Chapter 5-Rounds of Understanding
It was 10:30, and Lily was anxiously waiting for her rounds with James. She hadn't had a chance to talk to him since the incident. She wanted to tell him that she wanted to be with him, but it would have to wait until after the ball. At 10:50, she was ready and told Kayla where she was going. She walked down the steps from the girls dormitories and saw that James was waiting for her on a couch by the fire.
'Hey,' said Lily
'Hey,' he said, looking up from the fire.
'Are you ready?' she asked.
'Yea, let's go.'
*****
They had been patrolling for about a half an hour before Lily decided that she couldn't stand the silence any longer, so she decided to bring up the kiss.
'Umm...James?'
'Yea?' he asked.
'A...About the other day...,' said Lily, '...when I told you I was going to the ball with Amos,' she paused here because James made a noise, but she couldn't tell what kind of noise, so she continued, '...I really meant to say that I would rather go with you, but I had already accepted Amos' offer, and I want to be with you too, but we just have to wait until after the ball...if you still want to...that is.'
James stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a glint of hope in his eyes.
'You...You want to be with me?'
'Oh, yes!' Lily nodded, 'Ever since the train ride here you've seemed....' She paused while trying to think of a word.
'deflated?' asked James. 'Yes, deflated,' she said, while smiling. 'Lily, you don't know how happy you've made me!' he lunged forward to hug her. She moved in as well, and they clung to each other for a few minutes. 'Just remember, we can't officially be together until after the ball. Do you mind waiting?'
'No,' said James, smiling, 'I would wait a million years for you.'
'Really?' she asked, smiling (A/N: It seems their both doing a lot of that lately! LOL), no one had ever said anything so sweet to her before.
'Yes,'
She moved in, like she was going to kiss him, but backed away and smacked her forehead.
'After the ball Lily,' she told herself out loud so that James heard, and he just laughed.
A/N: I'm so sorry! I haven't been able to do much lately! Anyway, I have the next chapter done and typed, so after you review, I'll post. REVIEW!!!!
--BTW-- I am starting a mailing list, and if you want to be notified when new chapters come out, e-mail me at Spheonix07@aol.com, and tell me. If you have already done that, please do it again, because I seem to have lost it. It's not necessarily just for this fic, but also for Knowing the Future, which should be posted shortly. ALSO-I will not be continuing with A Well Known Secret, because I'm reallt not that in to it. If anyone would like to finish my work, go for it, just tell me first. Though, I don't know why anyone would want to. LOL!
REVIEW!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Sorry about this being such a short chapter, the next one is longer, I promise!
