A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for taking long...waaay too busy! I bet you hate me lol. I promise I'll try to update more now since it's been well over a year...Here's Chappie Number 7! ()
"Well..." Sirius said as he finally put his shirt on. "I'm waiting."
"Um...well-" Lily started to say, but she was cut off by the sound of someone knocking.
"Hello? Who's in here?" A voice asked from the other side of the door.
Lily, instantly figured out who was talking. Besides it was her favorite teacher.
"Oh shit! It's Professor Flitwick!" She whispered quietly. "What will he think if he walks in here and sees the three of us like this?"
James looked around the room for a place to hide Lily. Then it hit him.
"My invisibility cloak." He said almost randomly, making Lily look at him curiously. "Put on the cloak and when I do this (James made a quick hand movement), get yourself out of here."
"Okay," Lily said as James covered her with the cloak. "How do I get this back to you?"
James didn't have to chance to reply. The door opened slowly, as James jumped on the bed and landed next to Sirius. They both look very flustered as they tried to make themselves look innocent.
"What is going on in here?" Professor Flitwick said as he walked in with his wand ready. Even though he was a small man, he still knew just about every spell possible. "James Potter? Sirius Black? What are you doing here?"
"We were um talking." James said nervously as he sat up.
"Yeah, pillow talk." Sirius added casually.
"Pillow talk? Now I understand your relationship." Professor Flitwick said slowly as he walked towards the door. "Sorry for disturbing you."
"Now he understands our relationship?" Sirius repeated after Professor Flitwick said. "What the hell does that mean?"
James turned and glared at Sirius. "You idiot! Do you know what pillow talk is?"
Sirius thought about James' question, it wasn't long before he figured out what James meant.
"Shit." He said quietly.
"Yeah." James said angrily. "Shit is bloody right. Professor Flitwick thinks we're fucking poofters now and it's all your fault. Next time, don't say anything Padfoot."
Lily opened the door slowly and closed it quietly behind her. She removed James' cloak and set it on a chair next to her. She slowly crept over to where Remus was-or so she thought...
"Soo...where have you been?" A familiar voice said in the darkness, as Lily felt her heart skip a beat.
The lights came on and Lily came face to face with Remus who was looking from her to the invisibility cloak on the chair thoughtfully. "Have fun with James tonight?"
"Uh...Remus it really isn't what you think, I was taking a walk and then James-" Lily tried to explain frantically before Remus put his finger on his lips to silence her.
He smiled warmly as he stared deeply into her emerald green eyes. "It's okay, Lily. I believe you."
Lily smiled back before leaning in to kiss her boyfriend, but they were interrupted by a knock on the door. Remus sighed deeply as he got up lazily and walked to the door to open it.
"Come to get your cloak?" Remus said as James entered, closely followed by Sirius. "What are you doing here, Padfoot?"
"I was um...busy..." Sirius started.
"Still fooling around with Jennifer?" Remus asked slowly, raising an eyebrow.
"Merlin! Does everyone about Sirius and Jennifer besides me?" James asked with a frustrated tone, as he took his cloak from Remus. "Thanks Moony. Did we interrupt you?"
"When don't you?" Lily finally said. "Maybe we need a 'Do Not Disturb' sign, Remus."
Remus chuckled as he sat back down next to Lily and pulled her close. "So are you two leaving or would you prefer invading our privacy some more?"
James and Sirius exchanged awkward looks and turned to leave. Once they were outside, James heard Lily giggling and his mood changed slightly. Sirius watched James all of a sudden walk slower.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked caringly.
"No everything is fine." James replied quietly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day Lily walked to her Divination class with the impression that she would be alone so she could study for her palm-reading test. As she entered the class, she saw James sitting in the back staring into a crystal ball that was turning blue while muttering some magical words under his breath. Lily crept slowly past him hoping that she didn't interrupt his process.
"Hello Lily."
Lily jumped at the sound of James' voice making her drop her books on a nearby table. One of her books collided with a crystal ball knocking it off the side of the small round table. Lily watched as the ball shattered into small shards, many of them piercing the delicate skin on her legs. James calmly stood up and pointed his wand at the broken pieces on the floor.
"Reparo." He said casually as the ball returned to its normal state and turned to Lily. "Why are you so clumsy?"
"I'm not clumsy, jackass." Lily replied harshly and picked up her books before she turned to leave. "I'm leaving."
"Hold it, Lily." James grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her back towards him. "We need to talk. Again. You know that phrase gets really old after a while."
"What do you want?"
"I don't understand you sometimes. Isn't this what you want?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Me to be nice to you, Lily. And don't even try to say no because I know the truth."
"Maybe this is what I've always wanted, James...just not this way."
"Break up with Moony then."
"Excuse me?"
"Stop going out with Remus."
James pulled Lily closer to him, so close that Lily could hear his heart beat. Lily didn't know what to do, she felt powerless under James. She couldn't think straight enough to move away from him. All the time she was thinking, James leaned towards her face. All Lily could do was stare and watch as James slowly went for her lips.
"James...don't do this. We-" Lily started to say. Her heartbeat quickened as James' lips connected with hers in mid-sentence. The kiss deepened as Lily eventually gave in to James. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pulled her into him.
Lily and James had finally done what they had wanted to do for so long. Little did they know they were being watched. For the second James and Lily kissed, Remus had appeared at the door with Sirius.
"Holy shit." Sirius said breathlessly. "Moony, I am so sorry."
"No." Remus replied firmly. "I'm sorry. I knew this would happen. I could see it her eyes. I could hear it in her voice."
"So...what are you going to do? Are you going to break up with her? Beat the shit out of James? What?"
Remus shrugged and turned around. "I'm going to walk away."
"Wait, Moony-" Sirius started as Remus walked away. After he realized that calling after him wouldn't work, Sirius turned and ran after Remus.
Lily pulled away from James quickly and clapped her hand over her mouth.
"Oh no. What have I done?" She said quietly in a shocked tone. "Why did you kiss me?"
"Why did you kiss me back?" James replied, before he noticed Lily start to cry. "Look, I know you're Moony's girlfriend but no one has know what happened. We can forget we ever kissed."
James took a step toward Lily in a means to comfort, but took a step back as Lily pulled out her wand.
"Get away from me!" She shrieked loudly. "God, James, what don't you understand about leave me alone? When I say go away I mean it! All you seem to be trying to do is ruin my life! Is that your goal in life? Why won't you stop chasing me?"
James opened his mouth to respond, but closed to quickly to stop himself from saying what he really felt. He stared at Lily for what seemed to be a minute turned into an hour and then turned and walked out of the room. The bell rang shortly and the rest of the students walked in the room, each of them taking notice of Lily's tear stained face as her mascara continued to run down her slightly rosy cheeks. That class James and Remus did not show up. Lily knew why James wasn't there but she wondered about Remus. Where was her boyfriend? She needed him to comfort her. Lily knew that she could never let Remus find about what happened between her and James, but she knew he could make her feel better without asking her what was wrong. Somehow he already seemed to know what the problem was without asking.
At the end of class, Lily was left with the responsibilty of giving James his homework again. When she left the classroom, she went to find Sirius to ask him to do it instead seeing as she didn't want to be near James at all.
"Please, Sirius? I really need you to do it for me." Lily pleaded in the Gryffindor common room. Sirius stared back at her without changing his serious expression.
"Why?" Sirius asked slyly. He already knew why Lily was avoiding, but he wanted the pleasure of hearing her say it herself. "You did it last time. Why can't you do it this time?"
"Look, Sirius, I just don't want to do it this time okay?" Lily replied slowly. "I have all that patrolling to do and my studies. I take all N.E.W.T. classes, I'm just stressed out."
Sirius was unconvinced. "That's not an excuse, Lily. It takes two seconds to give James his homework. You don't have to talk to him or anything. Just give it to him and go. You make it sound as though you had an altercation of some sort--or did you?"
Lily broke away from Sirius's dark inquiring eyes as she tried to stop herself from blushing.
"Look if you won't do it, then I'll find someone else who will." Lily got up and walked away from Sirius. She walked up to the girl's dormitory and sat on her bed with James' homework on her lap. Her heartbeat quickened as her worst fear suddenly became realized.
"Sirius knows." She said to herself in a mixture of fear and shock. She was right. Sirius knew and that was the start of terrible things to come.
