Chapter 6- James' Private Room
James led Lily to the base of Gryffindor Tower. She had never been to that particular area before, so James had to pull her along so they wouldn't slow down and get caught. As they walked on, they met a dead end. Lily gave James a questioning look as he pulled out his wand and tapped the wall in the shape of a circle. The wall silently opened to reveal a large room with light blue walls, a fireplace, pillows, couch and table. As soon as the two entered, the wall closed silently behind them.
"Is it all yours?" Lily asked curiously after taking a look around.
James stood nervously by the entrance with his hands in his pocket.
"Yeah. it's all mine. Sirius and Remus have their own hidden rooms around Hogwarts. Peter didn't even bother because the dormitory is quiet if any of us sleep in these rooms over night. Lily. can you sit down for a while?"
"Okay."
Lily took one end of the couch and James took the other end.
"Oh God, how am I going to say this???" James nervously mumbled, running this hands through his hair.
"Er. okay, I can do this." He started to turn a bit red in the face.
Lily played around with a strand of her hair while James was trying to find the right words to say. Of course, by the situation, Lily knew what he wanted to say and more than likely would try to ask her out. that was the dream of many girls around the school. But why her? Maybe it was just a little fancy, and James would have interest in some other girl in a few days. But then again, James had been like this since the past summer.
But in their previous years at Hogwarts, Lily felt like she couldn't trust him, Sirius, Peter and sometimes Remus because they took a liking to teasing and pranking her since first year more than any other Gryffindor. They slowed down the pranks on her two years ago and stopped altogether so far through sixth year. It would be so hard to change my views on him, she thought. Some twenty minutes later, James trembled as he began to speak. In the past two years he had a crush on Lily, there were times when the two of them got into arguments, others when they didn't pay attention to each other and the rare times when they got along perfectly fine. James felt happy most of the time around Lily, and hoped she, if not now, would have the same feelings for him as well.
"When I found out from Jonathan that you weren't on the train in September. so many things were going on in my mind. I don't remember how it all started, but for the past tow years, I've had considerably warm feelings for you. They've increased only over the summer. I'm not asking for anything big, but if you could just think bout if you share the same thoughts as I do."
Lily trembled as James moved closer to her, he once again not knowing what to say.
"James, I've already thought of it for a considerable amount of years. With everything you and your friends did to me in the past, I don't think I'll ever feel the way you feel for me."
"But.. that was the past." James stuttered.
"I helped you today because you wanted to get away from Jillian. It's a fact you don't like her; a majority of the school has realize that. except her. Friends maybe, not we're nothing more than that."
Lily got up and headed for the door. James got up and followed her.
"Don't think about the past, I was an idiot then, I mean it! Please, Lily."
He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him. James looked at her with pleading eyes. Lily felt as if she were going to fall apart with was happening. She didn't really want it to happen, but something told her that it shouldn't happen. She straightened her back and looked at him with stern eyes instead.
"James, I'm sorry. See you tomorrow morning."
James never felt worse. He let go of her in disbelief, and Lily left the room, not looking back. James waited for the wall to close again, then flung himself onto the couch. As soon as it really got to him, he cried.
-----there's the end of chapter 6, I'm so sorry that it was short, but the next two chapters are a bit longer. once I get this uploaded, I'll start typing the next chapter and I can get it uploaded tonight also!!!! Sounds good? Okayz, read and review please!!
