James stormed into the room and straight up to me.
"Where you with Sirius the other day?" he demanded.
"Yeah… why?"
He looked at me, shocked, "How can you be so cool about it!" he raged.
"Why are you so upset? You're always hanging around my friends when I'm not there, so why can't I hang around Sirius!"
"Because it's unnatural!"
'define natural James…' I thought.
"Why are you so upset I did something 'unnatural'! It's not like you don't do anything of the sort."
James fumed. "SIRIUS! GET YOU'RE FUCKING ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"
Sirius sauntered down the stairs of the boys dormitory and up to them. "What's up mate?" he said, he no clue what was going on.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH MY GIRLFRIEND THE OTHER DAY?!?!"
Sirius looked shocked. "Nothing, I just took her around on my bike."
"And since when were you so concerned, James Brandon Potter." she said in a low voice, barely audible. "You're over there in the corner with Katy Rakins last time I looked. You seemed much more concerned on where she was touching you to notice me at all," she said to the ground, looking at her feet.
James was speechless for a second.
"I wasn't even touching her!"
Lily sprang up and slapped him. He held a shocked look on his face as he clutched his face. "Ow!"
"Liar… you were always a bad liar and I saw you. To think I even bothered to look at you- TO THINK! I EVEN BOTHERED TO LET YOU TOUCH ME AT ALL! YOU!" she screeched, pointing a finger at him, "ARE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF CRAP! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU'RE FACE AGAIN!" She screeched and stormed out of the common room. James looked around, every one was staring. Famous James Potter just got dumped by his girlfriend.
He fumed, clutching his hands into fists. He saw Katy out of the corner of his eye, slinking toward him. He looked straight at her.
"You wanna go to the Astronomy Tower with me tonight Katy?" Katy clearly had the biggest bust in the school, she had a reputation.
"James, don't be stupid," muttered Sirius beside him.
She walked over and batted her eyelashes, tracing the curve of his face with a long slender finger. She made a long scene of adjusting herself in front of him. Tugging her skirt, flicking her hair, straightening her shirt; and all through the whole thing he only stared at one spot that was way too low to be her head.
"Sure James," she finally said in a low seductive voice and she took his hand, leading him out of the common room. Just as he was out of sight, he saluted to Sirius and disappeared.
God James, Why do you have to be so blind? Sirius thought to himself, and went back up the stairs to his dormitory's to grab his wand.
***
Déjà vu. How many time's can you have the exact same feeling in one day, from the exact same person?
She was running out of the castle again and to her Tree. Her safe place, her refuge. She flung off her cloak and was standing there in her pj's. She let the cool air wash over her, and then she stepped into the lake, still hidden behind a veil of leaves. Her pj bottoms were wet, but right now, she wasn't in a very caring mood. She walked out far so the water was up to her hips. She shivered from the cold. She saw the great silver rock, illuminated by the moon, near the center of the lake. She nodded her head and dived in.
***
Sirius was running past dark trees, the only light coming from his wand. He raced to his bike, and hopped on. He tapped it with his wand, and the engine burst to life, ripping apart the silence. He took off into the air, passing the canopy of the tree's and out into the open air.
Exhilaration.
Freedom.
No worries.
This was what he lived for.
He slammed on the gas and shot off toward the lake.
From high above he could see a figure in the lake. It was steadily making it's way toward the center of the lake toward a big rock. And the moonlight stuck her hair in such a way, and he realized it was Lily.
He suddenly had a horrible thought. Was she trying to kill herself?
***
Lily reached the rock and climbed on. She heard it again. The rumble of an engine, a slight humming noise. She looked up. Déjà vu.
I swear, if I have déjà vu one more time tonight…
The black motorcycle came down and floated by the rock, engine rumbling again.
"Lily what are you doing!" Sirius demanded.
"What do you want Sirius?"
"What do I- come on now Lily. What were you thinking! It's 1am!"
"I- I felt like going for a swim," she said.
"Going for a swim my ass! Get on!"
"Sirius you can't order me around all the time!"
"Lily, no seriously, get on."
"DÉJÀ VU!" she screamed, but got on anyways. Being wet and speeding through the night air, Lily grew cold.
"Lily, take my cloak,"
"I'm okay," she managed to say through chattering teeth.
"Why are you always resisting, untie my cloak and put it on yourself." She complied.
"Won't you be cold?" she said, relishing the warmth she had stolen from him.
"I'll be okay,"
"Like hell you will," She wrapped herself around him and pulled the cloak over him as well.
***
They had been flying for ½ an hour in a comfortable silence. Lily's eyes were dropping as she rested her head on his back. She felt content.
"Lily?" Sirius asked in a soft voice.
"Yeah?" she said, sleepily.
"What were you doing out in the middle of the lake?"
"Nothing… water always calms me, so I figured if I was surrounded by it I would be able to escape for a minute and just think…" her voice trailed off.
"Are you cold?"
"No," she whispered, she snuggled deeper into his back.
"Hey! You can't fall asleep back there, you might fall off," he admonished softly. Lily shifted her head, " well I'm going to," she said, her voice airy. Sirius lead the bike to a halt in mid air.
"Get in front of me,"
"Why," she asked, sleepily.
"So if you fall asleep you won't fall off, I'll be able to hold you if you start slipping,"
"Okay,"
Sirius slipped his arms around her and pulled her in front of him. He took off the cloak and put it on him, wrapping it around her as well. She leaned back into him and sighed.
"Thanks Sirius," she whispered.
Sirius listened to her breathing as he drove on, soft and light. He looked down at her for a minute and into her gentle face, her slender neck. Maybe James really was blind. The only parts he could see from a girl were her breasts down. Sirius shifted her slightly in his arms, her head rested on his shoulder. She was so beautiful.
He knew exactly where to take her.
