It's just you're Subconscious

Sorry for the long wait, I've been REALLY struggling with this Chapter. It's part of the reason I don't do much Lily/James. I struggle with it, and find it hard to write. So if this sucks I'm sorry, I really had a hard time with it. Also there is one more part to Hogsmeade.


Chapter Twelve: Hogsmeade Part Two

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul –Jesse McCartney

Lily was snuggled into her bed, she was tired beyond belief. The nightly patrols were getting to her she wondered how she kept up with her studies. She had been so excited when she found out she was Head Girl, till she learned she would be doing nightly patrols. It wore her out, and she often wondered if she could skip one night.

Although she had been a little upset James had been made Head Boy. She couldn't understand why. He was always breaking the rules, pranking people and getting detention. He never paid attention in class and always wanted to play Hang Man or some kind of game in class with her. Yet he seemed to get high grades along with Sirius.

Lily figured it was pure luck; they got high grades, unless they had some secret power of being able to play Hangman and listen to the Professor at the same time. It was also annoying that some patrols she got stuck patrolling with James.

However the last few times, she hadn't been too annoyed by it, and actually enjoyed it. Through the years Lily realized James had slowly but surely grown up, in fifth year if he had the power of Head Boy he would have been giving Severus Snape detention left and right.

However by this year, he had visibly matured and actually gave Snape some slack a few times. Lily sighed in her sleep, all you saw was red hair peeking out above her covers she had the curtains to her bed closed to ensure darkness.

However someone else had something else in mind, all of a sudden the curtains whipped open, Lily groaned as the sunlight peeked into her blankets. She snuggled in further, however the person was persistant.

She felt tugging on her blankets, which made her grab onto them, there was no way she was getting up early on a Saturday. She scooted over against the wall clinging to her covers the person was seemingly getting fed up.

"Lily! Get up!" It was Ana, and she was tugging hard on the covers, trying to pull them off, she was ready to kill Sienna. She always left her to wake up Lily, however later on with the plan, she and a few others came up with this would be worth it.

And Sienna had no clue about the plan they were concocting, she was none the wiser, completely oblivious to it. Ana would have 'bwuahaha'ed', but that wasn't her style, instead she grinned evilly.

"LIIIIIILLLLLLY!" She said in a sing song voice that usually annoyed Lily enough to get up and then stomp to the bathroom.

However this time Lily was even more stubborn then Ana had thought, because she was still clinging to the covers and curled up in a ball in the corner fighting to stay asleep.

Ana had had enough, she sat down on the floor, put her feet on the side of Lily's bed, with the blanket between her legs, she pushed back with her legs and pulled she heard a satisfactory "THUD" and a "ARGH" when she finally sat up and grinned.

Lily sat up and glared at Ana, her hair was a mess and her shirt was all twisted up along with her PJ bottoms. She quickly stood up dis-orientated and threw her blanket on her bed she threw her hair behind her head and out of her face glaring at Ana.

"Lily darling, good morning!" Ana said trying to sound chipper, and also trying to smooth over her anger.

Lily was glaring at Ana still, "You could have woken me up civilly you know." Lily yawned looking at Ana, no one ever wanted to be woken up by Ana. Ana would stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She would rip covers off, take pillows; she would even pour water on you or try and sit on you. "You pulled so hard on the covers that I fell off the bed!" Lily said rubbing her eyes.

Ana shrugged, "Well, everyone knows you and Sienna are the hardest to wake up. You two are so stubborn." Ana said scowling, walking towards the Dorm Room door.

Lily looked over at her with a raised eyebrow, "I'm not stubborn, it's those stupid patrols, their so tiring, I at least have an excuse Sienna is just lazy." Lily laughed.

Ana laughed along with her and nodded, "True, true. Gonna go finish my Homework in the Common Room." Ana said opening the door and leaving.

Lily yawned and kneeled down in front of her trunk near her bed, she wasn't too excited about going to Hogsmeade with some unknown guy. She was half-hoping James would have asked her but surprisingly he didn't. Which was odd James was always chasing after Lily asking for a date whenever he got the chance.

Lily would be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed he hadn't asked her, did he finally give up on her? For some odd reason she liked James chasing after her. James hadn't even been on any dates this year, he had how many girls ask him out, but he declined on them all.

So did Sirius, but Sirius liked Ana. The thought dawned on Lily that maybe James had fallen in love with someone, that maybe that was why he hadn't asked her to Hogsmeade. Lily sighed feeling a little depressed.

Lily sighed and took the clothes she picked out to the Bathroom with her. She threw them on the counter and got in deciding to take a nice long soothing shower. About an hour later she stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around herself she walked out to get a barrette and a few other things she wanted when Ana and Sienna walked in.

Lily smiled and looked up, "Finish you're Homework?" She asked digging through her trunk for a few different items.

Ana nodded, "Yep, we also got done being annoyed by Sir-Black." Ana said mentally smacking herself for calling him by his first name.

"You know," Lily began, "Its okay to call Sirius by his first name, you are going with him to Hogsmeade."

Ana sighed, "It wouldn't be so bad if he would act his age, I swear he's a two year old stuck in a seventeen year olds body." Ana complained.

Sienna sniggered, "Yes Ana, but he's a male it's a fact that a woman matures faster then a man. Men are idiots," She laughed, "Throw rocks at them."

Lily laughed, "Or snowballs."

"Yeah snowballs! Remember last year? James wanted to make Marauder snowmen. Heh, I think the snowmen would have been more intelligent." Ana laughed.

"Heh, nice." Sienna said grabbing her clothes and walking to the bathroom. Lily finally found her perfume and Makeup kit along with her barrette. Ana was already dressed wearing a shirt that said, "I'm too pretty to do Arithmancy."

Lily laughed, "Nice shirt." She said sitting on the bed waiting for Sienna to get out, Ana looked down at her shirt.

She grinned, "I thought so too. Mum got it for me." Ana said trying to put lipstick on while talking at the same time.

Sienna was still in the Bathroom, "Remember the plan right?" Ana said looking up at Lily who sat there for a moment.

It finally hit her, "Oh yeah! Danny he's suppose to be with someone else right? To get Sienna and Remus together?" She asked.

Ana nodded, "Yup, I'm so excited, we've all agreed to meet at the Three Broomsticks later after all our dates." Ana said.

Lily was quiet, "Do you know who James is going with?" She asked trying not to sound like she cared, only to sound like she was trying to make conversation.

Ana looked over and raised an eyebrow grinning, "Why Lily?" She asked, trying to keep from laughing. She turned away as she finished applying her makeup.

Lily shrugged, "Just wondering…hadn't seen anyone ask him out so…" Lily trailed off looking nervous.

Ana sniggered to herself, "I don't know, you'd have to ask him." Ana replied.

"No way! He'd take it as me being jealous! He's actually refrained from being cocky, I'm not about to give him ammo to going back to being cocky." Lily said as Sienna walked out.

Ana sniggered as Lily ran into the bathroom. Lily was angry with herself for even caring who James was going with. It wasn't as if he had ever done anything to make him like her…

…Ok so that was a big lie, he had stuck up for Lily many times when the jerks she was dating were being cruel. He had let her use his Transfiguration book when hers was lost, he had always done small sweet things.

"I am seriously thick." She muttered getting into her clothes, she put on purple leggings and then a short black skirt over it, and she put on black boots and a white T-shirt with a rainbow on it. She finished her makeup and put her hair in a barrette and sighed, she was happy with the results.

"I look good." She said actually happy with how she looked. She had light pink lip-gloss on and light pink and blue eye shadow, a little bit of mascara and a little bit of blush. She walked out of the bathroom and her friends looked up.

"You look great Lily!" They said happily.

Lily looked good, James was going to love how Lily looked, but James loved Lily in anything she wore. Lily smiled shyly, "Really?" She asked bashfully; but that was Lily she wasn't really stuck on herself, in fact she was shy when complimented.

"Duh!" Ana said smiling, they all finished straightening out, and by the time they were done, it was time to leave. All three walked down the stairs, the guys would meet them outside where Filch was waiting to lead them all to Hogsmeade.

Lily stuck with Ana, looking around, Sienna was nervous and wanted to go back but Ana assured her everything would be okay. They had to wait for the Third Years to hand Filch the permission slips. Ana found Sirius and once again reassured Sienna it would be okay, before dragging Lily off with her.

Ana grabbed Lily's arm and Lily sighed as Sienna walked off into the crowd, Ana was way too excited about this, Lily was barely able to keep up with Ana's fast paced steps. They reached Sirius who was next to James.

James seemed to still be waiting for his date. Ana and Lily ran up and Ana grinned looking at Sirius, he looked good. He was in blue jeans and a green dress shirt. He looked down at Ana and grinned, "Hey. You look nice." He said taking in Ana's appearance.

Lily had to admit James looked good, he had on black jeans and a white button up shirt that fit nice against him. His hair was messy, but it looked good on him. Lily looked over at Ana and whispered, "Where's my Date?" She asked.

Ana looked a little nervous and whispered, "He's right here." She replied, Lily looked around, and then it hit her and she glared at Ana, "JAMES!" She whispered harshly.

Lily seemed to have flames in her eyes as she glared at Ana who seemed to still be calm, because Ana knew if she wasn't calm, she wouldn't be able to calm Lily down. Sirius seemed to have already told James.

Instead of him being cocky he looked a little shy and bashful, but happy nonetheless, Sirius leaned down once looking at Lily, "Well Ana, looks like she's gonna kill you." Sirius whispered into Ana's ear.

Ana still looked calm and said, "She's tried that before, never really works." She replied as Lily glared at her. Ana laughed a little and grabbed Sirius' arm, "Well, Ta darling!" Ana said walking past with Sirius.

James looked extremely nervous, Lily turned to him. For some reason she was upset. A few moments ago she was upset he was going out with someone else. Maybe it was the fact her friends had really tricked her, and James didn't ask her out himself. He seemed to have been tricked as well.

James held out his arm and Lily took it forcefully, there was a lot of awkwardness. James didn't know what to say Lily was torn between being happy he was taking her out and pissed that her friends took it into their own hands.

Of course they had a plan to do the same thing to Sienna, Lily tried reasoning, but for some reason she was still really upset.

James could sense she was upset, they followed the group to Hogsmeade, James kept trying to think of something to say but nothing was coming to him. "You look nice Lily." He said looking down at the redhead.

She was obviously in a bad mood, "Thanks." She said, Lily was prideful so to be forced into something like this usually made her pretty bitter. And sometimes Lily was quick to anger without thinking things through.

"Where would you like to go, Honeydukes?" He asked politely.

Lily was still in a bad mood, "Wherever you want to go James." She said, making a mental note to kill Ana and Sienna and anyone else who was in on it.

Lily wasn't mad at James, she was just too busy brooding over what her friends did, Lily wanted James to ask her out, and she wanted to accept. The logical part of her brain said, but he has asked you out, and you kept turning him down. The other side kept saying that she wanted to do it on her own time. She ignored the fact that her brain kept telling her how upset she was James might have been going out with someone else.

James sighed to himself, he always knew Lily didn't fancy him, apart of him hoped Lily would, that Lily liked him. Sirius always told James, Lily was just playing hard to get. However lately James was starting to have his doubts.

James would try and come off charming, but in the end look like an idiot, he tried way too hard to impress Lily. Once they got to Hogsmeade James sighed realizing it was no use.

"If you want you can go with you're friends." He said letting go of her arm, he turned around and started to walk off, he liked Lily, but he didn't want to make her do something she didn't want to do.

"Wait!" It was Lily, James turned around, it was starting to snow it was falling in his messy hair, making it look wild.

Lily came running up realizing she was taking her annoyance out on James, "Sorry, just annoyed with my friends." She said shyly.

James laughed a little, "Well, I guess it's basically what we've done to Sienna." He said running a hand through his hair.

Lily nodded and then looked down the streets of Hogsmeade and saw the plan was working, Sienna was pissed and stalking off "It looks like its working!" She said, and then grabbed James arm, "Wanna go to Honeydukes?" She asked.

James smiled brightly, "Sounds great." He said.

She let go of his arm and grinned, "I'll race you!" She said, and darted off quickly, giving into her heart for once. She heard James' footsteps behind her as she neared Honeydukes. She ran up and was about to go in when James came crashing into her.

Both of them fell onto their butts in the snow, both of them were laughing, "Watch where you're going James." She said standing up as James smiled shyly.

It was a change to Lily, James wasn't the shy type, she actually took a good look at him, and he looked good, she looked up and smiled, "You look great."

He ruffled his hair, "Of Course Lily my dear." He said mockingly, "I knew you couldn't resist me." He laughed.

Lily rolled her eyes, "You're insane." She smiled as they walked in, Lily went straight for the Chocolate Frogs, she smiled knowing Sienna was a little creeped out by them.

James however went for the Cauldron Cakes, Peter was of course in the store but he was off on his own, which wasn't a surprise. Lily remembered how Sienna said Peter gave her the creeps.

Of course this always made Lily laugh, because Peter had to be the worst Wizard in all of Hogwarts, but Sienna was adamant that Peter was weird, and creepy.

Lily walked over to where James was, "James where did you meet Peter?" She asked curiously.

"Oh… some class we were in 1st year." He replied, "Why?" He asked.

"Oh, Sienna said he gives her the creeps." Lily said.

James shrugged, "Eh, I know, Ana said the same thing, they've been acting weird about him lately." James then grinned, "Of course their women." He finished.

Lily looked up with a raised eyebrow, "I hope you meant that we are better then males." She said amused.

James mock gasped, "Of course I didn't mean that. Women have that weird intuition." He said.

Lily laughed, "And most of the time it's right." She replied, "The only thing I wonder about men, or more about you is how you get good grades."

He shrugged, "I steal of Remus' notes." He smirked.

Lily laughed, "I should have known, Sirius too I suppose?" she asked.

"Of course! Why listen to the Professor's if we don't have to?" He asked.

Lily shook her head, "Ana says the same thing, so does Sienna they find school boring." She said as they paid for their candy.

"Hey, it can be! And Sirius is sure Professor McGonagall has a crush on him." James said looking disgusted as they walked out of Honeydukes, and down the street.

Lily crinkled her nose, "Sirius has a warped mind." She replied.

"Yeah but that's why I love him." He laughed.

Lily and James continued to walk down the street when they heard laughing, they crept forward a little and looked into a secluded area; Remus and Sienna were having a snowball fight.

Sienna was running away from him laughing, but she fell to the ground, Remus did a few moments later, she said something that made him laugh and kiss her. "Aw!" Lily cooed, "I knew it would work." She said as Remus helped Sienna up.

They both walked past Lily and James, only they didn't notice them since they were in a hiding spot, Lily and James stood up once Remus and Sienna went into Honeydukes. They walked over to where Sienna and Remus were.

It was near the Shrieking Shack, James was staring at it, Lily got an evil grin on her face, she slowly bent down and grabbed a wad of snow, she stood up and walked behind James and then took her arms lifted them and threw the wad of snow on top of his head, "HA! I knew I could flatten that hair!" She giggled.

James looked up and as he did the snow fell off his head in one big clump, "Payback Lily." He said grinning, she laughed and then made a run for it, grabbing snow and throwing it at him, only she fell to the ground.

James grinned and got on top of her and started tickling her sides, which was Lily's weakness she was very tickle-ish. She started to laugh uncontrollably, "J-James! S-S-Stop!" She said kicking and screaming.

She grabbed James arms trying to get him to stop, but in the process it made him lose his balance and he fell on top of her. Both James and Lily stopped laughing, she stared into his eyes. His glasses were getting fogged up.

She leaned forward and kissed him on the lips, James pulled himself up a little bit so he was resting on the palms of his hands and on his knees. He leaned back in and kissed her back, but sadly this little moment was broken up, they heard a click, saw a flash and heard an annoying scream.

"AW LOOK AT THE TWO LOVE BIRDS!" It was Sirius who sounded amused, James growled in frustration, Lily was blushing a crimson red. James slowly got up and helped Lily up, they both faced Sirius and then Ana.

"Ha, told you, you liked him Lily." Ana smirked, she was currently holding hands with Sirius who looked quite happy to be with Ana.

Lily sighed, "Why did you come and bug us?" She asked a little annoyed, she was having fun with James.

"Because, it's about time to get to the Three Broomsticks, as we need to get there before Remus and Sienna." Sirius informed them.

Lily sighed, "Oh yeah," Lily said sullenly, James also looked upset, that it seemed to be over, but they spent a lot of time just walking the streets when Lily was upset, then quite a bit of time in Honeydukes and then here.

Ana and Sirius looked like they had, had a serious make out session. Ana's clothes were all askew, and Sirius' hair was really messy, and he had this crazed smile.

All four of them walked to The Three Broomsticks where they met up with Danny, they walked in with rose-y cheeks, and Rosemerta gave them their Butterbeer's.

"Did it work?" Ana asked.

"Like a charm, they were both kissing near the Shrieking Shack." Lily giggled happily.

"Yes, and we couldn't have done it without you Danny." James said happily high fiving the Ravenclaw.

"I just felt bad because I caused the argument between them." He replied.

"And I was not about to go through her moping because she wanted Remus. Although she gave me a scare when she said maybe it was just a crush." Ana said.

"We both know their liars, because Remus said the same thing to me and James." Sirius laughed, "But hey they'll thank us for getting them together. We had the perfect plan, we all knew Remus would find her and comfort her and that would be it." They all toasted and laughed happily.

At this moment both Remus and Sienna walked in however it didn't look like the plan worked and Lily was crestfallen.

"Oh screw off Remus, you're so annoying!" Sienna said glaring she sat down next to Ana and huffed as Remus did.

"I'm annoying what about you!" Remus questioned glaring at her just as hard, it looked as though they would rip the others head off.

Sienna looked over and saw Danny, "YOU! How dare you show you're face to me, go away!" She said standing up glaring.

Ana, Lily, Sirius, James and Danny's faces all went white. Ana's heart sank it hadn't worked, "W-w-what?" She asked.

Danny got up, "Yeah I'll just go." He said grabbing his coat, afraid of what damage Sienna could cause.

Lily got up, "Now wait just a minute! He-"She was about to go on when Remus and Sienna both burst out into fits of laughter.

Sienna walked over to Danny and directed him back to his chair, "Sit down mate." She laughed sitting down with Remus.

"What the hell?" Asked Ana.

Sienna smirked, "Oh we heard about you're little plan to get us together." She laughed, "So we thought this up, we heard you talking through the window outside, the entrance door was open a little." She said.

Lily sighed leaning against James in her chair as Ana screamed, "That isn't funny!" And then went into a huge argument. Lily smiled taking a sip of her Butterbeer. Not only had her friends gotten her, but they had gotten Sienna.

Even though at the beginning of the day Lily had been upset about it, it turned out to be okay and she was pretty happy. She was content with James and for once he wasn't cocky or arrogant.

Lily laughed at her friends, maybe this wouldn't be such a bad year, as she had previously thought at the beginning. Lily had gotten a bad feeling going into this year at Hogwarts. Which was odd because she loved going to Hogwarts and she never got that kind of feeling.

However right now, she felt everything would be okay.
