Harry Potter Fanfiction

India Kieser

Author's Note: Second chapter. I have this story planned out pretty well, so it shouldn't be hard to write it. I just hope to get lots of reviews. R and R please!
James and Lily lay in bed, asleep. Now and then, James would turn over and mumble something random is his sleep. Lily slept silently.

Suddenly, a cry was heard from Harry's bedroom. It was soft, and then grew louder. Lily slowly opened her eyes, and blinked. James began to wake up as well. He groaned and sat up.

"I'll get him." He mumbled, as Harry's cries became louder.

"No." Lily said, stepping out of bed into her slippers. "I will." She yawned and put on a bathrobe, as James happily fell back underneath the covers.

Lily trudged across the hall to Harry's bedroom. She leaned on the door and looked at his crib. A light outside on the street was making a green eerie glow on his crib. Lily shivered and scooted over to take him out. A mobile above it turned slowly, and little Harry tried to grab it as she lifted him up.

"Oh!" Lily took his hand away from it and lifted him into a cradling position in her arms. She rocked him back and forth slowly, whispering and singing softly. She walked over to the window and sat down on the love seat, looking outside.

"Yes, and I was lucky to know Lily."

Lily blinked. Sirius's words were still in her head. She tightened her arms around Harry a bit more.

"Very lucky..........Lily flower."

In exasperation, Lily got up and began pacing the room. She felt sweat on her forehead. Harry began to whine again, sensing his mother's anxiety. Lily looked down at her baby, James's baby, and felt guiltiness overwhelm her. She rocked him back and forth slowly.

She had been so young. And James so sure of himself, that she hadn't really thought about it. Marriage seemed so simple, and yet now she found herself trapped in it.

Lily brushed her tangled hair out of her face and sighed. Harry was finally asleep again, so she softly laid him back in his crib. She walked back to bed, still thinking of Sirius.

Marriage. What a silly thing to do.

"Mrs. Potter? Excuse me?"

Lily blinked and looked up. James was smiling down at her. She looked around and remembered she was at work. She sighed and smiled at him.

"Hello!" she said. Harry was on James's back in a baby carrier, sleeping soundly. James handed her flowers. Lilies.

"They reminded me of you." He said, grinning. Lily smiled and got up to kiss him. He leaned forward before she could though and kissed her on the lips. Lily smiled and kissed him back. James began to get more involved when Lily pulled away and looked across the hall, where her boss was.

"Ooops!" James said grinning. Lily laughed.

"Tonight." She said. "Rain check."

James pointed at her as he left, blew a kiss, and was out the door in no time. Lily sighed and flopped back into her chair. She looked at the bouquet of lilies and smiled. James was so nice. And so reassuring. She leaned forward and began to write her articles for the paper again. She was about to begin dictating to the quill when her muggle phone rang.

The girl at the cubicle next to her jumped and gasped. Then she poked her head around.

"I swear, those things have got to go!" She said. "We should talk to the boss. I don't believe him when he says they're simpler to use."

"Oh but they are!" Lily said. The girl snorted and returned to her work, and Lily rolled her eyes grinning. She picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Lily flower."

Lily felt a chill go down her spine and she sat up straight.

"Sirius?" she breathed. She heard him laugh.

"How did you get this number?" she asked angrily.

"I have sources." He said. "And I wanted to hear you."

Lily frowned, even though he wasn't there to see. They were both quiet for a bit.

"I was thinking of you last night." Sirius said suddenly. Lily gasped and clutched the phone.

"Why you......"

"You haven't hung up yet. You must like me a little more then you show." There was a drawl to his voice. Lily was fuming, but at the same time, her heart was beating and she was sweating.

"I........."

"Do you want to see me tonight?"

Lily was quiet. She opened her mouth but then closed it.

"I..." she thought for a moment. Then spoke: "Yes. I do."

She could almost hear his grin.

"Ok then. I know a restaurant in Diagon Alley. I'll come get you."

"But what about James?"

Sirius was silent.

"Make sure he isn't home at seven. And leave him a note saying you went out."

"O....okay." Lily said slowly.

"And Lily?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."

Lily's heart thumped more and she sat up a little more. She felt herself growing excited and her hands could barely grip the phone.

"Lily, you're beautiful. I think you love me too." Sirius said in a seductive voice. Lily gulped hard and closed her eyes. She saw his face.

"Sirius, I need you." She whispered.

"Yes." He said softly. "I'll see you tonight."
