Chapter 22: Always more.. eh.. Brooms in the forest?

Lily was sitting in the common room with James, Naena, and Sirius alone while everyone was upstairs sleeping or exploring the corridors. James was sitting with Lily on the sofa; he was stretched out, while she laid on him with her head on his chest near his neck.

For about an hour, the boys had been talking about the Quidditch against Hufflepuff tomorrow. Not that she minded the 'guy talk'. But it was getting quite annoying, and stressful for Lily. Naena of course had her fair share in the wizard sports and all, but she fell asleep as the guys ranted on about the following game. Snoring a wee bit loudly.

" - As you see, Robinson always has the weak spot on his left arm. If we just hit him with the blud-"

Lily groaned and snapped her hands over her ears, trying to block out all the prep talk.

' If I can't see you, I can't hear you. If I can't see you, I can't hear you-' She repeated over in her mind.

There was a sudden poke on her back," Ouch- what?" She said looking up.

James was grinning," What?" She asked again.

James made a groan," You're making my legs fall asleep-"

"Then I'll get off-" She replied while rising off him.

"No!" He said quickly seizing her hips, and pushing her bit roughly down onto him.

"I don't mind- I'm just saying.."

Lily shifted in his lap and then stopped to smirked," Oh, I get it. You're getting a bit aros-"

"LILY!"

Smirking she rubbed her hips hard against his," Or I'll just make you-"

He let out a moan slash groan, and held her hips tighter. Lily smiled and rose off him, leaving him alone downstairs with his best friend laughing and his sister mumbling on the couch.

"Night sweetie- have..er..fun!" She said cheerfully, and jogged up the staircase.

Sirius was downstairs choking on his own laughter," Damn! I love that girl!"

Lily had taken a quick shower, and hopped into her warm comfy bed with the moonlight shining brightly through the windows. Naena had came back upstairs, groaning for her bed, she tripped over Lily's open trunk, yelled at Lindsey thinking it was Lily, and then fell onto her bed snoring loudly.

This made Lily want to shove a sock in her mouth.

Tossing onto her side, Lily heard a small board squeaking from the side of the room. Lily groaned and put her pillow over her head, so she could block out all noises. Inside the room, and outside on Hogwarts grounds.

There was another board squeak and she paid no attention to it..

She flipped onto her other side, and shifted uncomfortably. It was like someone was watching her. Her eyelids fluttered open, and she almost screamed, if a hand didn't cover her mouth.

The hand fell off her mouth, because she had licked it.

"James, ugg I can't believe you snuck up here."

James grinned. He was standing next to her bed, wearing his silvery boxers and his hair was ruffled, which his hand just glided through.

"Aww, did I wakey up willy?"

"My name is not Wil- JAMES!"

Before she could finish her complaint, James hand picked her up and slung her over his shoulder.

"PUT ME DOWN!" She said, trying not to laugh.

" Never, tis my fair lady." James replied slyly.

" I hate you."

"No, you love me." He said laughing, while he walked down the staircase with his Lily over his shoulder.

"If you drop tis fair lady, I will kick you tis new year."

" I'd never drop you.."

"Don't, don't even have the thought of it-"

They crossed the common room, and headed straight up the boys' dormitory staircase. Lily had soon given up struggling from his grip, and let him bring her upstairs.

James reached the Marauders dorm sign, gently kicked the door open, and brought Lily over to his bed. He pushed the velvet curtains open, and laid her down on his bed. Her hair fanned out from the small wind, and her bright-green eyes were twinkling merrily.

"You're lucky I love you."

He got between her legs, and laid down on top of her on his bed," Why am I lucky?" He asked stupidly, while grinning like a mad man.

"Besides the obvious- And I like being in your room. It's sort of safe and -"

He silenced her with a kiss.

Lily felt light warming up her body and she let a smile fly to her lips. Hearing a bird chirp outside somewhere, she fluttered her eyes open.

The white duvet covers stroked her bare skin gently, sending up small goose bumps up her legs. Her hand grazed through her messed up red hair and she let out a groan. She squinted her bright-green eyes and tried to find James- but he wasn't near her.

Lily sat up; fully awaken, and looked around the room. Her clothes were piled around the bed- like they were thrown off. She blushed, remembering the night she had..

Flopping back onto the feathery bed, she smiled into the sunshine and stretched.

She rolled her body, and gazed at a small alarm clock ticking on James nightstand. The snitch she had once saw, was now gone.

Morning Quidditch practice..

' Well there is no point of me staying here,' she thought while sitting up in bed again.

She took his bed sheets and wrapped them around her, and then tightly tied them into a large knot on her front, stumbled to her feet landing on the cold floor, grabbed her clothes quickly and walked out of the boys' dormitories.

Lily was closing the door behind her when she heard footsteps, echoing up from the stone staircase. Panic and pure embarrassment swirled in her mind, so she looked around for a hiding spot..

"Lily?"

She blushed madly and twirled around to see James, pulling off his snow covered Gryffindor Quidditch uniform. He pulled it over his head and gazed at her with a wide smile," Not leaving me are you?"

She turned her head sideways and blushed even more," No- I thought you were gone."

James walked up to her with the same smile and laced his arms around her waist," No, I just had schedule a quick practice- a few boys was worrying that we were going to loose in our next game. But I had to end it when it snowed and Sirius started to throw snowballs at everyone-"

He nodded to his soaked robes crumpled on the floor,"- so I ran for my life, and I wanted to spend the rest of my Saturday with you.." He kissed the side of her neck with cold lips, sending shivers down her body.

Her arms instantly flew around his neck, and she tried her best not to moan out. James hands were caressing her back gently, and massaging her a bit. Then his hand suddenly was touching her soft bare skin on her hips-

She jumped out of her trance, and smacked his hand away.

"No touchy." She said while a smiled, as he looked at his hand.

His head lifted and he showed a evil grin," But, what happens if your 'gown' sort of, err, falls off your goddess like body-"

" By the term fall, you mean, you ravishingly rip off. Don't you?" She asked folding her arms, trying to be strict, and hiding the 'clothing' she was wearing.

" But you'd want that, wouldn't you?" He asked, drawing closer to her every word.

Her heart started to pump wildly again, like a large drum in a rock band.

" Maybe."

"Maybe?"

She smirked;" No." And with that, Lily swung out of his arms and started to walk away, down the stair steps.

A pair of arms twisted around her waist quickly," Oh no you don't-"

Many laughs, small shrieks, giggling, and kissing noises could be heard up the boys' dorms if anyone had walked by..

Lily groaned to herself as she tried to read her book, but she couldn't read at the moment. For the first reason, she was on the Quidditch pitch. Why? James brought her there to watch him. And the other reasons? Well, he gave her 'Thirty' minutes to change, but it ended up with her getting ready in 10 minutes. So in her own mind and thoughts, she thought she looked like crap.

Lily's red and gold scarf blew in the small wind, giving frostbites to her exposed neck. Snatching it out of the winds grip, she tied it softly around her neck. Lily tried rubbing her hands together for warmth, but it seemed that her hands were already frozen solid. Groaning, her teeth began to chatter and she made a metal note to kill James later.

" Hey gorgeous."

Lily looked up and her teeth chattered as she replied: " Some boyfriend you are- leaving your girl out in the cold weather freezing her ass- I think my arse is frozen to the seat!" She said wiggling a bit in her seat.

James grinned and laid down flat on his hovering broom, and extended his hand," Want a free ride to the castle? So you can warm up?"

Lily stopped moving at looked at him," With you? No way!"

He frowned, " You don't trust me?"

" First of all- I hate flying, two I know you're going to do a flip, and three, well I could fall!"

"I'd never drop you, you know that."

Lily blushed and looked down at her legs, " I'm wearing a skirt James-"

He cocked an eyebrow," That will make the ride even more enjoyable-"

"JAMES!"

"Hey! What can I say I'm a man? We think that way."

"I've noticed," She murmured.

He held out his hand again," Come on Lils, I think my ass is freezing up too." He joked with a grin.

She sat up and shook her head in laughter.

Later that afternoon Lily sat in her room peacefully reading her novel, and laying on her bed close to the sparking fire. The room was just nice and toasty, warm enough for a light sweater and a pair of baggy pants.

Rolling over onto her back, Lily held her book out above her head and kept reading on, trying to get comfortable.

The rest of the girls were done packing up their suitcases for Winter Break and decided to help put up decorations downstairs for the people staying over the break- mostly for Lily, James, Sirius, Neana and a few Fifth years and Second.

The sweater Lily was wearing was itching her neck from it's tag on it's cuff. She shifted a couple of times and then shut her book and flew her hand to her neck, and scratched her neck with a small moan.

In relief, Lily opened her book again, but only to be interrupted again my someone-

"LILY!" Came a loud yell, startling her reading.

"LILY! HELP, LILY!"

Groaning, because she recognized the voice, she slinked out of her bed and slowly walked down the girls' dorm staircase.

"LLIILLYY!"

The voice got louder, which she just rolled her eyes at, and walked across the Common Room taking her sweet time. She didn't even bother looking around the room, everyone was looking around the castle before the break, and only two people were holding the Gryffindor tower up-

She slowly jogged up the boys' dormitory staircase, as loud whimpers got louder. Reaching the four boys' sign, she twisted the door open and shuffled in.

"What?" She whined out, and leaning against the open door frame.

She tried hard not to laugh out loud. James sat on his bed, legs crossed and held his hands open, displaying a large pile of shredded twigs and slit wood. James' eyes were shimmering, like on the verge of tears and he gave another loud whimper.

"LOOK AT IT!"

"What am I suppose to be looking at?" She asked puzzledly.

He gave another loud howl of pain.

"MY BROOMSTICK!"

"Ohh.. Why didn't I ever guess?" She said sarcastically.

"LILY!"

She gave a sweet sincere smile, walked over to him and sat on his bed. Her arms wrapped around his waist sideways and she leaned her head on his shaking shoulder.

"Explain."

" I don't know what happened-" He choked out, looking down at his shredded broomstick." I was thinking about trimming it's tail, called it, but instead millions of pieces came soaring in my hands-!"

He gave a fake sob- great actor.

"Oh James.." She said soothingly and caressing his back," There are..er.. " Lily tied thinking of a muggle 'pearl of wisdom'.

"..more brooms in the forest?"

He gave another loud howl," But it was my favorite broom! It was my love! The Windstorm 99 was the best model-"

"I thought you loved me?!" She said indignantly.

He clearly wasn't paying attention," It was how it curved nicely on deep spin outs-" He said with a sob-choking noise," It was the best at deep dives too-"

Lily groaning in frustration smacked his hand; sending his broom pieces flying, and enveloped him into a rough but sweet intense kiss.

His hands skidded up her legs then around her waist, pulling her closer to him. Her quick decision of kissing seemed to sooth his mind.

Their lips slowly parted and she looked up into his eyes as he gave a grin," Mmm.."

" That's it?" She cried out (a/n: think when you try to cheer someone up quickly, which they are *really* moopy, and then they cheer up instantly) " No crying anymore- just one kiss that stopped your babbling!"

He gave a wicked grin then a wink," Call it Kiss therapy, babe."
