Hey! Just so you know, the story isn't over...I meant the ending of that chapter. Lol.

And! I did a typo...but I don't feel like copying and pasting and crap so yeah. The typo was Madam Pomfrey called Lily Mrs. Evans, when it's really Ms. Evans. I do that a lot...Sorry for the confusion!

Here's Chapter Twelve! Hope you enjoy!

Chapter Twelve:

I know what you're thinking. Probably something along the lines of "OH MY GOD!" Yeah, I know, me too.

All I know is when his lips touched mine it was pure bliss. I felt like I was in heaven.

James didn't react at all at first and I freaked out and was about to pull away when he finally seemed to regain his senses. I felt his hands land gently on my waist and I slid my arms around his neck.

I opened my eyes as we pulled away, his hands were still on my waist holding me in place. I blushed as I looked into his gorgeous hazel eyes. I felt like they could see right through me and, truthfully, I felt like I should be self-conscious or something. I mean it's not everyday you're kissing the hottest guy at school...But it was weird, cause' I felt totally normal.

We didn't speak, he just took my hands in his and led me to our common room. I had forgotten we were standing in the middle of the corridor. Oh, how embarassing that would be if just anyone walked up and spotted us. I flushed just at the thought of it.

No words were exchanged as we walked in silence. When we got to the entrance James muttered what I assume was the password and we walked in to the common room.

When we stopped, in front of the couch, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. What was I supposed to say to him? I just...kissed him. So I guess that answered my question, I did like James more than a friend. Heck, I liked him a whole lot more than a friend.

James was watching me curiously as my cheeks continued to get a darker shade of red. Suddenly, out of the blue, he began to chuckle. I frowned at his behavior and crossed my arms over my chest.

"What?" I asked. "Is so funny?" He just answered me by shaking his head, still chuckling. It was annoying me because I had a feeling he was laughing at me. And generally when people laugh at you this is the reaction they get.

James pulled me into his arms and he slid onto the couch.

"I like you a lot, Evans." James said with that boy-ish tone that he used to get out of doing homework with teachers.

"Well, Jamie, I think I like you too." I answered back in an equally as girly tone. He smirked at me, before kissing me forehead and looking out the window.

I smiled to myself at this one little gesture. I think it showed me how he really did care about me. I rested my head on his shoulder as his arm rested across my shoulders. It was so strange how I felt like I could do this my whole life. Sitting with James, having all my worries vanish. Just being able to live in the moment, which is something I've never been able to do before.

James traced patterns on my palm with his free hand as I just sat there enjoying the feeling of him being so close to me. Eventually I looked at my watch and realized it was nearly noon. We were supposed to go home at around one.

I frowned, not wanting to leave James anytime soon.

"James." I whispered and he turned his head to look at me. I smiled at the confused expression on his face.

"We need to finish packing." I told him and realization of what time it was dawned on him as his eyes opened wider. I smirked at the look on his face and stood up, or at least I would've stood up if his arm wasn't still around my shoulders. I could feel his smile and turned to give him a pretend glare, then a sad look.

"Please, I need to finish packing." I whined and he gave me a pout. I just smiled and leaned forward to kiss him. He immediately cupped my face in his hands and our lips met once more. Warmness spread from the top of my head to the tips of my toes as I grinned at him.

A second later I pulled away and stood up, backing away from the couch. He didn't even have time to object.

"Lily!" He whined and I shrugged innocently.

"I have to pack." I explained with a smile and he glared at me, hopping up from the couch to grab me. I stuck my tongue out at him before running up to my room to lock the door so I could pack. Too bad for me he's such a fast runner.

Right as I got into my room I made to close the door but he had already made it in.

"Darn you." I said, putting my hands on my hips as he just mocked my innocent shrug.

"I figured I could help you pack." James said, throwing himself onto my bed.

"Oh, because you can get so much work done by sleeping." I said, winking at him. James just grinned and nodded.

I pulled out my wand and immediately began transfiguring boxes into miniature versions of the boxes so they could fit in my pocket. One more drawer to do and I would be done with my room.

"Accio drawer." I said, waving my wand towards the bed. The drawer landed lightly on the bed, next to James and he immediately looked in it. I'm so naive sometimes, I should think before I wave my wand around.

I could see James' eyes light up immediately and my first thought was that whatever was in there was not for his vision. Argh, the bra drawer.

I glared at James and 'accio'ed the drawer back onto my desk. James stuck his tongue out at me in a boy-ish fashion. I rolled my eyes and threw all the contents of the drawer into a box and immediately made it small and put it in my pocket.

I walked over to James and sat down next to him. He was watching with amused eyes and I just shook my head.

"They were lacy!" He exclaimed finally and I pushed him playfully in the shoulder.
"Shut up." I muttered and he laughed.

"I especially liked the pink one with-"

"James!" I cut him off, pushing him down onto his back.

"Stop!" I told him, sticking my tongue out at him as he realized he was just beaten by his own girlfriend.

"Are we ready for your room?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Already did it." He said and I nodded.

"Well I guess it's time to leave." I noted sadly and James wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I love you, Lily." He whispered into my ear and I smiled as his breath tickled my ear.

"We're going to be late to say goodbye to everyone if you keep distracting me." I pointed out and he just shrugged.

"So?" He asked and I rolled my eyes, pulling him off the bed.

"Do you have everything?"

"Of course I do, Lily. Do you have no faith in me?" He asked in a mock-hurt voice and I shrugged.

"Hey!" He exclaimed and I laughed.

"Just kidding. I have all my faith in you." I said as we walked down to the entrance hall.

"The couple finally comes to join us." I heard Sirius say as we entered the mass of former students. I heard Remus chuckle and I rolled my eyes.

"Hello all." I said cheerfully as I saw Abbey and Nesie enter behind us.

"So..." James said, uncomfortably.
"So, me and James we-"

"Hooked up. Yeah, yeah we know." Abbey cut in and she smiled cheekily at me.

"So are we ready to go?" Nesie asked and all of us nodded our heads. James took my hand and we walked onto the grounds. The others followed us and we stopped as we reached the lake.

"Well this is it." James said as we stood in silence. The realization that we wouldn't be coming back was just hitting us. I knew I had to leave before I started to cry, I could tell Nese and Abbey were heading that direction as well.

"I can't believe it's over." I whispered and Abbey nodded.

"It feels like we just started here." She said quietly and I sighed, holding back tears that were threatening to fall. James seemed to notice and began rubbing comforting circles on my back. A tear slid down my cheek as we all stood watching the castle, we wouldn't be coming back to next year.

With one last look we all apparated back to Abbey, Nese and my new apartment. The seven years we spent at Hogwarts, now in the past and our future's lay ahead of us ready to begin.

'Cause I come alive with your touch
Your touch, it always sets me free
I can't get quite enough
Too much of you is what I need
Yes I know, you're the one
'Cause love has come alive in me

Tell me why do I always have to tell you how I feel
Can't you see you're the one, the only thing
That ever meant something to me
And I need your touch to come alive.
