*Chapter 6*
Lily was sitting in a secret room, she and James had taken to using. She was sitting on the couch with socked feet, in jeans and a sweatshirt, muggle clothes had always been more comfortable to her than wizerding ones. Her sketchpad was propped against the couch she was sitting sideways on. And she was oblivious to all else around her. She was meeting James here later, but she had finished her homework and decided to come early for some quite time. She didn't hear the door open, or click shut, but she did notice when James sat down by her feet, and she felt his eyes on her as she drew, biting her lip. He waited for her to put her work down, knowing she would stop when she reached a point wear it wouldn't ruin her drawing. He loved watching her draw, she was so focused, and she looked damn cute when she bit her lip.
After a few minutes she put her sketchpad on the ground by her bag, and extended her legs so they rested in his lap.
"Hey" she smiled.
"Hi." He said picking up one of her feet and massaging it absently. "How was your History exam?"
"Not to bad. How was the heads meeting?"
"Peachy. We have to plan a ball."
"You have Felicity as a partner, she'll do most of it, how hard can it be?"
"That's the problem, she's so picky. She'll probably make it all pink." He said crinkling his nose. Lily laughed at the look on his face.
"No she won't, what kind of ball is it?"
"Spring" Lily's mouth formed an 'O' shape.
"While we're on the subject of the ball. Ms Evens will you give me the honor of escorting you to said ball?"
"Like you even have to ask." She ginned at him, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
He grinned at her and switched to massaging her other foot. She leaned back and closed her eyes.
"Mmm... that feels good."
"Lily? I ... uh... have to go..." James said fidgeting slightly. Lily looked at him curiously, but pulled her legs off his lap to let him up. "alright." She replied slowly, looking at him questioningly, but refraining from actually asking, she respected his privacy, he'd tell her if he wanted to. He got up and quickly left the room. Lily sat there staring after him.
"That was ... weird..." she said to no one, before collecting her things slipping on her shoes, and walking back to her dorm, which she found empty. After changing into her pajamas, she sat down on the windowsill. Grabbing a pencil and a sketchpad, she started to draw the scene before her, the lake under the full moon. Out of the corner of her eye she thought she saw movement, but looking at where she thought she had seen it, she shook it off as her imagination. Yawning awhile later, she set down her draying materials, and crawled into bed.
Lily woke up early the next morning, which wasn't weird considering she had fallen asleep pretty early. Seeing her dorm-mates were still sleeping she slipped into the bathroom, taking a quick shower before heading down to breakfast, it was a Sunday, so she didn't have any classes. On the way down however, she ran into a distraught Sirius.
"Lily!" he said grabbing her arm and pulling her down a corridor "Your can do healing charms right?"
"Sirius slow DOWN! Whats going on?" she said as she was nearly tripping over her own feet trying to keep up with him, unable not to as he was still holding her arm.
"Lily can you do healing charms?" He asked calmer, and slowing down a little.
"I can do a few." She responded still clueless to what was going on.
"I'll explain when we get there, just please help."
"Alright..." she replied drawing out the word, letting him know she was beyond confused. He didn't seem to notice however, as he pulled her through, the Gryffindor portrait hall and up the boys stairs.
"Oh, My God." She said when Sirius pulled her into the boys dorm, and she saw James lying on his bed, a large gash across his chest, and a bite on his shoulder. "Why didn't you bring him to Madam Linda? How did this Happen? WHAT did this?" she said frantically rushing to his side.
"Lily, can you please, help, we'll explain later, but he needs help now."
"I don't know if I can, he really needs to see the nurse!"
"Please Lily!" at the desperate look on his face, she sighed in defeat.
"Alright, but I need a bowl with warm water and a towel, and I'm going to need some potions from the hospital wing, if I right a list can you find some way to get them?"
"Yes" Sirius replied before rushing into the bathroom returning a few minutes later with a bowl of water and a few towels. She handed him a list, which he took, and after grabbing a silver cloak, he rushed out of the room.
"James what the hell did you do?" she murmured softly, as she cleaned the unconscious boys wounds. She was able to fix the small cuts, and bruises with charms, but she needed potions for the bite, and the gash on his chest. After cleaning the wounds, she held towels on them to stop the bleeding while she waited for Sirius. Who came rushing into the room awhile later with the potions she had asked for. After applying the potions to the wounds she wrapped them in bandages. "That's the best I can do, he really should have gone to the hospital wing." She said to Sirius who was pacing frantically, before forcing another potion down his throat. "enerviate" His eyes opened slowly and he blinked several times.
"Lily?"
"Yeah, I'm here" she said softly. "are you ok?"
He sat up blinking a couple more times.
"Yeah, I think so."
"Good, NOW CAN YOU TELL ME WHATS GOING ON" she half yelled spinning to face Sirius. "I want to know why the hell he was in that condition, and why he couldn't go to the hospital wing."
Sirius sighed and opened his mouth, before closing it again, and opening it once more.
Lily turned to face James, who just looked at his hands.
"Will somebody please tell me what's going on?" she asked a bit softer. She was met with silence again, before James worked up the courage to say something.
"Lily, its hard, telling you means, telling you something that's not our secret to tell. I want to tell you I really do, and you deserve an explanation..." He trailed off.
She sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed looking at him with sad eyes. "James, I was dragged halfway across the castle, at 6 this morning to find you lying here unconscious, gushing blood, I want to know what's going on. Please, you can trust me."
He looked her straight in the eye. "what I'm about to say, can not least this room, you can't tell anyone, not even May or Alice." When she nodded he continued, "Don't interrupt me okay? When Remus was seven, he was walking in the woods with his older brother, they we're attacked by a werewolf, it bit him, and killed his brother, Remus is a Werewolf Lily." She gasped but remained silent "Sirius and I figured it out in second year, and confronted him, he admitted and said he would stay away from us, but we wouldn't let him, he's not a monster, its not his fault. We wanted to help him someway. In third year, we found that way. Werewolf's don't attack Animals, and they can't turn them, even if they bite. So, Sirius, Peter and I became animagus, illegal ones, no one knows except for us, and now you, we go with him on the full moons, so he doesn't have to be alone, he says it makes it easier. Last night, we ran into a small boy, he can't help himself when he's a werewolf, the instincts take over, so I had to stop him, and I guess he got me instead, I don't really remember much after that. Please don't be mad, I would of told you, but its not my secret." He said with a pleading look. Neither noticed as Sirius had slipped out of the room, they had forgotten he was there are all.
"James...." She breathed out running the side of her hand down his face, staring into his eyes. "I...I don't know what to say. What you did for Remus, is... amazing, becoming an illegal animagus for him. I'm not mad, how could I be?"
He smiled at her and took her from his face, and kissed it lightly. "Thank you Lily. You're amazing."
She smiled at him and stood up. "You should sleep Jay." He nodded, and lay back down, closing his eyes. She kissed him lightly on the lips, before exiting the dorm and walking down to the Gryffindor common room. Not hearing him murmur "Bye love".
Lily found Sirius sitting on the steps to the boys dormitories. He turned when he herd her walking down.
"Thank you Lily. For understanding and helping." She smiled at him.
"It's ok. hey Sirius, James never told me what you guys were."
Sirius grinned, looked around to make sure no one was their, before, changing into a big black dog, and licked her face, before changing back. She laughed at him. "Peter's a rat, and I'll let James tell you what he is."
"Alright then, well, I shouldn't be in the boy's dormitories, let alone Gryffindor tower, so I'll be going now." She walked down to the bottom of the stairs before turning around, and looking at him grinning impishly "See ya later Snuffles."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Monday morning, when Lily walked into the great hall, James was sitting at the table with his friends. He grinned when he saw her, and she waved at him, and he beckoned for her to come over. She oblidged, and sat down inbetween him and Sirius, across from Peter and Remus. "Hello Remus, Peter, Jay... Snuffles" Peter choked on the pumpkin juice he was drinking. James and Remus snorted. Sirius grinned, and threw and arm around her shoulder.
"Hello Lillers" she laughed and shrugged his shoulder off, grabbed a muffin and made to get up.
"I've got to go, See you later guys" She said standing up. James grabbed her hand and pulled her back to kiss her, she noticed he slipped something into her hand as he did. She met Delia who had Ancient Ruins with her at the entrance to the Great Hall, and as they made their way to the classroom, she opened the piece of paper James had slipped into her hand.
"What's that?" Delia asked noticing the piece of paper lily was unfolding.
"James gave it to me." Lily answered. She read the words on the small piece of paper. 'meet me in out room at 5:30'
"ah... what's he want?"
"He wants me to meet him at 5:30, wonder why he bothered with the note."
"Well, it is cute, and today he should be cute."
"What? Why?" lily asked curiously.
"Don't tell me you forgot it was Valentines Day!"
"Oh My God, it is isn't it!"
"I can't believe you forgot about it and your boyfriend didn't, that's a new one."
"Shut up"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
"dust bunnies" The painting swung open, and Lily stepped into the room. It was empty, but it didn't look like it normally did, the sofa had been moved so it was diagonal to the fire, and across from it sat a small table, set with dishes to two. She smiled and crossed to the table. On one of the plates, their was a single red rose, with a small note tied to it. She picked up the rose, careful to avoid the thorns, and read the four words written on it. 'Look under the table.' What was James doing? Hiding under that table? She chuckled quietly at the thought, it was a small table. She dropped to her knees and picked up the table cloth lifting it so she could see under the table.
She found a small basket, with another rose on top, she pulled it out smiling. What was he up to? Was the only thought running through her brain. Changing her position so she was sitting Indian style, she lifted the top from one side of the basket. And peeked in. All the sudden, a furry ball leaped out of the basket and into her lap. She looked down at the 'furry ball' to find it was a black kitten with white paws.
"Aww, aren't you a cutie." She said to the cat scratching behind its ears. Slowly, she took the cat out of her lap and held it in her arms, so she could stand up. She started to cross to the couch to wait for James, but she felt warm arms wrap around her, and a soft voice in her ear.
"Happy Valentines Day"
Lily smiled as the kitten jumped out of her arms, and she turned around in James's arms "Happy Valentines Day Jay." She said before standing on her tip toes and kissing him.
"So I take it you like your surprise?" He asked after they pulled apart, as he led her to the table.
"I love it!" she grinned "but you didn't have to do all this."
"I know, I wanted to." They fell into comfortable conversation for the rest of dinner. But before desert, James led Lily to the couch, and positioned her so she was sitting infront of him between his legs, both sitting sideways on the couch, their right hands were intertwined and their arms were across Lily's stomach. He summoned something, he left hand was his wand hand, without lily noticing, as she stared into the fire, thinking. Taking it in his hand, he brought it around her and moved it to her mouth.
"You remembered." She murmured, before taking a bite or the canolli, that he was holding to her lips.
"How could I forget?" was his response.
She grinned and took another bite "You want some she asked?" moving to take it from him and turn around, but he held her fast, and move the canolli out of her reach.
"No, I've got my desert right here." He said leaning down to nibble on her neck. She smiled and took the last bite of the Italian pastry, before grabbing his wrist, so she could bring his hand close enough to lick his fingers. Which she did, very slowly, savoring the taste of the sweet icing, mixed with. Hearing him groan, she smiled inwardly.
"Something wrong Jay?" He didn't reply immodestly, but shifted his hips so she could feel his reaction to her.
"that's going to cost me many cold showers." He whispered huskily in her ear. "from dreams about the feeling of you tongue..." he trailed off.
She flipped over, and nibbled on his neck, before moving up to his ear, which she nipped softly before whispering, "It doesn't have to be a dream" while fiddling with the buckle of his belt.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily sighed contently, she was lying in James's arms, her back pressed into his chest, he was nibbling on her neck.
"Jay?" she asked turning her head to look at him.
"Hmm?"
"Sirius showed me what his form was, and told me Peter was a rat, but he'd let you tell me what you were so...." He disentangled himself from her slowly, and moved to the open space, in the triangle between the table couch and fire. And closing his eyes, his body slowly changed from the muscular figure of a quiddich playing 7th year student, to the lean structure of a stag.
Lily gasped as she saw him. Standing up, she made her way towards him, and reached out a small hand, As she stroked the face of the white stag, she whispered softly "Prongs". She had heard the boy's nicknames for each other, but passed it off as a guy thing. Her fingers where resting lightly on the Stags nose when he changed back, leaving them resting on James's lips. Slowly, she traced the shape of them, stopping only when James's bent his head down, and caught her lips in his. The passion in his kiss startled her, but she soon fell in sync with him, taking a small steps backwards, until they fell onto the couch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily opened her eyes slowly, trying to remember wear she was. She felt a warm body behind her, and snuggled closer, remembering it was James, then she jumped up and looked at her watch.
"Shit!" she said. The combination of her jumping away and yelling shit, had woken James.
"What?"
"we fell asleep, we have classes, in.." Lily looked at her watch again "two minutes." She looked down at herself, muttered a charm, that made her look like she had a new uniform on, before doing the same for James, slipping on her shoes, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, before rushing out. She ran threw the halls trying to figure out how to get her books and get to class on time, luckily just as she reached the point she would have to go different directions to get to the Ravenclaw tower, or charms class, she ran into Alice, literally.
"Oh Alice, I'm sorry!"
"it's ok, Come on we're going to be late for charms, I have your stuff, your telling me what happened latter though, Delia said you were meeting James." Alice replied as the two sped off down the hall making it into the classroom seconds before the bell rang.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
"I walk in and there is a table set for two, and a single rose resting on one of the plates, with a note saying look under the table. So I do, and there's a basket, with another rose on top of it. I sit down and open the basket, and inside... OH MY GOD!" Lily took off out of the kitchen leaving her three room mates in shocked silence.
"What was that?" Dawn asked breaking the silence.
"She was talking about something James go her, and she just took off..." Alice said as the three continued to stare at the door Lily had just exited.
"I can't believe she up and left in the middle of a story like that." Delia said huffily.
The three girls left the kitchens soon after that deciding they would ask Lily about it in History of Magic. They didn't have to wait that long though as Lily ran up to join then a few corridors away from the class room.
"I'm sorry I took off like that, I remembered I left Athena in the room." Lily said.
"Athena?" They all questioned. It was Delia who noticed Lily's bag was moving. "Lily! Your Bag! Its moving!"
Lily giggled, and opened her bag, pulling out the small black kitten. "Guys, this is Athena, She's what was in the basket I was talking about."
"Awww, she's adorable!" Dawn cried as the girls crowded around Lily and the kitten, Just then a crowd came around the corner.
"Your blocking the corridor Evans." A voice sneered.
"Shove off Fethmore." Alice said coldly. Turning away from the kitten to glare at the hufflepuff.
"What have you got their anyway? Some kind of love potion, I bet, you couldn't keep James interested this long without one. Either that or your sleeping with him"
Alice made a growling noise in response. "Why do you care?"
"I'm just stating the obvious. Why would James want a little girl when he could have a woman?"
"Your Jealous!"
"Why would I be jealous of that slut?"
"You always have been, you want everything she has, real friends, you wanted Todd, now you want James. Well let me tell you, Lily's ten times the person you'll ever be Fethmore, she doesn't need to rely on sex to get a guy interested. James is with her of his own accord." Alice seemed like she was going to continue, but Lily grabbed her arm, having slipped Athena back into her book bag.
"Come on Alice; let's just go she's not worth it."
"Afraid you can't hold your own against me Evans?"
"No, just smart enough to know not to fight in the corridors." Lily said before she turned on her heel and started towards the class room, friends by her side.
"The whore doesn't think she can take me on." Cindy taunted with a smirk.
Lily stopped dead, ignoring Delia's tugging on her arm. Cindy's comment reminded her too much of Petunia's sneers when she was at home. She turned silently and walked back to Cindy, her face emotionless. Stopping in front of her, she said quietly but firmly. "If you think you can get places I life, with petty sneers and comments, you're not going to go anywhere, that's what you'll be for the rest of your life, petty. You're not worth my time."
"Bitch" Cindy said, pulling her arm back to slap Lily, but Lily caught her arm before it hit her face. Before dropping it and marching into the classroom with her friends.

She chuckled quietly at the thought, it was a small table. She dropped to her knees and picked up the table cloth lifting it so she could see under the table.
She found a small basket, with another rose on top, she pulled it out smiling. What was he up to? Was the only thought running through her brain. Changing her position so she was sitting Indian style, she lifted the top from one side of the basket. And peeked in. All the sudden, a furry ball leaped out of the basket and into her lap. She looked down at the 'furry ball' to find it was a black kitten with white paws.
"Aww, aren't you a cutie." She said to the cat scratching behind its ears. Slowly, she took the cat out of her lap and held it in her arms, so she could stand up. She started to cross to the couch to wait for James, but she felt warm arms wrap around her, and a soft voice in her ear.
"Happy Valentines Day"
Lily smiled as the kitten jumped out of her arms, and she turned around in James's arms "Happy Valentines Day Jay." She said before standing on her tip toes and kissing him.
"So I take it you like your surprise?" He asked after they pulled apart, as he led her to the table.
"I love it!" she grinned "but you didn't have to do all this."
"I know, I wanted to." They fell into comfortable conversation for the rest of dinner. But before desert, James led Lily to the couch, and positioned her so she was sitting infront of him between his legs, both sitting sideways on the couch, their right hands were intertwined and their arms were across Lily's stomach. He summoned something, he left hand was his wand hand, without lily noticing, as she stared into the fire, thinking. Taking it in his hand, he brought it around her and moved it to her mouth.
"You remembered." She murmured, before taking a bite or the canolli, that he was holding to her lips.
"How could I forget?" was his response.
She grinned and took another bite "You want some she asked?" moving to take it from him and turn around, but he held her fast, and move the canolli out of her reach.
"No, I've got my desert right here." He said leaning down to nibble on her neck. She smiled and took the last bite of the Italian pastry, before grabbing his wrist, so she could bring his hand close enough to lick his fingers. Which she did, very slowly, savoring the taste of the sweet icing, mixed with. Hearing him groan, she smiled inwardly.
"Something wrong Jay?" He didn't reply immodestly, but shifted his hips so she could feel his reaction to her.
"that's going to cost me many cold showers." He whispered huskily in her ear. "from dreams about the feeling of you tongue..." he trailed off.
She flipped over, and nibbled on his neck, before moving up to his ear, which she nipped softly before whispering, "It doesn't have to be a dream" while fiddling with the buckle of his belt.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily sighed contently, she was lying in James's arms, her back pressed into his chest, he was nibbling on her neck.
"Jay?" she asked turning her head to look at him.
"Hmm?"
"Sirius showed me what his form was, and told me Peter was a rat, but he'd let you tell me what you were so...." He disentangled himself from her slowly, and moved to the open space, in the triangle between the table couch and fire. And closing his eyes, his body slowly changed from the muscular figure of a quiddich playing 7th year student, to the lean structure of a stag.
Lily gasped as she saw him. Standing up, she made her way towards him, and reached out a small hand, As she stroked the face of the white stag, she whispered softly "Prongs". She had heard the boy's nicknames for each other, but passed it off as a guy thing. Her fingers where resting lightly on the Stags nose when he changed back, leaving them resting on James's lips. Slowly, she traced the shape of them, stopping only when James's bent his head down, and caught her lips in his. The passion in his kiss startled her, but she soon fell in sync with him, taking a small steps backwards, until they fell onto the couch.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily opened her eyes slowly, trying to remember wear she was. She felt a warm body behind her, and snuggled closer, remembering it was James, then she jumped up and looked at her watch.
"Shit!" she said. The combination of her jumping away and yelling shit, had woken James.
"What?"
"we fell asleep, we have classes, in.." Lily looked at her watch again "two minutes." She looked down at herself, muttered a charm, that made her look like she had a new uniform on, before doing the same for James, slipping on her shoes, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, before rushing out. She ran threw the halls trying to figure out how to get her books and get to class on time, luckily just as she reached the point she would have to go different directions to get to the Ravenclaw tower, or charms class, she ran into Alice, literally.
"Oh Alice, I'm sorry!"
"it's ok, Come on we're going to be late for charms, I have your stuff, your telling me what happened latter though, Delia said you were meeting James." Alice replied as the two sped off down the hall making it into the classroom seconds before the bell rang.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
"I walk in and there is a table set for two, and a single rose resting on one of the plates, with a note saying look under the table. So I do, and there's a basket, with another rose on top of it. I sit down and open the basket, and inside... OH MY GOD!" Lily took off out of the kitchen leaving her three room mates in shocked silence.
"What was that?" Dawn asked breaking the silence.
"She was talking about something James go her, and she just took off..." Alice said as the three continued to stare at the door Lily had just exited.
"I can't believe she up and left in the middle of a story like that." Delia said huffily.
The three girls left the kitchens soon after that deciding they would ask Lily about it in History of Magic. They didn't have to wait that long though as Lily ran up to join then a few corridors away from the class room.
"I'm sorry I took off like that, I remembered I left Athena in the room." Lily said.
"Athena?" They all questioned. It was Delia who noticed Lily's bag was moving. "Lily! Your Bag! Its moving!"
Lily giggled, and opened her bag, pulling out the small black kitten. "Guys, this is Athena, She's what was in the basket I was talking about."
"Awww, she's adorable!" Dawn cried as the girls crowded around Lily and the kitten, Just then a crowd came around the corner.
"Your blocking the corridor Evans." A voice sneered.
"Shove off Fethmore." Alice said coldly. Turning away from the kitten to glare at the hufflepuff.
"What have you got their anyway? Some kind of love potion, I bet, you couldn't keep James interested this long without one. Either that or your sleeping with him"
Alice made a growling noise in response. "Why do you care?"
"I'm just stating the obvious. Why would James want a little girl when he could have a woman?"
"Your Jealous!"
"Why would I be jealous of that slut?"
"You always have been, you want everything she has, real friends, you wanted Todd, now you want James. Well let me tell you, Lily's ten times the person you'll ever be Fethmore, she doesn't need to rely on sex to get a guy interested. James is with her of his own accord." Alice seemed like she was going to continue, but Lily grabbed her arm, having slipped Athena back into her book bag.
"Come on Alice; let's just go she's not worth it."
"Afraid you can't hold your own against me Evans?"
"No, just smart enough to know not to fight in the corridors." Lily said before she turned on her heel and started towards the class room, friends by her side.
"The whore doesn't think she can take me on." Cindy taunted with a smirk.
Lily stopped dead, ignoring Delia's tugging on her arm. Cindy's comment reminded her too much of Petunia's sneers when she was at home. She turned silently and walked back to Cindy, her face emotionless. Stopping in front of her, she said quietly but firmly. "If you think you can get places I life, with petty sneers and comments, you're not going to go anywhere, that's what you'll be for the rest of your life, petty. You're not worth my time."
"Bitch" Cindy said, pulling her arm back to slap Lily, but Lily caught her arm before it hit her face. Before dropping it and marching into the classroom with her friends.
