Night time Surprises

Lily glanced at her watch and then across the room to where James' face was squished against the window pain, glasses askew on his nose, and a puddle of drool forming just below his mouth.

Lily giggled and walked over to her friend, poking him in the shoulder. James shot up so swiftly that lily screamed in alarm.

"Oh my gosh Jamie, you scared the pixie dust out of me!" James looked up at her, wiping at his chin and grinning cheekily.

"Sorry Lil's, but now you've learned your lesson; you should never wake a man from his sleep."

"I see, well James, I'm sorry to inform you but we have Heads duty to attend to, the late night ones that Dumbledore has assigned us." James nodded, stretched and stood up.

"Let's go then." The two walked from the common room and began to roam the hallways.

"So, how are things going with you and Tom?" Lily flinched at his tone of voice and looked down at her half bitten nails.

"Things are going great," She said firmly, "So, have you and Sissy sorted out your problems?" James snorted and flicked some dark hair from his eyes.

"You mean the fact that I hate her? No, and I don't intend on sorting it out. If she can't deal with the fact that my best friend other than Sirius happens to be female; then screw her."

Lily scrunched up her nose and flicked James' ear. "Even though I love the fact that you're sticking up for me Jamie, you really should try to do it in a nicer way!"

James shrugged and they continued to roam the hallways.

"James, you go down to that hallway and see if anybody is there, I'll go down over there, and then we'll meet back here, alright?" James nodded and walked casually over to the hallway Lily had mentioned. He rounded the corner and almost gagged.

There was a couple leaning against a wall that looked almost as if they would eat each others faces. He recognized the girl immediately as a Spanish girl, who was in Slytherin, Lorain was what he thought her name was that or Lorena.

She was an absolute slut, she'd offered herself to James two years ago, but James had better things to do then to sleep with her. Admittedly, she was gorgeous, but the truth was, James was waiting until he was married to give away his virginity.

James coughed and the two separated themselves hurriedly; and until that moment, James hadn't recognized the man Lorena had entangled herself with, but now the boys' face was in full view.

James' rage boiled and he stepped forward. "You absolute prick!" He hissed, "You're supposed to be dating Lily!" Tom whipped at his mouth and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, sneering.

"What she doesn't know won't hurt her, besides this was just once, Lorena is a slut and will give me anything, a guy needs a little sexual pleasure sometimes and I'm sure even you know that Lily won't give anybody any of hers."

James' fingers twitched and he lunged forwards, wrapping his fingers around Tom's neck.

"You dirty rotter!" James screeched, "You absolute git!" Lorena screamed and threw herself against the school walls in order to avoid their heated brawl.

Lily came bounding around the corner and gasped as she saw James lying on top of Tom, pummeling his face. "James!" She shouted, running forwards and tugging on his arm.

James stood up reluctantly and stared down at the bruised mess he'd left on the ground. Lily bent down and began to examine her boyfriend's face.

"My gosh Tom, are you alright?" Tom nodded, wincing slightly and sat up.

"I'm fine Lily; my face just aches a little bit." Tom looked up and gave James a sour look before standing on his two feet.

"What is going on you two? James why were you abusing my boyfriend?"

"Your boyfriend was snogging that slut against the wall." James said angrily and thrusting his finger towards Lorena who was now smoothing down her skirt and adjusting her hair.

"I can assure you I am no slut; I've only ever slept with Tom." Lily's eyes snapped and she turned her head towards her boyfriend.

"You've slept with her!" Tom rolled his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair.

"Only once, and it was before we were dating."

"Well the dating part didn't seem to stop you from snogging her." James snapped. Tom flicked him off and turned to lily.

"Don't listen to James, he's an idiot and he doesn't know what he's talking about."

"What's your problem Tom?" Lorena asked, slapping his face. "We've slept together more than once! Did last night mean NOTHING to you!" Tom tugged at his hair and rolled his eyes again.

"What are you talking about Lorena? We haven't had sex more than once!" This time Tom really was telling the truth. He'd only slept with her once, but he knew she was trying to break him and Lily up.

"Lorena, go to bed!" the Spanish girl, looked around and snorted angrily as she realized no one was going to help her out. She turned on her heel and stormed away, making sure to swing her hips extra well.

"Look, Lily, I'm kind of tired, would we be able to talk about this later?"

Lily nodded stiffly and chewed on her bottom lip thoughtfully. "What time tomorrow would you like to talk?"

Tom shook his head and scratched his neck, "how about the day after tomorrow? I'm afraid I've got some business with Dumbledore tomorrow."

"Fine." Said Lily shortly, she then grabbed James' arm and pulled them back to their common room.

"I'm going to bed, I'm exhausted." She mumbled as she neared the stairs. James nodded and watched her walk silently into her bedroom before retiring to his own.

&&&&

The next morning James whipped at his mouth and yawned. He sat up, stretched and looked towards the bed of his best friend. Sirius snored loudly and rolled onto his stomach, face shoved into his fluffy pillow.

James chuckled lightly and walked towards the loo for a shower. He turned on the water and let it run until it was scalding. A scalding shower always woke him up well in the morning.

He stepped into the shower once removing his clothes and listened to the stirring of his friends in the next room. He sighed as he remembered last night and scrubbed at his shampooed head.

After finishing his shower, James stepped from it, dried himself and dressed in clean clothing. He walked into his room and prepared for classes that day.

He nodded to his friends and then headed down to breakfast. He stacked his books on the table and began to pull food onto his plate and then shovel it into his mouth.

He looked up as he heard someone sit across from him and his brown eyes met a beautiful pair of emerald green. James swallowed his mouth full and smiled sheepishly. "Hey Lil's he said softly." Lily nodded her head in acknowledgement and began to nibble on an apple.

James put down his knife and fork and stared at his friend. "I'm really sorry about last night; maybe I over reacted, but it really looked like Tom was cheating on you and it made me mad that he would even think of hurting you."

Lily sighed and set down her apple. "Its fine James, I'm just thinking about nonsense and things. No need to worry, I forgive you." James nodded and began to slowly eat again.

"And what-what about Tom?" Lily took a bit of a pancake and shrugged.

"What about him?"

"Have you forgiven him?" Lily chewed on her food thoughtfully and then nodded.

"Yes, I know my Tom. He's bound to make mistakes, but if he admits to his mistakes, says he was wrong and doesn't do it again then its fine. I'll take it as a learning experience."

James frowned and looked down into his porridge. "Anyways," said Lily swiftly, "You'd better be finishing your food, the day will begin soon." James nodded stiffly and finished the rest of his food before standing up and waiting for Lily to finish her.

Lily finished shortly after him, and then they headed to class.

After classes had finished, James went to the common room whilst Lily went to the library saying she had promised to help Peter Pettigrew with some simple incantations for transfigurations.

When Lily reached her destination, she looked around and found Peter towards the farthest end of the library.

"Hello Peter, what are you doing all the way back here?" She asked curiously. Peter jumped in his seat and looked up timidly.

"Oh, Lily, I didn't realize it was you." He squeaked softly. Lily smiled softly at the timid boy and took her seat across from him.

"So tell me Peter, which incantations are you finding most difficult to perform?" Peter blushed, looked down and scratched the top of his hair.

"Well, honestly Lillian, I'm not really brilliant on any of them, not like you anyways." Lily blushed at his complement and patted his arm.

"That's ok Peter, spells can be difficult sometimes, don't you worry though; I'll help you."

Peter thanked her softly and they began the long task of practicing spells.

After a couple of hours or so, Peter finally cried out that he was tired and needed some time to register what she was teaching him. Lily sighed and agreed. The two packed up their stuff and walked back to the common room.

"Just in time!" Sirius called cheerily and pulling Peter to him by the crook of his neck. "What say you to another adventure Pete ole' boy?" Peter grinned shyly and nodded his head in agreement.

"Sounds great," Lily shook her head in disappointment and sat beside Nyla.

"They've not dragged you into this have they?" She asked nervously. Nyla beamed and James laughed, patting his blond friend on the back.

"Nyla actually brought up the idea, came up with the most brilliant prank I've ever heard!" Lily sighed and rubbed her temples.

"Why would you do that Ny you silly pigeon?" The group of boys raised their eyebrows and Lily sighed.

"You're going to try and drag me into this now aren't you?" James beamed and nodded his head.

"Well actually, we're not going to try, we're going to do so!"

Lily groaned and shook her head, "Absolutely not! I am head girl and there is no way I will help you!"

…..

"I can't believe I'm helping you!" Lily moaned into her wooly jumper sleeve. "I don't even know what your stupid idea is Nyla and I agreed. You being my best friend I just know it's going to be horrible!"

Nyla rolled her eyes and gave her friend a sour look, "Yeah thanks Lil's."

Sirius stopped them and turned around to Peter "Oy, you stay here right and keep guard, okay?" Peter frowned down at the ground and nodded.

"Right," He mumbled in dismay. Sirius didn't seem to notice and motioned for everyone else to follow him.

The five teens moved swiftly around corners as James checked the map every now and then and nodded the go ahead. James suddenly smirked and whispered something to Sirius who in turned grinned Lily and nodded.

"Change of plans," Sirius whispered, "Follow James." The group raised their eyebrows but nodded and followed James around another corner where he stopped and motioned for everyone to be silent and listen.

Lily listened to the sound that James was pointing out and frowned as she seemed to recognize the voices, though she couldn't put her fingers on whom they belonged to.

The group continued to listen and Lily realized that she needed to strain her ears in order to hear what the people were saying fully.

"So, I thought you said that you were going to try and bed her?" She heard someone sneer.

"I am going to, why don't you try being patient and sod off my back. Things like these take time."

"Right, so when is our next death eater meeting? We need to start practicing the Rectrumplyus spell My Lord." Lily and the group gasped lightly as they heard the spells name, which was one of the worst spells possible; Just aside from Crucius and Avada Kedevra.

"We'll practice that incantation as soon as I think you are finished learning the crusius!"

Lily couldn't take it anymore; she had to see who was talking. Lily leaned just barely around the corner at the faces of two young men and almost shrieked at whom she saw.

Lucius Malfoy…and Tom.
