In response to Pia's question: Well, no Lily was kind of on and off guys at Hogwarts. But this will be explained later, although it will not be explained full out, so be aware and all ok? James proposed to her.

Some people have more trouble deciding than us...................
"LILY YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM HIM!"
"JAMES, WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING BETWEEN US."
"How can I be so sure?!? You ALWAYS call him, you ALWAYS talk about him."
"James, if I wanted him, I'd have had him at Hogwarts!!"
James stared. Lily tried to stare back but couldn't.
"Fine." He mumbled. "Fine."
Lily sat the kitchen table, watching the television with anticipation. It was a muggle channel, but even muggles could not ignore the horror that had begun. Murders. Everywhere in London. And no one knew who the culprit was.
At least, muggles didn't know. It was painfully obvious who it was to wizards. Lily froze at the thought of the name. Voldemort. What kind of a man would do this? It sent shivers down her spine to think of it. He could not be tracked. And the murders were frequent and on their friends and other wizards. She switched to a wizarding channel. At first, it showed an ad for a watering can. The ad repeated several times.
"Gladys Temporel." Lily said. The screen went gooey, shook violently, until a different program appeared. It was the news hour, and a picture of a hooded figure was in the corner of the screen. A wizard sat at a desk with a solemn look on his face.
"The Ministry cannot identify the man. He goes by a name, and has been referred to as 'The Dark Lord'. Until they can gather more information, the Ministry advises all to be very careful. These murders have been proven as against the Aurors and other Ministry workers. Stay inside your houses late at night and make sure you don't give away any information about yourself."
The news story changed and Lily let out a sigh. James was off work with the Ministry while he took care of Harry, but his work in the Ministry was against the Dark Lord. He was most likely on the list of people wanted by the death eaters.
Lily closed her eyes and tried to forget this. She suddenly felt very cold and vulnerable. She went into the sitting room and picked up Harry, holding him very close to her chest. She rocked him back and forth slowly, looking out the window, wishing James was home. Harry looked up at his mother, sucking on the lightning bolt toy.
"Ok sir. Yes. I will be in soon."
James hung up the phone and looked at Lily. It was 5 in the afternoon, and a beautiful day. But dread hung over the Potter household. James slowly walked over to Lily, rubbing his eyes.
"Lily........"
Lily looked at him anxiously. She was feeding Harry milk out of a bottle and holding the bottle very tight.
"I have to go back to work. We have to work against the murders."
"NO JAMES!" Lily wanted to jump up, but Harry on her lap prevented her. "No please!"
"Lily I have to. People are in danger."
Lily looked down at Harry. Then she looked back at James.
"Be careful." She said. James nodded. But he did not smile. He took a breath and walked over to her.
"Lily, Sirius called for you." He said, looking down at her.
"Really? Why?" she tried to sound innocent but it was so hard. Lily occupied herself with Harry's feeding. But James leaned close to her.
"I know what's going on. Stop it." Lily felt his breath on her neck and she looked up, straight ahead, but not at him. She just felt herself sweat.
"I DON'T WANT YOU NEAR HIM ANYMORE!" James yelled.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Lily turned around and glared at James. Her eyes were flaring. "There's NOTHING between us! Why can't you believe me?!?"
James took a deep breath, like he wanted to say something. But he just turned away and walked out of the room.
"Stay away from him. I can't stand it. I can't think of him anymore. I love you Lily. Does that mean NOTHING to you?!?" Lily turned away and looked down at the couch. James punched it agitatedly.
"I'm going to work. I'll be back around ten." He said through gritted teeth.
James left swiftly through the front door, walking quickly and slamming the door. Lily sat for awhile after he had left. She sat with Harry for an hour or more, thinking. Now and then, Harry grew restless. Until, he fell asleep. Lily looked down at his precious eyes, closed dreamily, his soft snoring. She got up. She walked over to his cradle and set him inside. She looked at the clock. 7:30. She rushed to the phone.
"Sirius?"
"Lily flower."
"Can you come over tonight?"
"James....."
"He won't be home till ten. And.........and I need you."
Sirius went quiet on the other line.
"I'll be over soon." He said seductively.
Lily hung up and felt her palms begin to sweat. A shiver went down her spine and she closed her eyes, trying to hold back her excitement.
She raced upstairs and prepped the bed. She got into a loose nightgown, ready for him. In ten minutes, she was ready, and the doorbell rang.
She was downstairs in a minute, her heart pounding. She needed him so badly. She threw the door open. There he was. He was wearing a tight white shirt and pants, a jacket around his neck. He looked into her eyes, then ran forward, closing the door, and kissed her passionately on the lips. Lily moaned and kissed him back very hard. Sirius pulled away, grabbed her hand, and ran upstairs.
Both ran into the room at the same time. Lily jumped on the bed and Sirius closed the door. He looked at her, flames in his eyes, and took of his jacket and shirt. Lily looked him up and down, his perfect body capturing her completely. She swallowed.
"God Sirius......"
He fell on her and kissed her all over. Lily laughed. She smiled. She had never felt so happy. Never. His kisses and touch made her want to scream. She rolled further up on the bed, curling into a ball, then springing out. She touched his chest, massaging it slowly. Sirius grinded himself into her area and she groaned loudly.
He reached down and began to lift her nightgown off. But he looked at her first.
"Are you sure?" he said, sweaty already. She felt his anticipation through his pants. Lily gasped and nodded. And Sirius lifted it off, then her bra, then her underwear. Lily moaned and shivered with happiness at his touch. She pulled his pants down slowly, teasing him. Sirius crawled so that he was above her on his hands and knees. He lay on top of her slowly.........
James sat at work. It was 9:30.
I need to get home..........
He yawned and folded up the folders on his desk. There were hundreds, all of them murders, hypothesizes, ideas, and conclusions. He got up and put on his jacket, then turned the lamp off and made his way out of the building.
He quietly slipped through the secret entrance into an alley. Once out, he ran onto the main part of the street and began walking briskly home. It was a cold October night and he pulled his coat closer to his neck, shivering.
It took him ten minutes to walk home, and when he got there, it took him some time to find the key. He looked through his pocket, searching, and finally found it. Fumbling with the lock, he fit the key and opened the door.
All the lights were on. James poked his head in.
"Hello?"
No answer. He walked into the living room and saw Harry by himself, his eyes red from crying so much, sucking on this thumb. James ran over and crouched down, stroking Harry's head slowly.
"Harry......"
There was a loud groan.
James looked up, his heart pounding. He heard a bump from upstairs in his room. James stood up abruptly, his chest beating and burning with fury. He walked out of the room and raced up the stairs. The noise was even louder upstairs. James could feel his eyes blurring and throat exploding from trying not to scream. He ran forward and kicked the door completely off its hinges. It banged to the ground, and there was Sirius, on Lily, bouncing up and down. He turned around and yelled. Lily screamed and tried to cover herself.
But James was burning with rage. His hands were clenched in fists and he ran forward and punched Sirius so hard that his nose was indented. James roared and picked him up above his head, and threw him outside of the room.
"YOU BASTARD!" he yelled. "YOU..."
"James, wait NO!"
"THERE IS NO WAIT NOW YOU FUCKING BASTARD. COME HERE YOU STUPID IDIOT."
James yelled and kicked Sirius in the stomach, again and again, till he jumped on his head, thrusting all of his weight into his feet. Sirius roared with pain and crawled to the stairs.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" James yelled. He kicked Sirius again, then leaned down, spit in his face, and pushed him down the stairs. Sirius's head hit the railing several times, till he stopped at the bottom, bleeding and swaying. He got up and staggered to the door. He turned back.
"James........" he croaked. James glared.
"I said get OUT!" James yelled. Sirius felt himself being pulled. His head felt like an anchor. He fell out the door and closed it behind him, stumbling and coughing up blood.
James turned and went back to Lily, who was frantically trying to put on a nightgown, a look of terror on her face.
"James I........"
"No Lily. There is no 'you' anymore."
