Chapter Five: Uh-oh! We're in Trouble!

Petunia opened her black wooden door, saw the stag and flicked it's nosed while giggling.  The Marauders and Lily were stunned. Lily had never heard Petunia giggle before.

"You're a silly little animal aren't you?  How'd you get in here?" She cooed softly.

James, knowing not to disturb this 'moment' played along while softly nuzzling her dress pockets.  Of course he could smell the apple she had been eating and took it from her pocket.

"Oi! Give that back!" She giggles again. But this time, she was really laughing.

Soon, everyone but James was laughing.  They watched her play with him and everything.  He even let her get on his back.  Lily was starting to feel jealous, but she knew it was for the best.  Her sister could be evil and mean, but now she was showing her softer side. The one she had never shown before.

When Lily finally interrupted, it had been an hour.  She pretended to shoo James away and he ran down the stairs and out the door that Sirius had opened.  Lily could see that Petunia's heart had been broken, but still, James can't stay stag forever.

"Maybe it'll come back," Lily told her younger sister.

"I doubt it," she said back sourly.

Lily ran out of the house to find James eating the apple under her oak tree.  Lily ran to him and hugged him as hard as she could.  After she let go, she kissed him on the cheek.

"That was fantastic!" she yelled.

James just grinned and took another bite of his stolen apple.

"Could you do that again next time?" Lily pleaded.

James shook his head and said, "No way, I can't. What if someone finds out? Your lucky your mum didn't see."

Lily's eyes started to water. She was never going to see her sister so happy again. Then she had an idea. She went up to James and grinned at him with a little gleam n her eye.

"What the-" but he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence before Lily kissed him right then and there. Of course, she didn't see James give the thumbs up sign to his friends who were watching out the window, but she feel his hands going down her back.  She knew it was going to lead to something else so she broke the connection quickly.

They stared at each other, thinking of things only known to themselves until Remus came up and interrupted.

"I think we need to go home," Remus grinned and winked at James.

"Yea," James said, obviously breathless, "Bye."

"Bye," Lily replied dreamily.
