Chapter Twelve: Paradise

Lily headed for the Room of Requirement. She paced outside the tapestry three times.

I need a room for calming myself, she thought furiously. I need a room for calming my- A blue door appeared with a silver handle. Lily turned the handle and pushed the door open. Inside was a colour-changing beanbag, a black leather massage chair, a hot Jacuzzi with different flavoured, sized and coloured bubbles, a huge stereo hi-fi system, a cauldron and different ingredients in a cupboard, soft fluffy cushions and a wooden bookshelf weighed down by many different books, Muggle and magic. Lily chose Pride & Prejudice, a nice thick, juicy book by Jane Austen. She seated herself in the massage chair and sighed. Time out to chill was just what she needed. She opened the book and began reading, but found she had to squint because of the small lettering. She couldn't be bothered to get a magnifying glass so she whipped out her wand.

'Bonhild!' The words instantly became larger and easier to read. After 647 (Note: I don't know how many pages are in the book, so don't sue me!) pages Lily just leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. She really felt like doing some work. She chose a good Potions book and skimmed through the contents for some Pranking Potions. She really wanted to get that James Potter back. She decided on an interesting one called "Barbarian for One Hour". Lily flipped through the pages and finally found the Barbarian Potion. She read down it carefully and got the ingredients.

Half a cup of Powdered Unicorn Horn

Five whole Pygos'

One sixteenth of a Large Mahogany Quill Feather

One Ashwinder eye

One Red Cap middle toe

Four drops of Erumpent Poison

Three two-inch by four-inch birch twigs

One Grindylow claw

Luckily they were easy to find as they were arranged alphabetically in the cupboard. Lily got out the appropriate weighing and measuring utensils and got the right amount of ingredients. She put the ingredients back and started brewing the Potion above a fire. Finally she had finished the Potion, and it had turned out exactly as she wanted it. Down the bottom, there was a little warning.

WARNING: DO NOT mix in any other Potion, dairy drinks, pastry food or pudding. Takes 12 hours to work.

Lily sighed contentedly. The Potion would work really well. It would make James act like a barbarian for one hour. She tipped the Potion into a small vile and slipped out of the Room of Requirement.

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

'Lily, I've been looking for you all afternoon, where have you been?' screamed James worriedly. Heads turned all over the Great Hall. Brittany the Prefect stared at James. He glared at them all and they quickly busied themselves with their dinner. While he was glaring, Lily quickly tipped the Barbarian Potion into his goblet filled with juice.

'I was… in the dormitory,' Lily answered coolly.

'I looked in there! In every nook and cranny!' Lily was staring at James strangely as he spoke.

'Why are you staring at me like I'm an idiot?' he pointed out. Lily just narrowed her eyes and said,

'You are.' (Note: Okay this really happened in a Maths class and the Maths teacher is really funny and he asked it to a girl who he was staring at and she just said, 'You are.' He said he thought it was "cool", like she didn't lose her temper or anything; she was just so "smooth". Lol)

'What did you say, Lily Evans?'

'I said, you are an idiot.' James looked like steam was coming out of his ears.

'Fine! Fine!'

'Fine what?' answered Lily calmly. James gulped down his last swig of pumpkin juice (Yes! Lily was screaming in her mind. She quickly checked her watch. 8:30pm), made an annoyed noise like a rhinoceros and stormed off. Lily just grinned evilly. She had finally gotten her own back.

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

James stormed into his dormitory, and banged the door shut on the way. What he found there wasn't comforting at all. Sirius was there, snogging Peta Renniken senseless. He broke off as James entered. James just glowered and turned to go out.

'Padfoot!' called Sirius hurriedly. He scrambled over his and Peta's robes, but Peta grabbed his tie and started kissing him again. James walked out to the peace of the Gryffindor Common Room. In the Common Room, James found Remus. He went up to him and WHAM. He punched him as hard as he could in the stomach. Remus crumpled up, then straightened almost instantly.

'What the hell did you do that for?' he hissed furiously.

'I told you to keep your filthy little hands off of Lily!' screeched James angrily. And another WHAM indicated that he had punched Remus in the stomach again. James walked out of the portrait hole with Remus crumpled up next to the fire.

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

What James found outside was not good. Not good at all. Lily was walking towards the Gryffindor Common Room. Lucius Malfoy came running after her, and slammed her against the wall. He started kissing her furiously. James ran up behind him. What was a good spell?

'Diffindo!' James took careful aim and Lucius flew off Lily. Lily just slid down the wall, wide-eyed, her top four buttons undone. She started crying. James went up to her, and put his arms around her. Lily wept into his shoulder. James smoothed out her long fiery red hair.

'Lily, it's okay,' he said soothingly. He carefully led her towards the Gryffindor Common Room Entrance. 'Adoramus te! Come on Lily, let's get you up to bed.' Lily was losing control over her feet and legs, she was falling asleep, so James with no difficulty lifted her into his arms and carried her up to his dormitory, due to the new rule No boys in the girls' dormitories. He placed her into his bed and tucked the sheets carefully over her. He looked down at her luscious lips and her long eyelashes. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. James grabbed a pillow from his bed threw it on the floor. He took off his cloak and lay down, using the cloak as a blanket. Sirius was in bed already. He snorted and rolled over.

'Come on, give me back my Spiderman backpack!' he cried like a little boy in his sleep. James silently shook with laughter and closed his eyes.

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

Lily woke up to peace and quiet in a bed. She stretched and sat up. She looked around. She carefully slid out of the bed. Remus, Sirius and Peter were in the other three beds. She was in a boys' dormitory. Then she remembered what happened last night. James had taken her in his arms. She sighed and dangled her feet over the bed. Then she looked at the clock. 6:30am. That was James' clock. Then she was in… James Potter's bed! What happened to James? She crept over to the other side and peered at James. He was there, sleeping silently. She got back into the bed, as it was a cold morning, and leaned over him, just staring at him. A small smile crept on James' lips. He was really awake. He could feel Lily's warm breath on his face. Without knowing why, Lily leant down and kissed him lightly for a few seconds. Then she leaned back again. James decided to wake up then. He stretched and blinked a few times. Lily's hand flew up to her mouth and she quickly turned and faced the opposite side.

'Boo,' said James quietly into her ear.

'Argh!' Lily screamed.

'Shh, shh,' said James. He put a finger to her lips and crawled into the bed.

'Potter, get away!'

'This is my bed, Lily.'

'Don't call me that.' Lily turned on her side and closed her eyes. James just gazed at her back, with her orange hair flowing down. He closed his eyes too and tried to go back to sleep with the love of his life. He couldn't get to sleep. He checked that Lily was asleep before wrapping his arms around her waist and going to sleep. A small smile crept over his lips again. He was truly in paradise.
