Chapter Seven: End of the Year

After the Charms tutoring group, Lily set off for the Gryffindor Common Room. It was late, and she was really tired. James came with her.

'Lily-'

'Potter, what do you want? I'm tired, and I'm cross-'

'You promised that date. When are we going to do it?'

'One day. Next Hogsmeade trip,' murmured Lily, before collapsing into James' arms.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whiteness blinded Lily's eyes as they fluttered open.

'Where am I?'

'Hospital Wing.'

'Potter, go to bed, and stop worrying about me!'

'Lily-'

'I said, go away!'

'Fine. Good night.' James kissed Lily's forehead. Lily was too tired to lift her arms and brush him away. Everything in her body felt like it was weighed down by lead, or it was just really, really heavy. She could move, but she didn't want to. She was way too weak. Madam Pomfrey came bustling in.

'You again, Evans!'

'Yes, Madam Pomfrey…'

'Tsk tsk! You are very weak. What you've been doing, I have no idea. I did a check up on you. I found some Memory Potion.'

'I took some, Madam Pomfrey.'

'For what reasons?' This was a stupid question, Lily knew.

'I don't know. I can't remember. It's a Memory Potion, after all.'

'Go to sleep now, here's some Dreamless Draught Armadillo has brewed for you…' Madam Pomfrey tipped some black potion into Lily's mouth. Before she could say anything, she fell asleep into a dreamless sleep.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily woke up in the morning. She stretched. She could move! Lily jumped out of bed but was pushed down by several pairs of hands.

'Lily, yer not fit te go ta class yet,' said Hagrid concernedly.

'Hagrid! Bubos!' A bubble formed around Lily. No one could break it.

'Expecto Patronum!' cried James. His silver stag shot out of his wand, and charged at Lily's bubble. Its horns burst it.

'Magic against magic,' grinned James.

'You-you-'

'Can't think of a good enough word to describe me?' Lily just stormed off to change. The boys followed Lily into her dorm. It was until then she realised they were all in casual clothing.

'Where are your uniforms?' she demanded.

'Free dress today, Evans,' grinned Sirius. Hagrid was wearing an overlarge moleskin coat (where have I seen that before? ;)), and James was wearing a shirt and loose, baggy jeans.

'Oh, no.'

'Oh no what?'

'I just like looking the same, so no one can comment on how you look.' Lily shrugged.

'Well… why don't we help you look for what to wear.'

'Shut your mouth, Black,' Lily snapped.

'Ooh, feisty,' purred James.

'Out, out!' shrieked Lily. 'I'm writing a private letter, then I'm changing!'

'Wouldn't mind staying,' said James, steering clear of her hands, trying to push the group of boys out. Remus respected her rights, so did Hagrid and Peter. They went out. Lily glared at Sirius and James.

'Oh, okay, Evans,' he groaned, and trooped out with Sirius. But really he had a very sneaky idea. He quickly ran up the stairs to his dormitory and grabbed his Invisibility Cloak, which was crumpled at the bottom of his trunk. He quickly flung it on and went out, creeping quietly into Lily's dormitory. She sat hunched up over a desk, scribbling quickly on some parchment. James peered over her shoulder curiously.

Dear Mum & Dad,

I haven't written to you for ages. Could you please send me some of those heart candy things that I used to like when I was little? I want to give them to someone… special.

James' heart pounded so loudly that he was sure Lily could hear it.

Anyway, class is about to start, can you believe it, it's free dress day!

Love,

Lily

James backed away as she pushed her chair out. She grabbed some denim jeans and a green tube top that brought out her eyes. Lily started taking off her shirt. James stiffened. Lily had a practically perfect body. She was quite skinny, but not too skinny, James thought. Lily had nearly finished dressing. She had stripped down to her underwear and was pulling on the jeans. James took one last glance at her figure and hurried out of the dorm. When he was in his own dorm, he took off the Cloak and stuffed it back into his trunk. He went into the bathroom to wash his face. He looked into the mirror. He was red. Very red. He splashed some water onto his face and breathed freely again.

Oh, Lily Evans, I want you so much, he thought as he leaned over the basin. I really think we're really meant to be… James hurried off to class as he heard the bell ring.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some boys were muttering and pointing at Lily. She had tied up her hair messily, and James had to say, it was a pretty good look, with strands hanging loosely around her face. That wasn't the only thing though. She looked… there was only one word to describe it… sexy. James chuckled softly. All the girls knew he was single again and not pre-occupied with Lily. They were all glaring at her.

'Oh, I'm going to kill her if she wears those earrings again! She knew I was going to wear them today specially for James!'

'Oh, shut your big trap, I was going to wear those stilettos for Sirius!' As the girls ranted about Lily James' grin just became even wider. It was funny seeing Lily so… sexy. She was usually the responsible one, the studious one. So that was why at the end of year it was no surprise to anyone that Lily became Prefect for Gryffindor and so did Remus. Everyone went home for the summer holidays. Little did Lily know she would be seeing James again, very soon…
