Chapter Fifteen: I never knew you were so sensitive, Potter!
The Christmas holidays are coming, and people were deciding whether to stay at Hogwarts or go home. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus were staying, but Krista had to go home for it was a family tradition to go home. Alexis wanted to see her mother, as she was feeling not to well, and Peter always went home for the holidays. He said that he 'had plans'.
At the moment, Lily was in the library, researching. She was going along with THE plan but she wasn't sure whether it would work. What if-
"Err.. Lily," Lily looked up and saw James standing there, hold a single pure white Lilly flower. "This is for you." He placed it on her pile of books.
"Thank you, James," She picked it up and sniffed it. It smelt heavenly. "Why did you-?"
"It's kinda a 'sorry' present," James sat down next to her and took her hand. "I know, that we're not talking, but I really like you. I dunno what I've done, but I'm sorry and I'll never do it again. Can we please be friends again, at least?"
Lily looked at him, eyes watering, "Oh James!" She hugged him, crying into his shoulder, "You did nothing, you silly moo, you were perfect. It was me, who was the idiot. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
"Shh.. Calm down. It's OK," He stroked her hair and rocked her gently. "Don't worry, it's OK now."
But James didn't know that he was hugging the woman who was planning to kill him.

The days in the holidays seemed to fly by in a flash. James, Sirius and Remus have had more snowball fights more than anyone ever had has, so therefore, had the most headaches. Lily was always found in the Library, reading a book about this or that or the other.
Christmas day was not as special as it usually was. James woke up with a pillow hitting his face. "Sirius, bugger off!" James said, pushing him away and sitting up.
Sirius snickered and sat down on his bed. He had already opened all his present, and James noticed a very large bear, with a large heart, saying 'my cuddly bear!' over and over again. Krista! He thought, and looked at his presents. He only had a couple. One from his mum; a jumper and a couple of books. One from Remus, a box of Bertie's Botts. One from Sirius, a Quidditch cleaner kit and one, to his surprise, from Lily. It was a book on Ancient Magic. Lily had written a note inside it.
To James,
I swear to God, no matter what happened, no matter who is in the way, I always will be your friend. Sometimes, people do crazy things, when they're in love.
Love Lily.
P.S. Come to me once you read this please.
She's in love with me? His heart lifted and he thought he had butterflies in his stomach. He got up and said, "Erm.. I'm just gonna go and see Lily, OK?"
Remus and Sirius weren't really listening. They were stuffing their faces with Chocolate frogs. James got dress in a deep blue shirt and black jeans, with a read jumper and left for the Girls' room.
He knocked on the door and entered. Lily was sitting on the floor, crossed legged, eyes closed, hands on knees. The room was full of candles, and there was purple sand, which was shaped as a star in a circle. Lily was muttering, "I vul ay, on mrah owt at liw emoc owt ay." She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. "James!" She jumped, scrambling to her feet.
"What's this?" James asked, walking over to her.
"Oh a relaxing spell," she lied. "I've got to take you now."
"Take me where? Is something wrong? What is it?" James was starting to worry.
"No, of course not. I'll show you. It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you. Just don't be scared." and they walked out and headed to the Forbidden forest.
~*~*~*~*~*
"Lily, where are you taking me?" James asked, after fifteen minutes being in the Forbidden Forest.
"You'll see. Don't worry," This was breaking Lily's heart with every step she took. It will work and they'll be safe, she kept thinking. "Here we are."
They had came to a bare damp opening, with gnarled trees, which were as tall as giants, without leaves, circled in a ring.
"Well, this is.. Erm. nice," James said, then looked at Lily. She was crying silently. James walked up to her and hugged her around the waist. "Hey hey, what's wrong? This is really sweet and nice-"
Lily turned around and faced him. "It's not that, this place is crap," She sniffed, "it's just that I'm afraid what I'm about to do."
James held her closer, "What's that?" he asked, leaning his head closer, wanting so badly to kiss her again. Her lips were trembling and so was her body. I'll never forgive myself if it doesn't work, she thought again. Lily kept opening and closer her mouth, trying to get the words out. She couldn't. Not now. The plan would be ruined. James said, "Lily?"
"I can't say," she was trembling even worse now.
"Well, can I say something?" Before Lily could answer, James kissed her on the lips. He wanted to deepen the kiss but he withdrew and whispered, "I'm fallen in love with you, I'm head over heels in love with you. I want you, so God damn much. I want you to be next to me when I sleep, next to me when I'm awake. I love you, Lily Ann Evans, and I don't think I'll ever stop loving you."
He was about to kiss her again, but a cold shiver ran down their backs as they heard a voice as dark as the night, as evil as death and as deep as the sea. "Oh, that's so sweet, Potter, never knew you were so sensitive..."
