Title: Open the Flower Inside of Me.

Disclaimer: I own nothing that is out of the Harry Potter books or movies. I will be adding some of my own characters.

My Darling, My Love

Lily awoke with a startle. Arabella was above her and the Marauders were sitting around her.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"James and Sirius need your help with something. Follow them." Arabella told her as she fell out of bed at the mention of James/Sirius. She grabbed her necklace that was burning bright and followed.

They moved into the common room and James told everyone to be as silent as possible. He pulled out a cloak and covered everyone. (A/N: and usually they wouldn't all fit but I'm making it so they can all fit.). He moved towards the portrait hole and grabbed hold of the person next to him, which happened to be Lily. She started to blush but no one could tell. James stopped in front of the Slytherin common room.

"Are we going in there?" Lily asked

"You are. We need you to do some spying on Snape. He is Dan's best friend along with Malfoy. And so we kind of sent a letter telling him that you would be here at midnight. Everyone else will be hiding behind the statues over there, but I am going to come in with you under the invisibility cloak." James pushed Lily out from under the cloak just as Dan opened the Slytherin's common room passage.

"Hi" he said. His voice quivering like a baby saying their first sentence.

"Hi." She said back.

"Come in and meet the gang."

She turned quickly behind and felt James brush past her. She also saw Arabella give her the thumbs up before the door closed.

"Please sit down and I'll go wake up the boys." She sat down and in a flash he was back with four other boys.

"This is Severus Snape, Lucious Malfoy, George Goyal (SP?) and Chris Crabbe (SP?)" Lily smiled at all of them and looked away.

'I just realised' Lily thought to herself. 'Either my necklace is broken or James is destined to be with me.'

Lily suddenly felt weird she looked around the room and caught a glimpse of James as he emerged from under the cloak to save Lily. Snape screamed as he dragged Lily out of the portrait hole and managed to disappear beneath the cloak yet again. The gang of Slytherin's never saw the rest of the Gryffindor's run off back to bed.

Later that day

Lily, yet again woke up with Arabella in her face. The boys were out playing on the Quidditch Pitch. Lily sat up slowly and her ice pack fell off her head.

"OW!!!" she cried, and quickly lay back down.

"Shhh." Arabella cooed "James finished your transfiguration homework for you. Since he is top in the year." Lily had just stood up with Arabella holding her arm and her knees gave way beneath her.

"What is with you lately? You keep on loosing your head when I mention the Marauders"

'Especially James' thought Bella.

"I.I.I don't know" she stammered.

"Oh Well I'm going to the kitchens to get some food stay here I'll bring you something to eat." She got up and left.

"I need answers." She got up and started for the Quidditch Pitch. On the way Lily bumped into Dan.

"Hey Lily. What happened last night?"

"Oh hey Dan, sorry I wasn't feeling well and I just fainted and I didn't notice James was there."

"That's ok. Well can I get a hug?" He asked. She nodded her head gave him a hug. In the shadows something stirred.

"Just one more game James. I'm sure I'll be able to beat you this time."

"I'm tired and I want to check on Lily." The boys agreed to check on her and they all landed on the ground and went to cool off.

Dan Pulled out a small black crystal and carefully placed it in Lily's bag. The shadows snickered. Dan pulled away and walked off.

Lily looked at the disappearing body of Dan Potter and tried to see a resemblance of James in Dan but was cut short of her thoughts.

"Hey Lily, I see you're feeling better." Sirius called out. She spun around and gave them and cute and loveable smile. She suddenly felt dizzy as she turned to James and said:

"James you look really HOT in your sweaty Quidditch robes." he blushed and so did Lily once she realised what she had just said. "I've got to go now" She said and ran all the way back to the common room where she stayed for the rest of the day.

The Next Day

Lily was ready for the next morning's class and was sitting in the Great Hall having breakfast.

"Hey Lily, Why are you up so early?" Remus asked.

"Oh well I couldn't sleep. After what happened last night. It kind of made me too jumpy and embarrassed to sleep."

"Oh. James will get over it, but it was more the shock of you saying it that scared him. He likes you. I can tell."

"Oh well I guess everyone can tell I love him too."

'Dam' thought Lily 'I could've just said I was still sore from the faint'

"Oh well too late now." She said out loud. "Oops!"

Remus started laughing, just as the rest of their group came in for breakfast.

James didn't make eye contact with Lily because he was too scared she was going to say something else to embarrass him. Breakfast was almost over and everyone got up to leave for Transfiguration. Except for James. Lily stayed behind to wait for him.

"James are you ok?"

"Yeah just tired."

"Ok. Um. Are you ready to go to class?"

"Yeah" he said

He got up and walked towards the great hall doors and suddenly stopped. Lily bumped into him ad he turned around and quickly kissed her. At first she didn't know what was happening but she let the desire to kiss James flow through her and take charge of her body. They broke apart and James looked down at her neck.

"Lily I didn't know your necklace stopped burning." James said with amazement.

Lily looked down and said:

"Neither did I"
