voice bellowed.
James Potter woke up with a start. His palms and forehead was sweaty. Without thinking, he stood up and looked over his bed. All his friends and roommates were still there, alive. He tiptoed down the pine stairs, and went up the next set to the girls dorms. He creaked the door 7th year girls door open an inch, and there was all the beds drawn, with alive humans in them. James breathed a sigh of relief and then was startled by a muffled cry. Lily Potter had just awoken from the same dream. James turned around and shut the door, but a little too loudly.
"James?" Lily split the silence. James opened the door open a creak.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"Yes. Just a bad dream"
Lily nodded in agreement, and she layed back in bed again and the door was shut. In the dream, James had said that he loved her. Could that be true? No, it was just a dream she told herself. I have feelings for James that aren't returned, she thought, But I hope someday they will.
The morning arose, and James sat up, groggily. He could vaugaly remember the dream, but the part that most stuck out in his mind was when he told Lily he loved her. Did he really? He knew dreams were supposed to mean something. And what was up with the students thing? He rubbed his eyes, and got dressed. He sluggishly grabbed his books and wandered down the stairs. He was glad to see that Lily was chatting away with Abby on the couch, a wide smile spread across her face. James was especially glad to see that Abby was alive. He sat down next to Lily.
"Glad to see your cheery," James commented. He leaned back and glanced at Lily to make sure he hadn't reminded her of Daniel instead of asking. The smile on her face, saddened a little, but she spoke with out of a trembling voice.
"I'm fine. I realized that its his loss. And if he dumps me for that-that idiot, he's not the one for me." Lily was very proud of her choice, and was trying very hard to keep Daniel's head out of her head. He was out of her life now. Gone. She shouldn't dwell on him. James was also impressed with Lily's mature decision. He wasn't able to do that.
"Good job, Lil, I'm proud of you," James patted Lily's back. Lily blushed slightly at James's touch. Abby noticed this, and smirked. She noticed Sirius was standing next to Remus, talking. She slowly formed a plan in her mind.
"Hey Sirius!" Abby called. She jogged over to him and lowered her voice.
"Lily likes James.I can see it in her eyes. As well as her cheeks," Abby giggled. "I'm almost positive James likes her as well. Do you know anything?"
Sirius's eyes widened as this. Lily likes James? Perfect. He and Abby could play matchmaker.
"Yes, he does. We could play matchmaker." Sirius replied. He smirked and glanced at Lily and James talking. Now that he realized it, there was something of love in Lily's eyes as she talked to James.
Abby smiled, "Perfect. Meet me in the library after last class. I'm gonna head down to breakfast." Abby crawled through the protait hole, and Sirius walked over to James.
"You two are going to be late for breakfast. You can chat during class because I know you two can't stand to be apart." Sirius said, waiting for James to stand. Both James and Lily blushed, and took no notice to eachother. They both stood up and walked down to breakfast.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How should we do this?" Abby set her books down on the square table and sat across from Sirius. She swung her head back, swishing her long raven hair, then sat straight.
"We could setup an eavesdropping," Sirius shrugged. Despite Abby's confused expression, he went on. "Nah.to corny. Hmmmm. Maybe the free will test. That would probably work the best."
"What? What is the free will test?" Abby put her elbows on the table. She didn't have experience in matchmaking.
"Its when you tell the person the other person likes them and see if they finally tell." Sirius explained. "And you can egg them on, give them suggestions, and point out good points." Sirius leaned back in his chair.
Abby replied, "That sounds like a good plan. Its better than like, totally forcing it anyway. Tell them tonight?"
"Agreed." Sirius collected his books, and stood up just as Abby did. " Meet tomarrow?"
"Yes. With reports of actions and stuff." Sirius and Abby walked out of the library and into the 2nd floor corridor. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Lily likes you," Sirius broke to James as soon as they were in the common room. James rose his eyebrows.
"How would you know?"
"Second hand information." Sirius smiled.
"Why should I believe you? Or your 'source'?" James asked coldly. Normally, Sirius always fixed him up. But he had mentally convinced himself that Lily would never,ever, return his feelings.
"Because the source is her best friend! Come on James, don't be scared! I now you don't want this to ruin your friendship, but go for it!" Sirius egged James on. James glanced at Sirius hopefully. Abby? Had Abby told Sirius that Lily liked him? Or was this another one of Sirius's jokes.
"I'll think about it," James replied. But one little voice in his head kept on screaming, 'Tonight! I'll tell her tonight!' *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Did you ever think Jame's would have the same feeling for you?" Abby asked Lily. They were in the dorm, just hanging out. Lily's face became still. Abby mentally cheered. She had struck gold.
"No. He views me as a friend. And a friend only," Lily answered.
"Are you sure?" Abby slyly questioned.
Lily went red, "How would you know?"
"Oh, only Sirius."
There was silence after that.
"You know, I think I will go down stairs to study," Liyl rushed out the door while Abby was coming her hair. "Ok!" Abby called back. Lily grabbed her books, and came down the stairs stealthily, and noticed that James was talking to Sirius on the couch. Lily's palms sweated, 'Oh shoot!' She thought, 'I'm gonna make a complete fool out of myself!' Lily nervously entered the seating area and sat next to James.
"Hi James, hi Sirius," Lily greeted the two friends without looking up. She opened her Arithmacy book after that, trying to avoid James's eyes.
"Hello Lily," James replied.
Sirius snickered, "I'm going to go upstairs."
"You are?" Both Lily and James asked at the same time. Both looked mortified.
"Yep, See you," Sirius walked up the boys stairs, and soon disapeared.
Lily was now sure she was blushing, and that her heart was thumping so loud, that even James could hear it. She didn't even notice she was on the same page for a minute.
"Um, Lily?" James asked, amused.
"Yeah," Lily's voice cracked. Lily looked up, trying to keep her face normal.
"Your reading the same page over and over again."
"Oh, right," Lily let out a nervous laugh. She flipped the page.
"Lily?" James drew in a deep breath.
"Yes?" Lily looked up again, this time with more confidence. Imeaditly, Lily's emerald eyes cast a spell over James. They were shining beautifully. Lily noticed James had a look of love over his face. She blushed.
" I-I," James drew in a big breath. "Have something to say to you."
Lily giggled, "Go on, I understand you have something to say."
James once more drew up all of her courage and confidence, " I am falling in love with you." James fell backwards into his chair although that took up all of his remaining energy, and waited for Lily's reaction.
Lily was speechless. No, it wasn't a dream this time. It was real. James really did love her. Lily had no idea what to do. No boy (besides her Dad) had ever told her he loved her. But she loved him back-and had from since they first met. So should she say 'I love you' back?
"I love you too, James," Lily whispered, silent tears pouring down her face. James's frown broke into a warm comforting grin, and he kissed her deeply on the lips. Lily had never felt this way before, even with Daniel. It was like fireworks were going off, Lily felt so happy, she returned the kiss. Finally the kiss was parted when a shout was heard from upstairs. "AH! SOMEBODY HELP! HE'S GOING TO KILL ME!" It was Abby's voice. Lily and James's eyes grew big. They both leaped off the red couch and raced of the stairs leading to the Girls Dorms.
Then another voice filled the silence. It was a deep voice, which belonged to a man, "AVADA-"
Then Abby shrieked, "EXPELLIARMUS!" A loud crash sounded which only caused Lily and James to run faster up the long steep flight of stairs. Finally, they reached the top of the stairwell, and rounded the corner into the seventh year girl dorm.
In the dorm, stood a middle-aged man with short brown hair, and blazing blue eyes. His red robes were torn and worn. He was kneeled on the floor in front of Abby. Abby was holding one wand in each hand, her own pointed at his throat.
"Don't even move," Abby glared hard at the Man. Lily and James rushed to Abby's side, and the man's eyes darted to their direction.
Abby noticed Lily and James had arrived, "Oh thank God you guys are here. Please, one of you, send for Headmaster. I have no idea how here came through my window, especially on Gryffindor Tower. But that doesn't matter right now. Just please one of you, go!"
Lily replied, "I'll go." Her eyes will filled with fear for James, "James, use your wand incase he gets out of hand. Please be careful and be here for me alive when I return with Rou.
"Not so fast," The man looked up from his intent stare with the floor.
Lily's muffled cries were now louder, and James's embraced her. "Its going to be okay." James whispered into her ear. He hestitated a moment. "I love you, and will never let you get hurt." All Lily could do was cry, but she hugged him tighter.
