What happened in the last chapter

''This son, is a black belt in Karate.'' Mr Evans explained seriously. ''I was a champion in karate and judo, and if I ever hear that you have hurt my daughter I swear that I will chop you into small pieces with my bare hands.'' I gulped and my eyes widened in shock. ''Clear?'' I just nodded in response, my throat was dry and I couldn't find any words in my head. ''Yes, Steven 'The Slicer' was what they used to call me, because of how I could slice bricks in half so easily.'' Mr Evans continued, to emphasise his point, and although I was filled with a new found fear, I thought Lily had told me her dad's name was John.

'Don't be so nervous, James,' said Mr Evans, clapping me on the shoulder. 'We're glad you're here, and we're glad you're looking out for our little girl.'

Again, I was glad that Sirius was hundreds of miles away, probably snogging Emma in a tiny cupboard in the castle.

Chapter Seven

"Good morning!" I entered the empty common room on the morning of the 13th February. My good mood vanished quickly when there was no one around to greet me. Luckily the portrait hole creaked open and three people entered.

"Just meet me in classroom eleven, like always and we'll go to the shack from there okay. Exactly the same as every month," James whispered to Sirius, obviously not noticing my presence in the room.

"Morning, guys." All three boys jumped and turned with exclamations of greeting. I raised my eyebrows at their suspicious behaviour. "Wotcha talkin' 'bout?"

"NOTHING!" Three seventeen year old boys yelling at the same time in your ear is not something I would recommend.

"I don't believe you for one second."

"It's nothing Lil, really." James, my boyfriend, walked over to me and put his arms around my waist.

"Alright, but I still don't believe you." I smiled and leaned against his strong body. "Just don't tell me if you're gonna break any rules."

"Why?"

"Because Sirius," I walked over to the handsome boy. "If I don't know, then I can't give you detention."

Later that evening, James sat his cute bum on a chair next to mine in the study hall.

"Hey Flower," he said, planting a kiss on my cheek and spreading his books and parchment on the table in front of him.

"Hey." I was a bit distracted by an incredibly annoying Arithmancy problem to have a proper conversation with my boyfriend. James was able to get on with his homework without distracting me while I was doing mine. A definite first for him.

But when I was finished, James was still filling his parchment with Transfiguration.

"Sweetie?"

"Yeah?" James still didn't look up.

I ran my hand across his shoulders, nibbling his ear. "You've been working straight for over an hour. You are allowed a break."

"I know. I'm nearly finished."

"James," I said provocatively. This time his face turned to mine. "We're alone James." Turning fully in his chair he pulled me over onto his lap, and slid his mouth gently over mine.

Ten minutes later, when the need for oxygen was at its greatest, I pulled my face from James' and rested it on his shoulder, yawning. James snuggled me closer, planting a kiss on my head.

"What surprises have you got for me tomorrow?"

"Why would I have a surprise for you tomorrow?" James asked confused.

"It's Valentines day. You didn't forget, did you?" I laughed.

"NO! I didn't forget. I was just testing you."

"It's okay, James. I can't really stand all of that stupid holiday stuff anyway. Companies use it as an excuse to con innocent people into buying more pointless junk. I didn't get you anything."

"Sorry."

"Why?" I giggled. "We can just spend the evening in front of the fire in the common room. Just us together. It'll be really romantic and we haven't done that in a while."

"That's sounds really…er," James stopped speaking.

"What?"

"I can't spend the evening with you Lil. I'm sorry. I really really really want to…"

"Why not?" Slightly confused. Very angry. Wanting to cry.

"Because…because I promised Remus that I would do something for him."

"Is it what you were talking about in the common room this morning?"

"Yeah," he said.

"Well," the need for tears still very present. "What is it?"

"I, I really can't tell you. Sweetie, I'm so sorry. Please don't be angry at me." James pleaded.

"You obviously don't trust me enough with your BIG stupid Marauders SECRET!" I jumped up from his lap, tears threatening to fall down my face. "See you later," I whispered. James jumped up to stop me running away. "NO! Don't touch me!" I said forcefully.

"Lily!" James called as I strode through the door. "Don't be upset Lil." Giving up quickly on getting me to listen, James slumped back into his chair, sighed and ran his hand over his face.

I stood outside the door, listening to James packing his books back into his bag. Slowly I made my way back to Gryffindor tower, up to my dormitory and into bed.

A/N: I am very proud that I was able to get this chapter uploaded tonight. I was sure that this chapter would take another couple of months. As I have this week off school and work I decided to write a valentines chapter. At the beginning of this story I was asked if there would be any fights, well GeorgiaBlack, you have your fight. I hope it was satisfactory.

Don't worry. Our fave couple won't be mad at each other for too long.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
