Chapter seven.

Lily woke the next day to the peaceful sound of birds singing out her window and the not so peaceful sound of Sirius, who was next door in his cottage, singing in the shower. She opened her eyes slowly, to see James sitting very close to her, on her bed.

"Morning Lily!" he said brightly,

"Aaah! James, what the hell are you doing?" she asked,

"I believe I am sitting on your bed giving you a cheery greeting." He said plainly,

"Oh, okay." She laughed,

"You look so pretty like that Lily." James said,

"I do?" Lily said, she was taken aback by James' compliment,

"Yes, you do."

"Do I have bed hair?" she asked,

"No."

"You're not making fun of me James?"

"No, I am being 100 honest." He said earnestly,

"Oh, thank you."

"You know Lily, you're a good kisser." He said, with a smug grin,

"Really?"

"Yep, what about me?" James asked,

"I don't know, maybe I need a reminder." Lily laughed, as she gave James a light kiss on his lips, "Hmm, not quite sure yet." She said playfully and kissed him again, this time it was deeper, and more passionate. After about five minutes of making out, she broke away from him.

"Yep, definitely a good kisser." She said, with a smile, "I'm going to go and make breakfast."

"I'm not in the mood for breakfast." James said,

"Well what are you in the mood for?" Lily sighed, immediately regretting saying that, as James tapped

the bed suggestively,

"James, don't be stupid, there's a child in the room and plus we're not even going out." She said,

"Aren't we? It's pretty clear that you want me Lily."

"Don't be so cocky James." She laughed, "I'm not going to sleep with you with Elle in the room."

"She's not in the room though, she learnt how to get out of her crib, and she's crawled into the living room."

"Oh, well I'm still not sleeping with you."

"Then will you be my girlfriend?" he asked,

"James, I don't know if that's a very good idea." Lily said,

"Then why do you keep messing with my head like this Lily?" James shouted, pretending to tear his hair

out, "Gosh! You drive me crazy."

"James, I can't do this right now, I'm going to Ellie's house, I'll take the baby with me." she said monotonously, as she walked out of the room,

"No, Lily wait." James said, following her out into the living room, "You say I'm a good kisser, and then you reject me again? What's with that?"

"I don't know James, I can't figure this out right now." Lily said, now frustrated, she picked Elle up off the floor and stomped out of the cottage, slamming the door behind her. James sighed heavily and flopped on to the couch. Lily was messing about with his head and it was making him go nuts.

"So you kissed him, and you're still not sure how you feel about him?" Ellie asked,

"Yeah." Lily said, she knew it sounded strange,

"This is so messed up, you've got to stop screwing around with his head." She said seriously, "He won't put up with it you know. He'll end up going out with some bimbo in some lame attempt to make you jealous."

"Woah Ellie, I never knew you could be so serious."

"Shut up!" she laughed,

"I know I have to make up my mind, but it's way too hard. Like, how can I hate him for 6 years, and then change my mind about him just because I've lived with him for a week."

"Has it been a week? That means we can get our wands back now!" Ellie said happily, totally dismissing the topic of James and Lily's relationship,

"Yay, it was getting so annoying not being able to use magic." Lily said,

A few minutes later they heard a cry coming from Elle, Lily picked her up and checked her nappy. She had just been fed so she wasn't hungry,

"Lily, I think she fell over." Ellie said, "She's learning to walk."

"She is? But she's only a week old." Lily said,

"No, she's not, these babies grow up heaps faster than normal babies." Ellie explained, "At this stage Elle is about eighteen months old. So at the end of the project, she will be six years old, weren't you there when McGonagall told us?"

"I was there, I probably wasn't listening."

"That's weird."

"I know, not like me at all."

"Ah, Seewoos." Elle said, as she tried to stand up,

"I can't believe she's learning to walk, this is so cool." Lily said excitedly,

"Yeah, you're lucky, Mack has barely said her first word, and I'm kind of worried that she's a slow developer."

"I'm sure she's not. What was her first word?"

"Pwang." Ellie said, "It's not really a word but it's close to being prank."

"Seewoos." Elle said loudly,

"Lils, you really need to teach her a new word."

"I know; Sirius' head is already big enough. He's making Emma tear her hair out."

"Why?"

"Because he won't stop calling the baby Sirius Junior and he keeps trying to pick up girls while she's with him."

"Oh, bet she has a thing for him." Ellie said,

"I don't know, maybe." Lily answered as Elle fell over again, "James is going to be so pissed off that he

didn't get to see this."
