Hey guys! Here's chapter two. I have to say this one is a bit more
dramatic, especially at the end. I wasn't even expecting it! Please R&R! be
BRUTAL!
James awoke the next morning with a warm feeling in the pit of his
stomach. For a moment he couldn't recall why, but then the night's
memories came flooding back. He felt like he was going to smile for
the rest of his life, and never stop. He pulled on his robes, grabbed
his bag and went down into the common room.
When he reached the common room, he saw that no one was there but Lily. Wondering why, he checked his watch and saw that it was only 7 o' clock. Earlier than most Gryffindors would be up. He walked silently over to the back of her chair, until he was right behind her. "Are you aware that you have the most beautiful eyes of anyone I've ever known?" he said with a small smile on his face. Without turning around, Lily replied easily, "Sweet, but it could be a little more original, James." Then she turned around and kissed him on the mouth, long and hard. Surprised that she had been waiting for him, he soon got over his shock and put his arms around her, carefully, slowly, running up and down her back, then, gently through her hair. He cupped her cheeks in his hands and slowed her down, letting the kiss keep lingering where it had been, burning her lips and cheeks. They were so caught up in each other that they didn't notice Sirius come down and walk right up to them. "Proof, James," said Sirius, loud and clear. "Get a room, lovebirds."
Startled, James and Lily broke away and looked at him, surprised. "Where did you come from?" asked Lily, to change the subject, wiping the corners of her mouth.
"Well," Sirius said, a pleased look on his face, "originally I came from my mother, the bitch. But I think I will stick to the story of being and orphan and raised by a female dragon."
James's cheeks burned as he embarrassedly scratched the back of his head. "I...er...yeah..." he walked over and sat down in an armchair near the fire. Lily, being quite embarrassed also, said quickly, "I – er – I think I'm going to head down to breakfast now."
Sirius grinned and said, "Yeah, you do that, Evans," and plopped down in the armchair beside James. As soon as Lily had run out of the common room, he said, "I knew it."
James laughed and replied, "Lucky guess. I didn't think you would get up this early."
Sirius raised an eyebrow and said, "I saw and empty bed and thought you were trying to escape my wrath. So I followed." Both sat there for a moment, James's thoughts on Lily, Sirius trying to figure out a tactful question. Finally, he said hesitantly, "So...how did this happen?"
James looked at him, looked away and said sarcastically, "Why don't you guess, Mr. Genious."
Sirius raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't think you'd really want me to do that again. But, since you told me to – I will.
"I think that you got jealous of what's–his–face – what was his name? Richard? Ricky? I don't remember. Anyway, when they broke up, I think you somehow used your little Potter magic and she fell in love with you. You've always fancied her, of course," he added, as if this was common knowledge.
"I have NOT always fancied her," James said heatedly, but Sirius interrupted him and said, "Yes you have, James, don't lie. Anyway, I think that's how it happened."
James blushed. That wasn't how it happened. His temper had been even worse. He had worked his "Potter magic" or whatever it was Sirius was referring to – even before Lily and Ralph had broken up. He wasn't proud of it – but Lily had cheated on Ralph with him.
