Chapter 9 Sparks and Love

At dinner that Saturday night, Lizzie, Alisa, Kari, Sirius, and Remus watched in wonder as Lily and James sat at THE SAME TABLE without biting each others heads off or leaving the great hall in a huff.
Alisa raised her eyebrows and leaned over to Sirius. "Um, do you see something wrong with this picture?" She whispered.
Sirius looked at Lily and James and nodded. "Oh, yeah."
The dinner passed slowly, without much conversation. Lily and James were standing each other, but they weren't necessarily being friendly, or anything.

Monday night found Sirius in the commons, trying to figure out the extremely complicated charms homework.
"When changing and light bulb into a bird, the equation is 9x²÷¾(9ª). Please simplify and solve. Also, write out the magic words, as well as which syllables are accentuated." He read to himself. "What????"
Alisa wandered into the room, looking for her Defense Against the Dark Arts book.
Seeing her, Sirius's face lit up, she was exceptionally good at Charms. "Alisa! Do you think that you could help me with the Charms homework? Please?!"
She blushed slightly. (A/N: Remember, she likes him!) "Of course."
Alisa sat on the sofa next to Sirius, their knees touching a little. "Ok, this charm? Remember, we learned about it a few days ago. Remember? X equals 24..."
Throughout the lesson, Sirius began to find very difficult to concentrate. He had never noticed how pretty Alisa was before, and there she was leaning into him, her leg touching his knee.
"So, to figure this out, square the number right there..." He heard her say, vaguely.
Without warning, he cupped her face in his hands, kissing her long and gently on the lips.

Lizzie and Remus sat in the empty boys' dorm, talking about school, family...life.
Remus couldn't believe his good luck in being able to get and keep a girl that he really liked, well, actually, loved. She was everything that he wanted. Smart, pretty, and honest.
He kissed her softly.
"What was that for?" Lizzie asked, smiling.
Turning away, Remus answered quietly, "You're going to think I'm really stupid for this, but I wanted to tell you that...that I think I love you. I hope you feel the same way."
Lizzie smiled. Turning his face toward her, she kissed him. "I love you too."
"Really?" Remus asked happily before kissing her passionately.
Lizzie pulled his shirt off, revealing a sculpted stomach and chest. "I love you so much." She whispered. "I never want to be with anyone else."
He smiled, unbuttoning her shirt. Then, he tenderly kissed her neck and stomach. "Wait a minute." Remus said, pulling the curtains around them and whispering a silencing spell.

Lily sat in her room, trying to pull on the jeans that had fit her last week. The bulge in her belly was almost evident now, and she could definitely feel it when she tried to pull on pants.
"They...just...won't...fit!" She panted as Alisa walked into the room. Then she threw her arms up in the air and fell on to the bed. "I give up!"
Alisa smiled shyly. "Lily, you'll never guess what just happened. I was helping Sirius with his Transfiguration homework, and he KISSED me! Just out of no where, and then he said, 'We should go to Hogsmeade together next weekend.' Can you believe it?!" She squealed with delight before mimicking Lily and falling on to the bed.
"I'm really happy for you Alisa. Just don't get hurt." Lily warned.
Alisa rolled her eyes. "He's not like James, ok? He's not going to use me and abuse me." She said sharply.
Lily sat up. "Maybe, maybe not. I'm just saying, be careful. I want you to be happy.'
Once again, Alisa rolled her eyes. "Of course I'm going to be happy! I've liked him, for, I don't know, EVER! Besides, I promise you, if he hurts me or cheats on me or uses me as a one night stand, I'll kick his ass. Ok? Anyway, enough about me, how are you feeling?"
"Oh, you know. It's hard not being able to fit into any of these small pants anymore. But other than that, I'm feeling really good. I have to go see Madam Glencoe tomorrow though, so she can hide the, err, bump in my stomach, and tell me whether it's a boy or a girl."
Alisa smiled. "Well, that's good. I'm really glad that you are feeling better. I can also insure you that we are so happy that you and James aren't being TOTALLY horrible to each other anymore. *Yawn* Hey, well, I'm tired; I'm going to go to sleep now. See you in the morning?"
Lily nodded and yawned. She was pretty tired too. Just as she was closing her eyes, she saw Kari walk in. That girl always stayed out too late!
The truth was, Kari had been in the library studying for hours and she was dead tired. Quietly, as not to disturb the others, she crept into bed and soon fell asleep.
*Dream Sequence*
A man paced the room. "So, you're saying that if we choose him, the one guy that no one can trust, we'll be safe?"
Behind a desk, an older man rose. "I'm saying it's worth a try. It appears that he was under a curse the entire time, even in school. Now that he was able to break it, he would be the most trustworthy person around. Other people might let something slip to an innocent stranger, which spells danger."
Lily could now be seen carrying the same small object she had held in the last dream. "I only want what would be safe for everyone, especially now, (she held up the small thing.) If you think this is the best plan of action, than I agree. You know best." Her face seemed clouded with anger and worry. "I just don't know why he would want us. I don't have anything very special. Neither of us does."
"Lily, my dear. It is because of your job. You found many secrets. You're now a threat to his well being and he lost many good people to you." The older man answered.
Suddenly the 1st man jumped up. "See Lily? I told you not to keep up with that stupid job! But you wouldn't listen. Now we are going to be dead!"
*End Dream Sequence*
Kari woke with a start. The last words echoing strangely through her head.
"...Going to be DEAD...Dead! We are going to be dead!"
She had to quickly clap her hand to her mouth, stifling a scream. Dumbledore had said that these dreams could be real. People would be killed. Lily would die.

Remus and Lizzie lay side by side on the four poster bed. It was almost 3:00 in the morning and Remus noticed that his girlfriend was still awake, a troubled look in her eyes.
"Hey babe, what's the matter?" He inquired gently, taking her hand in his.
Rolling over to face him, she closed her eyes. "I'm just worried about a couple things. Well...I don't really know how to say it. Um, how do I know that you aren't like James? How do I know that you aren't going to dump me tomorrow? And, what if we end up in the same situation? I don't want to be pregnant."
Remus was surprised to hear this. "First off, I just made love to the girl of my dreams; there is no way in hell that I would ever leave you. I won't dump you anytime soon, got it? Secondly, I am positive we were very careful. If you don't believe me, you can talk to the nurse tomorrow, confidentially. Ok?"
"I love you." Lizzie whispered before falling asleep.

*All the small things*
*True care truth brings*
*I'll take one lift*
*Your ride, best trip*
*Always, I know*
*You'll be at my show*
*Watching, waiting, commiserating*
*Say it ain't so, I will not go, turn the lights off, carry me home*
*Late night, come home*
*Works sucks, I know*
*She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares*
