Chapter 3 – Tell him, tell him not

Lily followed James quietly to the room of the requirement, wondering if this was the right time to tell James yet.

"Here we are." James said smiling, Lily tried to smile back, but could only manage a small grin. James started to walk too and fro across the door before stopping and turning back to Lily. "Close your eyes…" Lily closed her eyes obediently and felt James take her hand. She walked slowly, James leading before her. She could tell when they walked into the room because her feet sank slightly into a soft carpet.

"Can I open my eyes yet?" Lily asked curiously.

"I don't know, do you want to keep them closed?"

"No."

"Then open them."

Lily opened her eyes slowly and was immediately surprised at how dark it was. She let her eyes get adjusted to the semi-darkness before looking around. There was a small table in the middle of the room. She noticed that there were two chairs and plates with food on them. Her eyes roved to the left wall where she saw a huge screen. She was totally puzzled. She had expected a lunch table or something, but this was very different. She had no idea where she was.

"James?"

"Yes." James smiled at her, hoping she liked it. "Do you like it?"

Lily looked back at him. "What is it?"

James seemed a little put-off at that comment but spent no time explaining. "Well you know those muggle things called movies? Well I thought we could watch one, because it must have been a while since you watched a movie, I mean with living in the wizarding world and all…I thought you would like it…"

"I do." Lily said quickly, James was right, it had been ages since she had watched a movie. She smiled at him. "What are we watching?"

James smiled and gave his wand a flick. The screen had changed and was now showing the title, Lily Evans. Lily stared at the title and then back at James, "James, what?"

James smiled "I wasn't sure what you wanted to watch so I thought that I could make a movie."

Lily stood silently for a few seconds before sitting down on the chair, not knowing what to expect. James sat down on the other seat and looked at her, "Do you want to watch it?"

Lily nodded silently. James flicked his wand again and in the screen Lily saw flashes of what had happened to her this year. Being prefect, fooling around in common room, studying, her at the dance. James had somehow managed to piece it all together and it flowed through. They were both quiet for about 10 minutes, until the last screen came on. It was plain white with black writing. Lily read it again and again silently in her mind. The ordinary girl, that won my heart- Lily Evans.

Lily looked at James and smiled, a real smile, not a fake one. And she knew instantly that Sirius would never have done something like that for her.

James smiled back, "So…?"

"It was really…beautiful…"

James seemed pleased with that and then looked down at the plates, "It's your favourite, chicken pasta."

Lily smiled again and then picked up her fork and started eating. James did the same. There was no conversation through-out the meal, it was a comfortable silence, for James at least. Lily was having an argument in her head. She didn't know what to do.

Lily finished eating and got up slowly, James did too and they both walked out of the door. James put his arm around Lily as they walked back to the common room. They stopped at the bottom of the girl's staircase and faced each other. Just say it, Lily thought to herself, Just tell him about Sirius…But she knew she couldn't.

"Well, bye." Lily turned to walk up the stairs.

James put his arm around Lily slowly and turned her to look at him. He pulled her close and pulled her towards him. His face neared hers and though Lily was telling herself to pull away, she couldn't. Lily leaned forward slightly and James kissed her softly. He stood back and smiled slightly, "See you." He said and walked away.

Lily looked at his back as it retreated up the boy's staircase and turned to walk up to her dorm. To the one place where she didn't have to be near either James or Sirius.
