A/N: I have created something horrible. No this chapter is just beautiful
fluff. Just forgive me because I was listening to björk's homogenic and
felt kind of funny. I've been real busy with school these days and haven't
been able to write but I'll try to be faster next time. I had to make J/L
happy for once because once again I remembered what would happen to them.
I'm not so happy with Sirius and Anoesis though. And I rewrote the first
and second chapters and I hate them now. Just don't mind and REVIEW when
you're done if you want me to continue the story.
DISCLAIMER: same as before. All listen to björk's homogenic. It's a great album.
We will be saved
When the boys finally got back from hogsmeade they found Sirius in their dorm sitting on his bed and staring into nowhere. James' good mood faded away instantly.
"What's wrong Sirius?" he asked as soon as they had closed the door behind them: "You look terrible".
Sirius flinched seeming to notice them just then. He sighed deeply and heart-breakingly: "I'm such an ass", he quietly said.
"Tell us something we don't know", Remus said smiling and climing into his bed.
"I think me and noses broke up." Sirius went on not caring about Remus.
Remus looked down from his bed now worried: "How is that possible? What happened?"
"You think. You're not absolutely sure?" asked James. Peter was snoring by now and James threw a pillow over his face, which made him wake up suddenly and loudly. No one paid any attention.
"I'm such an ass", Sirius repeated.
"What happened?" asked James in his turn calmly.
"I..I was a bit... a bit too persistent", Sirius kind of woke up suddenly: "You know how it is. It's the hormones and all and my life was so different before-"
"You didn't.?!?" Peter was wide awake again.
Sirius looked at him disgusted: "Of course not! God! . I just, you know asked, and well asked again, and again". He looked at the others shamefully.
James smiled. He looked at the boy who seemed so much smaller than usually.
"Sirius, you had a fight", he said sweetly.
"I noticed!" Sirius answered extremely frustrated.
Remus was looking at the boy now too: "A fight doesn't necessarily mean you broke up", he said slowly and clearly.
Sirius looked up at the two like a small innocent puppy. He suddenly had new energy in him.
"What?" he asked.
The boys laughed: "Go apoligize. It's not the end of the world", James answered now already forgetting the problem and turning away from the boy.
"okay", Sirius said an was off.
Remus was still looking at the door after Sirius' departure.
"That ass", he said and turned off the lights.
It didn't take Sirius long to get to the window of the Ravenclaw dorm. He had been their often before to pick up Anoesis for nightly strolls or other such beautiful things. Anoesis' bed was right beside the large window.
The room Sirius was looking into was dark and calm. Moonlight shone from the window and lit a small rectangle on the floor up. It was shining clean and you could see every little hair on the house ferret's back, who liked to sleep with the girls the most. One of Anoesis' dormmates had taken it into her care and it had almost become her personal pet.
No other house had anything like a house pet with them and tales told that the spirit of Ravenclaw had through the years been conjured into a physical form. Usually Ravenclaws were the ones to try out new spells and come up with solutions. They say the ferret had been just another experiment.
Sirius knocked quietly on the window. The ferret looked up with moist eyes and twitched it's nose. The window opened and Sirius could step in quietly without waking anyone up. Sometimes feeding ferrets paid off. He left his broom hovering outside the glass.
Sirius hesitated a while not sure if his intentions were wise, but after looking at the dark hump on the bed by the window he couldn't resist anymore.
He went and sat on the bed so as to better stroke the girl's short hair. She twitched, but didn't wake up. He bowed down and gently blew into her ear. She moaned and stirred a bit more. Sirius breathed deeply and looked at the girl lovingly. He couldn't believe how perfect she was. He couldn't believe how horrible he had felt when she had left him in the grounds.
Sirius knew Anoesis was a light sleeper and didn't want to scare her awake so he just waited. And it didn't take long until she opened her eyes slowly and carefully. Sirius was now sitting on the floor a little way further. He didn't want to shock the girl.
Anoesis blinked and looked at him. She jumped a little but controlled herself. Sirius could see no warmth in her eyes though. He didn't know what to do.
Something or someone turned around beside Anoesis. A hand came from underneath the covers and wrapped itself around her waist. Sirius didn't really mind though. He knew it was Edna who had come to comfort the girl after he had acted like a total like he had acted.
"I'm sorry", he mouthed, afraid to let out one sound.
Anoesis just stared at him with those cold eyes. Sirius knew she was never going to forgive him. He could see himself dying alone in a little dirty cabin, poor and wretched. He was afraid to think it, but he knew that without Anoesis he didn't have a chance in the world.
Her eyes melted but did not become warm. The moonlight shining from them showed only grief, great grief. She pointed to the window and closed her eyes again.
Sirius didn't move. He sat there for half an hour until giving up. He petted the ferret who had now climbed into Anoesis' bed and left through the window feeling worse than he ever had before.
Sirius had stayed in bed all day. James was shameful because he just couldn't care less. Today was the day he would meet Lily in the common room. He couldn't wait.
Lily had slept all morning. She was excited about meeting James, but at the same time a bit frightened. What if the boy brought up the issue again. What if he insisted on telling the whole school of their relationship? At nightfall she walked down the stairs of their dorm heart thumping. James was already waiting for her.
"Good day milady", James said bowing.
"Good evening", Lily smiled as she was closed into James' lap for a slow kiss. Lily didn't really believe anything like this could happen. Especially to her. It felt so unbelievably amazing, that she never wanted to wake up from the dream.
They moved on to the couch and stared into the fire in each others arms. Their was so much to talk about.
"We found something new earlier today", James said resting his head on Lily's stomach. The girl fumbled with the boy's already messy hair.
"Really? There's still more to find?" Lily asked softly.
"Ooh darling you couldn't imagine"
"What did you find?" Lily asked placing a small kiss on the boy's head.
"I'll have to show you that", James said rising up and pulling the girl up with him. "Right now".
Lily looked at him and smiled: "C'mon then", she pulled James to the portrait with all her might.
James laughed and stole a kiss before they climbed out of the common room. They walked slowly and quietly only giggling once in a while. They're hands were intertwined, and once in a while James would give his girl a twirl on their way.
They were heading for the astronomy tower. The tower was empty, even though the fact it was commonly known as a snogging place. James took Lily one story higher still, to an unused attic where the shape of the sloping roof acted as a ceiling. Lily could see no way of getting on the top. They were in the highest tower of Hogwarts which no one was supposed to be interested in. The attic had formerly been used as a storage room but had been left empty now because of some problems with safety.
James put out his candle so that everything went dark.
He smiled and gave the girl a kiss before proceeding to get his wand out. He walked round the small room dragging his wand around the round wall leaving a shimmering silver line. Lily smiled, it was beautiful. She felt so lucky. James came to her from behind and put his hands around her waist. He kissed her neck and whispered, so that only she could hear:
"Avtar".
The round sloping roof opened up like an orange peeling itself into six sections. They were left standing in the wind high above the whole castle under the stars. Lily gasped. No moon was out that night and all the stars were brighter than ever before. They could see all the little lights of the castle windows in the dorms. The forest opened before them with these strange dark figures flying out of it once in a while. The milky way shone out in the middle of everything like a heavenly wave. The couple stood in their place for a long time before coming out of the spell. Lily turned around in the boy's lap and kissed him long and slowly. She had never felt quite as safe before.
**************
Hagrid had been taking Fang for an evening walk in the forest and had once again bumped into the centaurs. They didn't seem to be quite as careful nowadays as they used to be. They had said in their deep, lovely, happy voices:
"Tonight is the night when all will be decided, tonight we will be saved".
Hagrid had laughed at them. They had a custom of making everything big and important. There was probably a new generation of dirm (a small tender mammal hunted by centaurs) growing in the forest.
But when he came out of the forest and saw the open tower and the two figures melted into one shadow he added up all the prophecies and found a small tear rolling out of his eye. The two were important.
***********************
James and Lily spent almost the whole night on that tower. Little did they in their happiness know of their unfortunate future.
They left the tower hand in hand, happy and sleepy. Both felt so surreal.
So the shock of the footsteps coming nearer was magnified and James lept behind a statue a bit too quickly crunching Lily against the wall. Lily didn't seem to notice though for she closed her eyes and breathed deeply frightened out of her wits. This time James could hug her and whisper into her ear, making her know that everything was alright.
The footsteps came from Dumbledore and a small strange companion of his.
"What do you mean?" Dumbledore was wearing a stern expression and walking quickly.
"I mean that something has been clever and powerful enough to get into Gringrotts last night", said the strange man.
"I mean this something is getting closer to Hogwarts by location and resources. I mean that this is the place they're heading for".
Dumbedore looked worried: "I was afraid you would say that".
The two had advanced to the end of the hallway already while Lily and James stayed hiding. They looked at each other wearing questioning expressions. James wanted so badly to go after the pair, but didn't want the evening with Lily to end quite yet. Lily relaxed soon forgetting about the two and whispered to James with her back still against the wall:
"Remember the last time we were like this", she smiled.
James couldn't help smiling too and nodding. He looked into those green eyes as he had done that one extraordinary night and brushed Lily's hair off her shoulders:
"I remember I wanted to kiss you so badly", he smiled and bit the girl on the nose.
Lily could feel the boy's heart beating. She loved the way the weight of his body was leaning on hers. She kissed him sweetly:
"Well now you can", she was able to say before sinking into the moment.
DISCLAIMER: same as before. All listen to björk's homogenic. It's a great album.
