Chimps and Poisen Ivy #3-An Invisible Boy

Hello dearest diary! Yes; I am in a considerable better mood than I was last night, considering that I just had an excellent breakfast with the hot James Potter! But I'll get to that later. Arebella incidentally did not catch fire, much to my glee. She might seem sweet and innocence on the outside, but you do not want to be on the receiving end of her temper. I guess that's why we're so close- she's just like me! So luckily, I was not hexed into oblivion, but was too tired to continue on with my daring tail of wands and wizards after I had rescued my candle form her blankets. Ok; so it wasn't such a daring tail, but I really was tired! Anywho, now that I am cozied up by the fire (it's Saturday; thank Merlin!) I can continue on.

So I'm laying there, with a hand clamped over my mouth, a bucket full of sledgehammers resting on me, and I'm practically hyperventilating, when the unknown bucket of sledgehammers reveals himself. Yes; himself. Since I have such wonderful karma (being sarcastic!) the hot James Potter flings off an invisibility cloak and flings it back over both of us, so that not only am I lying on a dusty broom closet floor, I am lying on it wrapped in a cloak with James Potter. Normally, I would have been crazy with giddiness in any other circumstance, but hello! I am not exactly a picturesque beauty here! I'm soaking wet, my hair plastered to my head, my face bright red because of anger and lack of oxygen, and I probably stunk really bad from riding on a broom for and hour and a half. Not really my ideal way to be seen by the sexy James Potter; if you know what I mean. But, even though my circumstance was not ideal, boy was I glad that he was there! Barley 2 seconds after James flung his cloak over the both of us; we hear scratching on the door. Yes; I said scratching. Scratching is not a good sign! When you hear scratching; you run; for there is normally a vicious, sneak of a cat on the other side of the door that it is scratching on.

As much as I like to think that I was put into griffindoor for my bravery, it's just not likely. So I scrunch myself as close as possible to James, trying to make sure that the cloak is completely covering me. James, much to my glee, was also breathing rather hard (hey, I didn't want to seem like a scaredy cat or anything!) and leans even farther on top of me so as to cover himself completely with the cloak. (Now that I knew that it was him, I really didn't mind all the extra weight!) And luckily, right after we had finally figured out how to situate ourselves properly, (James ended up practically scrunched up in a weird shaped ball, incidentally, directly on top of me.) the door flings open and there stood filch. Not only does he have the beauty of a hag, he stinks just as bad as a skunk! Really; hasn't he ever heard of a bathtub?

Evan though I knew that we were covered by an invisibility cloak, it was still a rather surprising thing, having an enemy look right through you as if you were not even there. I felt James tighten his grip on me, almost protectively. Again; in light of the circumstance, I could not help but grin broadly.

Finally, after starring at us, (and not seeing a thing) for almost 30 seconds, Filch slammed the door and ran off. I was sure that I could hear him muttering to his cat. It sounded frighteningly like "don't worry precious…we'll find them eventually." I could almost see him grin manically through the tone of his voice. It was rather freaky….

But anyway, back to me! We waited for at least 5 minutes before James spoke. "Ok; I think it's safe now." He flung the cloak off both of us and got off of me, (to my disappointment) but he did not stand. He only sat next to me, rather close to me, I might add. So close in fact, that I could go so far as to say he was pinning my arm to my side. But of course, it didn't bother me a bit! So instead of saying anything, I moved my arm from being pinned to my side to resting around James' shoulder. And to my luck, he didn't move it, nor did he say anything about it! But as soon as I did it I realized that he was starring down at a map with intense concentration. But when he noticed me starring, he whipped it closed and almost blushed, standing suddenly, making me tip to the side. Being the gentleman he is, he helped me to my feet, but that didn't stop me from asking questions.

"What was that James? It looked like a map of Hogwarts…..but where did you get it?"

"I'm real sorry Lils, but I can't tell you. It's a marauder rule." I smiled and raised an eyebrow, pleased that he had given me an opening as to make conversation, and almost ecstatic that he had not simply lied to me, but had given me the truth.

"A marauder rule eh? What kind of rule?" I continued to smile at him. He smiled back and rubbed the back of his neck, as though unsure of what to say. Wait! Did I just say that? James Potter unsure of what to say? Impossible! I like this effect I'm having on him! But anyway…..

"Well, we're not allowed to take my cloak-" he held up his invisibility cloak "without telling the others that we're taking it. That's why I had to push you into a closet instead of just wrapping it around you from behind. I didn't have enough time left after I had told the others. I saw on the map that Filch was hot on your tail, you see. And thought that it wouldn't do to have you in detention; seeing as you haven't had one yet. Wouldn't want you to break your clean streak."

This might have sounded rude, but considering he was grinning broadly at me, I took no offense. And plus; he had been thinking about me and my welfare hadn't he? That definitely should earn him some brownie points!

"So…about this map? What's the rule? Not allowed to reveal anything it shows to anyone?"

"Actually; no. we're not allowed to show the girl that we are currently tempted to show, no matter how beautiful she is." Wow, I definitely hadn't expected that! I get shivers down my spine just thinking about it!

"Really?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. Unconsciously I moved towards him.

"Ya, we can't just go around telling everyone our secrets; especially women who are smarter than we are. Wouldn't want them to use it against us and all." He laughed jokingly.

I couldn't help it. I mean, he was already so close, and his hair just looked so touchable! I reached up and ran my manicured hand through his almost shaggy black hair, gently tugging it. He closed his eyes and tipped his head slightly in the direction my hand was going. It came to rest on his shoulder. He opened his eyes and starred into my own, practically radiating heat. Ok; you can't blame me on this one- it was entirely his fault! He leaned in close to me, so close that our noses brushed. "Lily" he whispered hoarsely. I didn't need any more encouragement. I closed the remaining space between us and captured his lips with mine, pushing him backward a tiny bit so that he was pressed between me and the wall. Let me tell you; that were the best snog that I have ever had in my entire career of snogging! He fought for control of the kiss, but wasn't harsh like some other guys are. He was slow and gentle, easing me into it, but also rough enough to make me go crazy. I'm telling you, I have never felt anything like it before.

After at least 5 minutes of this, he pulled back slightly, to my dismay. "We shouldn't say here, in case Filch comes back." "You're right" I replied, and untangled myself from him. I attempted to straighten my appearance, but it was all in vain, considering I was still sopping wet. James watched me, amused. "A drying spell might help Lils" he said with a chuckle. I looked up in embarrassment. "I….don't have my wand with me..." he looked down right hysterical at this, but refrained from actually laughing and cast the drying spell not only on me, but on himself as well, as I had gotten him almost as wet as I was.

We continued our playful banter on throughout the hallways, even though we were under the cloak. Slowly we made our way through the castle to the kitchens, which James was delighted to hear that I already knew where they were. Soon after sitting down and getting some cookies and hot chocolate, we were deep in conversation about just how much I knew. He seemed amazed that I did so much sneaking around; and I was happy to tell him that just because I seemed a little innocent didn't mean that I actually was.

"Well, I had kinda figured that out, after that kiss…" he smirked at me as I blushed scarlet. "Well enough about me! What about you? The only think I know is that you're the only person who can best me in an argument and that you're an awesome quiditch captain….among a few other things…" it was his turn to blush, and I grinned triumphantly, proud of myself for making The James Potter turn red.

"Well, I do do well in school, even though It may seem like I never study. My parents aren't exactly fans of 'slackers' as they call them. If I do a good job in school, they don't really care how much I get in trouble, so it's really rather worth the extra effort." I grinned, surprised by this different side of him.

"You know James, as popular as you are, I never would have expected this kind of thing from you."

"Well, I'm all up for surprising a few people here and there!" we both grinned. "But seriously, I love to joke and hoarse around; but grades really are important to me; even if that does seem a little weird. I want to become an auroror; you can't slack off and get into that." I nodded my head in agreement; impressed by his maturity.

"I want to become a mediwitch" I said. "Really?" I nodded. "That suits you Lils" I smiled wide. "Thanks James"

We lost track of the time and ended up talking till around 1:00. I'm still amazed at how easy he is to talk to. I never would have guessed. Someone that hot shouldn't be allowed to have a brain that great! It's just too unreal! But anyway, we eventually made our way back up to the common room, still laughing at each other and having a grand time.

When we were walking toward our separate staircases, I realized that I had forgotten something.

"James; wait." I ran up to him where he was a couple steps up his stairs. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him square on the lips, surprising him to say the least. "Thanks for helping me keep my record clean. Meet me tomorrow for breakfast?" he just nodded and stared at me. I then walked away slowly, knowing that his eyes were still upon me. When I reached the top of my own staircase, I called down to him. "Night James." And quietly crept into my dorm.

It's almost lunch, so I'll write more later.

Always,

The already practically in love Lily Evans.

you guys keep me writing, so if you want more review:)
