The rest of the Christmas holiday was quite uneventful besides everybody getting used to the idea of Tasha knowing about Remus and the Marauders being Animagus. On Christmas day they all took a field trip to a near-by golf course that had been completely snowed over. The day was filled with skiing, sledding, and of the course the pure insanity that usually comes with the package of those 8 crazy teenagers.
Unfortunately, Arthur had to leave the festivities a few day early because of work at the ministry. Apparently some of Voldemort's death eaters had caused some havoc in a town outside of Surrey, they had called him in to help with the work. "Basically they need me to cover the paperwork" Arthur had joked when he was bidding everyone a happy Christmas. Molly had also left going back to Arthurs apartment to keep him company once he got home. The gang understood being that the two were engaged, and hadn't seen eachother since before school had commenced.
On the last night before they had to return to Hogwarts, James had opened the ballroom, and they all camped out on that grand balcony that took you wherever you wanted. It was now definitely Lily's favorite room in the grand mansion. Today they were in some beautiful Hawaiian paradise. Everyone had sleeping bags out on the balcony and they were having a glass of champagne, life couldn't be better at the moment, it was only missing a few key details.
Everyone was content with how the holiday had turned out, so when they returned to Hogwarts, they weren't that disappointed that it was their last Christmas holiday to be spent at students under the Hogwarts education. Unfortunately once classes started again, the teachers did not let up on the fact that their NEWTS were coming up and the strain did not go unnoticed, Lily was usually found having nervous break-downs yet again.
"I can't stand this, what do they think their playing at?" Lily cried in frustration one cold February evening in the library
"What do you mean?" James looked up from his potions essay.
"When am I ever going to need this in the wizarding world, hmm? Can you tell me how them making us do essays and sitting on our bums, is helping us and preparing us for the wizarding world?" she threw down her essay and leaned her head back against the chair. Lily and James both grinned as the clock on the wall suddenly rang nine o clock meaning Head boy and girl duty's were being called. This was yet another reason why Lily was particularly angry, because of the threat of Voldemort, James and Lily had extra nightly head duties. But usually this just meant snog time, which is particularly why they were happy at this moment.
After dropping their bags, books and essays off in their dormitories they started patrolling through the hallways. Lily loved patrolling the hallways at night, and not just for busting kids getting into trouble…but for the eerie calm that falls over the Castle. If filch and Mrs. Noris were on the other side of the castle or actually sleeping, then there was only the suits of armor, portraits, and ghosts to keep you company. Yet there was one thing that Lily hated in the castle at night, especially in these dark times. It was the threat of death that usually had them patrolling out so late into the darkness. They say that you should always be happy that your safe and protected here at Hogwarts, that nothing bad could happen to you. This was true…you would be safe at Hogwarts. Not your families back home, coming here had the illusion that once you set foot into that entrance way, through the grand oak doors, nothing could hurt you or anyone that you cared for…meaning your families. But most of the young students in the school had their fantasy of safety at Hogwarts broken down by the infamous villain that plagued the magical community. True Voldemort could never walk through the front doors of Hogwarts…but he got through them using other means. Using the means of the students and faculty's hearts. By chipping the spirits away, piece, by, piece. Wearing them down until all that was left was just bodies walking around, going through the motions of class, and meals. Nothing seemed right now that half the student body had been orphaned…or hurt. In fact, nothing was right.
They had been patrolling 45 minutes without saying a word. Just walking up and down corridors, and stairways. Checking in classrooms and broom closets. Going through the secret passageways to head off a supposed late night crawler. Nothing exciting had been happening, but Lily and James were content with each other's presence. It was a mutual silent feeling, but was there none-the-less. A few moments after passing Sir Cadogens portrait for the third time a feeling in the pit of James stomach started to take control as he held Lily's hand. He recognized this hunger, this pain in his heart whenever he wasn't with her. But she was walking right next to him at the moment, and he couldn't understand why she felt a million kilometers away.
"Lils?" he squeezed her hand gently to get her attention "All right there, love?"
"Hmm?" Lily turned to him slowly "Oh, yeah I'm fine…why?"
James shrugged trying to hide his concern "No reason, it's just that you seem really far away…"
She sent out something between a sigh and a laugh his way "Yes, I guess you can say I am pretty far away at the moment." She leaned towards James. He put his arm around her waist and she leaned her head on his shoulder, letting a small shiver escape her lips as he touched her. They always had that mysterious effect on each other.
"But you bring me right back down" She whispered
"Oh like……this?" he spun her around and started tickling her, first on her ribs, then under arms, the nape of her neck, and all other sensitive spots he had discovered on Lily's body.
She shrieked as he started to tickle her. "James-No! Please-stop" she couldn't stop laughing and he couldn't stop tickling her, wanting to see a smile on her face again. After realizing that they probably woke up the entire school, James grabbed Lily's hand and opened the nearest door closest to them.
Lily flopped down on a puff holding a stitch in her side. James never failed to get her at the perfect spots. It took her awhile to realize where they actually were. It was a room that resembled the Gryffindor Common Room, except smaller. Their was a grand fire with a few chairs and puffs scattered everywhere. In front of the fire was a large couch that looked as if it could fit six people.
James had also been looking at the curious new room. He noticed three doors. One door was in the back of the room, one on the far right, and another on the far left. James walked up to the room in the back of the room. It had some writing on it. 'Head Bathroom' 'Head bathroom what does that mean?'
"James!" Lily gasped. She had been reading the writing on the door to the far right. He rushed over to her. "James this says Head boy. This is the head's common room! Remember at the beginning of the year we had an option to either stay here or in the regular Gyffindor common room?"
"Bugger…yes! And we chose the regular dorms, because we know that sharing a dorm all to ourselves we be a-a…"
"A distraction." Lily finished sheepishly.
Turning the knob gently she entered the room and gasped. It looked like a kings bedroom. Not even Mr. and Mrs. Potters room compared to this. The floor was of course the Gryffindor colors and the four Poster bed seemed to be made of pure gold. The hangings were of course scarlet red, a lion with a crown on was the design on the curtains. Bookcases upon bookcases lined one wall and on another portraits of past head boy'' lined the wall. But the focal point of the room was of course the ceiling. It was completely glass so you could see the stars outside. The glass was shaped to be the symbol of Hogwarts, it was completely magical.
Lily's room was an exact replica except the colors were not so deep a red, and the pictures were of head Girls.
Lily and James grinned as they flopped onto the large couch curling up with each other.
"I reckon we should have taken these rooms instead of our dormitories…"
"James you know that we made the right choice-"
"Oh I know that. It's just that…I'm so bloody sick and tired of hearing Sirius mutter in his sleep about Tasha, and hearing Peter's snores!" Lily laughed
"Sirius talks about Tash in his sleep? She does the same thing…" Lily sighed putting her head on his shoulder
"Oh yeah? What does she say?" James asked putting his head on hers
"You know the usual, 'oh Sirius stop' 'Sirius you know I like that' 'your so wonderful Sirius' 'Sirius your such a bastard'"
James had been laughing at Lily's imitation, but stopped at the difference between the last comment and the others.
"'Sirius your such a bastard'?" James repeated
"Oh I don't think she means it in a negative way…if you know what I mean" Lily snickered
James grin returned as he rolled his eyes."Sirius' comments are the same…as that last one. I wouldn't be surprised if he woke up w-"
"James don't you dare say it, thats disgusting" Lily had hit James arm playfully
"What? I'm telling you the truth."
"The horny truth" Lily muttered
"The truth none-the-less" James replied
Lily rolled her eyes and checked the clock that was hanging over the bathroom door. It read 10:30. Lily groaned realizing that tomorrow was Friday, and she had double everything of all her worst most boring subjects. First double potions with the Slytherins, which spoke for itself as to how horrible the class was. Especially as she had Snape hitting on her the entire class. Tasha had overheard some Slytherin girl talking to Snape about how low he had stooped to be in love with a mudblood Gryffindor. Double Transfiguration with the Ravenclaws which wasn't that bad except that she was lacking a little bit in Transfiguration. Then double Arithmacy, Lily was very good at Arithmancy, but unfortunately she found it utterly boring.
Lily sighed thinking about all the pick-up lines Snape would use on her tomorrow, and how she would wince as Sirius and James cursed him underneath the tables. They were very disappointed that they couldn't drop anything inside his cauldron this year, being that Lily was his partner. So they accepted just pranking him in the Corridors and cursing him when the professor wasn't looking. James noticed the worried look on her face, and as usual picked up her line of thought.
"Worried about tomorrow?" James placed his hand in hers and helped her to get off the great comfy couch
"Not so much worried as I am sympathetic towards what torture your going to subject Snape too." Lily sighed heading through the door they came through. Taking one last glance around they headed out of the room, wondering whether or not they'd be able to find the room again.
"I still don't understand why your so sympathetic towards him?"
"Because he's not mean to me anymore you know. All it is, is annoying how much he asks me to drop you, and date him. How much he could give me that you couldn't. Please…"
James' stomach dropped at the thought of losing Lily, to Snape! It was a horrible thought to think, but the look on her face reassured him that it wouldn't be happening anytime soon.
"He told you all those things?" James half-laughed at the thought trying to cover up the worry and jealousy that he was feeling.
Lily laughed at his nervous state, and stopped walking. She turned James around so they were face to face and hugged him tightly. Leaning in close to his ear she whispered "James please, nothing is going to change the way I feel about you, all right? You are my one and only, love. I could never want or need anybody else but you. Just keep that thought in mind!" Lily brushed her lips against his ear lobe and winked as she continued walking towards the Tower.
James let out a groan as Lily's lips touched his ear. He watched for a moment as she walked away, tainting him, luring him to her with the little games she had learned to play with him. James ran up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, stopping her form walking.
She grinned to herself leaning back against him, caressing the muscular arms that were tightly wrapped around her. She felt the lusting heat rise up in her body, flooding her veins and taking control of emotions. She closed her eyes trying to push them down knowing that this was nor the time or place for her to let go some of the sexual tension built up inside her.
James bent his head down on her neck and started kissing and sucking lightly at the crook between neck and shoulder. Lily groaned in pleasure as a hickey soon formed on her little spot. Lily took James' hands in hers and started to massage his palms, letting out frustration, trying to hold back the hunger inside her body.
"James…no we can't" She begged, reluctantly pulling herself away from him. She leaned against the wall, breathing deep and closing her eyes. They both knew that if they rounded one more corner they would be at the Portrait hole. But James didn't want to take those few more steps. He watched as Lily tried to restrain herself, tried to stop the Heat coursing through her body. Knowing that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her brought a grin to his face.
He walked over and leaned his body against hers, making her eyes snap open. They were so close, bodies touching everywhere so that he could feel the screaming speed of her heartbeat. Both their chests were rising and falling with passion in each others skin. James' hand slid up Lily side and up to her neck. He touched the red stroke he had left upon her skin and kissed it gently. Lily still had a smidge of control over her body, with trying to regain it completely, she put her hand on his chest pushing him away just enough so he would look in her eyes. A mistake if she ever made one.
She was about to tell him that this was wrong, that they were Head Boy and Girl, and their conduct should be exemplary for the other students. That if they were caught their Head badges would be revoked, and they probably would be expelled, wands snapped, and humiliated in front of the entire student body. But as soon as James' hungry eyes met hers all thoughts of school conduct and responsibilities were forgotten.
Their lips met with such passions, such fire they had never known. James delved inside her mouth without asking his habitual sexual permission. Lily didn't care. Her hands were stroking his messy black hair, exploring his back, and tearing off his robes. James pulled apart aggressively grinning like a mad-man. He took her hand, with his robes half off his body, and ran towards the head common room. Thankfully they found it without problem. It was if a natural force guided them straight to it, without interruption by any teachers.
As soon as the door was shut and locked behind them Lily attacked James, which surprised him. She threw his robes off with a grin that made his insides churn. James started to unbutton her robes, as she fondled his ear lobe teasingly, biting it gently. He shivered with anticipation as her sweater vest and tie were ripped off. His were also pulled off with the same eroticism that burned in her eyes. They were kissing each other everywhere that could humanly be reached. Her arms, his neck, her back, his now bare powerful chest, everything possible to touch, was kissed.
They were both now pressed against each other. Lily had her arms around James' neck, exploring his body, sucking on his skin when she reached a sensitive stretch. He unclasped her lacy bra and threw it to the side, stopping for a second to admire her supple breasts he felt his heat increase even more. Lily took his hands brought them swiftly to her chest, helping him massage them, trace over her hard nipples. Another moan escaped her throat as pleasure and want traveled south. James pulled her to him letting her breasts brush against his bare chest, taking in the wonderful feeling of their hard nipples melding together.
"James…" Lily whispered kissing him harder than ever, and moving back towards the couch.
James' leg caught on the sofa and he tripped bringing her with him. Laying there on the large couch, skin touching skin, heartbeat against heartbeat. Lily smiled at James, true happiness in both their eyes. Slowing down a little, James reached up and brushed his lips against hers, his hunger intensifying(as Lily felt beneath her)with each grope, each scratch, each perfect movement. With one swift gesture, Lily was now beneath James taking him in with pleasure and pain Increasing. Decreasing. In. Out. In. Out. And the night moved on.
Why at that moment had their emotions sky-rocketed? Why on this eerie lonely night had their hormones become irrepressible? Was it the missed prospect of actually sharing a dorm together, all alone? Was it the jealousy inside James at the potentiality of Snape taking her from him? Neither knew, all they knew was that they needed each other. They wanted each other. They loved each other.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The morning was extremley loud. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining on a cold February morning. According to Lily if she had ruled the world no birds would be aloud to chirp, sing, dance, jig or anything in the mornings. But for some odd reason after a few moments of mentally cursing the chipper birds, a feeling of happiness and serenity washed over her. Sighing and not looking forward to the day ahead of her, she attempted to get up but found it quite hard being that something was constricting her mobility, and the fact that she was amazingly sore. She looked down and noticed an arm wrapped around her body, and the night came flooding back to her. From the first little spark of feeling, to the amazing climax, to just falling asleep in each others arms. Looking back over the night, Lily leaned back against James chest tracing along the line of his muscles.
"Good morning" James whispered. He had been watching her rustle around trying to figure out why she wasn't in her bed in the common room, and here on this couch.
Lily looked up at him and smiled. All that was covering them, were James' and hers robes, not very successfully one might add.
"M-m-morning" she said fighting to hold back a yawn, and losing gracefully.
James chuckled "I must say Lily Flower, that you look absolutely stunning in the buff."
She gaped up at him and hit him playfully. "Excuse me…it's not that you haven't seen anything like this before." She muttered
"And exactly what are you implying future Mrs. Potter?"
"That's right and if you want it to stay that way you better shut that gaping hole in your face!"
"My my my, aren't we grumpy in the morning, I think-"
Lily turned around and kissed him passionately. When she broke apart, all he could do was grin like the dolt he was.
"I've always had that effect on people." Lily sat up and stretched, attempting to keep James' robe covering her front. While wrapping the Robes around her Lily caught sight of the clock hanging over the bathroom door.
"Oh holy shit!" she exclaimed as James got up to stretch also.
"I know I know. I'm just that good looking…" She hit him in the chest and pointed to the clock
"No you prat look at the bloody clock! It's 8:30 and classes start at-"
"At nine! Oh bugger, where are my pants…" James cried looking around
"I don't know, bollucks, where's my bra?"
"Edge of couch." He threw them at her and she pulled it on.
"This is so gross we have to go change when we get back to the common room, and quick!" Lily cried as she pulled her skirt and shoes on. James was pulling up his pants as he realized he had the wrong robes. Shoving his robes into Lily's hands and taking his from the couch, he bolted for the door but turned around last minute.
"You ready?" Lily nodded as she tucked in her blouse to her skirt, grabbed his hand and ran off through the corridors. Five minutes later they saw students walking back up to their dormitories from breakfast to retrieve their bags. Lily and James yelled the password at the portrait, and sprinted up the stairs, each to their own dormitory. They had completely missed Sirus, Remus, and Tasha sitting on the couch waiting for them to arrive. With one huge grin at each other Remus and Sirius ran up to James. And Tasha walked up casually to hers and Lily's dorm.
When she entered Lily was in a state of disarray. Her hair was wet as she had cast a cleaning charm on it, and her clothes were scattered all along the floor. She spotted Tasha and tried to hide the immense blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"Hey Tash, why didn't you wake me up this morning? I'm going to be late now! And with no breakfast!" she tried to cover up for her absence. Making it seem as if she'd been there all along.
"Oh I dunno Lil, maybe it's because you weren't there to WAKE UP!" Tasha exclaimed "Where have you and James been…all night long?" Tasha asked curiously
Lily just shrugged "Tasha, I have no idea as to what you are talking about now please, help me find my clean sweater vest…I seemed to have misplaced it…"
Tasha threw her one "Take mine, Lil don't lie to me. Sirius and Remus said you and James had gone off for patrolling at nine o' clock. But you never came back, and according to Siri, and Remmy neither did James. So cut the crap and tell me all the juicy tantalizing details!"
Lily was staring at her wide eyed as Tasha reasoned with her. She had never been very good at hiding anything from Tasha. So she gave in. She told her of every emotion, every kiss, every touch. She told of the grand head common room and the bedrooms within. She told of how she had never felt a feeling of passion like that before. Last night was so unique and different and wonderful, nothing would ever compare.
Tasha just grinned at her, as Lily explained. The look on her face was one of pure love, nothing could stop it, even if Lily could never admit it.
"Lil?" Tasha and Lily were rushing towards double Potions, the boys hadn't come down from their dorms yet.
"Yes?" Lily panted
"Why won't you admit that you love him?" That question stopped Lily
"What are you talking about?"
"You love James right?"
"umm..uh-huh..mm.." she let out a line of noises that somewhat had something to do with the word yes.
"Lily just admit it, he loves you, you love him. How else could what happened last night be explained?" They continued down the steps to the dungeons.
"Listen Tash, can we talk about this later?" she whispered as she entered the classroom "I've got an admirer to face" she headed to her desk in the middle of the class where Severus Snape had been waiting eagerly.
"Good morning Lily." Snape chimed unusually happy
"Good morning Severus." Lily was desperately trying holding back her contempt for him and being nice, since he had not provoked her to make a snide comment.
"You slept well Lily I hope?"
Lily smiled and let out a sigh as she thought of James
"With all the comforts of the world"
"Glad to hear it…" but he was eyeing the dreamy look on her suspiciously
Meanwhile, James was having quite a lot of trouble trying to get his act together for class. Also he was having a hard time trying to ward off Sirius and Remus' questions.
"Where were you last night Prongs, ol' buddy, ol' Pal?" Remus asked leaning casually on the wall with his arms crossed.
"I was patrolling last night, you know that." His hair was wet as he had just gotten out of the shower. He had forgotten the cleaning charm Lily once taught him.
"Were you patrolling alone?" sirius was enjoying every second of this
"No, I was with Lily. You both also knew that." He was now gathering all his books into his bag and sprinting down the stairs
"Oh come now Jamie boy we won't tell anyone what happened?" sirius called after him in the corridors.
The bell had rang and all three of them were late.
"Yes, please tell us as to why you never came back to bed? And why Lily also-"
"Shh" James hissed at them "Do want to shout it out to the entire Castle?" He was walking swiftly down the steps now
"Fine, but we continue this conversation later prongs!" sirius walked into the classroom and sat down next to Molly, who was his partner.
"Whatever Padfoot" James shrugged sitting down next to Tasha, in back of Sirius
Remus and Wormtail were also partners. Poor Lily had gotten the short end of the stick. Lily looked back at James, and grinned. He smiled back at her and winked.
She turned her attention back to the professor.
While they were brewing a heavy sleeping draught Snape tried to work up conversation with Lily again.
"So Lily, still dating Potter?" he spat out the name as if it were some vile feces that he had been forced to eat.
"Yes I'm still dating James, and I don't ever intend on a period where I'm not dating James. So if you are going to ask what I assume you are going to ask Severus." She turned to him "Don't."
"But Lily I-"
"Stop! Please we both know that I care for James greatly and you have been nothing but a thorn in my side ever since I stepped foot into this Castle. What the bloody hell makes you think that I could ever like someone who on countless occasion has humiliated me and called me prejudice derogatory names, just because I'm muggle-born?" she hissed angrily at him
"But I've changed, I'm attempting to look past that now!" Snape begged with her, but she just couldn't believe what she was hearing
"Oh are you truly, Snape? Because that would be wonderful for me to be dating someone who has to fight with himself everyday, just to look past something that is completely irrelevant to the fact and level of magic that I can perform."
"But I haven't called you a mudblood for over a year now…doesn't that count for change?"
"You still laugh and glare whenever your mates are around though don't you? You never make the comments but still snicker alongside them. That's just as bad you bloody prick. So don't come crying to me about how much of a changed man you are just because you don't say the words. I would personally like to see some action involved with it. Then maybe I'll consider that you've changed." Lily took a deep breath and started to vigorously grind the beetle legs while calming her nerves.
Sirius and Molly, who sat right behind them let out long winded whistles. Molly mouth had been hanging open at the ferocity of Lily's comments. But Sirius had been grinning from ear to ear.
"I'm so proud…" He muttered wiping a fake tear from his cheek.
"Oh shut up Sirius." Molly muttered grinning "So did you ever find out where they were all night?" she asked
"No, James keeps skiving off our questions. But I think Tasha got through to Lily, all I have to do is get it out of her."
"If it's important or emotional to Lily, Tasha will never tell. Not even me!" Molly mused
"Oh I have my ways of convincing her." Sirius grinned
"I'm sure you do but, they won't work. Trust me!"
"Please Tash!" Sirius begged at lunch. He had been bugging her all morning to tell him what Lily had spilled.
"I've told you a million times Sirius, she told me nothing. Now stop pestering me and let me eat!" Tasha avoided his gaze, knowing that once she looked into his eyes all walls and barriers would crumble.
"I know your lying. You can't lie to me!" Sirius teased as he took her fork and knife away from her.
"Hey! I'm eating Sirius, give those back!" She looked longingly at the utensils that had been taken away
"Not until you tell me what Lily told-"
"Padfoot!" James cried turning from his conversation with Remus "Just shut it all right?"
Sirius looked as if he were about to say something, but then thought better of it. It's not as if they didn't know what happened, he just wanted to find out the details. Like where in the hell in the castle are you going to go off and do something like that. Sighing he gave up Tasha's utensils and turned to his own lunch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~
The day went by slowly and painfully. Not only did they have two tumultuous hours of Binns, but James and Lily had Sirius nagging them the whole time about last night. Lily thanked Merlin that she had so much homework and research to do that night, because that meant she needed to go to the library, and the library is the one place Sirius would not go.
So grabbing her books from her dorm, and giving James a kiss in the cheek in the common room, Lily bolted for the Library so Sirius couldn't ask her any last minute questions. She slowed her pace as she pushed the swinging creaky swinging doors open to the large Library. She walked to the Charms section of the library, where her usual table to study at resided.
It was a moment or two after after she put her books down on the table that she realized she wasn't the only person at the table. Her head shot up from her book bags as she heard the two words muttered that send shivers down her spine.
"Hello mudblood."
Lily's body froze. She had never truly been afraid of Malfoy, but all their other encounters had been different than this. She had company with her, she had one of the marauders with her. Right now, there was no one around her except Malfoy and that evil glare he had been shooting her, her whole life. But something was different about his look this night, it was smug, it was grinning as if he had just won a prize, she didn't like that look.
"Your such a git Malfoy!" Lily grabbed her books and got up from the table, fully intending on ending this encounter as soon as possible. But the force of a hand grabbing her wrist, stopped her body from working. It was so cold, so brutal, and with each step that she heard coming closer to her all her defenses and witty comments left her. All that was left was the fact that her wand was in the Gryffindor Common Room, and if she used her powers in front of him, a lot of problems would follow.
"What did you call me, mudblood?" Malfoy tightened his grip on her wrist to the point where bruising would be definite. He pulled her around so she would be facing him. He slowly looked her up and down as if observing a cow that he was about to buy.
"It's a shame that such a pretty little thing like you, had to be born in such unfortunate circumstances…" with a strong push he shoved her into the nearest chair
"What do you want Malfoy?" Lily asked quietly massaging her bruised wrist
"What makes you think I want anything mudblood?" Lily winced at the name
"Well for one thing, you won't let me leave."
"You can leave, after I've had a few words with you, mudblood." He sneered at her
Lily rolled her eyes trying to keep her temper down "Ok I get it, you think I have filthy blood, Malfoy. Now please just tell what it is your forcing me to hear, so I can go study."
"Temper, Temper, Ms. Evans. You know it still amazes me, how you, a filthy mudblood, can be related to the Great Salazaar Slytherin." Lily's head that had been eyeing her slightly glowing green hands, shot up. Had he just said what she thought he said? Did Malfoy know? The look on his face clarified it all. He knew. If he knew about her powers, what did he know about James?
"Again I ask, What do you want Malfoy?" she racked her mind looking around the stacks of books for some sort of answer, some sort of escape out of this situation. Then it came to her. James' power was to talk through minds, through his sub-conscience. Lily had sometimes felt the tugging in her mind, whenever James' eavesdropped into her thoughts. She never minded, but now she was desperate to feel that tugging. Desperate to talk to him.
"I seemed to have overheard you talking to my friend Severus this morning in Potions. I think your influence on him has gone a little too far, don't you?" he ran his his fingers through her hair, like he owned her. This did not feel right.
She shut her eyes, not wanting to look at his evil face, a face that had the look of hunger on it. As if hunting for it's prey, and realizing he's got it trapped in his grasp.
'James please, where are you?' she begged her mind. She begged him to come to her.
"Oy James, how long are you going to take on this turn?" Sirius bellowed through out the common room.
He and James were playing Wizard's chess, but James' mind wasn't exactly on the game. A strange sense of disruption had filtered into his body.
"Something isn't right…" James muttered getting up from the game "Something doesn't feel right…" He had his head in his hands thinking hard as to why this night wasn't settling.
"Missing Lily already mate? She's only been gone for about twenty minutes, I don't think you have anything to worry about."
"Where did she say she was going again?" James asked looking over at Sirius
"Library, as usual. And I thought we'd cured her from her study-holic problem, I guess you can't convert them all, can you." He grinned up at James, but it vanished as soon as he saw the worried look on his face "All right there prongs?"
James shook his head "No something's wrong, will you come with me to the library? I want to check on Lily."
Seeing how serious he was about this Sirius nodded in consent. James had always had a sixth sense about these things, and when it came to Lily he was usually right on target.
While walking to the library James tapped into Lily's mind, just trying to locate her. But what he heard was anything but settling. 'James please, where are you?' he heard over and over again. With a sped up heart beat and a definite location James made a mad dash through the library doors, earning him a glare from Madame Pince.
Lily felt that usual tug on her mind and thanked Merlin for it. She talked through her mind to James muttering where she was, and that she needed him fast. Malfoy now had his hands on her shoulder, which with every word that came out of his mouth grew tighter and tighter.
"You will not talk to Severus any more do you understand? Even if he begs you, I don't need your filthy blood staining his pureblood. He comes from a long line of great wizards, and you, are his only weakness to achieving greatness." He hissed at her with
venom
"With pleasure, I'd rather be drowned by the giant squid than have to talk to anyone who would associate themselves with a greasy git like you." She spat.
This pushed him over the edge. With one swift movement he had her on the floor. A pounding pain on her left eye, where he had just punched her. "You stupid little girl." He muttered raising crouching down next to the fallen girl.
Lily saw Malfoys eyes roam up and down her body, his large hand traced a line from her forehead down to her ear. Fondling her ear lobe, he bent down and whispered in such a way that sent shivers through Lily's body.
"Master has great plans for you…being the only descendants of Slytherin you know." Taking in sharp breaths, Lily tried to get up and run but Malfoy held her tightly. His lips grazed her ear and started to nibble slowly on her lobe. Pulling back slightly he whispered more to her. "A child, who's mother and father had such power would be the ultimate wizard. The ultimate evil…"
Lily closed her eyes as absolute fear washed over her. So this is why Voldemort had always been after her, why he had killed her muggle parents. Why he never let his Death Eaters stop chasing them. Why Dumbledore had increased Lily's training sessions with James. But that mean he knew…he knew Voldemort's intentions and never told Lily? How could he with hold such relevant information from her? Hate started to rise up inside her throat, like bile.
She looked around her and saw a large vase on top of a bookcase, she summoned her powers and soon had lifted it over Malfoy's head. Unfortunately he saw her concentrating hard on something in back of him, and before she could drop it Malfoy had skived it of course with his wand. Strangely the vase didn't even make a sound when it crashed. Malfoy smirked at the look of defeat on Lily's face, and how she had become considerably weaker after using her powers.
Malfoy continued his his sick seduction of evil on Lily. She had never seen a look like this on any man's face before, except in movies, when you knew what he wanted and how the girl didn't. That hunger for knowing who has the power, and who is the weaker person. In this case, Malfoy knew who had the power, and he was basking in it.
"Once The Dark Lord has claimed you…and ravished you…your child will be implanted into another womans body. A much more adequately and loyal servant than a mudblood! And then he just might give you to me for some play time…" his tongue traced a trail from her ear to her mouth, slowly sucking on pulse points before reaching his destination.
Lily had never felt so dirty in her entire life than she did at this moment. She wanted nothing else to be rid of Malfoy's sickening touches, caress' in forbidden places, in places she never thought he would ever be able to touch. His tongue reached her mouth and forced entry. Lily was now desperately trying to release herself from his grip, squirming at the feeling of his tongue wriggling in her mouth, and his lips pressed rigorously on hers. His hands had roamed up her shirt and through her hair, everywhere they had been forsaken to go, they went.
Lily only wanted to cause him some kind of pain, some kind of embarrassment that he had bestowed upon her. So with all the courage she had, she bit down on the writhing snake inside her mouth and tasted the blood that was swiftly pouring from the punctures.
"Fuck!" Malfoy hissed as he pulled back, still holding her tightly causing more bruises to form beneath her clothing "You going to pay for that, mudbood" he raised his hand to strike her "And not just now, but for the rest of your life!"
