Chapter 12- Tiffany

"Luminos," he said and looked at the ground in front of him at the three tangled bodies of Lily, Snape, and a blonde girl who seemed vaguely familiar. He continued staring, flabbergasted, until Lily groaned.

She muttered something incomprehensible and started trying to untangle herself from Snape and his female companion.

"Need a hand," James mumbled and his hand shot out while he bent down to help her up.

Once the three bodies were successfully untangled, James and Snape began shooting each other death glares. Lily, noticed this, and tugged at James sleeve, causing him to look away from his enemy.

"C'mon," she muttered, "let's go."

"Not yet," he turned away from Lily and back to Snape. "How did you and your... friend find out about this?"

The blonde girl noticed the tension between James and Snape and broke it by introducing herself. "I don't believe I've met you before. My name's Tiffany," she thrust her hand at James.

"Nice to meet you," he muttered and shook her hand weakly.

"James," Lily smacked him on the chest for being rude and then turned to Tiffany. "Hi, I'm Lily," she stuck her hand out at the blonde girl with a smile on her face. "Not to be rude, but I don't believe I've seen you before. What house are you in?"

Tiffany smiled and shook her hand, "I'm in Ravenclaw."

"We're," Lily pointed at herself and then James, "in Gryffindor."

"I know who you are," the girl smiled even larger. "You're the infamous James Potter, leader of the notorious Marauders, and you're Lily Evans, the girl who took him off the market. You two are also the Head boy and Head girl."

James grinned, already taking a liking to this girl, "My reputation pre-"

Snape cut in, snarling, "We should be leaving now." He turned and walked away, expecting Tiffany to follow.

"Yeah," Tiffany replied, the smile on her face disappearing. She turned away when a hand grabbed her arm, causing her to spin back around.

"Wait," Lily started, not releasing Tiffany's arm, "we're going back that way. You can walk with me and James, so that we can get to know each other." Lily stuck her other arm out for James, which he happily took.

"Don't mind if I do," Tiffany gladly replied. "I'm right behind you," she called up to Snape. "Um, do you mind relaxing your grip a little?"

Lily turned red and released the girl's arm, "Sorry."

Tiffany waved off her apology, "Don't worry about it. So, how do you guys know Severus?"

"Um, well," James started rather red-faced, "we go a long way back. How do you know Sni-Severus?"

Lily used her free hand to smack the back of her boyfriend's head. "It's rather obvious," she spoke to James like he was an idiot.

Tiffany laughed and replied, "Well, he is my boyfriend, and if that's what Lily was talking about, I do agree. It is quite obvious."

The three chatted and laughed until they reached the end of the passageway, where Snape was waiting for Tiffany with an annoyed look in his eye.

Tiffany left her newfound friends side and walked over to Snape and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Guess what!" she exclaimed and grabbed her boyfriend's hands with a gigantic smile on her face. "Lily asked us to join them next Hogsmeade trip for some Butterbeers. Doesn't that sound fun??

Snape saw how excited his girlfriend was and decided to pretend he was excited about this too, in other words grin and bear it. "Yes, loads," he replied in a voice full of fake excitement and plastered a fake smile on his face. "But we have somewhere to be..." his voice trailed off.

James finally spoke up, "Yeah, same here."

The four, more like three, said their goodbyes, exited the passage, and went different ways; James and Lily towards the Heads tower, and Snape and Tiffany towards the Slytherin dungeons.

When the other couple was out of hearing range, James asked the question that had been on his mind when they first came across Tiffany. "Why is she with Snivellus?"

"I don't know and don't call him that," Lily replied. "Maybe he's a really great guy."

"But-"Lily cut him off.

"Do you really want to talk about Severus and Tiffany? Because if you do, I'm sure Sirius is somewhere around here and that he'll be glad to talk with you about them," Lily snapped at him in annoyed voice. "Otherwise," her voice softened, "we could, erm, go somewhere."

"As enticing as the former sounds," James began with a huge grin, "I would prefer the latter."

Lily grinned back at him and entwined her fingers with his, "I was hoping you'd say that." She looked around the corridor, stopped, and turned around. "This is the wrong way," she muttered and pulled James back towards the way they had come.

James looked around and saw a tapestry of a unicorn and grinned to himself. He started thinking about a romantic room for him and Lily. "No, we needed to go the other way," he turned Lily around with him and started walking in the other direction, keeping an eye on the tapestry.

Lily decided that James was probably right and followed his lead. Her thoughts were about James, when-

James abruptly came to a stop and turned around. "I think you were right," he stifled a laugh when he saw Lily's face and started walking, dragging her with him.

Once they had gone past the tapestry for the third time, James stopped and turned them around for the last time. "No, wait. I think we'd best duck in here," he motioned to the door.

Lily frowned. "That wasn't there a minute ago. James...what did you do?"

"Hmm..." he pretended to think about it for a moment before saying, "I really don't know. Why don't we step in and see what it is?"

Lily shrugged. "I guess there's no harm in looking."

"Great," James grinned. "The perfect end to a perfect day, hopefully."

"After you, my sweet," James opened the door and held it open so Lily could step into the room.

She curtsied and stepped into the room. A loud gasp escaped her lips when she saw the contents of the room.

James shut the door with a grin and turned around to see how great the room was. He gasped louder than Lily when he saw the room.

Everything in the room was different variations of the color red, the sofas, loveseat, recliners, candles, roses, and so on and so forth. The room's only light was from candles and lamps with red cloths thrown over them and soft, romantic music was playing in the background. It all worked together to give the room a romantic vibe, until you looked at the walls, pillows, and many pictures in frames of James.

James frowned at Lily. "Uh, what were you thinking about when we were out there in that corridor?"

"Um," Lily's face turned a bright red. She didn't want to tell James that she was thinking about him the whole time they were walking out there. "You," she mumbled.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you, Lilykins," he put a hand up to his ear.

"I SAID YOU!" she screamed at him.

"No need to shout, dear," he replied, grabbing her hand and leading her over to a red loveseat in front of a giant print of his face stretched on the wall behind it. "It explains a lot about the rooms, eh, look, though."

Lily gave him a questioning look and placed her hands on her hips as he plopped onto the loveseat.

"Well, Lily dear, it's quite simple to explain. This," he motioned to the room around him, "is the Room of Requirement. It becomes whatever you require, and it looks like you require moi." James gave an arrogant grin.

Lily looked around the room, ignoring his bigheadedness. "And what was it that you required?"

"Is it not obvious to you?" James shook his head. "And I thought you were the smart one."

"Hey!" Lily pointed at him. "One, its not that obvious. And two, its covered in freaking pictures of you!"

James was grinning uncontrollably. "I just wanted a," he paused while grabbed Lily at her waist and pulled her onto his lap, "romantic place for you and me." With every word that he said, the couple leaned closer together.

"Perfect," Lily whispered, her warm breath blowing on his cheek, before their lips met.

James slid one hand onto Lily's lower back, and the other on the back of her head, pulling her closer to him while her arms found their way to his neck. His tongue frantically slid across her lips, begging for them to part and give entrance to his desire. Once she obliged and parted her lips, his tongue explored the depths of her mouth until they both pulled away for air.

James looked at Lily and a lopsided grin appeared on his face.

"What?" she asked.

"Just thinking," he replied while his grin grew yet larger.

"About what?" Lily asked in the sweetest voice she could muster up because she really wanted to know what could cause James to grin that big.

"Well, if you really want to know..." he trailed off.

"James," Lily said, a pleading tone in her voice, "please tell me."

James thoughtfully stroked his chin with his forefinger and thumb while he debated whether or not to tell his girlfriend what he was thinking about.

"James," she repeated, but this time she grabbed both of his hands in hers, "please tell me."

"Well," he paused, "I was thinking about all of those years, six to be exact, that you hated me. And how you really didn't, because I saw some of the pictures I gave you on various occasions on your mirror earlier, before you revealed your incredibly hot and se-"

"James," Lily cut in sharply, a pink tinge appearing on her cheeks.

"As I was saying," he began with another huge grin, "I saw those pictures in your room and it just dawned on me that you didn't hate me all those years, like you said you did. But," his grin faded away as another thought came to him, "if you really did like me, then how come you never told me."

"Um," she coughed uncomfortably, "I didn't like you. Monica kept all those pictures because she was sure I'd need them later in life. And when I started liking you, I asked for them."

"Oh," James sighed.

"Do you want to know why I didn't like you?" Lily asked and when James nodded she told him why. "One, I didn't know you. Two, You were a womanizer," James blushed profusely at this statement, "and three, you were cruel, or at least your so-called 'jokes' were."

"The only reason I was a 'womanizer', as you so kindly worded it, was because none of those girls were you! I went out with them to take my mind off of you, and it boy, did it back fire on me. Most of those girls dumped me anyways!"

Lily looked at him incredulously. "Why?"

"Well," James began fidgeting in his seat and blushing, "during some, uh, situations, I kind of, er, said your name." After saying this, his face matched the color of the reddest rose in the room.

Lily looked baffled and gasped when she realized what 'situations' he was talking about. A hand flew to try and cover the laughs that were coming. Her hand failed, and she burst out in laughter, laughter that caused James to turn an even brighter shade of red.

"GOD, LILY," he shouted, "IT'S NOT THAT FREAKING FUNNY!"

"Yes it is," Lily replied between laughs.

James jumped up, causing Lily to crash into the floor. She didn't notice, though, because she was still busy trying to fight away her laughter.

He looked at his laughing girlfriend and shouted into her ear (he wanted to make sure she heard him, of course), "I'M LEAVING! I'LL TALK TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE IN A NON-LAUGHING MOOD!"

Lily looked up at him with her tear-filled green eyes and fastened herself onto his leg with her arms. "Never!"

"Whatever," James replied, "I'll just drag you with me, all the way to my room if I have to!" Once that was said, he slowly began his trek to the door, which caused Lily to laugh even harder.

After he was out of the room and small corridor that the Room of Requirement was in, they came into a main hall that many people were in. The onlookers looked at James with confused expressions.

"Sorry, folks. There's a Lily growing on my leg," he offered them an explanation to which they all started laughing.
