Disclaimer: see previous chapters. I don't own anything so don't sue me.
a/n: Sorry I haven't that I haven't written in a long time. Don't kill me. I'm so nervous about starting high school.
jeni – hey, Im sorry about this chapter. I know it's probably clique-ish but I really need to get James and Lily together soon. So I figure this is the best way. Don't get mad. I got a chapter coming up (probably chapter, what, 11 maybe?) that's not so clique-ish
Chapter 7
* * *
Malfoy raised his wand triumphantly.
"Crucio!"
Lily closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come but only felt someone grab her by the waist and jerk her to the ground. Lily looked up into the eyes of James Potter.
"Get out of here Lily"
James let go of her waist and pulled Lily up. He gently pushed her toward the Gryffindor tower. James pulled Lily close to him muffling her sobs.
"This is between me and Malfoy, go!" he spoke urgently
Lily nodded feebly and blindly crashed her way to the Gryffindor Girl's Dormitory. Jas was nervously sitting on her bed waiting for Lily.
"It's all right Lily. Everyone has to die," Jas said comfortingly above Lily's racking sobs
Lily looked at her tearfully. "I didn't even go home for Christmas," she wailed
"There's nothing you can do but keep living. You need to live for you parents" Jas replied optimistically
"If it cheers you up a little bit, Dumbledore announced later when the other Gryffindors finally got up that we're having a Spring Ball." Jas added thoughtfully handing Lily a tissue
"I'm not going" Lily sniffled
"You are too."
"Am not"
"are too"
"am not"
"are too"
"am not"
"are too"
"am not"
"are too"
Lily glared at Jas. Before she could open her mouth again, someone knocked on the door.
"Come on in" Lily sighed. James peered through the door looking apprehensive.
"Are you ok Lily?"
Lily rolled her eyes, "Yes I'm fine. My parents just got killed by the raving lunatic named Voldemort for no apparent reason. Then right after I hear the news about them, I get attacked by a pack of deranged Slytherins. Do you think I'm ok?"
James opened and closed his mouth soundlessly sputtering slightly. He suddenly turned and left the room
Jas sighed. "You shouldn't have been so harsh on him, you know? James was only trying to help."
Lily sighed, "Why doesn't everyone leave me alone?"
She closed the curtains on her bed and laid back staring at the ceiling
Lily opened her eyes.
"What in the world do you want James?" she muttered groggily
James poked her persistently, "C'mon get up. I got a good idea to cheer you up."
Lily frowned and looked at the clock.
"You've got a brilliant idea at 1 in the morning, have you Jimmy boy?"
James frowned at her. "What's with the Jimmy boy?"
"It's a nickname I made up for you." Lily replied sleepily
She was about to turn over and continue sleeping when James lifted her out of bed.
"Hey stop it. Lemme alone or else I'll scream bloody murder" Lily threatened
"C'mon. Meet me in the common room after you get dressed."
James set her back on the bed
Lily sighed and sleepily pulled on a pair of jeans and a tank top.
"What are we going to do Jimmy?"
James grinned and waved his broom in front of her.
"We're going for a ride" he said enthusiastically
"Fine-" Lily replied nodding off to sleep.
"WHAT?" Lily shouted now wide-awake. "Go for a ride on YOUR broom? No thanks I think I like the ground very much"
"But…"
"Nope I've seen you on that broom. You and your Wronski Feint or something" Lily shuddered
James looked at her slightly pouting. "Please? I promise you nothing scary. For me?"
Lily blinked. "well…"
She looked at James's hopeful look
"Fine" Lily relented.
James's face lit up. "Come one. Let's go!" and dragged her out to the Quiditch Pitch.
Outside the sky was a dark velvety color. The air was misty and cool. Lily looked up at the stars twinkling at her. The stars were oddly in a picture of a – lily.
"All right there?" James asked saddling onto the broom behind her.
"Er I guess."
James leaned forward toward Lily to grasp the broomstick and pushed off.
Lily gave a gasp of exhilaration. James leveled the broom high in the air and suddenly dived down toward the lake. Their toes skimmed over the lake's glassy surface.
James pulled the broom up toward the sky. They went through a cloud
"Look down there" James pointed.
Below them there was a silvery unicorn running though the grass following them.
"Isn't it so pretty?" Lily breathed. James nodded silently
Lily looked at his slightly expressionless face regretfully. "Hey, look I'm sorry about what happened this morning. It was really mean of me and I shouldn't have yelled at you."
Lily brushed back a strand of her hair and shyly looked at James, "Will you forgive me?"
Aaaahhhhhhhh! I know that was sort of fluffy. I m bad at writing mushy stuff so bear with me. I'll try to write longer chapters.
Luv ya'll! Thanks so much to you peoples who reviewed. I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. Maybe 160 reviews? Please? Thanks!
