Chapter Seven – Happy Together

Lily's point of view:

I looked up into the depths of his eyes as he looked straight into mine. His strong, well built arms woven around my little waist and my arms reached up around his neck. "I could stand here all day, you're so beautiful!" I giggled and blushed.

"Well aren't you the charmer," he gave me one of his famous grins and pulled me even closer into him, "but I know what you mean, I could stand here with you for ever!" His warm body so close to me felt ever so perfect. How could things change so much! I felt as though I had found something I had lost, like an empty space had been filled, that was always missing. It's true what they say you truly don't know what you're missing till it arrives.

"Lily?" a distant voice, as though coming from far away pricked my warm bubble, "Lily?" there it came again, I pushed it back a second time and snuggled closer into my pillow smiling at how warm it felt "LILY!" I jumped up, my dream completely abandoned. "Lily! I've been calling you for like ages!" I looked at Mel and then over to the clock on my bed side table the hands pointed to 5:30am. I groaned, "Rose it's five in the bloody morning!"

"Well I just wandered where you were last night?"

"It's none of your business were I was!" I said grinning at the thought of the mind blowing kiss.

"Some one got the shagging of the year last night!"

"Merlin, No! I didn't shag him last night!"

"You say him all of a sudden? Is there a male in my Lily's life?" my smile widened even more. "Come on Lils who is he?"

"James came into the library last night to study and well, let's say we changed the studying into snogging!"

"Merlin, Lils this is so good! So you two are going out now?" I looked at her, my smile widened.

"Yes!" I squealed. We sat there giggling until the slamming of the dorm door distracted us; Mel came stumbling in, her hair in disarray, make-up smudged and her school robes hanging off her. I smirked at her; she looked like a mess "Some one had a busy night!"

"Yeh, James is not just a great kisser, but also great in the sake!" she smirked.

Merlin this girl really should get her story straight. I gave her a dry smile "Oh really, well I think that maybe you should check who you sleep with because I was with James last night." Mel gave a strained smile and stormed past my four poster to the bath room slamming the door in frustration.

James point of view:

I lay smiling watching the top of my four poster as I remembered the feeling of Lily lips on mine.

"Prongs you've had that dreamy look on your face for the past hour!"

I chuckled and looked over to where Sirius was sitting on his bed. "Well you would be happy if the girl of your dreams just said yes to going out with you!"

"Good point mate. Have you started planning the first date yet?"

"Only for the past six years!" I couldn't stop smiling; Lily Evans wants to go out with me!

"You guys better get a move on or you will miss breakfast" Remus said as he came out of the bathroom.

I got up and rushed around the room not wanting to miss an opportunity to see Lily, I wondered what everyone else would say. I turned to Sirius "Have you thought about what you're going to do about Mel?" Sirius looked at me and sighed.

"Dump her I guess."

"What do you mean I guess?"

"It's just I though she was different from all the other girls I dated."

"Don't worry mate, we'll find you a girl ten times better then Mel!"

"Yeh, come on lets go down now." I followed Sirius out the door and down to the common room and out the portrait door. We walked down the stone stairs that lead to the great hall. The loud sound of the students laughing and talking could be heard.

Lily's point of view:

I sat in my usual seat in the great hall looking around for him to arrive. "Lily can you stop looking around and eat! He'll be down soon, he's always late." Rose said frustrated.

"I'm not waiting for him, I'm just not hungry."

"Whatever!"

I looked at the door. My heart started to beat faster as James walked through the door followed by Sirius. I smiled as he made his way to the Gryffindor table. He walked right up to where I was sitting. I smiled up at him and he gave me a smile back. "Hey Lily," he sounded as if he was a bit nervous.

"Hi," I stood up and he kissed me softly on the lips. I felt as if many eyes were on us. He placed a warm hand on my neck. I smiled as he pulled away; he lent his head on my forehead. "Does Friday night sound good for you?" he whispered, now just about everyone in the great hall was watching us.

"It sounds like a date," I smiled and kissed him once more, this time pulling all the way out of our embrace. He put his arm around my back and we sat down at the table. "I think everyone is staring at us!"

James laughed, "Now you know how I feel!"

"But you bring the attention on yourself"

"No I didn't! I just tried to get your attention and that happened to get everyone else's attention!" laughing, I took a bite out of my toast. I felt good sitting with James, with his arm around me and I felt like I was safe and everything would be okay. The bell went and everyone started to move.

----------- Friday -----------

James point of view:

The day seamed to go in slow motion, I was so nervous. I wanted everything to go to plan.

"Stop worrying everything will be fine!" Sirius said for what seamed the 20th time today.

"James!" I turned to find Lily behind me

"Lily!" I lent down and gave her a small kiss; Merlin this girl could make me so nervous!

"I just wanted to ask what I should wear for tonight." She asked smiling up at me.

"Oh, normal muggle clothes are fine; bring a jacket just in case it gets cold."

"Okay, well I'll meet you in the common room after dinner then," she said giving me a kiss on the cheek and then walking off in the other direction with Rose.

----- 7:30pm (after dinner) -----

Lily's point of view:

I walked down the girl's dormitory stair case carrying a black jacket, it had taken me a while to chose what I should wear but I had finally chosen my mini black Latin skirt which showed off my long legs, a green holter cross over top that showed a bit of my cleavage and brought out the colour of my eyes and to finish it off on my feet I wore high heeled black sandals.

I stepped of the last step and looked over to where James was sitting in front of the fire with Remus, Sirius and Peter. By now all the guys except for James were looking at me.

He looked extremely handsome tonight in a black shirt with the first three button undone and dark coloured jeans with faded areas. His hair was messy as usual but he had used a bit of gel to make it a little neater.

Rose came down the stairs and walked up to me "Come on Lily, don't just stand there, you look gorgeous!" and with that she walked over to Remus and sat on his lap. I took a deep breath and walked over to James. Sirius who had been talking stoped in mid sentence with his mouth hanging open, Remus and Peter also looked up at me. "James she's here" Rose said since all the other boys seemed incapable of speech.

James looked up at Rose and then over to see Sirius' stunned face. I grinned at there looks and waited patiently for James to look at me. He then followed Sirius gaze and realised that I was standing next to him. His jaw dropped as he saw what I was wearing. By now the whole common room was silent.

James' point of view:

I sat on the couch waiting for Lily to come down. Sirius was talking about something but by now I was so bloody nervous that I had totally stopped listening to him.

Rose walked passed me and sat on Remus' lap. A few seconds later it occurred to me that it had just become a lot less noisy. "James she's here," came Rose's voice. I looked up at her and then to Sirius who seemed to be very surprised at something behind me. I turned to see what he was staring at. Lily Evans stood in front of me. She looked so bloody gorgeous. My jaw dropped and all I did was sit there for a minute staring at her. Finally the sound of her giggling broke my trance.

"Wow, Lily you look…….gorgeous!" she smiled

"Thank you" she blushed a little. I stood up and held my arm out for her to take. Her soft delicate hand slipped into mine and I lead her out of the silent common room. I took one last look of the common room and saw all the guys and most of the girls craning their neck to see Lily.

"So James, where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise." I smiled. We walked in silence all the way to the entrance hall and then out through the oak door. The warm autumn air blew around us as I placed an arm around her back and guided her along the grounds. The sky was clear and the moon could be seen over the trees.

Sirius point of view:

I watched as James led Lily out the portrait. She looked really hot! "Sirius stop staring at that bitch!" I turned to see Mel standing behind me.

"Come with me" I said as I got up. I walked out the portrait followed by Mel.

"Where are we g……….." she couldn't finish her question as I pushed her up against a wall. I kissed her roughly, she moaned and her hands went straight to my pants.

"Ummm, Sirius!" I pulled her hands back up to my neck. I undid her shirt kissing her neck "Oh Merlin! I want you!"

"How much you want me?" she grinned evilly.

"I want you so much!" If she thinks that I'm going to let her have me even if she has been cheating on me and messing up things for my best friend then she was so wrong. I kissed her neck and started to kiss up to her ear "Mel it's over" I whispered.

"What!"

"You heard me, we are through! You think you can get with James so you can make Lily mad at him and still expect me to be your boyfriend? If you do, then you have another thing coming!" I left her there with her shirt hang off and I walked into the common room and up the boys dormitory stairs I though she would be different! For once I want girl that likes me for me!

Lily's point of view:

His strong arm was once again around my back as we walked along the warm grounds. He leaded me towards the lake. "Close your eyes and don't worry I'll make sure you don't fall!" I did as he asked and he directed me along for a few seconds. "Okay now open your eyes" he whispered softly into my ear.

Opening my eyes I looked at what was in front of me; he had set out a checked picnic rug and had placed food and drinks for two on it. But the really amazing thing that made it seam more romantic was that fact that there were thirty or so candles levitated into the air around the rug. I gasped "It's amazing, you did this all for me?"

"Yeh, you deserve the best!" I

walked closer to the rug and once I had come one hundred meters close, soft music started to play, I looked over at James "I can defiantly see the perks of having a smart boyfriend!" he chuckled and walked over, taking a sit on the rug. I walked over and took a seat next to him.

We sat there eating and talking. You're standing there alone, and so am I, I want you here by my side……… "Would you like to dance" James asked offering me his hand. I nodded and we stood up. He places both hands on my back and I reached my hands around his neck. We swayed there looking into each others eyes "You're so beautiful," I blushed and smiled, I leaned my head against his chest.

I could hear his heart beating. It was paradise dancing close to him, feeling his warmth against me. The song finished and I stepped out of the embrace. I looked up at him again and stepped closer to him. I leant in and kissed him, it wasn't an innocent or even a sweet kiss it was a kiss full of passion. He placed a hand on my neck and kissed back. He slowly brought his hand down running it down my bear arm and on to my waist, he pulled me closer. I placed one of my hands on his neck and the other ran through his hair and a moan came out of his mouth. We broke apart gasping for air, but not for long, his mouth was on mine again his tongue roaming my mouth.

James point of view:

I want you here by my side……… "Would you like to dance" I ask offering her my hand. She took it and I helped her up. I placed my hands around her waist and she followed my lead and placed hers around my neck. I stared into her eyes "You're so beautiful" she blushed and smiled placing her head on my chest. I swayed with her. It felt perfect having her in my arms.

The music stopped and she pulled away from me. Her emerald pools locked onto my eyes and she stepped closer to me she leant in and kissed me passionately, I kissed her back placing my hand on her neck and slowly as the kiss went on I ran my hand down her smooth bear arms and placed it on her waist, pulling her closer. She placed one of her soft hands on my neck and the other ran throgh my hair. Out of nowhere a moan escaped me. We broke apart gasping for air, but not for long, I placed my mouth on hers again, my tongue roaming her mouth.
