I own no one
---------------I could have------------
I didn't feel much like sleeping that night so after the guys had gone up I settled myself into a comfortable position on my chair and gazed into the fire.
It wasn't long till I started to fall under that spell called sleep.
My eyes slowly closed and I was whisked away into the land of dreams.
I was in a room; it was a dark room, from what I could see through the darkness it was quite large, round, painted black, so I could only see a little, my eyes were starting to adjust slightly to the darkness.
I saw the familiar red that always appeared in my dreams; yes it was Lily, though neither of us were dead, so much for the other dreams, nightmares.
She was coming closer to me, softly calling my name.
"James" Her hair was swinging down by her side, flowing beautifully as she walked still closer.
"James" She said again, her rosy lips puckered, as though she was about to kiss me.
"James" She said a little louder this time.
Suddenly the room swirled through a sort of vortex and I was in a completely different place, Lily was no where in sight.
But I could still hear her voice this time louder and with a hint of impatience.
"James!"
"POTTER!" The voice literally screamed, my eyes flung open as I felt myself being vigorously shook.
"Finally Potter I've been calling you for the last 10 minutes, what's wrong with you?"
"Lily" I said in a disbelieving voice, I pinched myself just to make sure I wasn't still in my dream. I was awake. I let out a small muffled squeak of agony at the arm I had just bruised then turned back to her.
"No it's the tooth fairy Potter, of course it's me" She said rolling her eyes.
"You're…you're here" I breathed lifting my hand to her face.
"Yes…yes I am"
"I…I've missed you so much" I said jumping up from my seat and jumping straight onto her, I clung onto her tight, smelling her familiar powdery smell and softly brushing her long smooth hair.
"Well I 'spose I've missed you to" She said slightly amused. I looked at her, my eyes now sparkling brightly, "Just a little though so don't go getting any ideas" my smile faltered a bit but when she also smiled I was reassured.
"I've felt so guilty, like it was my entire fault" I said letting go of her and holding her at arms length. It looked like she had just got back to the castle; she was wearing her own clothes, a pair of denim jeans and a red blouse which complimented her eyes perfectly. Oh listen to me James Potter, fashion fanatic.
"Oh trust you to make it all about yourself Potter" She said rolling her eyes yet again. I imagined they might fall out soon if she kept that up.
"But I did Lily, I thought if what happened between us never did then you wouldn't have had that fit"
"Look James, I was ill, extremely ill, I was bound to have that fit sooner or later and if anything it's better that I did have it sooner otherwise they might not have been able to help me"
"So…you're all better now?" I asked, searching her features for any sign of a lie.
"Yep a hundred percent, it was a clot that's all, it was a muggle thing not a curse, I was as right as rain after they fixed me up down St. Mungos, had to get some muggle help though, was sent to some other Hospital up in London"
"But they said it was incurable…and they said they had never seen anything like it"
"Well then I guess they were in a flap over nothing weren't they?" She said with a small smile still plastered on her face. I smiled back and leaned into her. She didn't move.
"So don't you want a welcome back kiss then?"
"Look James I thought you understood the first time…I just can't"
"But Lily I won't hurt you, I love you"
"James if you love me…you won't do this to me"
"Lily all I've done is love you, you can't blame me for that"
"Oh yes I can" She said laughing a little. Her voice shaking a lot.
"But…wait" I said holing my hand up as a sort of stop sign.
"What is it James, I should be getting to bed now anyway…"
"No Lily just wait a minute" I ran upstairs so fast I tripped on the last step and kind of stacked it into my room. Remus' head shot up from his bed as I banged my foot on the side of the door and let out a yelp of pain. I cursed the door and shook my fist at it. Sirius also sat up groggily, whilst Peter just kept sleeping, not even a rampage of stampeding elephants could wake him from his sleep.
"What the hell is going on!" Remus asked switching on his bedside lamp.
"The evil muffins are going to get me!" Sirius said suddenly jumping back under the covers.
"Look I don't have time to tell you now, where's the letter I wrote to Lily? Where did I put it?"
"Dunno mate, didn't you leave it in the bathroom when you went to clean your teeth this evening?"
"I might have, I'll check" I hurried to the bathroom and accidentally slid on the mat by the door. I steadied myself on the edge of the bath and looked around in search of the parchment. I was beginning to feel cold; a cool draft was coming in through the window open on the other side of the room. Peter must have left it open when he did that particularly gruesome…well…you know.
I made my way over the close it when I saw my parchment balancing on the edge of the sink, what was it with balancing objects in this story?
Anyway, a sudden gust of wind circulated the room and uplifted the letter from its place on the edge of the sink.
I jumped trying to catch it but it was out of my reach…it flew dangerously towards the open window and straight through it out into the pitch black night.
"Oh FIDDLESTICKS" I screeched in frustration stamping my foot hard on the ground and hurting my littlest toe.
I slowly made my way back down to the common room ready to face Lily, she would be mad I made her stay there when there was nothing to show for it.
I got to the couch ready to take on an annoyed and flustered Lily, but I couldn't see her. Maybe the wait was too long and she had got impatient and gone to bed.
But then I saw her, lying on the sofa, huddled up in front of the fire, hair fanned on the cushion her head was resting upon. She looked so blissful, so gorgeous, so…out of my league.
I picked up a blanket I had spread out for myself on the other couch and covered her own body with it. I kissed her lightly on the fore head and left her to sleep. She didn't need any one else disturbing her tonight.
---------------------------------------------
The next day I woke up with a healed heart and a spring in my step.
It was Saturday, the one day, or well one of two if you count Sunday, that I could rest. When I was dressed and had got down to the common room Lily had already moved herself, I suspected she was getting dressed and making herself known to her peers at that moment.
I decided to wait for her, maybe we could walk down to breakfast together. I waited, and waited, and waited some more, but she never came. So I thought 'well maybe she's already gone down to breakfast'.
I sat down at the table and ate my breakfast quietly. Lily wasn't there. So maybe she's left already, that's ok…it wasn't like I purposely wanted to bump into her. Ok it was.
I got up to leave; maybe I could have a stroll through the grounds…maybe have a little game of Quidditch before practises start next week. I could go for a dip in the lake, but it was freezing cold; I could go back to the common room and play a game of exploding snap, but the common room seemed so far away at that moment.
I could always go to the library to study…blah studying shivers.
So I just stood there for a while. When my legs started buckling beneath my weight I left the hall and stood in the corridor for a while…looking lost.
"Potter" I heard. I turned to see Lily running towards me, her all stars squeaking against the floor.
"Lily" I said smiling.
"I have something of yours Potter, flew into me this morning, nearly poked my eye out" She held up a piece of parchment…it was the note.
"Oh Lily, you weren't…I'm sorry…I"
"Don't say anything James…I just want you to know that this is the sweetest thing any boy, person, has ever done for me" She came bounding up to me and literally jumped on me. I tottered backwards then regained my balance.
"Well…I'm glad you like it" I said hugging her back.
She looked up at me with those big green eyes and smiled. My heart melted.
"Thank you James, for everything you have ever done for me, for all the time you've loved me when I was a witch, hey the irony, for all the times you've picked on me as a sign of affection and all the times you kept trying to win my heart after I broke yours. You know Potter, for an arrogant prat you aren't half bad"
I opened my mouth to speak when she reached up and kissed me right there and then in the middle of the corridor. It was even better than the first time if that was possible, she smelt so good, and this time…she had kissed ME.
My knees started to turn to jelly; I started to feel like a right girl. Any minute now my foot was going to pop. We parted to take a breath of air, and then connected again. It was like having second helpings of the best feast to ever be served.
I was enjoying every last morsel of the kiss, it was one I never wanted to end. But then again so was the first…and that ended with disastrous consequences.
I clung onto her for dear life as we cascaded through a tunnel of love. Oh My GOODNESS James stop with all the lovey dovey crap it does NOT suit you.
And then my conscious goes and ruins the whole moment.
No…I was wrong, nothing could ruin this moment.
Nope wrong again… something could.
