Disclaimer: Hey didn't you hear? J.K. Rowling didn't write Harry Potter I did! ......... **wakes up from her dream** huh wha-! Damn!
A/N:OK thank you for ur reviews and C I updated early this time!!! This chapter is PURE LILY AND JAMES FLUFF! Think of it as a sorry for what im going to do In the next chapter!!!
James was gently shaking Lily awake. She opened her eyes.
"Hey." He said smiling at her. "You dozed of while I was talking to Dumbledore. He's arranged for Sirius you and me to move into the high security auror buildings now that Voldemort knows where I live."
Lily nodded drowsily. She yawned and stood up.
"So when do we move in?" she asked.
James shrugged. "All we have to do is go pack our stuff."
A thought then struck Lily.
"James how much are these high security apartments going to cost?"
James shrugged. "We'll probably get a discount but it'll still be pretty expensive." James then realized that Lily didn't have any money except what the Dark Lord gave her.
"Lily don't worry. We'll get an um BIG apartment and share it. You me and Sirius." He said grinning.
Lily looked at him. "James I couldn't-" she started.
"Lily don't worry about it." Said James. "I daresay I spent more money on you at Hogwarts anyway. It never bothered you then and it shouldn't bother you now."
Lily shrugged. "But things are different now James." he said quietly.
"How so?" he asked. "You are my girlfriend now if I'm not mistaken." He said smiling.
Lily finally agreed. "Alright." She said slowly and then grinned. "But don't go getting any ideas MISTER Potter." She said smiling.
"Why Miss Evans what would ever make you think I'd think something like that?" he asked in mock horror slipping his arms around her waist. They Eskimo kissed lovingly and James chuckled with his forehead against hers. "Although it's not as if we haven't done it before."
"Oh no you don't." said Lily pulling her head back and shaking her finger. "We haven't been together for a whole day yet and you've got s-"
"Ahem!"
Lily and James looked up to see Sirius standing in the doorway.
"I'd rather not intrude." He said. "But we need to get going now." He said.
Blushing Lily nodded and followed James and Sirius. They flooed to James and Siriuses apartment where Lily found her wand on the kitchen counter. She looked over at the sandwiches she'd made and made to grab one. James got to it first.
"James." Lily whined. "Give it back I'm hungry after all that fighting."
He held it out but pulled it back again when Lily reached a hand to grab it.
She made a face at him and James chuckling started to feed her the sandwich holding it for her.
"You know how much I missed you?" he asked looking lovingly down at her as she swallowed a bite. He brought the sandwich to her lips again and she took another bite contentedly.
"Do you know how happy I am that you two are FINALLY back together?" asked Sirius coming in. Aurors were everywhere except in the kitchen. James had pulled the slide window down that was part of the kitchen counter and let you see everyone in the living room. Lily was at that moment thankful it was down as James had his left hand in a very er...shall we say LOWER part of her back?
"You're not the only one." Said Lily smiling. She opened her mouth for another bite but instead James popped the last bit into his mouth. "Hey!" she exclaimed angrily.
"O.K. lets go." Said Sirius cutting in. "The aurors will bring all of our bags when we reach the building."
Lily and James nodded. After aparatting and passing a series of mazes that they couldn't have gotten through without the guide they had they finally arrived at the auror building. It was a tall white building about ten stories high.
Getting an apartment was next on the list. James left this all to Lily.
"You're the woman here." He said. "Sirius and me are no good at finding good apartments."
"Who found your last one?" asked Lily as she looked through pages of apartment pictures.
"Oh one of our co workers Arabella Figg. She's a bit old but very nice." Said James.
Lily nodded her hair falling into her eyes. James brushed it away lovingly and Lily looked up at him smiling. He leaned in to kiss her.
"Oh please!" Sirius exclaimed before James could actually kiss her. "Stop being so lovey dovey and find an apartment."
Lily grinned. "You sure know how to ruin a moment." She said to Sirius.
"My specialty." Said Sirius grinning back.
"Mmmm-hhmmm." Said Lily absently turning through pages. Her eyes suddenly lit up. "This one!" she exclaimed and jabbed her finger at it. The apartment was all white and had three rooms. It was more like a penthouse and was on the top story.
"Er...Lily...are you sure?" asked Sirius.
"Sure I'm sure." Said Lily. "Why? James has practically a gold mine in his vault so moneys no problem right?"
"No...it's just well..." Sirius trailed of.
"Oh yea." Said Lily. "I forgot you're afraid of heights."
"Am not!" said Sirius. "I just don't like them."
Lily rolled her eyes. "Come on." She said stubbornly.
James paid and the three apparated to just outside the penthouse where it was more like a narrow white hall.
"Oh and we'll decorate the hall with plants." Said Lily excitedly.
"Whatever you say Lily." Said James staring at her.
Sirius opened the door and James picked Lily up princess style.
"I can walk on my own thank you." Said Lily smiling.
"Yea but there's no fun in letting you walk in." said James grinning devilishly.
"I know that look." Said Lily. "What have you got planned?" she asked as James stepped into the apartment. "Nothing." he said innocently.
"James." said Sirius. "I'm tired and I'm going to sleep. You two...keep it down a bit."
Lily shook her head as Sirius disappeared.
"Call Remus and Peter." Said Lily excitedly. "I haven't seen little Peter for almost forever."
"Oh sure call Remus and Peter. Don't spend anytime with me at all." Said James sarcastically.
"You know your right." Said Lily as their luggage began to appear.
"I am?" asked James.
"Yea I need to set this place up AND go shopping for clothes for myself. We'll call Remus and Peter tomorrow." Lily smiled at James and began to unpack decoration pieces. The furniture was all white and Lily liked that.
"Aren't you tired?" asked James.
Lily as if on cue yawned. "I geuss." She said and caste a glance outside. It was pitch dark. She nervously drew the white curtains.
"Whats wrong?" asked James.
"Nothing." Said Lily in a higher voice than usual and slightly panicky.
"Lily." Said James. He grabbed her wrists. "Tell me."
Lily struggled for a minute and then gave in.
"I'm scared." She confessed.
"Why?"
"Because-" she faltered. "Because I'm scared Voldemort might come and try to kidnap us again or kill us. I know I sound like a coward but it's the truth."
James enwrapped her into a hug. "I'm here Lily and I promise you that I'll do whatever I can to protect you. And you don't sound like a coward"
Lily smiled up at him and buried her head in his neck.
"It's just..." she trailed of. James felt her lips brush against his neck as she talked and tear drops fall from her eyes onto his neck. "Its just I can't believe I...and I wonder if you could ever forgive me for what i..."
"Shhh." Said James. "Its me that should be asking for forgiveness. Lily I love you and even if you were still a deatheater I'd love you."
After a few miutes Lily stifled a yawn. She pulled away smiling at him.
"Night James." she muttered. Giving him a kiss on the lips she left and fell into an uneasy sleep in her room.
She awoke in the middle of the night her scream piercing the night air.
She'd dreamt that Voldemort had been after her and that she was trapped in a cell. People passed and sneered at her calling her a mudblood and murderer. Saying she killed her parents. Voldemort came to kill her and everyone stood and laughed at her pleadings for help. Then just as Voldemort was about to kill her she woke up. James was by her side in a flash.
"Are you O.K?" he asked worriedly.
She sobbed into his shirt.
"Is everything alright?" asked Sirius coming in.
"I just had a nightmare." Lily choked out. "I'll be O.K. leave."
Sirius hesitated before James also told him to leave.
"Just go. I'll take care of her." James whispered.
Sirius nodded and left.
"Lily it's O.K. Come on stop crying. I'm here and I love you."
"I love you too." Lily choked out. "I don't know why I'm being so emotional." She sobbed. "It was just a dream."
"It's O.K. After what you've been through you have a right to be like this." Said James brushing her hair out of her eyes. Lily calmed down after a few moments.
"Don't leave me." She whispered.
"I won't ever leave you." Came his reply.
The next morning Lily woke up with the sunlight streaming in through the blinds. She smiled and stretched out pulling the soft sheets tightly around her body. James stirred and woke up. It felt so right to just wake up and see Lily lying there beside him.
"Morning." Said James softly.
"Morning." Lily replied rolling over and slinging an arm over his bare chest.
"Sleep well?" he asked kissing her nose.
Lily nodded. She got up to go to bathroom with a sheet still wrapped tightly around her. James tugged on it lightly imploring her to sit down.
"Lily." Said James seriously. "Will you be O.K? Are you feeling better?"
Lily smiled. "After last night I feel as if I could take on a thousand bad dreams. James you just have that effect on me..." she trailed of smiling.
James smiled and slyly ran a finger down her spine which was half bare making her shiver.
"James come on we have to get up now." Said Lily.
"Who says we have to get out of bed NOW?" he asked slyly. He tugged harder on the sheet wrapped around Lily trying to pull it of her. Lily playfully slapped his wrist away. She got up and went into the bathroom to get ready. Slipping on his clothes James walked out.
"Looks like James got lucky." Came a voice.
James turned. It was Sirius.
"What are you doing up this early?" he asked.
"Early? James it God damn one in the afternoon. How long did you two stay up last night?"
James ignored Siriuses last comment.
"One?" he asked disbelievingly. "We have to get ready for a meeting with Dumbledore."
