And if this chapter turns out a little... surreal (which it probably won't) then don't blame me because I'm listening to Portishead and Morcheeba and some other strangeness that I just love. Something odd is bound to come out. I've also just finished my report on Salvador Dali... again... something odd is bound to come out of this. Anyhoo... en con el cuento!! Err.. On w/ the story!
Chapter Five
Lily sat on her bed after coming up from the party. She had left early and Ebony had soon come upstairs as well. They were the only two in 'The Shrine'.
She sat and began thinking about the happenings of the day. First Gryffindor had won the quidditch game. And then she had met James. She got a fluttering feeling in her chest just thinking about him. And they had talked for a while. And then Amy had come.
'Damn her' thought Lily.
'Jealous?' asked her mind.
"Damn straight" said Lily.
"What?" asked Ebony. Lily had forgotten she wasn't alone.
"Nothing. I was just talking to myself."
"Oh… that's the first sign of insanity you know?" When Lily didn't laugh she knew something was wrong. "Well… want to talk to me?" she asked coming over to sit on Lily's bed
"Sure."
"Are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well… you just seem a little down."
"How so?"
"Well… all semester you've been telling me about the great guy you met over the summer… and now that you see him again you don't seem too happy."
"I am happy to see him…. It's that girl I'm not happy to see."
"Amy… yeah. They went out for a month in fifth year and she hasn't gotten it through her head that he broke up with her." They both laughed at this.
"Is there anything else bothering you?" Ebony asked once they had stopped laughing. Lily sighed.
"You cannot tell anyone… not even Sirius."
"You know me better than that."
"Well… I told you the nature of James' and my relationship, did I not?" asked Lily.
"Yes…the whole 'all sex, no feelings' thing." Lily smiled.
"Aye… that. Well I…I…."
"You what?"
"I broke the rule."
"Which?"
"No feelings."
"Oh… so you started… having feelings for James?" Confirmed Ebony. Lily nodded.
"And more than just feelings." She said. Ebony raised an eyebrow. "I think I fell in love with him." Ebony smiled.
"Well, what's so bad about that?" she laughed. "I was expecting some horrible secret like… you had a penis and James was bi or something." She laughed again… but Lily stayed silent.
"…Oh my Goddess… you don't do you?"
"No! Of course not." They both laughed.
"I was scared for a second there." She smiled. "So… what's so bad about falling in love?"
"He'll never love me back."
"I dunno about that."
"What do you mean?"
"Well… I know for a fact that James has been talking about a certain girl he met in Ireland last summer. And he's been talking about her an awful lot."
"Really?"
"So much that I'm seriously considering ripping out his vocal chords." She nodded. Lily laughed. "I'm serious." Said Lily.
"Actually I am." Said Sirius standing in the doorway. In his arms was a giggling girl in Gryffindor quidditch robes.
"That joke is SO, Sirius." Groaned Ebony.
"But you love it!"
"No… I don't,"
"Oh posh."
"Sirius, I'm getting rather bored, just being here in the doorway," said the girl in the quidditch robes.
"Right… come, Amanda… we are for you bed!" he hoisted Amanda over his shoulder and dove into one of the curtained beds.
"Right… you have fun with my big brother, Drachenburg." She yelled at Amanda. Then she said to Lily "I'm just going to go into the guys room. I'm not particularly interested in listening to my brother make out."
"No getting in bed with Remus again!" came Sirius' muffled voice from Amanda's bed.
"Wait for me!" yelled Lily as Ebony went out the door.
At The Sanctuary….
'… Oh as those starry skies
As they swiftly fall
Make no mistake
You can't escape
Tethered and tied
There's no where to hide from me
All mine…you have to be.'
The girls heard the song as they came through the door of The Sanctuary.
"Breaking out the creepy stalker songs again, are we James?" Asked Ebony. James laughed.
"You know how I love them." He began to sing along loudly with the mismatched notes.
'Don't resist
we shall exist
until the day
until the day I die'
A new voice joined in the singing.
'All mine... You have to be.' Sang Lily from the doorway. (A/N: I seem to use 'doorway' a lot in the chap, don't I?)
James stopped singing and looked up as the song came to an end.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey," she replied.
"I didn't know you liked Portishead."
"It's a recent development."
"Well… we'll just… leave you two… alone… so to speak." Said Ebony as she grabbed Remus and pulled him onto his bed.
"If Sirius comes back... I'm not here." Said Ebony as she pulled the curtains shut around them.
"That is lovely. I leave my dorm to get away from a snogging couple and only run into another." Said Lily.
"It happens," said James smiling.
"So…" Lily said after a long pause. They could hear Ebony and Remus making out in the background.
"That's lovely" said Lily.
"You get used to it."
"Them making out?"
"Well… having Sirius as a roommate…"
"Ah…yes I can see that. From what I hear he's not the only one to get around."
"Oh…well…uh…" Lily laughed.
"Relax, James. It's not as though we're going out!"
"Not for lack of wanting," muttered James.
"What?"
"Nothing," he said quickly.
"Alright." A new song began to play.
"I love this song!" said Lily. She began to sing along
'I get high on buzz then a rush when I'm plugged in you. I connect when I'm flush; you get love when told what to do. Wonderful electric… wonderful, electric… wonderful electric… cover me in you. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a strict machine. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with at strict ma -'
"What?" she asked when she saw James staring at her.
"Nothing… you have a great voice."
"Thank you, James."
"You're so beautiful." He blurted out. 'CRAP' his mind screamed. He had not meant to say that. Lily stared at him, surprised.
"Thank you, James." They stared at each other. Then James leaned forward and kissed her.
Lily was surprised at first but then gave into the kiss. He ran his tongue along her bottom lip silently asking for permission to enter. She complied and he slipped his tongue inside her mouth. Their tongues melded together in a battle for which there was no winner. Lily sighed in pleasure at the familiar feeling of kissing James. He pressed her down on his bed and began to run his hands over her body.
"Hey, has any one seen ¾" Sirius started as he came into The Sanctuary. "Whoa there now!" James and Lily sprang apart.
"Shit." Lily cursed under her breath. She got off of the bed and left the room without a backward glance.
'¾ I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a strict machine. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm on love with a strict machine.' The song continued to play.
"Sorry about that, mate." Said Sirius. "I didn't know you guys were… uh… busy."
"It's fine, Sirius… I should probably thank you." Sirius looked at him strangely.
"I was going to ask… Have you seen Ebony?" Just then there was a loud moan from Remus' bed… A very feminine moan.
"If that isn't Ebony I'm going to kill Remus for cheating on my sister. And if that is Ebony then I'm going to kill him for making out with my baby sister." Said Sirius.
"It's TWO FUCKING MINUTES, Sirius!" yelled Ebony from the bed.
"Well at least I know what I'm killing Remus for now." Said Sirius, unfazed by his sister's outburst. He ran towards the bed and began to yell at Remus.
James continued to ignore them and began to think. What had come over him to make him kiss Lily like that? He knew he couldn't be with her because his father was arranging his marriage. He even knew who the girl was going to be, for Christ's sake!! He couldn't go making out with the girl he loved with the girl he was supposed to marry was sleeping in the room across the fucking hall! He sighed as he listened the closing of the song. He would have to resolve it later. No way was he going to get any thinking done with so much yelling going on.
'…I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a strict machine. I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love with a strict machine. La, la, la, la, la…'

A/N: The first song is "All Mine" by Portishead and for the full lyrics you can go to http://www.lyricsfreak.com/album/8549.html
The second song is "Strict Machine" by Goldfrapp… you can get her lyrics at:
http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/g/goldfrapp/strict-machine.htm
And I realize that these songs are fairly new as is the genre and was not around when James and Lily were supposed to have gone to school… but oh, well because I really love these songs and I wanted them in the story so screw it.
And this was supposed to just be a chapter I kinda put in there, but it will actually fit!! YAY!! IT will actually have something to do w/ the general plot instead of just… being there.
I suppose this chapter was kind of short again… O well…anyhow… review my little darlings! Review!! Hate it? Love it? Think it should die? Think I should update faster? Think I should stop writing this piece of shit all together? Tell me ALL about when you review (O how I love NLP).
