Chapter 13

Lily shook herself mentally.

'This is a meeting, not a date! Stop going all puppy eyed at Potter!'

Once again happy with her inward reprimanding she casually smiled at James.

"Thank you James, you look nice as well." She managed nonchalantly, adding another smile. She looked over to where Sirius and Roxie stood and saw that Roxie was putting up the exact same façade.

-(-(-(-)-)-)-

James took one look at Lily close up and felt as if his world was caving in around him. Here was this beautiful, enchantress, and he wasn't even allowed to touch her. They were here to 'talk'.

'How the fuck am I suppose to talk to her without trying to drag her off back to Hogwarts and make passionate love to her…mmm, passionate love with Lily.' James sighed inwardly; maybe he shouldn't have had that smoke with Sirius early this morning. He could tell it was affecting his thoughts, which consequently affected his…lower regions.

He smiled at her softly, drowning in pools of emerald.

'Well, at least she said I look nice, that's a good start…I suppose.'

-(-(-(-)-)-)-

Roxie felt her heart quicken and her breathing increase. There was Sirius Black, standing out from the crowd in all of his glory. He only wore a plain black pair of trousers, a white shirt with a black jumper over the top and black boots, but he looked good enough to eat…

'Don't go there, Rox, you've already had to change your underwear once today due to Sirius thoughts, don't make yourself uncomfortable now.'

She strolled confidently up to him and gave him her best smile. She wanted today to go well. She didn't rightly know where she stood with him, after their fight, and then their kiss it was all a bit confusing.

'Oh well, I guess this is what today is for.'

She looked up to see Sirius return the smile. Oh, and if she thought she was on another plane now she couldn't even prepare herself for what was next.

He took the tips of her fingers lightly in her hands and softly squeezed as he growled. "Hi, you look great."

'Shit! That turned me on…I knew I should have brought a spare pair of knickers.'

-(-(-(-)-)-)-

'Holy shit that girl is hot…no no no! Got to think with my head today…not my dick…but technically that has a head…hahaha…I have two heads. Bollocks, shouldn't have had that joint with Prongsie.'

Then she smiled at him and it was only her that mattered. Silence all around. He felt as if a huge weight had lifted off his heart, a hole had been filled. This was the feeling he got whenever she looked at him with those amazing eyes and smile.

'Merlin, what she does to me.'

He gathered his thoughts as she came within touching distance.

"Hi, you look great." He growled while softly gathering her fingers.

He watched her intently and seemed to see a flicker of desire shoot through her expression.

"Thanks Black, you clean up rather well yourself." She replied looking him up and down.

"Well, as we're all agreed as to how good we look, I think we should hit Hogsmeade so we can show the village folk just how good looking we are." He grinned wolfishly and winked at Roxie who rolled her eyes.

"Sounds good to me mate, and anyway, the sooner we leave the sooner we can hit the Three Broomsticks and get us some Butter Beer!" said James, sounding like a kid about to go to the zoo.

Sirius chuckled under his breath and whispered in an undertone to Roxie.

"That guy loves his Butter Beer almost as much as he does Lily…and that saying something."

Roxie looked at Sirius slightly wide eyed.

'Aww shit, I did not just tell Roxie that…yup, that joint was a very bad idea.'

"Ok…so what do you want to do after going to the Three Broomsticks?" Roxie asked trying to change the subject. She could tell by Sirius's face that he was not meant to have said that.

"Well, I was thinking that we could go for a walk. It's nice walking weather, not to cold, not raining, but the winds got a nice…bite to it."

Once again Roxie looked at Sirius in shock and then laughed out loud.

"Since when the hell have you ever given two fucks about 'walking weather'? Do you know how gay that makes you sound?" she manages to choke out while still laughing.

"Hey! It isn't gay; it's very manly and sexy. Just like me." He finished off his sentence by puffing out his chest. She could see his muscles through the jumper and took all of her will power just to refrain from touching him.

"Well Sirius, I'll give you that…it was an understatement when I said you looked good today." This time it was Roxie that mentally kicked herself for revealing too much. He stopped in his tracks and she waited for his cocky comeback but it never came.

"Do you mean that?" he asked instead in such a gentle manner Roxie didn't think it was possible.

"Yes…I did mean that." She replied softly, starting to blush to the roots of her hair.

"That means a lot to me Rox." He finished quietly before leaning down and softly kissing her on the cheek. He then started walking again as if nothing had just happened. Roxie was still standing stock-still. Her hand slowly brushed the patch of skin that he had kissed so softly. At that moment she had felt her heart melt. How did he do this to her?

She cleared her throat and shyly smiled back up at Sirius who smiled warmly in return. She then realised something, or someone, was missing.

"Where are James and Lily?" she asked regaining all of her previous confidence.

"Oh, I think they've walked ahead, they're quick walkers."

"James not one to enjoy this fine walking weather?" she asked with a butter-wouldn't –melt-in-my-mouth look.

"Shut up Roxie." He said playfully which was accompanied by a gentle shove.

-(-(-(-)-)-)-

James and Lily had been walking quite fast without realising, so before they knew it they had left Roxie and Sirius in the dust.

Lily would never have thought this, but it was actually possible to walk alongside James Potter in a comfortable silence. He hadn't been leering at her, making gestures, just acting like a friend. And she enjoyed it. She enjoyed his company. At apprehending this Lily felt her heart swell.

'Well, maybe if we can be friends then I can treat this as more as a date then a meeting…'

'NO!' came the voice from the back of her head. 'Don't give into your feelings…you know what happened last time.' Images of Sasha Smith flew into her mind. She winced at feeling the pain it brought up again.

'You're right, I can't let that happen. Whatever I do, I have to make sure that I don't develop those feelings for him again. That night after the gig was different. It was alcohol fuelled, but no more excuses.'

A/N SORRY THIS IS SUCH A SHORT CHAPTER BUT THAT'S BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T UPLOAD PROPERLY! THE REST OF THIS CHAPTER HAS BEEN PUT INTO CHAPTER 14, WHICH IS REALLY CHAPTER 13…THIS CONFUSES ME!
