Hey everyone, thank you for reviewing. Sorry I haven't updated lately I've been sick, then I got caught up in school, and also slight writers block. Well anyway on with the story.
Chapter 6-Out Flying
Lily could feel sunlight hitting her face through the curtains that were in the living room where they had all slept. She sat up and noticed James was the only other person awake yet. He was scribbling away on a piece of parchment.
"What are you doing?" She whispered to him. He looked up at her and smiled, then put the parchment away hoping he didn't smudge the ink.
"Sorry, can't tell you," James whispered and smirked. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Fine, then don't tell me. Want to help me make breakfast for everyone?" She asked.
"Sure." He got up and followed her into the kitchen.
"You make the toast and i'll make some sausage and eggs," She told him. He nodded and got out some bread.
"What time is it?" She asked him.
"About 7:30, I think," he answered.
"Really? How long have you been awake for?"
"Not to long..." He said "Everyone had a long night yesterday, if I know Sirius and Remus they won't be awake for a while, so I was wondering if, well would you like to go for a walk after we finish making the breakfast?" He asked
"Sure, even though it's a little wet it's still nice out," She said while looking out the window, not noticing James looking at her. 'How come I'm starting to like this girl, this is absolutely crazy. You can't just go from hating some one to liking them this quickly can you? Besides she hates my guts, she'll never like me.' James thought 'I'll just have to use my excellent Potter charm now won't I?' he started smiling. A while past and they had the food set up on the table.
"Okay, let's go for a walk now and when we get back we can wake everyone up and have breakfast" Lily said.
"How about we go flying instead, we can fly over the woods in the back of your house, no one will see us." He said.
"Um, no I think I'd rather walk," She said.
"Oh come on please. How come you don't want to go flying?"
"I'm not good at flying and I don't enjoy heights, okay!" She yelled. (A.N.- probably not true, but hey its my story ...)
"Then I'll show you! I promise not to go to high, please?" He said. Lily thought uneasily for a moment.
"F..fine," Lily said. James ran and got his broom that he had packed with him in his bag and then grabbed Lily's hand, against her will, and dragged her outside. He went and mounted his broom hovering a bit off the ground. Lily hesitated.
"Come on Lily, I'll go slow. Here, climb on infront of me," James said. Lily went and sat in front of him. He his arms around her and grasped the broom stick and went up in the air a bit.
"See its not going to kill you," He said and laughed. She turned and smiled slightly and then faced forward again. He could smell her lavender shampoo because her hair was so close to his face. He flew a bit higher they were just above the tree tops of the forest. They were going very slow though.
"Mind if we speed up a bit?" He asked.
"I guess not..." She said as he leaned forward a bit, then he started smirking as he went almost full speed of his broom. Lily gave a quick scream, gripped the broom handle tightly, and closed her eyes. She soon got adjusted to the speed and didn't mind it as much.
"You mind warning me next time, you nearly scared me half to death!" She said very upset.
"Don't worry I wouldn't let you fall" He whispered in her ear. He wrapped one of his arms around her waist so that he was flying with only one hand. She blushed slightly. 'Is he falling for me! No, that's impossible. I don't know what I'm thinking. How come he's acting like he likes me or something though?' Lily thought. She was now horribly confused.
"Warning," He said.
"What! Wait a second! James don't..." Before she could finish he had tightened his arm that was around her slightly and pulled his broom upwards so that they were now going up very high in the sky. He stopped after a while and was doing circles and some tricks. Lily was petrified, her eyes were closed tightly and she was gripping onto James arm that had been around her waist. He stopped suddenly. They were very high up in the air. Lily sighed, happy they had finally slowed down. She let go of his arm and he put it back around her waist. She slowly and carefully slid one of her legs over the broom so that she was sitting sideways both legs on the same side so she could face him.
"It's beautiful up here even though I am pretty much scared to death right now," Lily said.
"Yea, it is beautiful," He said staring at her. He snapped out of it and quickly added "The scenery and all that is." It was quiet, Lily didn't know what to say she was looking at the tree tops but she could feel James looking at her. She looked at him and he started to lean in closer 'Merlin! Is he going to kiss me?' Their lips almost brushed but Lily stopped him.
"We should go back its probably about 9, we should wake everyone up and eat," Lily said. James nodded, Lily swung her leg back over the broom so that she was sitting on it properly. James held the broom and they started to fly back towards the house.
They finally got back and went and sat in the kitchen, they were about to go wake everyone up when they all came into the kitchen.
"Smells good," Sirius mumbled and plopped down into a chair still half asleep. Suffie and Remus also took a seat.
"You two made all this, you should have woken me so I could have helped, thank you," Suffie said and yawned.
"Yea, thanks you two it looks good," Remus said. They all started eating. Suffie was drinking a glass of juice when an owl came through the open kitchen window.
"Twink! Where have you been? Oh, a letter," She said taking the letter that was around his leg off. She gave him the crust of her toast and patted his head. The owl happily hooted back as Suffie opened the letter. A few seconds past but then Suffie's eyes formed tears and she darted out of the room and up the stairs and a door slam was heard. Remus and Lily both jumped up from the table. Remus was about to go after her when James grabbed his arm.
"Let Lily talk to her first," James said. Remus nodded, so did Lily and she went upstairs.
"Suffie?" Lily called as she walked in and out of rooms upstairs. 'She must be in my bedroom,' She walked down the hallway and tried to open her bedroom door.
"Suffie, let me in, its my bedroom," She said while banging on the door. There was no answer. Lily stood up on her tiptoes and grabbed a key the was hidden on the top of the doorway and let herself in. Suffie was on her bed crying.
"Suffie? What's wrong?" Lily asked and sat down on the corner of the bed.
"My...my aunt died. Lils, now I'm in this alone. Its not fair, I should go home I was only suppose to be here for a few days, until my aunt came back, now that she's not coming I should leave," Suffie said.
" No way, your staying here. You can't leave me with these terrors, and you know you don't want to go back to your house." Lily said.
"Thank you Lily," Suffie said, still crying. Lily hated to see Suffie like this. No one knew exactly what happened around at Suffie's house because Suffie kept it all a secret that only Lily knew. Even though she said she went to stay with her aunt a lot because she couldn't handle not having any other girls around it was also because her father abused them, only occasionally physically it was usually verbally.
"Stop crying Suffie, please? Don't worry we'll have lots of fun today, I think we need a girl's kind of day, you know chick flicks, ice cream, and we can talk about guys, Remus perhaps?" Lily said smirking, she really wanted to see Suffie and Remus together. Suffie smiled .
"What about the guys?" She asked.
"Forget them, I'm sure they can find something to do."
I hoped you all liked this chapter. I have some good ideas but they don't take place till later, like when they go back to Hogwarts an all lol I want Lily and James to get together now but I can't do that because then there would be no story, would there? Of course not. Also I just wanted to say that if there are any mistakes in this story at all im sorry, I had school AND work today and im typing this at 1 AM and I am soooo tired. I hope you all like it. Please, please, please review! Please?
