It was dark. The only dim light coming from the black candles was making shadows dance mysteriously on the walls. There was no sound except for her silent footsteps. She was pacing in the middle of the hallway right outside the Slytherin common room. She couldn't help feeling nervous and scared. How could she let this happen? She bit her lip as she tried to think. She couldn't do this. She just couldn't! Oh, but she can't stand up to him, either!...She can try. Yes, she'll stand up to him! She won't do this. Lily stopped pacing and turned toward the Slytherin common room and started walking towards it. Suddenly, just as she was getting close to the entrance, the cut on the side of her body tore open and started bleeding again. She put her hand against it and fell to the floor. The throbbing pain spread to her whole body. She let out a scream, pressing her hand tighter on the cut. Then, it stopped. Carefully, she removed her hand. The cut stopped bleeding and the blood itself was gone. She only kept lying on the floor for a few more seconds before slowly getting up. She wiped her tears away, took a deep breath and started marching down the hall to meet Harry.


The door to the room of requirement appeared silently in front of Lily as she passed by the spot on the wall a third time. She turned the knob and opened it just a bit.

"Harry?" She whispered.

"Lily!" The door opened completely. Harry was standing in the door way wearing nothing but his boxers. "I thought you weren't going to make it." He said as he pulled Lily into the room, closing the door behind her. The room was completely dark except for a few candles scattered around a comfortable looking bed. Harry came up behind Lily and started kissing her neck.

"I'm really happy we're doing this." He said, turning Lily around to face him.

"Yeah…" She said slowly, "Me too…"


Sweat rolled down their bare backs. She gripped the sheets tightly as he pressed against her again. The movement became fast and repetitive. She bit her lip but there was no holding back the moan. As it got more and more intense, their breathing got faster. He held her hips. She pulled his hair. He ran his hands down her body. She could feel that strong, irresistible feeling inside her, starting to come out. She now fastened her hands on his back. She closed her eyes as she felt it get closer. He went faster. Closer and closer it got. Everything was so intense. Her nails dug into his back. She could feel his flesh rip and heard him scream. She screamed too as it finally came. Then, it was over. She lay motionless on the stained sheets, breathing fast. He got up and tried to catch his breath. When he was steady again, he climbed onto the bed. She felt him wrap the sheets around her and pull her closer, but she dare not move or open her eyes. He placed his arms around her carefully. A few seconds later they were both asleep.
