Annoyances, Train Rides and Secrets

For the next few days all that Lily could think about was him, he plagued her thoughts through all of her waking hours and her dreams through her sleeping ones. They had changed from what they used to be, now she no longer longed to see his face in them, they were, instead, full of longing for just him. She craved to just be in his pressence, to be near him, to have him touch her.

She realised that she was becoming rather obsessive with him but she had no control over herself when he was around.

She couldn't wait to see him again and every morning when she woke up she sat straight up in bed and looked around for a note from him and to her great disappointment every morning she found nothing.

Then the day she had been waiting for arrived, 8 days after their last meeting. Lily walked into her bedroom after having a shower and her eyes immediately fell onto a peice of parchment on her bed. She froze at the doorway, her towel falling to the ground but she didn't notice. It was the same curvy handwriting, in the same blue ink. It had to be from him.

She moved quickly over to the bed, closing the door behind her. She sat down and picked up the note. As she held it in her hands she noticed she was shaking, was that fear or anticipation? She turned it over and just her name on the front. She opened the letter and read what it said.

Same time, same place.

Lily felt her heart do a little jump. She glanced at her watch and saw it read 10:30am, that meant she had over 12 hours until she had to meet him. She removed the bottom draw of her chest of drawers to reveal a small space underneath. She placed the letter there along with the other one. She did this partly because couldn't have Pertunia finding them and reading them or she would get in trouble but there was also something inside of her that didn't want her to throw them away.

In the time between recieving the message and leaving the house at 11:30, Lily got 3 more showers, cleaned her room, cut the grass, took the dog on a two hour walk and paced her room for God knows how long. She just needed to keep herself busy so that she wouldn't think about him as much and show that she was excited and nervous or her parents would realise that something was going on.

She walked to the spot where they were to meet without seeing anyone which she found slightly strange but just dismissed as nothing. When she got there she saw him straight away, standing on the curb looking in the other direction. Lily would look back in a few years and wonder about that moment and think that that man standing there could have been anyone and yet she had known it was him, she just knew.

She walked quietly up behind him and placed her hands gently on his waist. He jumped slightly out of surprise but recovered quickly, he didn't turn around but moved his hands onto hers, his large ones completely covering hers. She smiled and leaned her cheek onto his back.

'I've been thinking about you alot,' she said.

'I've thought about you too.'

He turned around to face her and once again she couldn't see his face, but this time she barely noticed. It was possible that he had used some form of darkness charm to keep her from viewing it so she knew she wouldn't be able to until he wished. She didn't mind any more though. Now she liked the mystery.

'Close your eyes,' he whispered so that she could barely hear him, but she obeyed, knowing what was coming.

The moment she felt his lips on hers felt like ecstacy, his were so soft and gentle. She moved her arms up around his neck and felt his hands on her waist. She pushed close to him, taking in all of his being, wanting to be as close as physically possible to him. She used her tongue to part his lips and enter his mouth.

When they parted Lily found that she felt slightly out of breath and stepped back on shaky legs.

'Wow!' she heard him whisper under his breath. 'Exactly the same.' He seemed as disorientated at she did.

'What?' she asked.

'Urgh...nothing.' She considered asking him again but changed her mind, knowing they didn't have long left and wanting to relish it.

She sat down on the curb and he sat next to her. They stayed there in a comfortable silence for a few minutes.

'So,' she started, 'will I ever find out who you are?' The question wasn't said in an angry tone, merely a curious one.

'One day,' was all he said. She smiled, she hadn't really been expecting any more than that.

They talked lightly for the next 30 minutes, not about anything personal or private though, about general things.

As at their last meeting when the clock struck 1 o clock the stranger announced he must leave and vanished, this time, however, he gave Lily a light kiss on the cheek.

In the two weeks that followed before they were due to return to Hogwarts, Lily and her mystery man had one more meeting which was very much the same as the previous one. But by the time she was boarding the Hogwarts Express she was grinning from ear to ear. That was until, she saw James Potter...

'Evans!' Lily cringed, knowing what was coming.

'Potter,' she replied with a slight tone of disgust in her voice, which James either didn't notice or ignored, probably the latter.

'How was your summer?' James was standing in front of her with his hands jammed firmly in him pockets and a cocky grin on his face.

'Fine, thanks,' replied Lily coldly, turning to move away. She didn't like James at all and he knew it. She found him arrogant and immature, along with that idiot of a best friend of his, Sirius Black. Remus she didn't mind so much, he was obviously much less of a wanker than the other two and Peter seemed just too much of a little lapdog for her to even bother about.

As she turned her back to him he stepped forward beside her, throwing his arm around her shoulder.

'So you gonna go out with me?' He had a smile on his face that Lily would guess most girls would find charming and would cause them to fall mercifully at his feet. She, unfortunately for him, wasn't most girls.

'No!' she said simply and pulled away from his grip around her shoulders stepping into one of the train's compartments, dragging her trunk behind her.

She collapsed onto a seat in the compartment and closed her eyes. She was tired. Her dreams about 'him' where becoming so real that she didn't even feel as though she was asleep anymore and so she always seemed to be exhausted.

A few minutes later though the door of her compartment opened and so did her eyes.

'Sydney!' It was Lily's best friend, looking very worn out dragging what appeared to be a heavier than usual trunk behind her. She attempted to pull it into the compartment and after being unable to get it through the door gave up and left it in the hallway.

Lily opened her mouth to say something about her not really thinking it was allowed for a trunk to be left there but decided against it and closed it again. She instead stood up and gave her friend and hug.

'How was your summer?' she asked smiling, she hadn't been able to see Sydney since they finished school last year because she had spent the holiday travelling with her parents who were muggle scientists, more like explorers.

Sydney ran her hand through her long, blonde hair pulling it out of her face before she spoke.

'Oh it was amazing, there's so much to learn, it's everywhere, you just have to know where to look.' She was smiling,which caused her blue eyes to sparkle. She was very beautiful and Lily often envied her for it. The way that she could wake up on a morning looking perfect and could eat what she wanted without ever gaining weight. Sydney looked like the girl that all the boys were in love with. Blonde hair, blue eyes, amazing figure. She might look like a bimbo but she certainly wasn't one. She was extremely intelligent, however, though Lily didn't really want to admit it, she wasn't quite as intelligent as Lily, who was currently working at a level of top of the year followed closely by James Potter. This was another reason why Lily disliked him so much. She may be clever but she worked for it, James was the kind of person who would very easily get an O in any exam without even revising.

'Anyway Lil, how was your summer, anything exciting happen?' Lily stopped for a moment. Should she tell Syd about her mystery man? Or keep it to herself? In the twenty seconds before she answered her friend Lily managed to run a quick list of pros and cons in her head.

'No, nothing really, it's been fairly boring.' She didn't want to tell her, she wanted it to be her secret, that way she could keep him all to herself. She smiled slightly and her best friend eyed her suspiciously but didn't ask her anymore questions, probably because she knew she wouldn't get an answer for them.

The two girls spent the rest of the train ride talking about various things. They discussed the possibility of this being the year that Sydney FINALLY managed to attach herself to Remus Lupin, who she had been in love with since they first met in their first year and who had also been in love with her but they were both too shy to actually make a move.

If it had been any of the other Marauders then Lily would have been firmly against it but she didn't mind Remus as much as the rest. Though he did get ill alot.

They also gossiped about several other girls in their year including Lora Despite who, for some reason neither of them could work out, hated Lily with a passion and of course Sydney as well being Lily's best friend. Also because she had been the one to put an acne potion in her face cream in their forth year after she had tripped Lily over and had sent her flying in the middle of the Great Hall in front of everyone.

When they at last arrived at Hogwarts the two girls were exhausted and both sat through the sorting and the feast without saying much at all.

At least that was the reason Sydney thought Lily wasn't talking, which it partly was. The other reason was that she was desperately scanning the hall full of students to try and work out who her mystery man could be. After doing this for 35 minutes she decided she really had no clue and decided to turn her attention to her food which was currently spilled all over the table cloth in front of her because she hadn't been paying attention.

When the feast finished the girls stood up. 'At last we can go to bed,' said Sydney stretching and accidently hitting a second year Ravenclaw boy in the head.

'Speak for youself,' muttered Lily, 'I'm prefect remember, I have to make sure all the little first years get where you want to be and, of course, deal with any who have suddenly decided to be homesick despite the fact they have been away from their parents for about 12 hours. It'll be a good hour and a half before I get to bed.'

Her friend looked at her sympathetically but also with a glint in her eye which said Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

The two girls parted and Lily set off hearding first years towards the Great Hall's exit.
