Chapter 19

Tom's Past

Hey ya'll! Well, I know how much you desperately want to get some more of my delicious story! Lol, j/j Yeah, but so anyways, I have nothing mind for this chapter so bare with me.

James sighed as he fiddled with the tassels on Lilly's covers and began to tell his story. When he finished he looked up at Lilly and into her eyes expectantly.

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "That's the most pitiful excuse I've ever heard come from your mouth James Potter." James looked down at the floor.

"Lucky for you I'll take it." He looked up and smiled.

"Thanks Lil." He said hugging her tightly. Lilly mentally kicked her self as her body molded into his muscular arms.

"Anyways," He said letting her go a little it too quickly for her liking, "We should probably go now, I think the others will think I'm doing naughty things to you, and that won't do now will it. Your boyfriend certainly wouldn't appreciate it." He lightly pushed her chin up and then ruffled her hair.

Lilly looked at him confused. "Did you just ruffle my hair?" James grinned.

"Naturally," He then walked out of the room and slide down the stairs.

Lilly listened for his cheers from down stairs and leaned against her doorframe. Something was changing in him; he was now treating her as if she was just a little sister. She scowled at the idea and then sat down to do her homework.

A couple hours later Nyla came up the stairs chuckling lightly to herself and looked over towards Lilly's bed where her friend was fast asleep on all of her books.

She walked over and removed all of the pesky items before shoving her friend into the middle of her bed and throwing a duvet over her.

She then admired her friend. "She'd always been rather jealous of her friend. Now do not get her wrong, Nyla had, had her fair share of gorgeous lads, but Lilly always got the best one's and then the fact that she was able to control herself and not be interested, that always fascinated Nyla as well.

She tucked a curl behind her ear and sighed. Walking over to her bed, she quickly climbed into the pre-heated covers and fell straight to sleep.

A couple hours later, there was a rap at the window and Lilly woke with a start. She thrashed her head towards the window and peered out with blurry eyes.

She gasped as she noticed the familiar form of a boy on a broom. She jumped from her warm bed and padded across the cold wooden floor over to the window and flinging it open

"Tom?" She asked confused. He gave her a goofy grin and then patted the back of his room.

"Fancy a midnight fly?" He asked seductively. Lilly looked back at all of the other girls to see if any had woken up from the noise, to her relief all of the silly girls were still fast asleep and drooling all over their pillows.

She looked at Tom and smiled. "I'm quiet the mess Tom, you know it's not proper to wake a girl from her beauty sleep."

"Now Miss Lilly, you've gotten so much beauty already from your sleep, don't be a cow, be a good girl and share." Lilly blushed and smacked his arm.

"I'll take that as half a compliment." She said softly, while climbing on the back of his broom.

He grinned. "Good girl, you should." He quietly shut her windows and then zoomed off into the darkening night.

"So, what is the meaning of this ride?" Lilly asked softly from behind him. Tom smiled as he felt her nuzzle her head into his back.

Lilly had, had a fear of heights ever since Petunia had threatened to drop her off their banister when she was five years old.

Tom slowly descended until they were in the centre of the Quidditch pitch. Lilly opened her eyes and looked around.

"What in Merlin's name are we doing here?" She asked confused. Tom took her hand and led her over to a blanket he had laid out.

The two teens lay down and looked up at the stars. "When I was younger, this was my favorite thing to do. I never knew my mum, but I did have someone who knew her very well and she took care of me for a while. She used to bring me outside on clear nights like these and we would lie under the stars and look up at them. She used to tell me that my mother was up there watching over me, that she was one of the stars, she was the shiniest one when ever I did something well, my shinning star I used to say." Tom chuckled at this.

"I then tried to do my best, everyday I was the best little boy you could imagine. Until auntie May died that is, she was the woman watching me. An Auror killed her because they found out she was a microdisas, the worst part is it was Potter's mother." Lilly gasped.

"I know, so when that happened things started going down the toiled for me. I was put into a muggle orphanage after that, no one wanted me either. They said there was something about me, something different, I wasn't like normal children." Tom scoffed at this. "Of course I wasn't, I wasn't a normal child and I'm not a normal teen. It was awful I even ki…" Tom immediately stopped, and looked at Lilly.

She watched him expectantly, "So yeah, ever since my Auntie May died things have been pretty messed up. I have been in that same orphanage ever since I was seven years old. No one has ever wanted me."

Lilly raised her head and rested on her elbow. "No one until now." She whispered. Tom smiled up at her lovingly and she kissed him softly.

About two hours later, Lilly slipped back into bed and went over all of the things that had been discussed. She began to wonder about what Tom had been trying to say earlier, he had just stopped so suddenly. However, she did not get very far down the path of thinking for she quickly fell back into a light slumber.

Hey guys! That is all I have for you right now I am afraid, but I am very shocked with myself right now! I cannot believe I thought that thing up about Tom's Auntie though; I did not even have that in mind when I wrote chapter... 17 I believe it is, wow, well yeah, that sure complicates things! Wow, well yeah, R&R plzum and tell me what ya thinks!
