Chapter 5

" JAMES! YOU STUPID PRAT! STOP BEING SO ANNOYING!" screamed Lily in the Common Room.

" Come on! Just go out with me! What is the big deal?" said James indignantly.

" You didn't even ask me out nicely. Oh Lily, go out with me. Yea, that's a great way to ask a girl out." Shouted Lily.

Sirius, Remus (followed by Peter,) just entered the Common Room.

" Are they at it again?" asked Sirius tiredly.

" Yea." Chorused Jasmine and Malerie.

" How long has this been going on?" asked Remus.

" Um. About an hour or so. You end up spacing out after about ten minutes of this though." Said Jasmine.

Most of the students had already cleared out. Barely a few remained but ended up going to their own dormitory for refuge.

" You think just because you're a good Quidditch player you expect every girl to just fling themselves on you!"

" It's not my fault that I'm that charming!" said James.

" Arrg! Shut up, Potter!" Said Lily.

" Oh, back on last name basis are we, EVANS?" shouted James.

" Like it makes any difference!" said Lily.

" Ok! Stop! Enough of this!" said Sirius as he stood up.

" Lily go to that corner over there and James you go on the other corner over there. Now you two go stand there and think what you just did." Ordered Sirius.

Everyone looked up at him in confusion.

" Are you kidding me?" said James, Lily, Malerie, Jasmine and Peter.

" Hey, that was the best thing I could come up with the moment." Said Sirius, sheepishly.

" Well, I'm going up to the dormitory." Said Lily and headed toward the girls' dormitory.

" Yea, me too!" said James and he followed Lily.

" Potter, the boys' dormitory is over there! Why are you following me!" screamed Lily.

" Oh right. I just made a mistake!" said James trying to look angry but blushing furiously at the same time.

They both slammed the door.

" Well, at least we got that over with." Said Sirius.

And they all went up to the dormitories.

Lily woke up in the middle of the night. She had just dreamed that she married James Potter. Lily, disgusted with herself, slowly went down stairs to sit by the fire and think until she gets sleepy again. She opened the door and was just about to step outside.

Then she spotted a figure sneaking out of the Gryffindor Common room.

'What does Remus think he is doing?' Thought Lily and she decided to follow him.

'Maybe he is going to the Astronomy Tower.' She thought for a second. But then she was proven wrong when Remus past the passage leading to the Tower. Instead he headed to the grounds.

Lily maneuvered through clumps of bushes. She saw that Remus had pressed a knot in the root of the tree and had gone inside the gently swaying Whomping Willow. Looking around to make sure no one was around and she went over to the Whomping Willow and entered. There she saw a long tunnel. It was so long, half way through, Lily thought that she should turn back and head up. It took a while to reach the end of the tunnel. She slightly opened the door and peeped through the creek. There was something wrong with Remus.

Lily opened the door. That's when she saw him.

A Remus she had once known was now a fully formed wolf.

His words came back to her.

' There are things that I wished never happened to me...'

" Oh my." muttered Lily, her eyes wide at the shock. He stared straight at her.

Then he plunged at her, though Lily got out of the way very narrowly, avoiding bite. Though she was very severely cut on her arms.

'Anyone, please. Help me.' Thought Lily, desperately. The werewolf was about to have another go at her. Her arm was bleeding unmercifully.

"EXPELLIARMUS!"

Remus was thrown across the room. James Potter stood there with his wand out.

" Come on, Lily." Said James.

" Can we leave him like this James?" asked Lily urgently.

" LILY! WE HAVE TO GO!" screamed James and he held Lily.

" He'll be fine. Trust me, Lily." said James as they left the room.

Lily was so shocked.

They did not speak until they were safely inside the Gryffindor Common Room. Lily's arms were bleeding from the cuts.

"James, it was Remus. He is." said Lily.

" A werewolf. I know." Said James interrupting her. He placed Lily gently on a couch and folded up her sleeves.

"Demienta." Said James and the cuts her completely healed.

" He is usually harmless. The Whomping Willow was where he would go and transform and return back when he turned human. That's why he is sick all the time." Said James.

" I never knew. He just left so I followed him." Said Lily thoroughly miserable for Remus.

" Well, I suggest you don't follow any werewolves from now on, Evans." Said James and he stood up to leave.

" James. Wait."

He turned around.

" I just wanted to say thank you." Said Lily as she stood up.

She noticed how clear and brown James' eyes were.

" Your welcome. I was just." James was cut off. Lily leaned over and kissed him.

It was mind blowing to James.

He was FINALLY kissing Lily Evans.
