Author's note:
I think Sarah will kill me if I don't write this chapter before I go to
camp for a week, so be prepared for a pretty short chapter from me since I
leave for camp 8:30 tomorrow morning! My last chapter had a lot of Renee in
it, (Did u notice?) That was because my little cousin Renee wanted that
character to be in it more, so I do apologize for the Renee saturation!
Anyway, if I don't get this finished I'll either send it to Sarah to finish
off, or you'll all just have to wait a week for this Chapter! If that is
going to be the case I apologize in advance. Okay well, here goes!

Chapter 19- Jade is so dumb (
A/n: Okay, you have had to wait a week for this chapter and it is entirely my fault, no one dare blame Sarah because this has nothing to do with her, I am the terrible horrible person who has denied you the next chapter of this story! I am so bad I didn't even start this before I went to camp! But enough complaining because HERE IT IS!!!
Chapter 19 (Take 2)- Jade is so dumb! (Sarah Note: Lmao, Jade you're so cute.)
James held Lily close to him and kissed her, savouring every moment that their lips were in contact. Lily pulled away just before James made the decision to deepen their kiss. He smiled at her, hiding his disappointment.
"Oh James!" she whispered, "We're in the kitchen!" she sighed, not realising that she was stating the obvious.
James laughed at her dreamy expression, "I'm well aware of that!" he laughed, and Lily looked at him confused.
"Oh, You know what I mean James." She laughed, taking his apple goo encrusted hand in her own.
"Eww!" she squealed, removing her hand immediately. "You silly monkey you're covered in apple! Why don't you go and take a shower then meet me back at Gryffindor tower?" she laughed, grabbing a bottle of mineral water and walking out the door.
"MONKEY?" asked James incredulously, "Who are you calling a Monkey?" he gently pushed her against the door and ruffled her hair.
"ARGH! What are you doing James?" she squealed, shaking up the bottle of mineral water and aiming the opened top at James.
James let out a very undignified and un-James like squeal as he was showered with mineral water.
"What did you do that for?" he asked, staring at Lily like she was crazy.
She shrugged, "I had the sudden urge to spray you with mineral water!" she laughed, falling to the floor in hysterics at the sight of the mineral water soaked James.
"Well I'm glad you think it's funny!" he said, running his hand through his hair and grimacing.
"It's going to take me forever to wash all of this out of my hair and get it looking good again." He said really solemnly before his face lit up as an idea hit him and he flashed Lily his Cheshire cat grin.
He began to walk away from the kitchens, up the hallway that led to the prefects' bathroom. Lily looked confused but she dutifully followed.
As they reached the door of the prefects' bathroom Lily put her hand in front of James and stopped him.
"What are you doing James? We aren't prefects, we can't go in there!" She whispered conspiratorially.
"Periwinkle!" he whispered, grinning at her and the door swung open.
"Daniel Weasley gave me the password, he said I could use it whenever I want as long as I don't get caught." He said, creeping into the elegant bathroom and gesturing for Lily to follow.
She walked in and shut the door quietly, hoping that they wouldn't get caught in a place they shouldn't be. Especially after curfew.
"You want to join me and help me wash this gunk out of my hair?" he asked casually, gesturing at his goo encrusted, mineral water soaked hair.
"I dunno James," she said, looking at her feet and blushing at the idea of bathing naked with James.
"You're adorably beautiful when you blush like that Lily." Said James, running his and softly across her reddened cheek. "You can transfigure your underwear into bathers." He said sympathetically, mentally slapping himself for wishing she would bath with him naked.
"Oh yeah! Of course!" said Lily, realising how stupid she'd been. She faced the wall and stripped down to her underwear, only vaguely aware of James' eyes on her half naked back.
She transfigured her underwear in a skimpy bikini and spun around, just seeing James climb into the bath completely naked.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sirius walked into the Gryffindor tower. He'd been for a walk to the Shrieking shack in hope of finding James there but was unsuccessful. He was still a little stunned at Lily's reaction earlier and he hoped that she'd found him.
He looked around the common room and realised that the only other occupants were two girls huddled together in the far corner, he moved towards the fire before he did a double take towards the girls. It was Renee and Amanda. Renee had her arms around Amanda who was crying violently.
"What's wrong Mandy?" he called, running across the room to the small chair the girls were seated on.
Renee looked up at him and shrugged, and Amanda's head soon followed Renee's.
"Siri?" she choked, looking up at the boy standing beside her, her face was red and tear stained and Sirius secretly thought she looked vulnerably beautiful.
"Yes, it's me! I'm here Mandy, what's wrong?" he asked as he picked her up in his arms and pulled her into his lap on a larger couch. Renee gave him an appreciative smile and stretched her legs.
Amanda curled up against Sirius and snuggled into his body. Sirius sighed and stroked her beautiful hair. His heart breaking from the pain he could see in her eyes and feel in her shuddering sobs.
"What's wrong Mandy? What happened?" he asked calmly, rubbing his warm hand down her back.
She looked up at him with her sad blue eyes and sniffed. She stuffed a crumpled piece of paper into his chest before collapsing in another fit of tears.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"JAMES!?" cried Lily, looking scandalized, "I though you said we'd be wearing bathers?" she stared at his naked chest as he immersed the bottom half of his body into the sweet smelling water.
He smiled wickedly and Lily's heart melted. It was that smile that made Lily sure that she loved James Potter, even when he was at his most evil.
"I said YOU could be in your bathers, I never said anything about me!" he said, smirking at her sexily. 'Now are you getting in or do I have to get out and drag you in?" he asked, starting to stand.
"EW! No! Stay down James, I can get in myself!" she said, shielding her innocent eyes and walked towards the large tub gingerly.
James took her hands and led her into the bath, even though her eyes were wide open now. She smiled sweetly at him as she eased herself into the pleasant water.
"Is the temperature alright for you?" he asked, as he swept a piece of hair away from her face.
"Perfect." she whispered, feeling seduced by his touch.
He leant forward and kissed her, chastely at first but then as they got used to the feeling he deepened the kiss, his warm tongue whisking over her perfect lips.
She opened her mouth and allowed his tongue entrance, sighing at the sheer beauty of the moment and trying to forget the fact that she was kissing a naked boy.
As they kiss got more passionate and heated, Lily struggled to keep her head. She was getting lost in the misty aromas coming off in the steam that rose from the bath, and the passionate urgency of their ever-deepening kiss.
Finally, she found the strength to pull back from the kiss, slowly opening her eyes and licking the taste of James off her lips and savouring it.
She stared into James' eyes as he too opened them, and smiled at the blissful ecstasy that he was quite obviously feeling.
"I love you." he said quietly, leaning in to kiss her cheek carefully.
"I love you too." she whispered into his ear, making him shiver.
They both could honestly admit that they had never experienced a moment so beautiful in their trivial, innocent lives.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sirius continued to stroke Amanda's back while he awkwardly unscrewed the piece of parchment that she had thrust at his chest. He finally got it flat and he scanned through it taking in the words.
'Dearest Amanda,
It's pains me a great deal to write this to you, but I know it would hurt you a lot more not to know. Last week, your Cousin Sebastian who has been living in Hawaii passed away. There were some suspicious circumstances regarding his death, so much to my dismay your Uncle Anton asked for an autopsy. The findings of the autopsy came back, and I thought it would be best if you knew the conditions around your dear cousin's death.
As you know, Sebastian had quite the fondness for pineapples, and during the great pineapple festival in Hawaii, he ate around 50 pineapples along with other pineapple-flavored things. He stomach could not handle the acidity of all the pineapples, and after hours of terrible pain, his stomach exploded and he was killed.
I'm sorry to have to break this news to you, as I know you were very close to Sebastian. There will be a short service in Hawaii next week but I do not know if you can come home from school to attend it. I will send this letter through your mother as I do not know your address at school. I do hope that you will be able to organise something so that you can be here to honour Sebastian's life.
Your Loving Aunt Margaret xxx'
"Oh Amanda!" Sirius cried, bundling the girl up in his arms more tightly. "I'm so sorry."
Amanda sobbed pathetically and sniffed then looked up into Sirius' eyes.
"You really care about me don't you Sirius?" she sobbed, wiping away each tear feebly as they streamed down her face. "I really loved him you know, he was my favorite cousin!" she sobbed, gripping the front of Sirius' shirt desperately.
"I know Mandy, I know that it hurts. Are you going to go to the service?" he asked calmly, stroking her hair.
"I don't know. Mum sent me another letter saying that she would write to Dumbledore and ask for a leave of absence for me. But only if I want to go, and I'm not sure that I could cope." she whispered, looking positively exhausted.
"Well why don't you come with me up to the boys dormitory, I have some chocolate that will make you feel better and then I'll take you to your bed and you can get some sleep. You'll feel much better in the morning. Try not to think about it okay?" he said, smiling at the vulnerable girl in his arms.
"Okay, thank you so much Sirius, you are so sweet." She said, and she reached up and kissed him lightly on the lips.
He beamed at her lovely gesture and helped her up the stairs into the boys' dormitory where he sat her down on his bed.
"Here, have some chocolate," he said as he handed her some of Honeydukes' best chocolate.
"Thanks." She whimpered, biting into it and instantly feeling much better. "You were right, chocolate is the best!" she sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Come on James, we better do what we came here to do before we get caught," sighed Lily as she positioned herself behind James.
"Well we WERE just doing what I came here to do!" laughed James, reaching behind him and stroking Lily's leg.
"JAMES!" laughed Lily, looking playfully appalled and slapping James' bare shoulder. "What about your precious hair? If you want we could focus more on what we were doing and leave your hair in the state it is in now..." she said, running her hands through it seductively.
James shuddered involuntarily and shook his head. "As much as I would love that my Lily-Flower, my reputation is at stake and I wouldn't want to leave this bathroom without returning my hair to it's rightful former glory!" he grabbed a bottle of shampoo from the side of the tub and squeezed and lavish amount into Lily's outstretched palm.
She rubbed her hands together and began to smooth the sticky, sweet smelling goo into James' hair and scrubbed it slowly and methodically.
"Damn Lily! I should get you to wash my hair everyday, you have amazing hands!" he moaned, causing Lily to blush as she saw a mixed meaning to his compliment.
"But then it wouldn't be special now would it?" she cooed as she began to rub and stroke his hair with a bit more vigour.
"Oh, I don't see how this could ever stop being special." he groaned, closing his eyes and enjoying the moment.
Lily laughed inwardly as she saw the bliss in his face, she began to smile wickedly and without warning she dunked his head down under the warm water to rinse off the suds.
As she released the pressure on his shoulders after a few seconds and he came up to the surface spluttering.
"What was that for?" he asked, puffing and looking at Lily with a very hurt look in his eyes.
"I was just rinsing your hair," she said simply, smiling at her beautiful James.
"Yeah well, you're lucky I love you!" he grunted as he turned back around and handed Lily the conditioner.
Lily smiled as she filled her hand with the special treatment conditioner that James had handed her, she rubbed it slowly through his coarse hair and brushed her fingers through the knots.
"Who'd have thought he uses all this on his hair, and then he just messes it up?" she thought to herself as she ran her hands through his amazing hair.
"You have great hands Lily," repeated James, taking one of her hands away from his head and stroking it in his own rough hand. "They're so soft, yet so strong and talented," he continued in his silky suave voice. He lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it softly.
"I want to ask you something Lily," he said, as he let go of her hand and she continued to smooth his hair.
"Anything." Lily replied softly, holding her breath slightly.
"Lily, we've been really close for a while now, and I've been wanting to talk to you about us for a while, but this has just taken too long for me so I'm going to talk to you straight. Lily Evans, will you be my girlfriend?" asked James quietly, turning around to look deep into Lily's green eyes.
"Oh James! That was so sweet! Of course I will! I would love to be your girlfriend!" She sighed, moving in closer to James to kiss him lightly.
He on the other hand had other ideas; he pulled her in closer to his naked body and kissed her deeply, letting his tongue slip deeply into her mouth as she gasped in surprise. She finally gave into him and pulled herself closer, wrapping her legs around his torso and returning his deep kiss.
After a few minutes of deepening passionate kissing, Lily pulled away once again and got her breath back.
"Come on James, let's get out of this bath." she whispered, standing up and taking a towel off the nearest rack.
James grinned wickedly and climbed out after her, taking a few minutes to reach the towel and wrap it around himself.
Lily just blushed and looked away, pretending not to notice the effect that their kisses had had on James.
She grabbed her clothes and took James' hand and they ran, clad in just their towels, back to Gryffindor Tower.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sirius looked down at the beautiful girl resting on his shoulder and leant down towards her, kissing her softly on the corner of her mouth. She looked up at him questioningly.
"You had a spot of chocolate on your mouth," he said innocently, and she laughed. Then Amanda lifted her head and placed a firm kiss on Sirius' mouth, resting her lips there for a few seconds before pulling away.
"You had chocolate on your lips," she giggled, looking deep into Sirius' eyes.
"I hadn't eaten any chocolate Mandy!" he laughed, pushing her down and pressing his lips onto hers.
