Chapter 21

Sorry seems to be

Hey guys, once again, thank you to all of my faithful reviewers! Thank you to Megan, an anonymous reviewer! ;), for my latest review, it was fantastic. In addition, thank you to Holy Cross Baby for pointing out the mistake I knew was there but could not seem to find, thanx! Thank you again to Alteng in advance for the review I'm sure will come because she is still my most faithful reviewer, but of course I am not over looking anybody else's reviews, they're all fantastic and make me feel great!

Lily and James walked back into the common room laughing, they had, had the greatest time on the way back to the castle. James had hexed Crabbe, Goyle, Snape, Tom and Lucius all in the space of the ride with bat bogies. Lily knew it was not very nice, but it was hilarious!

James was the first to calm down, amazingly, so he watched in mirth as his best female friend continued laughing, joy etched all over her face and little tiny giggles flowing from her beautiful lips.

His stomach fluttered at the thought of kissing them again, they were so perfect, just like her. She finally stopped laughing and looked at him. "So Jamie, what next? What are you going to do next to give me side splitting laughs?"

James grinned and shrugged. "Admittedly, I've got nothing." Lily gasped in mock horror.

"Oh my goodness, the all time prankster, James T. Potter has nothing, no prank, no ideas, nothing. That is absolutely horrid!" Lily mocked. James stuck out his tongue and looked at the clock. He then looked at the board where the days left of school were being counted down and frowned.

"This school year has gone by so fast Lil's." He commented sadly, "Soon we're going to be graduates and who knows what road we'll be going down."

Lily nodded in remorse and smiled, "This year has been so drama filled. It's like those muggle American schools," She giggled, "Who'd have thought that I'd be dating a Slytherin, friends with the boy I'd always hated, and my best friend would be pregnant with your best friends daughter."

At that moment, Nyla walked into the room with the other three boys, one of them holding her hand. She grinned at her friends and then walked up to the boys' room with Sirius.

"They wanted to be alone to 'talk.'" Said Remus teasingly. The others laughed quietly to themselves and nodded, understanding completely what was going to go on.

Lily looked over and at Peter, and she herself frowned. He had been so twitchy lately, very shifty eyes as well. She looked at his hands, which were placed awkwardly in his lap and seemed to be shaking slightly.

Her eyes met with his and she smiled reassuringly. Peter twitched and looked back at the ground, his mousy brown hair falling into his chubby face. She had also noticed that he had gained wait, of course he had always been heavy set, since the moment she saw him, but over the course of the year, he had gotten even fatter.

She looked over at Remus and smiled, he was so cute, but not in the way that she had thought since she was a child. He was now only baby cute, possibly even handsome, but his cheeks seemed slightly sunken in and he looked less free spirited and carefree.

She missed that about him, but perhaps his interests were changing, perhaps he was growing up. She looked down at her short, teeth torn nails and thought of Tom. She wanted to be with him right now, she wanted to be in his arms, under the sky, talking, just talking.

She loved thinking about the night that he told her his secrets, she felt like he had told her everything, everything that he had hidden from all others and what was living in his soul.

She stood up and told the others she was going for a walk. Before she could hear their replies, she left through the portrait hole and walked slowly down the marble staircase. It was the perfect night for a sit by the lake, the only things to finish the nigh perfectly would be if she had Ja-Tom with her.

She coughed nervously to herself and sat down in the lightly dew sprinkled grass. She looked out over the Crystal Lake and starred at her wary reflection in the water.

Her pools of green were reflecting majestically out of the blue serene sanctuary in front of her. She glanced back up and noticed a dark figure on the other side of the lake, the figures head moved and then it stood.

She watched with baited breath as the shadow slowly walked over to her side and its face was reveled in the crystal light of the water.

"Tom?" she whispered. Tom came and sat by her side, sighing sadly. He licked his lips and looked back out over the lake.

"I'm sorry," He finally said, "I'm sorry that I got mad at you before you could even explain to me. I've been thinking about it all day and I was angry for all the wrong reasons, I should have thought it through, what you said made sense and I'm sorry I wasn't more understanding."

Lily shook her head and began to pick at the grass. "Yeah, well, it's over and done with now so it does not matter." Tom pulled her face towards his and shook his head.

"Stop being stubborn Lillian darling, I know I hurt you and I know that I need to apologize, so here I am apologizing, cut me some slack!" Lily sighed and nodded.

"Let's start over, new and refreshed shall we? " She asked. Tom nodded and kissed her.

"We shall." He whispered.

Hey guys,

I know, I know, short right? I am sorry, I just think of how I want to lead up to what I have planned. I'm also very sorry I haven't updated in so long, but I've been in school and hanging out, and planning on moving to a different country, and I'm also in the process of writing my first novel and its sequel, hopefully it will be published! Look for 'Jennifer' and its sequel 'Her Daughter' yall!
