Chapter 13 - more surprises I'm afraid
(This is james and lily as harry and hermione)
James groaned, on the verge of pulling out his hair as he left the library. He was getting quite aggravated, he had been looking
everywhere for her. He had to admit he was worried. Sighing he sat on the steps, he prayed he wasn't this much of a git
when they were older. Frankly he couldn't picture is adult self searching the streets for a grown Lily. "God, where are you"
he yelled to the open field. Jumping up he snapped his fingers, the quidditch pitch, he never checked there. She had to be there
he hoped he was right. Making his way around the stands , relief engulfed his body. There she set with her arms wrapped
around her knees. She looked so lonely up there , he couldn't help but feel guilty. James quitely stepped up the stands
and slowly inched toward her. "You don't give up do you?" she whispered. Smiling slightly he sat behind her "No, can't say that I do"
"I don't know why your here," she whispered " shrugging he grinned "Neither do I" "Shouldn't you be doing something? I mean
you can't just sit here." Seeing she still hadn't turned around he felt free to smile "Why not?" "It's wasting time" she said
"Well, I have all the time in the world to waste, so I'm good". Both sat in silence for a minute, James had to make things right.
Not knowing what else to say, he put his hand on her shoulder. Feeling her tense up, he let his hand drop. "Don't worry, Lily,"
he whispered softly. "This will all work out" "What are you talking about?" "Everything that has happened this week, between
the fighting and the whole marriage/ baby thing, I guess" his voice dying to a dull whisper. "Hey we fight all the time right, it's all we
seem to do when were together" sighing she hugged her knees tighter "It's alright I suppose James" .This was not what he wanted
at all , for her to cave in and agree, he wanted her to understand. He couldn't quite figure out, why but it was very important that
she believed him. "But this is different, isn't it?" he asked. But this is different, echoed in Lily's mind as she sat there staring
at the sky. She smiled a little maybe it was, they had a break-through earlier. Maybe she did sort of over react.
He was only being his normal self back then, but through all of this things changed between them. They could actually try
a friendship here, hell after all she was going to marry the prat anyway. "James" "Yeah Lils" he said. "Will you take me flying?"
He eyed her suspiciously "Are you serious?" he sounded surprised and it made her laugh. "Yes, I'm serious Potter" she
chuckled. He was in shock, but heck they weren't fighting so he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth "Umm, okay
just let me go get a broom" he jumped the stands two rows at a time, she had to laugh at his eagerness. They may be
on good terms, but there was too many years of anger between them for her to let her guard down now. Yes she would be
weary about this new found friendship till she decided the time was right. "You coming or what?" he asked. Lily looked up
finding james hovering above her. She laughed "Wow that was fast, woah! Is that a firebolt" she gasped.
"Yep, compliments of our son" he smirked. James extended his hand to help her on. As she laughed, she reached for his hand
"Go slow okay, I'm not much for flying" She winced. They rose to the air,causing Lily to cling to him. He flew slow at first
not wanting to scare her. James stopped the broom , they hovered over one of the goals , "Look isn't it beautiful?". Peeking
over his shoulder she gasped as the sun began to set, the sky lingering in a bright pink hue "Oh, James it is magnificent"
she whispered in awe. "You know Lily, I'm glad everything is normal between us" "Me too James me too". The breeze blew
through his hair, causing it to look twice as unruly. She smoothed it with her fingertips and wondered how a guy could be
so beautiful and powerful and exciting as he sat quietly infront of her. "My poor son!" Lily said with a sigh. "HUH" asked James
confused, Lily shrugged "Sorry I just don't think it was very fair to give him your hair" she giggled as his mouth hung open.
Raising his eyebrow, he smirked "And I presume, he would have looked better as a carrot" She punched him as she laughed
the wind blew lightly making her hair brushed across her eyes. James softly brushed back behind her ear, "I miss your green eyes"
he whispered. He was inches from her face and she was about to panic "Oh my look it's dark, we should really head back now"
James nodded "Yeah, your right" . They desended slowly to the ground. Lily hopped down, followed by James "Well shall we go"
James said faning his arm toward the castle. They walked a ways, the silence adding to his embarrasment. He almost kissed
her and she knew he did. She hadn't said anything since they began walking to the castle. He hoped he didn't go and make her
mad again. Hell part of him wanted to go back to hating her again, he atleast knew how to do that. This was all to new for him,
smiling he found himself wondering how he even came to hate her anyway. "Penny for your thoughts" Lily laughed. James
shook his head prefering not to answer the question. "Come on, Potter don't be so serious" pushing him playfully, she side stepped
him. Now walking backwards, she continued to watch him with her brown eyes full of amusement. "Well" she cried impatiently.
Caving in he sighed "Alright, already" he chuckled "I just couldn't seem to remember why we even hated each other to began with.
"Wow, you know I don't remember either,I mean I vaguely remember a train compartment on the first day of Hogwarts, but other
than that nothing" She shrugged "huh! six years of fighting and we can't even remember why". He smiled "Then I guess it was
time to change this realationship" "Come on I'll race you to dinner" James yelled as he took of to the doors. "No fair, Potter"
she screamed as she darted after him. Lily walked in the entrace hall, quitely closing the door behind her. James was nowhere
in sight. He beat her to dining hall causing to giggle. She walked through the entrance hall glancing at the mirror. Everything
seemed so normal- and yet so foreign. Lily studied her reflection, a woman who had spent the night flying with her enemy turned
friend, giving him her trust, a woman who looked terrified and in unfamiliar surroundings. Could she make James happy?
Could she give him what he needed? Could she share her life with him? but most importantly Who was she?
Lily hurried out to the dining hall, her tummy was quite hungry and it had no problem with letting her know. As she made her way
inside James grinned at her and winked "My , how tired you look?" James said to her smirking. "You lost the race, huh?"
Ginny asked with a grin "Harry told us he left you in the dust Mione". Lily turned to glare at him "I've always been faster then you
Less weight to haul, more agile, yada, yada" he beamed. "Ha, Potter I let you win you git" she huffed. "Well were going to get going
now. Got to get to the library" Ginny said, grabbing onto Seamus arm. After the couple left, James pulled out Lily's chair for her
to sit and then sat beside her. He took her hand and held it on the table. Ron sat in front of them to engrossed in his food to
even offer a hello. Lily sat silently in disdain as he shoveled the meat in his mouth "How do people eat like that?" she whispered
curiously to James. "Easy" he said "It takes practice," he answered, diving into his own food. Lily laughed, and she even seemed
to be okay knowing at that moment James Potter had stolen her heart.
Ron noticed them holding hands and smiled "So I guess you guys made up then?" he asked pushing his plate aside. James
shrugged as he continued to eat. "I guess so" Lily blushed. "Great so that means you two will still join me and Luna on the
Hogsmead trip tomorrow" he asked looking relived which surprised her. "Well I umm" she studdered looking at James. He looked at
her and blushed "You want to go to Hogsmead with me?" he asked. She nodded a little to strongly she realized and coughed
"Uh sure, I guess it could be fun" she said trying to play it cool. Looking across at Ron, she smiled "Then I guess we will go"
Feeling pretty embarrssed she stood up quickly "I'm kinda tired, so I guess I'll go on up now, see you two in the morning" and
she bolted before either could respond. "Sheesh, what's up with her, she acts like she's never been on a date with you before"
Ron rolled his eyes and laughed "I always said that one was mental". James stared at Ron as if looking through him, the words
a date kept running through his mind. How on earth was he going to keep from screwing this up. Sure he had been on dates
before, but this was Lily and it had to be special. Suddenly he didn't feel so hungry anymore. He had a date to prepare for and
no clue how to do it. "I think I'm going to hit the sack too mate. See you tomorrow" and he left, Ron shrugged , taking his fork
he began to pick at the rest of James plate. He was beyond trying to figure out his best friends anymore. He had no clue and
that was just find with him for now.
Lily tossed and turned, she couldn't sleep. She was going to Hogsmead with James, and that meant trouble for her. This was the
most craziest week of her life. Oh if Alice could see her now . Surpressing the urge to giggle, she turned over once more and
sighed. She mentally thought of her clothes, trying to figure out what to wear. It had to be nice,but not to desperate. Lily finally
feel asleep a few minutes later,but in the boys dorm room James wasn't so lucky and unfortunatly neither was Ron. "So, what
should I wear again Ron?" James whispered across the beds, carefully trying to not wake Seamus or Neville. "Clothes Harry"
he said with a sigh. "I know that much, well fine then, so should I bring her something then?" Throwing the pillow over his face and
groaning Ron kicked his feet "Harry, mate I guess if you want to, You don't normally. It's just a freakin Hogsmead visit with
Hermione for crying out loud" He rolled his eyes and then rolled over "Goodnight Harry, Just get some sleep okay" he said a
little aggravated. James propped his arms under his head, turning to glare at Ron's bed "Fine night" he said gruffly. Ron was no
help Stupid git he thought. What was he suppose to do, go into the future and ask his adult self what his wife might like. That
seemed highly unlikely. Sighing James pulled the covers up to his shoulders, he was just going to have to wing it he guessed.
The sunlight poured into the room as the curtains were drawn, causing Lily to slightly open one eye. Groaning she threw the
blanket back over her head. In the distance she heard giggles as her roommates mad their way around the room. "Hermione,
get up it's our last trip to Hogwarts this year, tell me your not missing it" Lavender smirked. Hogsmead today, she almost forgot
She was thankful the covers were still over her face to hide the fact that she was blushing like mad. Taking a deep breath she
grinned, " Oh, no I going nothing can make me miss this" she said sitting up. She made her way to the closet, picking up where
she left off in her mind last night, the green shirt with the black skirt, or the red top with the black pants.
James and Ron sat in the common room, with a couple other boys waiting for McGonagall to announce the Hogmeads rules.
He snickered at Ron who was trying hard to stay awake. "Pss" he nudged him causing Ron's eyes to fly open. Glancing at
him he mouthed "You look tired" and smirked. "Maybe cause you kept me up last night" Ron said before yawning. Lily made
her way downstairs spotting James on the couch "I wondered if you'd gotten lost in there". He staightened as she approached
and moved toward her. "Hi". His being so close to her flustered her. "I thought I saw you" That wasn't the most intelligent
comment she'd ever made, but she couldn't think of anything better at the time. They smiled at each other, as McGonagall
read the rules. After they heard the rules and everyone departed for the front grounds Ron smiled "Hey I see Luna, I'll be right back"
Left by themselves, James took the advantage and grabbed her hand. Smiling she laced her fingers with his and they stood
in silence waiting for Ron and Luna.
Hogsmead was wonderful, The four took to the streets. Going from shop to shop, they laughed and chatted. Lily and Luna walked
a head from the boys making their way to a book store. "I'm not going into the book store" Ron groaned. Luna waved him off
"Go on, look in the quidditch shop then" she hollered over her shoulder taking Hermione by the shoulder. "We'll meet you later
for a butterbeer" Lily added before dissapearing into the shop. James was in heaven, as Ron and him wandered around the store.
The brooms in the future were awesome way much better than his time. He whistled eyeing the price tag of the firebolt. He must
make a heck of a load of money, if he could afford it for Harry. His chest swelled with pride knowing he could provide for them.
Before they knew it an hour went by as they roamed around the quidditch supplies. Checking his watch he hollered at Ron
"Ron, hey maybe we should meet the girls now" "Yeah, your right" he said sighing as he took one last lingering look at
the firebolt display. They headed over to the Three Broomsticks, James quickened his pace a little anxious to see Lily.
They finally made their way in, James fought through the crowd trying to spot Lily or Luna. Ron pointed to an empty table,
signaling for him to go save it for them. "I don't think the girls are here yet" he said "Go get that table and I'll get the drinks"
James set down, feeling slightly akward about being alone. He was too use to having Sirius and Remus with him. At least
he was close to the door, he would be able to flag down the girls easier.
Not wanting to look to much like a loser, James began looking around the room. It hadn't changed much since he was here last.
It surprised him how much Hogsmead remained the same. He was glad to know his son at least didn't miss out on the good
stuff. He smiled patting his pocket, which contained his bag from Zonko's joke shop. Ron eyed him funny as he made his way
to the table "Girls, still aint here?" he asked curiously. "I swear Harry, if Mione turns Luna into a library lunatic, I'll never forgive
you" he laughed setting down the four mugs of butterbeer. Both boys gulped the warm beverages, when James eyes opened
wide and he showered Ron in betterbeer, his face paled as he looked on behind Ron's shoulder. Someone would have sworn
he seen a ghost. "Dude, what the bloody hell just happened" Ron asked, his voice shaken fearing the worst as he began to
clean off his face. He looked on in worry as James jumped up ripping off a paper hanging on the wall.
"WHAT IS THIS" he yelled causing surrounding tables to turn and check out the comotion. "Ssh, Lower your voice" Ron spat
James laid the paper across the table Have you seen this wizard, Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban, Could be
dangerous bolted from the paper as the image of an older man screamed as his face turned. James heart sunk, Sirius looked
lost, he looked broken. This couldn't be true, "Ron what is this?" he pleaded "Sirius would never go to Azkaban, who did this"
Ron looked on with sympathetic eyes "Harry, I know it's hard dealing with this, but you know the truth now" James went to
tell him just how much he didn't know but Ron cut him off "This is the last thing you needed to see right now, But not to many
people know what happened that night at the Ministry, so naturally they would still looking for him". Ron sighed, He felt bad
for Harry, he was still grieving over Sirius death. Only Ron had no clue that a man just found out his best friend was in trouble
James sat in shock , what happened to Sirus, where was he now?. James didn't have the answers but Ron did and he was about
to get them, as the door flew open sending people running in screaming. "DEATH EATERS, HERE IN DIAGON ALLEY" she yelled
before collasping. The place went into a panic, as people jumped over others to hide, many began to apperate away. "Death eaters"
James asked Ron in confusion. Now it was Ron's turn to be confused, "Harry death eaters here" Ron cried. A older wizard came
walking through the door "Folks they are gone, Please remain calm, Never did I expect to see them here of all places. Rosy, send
an owl to the minister at once. Let them know they have taken somebody" He walked to the counter shaking his head "Poor girl,
she gave them a bloody good fight, strong believer in our boy who lived though, she was still screaming for Harry Potter when they
vanished. Ron paled as he watched James expression "Harry it may have been Hermione" Ron screamed. James couldn't move
somebody took Lily.
