Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot, the shirt on my back, and the pair of pants I know I have, I just don't know where.

A.N. By the way, this is obviously not going along the lines of the true Lily and James happenings in the real HP books, and I know that okay? Because I know that it's just a matter of time before someone reviews and says that I have it all wrong and that I'm not going by the books. I know! Okay? Thank you!

A Spring Fling

Chapter Seven: Day Four, Attack!

Lily held James' hand as they walked down the hall of rooms on the way to James' room. James opened the door, and held it open for her. As she walked in, Lily saw that it was much like her own room she shared with Her mother and grandma, with only two beds.

"Which bed is yours?" Lily asked, finally getting what was about to happen.

James pointed out which one was his, and which was his brother's. With a couple of suspicious glances at each other, Lily pointed out that there was a little place on his bedside lamp that would be perfect to hold the trophy James had just won. They tried it out, and it fit wonderfully.

Just then, with a look of permission from Lily, James turned and locked the door.

Approaching her, he said, "I know at least one place your parents won't find us."

Lily pulled James towards her, and their lips met in a passionate kiss as they meandered over to the bed.

A little warning signal went off in Lily's head, knowing that she shouldn't be doing this, that she should stop now before it went any farther, but Lily figured she had enough will power to stop once it got too far.

'Just until it starts to get there.' She thought to herself.

Her chance came soon, as she was pushed up against the wall, and James began to take off her shirt; Lily started help him, when she realized just what she was doing. Her eyes flew open wide, and grabbed his hands.

"Too far."

She gasped for breath.

James looked infinitely disappointed, but relented as he drew his hands back, and instead placed them on Lily's legs.

There was silence besides the heavy breathing for a moment, then Lily threw caution to the wind and met James' lips with her own once again, and they sank down into the comforts of the bed.

"I thought we were going too far?" James said with a smirk on his face.

"No sex." Lily replied.

"Why not? Waiting for wed-lock?"

"Besides the ever-present fact the I might get pregnant, yes." Muttered Lily.

James nodded.

Suddenly, the ship rocked.

Both Lily and James jumped up.

"Bloody hell, what was that?" James exclaimed.

Although completely flustered, Lily smiled at James use of British swearing. "It can't be a storm, it was clear as anything just a while ago!"

James grimaced.

"I think I might have some idea of what it is." James said, closing his eyes for a minute.

"What?" Asked Lily, totally perplexed.

"You'll see if what I think is true. I'll just say this: Be glad we know that we're both wizarding folk."

Lily gasped, catching on. "No!"

They ran out of the room, and took the stairs to get to the main deck, and saw massive confusion.

There were people running all over the place to get away from people dressed in black cloaks on brooms? Lily had to do a double take before believing it herself, even though she was quite used to seeing people riding brooms, it somehow surprised her. Maybe it was the whole fact that they were out in the ocean.

James closed his eyes for just a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "I knew we shouldn't have come."

Lily took it as an insult for a minute, after all, if he hadn't come, she never would have met him. But after thinking about it, she figured that maybe James knew a little more about what was going on than he said.

"James, what's going on?"

"Deatheaters." James stated, pulling Lily down out of sight. "I don't have much time to explain it, but have you ever heard of Voldemort?"

Lily gasped. That was the dark wizard that was growing in power! He originally stayed in England, but people all around the world knew about him by now.

"I'll take that as a yes. Anyway, he's kind of after my family, and since we're all here, he must have had his deatheaters follow us to get us all in one jab, and along the way take out a few muggles at the same time!"

"My family!" Lily exclaimed, after taking in what was going on; "Where are they?" She started looking franticly around.

"Lily!" James caught hold of Lily's shoulders and looked her in the eyes, trying to calm her. "Do you have your wand?"

Lily swiped her wand out of her pocket with a murderous scowl on her face.

"We have to be careful, but we have to try and take some of these guys out." James commanded.

Lily nodded deftly.

James continued; "Try not to be seen. And look around for other wizards and witches; there are so many people here that there are bound to be a couple more. If you see any, tell me, and we'll try to get over where they are so we can all work together to take these guys out!"

As if on cue, both teens jumped up to look over the edge of the railing, both pointed their wands at a single deatheater and shouted "Stupefy!"

A robed figured fell off of his broom and into the ocean, while James shouted, "Accio broom!" and the figure's broom went racing towards James' outstretched hand.

"I thought you said to stay out of sight!" Lily was frustrated, but she had to yell anyway to be heard over the mass panic anyway. "You can't just do something like that, it'll attract everyone's attention! Look!"

To Lily's dismay, several deatheaters saw James catch the broom, and came careening in their direction. Evidentially, they recognized him because they started shouting and pointing to each other.

"Don't let them see you!" James yelled at Lily as he hopped on the broom and shot forward to meet them straight on.

Lily was about to cry, thinking that James was racing to his death, when she saw just how skilled he was on a broom. He dodged all the curses that were sent his way, and was still able to give a few himself.

Suddenly, Lily saw a few curses flung at the flying figures from right beside her, and she looked over. To her surprise, Sirius had made his way over to her, with a wand.

"Remus and his family is over there." He said, pointing towards the other side of the ship. "I don't know where the hell James' family is, but they better get out here soon."

In all the panic, Lily didn't see that across the way, Remus and his family had wands out and were trying to stun the deatheaters as well. She looked back up in the sky just in time to see James barely dodge a green light being sent out of one deatheater's wand, just to fly right into a blue light. Lily cried out as James slowly slid off the broom, unconscious, and right down... into the pool.

Abandoning all cover, Lily raced down the stairs and without thinking anything of it, dived right into the pool. The water stabbed into her like knives in her skin; but she had just one thought in her head: Get to James. Pushing through the water, Lily saw a blurred shape so she headed for it, holding her breath to the maximum. Luckily, the figure was James. She grabbed a hold of his waist and pushed against the floor of the pool with her feet to shoot up. She didn't go quite as fast as she intended to, and she was running out of breath, when her head broke through the surface. Totally exhausted, Lily had no more energy than to get her and James out of the water, then stagger and put him on the ground and lay herself over of him, right on the edge of the pool. "Protect him," was her last thought before she completely passed out and she slipped over the edge of the pool back into the water.

"What's her name again?"

"Lily. I don't know her last name, didn't James tell you?"

"No, he never did. I saw them together, but I didn't think they were that serious."

Lily stirred.

"Shhh! She's waking up."

"Where am I?" Lily mumbled, gradually opening her eyes. "James?" Here eyes shot open; she ignored the blinding pain in her head. "James! Where is he? Is he okay?"

When Lily looked around, she saw that she was in the buffet room. Probably one of the places that wasn't over crowded with people, seeing that all the muggles ran the other direction to their rooms when panic broke out. She saw Sirius and James' dad looming over her.

"James is fine." James' dad reassured her, "It's you we're worried about."

Lily shook her head but immediately regretted it because of the ice pick that seemed to jab into her brain. "I'm fine! Where's James?"

"Lily!" Sirius exclaimed, "Calm down! James is awake and should be in here in a second. He just went to change his clothes. YOU however fell into the pool after they hit you with a stunning spell, and James' dad here just managed to get you out before you drowned!"

Lily looked over at James' dad and saw that indeed, he was soaked.

Sirius continued; "You were stunned, you almost drowned, and Remus' mom thinks you have pneumonia."

Lily felt incredibly weak, and found it rather difficult to breath.

"Lily!"

'James...' Lily thought weakly.

She saw him sit next to her, combing her hair with his fingers.

"You did go in the pool for me." He said, smiling.

Lily blacked out.

Wow. This fic TOTALLY got out of my hands. I didn't mean for it to go this way at all. Have you ever heard of the phrase "I put my fingers to the keyboard and they took me from there"? This was a total example of that. Wow. I know that this chapter was a little bit shorter than the others, but it made up for it in action, right? All the action in one chapter... I really hope you like it! I actually had a little bit of fun writing this chapter. REVIEW PLEASE!

The cruise I went on was the exact one Lily and James are on now, and I did meet a guy there, but believe me, he wasn't James! Lol. So yes and no at the same time. Not based on a true story, more of a story with a couple true parts in it. Thanks for the review! I can't believe you read all of my stories! Wow. Thanks so much! I hope I answered your question good enough. (Although I kind of wish you were a logged-in user so I could email this to you instead of telling everyone. Oh well.)
