Note: Yes, I know I said I wouldn't do another Potter fic. (I refuse to call it HP.) This was actually by force, due to my friend. Pairings given and all. Oh well. I think it actually turned out quite nice. Er. On with the disclaimers and stuff... J.K. Rowling owns the characters, Whitney Houston owns the song, but I own the words. Wahaha.
Saving All My Love For You
A shadow was all she saw of him.
Moonlight illuminated his face. He took her by the hand.
He stopped in front of a huge willow tree and laid down a picnic blanket.
The girl stared. "Sirius."
"Relax, Evans."
"I don't really know about this."
He lay down and motioned for her to do the same. Hesitantly, she did.
Then it struck her.
Sirius... he, his face, was just inches away from hers.
Instinctively, she backed away. He seemed to notice. She wanted to slap herself. The last time anyone had gotten this close...
Just a friend. He's just a friend. He has no intentions. She calmed, felt herself breath in her surroundings.
A sky filled with stars. A serene willow tree. A beautiful...
Stop!
"Do you... like it?" Sirius asked slowly.
"Oh. Oh. Oh, yes," she said, regaining consciousness. "It's... beautiful."
Silence.
"Lily?"
She jerked her head up at mention of her name. Only Sirius.
"... Yes?"
And she felt a strange presence grace her lips. His. Sirius's.
Strangely, she felt nothing.
Nothing... but lust.
She would let out the feelings that had been locked up inside her for what seemed like an eternity. She would get over the rape. She would regain her... her life.
He suddenly stood up. "Lily, I have to go."
And then he left.
No, Lily decided, she had not lost her ability to love. She just had been saving all her love for Sirius.
'Cause tonight is the night
That I'm feeling all right
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love for you...
