get together again soon!!!!!!!!!!!
Ch 6 Patrolling and Games
James and Lily left their friends to go patrolling. As they were walking along the corridor, Lily thought to strike up a conversation. "So, um, I can't wait to go play cat's eye. It will be so much fun."
James glanced at her then said, "Yeah, it should be fun. It was a great idea. A lot better than war anyway."
"What happened at your house when you guys played war?' Lily asked.
James sighed, "Sirius decided it would be fun to play war, not the card game, but like a real war. It was he and Peter against Remus and me. Well, our fort was on one side of my house and Sirius and Peter's was on the other side. Sirius, the genius that he is, decided to blow up my fort. He succeeded, but that means he blew up half my house. Let's just say that my mum wasn't too pleased. I've never seen her so angry. She yelled at us for an hour or so, and then made Sirius, Remus, and Peter go home. She hasn't let them back yet, but they've been owling her and apologizing profusely, so she might let them come over during either Christmas break, or during summer."
"Oh," was all Lily could think to say. Had Sirius really blown up half of the Potter's house?
"Yeah, but it is alright now. I had to work all summer to get back into my mother's good graces, but all has been forgiven," James said.
They walked on in silence for the remainder of their patrol. When they got back to the common room, Sirius was waiting by the portrait hole for them.
"Finally. I thought you'd never get here," Sirius exclaimed.
"Well, who wants to count first?" Peter asked.
"Let's draw straws," James suggested. He transfigured some parchment into straws and held them out. Everyone took one.
"Tough luck Peter," Sirius said. They turned out all of the lights. As soon as Peter went to the boys' dormitory staircase, the rest of them searched for hiding places.
Lily hid behind a sofa, and James hid in the space between the bookcase and the wall. Remus and Lucy soon had their own hiding places as well, but Sirius and Belle couldn't find anywhere. Finally, Sirius decided to get to the place between a chair and the wall, only to soon be accompanied by Belle.
"Sorry, but I don't have time to find a spot anywhere else," Belle whispered, and promptly sat on Sirius's lap. Sirius was slightly taken aback by this, but he quickly recovered and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him.
Belle sighed, and decided now was the time to do what she had been dreading all day.
"Sirius?" Belle whispered.
"Yes," he whispered back.
"I was wondering, I mean you don't have to if you don't want to, but will you go to Hogsmeade with me this weekend?" Belle asked nervously, dreading his answer.
Sirius was completely shocked. He had liked Belle for a while, but didn't think she liked him back. "Of course," he answered back, kissing her gently.
When he pulled away, Belle was extremely thankful that the lights were off, because she was blushing horribly. Sirius liked her. She couldn't believe it. It was too good to be true. At that moment, Belle felt as though she could fly.
Peter had by this time wandered down the stairs to look for everyone. He was walking cautiously through the room, when he tripped over something. Peter heard a snort of laughter that came from the thing he fell over. "I've found you Lucy!" Peter exclaimed.
Lucy sighed, then got up and turned on the lights. "I'm the seeker now," she said.
She turned the lights off and headed to the boys' staircase.
Lucy called out that she was about to come and look, and Lily, who hadn't found a hiding place yet, scrambled to the nearest spot she could find. Unfortunately, that was also the spot that James was in. It was a rather small space between a tall piece of wall that came off the side of the fireplace and the wall. Lily sidled in so that she was right up against James.
"Is it okay if I hide here?" Lily asked.
"Sure," James whispered back, pulling her even more against him.
Lily sighed. Even though she would never admit it aloud, it felt right being in James Potter's arms, feeling the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed, feeling his muscular arms, well toned from years of quidditch practice, around her. It felt right, being close enough to smell his wonderfully intoxicating scent of sandalwood and whatever he used to shave with. She wished that she could stay there forever.
James was having similar thoughts as he stood there holding Lily in his arms. He subconsciously pulled her closer, bringing the aroma of her strawberry scented shampoo with her. He was almost in a state of bliss to be able to be so close to her without her screaming and fighting with him, even if it was only for a few minutes. He knew he loved Lily; he just had to make her see it too. He had to make her reciprocate his feelings. If only this moment would never end.
But much to both of their dismay, Lucy found Sirius, who in turn found Remus, who found Belle, and so on. After about another hour, they ended the game and said good night to one another.
