A/N: okay, this has taken a very strange twist, even for me. I was thinking about it. And I realized that it needed some excitement… not just a Lily/James story, so read on! Review or Die! Okay, I lied, I want more reviews though, because I still haven't had time to write chapter 4... but here is chapter 3... and I want 10 reviews before I update! REVIEW! and thanks to those who have!
Later that Night
Boys DormJames had been silent all night, and as the boys spoke in their dormitory he just laid their staring at the ceiling.
"So Mooney, you going to ask Kim out?" Peter asked trying to ask innocent.
Remus threw a pillow at Peter and smirked. "Actually Wormtail, that was exactly what I was going to do."
"Go Mooney!" It was Sirius who yelled this time.
"Thank you Padfoot. So, what about you Padfoot, what happened with Natalia?" Remus asked Sirius acting just like Peter had moments ago. It worked a little better on Remus' face.
"Well, you were there Moony. I don't know, I guess we just had the same feelings for her. I'm so happy about it though!" Sirius said with the biggest smile on his face that he could muster.
Just then Sirius realized that James wasn't paying any attention to what was happening around him. "HEY PRONGS! Want to come back and join us?" But to the astonishment of everyone in the room, James didn't even flinch.
Then finally he spoke. "I think I love her." Sirius, Remus, and Peter just looked stunned.
Remus came back to reality first. "Prongs, I think you should go to the hospital wing, I do not think you are feeling okay. Did Lily slip you a love potion at the feast?" Remus looked shocked when James just smiled.
"No, she did not give me a love potion. She did something better, she…" James trailed off. Sirius made an attempt to bring him back.
"She? Finish the sentence mate." Sirius said to him.
"Padfoot, it was marvelous. We were making sure everyone was ready to get
off the train and what not, and by the way, I think you're brother, Regulus, and Natalia's sister, Niki, are dating, but anyway." James paused for a second to stare at the look on Sirius' face, indeed it was priceless, but never the less he went on. "Well Lily came to Snivellus' compartment, and he snapped at her and called her a Mudblood. But instead of just cursing him, I told him we were not looking for trouble and that he just has to be ready to get off the train in a couple minutes.
"Well when the compartment door slid closed, I went to apologize and Lily, Lily… She kissed me…" James' face lit up. Sirius was brought out of his trance.
"GO PRONGS!" Sirius yelled at the top of his voice, little did he know Natalia was doing the same thing in the dormitory across the common room.
Lily had just finished telling them everything. She loved the way it looked.
"Well girls, I'm going to go get James. I think it's time we go see Professor Dumbledore. (A/N: sniff :'( sniff)" With that Lily walked out of the dormitory and up to the boys.
She walked in and James got up quickly. "James, I think its time we go see Professor Dumbledore's office, we need to find out where we are staying." Lily said with a smile. "See you boys tomorrow."
James and Lily walked hand in hand down to Professor Dumbledore's office. James gave the password and the gargoyles sprang away. They took the revolving stairs up to his office and knocked on the door, it opened and they released hands and went and sat down.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Evans." Dumbledore said to them. He looked as great as usual. His long silver hair and beard were shiny. His blue eyes shining in the night, He spoke and gave them their duties. Patrolling was the main one; it did not start till next week luckily.
"Okay, it is time I take you to you're common room and dormitories." He stated with a twinkle in his eyes.
He led them down many flights of stairs and secret passages. Finally they reached a painting with a girl and boy on it. They had to come up with a password over night. Dumbledore left them and they walked into their Common Room.
"Well Lily my dear, what's wrong. You seem very quiet tonight." James asked and wrapped his arms around her waste. She didn't pull back or resist and he was glad. She finally just responded to what he asked.
"James… Nothing in this world could be wrong right now. Everything is perfect. You just changed so much this summer, and though I knew back in fifth year that I liked you… I never imagined that I could like you this much. You're everything I could ever want, and so much more…" Lily said as she put her hands on his.
She loved the feeling she got from being with him. She loved how he made her feel, and the way he didn't push anything. He didn't seem like the same guy who was notorious for shagging and leaving. Then again, maybe he still was that person, but right now, Lily didn't care. She just wanted to be kept in his arms.
"What would you like to do Lily, we have the night free to ourselves. No one in the common room, we can invite down all our friends if you want. We can have a little 'party' and I could go and get you some butter beer." James said this smiling, he knew Lily loved butter beer, and this was perhaps why she agreed.
"You go and get the butter beer, and I'll go and get all our friends, let's see, Natalia, Kim, and Alice. Then let's see, Remus, Sirius, Peter, and Frank is going to come, we should invite someone for Peter… I'll ask him to bring someone." Lily thought aloud. James laughed at how cute she looked while she was thinking.
Memory Break
"Woah! These aren't the same people I saw in the memory! Remus, why didn't Sirius tell me how this happen?" Harry had set off to Godric's Hollow after visiting his aunt and uncle for what he hoped to be the last time. Though is aunt was extremely nice considering Ron and Hermione had come. Then again they both were permitted to use magic. Harry had yet to turn 17 so he could not.
Remus finally answered Harry's question. They had just broken from the memories of James and Lily's seventh year. Harry had to many questions to just watch for the time being. "Sirius was rather, apprehensive. He didn't enjoy the seventh year very much, but that is part of the story later." Remus Lupin replied faintly.
The memories had been stored there for so long, they were both of James and Lily's, but some were also mixed in from Remus and Sirius. Remus was left instructions to make sure Harry had seen them all before facing the Dark Lord Voldemort.
"Well Harry, would you like to continue or go back to the Burrow for the night?" Remus asked giving Harry a stern look. It had been their first night of memories and it had been an extremely shocking dilemma for Harry when he found out.
"Sure, let's go back, Ron and Hermione will want to know what happened. Maybe Ginny will talk to me too." Harry replied sadly. Since Harry had broken up with Ginny she didn't want to have to face him. It hurt him so much to see the hurt in her eyes at dinner every night, but he knew he had to do it. There was no way he would let anything happen to Ginny.
With that Remus and Harry apperated back to the Burrow.
It was a rather cold night in August. Harry had just taken his apperation test the previous day, and passed. He didn't want to be back at the Burrow to be honest. He hated to see Ginny like this; she would not talk to anyone, or come out of her room.
Hermione had tried to speak to her, but she would not here of it. She was hurt and wanted to stay with Harry. She did not care, and Harry was debating whether to just walk into her room and just kiss her again. That's all she wanted. No, it was not. She wanted Harry to herself; no other girl could have him if she could not.
Not that he wanted anyone else. He still wanted to be with Ginny. He wouldn't say it was a mistake, but it wasn't exactly what he wanted. He always thought Ginny would talk to him anyway. Not just ignore him.
Harry realized that he had been standing out in the cold for five minutes before Remus finally brought him back around.
"Harry, are you okay, you seem highly distracted tonight." He sounded fatherly. Finally Harry had someone like him.
"I can't stop thinking about how much I hurt Ginny. Remus what should I do? I never meant to hurt her so much, but I know I did…" Harry said sadly.
"Harry, I'm in the same boat you are. I really love Tonks, but I never want to hurt her, physically, or mentally. I'm beginning to think I should just go with her about it. Sometimes you just have to know when to give in." Remus sadly.
"Thanks Remus, we should go in now, I think I know what I'm going to do." Harry said with a small smile. With that he walked into the Burrow in hopes of seeing Ginny.
A/N: Wow, I don't knkow, let me know if you like it, I'll change it if you don't like it though... :( I hope its not too stupid...
