Greetings!

Disclaimer- I own nothing of Harry Potter (or any Potter for that matter). If I did then you would be reading this from a book and not a computer screen.

Summary- What would you do if the thing you needed most in the world was out of your reach, Stolen from you or even forbidden?
"James you are her teacher!"
Would you accept it? Or would you fight for it?
"I don't care I love her!"
Some of the worst case scenarios are between a man and a woman.
How can you give up all you dreams all your beliefs? I'm not worth that!"
To love some one so much, yet not be allowed to touch them.
"My dreams and beliefs changed the minute I met you. My world revolves around you."
This is a story of two people, two dreams and one love which can taint it all.

Ok, finally I would just like you to all note that this is an R rated ficcy, and in this chapter there ARE R rated scenes.

There is on scene of an adult nature, I ask that if you would prefer not to read it, you either skip that part or stop reading completely. I will section it off if you wish to skip it easier.

More A/N at the end!

Luv ya

Practical lessons

Lily and James arrived at the Aurour HQ to find everyone rushing around.

"Oh James I'm glad you are here! There has been an attack, we have a lot of injured men. 3 serious. I'm going to need you to take a look at them for me. I would have sent them to St Mungos but it would have looked suspicious."

"I'm going to need Lily's help." James replied. Lily looked at him startled.

"But I've never operated before." She said worriedly.

"You will be fine, you're my best student and I will be beside you all the way. Now where is the most serious?" James asked.

"The Prewett brothers. James I had Poppy look over them, but she is just a nurse, she can cope with a schools set of injuries, but the Prewetts have been hit with some unidentifiable curses, I don't think they will make it." He led them to the bed sides of Fabian and Gideon Prewett.

James and Lily analysed them, then set to work. The two men seemed to have been hit by a stream of curses, jinx's and hex's. 5 death eaters to just 2 men apparently. It was unheard of. Needless to say Lily and James had very little chance of saving them.

"It's too late Lily, we've lost them." James said mournfully as he covered each body in turn. Lily looked up at him, tear streaks marked her face. James put his arm around her, one she would usually shoo away but at this time sought it's comfort. The Prewetts had always been a laugh, twin brothers who always knew what to say when anyone needed cheering up. And now their deaths coming so close after Marlene Mickinnon. Marlene was a very close friend of Lily's, a few years older, but in school had befriended her none the less. "There was nothing we could do. They were lost on the battle field." Lily shook her head and wiped away the tears. "Come on Lily there is still one more person who we can save."

Laying on the third bed lifeless was none other then Remus Lupin. James gasped as he looked down at one of his oldest and most trusted friends. Lily was about to go for an open wound when James stopped her.

"No Lily Wait!" Lily looked at him questionably. "Put some gloves on and make sure you don't come into direct contact with his blood. He's a werewolf." Having no time to properly digest this information, Lily helped James sterilise all the wounds and heal them. They worked on counter jinx's, managed to bring his temperature down to a normal level and his heart rate up to a steady beat.

"He should be alright now with just a little rest." Lily stated. James nodded, he looked very pale. "He's a close friend of yours isn't he." She stated. James just nodded once again. "Don't worry, he'll be fine and you know it." She smiled. James nodded again letting out a deep breath. Remus had always been his rock, the voice of sense in a group of boys. Suddenly he snapped to. Remus was fine, James knew better then anyone that Remus survived worse every month. It had to be tough on Lily, her first practical and she loses 2 out of 3 patients.

"You did really well today." He comforted.

"But what about the Prewetts?"

"They fought gallantly and they died for their cause- A real heroes death. Of course it is a shame to lose them, they were great men. But at the end of the day, it's what they signed up for and they knew it could come down to this. Like we all know."

"Miss Evans, Mr Potter is right." Dumbledore stepped into the room. "In this war there will be losses. Now Poppy has attended to most of the other less serious aliments. You two have worked hard this evening. I suggest you go and get some rest."

"Well I don't know about you." James said turning to Lily, "But I could sure use a strong drink. Care to join me?" Lily went to open her mouth. "And don't give me none of that crap about toxins either!" Lily laughed.

"I lay it on a bit thick sometimes do I?"

"Nothing I can't handle."

"Well Mr Potter, You can handle me over some drinks then. As I have decided it is your round." James smirked taking her reply the wrong way. He received a sharp slap on the arm. "Come on!" Lily urged.

And soon enough they were seated at a table for two, glass of fire whisky in James' hand, some cherry ale in Lily's.

"That was hard back there." James stated quietly, after a few awkward moments of silence.

"yes, yes it was." Lily replied.

"When things like that happen, I sometimes wonder why I became a healer. Then when you've healed someone who was on their deathbed, you get the glorious high of knowing that without your help, that person wouldn't be here today. That you reunited them with their family and allowed them to live. That's why I do it." He looked down for a second. "Need another drink?" Lily nodded.

"If you don't mind." A few drinks later, neither Lily nor James were very sober.

"Now I'm a very passionate person Hic cough and healing Hic cough is my passion. I've wanted to be a doctor since Hic cough I Hic cough was seven and my Grandad died of cancer. Of course I wanted to be a do Hic cough doctor then. Why did you Hic cough decide to become a healer?" She slurred.

"Well you know Remusmus back there…" James leaned closer and in a very drunken and loud whisper said. "That he's a weredwolf! When we used to helps him in his transformations in school, we had to healed our wounds with out anyone knowings so I gotted a do it yourself healers kit and I founded I enjoyed it." Suddenly James put a hand over his mouth.

"How'd you help him?" Lily asked, not using her usual sharp voice.

"I shouldn't have told you that. Forget what I said Ok?" But Lily wouldn't remember it anyway. Her and James had drunken them selves into that's state, whilst seeking comfort and the got it from the weirdest company either would have dared to imagine.

Lily was looking at James weirdly. In all his excitement, he hadn't realised his hand had fallen on top of Lily's.

"James why is you hand …" In a sudden spurt of need, James closed the gap between their lips and in a drunken fury began kissing the red head opposite him. Lily being neither shy or slow on the uptake kissed James back with just as much passion and fiest. After a minute the couple pulled away, each out of breath and still close enough to feel the other hot and heavy in takes on their own face.

"Want to come back to mine for some coffee?" James whispered huskily.

"Sure." Lily replied, her mind clouded with alcohol and lust.

After being told where to apperate, Lily did so and found herself in a grand old living room. The furniture was made of pure oak, the fireplace was set in marble, a rug with a large coat of arms adorned the floor and a brilliant family portrait hung over the fireplace. A young James stood smartly in navy blue dress robes surrounded by his parents loving embraces. The room was decorated in a rich burgundy with gold trimmings. It was very grand indeed.

"Quite a fancy place you have here. Hic cough" Lily smirked plonking down on an arm chair.

"Yeah well it's my parents old house. I've redecorated every room but this one. It was my mothers favourite. I can't bring myself around to do it." James slurred merrily.

"Can I see your room?" Lily said seductively. James eyed her hungrily.

"Sure." And together they stumbled up the stairs giggling.

Now this room was definitely a boys room. Blue walls, a huge king sized 4 poster bed, books and broomsticks lined the walls and clothes all over the floor.

"What I wasn't expecting guests!" James defended as Lily eyed him critically.

James snapped back into seductive mode and kissed Lily whilst pushing her softly against the wall. She groaned as James began to lay sloppy kisses down her neck, stopping only when he found the collar of her shirt, sucking gently as he began to unbutton it from the top downwards.

Lily's hands searched frantically over James' back, through his robes and to the fastening. With one flick they fell to the floor leaving James in just his shirt and trousers. Lily's shirt fell to the floor just seconds later enabling James kisses to carry on.

As James teased and marked her with his mouth, Lily managed to remove all but James' boxers and even her own skirt. James tongue searched her upper body erotically, leaving Lily weak at the knees, as it slipped under bits of fabric and round certain bits of sensitive skin she felt she couldn't stand much longer. She brought his mouth back up to her own and managed to pull her self up him wrapping her legs around his middle and allowing him to move them both over to his bed.

James laid himself on top of the pretty red head whom was now adorned with just a black bra and thong. He looked her hazily in the eye as if to ask permission.

"More." She smiled giddily taking one of his hands and placing it on her breast. He didn't need telling twice. In no time what so ever he had removed the two lacy bits of material and his own boxers. Lily's hand roamed James' back as he spread her legs and readied her for his entry. He played with her until her gasps were climaxing rapidly.

"Now!" She moaned frantically, unable to say anymore. And James at her word plunged himself deep inside, joining them pleasurably as one.

Lily felt sticky, hot and sticky. Her head was spinning and she couldn't remember much of the day before. All that she did recall was that there was a storm. Her eyes flickered open and groggily she saw through the window that it was a lot brighter. Too bright infact. It was hurting her head more.

Wait. That wasn't her window? She turned gently (so as not to move her head too much.) and there facing her, fast asleep was Professor Potter. His naked chest just inches from her own.

"Ahhhh!" She screamed causing him to open his eyes and upon seeing her also screamed.

They both jumped up grabbing the quilt and pulling it in two different directions, as they remembered their lack of attire. James gave up and jumped on the floor finding a pair of boxers, then reapperaing.

"What am I doing here?" Lily asked delicately, her face pale and horrified.

"I… I don't know?" James stuttered just as shocked.

"Oh my God. This can't be happening! You're my teacher and I have a boyfriend and I can't even stand you? I can't just sleep with someone like that? What have I done?" She muttered to herself holding her head, which hurt even more.

James stood there listening helplessly. Trying in vain to stop his eyes from following the blanket that she held as it slowly began to slip. Lily glared at him hiking it up.

"I cannot believe how irresponsible we have been. Well what do you have to say for yourself."

James, feeling that nothing more could go wrong, bravely divulged his feelings.

"You have got to be the most unbelievable girl in the world Lily Evans." He began harshly. "You challenge me and make me work hard. I seem to like that." He was speaking more slowly as if he was trying to work out his feelings. "I didn't think that I did. I thought that I hated it. But I suppose actions speak louder then words. I shouldn't feel like this about you- it's wrong. But I can't help myself. I think I may have mistaken falling for you, for anger and jealousy."

Lily looked at him, her gaze lingering for a few minutes before suddenly she apperated away, the quilt going with her.

"damn!" James cursed kicking the bed.

Thank you for all your wonderful reveiws!

If you think that Lily and James are just going to get together now, your thinking wrong, that'd be too easy and not interesting enough!

please reveiw

Luv ya
