Chapter 7

"What did you do?" Jasmine Adders exclaimed, spilling some hot chocolate.

On the sofa of James' and Lily's apartment sat Jasmine and Lily, curled up and drinking hot chocolate. It was a cold winters night with the wind crashing against the windows and shooting down the chimney. The fire was crackling quietly in the background and the faint sound of James in the shower. Lily had just told her good friend Jasmine what had happened earlier on.

"We just like made out," Lily said quietly. She tried not to catch her eye.

"A hem, you did a little more than make out, he like practically saw you topless!" Lily pondered over this thought.

"Imagine if he had, that would have been terrible," she shuddered after imagining this thought.

"Oh you would have loved that," Jasmine said smiling. Lily starred at her.

"Well," Lily began with a slightly pissed off tone in her voice, "Unlike you, I don't go kissing everything with two legs and a pe-"

"Ok, Ok, I get your point no need to stress out, I'm just saying James is a very experienced guy and he will probably want that out of you," She said sipping her cocoa. Lily froze. She sat there, letting her thoughts run away with her.

What if he does want that, I'm not ready for that. What if he thinks I'm like some unexperienced lesbian or something. What if he like rapes me or something like that. Oh no oh no oh no.

"Earth to Lily," came a voice, diverting her from her thoughts. Jasmine was now standing up, stretching her arms above her head, "I've got to be off now, I promised Miles I would help him with his homework,"

"Oh" Lily said, scared at the new possible thoughts of what James would do to her once it was just the two of them, "Bye then," Jasmine walked over to the entrance and left, leaving a scared Lily on the sofa, wondering what to do.

After a minute of deep thinking, she decided there was only one thing for it. She had to confront him and tell him exactly what she thought. She stood and took a deep breath, and began the long trudge to the bed chamber of the infamous James Potter, a place she would have laughed at if you had told her a week ago she would end up there. She took each step very carefully, planning out in her head what she was going to say to him. She soon found herself outside the door. She closed her eyes, put her hand on the handle and entered.

She opened her eyes and quickly wished she had not. Standing in front of her was a wet, tall, muscular, naked character that was James, standing about a foot away from her.

She Screamed and through her arms over her eyes, spinning round to face the other way. James made a weird hight pitched sound and grabbed the nearest object to him, a LP cover for the wizard band named 'Merlin's Boxers' and put it in front of his groin to try and contain a bit of dignity.

"Lily!"he Practically shouted at the silhouette that was his girlfriend, "I wasn't really expecting company,"

"Can you just put something on!"

Lil shouted back.

James darted about trying to find clothes. He managed to put his quidditch robes on before turning to face Lily again.

"Um...I'm dressed," he said awkwardly. Lily turned round cautiously, making sure he was actually dressed. Her face was the color of a tomato and clashed terribly with her hair. Together they stood there awkwardly starred at anything except the other person.

"Maybe I should knock next time," Lily said quietly into the silence of the room.

James nodded in agreement, "I think that would be wise," he laughed, "Have fun with Jasmine?"

"Yeah, we had cocoa and she was telling me about how Sirius is going out with Hannah Jamison and then-" She stopped remembering why she had come up here in the first place. She tried to find the correct words for what she was about to say.

"Then..." James said slowly.

"I walked in on you not really wearing much...or anything for that matter," she added quietly.

"Ah yes, that," he said darkly, "Well, I wish it was the other way round but you can't always win," he added cheerfully. Lily threw him a very dark look.

"Or not," she said with a bit of annoyance in her voice. James smiled and walked over to her and put his hands on her waist.

"You like what you saw?" he asked her with a cheeky grin on his face. Lily frowned before throwing her head back.

"Um, well you are getting a bit chubby around the stomach and our calf's look fat," Lily said sarcastically. James looked offended. He put his hands on his own waist now and put his hips to one side.

"You calling me fat girlfriend?" he said in a girl's voice. Lily laughed. James then turned to the side and stuck his bum out, "You think my arse looks big in this?" Lily walked over and sat on the side of the bed with a serious expression on her face.

"Actually there is a reason I'm here," she told him, not looking at his face, but at her feet. James knew she wanted to talk about something serious so he took a deep breath and walked over to the bed and sat down beside her. He put his arm around her waist.

"Whats wrong huh?" he asked her quietly. She just sat there staring at her feet. James ran his hand up and down her back.

"Come on Lily, you know you can tell me, was it something I did?" he said, beginning to sound anxious.

"No," she said quietly. James wracked his mind to think what might be up.

"Is it about earlier?" He asked. Lily froze. James had hit something.

"Sort of, yeah," she said, even quieter still. James took another deep breath.

"Do you regret it or something?" he asked her. She shook her head.

"I was something Jasmine said," She said, bowing her head lower. James went and sat on the ground in front of Lily and put his hands on her knees.

"Honey, what did she say?" he asked her. She just shook her head.

"I don't want to do that, not yet," she said in a voice James could just hear. He was so lost.

"Do what?"

"What you want to do," He was so completely lost.

"Lily," he said solemnly, "You really are not making sense," She looked up at him, seeing the concerned look in his eyes.

"Jasmine said you would take advantage of me, as you are really experienced and have had lots of girls," she said all at once, really quickly. She looked at his face, trying to work out how he would react. He just looked at her. After about ten seconds, he shook his head.

"Oh Lily Lily Lily," he said, still shaking his head, "I would never do that to you,"

"I was just scared because you have like had sex with hundreds of people and I'm still a virgin and you would expect me to do all this crazy stuff when I'm really not ready," she said, going back to stare at her feet, feeling embarrassed about her lack of experience for the first time. James put his index finger on her chin and raised her face so it was level to his.

"Lily, I would never ever ever pressure you into doing something against your will, and i would never want to hurt you like that and I'm sorry you ever thought other," he said, as solemn as a priest at a funeral. He leaned forward and kissed the end of her nose and put his forehead against hers.

"Understand?" he added after a pause. She nodded before resting her head on his shoulder.

"Sorry James," she said in a muffled voice into his shoulder.

"It's okay baby," he said back, " Shall we head down to the sitting room as i think Sirius is down there and he might steel all our food," she groaned into his shoulder.

"I can't be arsed to walk down," she said lazily.

"Ah ha," he announced, "then Miss Evans, I shall carry you," he stood up and put his arms out for her. She starred at them.

"You being serious?" she inquired. He nodded and lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and put her head on his shoulder again. He carried her over to the door and walked down to the sitting room, trying to balance this comforting weight. He walked into the sitting room to find his three best friends standing or sitting about, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.

"Why can't people carry me about?" Sirius asked, once spotting Lily and James. Remus and Peter also spun around.

"Because you are a sodding great lump," Lily said from behind James. James smirked. Sirius Scowled.

"Oh I love you too, " he replied. He suddenly spotted a piece of paper and started to read. James placed Lily carefully down on the sofa and sat down beside her.

"So, whats been going on?" James asked Remus, who sat down beside him.

"Well, It's not been the same without you mate, Sirius got asked out and I'm just not the same at giving him tips for kissing and how to get them in bed, am I Sirius?" Sirius did not reply, as he was animatedly reading something.

"I never knew defense against the dark arts was all that great," Lily said to Sirius.

Sirius laughed, "Who has the quick quill?" he asked James an Lily with a slightly amuse look on his face.

"I do," Lily replied, " Why do you ask?"

"I suggest you don't make out when it is still active, you could create some erotic fiction here," Sirius said, smirking.

"What?" Lily replied, slightly confused. James looked bemused too.

"Ok, Basically our whole shindig on the sofa has been written down here with a quick quill," Sirius said. James raised his eyebrows in shock. Lily went bright red.

"If you don't give that back right now-," James said threateningly, standing up.

"Make me," Sirius said playfully. James lunged over the sofa towards Sirius and grabbed his knees. Sirius went crashing towards the ground. Lily watched with a slightly concerned look on her face, but mostly embarrassed and Remus just watched with amusement.

James grabbed the piece of paper out of Sirius's hands an threw it onto the fire. Sirius Frowned at who was lying beside him.

"Aww man, I was enjoying that," Sirius said, finally defeated. James frowned at him.

" Go make our own you asshole," James said back. Sirius nodded in agreement.

"I was thinking a more erotic thing, like handcuffs and Whipped cream," Sirius thought out loud. James hit him on the back of the head. Sirius rubbed it. Remus sighed loudly. Lily wished she was somewhere else.

"Nice to see you guys have matured in your years at Hogwarts," Lily said matter of factly.

"Oh, come on Evans," Sirius fought back, " Are we not aloud to comment on your fabulous kissing skills?" James hit Sirius on the back of the head again.

"Ouch, will you stop hitting me, and why are you wearing just your Quidditch gear?" he asked him, suddenly noticing James' lack of clothing. Lily went read again. James noticed this an chuckled slightly.

"Oh my dear friend, that is a story for me to tell you when I am incredibly drunk," he replied, not wanting to embarrass Lily. He jumped over the back of the sofa and cuddled up beside Lily again, who dug her face in his shoulder. Sirius went over and lounged in front of the fire place an Remus sat nearby him. Peter must have left in all this confusion.

"When I'm old married to some beautiful woman, I want a really big fireplace which I can o all sorts of naughty things in front of," Sirius said, starring into the fireplace, "And I want 3 kids,"

"I want my own library," Remus said.

"And a Quidditch pitch," Sirius added., "so i could train my kids to be awesome beaters with little six pacs, ha ha," he laughed at his own genius. Remus frowned.

"I want kids who are really opinionated and relaxed," Remus said. Sirius laughed.

"I imagine what our kids will be like," James thought out loud.

"Thats easy," Sirius said, " I will have the best kids over, Remus will have mutant werewolf children an James will have Lily's babies, it's as simple as that," Lily smile into James' Shoulder at this comment. James would make a pretty good father to my children as he is so much fun and goo at fooling about she thought and we could live in a big house in the countryside with swings and lots of garden and a lake with a boat. She was completely caught up in her own words when she heard James mention sex. Her eyes snapped open an she removed her head from his shoulder.

"Where do you think the best place ever to have sex would be?" James asked his fellow marauders. Remus hummed loudly as Sirius replied instantly.

"In the train,"

"Why in that skanky place?" James asked him.

"Vibrations," He replied, "What about you Moony mate huh?"

Remus pondered over this thought. "Wedding night," he replied. Sirius looked unimpressed.

"God you are nearly as dull as Peter, what about you Jamsie boy?" He asked, turning to his best friend.

"I don't know, something to do with water probably, like in a bath," James said. He suddenly felt Lily tense up beside him and decided it was a good time to move the conversation on.

"But anyway, Whats is everyone up to tonight?" James asked, he squeezed Lily's hands in a reassuring way.

"Full Moon," Sirius replied, looking at James annoyed, "But someone is locked is locked up in a room with her new found fuck buddy and can't come" He glared at James. Lily was confused.

"What?" she asked, "Am I missing something?"

The three boys looked at each other worriedly. James bit his look, Sirius pouted and Remus went red. There was an awkward silence for a bit.

"I'll take that as a yes then," Lily said slowly, breaking the silence.

"It's complicated and you would flip if you found out," James told her, kissing her hand and hoping she would be understanding. She just sat there quietly thinking.

"Well on the discussion of moons, I think we are going to have to go find our skulking friend Peter for tonight," Sirius said, standing up and stretching. Remus stood up as well.

"Thanks guys, we'll see you soon," He said, following Sirius out of the room, who was singing Pinball Wizard to himself. Once they had left, James kissed the top of Lily's head.

"James," she began.

"Yeah?" He replied, sounding slightly anxious.

"Are you a werewolf?" she asked him, letting go of his hand. James was very quiet for a moment, then all of a sudden, he burst out laughing.

"Oh Silly Silly Lily," he laughed. She sat up and faced him. He just sat there and laughed.

"What?" she said, sounding peeved.

"I'm not a werewolf, don't worry Lily,"

"Then what was all that about Full Moon?" She asked, getting even more annoyed. He thought for a moment.

"Can you keep a secret Lily?" He asked her, very seriously. She nodded.

"Well, Remus is a werewolf and when we found out, Sirius, Peter and I, we decided to help him out a bit, so in our fifth year, we became full Animagi," Lily starred at him in complete shock.

"You...you...you can't be," she spluttered out.

"Why not?" he replied.

"Because you aren't in any of the registers,"

"We did it illegally," he replied, not looking at her face. Her eyes widened as far as they could.

"James, are you being serious?" he nodded, "what happens if you are found out, or hurt, or get killed or get bitten or something," she blurted out all at once.

"I try not think about that, I just do it to keep Remus company, as a friend," he said quietly. He looked up at her. She leaned forward and hugged him.

"I have to admit that is crazy but also very sweet," she said, resting her head on is shoulder, hitting his bare chest as the robe had come slightly loose.

"I am crazy, you have to learn that," he smiled, crossing his eyes. Lily laughed at him. He hugged her close to him. They sat like that for a long time, just sapping up all the greatness in the relationship.

"You gonna let go anytime soon?" Lily asked.

"Nope," He replied, "but I'm feeling hungry,"he said, standing up and carrying her. Her legs dangled beneath her.

"Dude, I can't cook, we have already been through this and-" she was interrupted by James.

"Quit with the yabbering Lil's, I can find you other things to do,"

"And what are you suggesting?" she asked him, not fully liking the sound of this plan.

"Well, you could undress and cover yourself in chocolate and...OUCH" he had just been hit on the back of his head. Lily was only slightly pissed off.

"I think you're more likely to do that then me," she said. James grinned at her.

"Well," he said, "If you are asking-FEK,"he rubbed the back of his head where Lily had just hit it again. He put her down. She stood with her hands on her hips and an unimpressed look on her face.

"Please don't stand like that Lily, you remind me of my mother," James said.

"Do you want to be hit again James, cause you are heading the right way," she said, coming dangerously close to him. He put his hands in the air.

"Ok, Ok, white flag goes up from team Potter," he said defensively. Lily put her hands on his and kissed him.

"You gonna make me a nice meal then?" she asked him with a cheeky grin on her face. James put his nose on hers.

"Maybe.."

"If you don't you firstly won't get food and secondly,you will have no chocolate surprise," she said. He wriggled his eyebrows.

"Better get cooking Huh?" she nodded back, before heading off and starting to set the table.
