Hello again! Nothing to say let's go.
Chapter 2:
Lily's POV
"My parents warned me about the drugs in the streets but never about the ones with hazel eyes and a heartbeat."
I knew it! I knew it! I just bloody knew it! I knew it from the moment I saw him and Adeline together 3 weeks ago that something was up. Now look! He left me for her! That bitch!
I curl up on my bed and gaze at the stars so far away. I heard a knock on my door and my father enters! He gave me a small smile but I couldn't bring myself to smile back at him. He walks forward and puts a hand on my head. He always knows when something is up with me. He loves me so much. He liked Andrew, but he sort of knew that he'd break my heart.
"Hey there, sweetie."
"Hi Dad." I answer weakly.
"Alright?"
"Kind of."
"Just forget about him."
"I'm trying, Dad."
After sitting on the edge of my bed, he envelopes me in a hug. I feel so safe and warm in his arms, like he won't let anything hurt me. He smells like coffee and something else, I couldn't recognize but the scent was comforting. He kissed the top of my head and left.
I was deep in thought when I felt something. The hair on the back of my neck rose up. I felt like someone was watching me. I ignored the feeling and I changed into my black camisole and grey shorts and tried to fall asleep. Slowly I felt my lids grow heavy and sleep overcame me.
I was asleep peacefully but all of a sudden I felt quite hot. My hair were starting to stick at the nape of my neck and I opened my eyes out of curiosity. I gasped and a hand covered my mouth as if to keep me silent. Instead of seeing my ceiling, I found myself staring into a pair of eyes. The only sound I could hear was the frantic beating of my heart. I could feel myself getting lost in those eyes. The intruder smelled like some kind of expensive men's cologne, leather and pine. His eyes were hazel with hints of green. Steady. Mysterious. Perfect.
And then everything went black
JAMES' POV
''Moony would you hurry up?'' I said exasperatedly.
''And buck up Wormtail!'' Sirius added, exasperation evident in his voice too.
We hurried through the forest. We were lucky the Evans' house was near the woods; the trees provided excellent cover.
''So, is everyone familiar with the plan?'' Remus asked.
''Yes sire. We've been over it a hundred times already.'' Wormtail replied with a hint of sarcasm.
We reached the edge of the forest and the house came in sight. Everything was eerily silent with exception of the occasional hoot of an owl. The cool wind was blowing gently, rustling the leaves. I could see that except the porch light, all lights in the Evans' house were switched off. Everyone in the house seemed to be asleep. Well they would be, it was 3 am in the bloody morning! Wormtail yawned. Sirius rolled his eyes at him. It annoys me a lot when someone roll their eyes. What's the point of doing it? I don't understand it at all.
''Let's go Prongs'' Sirius said prodding me.
"Moony, Wormtail go and be the lookout" I said, bidding them off and went towards the house, Sirius right at my heels. Moony and Wormtail were supposed to keep watch on two sides of the house and Sirius was supposed to assist me in kidnapping the red-head.
''Are you sure Flower would be asleep?'' Sirius asked.
''Flower!?'' I raised my eyebrows.
''Well Lily-Flower, get it?''
I swear, sometimes Padfoot drives me completely crazy. I shook my head and muttered, "Whatever".
We were standing under Lily's window, looking up at it.
''Alright, you know what to do Paddy."
Sirius waved his wand and said the incantation, "Wingardium Leviosa"
I slowly began to rise up in the air and he stopped when I was in level with the window. Taking out my wand, I quickly murmured '' Alohomora'' and the window opened soundlessly. I stepped inside and tiptoed forward. Through the hazy moonlight I could make out her sleeping form. I looked around the room. It looked neat with the exception of one or two clothes strewn across the floor. There was a large carpet covering most of the floor so my footsteps were muffled. There was a desk by the corner with a chair and a jacket was hanging over its arm.
I crept towards the sleeping girl. She seemed to be in deep sleep. I slowly sat down beside her and leaned over her. I felt warmth seeping all over me. A silence seemed to envelope around me. She was even more beautiful up close. Her face was peaceful but then she started to fidget and I could see drops of sweat forming on her upper lip. She opened her eyes and gasped. I quickly covered her mouth with my hand and her eyes went very wide and stared into mine. Damn, her eyes. They were just perfect. I had never seen eyes so green. But I had a task to do. I waved my wand and muttered an incantation and watched her pretty eyes grow heavy and drift close. She was asleep again and won't wake up till late morning.
I found a notepad on her desk along with a bottle of ink and a quill. I quickly tore off a page, dipped the quill into the pot of ink and wrote my message. Just as I was about to straighten up, I heard Sirius' voice and I turned to see him hanging off the window ledge.
''Mate, did you hit yourself with the Sleeping Spell too? How long does it take for you to knock out an eighteen-year-old girl, not to mention you are four years older than her'' he said.
''I'm done.'' I went towards the bedside table and placed my note on it.
''C'mon grab her and let's get out of here. Someone might wake up. C'mon.'' While saying this he stepped into the room, getting tired of hanging off the window ledge. He grabbed the jacket hanging off the chair's arm and draped it over her. I bent over and taking hold of her, I threw over my shoulder. Unsurprisingly, she was very light. Sirius casted an incantation on both of us and quickly jumped out of the window. He lowered to the ground slowly and landed with a soft thump, followed by me carrying the sleeping red- head.
We hurried towards the woods where Remus and Peter were waiting anxiously for us.
''Mischief managed'' Peter said with a wide grin when they both saw us with me carrying Lily on my shoulder.
The faces of the rest of us lit up with victorious smiles too.
''Prongs, you completed this mission just like James Bond", Remus said smirking.
''Bond? But I'm a Potter.'' Confusion on my face.
''Oh, I'm talking about that secret agent and spy. Remember that moonmie we saw?'' said Peter
'' It is called a movie'', Remus corrected.
''Oh whatever let's first get out of here and we'll celebrate later'' Sirius said and walked deeper into the forest to Apparate, followed by us. I kept thinking about the note I had left for the red-head's father, shifting her a little on my shoulder.
'You stole the thing most precious to me, I'm stealing yours.'
Ta da! Another chapter It Shouldn't be too long until I update again. In case you haven't noticed James has a little crush on Lily. Eventually that little brush turns into love. Peter is good and Voldemort did not exist. Post Hogwarts. James is much older than Lily.
