Summary
So what really happened in their final year of school that made Lily changes her mind about James Potter? "You think you're funny, but you're an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter." Did the infamous Potter grow up for the love of his life? (LJ 4eva)
Chapter Six – Meet You There
Lily's point of view:
The sun blazed as I walked around the lake. Tears ran down my face, why do I care so much? It's just Potter? That simple question hunted me. Why did I care? Is it because I though he had changed or was it because he kissed the one person I could not stand? Yes it was a bit of all of that but there's something else. "I'm falling for James Potter!" I whispered those four words.
I stopped in front of one of the shady oak trees and turned as I slid down the trunk. "After six years I had fallen for the last person I though I would and look where it lead me!" I placed my head in my hands as more tears seeped out of my eyes and made their way down my face.
Mel the little bitch will pay, she has walked over me enough and this is the final straw! If she thinks I'm going to let her think I'm weak she is so wrong!
I looked up my gaze making a steady path along the grayish blue water that filled the lake and I smiled. You could never find another sanctuary like Hogwarts. It was my home and even if it had its downs it had triple the amounts of ups. I sat there and look over to the other side of the lake where I would usually find the tall dark messy haired boy and his three insuperable friends. I smiled, this was they way I liked him; being himself, none of that arrogant bullshit he put on show. The real James Potter, who was just like any other boy.
James' point of view:
I ran past Rose out the door heading for the entrance hall.
"Slow down mate! What's the rush?" Sirius said as I practically bowled him over.
"I can't stop! Mel framed me and now Lily thinks I was using her!"
"WHAT!"
"Yeh that's right your girlfriend snogged me to get back at Lily and now Lily thinks I'm a sleaze and that she was just another 'get in my pants' girl!" I didn't wait for Sirius' reply, instead I ran out into the sunny grounds. I scanned the area, where would Lily be? I searched for her auburn hair. I ran as fast as I could, looking everywhere; the Quidditch pitch, the entrance to the forbidden forest. Where else could she be? The answer to that question is very simple, anywhere!
I looked over the grounds scanning the places hidden by the shadows cast by the trees. a bunch of 3rd years were playing a game, 6th year girls pointing in my direction, the Slytherin Quidditch team practicing, a girl staring out over the lake, a 1st year feeding the dog tied up outside the games keepers hut. My eyes traveled back over the girl sitting on her own near the lakes edge, the wind was blowing, reveling her long auburn hair which had been tucked under her hood. I walked slowly up to her.
"I'm so sorry Lily, she just kissed me, and I don't like her at all!" she turned her head to see me. She stood up "Lily I like you and only you" she stood in front of me. Silent. Why isn't she yelling at me telling me? Telling me that I'm a pig-headed arrogant childish boy? Instead she walked past me and left without saying a word. I could handle anything but the eerie silence, it hunted me.
Rose's point of view:
The day had dragged on and I had started to get worried because no one had seen Lily since James had talked to her at the lake. I sat on my bed thinking of where she could be when the slamming of the door captured my attention. I looked up and there was a very puffed eyed Lily.
"There you are!" I sighed with relief.
"I don't want to talk about it!" she said as she stalked over to her bed pulling her curtains closed.
------- A couple days later------
I watched as a very tired Lily sat in her bed finishing off her work that was due today. She was never one to leave her work to the last minute. She had only been to her classes and other then that she had avoided the great hall and common room, I had taken to bringing up food for her but she didn't touch it.
"I don't know why you bother, she won't eat any of it!" Mel sighed as I brought a tray of toast and other assorted breakfast foods.
"She's my friend, that's why I bother!" she closed the dorm door behind her as I made my way to Lily
"Lily come on, get up and eat. You know you're just letting Mel get what she wants!" I was just about feed up with her. She was my friend and I would never leave her but I can't help just watching her waste away! Losing all self control and confidence. She didn't answer and I looked at my watch, it was time for class "well come on its class. We will be late!"
"Nah go ahead. I'll meet you there." She said feebly, she really did need to get some sleep, she looked so dead!
Lily point of view:
I watched as Rose walked out of the room. I couldn't move I was so tired I know I should get up but just a little more rest couldn't hurt! I closed me eyes, and let sleep over come me.
"Ummm James." I murmured.
"Lily, you're so beautiful" James said huskily as his hand traveled down, caressing my body, I pulled my top off and his hands covered me breasts massaging them through my thin black lace bra.
"James I want you so much!" I stared gasping for air! He undid the back of my bra letting it fall off. He led me to the bed, taking of his shirt exposing his bear chest. He kissed my lips and made a trail down my milky skin, down to my breasts. He took one in his hand and the other he sucked on, licking the hard erected nipple. "Ooohhhh James," I moaned as I arched my back into him. He did the same to the other breast. I pulled his face back up to mine so I could kiss his soft lips, in-twining my arms around his neck. Our tongues danced together and his hands made there way down to his pants unzipping them revealing white with red love heart boxers. I could feel his erected penis against my thigh. A piece of silk, a skirt and underwear lay between us.
"James, oh James!"
"I know baby" my hands undid themselves from his neck and pushed down my skirt revealing matching black laced underwear. I kissed my way down his chest, "oh no you don't." he chuckled quickly pulling me back up to his lips. One of my hands ran through his untamed hair and the other rested on his chest. He placed a hand on my hand and slowly guided it down his sleek abdominals and stopped slightly as it reached the elastic of his boxers. I moaned as he slowly guided my hand under the elastic into his boxers…..
I woke up grasping for air. I looked around. No shirt on the floor, no James. I became more aware of my surroundings, breathing very heavily; it felt too real, so good! I looked at my watch, damn 40 minutes late for class I couldn't go like this I needed to cool down. I walked into the bathroom and had a shower.
---------------------------
"Sorry professor, I accidentally over slept!" I said rushing into the charms classroom.
"Arhh Miss Evans, there you are. Quite alright, just don't let it happen again!"
"Yeh sir, oh and there's the essay you wanted."
"Thank you; now sit down so I can continue with my class!" I walked to the only vacant seat which happened to be right next to James. I sat down without looking at James and got my parchment and quill out to take notes. We sat in silence doing our own note taking as the professor marked our essays.
James point of view:
I watched as her hair fell down as she started to write. I looked back at my own books and picked up my quill. James you have to do your work, stop ogling at her! But to my dismay two seconds later my eyes ad traveled back to her.
Merlin she was so beautiful. "James, looking at her isn't going make her talk to you," Sirius whispered in my ear.
"I know, it's just…"
"You're falling for her bad!" he was so right. I had fallen; actually to be exact I had crashed into love with her! I couldn't hide it or fight it, not that I wanted to do that, but I just wish she would stop fighting.
"Now class I will be handing back the essays. I would like to say that I'm highly disappointed in some of you for your lack of effort but others I have been pleasantly surprised." He walked up and down the tables handing the pieces of parchments back to their author. We walked up to me and placed my yellowing piece in front of me, "James I am a little confused by this sudden drop in effort in your essay, I want to see you after class." I looked down and saw a P written on the top, how was I supposed to get good grades when I was too distracted by Lily!
Looking back over to where Lily sat, I saw a P on her work too. Lily never gets P's!
The bell rang and everyone rushed out the door while I made my way up to the professor's desk. "James, what is going on? I have never had an essay handed in by you that is less then an O."
"I'm sorry professor, I've been really distracted, I promise it won't happen again!"
"I'm sure it will not. Lily" I turned to the back and saw Lily walk slowly to the teachers table. "Miss Evans, the same goes with you"
"I'm really sorry; I have been having a really bad week."
"I understand. Just try to not let it get you down, and try and be on time next time."
"Thank you professor." She turned to leave and I trailed after her.
Lily point of view:
The day had been very long and I had decided to go to the library to finish my homework in peace, but to my disappointment I found the library quite full. I wondered through row after row till I found the only empty table.
I was half way through my work when I heard a cough. I looked up into the eyes of none other then James Potter. "Can I sit here, because every other table his full and I really need to get my work done without the distraction of Sirius!" he let out in one breath.
"Yeh, I guess it's okay." Great now how am I supposed to get my work done? He sat down opposite me and pulled out several rolls of parchment and started to write. I continued to write but nothing seemed to make sense to me.
I looked across to where James had his head bent over his work and I studied his face. His soft skin with very faint freckles from all the time spent in the sun. And then there was his hair! Messy as always, but I couldn't help to wonder what it would feel like to run my figures through it.
He looked up and saw me staring, but instead of his cocky smile he blushed and turned away and as did I. I went back to trying to write my essay but it still didn't make sense. I could feel James' eyes on me and I looked up and again we both blushed and turned away. He let out a sigh. "I'm sorry." He said almost whispering it.
"About what?" I looked up at him.
"About everything! I swear Mel came onto me, I don't even like her. How can I when I'm in love with you?"
"James I know…." But he wouldn't let me finish because he kept rambling on.
"I was just waiting for you and she walked into the room and threw herself at me…"
"James" he still continued "JAMES" I said loudly. He looked up at me "I know, Rose explained to me what happened."
"Then why haven't you talked to me?" he asked, sounding slightly hurt.
"I've been a little confused. And I was just analyzing the situation."
"You analyze things a lot, don't you?" it was more of a rhetorical question then a real question.
"Look James, what I was going to tell you was that I like you…. And if you wanted to ask me out I would say yes." I didn't know why, but I all of a sudden I felt very nervous and venerable. He just sat there staring at me opening and closing his mouth.
James' point of view:
"Look James, what I was going to tell you was that I like you…. And if you wanted to ask me out I would say yes." I looked at her speechless! She had just said that she liked me! LIKED ME! I wanted to jump for joy.
"I guess I was wrong," her voice was shaking and her eyes became glassy as though she was about to cry. She began putting all her belongings in her bag. For once in my life I didn't know what to do, I was nervous! She turned to leave but I grabbed hold of her wrist, she turned her head to face me and I lent over the table and kissed her softly on the mouth. I dropped her wrist and she looked at me. A few seconds past as we stayed in silence looking at each other. Then she dropped her bag and came around to my side of the table.
"Lily, will you go out with me?" I asked.
She didn't reply instead she placed her arms around my neck and kissed me. I kissed her back and placed my arms around her waist bringing her closer to me.
"There you are James I've been….." Sirius stopped dead. Lily and I broke apart and looked at Sirius. "I think I'm going to faint! I just saw Lily and James kissing!" I grinned and I hear Lily giggle.
Sirius point of view:
"Where is James?" I looked over at Remus.
"He left to go and do his homework in the library remember!" Remus said over his charms book.
"Oh, okay I'm going to find him then!"
"Yeh, whatever." Remus said paying no real attention to what I was saying.
I walked into the library and realized that finding James here wasn't going to be that easy. It was really busy and I walked through row after row, until I got to the back and I saw a glimpse of James' black hair.
"There you are James I've been….." I walked up to James and suddenly stopped when I saw the one and only Lily Evans with her arms around his neck. "I think I'm going to faint! I just saw Lily and James kissing!" I said in shock.
They broke apart and James grinned and Lily giggled like a little school girl. "Good way to ruin the moment!" James said grinning as Lily giggled some more.
