Virgin Lily

Chapter 21: The Truth

Ok sorry I didn't update as I said I was but I have my GCSE in less than two months and I really need the grades, hence the reason I haven't been updating. Sorry I am trying to update as soon as possible.

Previously.

James and Lily were the only ones left in the common room, just as James had wanted it.
"Ready to go James?" Lily asked.
"As I'll ever be, Ready to go Flower?" he replied.
"Flower? That's what my dad calls me," Lily laughed.
"Ok, won't call you that again." James replied.
"Uh huh defiantly, unless you want me to think of you as me dad" She laughed at his facial reaction.
"Oh no, I don't want that," James moved closer, "I have a surprise for your after the ball".
"Cant I have it now" Lily pouted.
"No you have to wait," James kissed her lightly, "Be patient".
Lily laughed and pulled away, "Come along Lover Boy".

They both left the common room with theirs arms around each other, and stealing kisses every so often. Making their way to ball, they must have collided with at least three different couples, while being followed.

Continued.

"…The great hall was decorated beautiful, from head to toe it was dressed in icicles. And the ceiling looked as if it was snowing…" Professor Meyers told the children around her.

"Sounds like the Yule Ball," One-sixth year Griffendor stated.

"Yes it did resemble the Yule Ball," the Professor said out loud to herself.

"How do you know what the Yule Ball looked like? You didn't go?" Another sixth-year asked.

"I was invited actually" She stated simply.

"Enough about the Yule Ball already" Hermione Granger shouted above the conversation of the Yule Ball, "Who was following them, Professor?"

"You'll fine out later, now the ball"

While the ball was in full swing, outside in the courtyard three people were arguing quietly but still heated.

"What do you mean, you cant do it?" One voice, which was female, whispered.

"I can not do it to them, they are my friends" another voice whispered, which was male.

"Oh for fuck sake Peter you are not backing out now, everything is set up! Back me up Darren!" The female voice shouted.

"Not so loud, someone might hear you moron!" Darren spoke for the first time.

"I can not do it! They wont ever trust me again," Peter whimpered under the pressure.

"Fine, go, we don't need you anymore." The girls voice stiffly replied.

"But…Carly you're my date" Peter asked.

"Oh please I used you, you were used Peter now shoo, before I really get mad" Carly replied wickedly.

As Peter walked away, Carly start to breathe heavily on the account of Peter backing out of their deal at the last minute.

"What are we going to do now?" Darren asked.

"Still go ahead." Was all Carly said.

"But how?" Darren asked confused.

"Simple, we have all we need and we just have to do it sooner rather than later before the rat tells anyone" Carly walked off once she had finished leaving a surprised Darren behind her.

Meanwhile in the great hall Sirius was still trying to get his two dates to kiss.

"Come on, please?" Sirius begged.

"We are not kissing for goodness sake!" Maggie shouted at Sirius, making a few students look over.

"Fine, no need to make a scene" Sirius grumbled as he sat dejectedly to the side.

James and Lily both laugh at Sirius as he grumbled about girls.

On the dance floor, Remus and Marcy were dancing close to each other, it was cute too see that Remus could finally let loose and have some fun. Each of them looked comfortable in each other arms like they had never been apart. Lily gazed over at the dance floor, as she did James caught her looking and smiled.

"Would you like to dance?" James asked Lily and held out his hand towards her.

"I cant" Lily whispered to him.

"You cant? What do you mean? Are you stuck to the chair or floor?" James joked.

"This is not a joke James," Lily sighed and carried on, "I can't dance".

"Lily stop lying" James looked at Lily's face and his cheeky smile fell from his face, "You really cannot dance"

"That's what I said!" Lily told him.

"Well just follow my lead, and if you step on my feet it doesn't matter" James smiled kindly at her and held out his hand again.

"You are going to regret this," Lily said as she took his hand.

James lead Lily to the middle of the floor just as a new song came on, James put Lily's arm around his neck and put his around her waist.

"Just follow me" Was all James said to her.

Lily started to dance with him, but she kept looking down at her feet making sure she didn't step on his feet. James chuckled when he saw this.

"Lily stop looking down," James told her and lifted her chin upwards so he was looking directly into his eyes, "and look here."

Lily and James continued to look into each other's eyes throughout the dance, and Lily didn't step on James feet once.

Remus and Marcy had joined Sirius and his two dates sometime ago and they were watching James and Lily dance together, both with a worrying look on their face.

"What is he going to do?" Sirius asked.

"I don't know, you said the bet was off, lets hope he doesn't do anything deplorable," Remus told Sirius.

"What have I told you about using big words?" Sirius asked.

Remus laughed, "It means terrible"

"Thank you, come on I think our dates want to dance" Sirius pointed to the girls coming back from getting drinks.

"Maggie?" Sirius asked.

"Yes dearest," she replied.

"Where's Katherine?" Sirius asked looking around.

"Oh she found some Ravenclaw that wanted to dance." Maggie told him.

"But she's my date!" Sirius stated.

"Oh fine I see then forget about me!" Maggie shouted.

"That's not what I meant Mags" Sirius said apologetically.

"Dance with me, and I will think about it." Maggie smiled at Sirius.

"Come on Mags" Sirius laughed.

"What's with the Mags?" Maggie asked as they walked to the dance floor.

Marcy laughed at her friends, and looked at Remus and then nodded towards the dance floor, he held out his hand and led her out to the dance floor.

Darren was behind the main stage and was waiting for his signal from Carly; he was watching what was going on around him, waiting.

"Lily?" James whispered.

"Yes James?" She replied.

"After this dance I need you to come somewhere with me for a moment, please?" James asked.

"Sure, but what's so important?" She asked.

"You'll find out, I promise" James smiled as Lily laid her head on James shoulder.

James looked over at Sirius to find him staring at him and looking from Lily to him in a suggestive way.

As the song ended James moved his way through the crowd holding Lily's hand until he came to the doors leading out of the hall, he stopped and looked at Lily.
"James, where are we going?" Lily asked with laughter in her voice.
"Just outside for a moment" James told her.

Meanwhile inside Carly saw that James was leading Lily outside and gave Darren the signal, all of a sudden the music stopped and the enchanted lights went off. Everyone inside the great hall stopped what they were doing and looked around, all of a sudden images started to appear on the stage like a show.

James looked around and saw Lily watching what was going on.

That's when he saw himself, Sirius and Remus all sitting in the common room just before they struck the deal.

"Fine I do you a deal Prongs ol' Buddy" Sirius said in an old English way, "If you can get laid by Lily Evans by 21st of December I will get up in front of everyone with nothing on with only a ball in front of my three piece suit and will state my love for that weird girl who follows me around."

"Deal" James said with his hand out

Everyone in the whole went into shock each person turning around to face Lily and James who were at the entrance at the hall, Lily face went pale and tears started to form in her eyes, James just stood still and watched as everything unfolded in front of his eyes.
More images came onto the screen this time it was James and Lily's first kiss.

"Lily couldn't believe it she was kissing James Potter! And she loved it!

James was in heaven. He was kissing his dream girl, the girl he had been after since first year. This is was bliss.

Neither one of them could remember who actually took the kiss a step further, but who it was didn't matter because neither one fought against it. Instead they were pulling each other closer.

It was James who broke away first.

"Well." Lily was the first to speak. The remained very close to each other.

"Err that was unexpected" James said, unsure of what Lily was going to do.

"Yes, but it was good" Lily added with a seductive smile.

"Yeah, I agree but I need another erm try to see if it's true or not" James leaned back to Lily, as he did Lily pulled his collar to pull him down to her level. They continued to kiss like before, however this time Lily was more in control than James.

Lily couldn't believe what she was seeing all this was a bet, everything with James, all the romance she though she was real. Before she could say anything another scene came up, this time it was with just her and James.

James had reached her underwear and was slowly teasing her over it.

"Hmm, James." Lily moaned without even realising it. As he rubbed and teased she started to buck her hips towards him, wanting more.

James smiled to himself as he reached inside of her underwear and slowly played with her. He couldn't help but chuckle, not only had he got into Lily's underwear, she was moaning for more, and he couldn't say no to a lady.

Lily was in heaven, James touching her, teasing her, and rubbing her was the best feeling she had ever experienced.

When Lily had reached her climax, she screamed James name, much to his delight. James couldn't help but laugh.

She couldn't believe it, everyone was looking at her and the tears were welling up in her eyes.
James had caused all of this.
One last scene appeared.

It's about this bet, I know tonight is the last night…" Sirius started.

"Don't worry I will win its all sorted. I have a room set up, romantic music, candles, the whole thing", James checked his appearance and winked at himself.

"That's not what I mean, I want to call the bet off" Sirius simple stated.

"Cant back out unless you want to pay the consequences? And we all know that you don't like that girl", James laughed it off.

"I am being serious" Sirius looked straight at James.

"I know your Sirius, that joke is getting old," James laughed and looked at Sirius and stopped laughing.

"For fuck sake, I know you have fucking fallen for Evans" Sirius shouted and hit James around the head.

"What are you on about? Evans? Lily! Are you a moron, this is just a fucking bet simple as that!" James whirled around to walk out the door, to be confronted by a pair of brown eyes, which belonged to Remus.

Everything went black again and then the lights turned back on, and everyone was staring at James and Lily who were both still by the door. Lily looked at James and he could see that tears were falling freely down her face.

"I was a bet?" Lily asked quietly, breaking the uncomfortable silence.
"Lily please let me explain" James started.

"You don't need to explain anything you fucking arsehole, you used me and you were going to win a bet!" Lily shouted.

"Lily.." James tried to speak.

"Don't you dare call me Lily, your sick all that happened between us was a lie and I let myself fall for it? I was falling in love with you and then you turn out to be a lying son of a bitch!" Lily was crying hysterically.

"Lily please it was a bet at first but once I got to know you…" James started but was cut off.

"You didn't stop the bet did you? You were going to sleep with me and then dump me I should have listen to everyone, you are a fucking asshole, I hate you James Harold Potter, and I wish you were dead!" Lily shouted, her hair falling and framing her face.

"You don't mean that..." James said quietly.

"Don't I? How do you know what I think, or was that another part of your bet to get inside my mind."? Lily shouted but then lowered her voice, "I hate you Potter, never talk to me again, and you are dead to me"

Lily walked out of the room and all that was heard was the sound of her heel across the floor. James stood still in the same place, and didn't move until Sirius and Remus both spoke up.

"Come on everyone move it! The show is over!" Sirius shouted.

"James, lets get you out of here" Remus lead James out of the great hall, and back to the sixth year dorms.

Lily looked at herself in the mirror and watched as tears fell down like the rain outside the window. She hated herself for falling in love with James, no Potter; she hated herself even more for hating him.

"Lily?" A voice came from the door.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"Maggie" the voice replied.

Maggie walked into the dorm and smiled sadly at Lily and saw that she was still crying and rushed across the room and hugged her as tightly as she could and let her sob into her shoulder, while letting a few stray tears out herself.

"I…I cant believe how stupid I was," Lily sobbed.

"You were not stupid, it was just love, it always hurts" she told her.

"I hate myself," Lily told Maggie.

"You shouldn't" Maggie told her and let go of Lily and walked into the bathroom and came back out with tissue in her hand.

"I hate myself for loving him, even after all he has done," Lily told her as she let Maggie wipe her tears away, "I hate him."

"And you still love him right?" Maggie asked, and all she got as an answer was a nod, "Don't worry, the pain will go soon."
Maggie carried on helping Lily get ready for bed and once she was asleep she went downstairs.

At the same time James was sitting on his bed with no expression on his face just sitting there looking blankly at the wall.

"James are you going to talk" Sirius asked.

"No" James quietly said, "I was so stupid."

Sirius laughed and said, "I could have told you that"

"Her face when she found out, it was so painful watching how disgusting I was," James talked to no one in particular just talking his thoughts out loud.

"James, did you love her?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, I wasn't going to have sex with her you know, I was going to tell her everything and hope for the best, hell I wasn't even going to expect a kiss, I just wanted the truth out." James told Sirius.

"James, go to bed and sleep" Sirius told James.

Sirius walked out of the room and as he looked back he could see that James was crying to himself, letting stray tears escape and not doing anything to stop them.
He walked downstairs and found Remus, Katherine, Marcy and Maggie all sitting down waiting for him; he walked over and shook his head.

"He is destroyed" Sirius said simply.

"So is Lily" Maggie told everyone.

"We tried to warn him." Remus spoke softly as Marcy head rested her head on his shoulder.

"Poor Lily, she couldn't stop crying and she still loves him." Maggie sighed.

"And James was going to confess everything, I don't know what to do for once." Sirius admitted defeat.

All of them looked at each other and silence over took them; each of them knew that James and Lily's life were destroyed through one inconsiderate bet.
James chose love.
Lily chose love.
But both ended up with

There you go everyone my update. There is one more chapter left and that's it. I was thinking about a sequel I need your opinions more than ever now. So leave me a review, and if anyone could give me any websites where I could add this story, thanks.
