THE "R" CHAPTER! NOT GOOD FOR CHILDREN UNDER AGE! SKIPPABLE! YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THIS IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO.
There was no doubt the next morning that Lily was going to class. She had got up and showered, dressed and made sure all homework for the day was complete. James found her that morning sitting on a couch, running over an essay she had most likely completed the day prior when the others had been in class.
"Is there anyway that I can change your mind?" James asked, dropping a kiss on to the top of Lily's head.
"Not a chance. Maybe we'll learn something today that will be on the NEWTs," Lily replied, stowing the essay back in her bag. James shook his head, dropping down beside Lily and wrapping his free arm around her. Lily snuggled back for a moment before standing and making her way out of the room and down to the Great Hall, James following slightly behind.
Alaura, Sirius and James stayed close to Lily all day, making sure she was safe. Potions occurred that afternoon and, for the first time, Lily was looking forward to it. Lily had been doing her own research on what was making her sick, and if her assumptions were correct, they were going to cover the suspected potion and its antidote in today's class.
"Oh my, this is a first," the professor, Professor Tonic, leered, entering from behind the blackboard. "All of the Gryffindors are here on time! Or, at least, those who are attending today's class." Lily looked to Alaura, her partner for the year, in confusion.
"I don't think she's realized you're here," Alaura supplied, watching Proffessor Tonic begin attendance.
"And Miss Evans, I have been informed, is not attending class today, correct Miss Kensington?" Lily rolled her eyes.
"I am present, Professor," she said raising her hand. The Slytherins spun to look at Lily astonished. The word must have traveled fast through the house of snakes.
"Very well." Paris, Erin and Snape were upset and confused, and it showed. The evil looks directed at her and narrowed eyes focused on her proved Lia right, they had planned out the potion. There was only one question remaining: which potion had they used?
"Today we will be studying one of the darker potions and its antidote. The potion makes your victim sick after they witness a very disturbing scene. This potion is the Deteriorating Draft. The potion cannot be left to run through your system. It works in time, deteriorating your inner organs slowly before working to the outside of your body. Symptoms for this potion are the Freezing Fever, various aches, vomiting and severe weakness and tiredness. Now, we will not be working on the potion itself today, only it's antidote. We will need a volunteer to test the potion at the end of class. There is a spell that can be cast to make it seem like you have the potion in you when you really don't. Now then… Miss Evans! Thank you for volunteering! Now, get to work!" Alaura and James immediately rounded on Lily.
"What were you thinking!"
"I'll tell you what I was thinking. I was thinking that this is my cure." James and Alaura looked at her blankly. Lily rolled her eyes, rubbing the arm she had raised. Something, she was pretty sure a muscle, had torn horribly.
"This is probably what Paris used and this is my chance to get the antidote to cure me," she explained watching their confusion turn to worry at the pained look on the redhead's face. Lily ignored them, getting out ingredients and beginning to work.
Two hours later, the potions were done and an x-ray spell, along with the illusion spell had been applied to Lily's body. James, Alaura, Sirius, Lia and Remus watched apprehensively as Lily drank the vial of her own potion. The apprehensiveness turned to awe as Lily's already partially deteriorating organs rebuilt themselves before their eyes. Lily breathed in shakily as she felt her forehead, noticing the absence of her freezing temperature. She hid her grin as she made her way back to her seat feeling much better than she had last night or that morning.
"Class is dismissed." Lily began packing all of her equipment back in her bag.
"Wow, Evans, I can't believe your potion 'worked'," Paris said approaching the redhead. Lily only smiled in response.
"And yours, of course, would have, seeing as you've already made the actual potion once with Snape."
"Prove it."
"No… too much energy. I'll bask in the knowledge that I figured out what was wrong with me and," Lily said grinning now, "that I completely foiled your plan." There, she had thrown the bait. Now, it was a matter of seeing if Paris would take it.
"You've foiled one. The other has been put into play and not even you can stop it." She flounced out of the room. Lily grinned, pulling the muggle tape recorder out of her pocket and unclipping the microphone from the collar of her robe. She felt like a spy, all wired up, prepared to extract a full confession out of a criminal. Alaura approached, her bag swung over her shoulder.
"They really are planning something," Lily whispered, hoisting her leftover books into her arms. James, still worried, took the books from her, wrapping his free arm around her waist.
"I'm fine, James, really. Much better than yesterday." James still kept his arm around her as they met up with a pale-looking Kristiina, and worried second-years, Karissa, Tanice and Lucy.
"Are you okay, Kristiina?" Lily asked as they made their way up to Lily and James' quarters.
"Exhausted. Classes have been taking a lot more out of me than I expected," Kristiina replied, not looking at Lily. They reached the portrait to the Heads' quarters and Lily held Kristiina back.
"You're lying."
"It's the truth. My work has exhausted me," Kristiina replied looking Lily in the eye this time. Lily smiled, opening the portrait (friendship) and entering the common room.
"We heard about your illness," Tanice said worriedly.
"I'm fine, really. We covered the antidote potion today and I took some of that," Lily replied smiling and sitting comfortably beside her boyfriend.
"We heard about Erin, too," Kristiina said carefully.
"She's a good for nothing bitch," Lily said with a grimace, "and a Slytherin slut at that!"
The next couple of months passed uneventfully, leaving James and Lily waking late on a chilly Saturday in late October. It was Lily's power of will that ended up getting them out of bed, much against James' wishes. She'd only smirked back, sauntering out of his room where she had spent the night.
"You're trying to torture me, Lily Evans!" James called after the redhead. Lily laughed heartily.
"And I'm having great fun doing it, James Potter!" James smiled, throwing the blankets off of his body and following her tantalizing ass out of the room. He had had a rather… interesting dream the night before and he was lucky Lily hadn't noticed his need of a cold shower and that, was what he was going to go and do.
Lily smiled to herself as she entered her own room and bathroom. She had indeed noticed James' state, though had refrained from making a comment. It was getting hard for Lily to resist James and she knew that it was only a matter of time before she gave into him. He did have the experience, having been one of Hogwarts most well known playboys before "settling down" with Lily.
She smiled as she let the warm water caress her body and washed herself from head to toe in her favourite strawberry body wash. Lily knew that the scent drove James wild and today, that was what she wanted to do. It was their first Hogsmeade weekend of seventh year, after all, and James and Lily had decided to spend the day together. She had allowed him to choose everything that they were doing that day and he had only left her with the decision on how to present herself. She had long since decided the exact dress she was going to wear that day and, upon pulling out the dress, decided it was perfect. The white dress had a low square-cut neck and beautiful embroidery along the small slit of the skirt. A pearl white ribbon looked to tie the neck together and the thick strips of fabric that held the dress up was also embroidered in a slightly darker white. Lily grinned, slipping on the dress, throwing her Hogwarts robe over top and made her way back into the common room where James was already waiting. Her robe hid the dress underneath and Lily grinned inwardly at James' slightly disappointed look. He stood offering the crook of his arm and she took it as the two headed down to the Entrance Hall.
The day had been completely dreamy for Lily, as the two wandered through Hogsmeade hand in hand. Lily had wanted James' opinion on this year's Halloween outfit as they had been planning yet another – it was becoming annual – Halloween ball. That night was something unexpected for the previously sick redhead. James must have had friends in the kitchens because upon the pair's arrival back at the school, a very romantic candlelight dinner had been set up complete with dimmed lights and soft music. Shrugging off her robe and draping it over a chair by the fire Lily ran her hand over the scarlet satin tablecloth in awe. James, on the other had, was too focused on his girlfriend.
"Torture, pure and simple," he whispered in her ear nibbling on it slightly. Lily chuckled throatily.
"Again, I'm having fun doing it," she answered, wrapping an arm behind her and behind his head, holding him to her. James' stomach grumbled, and Lily laughed out loud. James groaned, dropping his head onto her shoulder.
"Maybe we should eat," Lily whispered, her shoulders still shaking with silent mirth. James reluctantly nodded in agreement, pulling out her chair for her before sitting down in his own.
Dinner was very sweet. James' attention to detail amazed her. She had never realized that James had been paying attention when she had mentioned her favourite foods. They were all artistically displayed in front of her and Lily thought she was in a classy restaurant. James' attention was completely on her the entire evening and Lily felt like a princess. As dinner finished Lily and James left the dishes to whoever had been up to set up the dinner in the first place. They moved to sit on the floor in front of the fire, going over memories of the last seven years and their lives before Hogwarts. James' was, of course, full of magical stories where as Lily's were about her muggle life across the continent. James was impressed with Lily's stories, as he had never once lived in a muggle world.
"The muggle world is not all it is set up to be. This world is much more fascinating," Lily said, finishing yet another story about home. It was an argument that Alaura and Lily constantly faced James, Sirius and Remus on. The three boys found the muggle world much more fascinating than the wizarding world and Lily and Alaura always found the wizarding world much more impressive.
"To you, love, to you," James replied wrapping his arms more securely around her. Lily snuggled back into him, watching the flames in front of her.
"That was fast. You didn't even argue with me this time," she pointed out lifting her face to look at James. James smiled, lowering his lips to hers. She kissed him as she always had, with gentle attention turning quickly to passion, and this time, Lily didn't want it to stop. His tongue traced the outline of her lips and Lily gave him entrance without a second thought, groaning when his tongue brushed hers. James hands moved to her dress, running hands that had been previously set tightly around her waist, along the line of the neck and shoulders. Lily fell back on the scarlet carpet, James on top of her as their mouths moved together. She opened his robe frantically, unbuttoning his shirt with both hands. James stalled her hands, chuckling slightly.
"Patience, love. Patience. We have time," he whispered against her lips, gripping her hands. Lily groaned struggling against his grip. He pulled away, moving his lips away from her lips down to her neck and shoulder nibbling and licking the entire way. Lily moaned as he left his mark on her shoulder.
His hands moved away from her hands, leaving them hanging lip at her sides as he threaded his hands through her hair. Finding the zipper at the back of her dress, James pulled it down slowly. He found himself staring in awe as he pulled down the dress, after undoing the zipper, at her flawless skin. Lily threw her head back with abandonment as his hands skimmed down her skin, taking the dress with it. Her strapless bra was next to go, followed by James' belt and pants leaving them both in their underwear (it had become habit for them to take their shoes off as they entered the common room). James' lips moved down her collarbone between her breasts, both gasping for air – Lily because of the intense pleasure and James from Lily's writhing almost naked body beneath him.
Her restraint was thinning, her body aching for release, but James held her back. Groaning and writhing, Lily tugged on his shoulders in attempt to get him moving. James did not.
"Patience, Lily," he gasped out lavishing her breasts with kisses, wrapping his lips around Lily's dusky rose coloured nipple. Lily's hands wrapped into his unruly hair, holding him to her chest as James' teeth grazed the tip slightly making her jolt sharply. James' mouth moved to the other breast, not wanted to neglect it.
"No, now." James would never be able to explain how far that stretched his resolve to hear her plea like that but he kept it to himself deciding instead to work his way down her body to her navel. Lily let out a cry of delight as he nibbled and licked at her bellybutton before moving down to the juncture between her legs. His fingers drove into her before his mouth came anywhere near the opening. His tongue drove her to her peak, thrusting in and out of her roughly. Lily moaned and cried out in delight as the stars flashed through her eyes until every muscle in her body clenched and pain and pleasure met as she reached her peak.
James smiled as he moved up her body dropping light kisses on the flawless skin as he crawled upwards. Lily's breath was coming in harsh gasps and there was a thin film of sweat on her skin but the look on her face was very content. James lifted Lily to her feet setting her there and keeping her steady as she caught her breath. Lily smiled up brilliantly at him, kissing him roughly. James kissed her back, brushing his thighs against hers as they walked back towards his bed. Once they had reached the cherry wood object, Lily fell back on it, pulling James with her. She quickly pulled off his boxers, and guided him to her entrance. Their sighs of pleasure mingled as one and James began to move within her. The knot inside Lily's stomach was becoming tighter and tighter as James moved faster and faster within her. Finally both reached their peak and James flopped onto Lily's sated body gasping out the birth control spell taught in fifth year.
"I love you," James whispered rolling off of her.
"I love you, too," Lily whispered in reply, dropping her head onto his chest and drifting off to sleep.
