Chapter 7
After dinner everyone was in the Common Room. Sirius and Peter were playing chess. (Peter's knight had just smashed Sirius' queen) Jasmine and Malerie were doing their Defense Against the Dark Arts homework with Lily. But no matter how much she tried, she could not keep focused.
What does he want? Thought Lily. This was killing her.
Just then, the Portrait swung opened and Remus Lupin came in.
" Moony! Help me, Peter's mad knight is on the rampage!" said Sirius desperately.
Remus looked paler than ever. Lily tried to look away.
" Hold on, Sirius." Said Remus and he walked toward the table where the girls were doing their homework.
" Lily, can I talk to you for a minute?" asked Remus, politely.
" Oh. Um, sure." Said Lily, uncomfortably. Jasmine and Malerie looked at the pair of them with confused faces.
Remus did not talk until they both were out of earshot.
" Lily, I."
" No. Remus, look. I'm really sorry that I followed you. You just left, so my curiosity got the better of me. You didn't do anything wrong since it was only natural for you to try to bite me. It's my bloody fault. Please don't hate me." Said Lily, out of breath.
" Well in that case, I'm sorry that I hadn't told you sooner. I didn't know how you would react if you knew I was a werewolf. I hope I didn't get you injured." Said Remus.
" No, nothing big. A few scratches here and there. And James," said Lily but she cut her self off when she had just said, James.
" Oh right, James was the one who got you in time right?" asked Remus.
" Yea." Said Lily.
" MOONY!! Peter's knight is about to checkmate me! I have to do his homework for a month if I lose this game." Screamed Sirius.
" Don't you even think about it, Remus. I'm finally winning." Said Peter. " Well, I'm just glad that you're alright." Said Remus looking at Lily.
" So am I. Well, you'd better go over to see before Sirius and Peter don't kill themselves." Said Lily, half grinning.
Then they both went to the table and enjoyed the game of chess. (Peter won in the end.)
As hours passed, the students just started to clear out. Lily went up to her dormitory as well, pretending to fall asleep. As ten o' clock, approached, she quietly went down stairs. James was already there.
" You're two minutes late." Said James.
" Well, I'm sorry. So. What did you want me to meet you here for?" asked Lily.
" Because I want to take out to see the stars." Said James, smiling.
" Huh?" said Lily, still not getting clear answers she wanted.
" Just follow me. Oh yea. Put this on before we head off." Said James as he took out a cloak of silvery material.
" James, is that an invisibility cloak?"
" Yes, yes come in." said James as he put Lily under the cloak.
" Cozy, isn't it?" said James, his eyebrows up and down then putting his arms around Lily.
" James, let's just go and see the stars." Said Lily and they headed out.
It was fun to be under an invisibility cloak. They passed the caretaker more than once and he was completely oblivious to the two teenagers sneaking out to the grounds. Though they were almost caught once when Lily had to sneeze. It was fun to watch how jumpy James got.
When they were out on the grounds, Lily noticed how the sky was filled with stars.
" Wait, we're going into the Forbidden Forest?" asked Lily as they walked toward the dark forest.
" Yea. I know this great little spot. Wait, does fearless and feisty Lily Evans scared of the Forbidden Forest?" said James, teasingly.
" NO! I mean, no. Let's just go." Said Lily.
Although Lily said she wasn't scared, James noticed how her grip on his arm tightened. He liked the feeling very much. He could almost hear Lily's heartbeat.
'I can't wait to tell Sirius about this.' Then another thought came into his head.
' I wonder what the house elves are cooking right now. Wait! I can't be thinking about this right now!' Thought James, shaking off his stupid thoughts.
They were getting quite deep into the forest. Thought Lily.
"We're almost there." Whispered James as if he was reading her mind.
Soon, Lily saw it. It was the most beautiful thing Lily had ever seen in her life.
It was a little spring. Its pinkish pearly glow and shimmering glitter in the air made it even more beautiful. There were few little fairies flying around as well. It was exactly like the magical springs you often saw in fairytale books. It was breath taking.
" Like it?" asked James taking off the invisibility cloak.
Lily turned to him and said,
" It's. it's beautiful." stuttered Lily
James smiled brightly. Lily noticed that he truly looked like an innocent child when he smiled that way.
"Well, come and have a seat, Lily. This rock is more comfortable than you think." Said James as he made room for Lily to sit on.
Lily was still in completely amazed of this beautiful place.
" Me and Sirius found it when we were in the second year. We were trying to see a real werewolf but we didn't find any. Instead, we found this. And we promised that it would be kept secret." Said James looking around at his secret place.
" Then why did you bring me here if it's supposed to be a secret?" asked Lily.
" Because you're very special." Whispered James into Lily's ear.
Her faced started to get very scarlet. James and Lily's eyes locked. James leaned over for a kiss. And as much as Lily disliked James, she was completely mesmerized by him now. She couldn't hold back.
And they kissed. They kissed so passionately. James was entirely overpowered by his emotions. Then he gently lifted Lily and rested her on the smooth grassy floor.
Shaken, Lily pulled away.
" What are you doing?!" said Lily incredulously. James looked longingly into Lily's eyes.
" Come on, the time is right."
" So is that why you brought me here?! You are sick, James Potter." Said Lily now very angry.
" I want you to take me back!"
" Lily, it wasn't like that," James started to say.
But Lily's fiery eyes told him it was no use trying to explain that his intentions were not what she thought they were. He put the invisibility cloak over them and started to head towards the castle. The trip back was dead silent.
How could he have screwed up this badly? Thought James. Trying to get back in Lily's graces would be like asking him to kiss Snape.
Oh... Snape..
