Chapter 9
It was late on Saturday morning before the girls even thought about getting out of bed. During the short time that the girls had been asleep a large storm had blown in and nobody could get outside to do anything.
"Lily, Hey Earth to Evans" Lily mumbled and rolled over forgetting that she had slept on the edge of the bed, Lily screamed and fell off the side of the bed and hit the floor with a loud thump.
Both Christy and Rachel were too busy laughing to help Lily out of her tangle of blankets and left her to deal with it her self.
"You guys are not helping" A disgruntled Lily said as she finally pulled the blankets off her feet in a kicking motion, as well as kicking the bed.
"OW"
"Geese Lil's let me give you a hand" Rachel bent down and helped Lily to her feet.
"What time is it" Lily mumbled as she sat back down on her bed rubbing her toe.
"Nearly 12" Christy said as she played with a hole in her doona cover.
"Shit did I really sleep that long" Lily said sounding surprised with her self.
"Nar were just messing with you, it's only 10 and we only just got up to," Rachel said as she stifled a soft giggle.
"Well do you think anyone saw us?" Lily said as the pain in her foot slowly subsided.
"They couldn't off, it was to late and nobody in their right mind would sleep next to the fire all night"
"Yeah I suppose your right" Lily said as she gave her throbbing foot one last massaged before rearranging her self so she was sitting cross legged.
"So what is the plan today girls" Rachel said as she got up to look out of the window.
"Well I think going out onto the grounds is a big No, especially with all this rain," Rachel said as an after thought as she looked out of the window.
"Aha that's were your wrong my young friend" Christy said as she stood up and walked over to the window.
"Chris what are you talking about" Lily said in a board tone.
"Sirius" Christy said triumphantly
"Oh, so you guys aren't fighting any more" Lily said all ready knowing the answer.
"Oh Shit"
Lily rolled her eyes, Christy wasn't known for her good memory or her faith in people.
"If your talking about that nifty little map that Sirius told you he has it isn't his" Lily said as she laid back down on her bed.
"What do you mean isn't his, and how did you know about that"
"How the hell do you think me and James snuck off all those times?" Lily said in her board voice again. "Oh that and his invisibility cloak".
"James has an invisibility cloak," Rachel said in Awe.
"Ok lady's back on track how the hell are we going to get out of here if it's not a Hogsmeade weekend and if it's raining" Said Christy as if this was an obvious question.
"Well that's easy we'll just get Lily to go in to the boys dorm and ask James for it I'm sure he wouldn't mind"
Lily sat bolt up right, over her dead body would she ever be seen in that dorm again.
"Two problems with that 1) Lily's head girl and if she was caught in there without a reason her head girl stature would be taken off her and 2) SHE WOULDN'T TOUCH JAMES POTTER WITH A TENFOOT BARGE POLE" Christy finished her chest heaving.
Lily and Rachel were so shocked by this sudden out burst that Lily fell back of the bed again this time hitting her head on the floor and Rachel fell down beside her.
"Gees Chris it was only a suggestion" Rachel said with a tears starting to form at the side of her eyes.
"Rachel you need to start thinking me and Lily aren't going to be here very much longer and-
"Hold the phone" Lily said suddenly snapping back to reality "What do you mean me and Lily" Lily said looking at Christy.
"I was actually going to wait to tell you but now that I've let slip I have to tell you right" Both of the girls nodded and waited for her answer.
"Well as you guys both know I've only stayed at school because of you two and when I found out that Lily was pregnant I started looking for jobs or internships and last week I got a reply from the Ministry of Magic saying that there is an opening for medium trained students to enter the Auror field because there lacking them at the moment due to them being killed off, so I start as soon as I leave school and now I can look after you and the baby as well as starting the career that I wont"
Rachel stared in shock she wasn't only going to loose one friend she was going to loose two.
"What the hell do you mean your leaving" Rachel burst out.
"Rach just listen" Christy said walking over and squatting in front of Rachel. "We both know that Quidditch is really important to you at the moment and that you really love it here"
"Hold on, What do you mean We" Lily said suddenly clicking to the conversation.
"Well what I mean is me and Li-
"Oh alright I had the idea it was all me" Christy shouted seeing the look on Lily's face.
"So you guys think it's alright that because I'm on the Quidditch team that both of you can just pack up and leave"
"No Rach that's not what I'm saying, it's just that I hate it here and I would rather be out there helping the community than wasting my time here"
"And someone has to have my head girlship don't they" Lily said quietly.
Rachel looked up suddenly and stared those odd eyes at Lily.
"You would give the head girlship to me" She croaked.
"Course I'm not going to be giving it to some plastic bitch am I" Lily said defensively.
"Oh My God" tears poured out of Rachel's eyes as she flung her self onto Lily squashing her and pushing her off the bed.
"I promise to be the best head girl there is" Rachel sobbed as she held Lily ever closer.
"Alright guys" Christy said trying to brake the silence apart from the sobs coming from Rachel "Well I'm starving so instead of braking out of here I'm going to go and get some stuff from the kitchens and we are going to have a nice little game of Truth and Dare"
"I second that" Lily said as she pried Rachel off her "Hey Chris can you get some cookies and cream ice cream please".
As Christy through on some clothes over her pyjamas and left she could still hear the sobs of Rachel through the door, Christy smiled to herself she new that Rachel would be fine she always was and from the rumours going around she was going strong with some guy at Hogwarts, Christy made a mental note to ask her that if she chose Truth.
As Christy made her way down to the kitchens she saw several people going in the opposite direction but other then that Christy noticed the abnormal silence, normally the Marauder's would be terrorising some poor unfortunate first years or Snape, Christy shrugged it off she assumed that because it was raining that they had given up.
"Finally" Christy thought to her self as she tickled the pear in the portrait.
"I as starting to freeze my tits off" Christy said to her self.
As Christy walked in to the warm kitchen she froze, he was the last person that she expected to be in the kitchens at this hour of the morning and he was the last person that she wanted to see.
"James come on man she can't hate you can she" Sirius said as he sat down next to James.
"Well it sure looks like it" James said in a very defeated voice.
"Well did she give you any clue as to why she hates you" Sirius said
"No she just said that she would doesn't know what possessed me to do that to her but she would date a thousand Greg's before she would date me again" James sighed and rolled over he didn't want his friends to see him like this.
"Don't stress to much man I'll go and get us something from the kitchens and we can have a little party or a wallow in self pity but either is good" Sirius said as he jumped up and walked to the door.
"I'll go with you too," Peter said as he ran after Sirius.
"Never miss a chance to feed your face do you Wormtail" Sirius said as he clapped a hand on Peter's back as they left.
"She knows doesn't she" James said quietly.
Remus new this was coming by the way that James was acting.
"She sure does" Remus said quietly.
"Why am I so stupid if I had only let you talk to her maybe we would be talking still and this hole stupid thing would just blow over, god I'm the biggest git there is" James hit himself in the forehead.
"Curiosity isn't a sin Prongs" Remus said
"Yeah but it sure does get you into a lot of trouble" James sighed. At that point both Peter and Sirius came back with nothing and were panting.
"What the hell is wrong with you two" Remus said looking at the two boys.
"God dam Rachel's in a good mood and she wants to talk to some one so we just ran for it" Sirius said still panting.
"So I take it there isn't any food" James said looking disappointed.
"Well No Prongs not after-
Sirius didn't get to finish what he was saying because at that point a girl rushed into the room.
Sirius and Peter were pushed out of the door as Christy through herself onto James. Sirius looked violated as Christy was clinging on James, James through his arms up as Christy hung there panting and sobbing.
"You slept with her," Sirius blurted out as he saw Christy's chest heaving.
"No mate I don't even know what she is doing here" James said trying to get up but Christy held him there.
All Sirius could do was point at Christy
"You know what she means to me and you screwed her," Sirius said his words choking under pressure.
"No man I swear I got no idea what she is doing here and-
"He's-here" Christy panted as she stayed close to James.
"What" James said as he looked down at Christy.
"He's-here-James-I-saw-him-in-the-kitchens" Christy panted "I-ran-Lily-need-protect-Greg" James eyes widened in shock, he looked up at Remus who was already getting to his feet, he looked over at Sirius who stopped talking and had his wand out already.
"Where's Lily now" James said fear starting to creep into his voice.
"Girls-dorm" Christy said as she fought for breath.
"Wormtail take Christy to the Room of Requirement, walk past three times thinking I need some where to hide so he wont find us, once a door appears put our code on the wall and go in side, stay there until we come and do not open the door for anyone else do you understand me, Padfoot, Mooney come with me" James stood up and let Peter take Christy who was too exhausted to object.
James, Remus and Sirius left the common room with their wands at the ready and a look of concern on their faces. Many people looked at the tri but were to intimidated to say anything.
"Gees how long dos it take to get some ice cream" Lily moaned, she was pregnant and starving and she was desperate.
"Hey Lil's what you doing" Rachel came bounding back into the room and sat down next to Lily.
"Are nothing much just waiting, how long does it take" "She's here, She's here" Lily bounded off the bed and ran to the door but stopped dead in her tracks as the boys cam into the room.
"What the-
"Lily we need to get you out of here now" James rushed forward and made to grab Lily's arm but Lily pulled away before he could grab it.
"Lily please not now, you can go back to hating me later this is really important"
For about a second Lily considered telling them all to Bugger Off, but then she saw the pleading look on James face, Remus holding Rachel protectively and Sirius standing watch at the door but it was only when that ear splitting scream reached her ears that Lily really took them seriously.
"James-
"Lil's not now we have to go" James grabbed Lily's arm and pulled her protectively into his arms.
"Accio Invisibility Cloak" James cloak sawed into his out stretched hands and he through it over Lily, him self, Remus, Rachel and Sirius.
The site that met the group was one that Lily hoped she would never see. In the middle of the Gryffindor common room stood non other than Greg Potter and every chair, table and bookshelf had been turned over in the attempt to find some one.
Lily shook, she couldn't help herself, Greg scared her above any body else.
Lily felt James tighten his grip on her and the group moved closer together.
As the group slowly moved around the edge of the common room they could hear Greg cursing and swearing under his breath.
"When I find her, she is so dead"
"Can't wait to take him apart, he's no family of mine"
As the group got to the portrait hole Lily found the flaw in there plain, how the hell were they all going to get through with out him noticing.
"Alright everybody once the door opens we can get out and then run like made to the Room of Requirement, Mooney stay with Rachel, Padfoot your on your own and Lily your with me" everybody nodded
James counted to three under his breath before sliding his hand out from under the cloak and pushing the door open enough for two people to slip through.
Remus and Rachel slipped out and ran up the corridor, Sirius slipped out and gave a curt nod before running in the opposite direction.
Lily gave James one fleeting glance and slowly slipping out of the cloak she stepped out of the portrait hole, every thing was going so well until Lily's foot got stuck on the cloak and pulled it off James.
Lily stared in horror as Greg turned round and stared at the spot where Lily and James had just materialized, Lily froze she had just given away where James and her were and non of her muscles would work, as Greg started towards them he pulled out his wand.
James gasped in horror, he didn't think, he grabbed Lily and pulled her out of the portrait hole, before either of them new it they were hurtling up the corridor running for there life's. Lily looked over at James as he held her hand and saw the look of concentration on his face.
If only he didn't make me so mad
Lily thought as she ran faster to keep up with James.
Suddenly Lily felt herself go sideways and before she could say anything they were running up another corridor but this one had fruit portraits all along it. Yet another turn and flight of stairs and where they came to a portrait of Barnabas The Barmy being clubbed by trolls, this is were James stopped and was franticly looking for something on the wall, he obviously found hat he was looking for because we walked in front of it three times his eyes shut in concentration and then a door appeared and before Lily could think she had been grabbed by the arm and pushed in followed by James and then the door clicked shut.
It was pitch black and all Lily could hear was her own rasping breath as she fought to control it, Lily felt around behind her and felt that familiar toned, muscled chest and smiled 'thank god the lights are off' she thought.
"Wormtail its Prongs, stag"
The lights came on in a flash, Lily had to shield her eyes from the light, and slowly her eyes came accustomed to the sudden patch of light to reveal a beautiful room with an entrance hall and two rooms coming off to the side.
In the entrance part there was a medium table with a crackling fire and two squishy couches big enough to fit two people on each, there were wool carpets all around the room and the doors leading off were hard wood with a peep hole and from the looks of it very large locks.
"Where's Padfoot and Mooney" James asked as he went over to Peter on the couch.
"Mooney and Rachel are asleep in there and Padfoot isn't back yet" Peter said as he got up to welcome James.
"What do you mean he's not back y-
Sirius burst through the doors but looked dazed and was felling around as if he couldn't see.
"It's Padfoot, dog, would one of you idiots turn the lights on" Sirius shouted still feeling around.
James pointed his wand at the wall and muttered some thing and then Sirius shielded his eyes from the light and then slowly came over to the other three.
"Gees I thought I escaped him and then I see you two running and then he's after you, so me being Mr bright spark tried to help, and then you two disappeared and then he came after me so I had to hide in a hidden passage way that had Mrs Norris behind it and then she disappeared and then I heard Filch, who caught me and tried to take me down to his office but I ditched him and ran for it and then I came up here" Sirius panted as he slumped down on the other couch.
As Lily stood there taking in what the boys were saying when she was suddenly aware that she was still in her pyjamas, Lily looked down 'shit' she thought why did she have to be so hot before she went to bed.
Lily breaks her pyjamas into two categories two be seen and not to be seen.
The two be seen were her very skimpy stuff that she bought while going out with James and the not to be seen she bought when she was going out with Greg. And tonight had to be the night she wore the skimpy black mini shorts and the black tank top that showed a little more belly than she really would have liked these idiots to see and to make matters worse this was the outfit she wore while at the Astronomy Tower, 'Double Shit' Lily thought again if I could just sneak out they might not notice.
Before Lily could contemplate sneaking off she felt her arm being taken again by those strong seeker hands and was being steered in to the large of the bedrooms.
As Lily walked into the room she herd the door shut behind her, but Lily was to busy looking at the room.
The room had a small bathroom leading off to the side and the room it self was no bigger than the bathroom in the heads common room, it had a double bed with a set of silk sheets and a mink blanket to keep the occupant warm and it hand a bedside table that had a single candle on it for light.
Lily walked over to the bed and ran a hand over the mink blanket
"Gees this bring back memories," Lily thought as she turned around to see a sallow faced James looking at her.
"Where's Christy" Lily said in a harsh tone that wasn't hers.
"Sleeping in the same room as Rachel and Remus"
"Look I need to go and see Sirius you make your self comfortable here I'll sleep out there" And with that James turned and walked out of the door and closed it leaving Lily by her self.
Under normal circumstances Lily would have been glad that James was sleeping out there but with the nights proceedings Lily felt that cold hand of fear slowly close around her throat, she felt alone and cold although the room was quiet warm.
Snap out of it Lily
This is Potter were talking about stupid, big headed Potter
Just go to sleep and wait till morning
Lily pulled the covers back and slipped in and it wasn't long before she fell into a restless sleep.
James left the room with a feeling of dread, he didn't wont to leave her but he didn't wont her to think that he was stalking her.
James walked over to the couches and looked down both Sirius and Peter were fast asleep snoring loudly.
'How the hell am I going to fall asleep with those two" James thought as the went over to the little table and sat down.
"I have to warn Dumbledore" James thought. James sat and thought for a couple of minutes before he drew out his wand and said Expecto Patronum, James Patronus sawed out of his wand and stood there expectantly.
"Go to Dumbledore and tell him the Greg is in the Castel and that we are in a room that Requires us" the Patronus nodded silently before turning and running strait though the wall leaving behind a tired looking James.
James walked over to the two couches and settled himself down on the carpet he tried to roll over to get more comfortable but with the other two snoring he had no hope in hell.
James shut his eyes thinking over what had happened but nothing made sense even Lily being so close but yet so far away didn't make any sense.
It was 12 o'clock before James realised what was making that whimpering moaning noise, firstly he thought it was Sirius with another girl but then it dawned on him that Sirius was alone on the couch next to him snoring, it was only when James stood up in the fading light that he realised that it was coming from Lily's bedroom, James made his way over to the room before opening the door quietly and slipping in.
He walked over to the bed and looked at the twisted shaking form of Lily Evans, In all his life James had never seen anybody shaking this much, James rushed to her side and tried to wake her.
"Lily, Lily"
Lily woke with a start, she was drenched in a cold sweat and was shaking uncontrollably, she felt sick and scared, she felt someone's hands close around her arms as she sat there shaking, those familiar seeker hands, Lily couldn't control her self she didn't feel like she was in her own body she felt like rubber as though nothing in the world could help her.
"James-I-please-don't-leave-me" Lily panted as she sat there.
"Lily I wouldn't leave you for all the money in the world" James whispered as he sat there trying to calm her down.
Lily started to shake again, this time she felt the bed next to her sag as someone got on it next to her, then she felt those strong arms close around her, finally Lily calmed down, she new that while she was in those arms she was safe.
"You ok" James whispered as Lily slid under the covers.
"Yeah just a little shaken that's all" Lily said as she got comfortable next to him.
"Lily I know this probably isn't the right time but can we talk for a second"
Lily new this was coming, the one time when she felt like nothing could ruin this moment and then it had to be punctured by an almost unforgivable guy, Lily new she had to talk to him but being in bed with him made her feel vulnerable but this talk had to happen wether or not she wanted it to.
"Course"
"Why wont you talk to me" James looked at the mass of curls that lay in front of him and waited.
"James I thought you of all people would know the answer to that one"
"I didn't mean to pry into your business but when the letter said it was urgent I thought that it was something that only I could handle not Remus"
"James that's were we have all our fights, you need to remember that I am a big girl and I can look after myself and it was my chose wether or not I told you about that" Lily had turned over and was propped up on her elbows looking at James.
"I know you're a big girl but I deserve a right to know what your doing with it because frankly it's both ours not just yours" James had propped himself up on his elbows too.
"James the truth is I didn't know how you would take it and with you and Greg being so close and then me and Greg being together it all just got so complicated and I didn't know what to do" Lily felt a warm tear roll down her cheek she whipped it away before James would notice, she didn't want him to see her cry not to night anyway.
"But I would have helped you and you know that" James said looking into that perfect face.
"James I wasn't going to tell you" Lily blurted out.
Lily had been carrying this wait around for months and it all came tumbling out of her mouth at once.
"I wasn't going to tell you because I didn't want you to be dragged down with me, I wanted you to have a Quidditch career and I wonted you to go there and do things with your life not have a teenage wife with a baby, I wonted to protect you form something that would have destroyed all of us" Lily looked away she couldn't bear to see his face she didn't wont to see him hurt again.
"Lily I don't care about that stuff if it was a choice between you and a Quidditch career I would chose you and the baby every time" and with that James pulled Lily down into the most passionate kiss he had ever given her and unbeknown to him Lily was returning it just as passionately.
