Chapter 17- Oh the evilness of odd numbers!
Lily skipped into the Great hall for breakfast feeling on top of the world. She hummed the sweet tune that James has sung to her the night before and twirled a pigtail around her finger.
"Hey girls!" She said as she slipped into a seat between Renee and Chloe.
"Hey Lily! You look so, so...what's the word, Chloe?" said Renee, scrunching up her nose in concentration.
"What word, Renee?" she asked, looking very tired.
"You know, that shiny word!" she said, twisting a stray piece of hair around her finger.
"Radiant?" Said Chloe, looking very bored.
"Sure! That'll do! You look so radiant this morning Lily, are you using a new face-wash?" she asked, picking up a grape and popping it into her mouth.
"Uh, no Renee. I'm just really happy I guess!" said Lily, picking up an apple and munching on it, staring into space and grinning like crazy.
"Morning, Lily!" came a suave male voice from behind her. She felt a strong hand on the small of her back and she shuddered at the warm touch.
She spun around and looking into the eyes of James. "Morning, James!" she said, shuffling over to make room for him between herself and Renee.
"How did you sleep?" he asked, grinning at her like a Cheshire cat.
"Wonderfully!" she said, staring at him and smiling.
Renee elbowed Amanda who was sitting next to her and whispered to her in a confused tone.
"Did I miss something there?" she asked, looking pointedly at James and Lily who were staring into each other's eyes and smiling widely.
Amanda rolled her eyes, "Do you ever GET anything?" she scoffed, but looking at her friends interestedly nonetheless.
Lily looked into James eyes and didn't shudder at the emotions she saw there. His eyes showed plain and unconditional love for Lily, and only Lily, and she couldn't help but smile.
James loved Lily's eyes, they were so green and electric; the colour was almost unnatural, but beautiful all the same.
"Top of the morning peoples!" called Sirius as he neared the table, bringing both James and Lily out of their reverie.
He pushed Lily and James apart by their shoulders and squished himself in between them; completely unaware of the moment he had interrupted.
"Morning Sirius." James said through gritted teeth, giving the boy his patented death glare that he usually only used on Snape.
Sirius was oblivious to James' glare as he helped himself to four poptarts and a peach and put them on the plate nearest him. For someone who was mourning the injury of his prized banjo, he was awfully cheery.
"I'm going to go get ready for class, I'll see you round everyone!" Said Lily, giving James a pained expression.
"Yeah, I need to get some last minute homework in before class! I'll see you all in class!" Said James, running off to join Lily as she strolled out the door.
"Hey Lils, Can I have a word?" asked James, running his hand through his hair and following her out the door.
"Sure!" answered Lily, leaning back against the wall.
"Well, I was just wondering, about well... well..." James stuttered, looking awkward.
"What is it James, you know you can talk to me about anything!" said Lily, stroking James' messy hair.
"Iwannatalkaboutus!" he said as quickly as possible.
"Sorry?" laughed Lily. "Did you just say that you 'want to talk about us'?" she smiled at the blushing black-haired boy in front of her.
"Uh, yeah." Mumbled James, suddenly becoming very interested in his feet.
"Oh James, don't be embarrassed, I want to talk about us too but now is not the time," said Lily, and James' face fell.
"Oh James, I don't mean that I don't want there to be an 'us' now, or anything like that! I just mean we have to get to class, how about we have a little picnic for dinner (A/n: bringing the picnic total up to THREE) and then we can really get to know each other again, and really talk about 'us'?" she smiled at James, who was beaming.
"Sure thing babe! I'll see you later!" he said, kissing her on the cheek then skipping off.
Lily shook her head in wonder and then walked off towards the Gryffindor Tower.
*****************************************************************
Sirius walked into the great hall looking very troubled and confused, and to everyone's amazement he also looked very deep in thought. He walked in and sat down opposite James and Lily, mumbling to himself about something or other.
James looked at Lily and raised an eyebrow, she rolled her eyes and shrugged so he though he'd question the strange boy himself.
"Sirius mate, are you okay?" he asked cautiously.
"Uh, what?" he said, looking up and shaking his head. "Oh, yeah James! Hey can I ask you something mate?" he said, still looking very puzzled.
"Sure mate, anything!" said James, looking at Sirius incredulously.
"Well James, Are you gay?" asked Sirius.
Lily's eyes went wide and she almost choked on the food in her mouth. Renee who was sitting next to Sirius spat out her pumpkin juice and sprayed it all over Sirius, the food in front of them and Chloe, who was staring at Sirius and didn't even notice the orange liquid dripping down her face.
"SIRIUS? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALING ABOUT?" spat James, standing up. Lily put her hand on his arm and guided him back down.
"I was just wondering," said Sirius, looking very muddled, "Let me explain, I fell asleep in class just now and I had the strangest dream."
"What has that got to do with me?" snapped James, looking very defensive.
"Well, in my dream there were two boys sitting on a checked blanket out by the lake. One of them looked remarkably like you James, same hair, same cocky air about him, except he had these really amazing green eyes!" he said, absentmindedly looking over at Lily. "And the other boy had amazing white-blonde hair, he actually looked a lot like Malfoy!" he said, shuddering along with his friends at the thought of Lucius Malfoy who was a seventh year in Slytherin. "And the black-haired boy was holding the blonde boy's hand and saying "You don't know how long I've waited for this, I love you so much." and then they kissed. But as their lips touched, a red-haired boy came flying in and he kicked the blonde-haired boy in the head Kung-fu style sending him flying. Then Remus woke me up because it was the end of class." Sirius shook his head.
Lily sighed, "Oh Sirius, don't worry about it, none of your dreams are terribly coherent, so don't try and make sense of it!" she smiled encouragingly at the still worried boy sitting across from her.
"Yeah, I guess you're right Lily! But it just seemed so real, it was sort of creepy!" said Sirius, chewing on his lip.
"Yeah! Come on guys, lighten up!" Said Renee, standing on her seat, "Why don't we have a sing-a-long?" she asked, jumping up and down making her skirt fly around and her hair jump.
"Sit down Renee!" hissed Amanda as Chloe stood up too.
Chloe and Renee held hands and climbed up onto the table, then they began to dance around and do-se-doe, jumping over the bowls and plates of food and narrowly missing some goblets of pumpkin juice.
"Will you two just get down from there!" laughed Lily, shaking her head. "You will get in trouble, now get down!" she said, now getting serious.
"Fine!" laughed Renee as she jumped over Lily's head and onto the floor. "You're such a spoil sport!" she said, scruffing up Lily's perfect hair.
Chloe stepped down off the table and smiled warmly at Lily. "She doesn't mean that, we love you!" she said, kissing Lily on the head and linking arms with Renee.
"Well, we're off!" said Chloe.
"Yeah! Off to see the, wizard!" said Renee, looking slightly confused at how that had worked.
"Which wizard?" called James, laughing at the girls retreating backs.

James ran his hand through his hair and looked in the mirror one last time. He straightened his shirt, and flashed the mirror his winning smile.
"Very nice dear," the mirror said, sounding bored.
He walked down into the common room and waited for Lily by the fireplace. He looked deep into the flames and imagined her pretty face.
"James?" came a soft feminine voice from behind him. He spun around and saw a breathtakingly beautiful Lily waiting for him.
"Oh Lily!" he exclaimed, running over to her to take her arm, "Shall we?" he said, flashing her a sexy smile.
