Chapter 4: Mignight talk
"That was interesting." Said James coming in with the two plates. Lily just blushed. James took a seat next to her and handed her, her plate. Thay sat there in silence eating. When they finished James took his and Lily's plate and called in upon the house elf who happily took it away.
"Bellatrix should have stayed in the hosptial wing, I mean what you did to her face was so, so incredible. Said James looking at Lily. Lily smiles laying back on the pillow.
"Thanks, I learned it from my brother." Said Lily. James looked at her in shock.
"You have a brother, I thought that you only had a sister?" Asked James. Lily nodded and turned her head.
"Oh." Was all that James could say. He didn't know if her brother was dead or alive so, there was nothing else to say but, wait.
"He was killed when,when...?" Said Lily before she exploded in tears. James sat on the edge of the hospital bed and embraced her.
"It's okay." Said James resting his chin on the top of her head, craddiling her small body back and forth rubing her back. Lily murmured something into James shirt that sounded like: "It's all my fault I should have listened."
James cupped her face and brought her eyes to his.
"It isn't your fault." Said James wipping away a fresh tear that was rolling down her cheek.
"Yes, yes it is, you don't even know what happened, how could you possiblt under stand." Said Lily.
"I no what it feels like to lose somebody." Said James. Lily shook her head into his shoulder.
"Yes I do, my older sister died from her obusive boyfriend," Said James. "We found out the next morning that her boyfriend Kyle came back drunk, thinking that Lori was a robber and started beating her to death, when Kyle found out what he has done, he killed hinmself and that was the end of it."
"I'm sorry." Said Lily looking at James. Her tears subsided.
"It's okay, I learned to live with it." Said James.
"When did it happen?" Asked Lily.
"Our forth year," Said James. "Now you know why me or none of the Marauders drink that much, 1 Fire Whiskey is good enough."
"That's the same year as, when he." Lily froze she couldn't finish her sentence. She couldn't tears began fallin down her cheeks again. She felt James looking at her. James looking at her with his concerned eyes. His body tense with knowing. He wanted to know. She new that he loved her more than anything. And she understood that, but she just didn't feel the same way about him. He was now 17 since his birthday was a week ago while she still was 16 needin to go about 3 more weeks. Lily calmed down. She knew what she had to do.
"James? you have to promise not to go frantic, balistic, frustrated, or mad, or whatever. I need you to stay calm, for me. Can you do that?" James nodded he would do anything for Lily. But, he was very nervous about what he was about to hear. He had a sensation that Lily was hurt.
"The girls all know and promised not to tell a soul, and you have to promise that you won't tell anyone not even the Marauders, until i feel comfortable." Said Lily looking at James for support.
"Yea." Said James
"Okay," Lily took in a big gulp of air and swallowed it. "During the summer of our 4th, me and my family went to the United States for Indepence Day because my aunt said that it was something that you wouldn't want to miss. Well when we got off the plane we found my aunt with her boyfriend and the boyfriend's son Andrew. And, um. Well it came out that Andrew had feelings for me. And we were staying at the same house. Well during the night, you know how I like to read late, well he came in and, and ... r-r-r-aped me." Lily began sobbing her whole body was shaking with fear. James just looked at her in complete shock. Trying to get in all the information that was just brought to him. James got from his seat after relizing that Lily was crying. He layed down on the bed and brought her down so that her head was still on his chest and that her hair was in his face.
"Shhhhhhhhh..." Said James rubbing her back for the second time that night. Lily looked up. James looked down. They looked into each other's eyes and found not the same hate that they had ever since there first year. But, a relationship. A freindship. At least that's what they thought. Lily looked down. She was embarrised.
"Promise you won't tell?" Asked Lily looking at James. James looked away. He couldn't look into her eyes. He knew that Lily had to tell someone. Anyone. This Andrew guy was a Muggle and didn't even know that Lily was a witch. She had to tell Dumbldore. Dumbledore had told them at dinnertime once all the younger years were gone, that if any rape should accor that it be reported. Muggle or non-Muggle. All the same it had to be told. James looked down again. Met by tear stained eyes. A tear escaped Lily's eyes. James caught it with his thumb and whipped it away.
"Lily, remeber what Dumbldore had said that if any rape should accour it shall be reported. It has to be reported. I promise you Lily that I won't tell anyone until your ready. Well in that case I won't tell. But, when your ready and need comfort you can always count on me." Said James looking derictly at Lily. Lily's eyes began to droop. She began falling asleep. But, before she did she muffled someting into James's shirt.
"I love you James."
!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!III!III!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!I!I!I!I!I!II!II!II!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!I!II!
Lily woke-up about 3 hours later gasping for air. Not because she couldn't breathe with James's shirt but, with the dream or nightmare i should say she had. James's shirt. Lily remebered. She looked next to her, and their lay James sleeping peacefully. A smile plastered on his face. Lily lay back down next to James. She took his arm and had put it right around her waist. She cuddled in to his muscular form and fell asleep. Once again returning to her nightmare. Less than 2 hours later. Lily woke-up shaking. Her eyes bloodshot. James was still asleep. His hands behind his head and his legs crossed. He awoke once he felt the bed shaking. He opened his eyes. To she Lily staring into the window. Shaking uncontrolablly. He grabbed Lily's hand and wrapped his body around her's. He lay her down onto the bed softly. James got up and stretched. His pale white shirt showed every muscle move. Lily closed her eyes. And buryed her face in the pillow. Welcomed by James's aroma. That semlt so good. Fresh soap and his cologne. That she knew only James could have. James sat down on the chair again and called upon the house elf that was different from yesterday's.
"Hello, Mr. Potter." Said the house elf. Lily looked up. Lily guessed that the house elf probably knew James well.
"Hey, Di." Said James smiling at the little house elf. "Di, could we have something to eat?" Asked James.
"Of course, Mr. Potter. For you and Ms. Evans?" Asked Di.
"Yes." Said James.
"I shall be back in 5 minutes." Said Di.
"How does she know my name." Asked Lily.James looked at Lily.
"She knows everyones name. I know her well because I know her mother, her mother is my house elf. And well mine and my sister's old house elf had 5 babies and they all work here at Hogwarts." Said James. His face sadened at the mentioning of his sister.
