Chapter 2: The enchanted garden
Lily stumbled out of her four poster bed. Her hair in a mess. As she stood up she noticed that Ara already left for breakfast. She went to the bathroom washed and changed into school robes. She walked out and noticed the midnight blue notebook from yesterday as she was brushing her hair. She stopped and picked the notebook from her night table. It was very soft and silky to touch. She opened it and "Come on you are gone be late for breakfast" flashed across the page. She rubbed her eyes. Not the hallucinations again, I should get some more sleep. She thought. She picked up her school bag and shuffled the notebook into it. She ran all the way to the Great Hall realizing that she had only a few minutes to the classes to begin.
She looked around but did not see Ara anywhere. The Marauders were sitting at the far end of the table. Flirting with some year five Huplepuffs. She sat as far as possible from them and started eating. Suddenly a pair of strong arm circled around her waist. Before she could say anything Potter said:
"Morning Evans, Had a nice sleep?"
"Get your hands off of me Potter!" She yelled throwing his hands of her waist. Now the whole of the Great Hall was facing them. Some of the Slytherins smirked.
"Come on Prongs or we will be late" Sirius added.
"I'll see you later Lily darling" James said to Lily.
Lily just smirked and turned back to her food. Then with everyone else left the Great Hall wondering where Arabella was. She was so in thought she did not even notice when few of the Huplepuff girls followed her around the corner.
"Hey carrot!!" the leading girl, Lydia (AN not offence it was the only name I could come up with) called. With two of her girlfriend like bodyguards behind her. Deana and Karen (AN again no offence please).
"What do you want?" Was Lily's answer
But then just in time James and Sirius appeared from the corner.
"Is there any problem girls" Sirius asked with a mischievous grin on his face.
"No not at all, we were just walking along." Said Lydia
"Good." James said
Then when the Huplepuff girls went off he came closer to Lily. "You don't want to mess with then" James said
"Do you want to go to the charms class with you" Sirius asked in a brother kind of way.
"No I think I can take care of myself that you" Lily snapped
"Well don't go around asking for help later"
"I won't"
"Don't be so sure" whispered James Getting dangerously close to her.
Their noses were now touching as well as their foreheads. Sirius seemed to disappear somewhere down the corridor. Suddenly James circled his strong arms around her tiny waist and pulled her behind. Into a tapestry of a knight in a shinning armor. There was batting of wing over her head and then something rough hit her head. She screamed. James pulled her towards him and clasped her mouth with his hand.
"You want to get us caught or what?!" James hissed
"What was that?" She asked with out waiting.
"Maybe a bat or a spider" He answered casually "Lumos" He whispered getting his wand out as now it was pitch black.
"Where are we going?"
"We are going for a short trip."
"Ok a short trip but, where to?" She was now getting more and more exited. Even a small smile twitched at the corner of her lips.
"You will see." He replied
"Are you always like that?"
"Like what?" He asked a bit of shock could be seen in his eyes. The tunnel was getting steeper and steeper as they went on. At the same time it was getting colder.
"Being so secretive."
"Secretive . Me" Now the shock not only could be seen in his eyes but all over his face too.
"Yeah you. Besides why can't you tell me where we are going?"
"I want it to be a surprise." He said simply.
"Well it better be good, I am ditching school for this" She answered quietly more to herself then to anyone else.
'Don't worry it will be" James said as they were going up.
They were walking in a peaceful silence for a while. Then great stone stairs appeared just in front of them. The stairs had two pillars on the sides each with carved Celtic looking symbols on them.
"We are nearly there" James said as he saw that Lily was getting a bit tired.
As they walked up the stairs torches of different colored fire appeared and then quickly disappeared.
"Wow!" Lily said slowly when she saw the torches flash on the sides.
"Beautiful isn't it? Sirius and I found it last year."
"Yeah." Lily ran up the stairs. At the end of them there were huge green oak doors. Around the edges the same Celtic signs glistened in the now pitch dark staircase. Lily tried to push the doors open but they were closed firmly at the spot. James came up beside her and murmured something. The doors sprang open. With that they pushed Lily right into James's arms. And both of them have fallen onto the ground. James on top of Lily.
Their gazes met. Lily admiring those warm hazel eyes. James just realizing that her eyes were a lot more beautiful then he thought. Lily suddenly broke the contact blushing a bit. Then the uncomfortable silence began. James's eyes were still looking at the spot were Lily's were just a second before.
"umph.James?" Lily said.
"Yeah Lily?" His eyes finally broke from the spot and searched her eyes but she turned away.
"Could you please get off of me?" She said it more like an order then a question. James stood up quickly and outstretched his hand out towards Lily. She accepted it for the first time and stood up. James was shocked but very happy. Maybe there is a chance. - He thought - maybe she doesn't actually hate me. His grin became even wider.
"Should we get going then?" Lily asked nervously.
"Yup I think we should"
They went through the doors. Lily gasped. Behind the doors was the most beautiful garden she ever saw. It wasn't like a muggle garden everything in rows and columns. At first great roses of ever color could be seen. Then realizing that with roses there were tulips and other flowers she couldn't possibly imagine. There was one in about a size of a big comfortable armchair. With pink and purple butterflies flaying above it. She completely forgot about the world. Nothing existed except the garden and her thoughts. She stared running around like a small child eager to see everything. Then she notice James but was so happy she didn't minded him or that she was skipping classes. She took the moment and came up to James.
"Dance with me." She told him.
"Here now there is no music" He was getting more and more shocked by each word. But he had no more time to argue Lily took his arms and placed them around her waist. Then she put her hand around his neck. James then still quite in a shock responded and stared dancing.
They danced and danced until James pulled her down to the armchair flower with an excused that he was tired. It was warm and soft. She was now sitting in his lap. His arms around her. They were just sitting there in a peaceful silence. Which did not happen a lot. They were usually fighting and arguing about god knows what.
"Lily I think we should get back" He said into her auburn hair.
"Hmm." Lily mumbled in her sleep. James was amazed by the way she looked so peaceful when she slept. Her beautiful sparkling green eyes behind her eyelids. He put his head into her hair. It smelled like rosemary. He didn't want to go but they had to. They already miss charms and were half way through potions.
"Hey Lily," He tugged her on her shoulder "Wake up"
"Hmm."
"Wake up Lily we got to go" She just smacked him in her sleep. He saw that she wouldn't wake up so he picked her up.
He carried her all the way to common room. He wanted to carry her up the stairs but he knew that the stairs would turn to a slide. Besides they had to be quick if they wanted to escape rumors.
Then Ara charged into the common room. She saw James with Lily in his arm and was a "bit" shocked.
"WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING" she stopped for a quick breath "KIDNAPPING HER FOR WHOLE DAY AND NOT EVEN SAYING A WORD TO ME AND GO BACK WITH HER UNCONSCIOUS IN YOUR ARM"
"I did not kidnapped her she is not unconscious"
"THEN WHY IS SHE LIVELESS IN YOUR ARM" Now all the students who came back to common room for lunch were now taking all their attention to James. He put Lily down onto the couch and continued to argue with Ara.
"She is just sleeping"
"BUT WHY IS SHE IN YOUR ARMS?"
"She had fallen asleep like that it is not my fault" he hissed loosing his temper.
"WHY WAS SHE EVEN WITH YOU?"
"OK I HAD ENOUGH SHE WENT WITH ME BECAUSE SHE WANTED OK? I BROUGHT HER BACK BECAUSE SHE HAD FALLEN ASLEEP WHAT SHOULD I DONE? HUH? LEFT HER THERE?"
"No" Now Ara was saying in a small guilty voice. "Sorry I was just worrying about Lily that's all"
"Well you know that I care for her more then my life. Why. why would I want to hurt her?" Was all James said and then he stormed out of the common room. Every one was looking after him. He and Lily and item?
AN thanks everyone again. Let me know what you think. I am gone leave it like that for now and let me let you know that I will go to Thailand for 10 (great isn't it?) so there won't be any updates but I will write more after I come back ok?
