Chapter Seven: Regretless Requirements
Lily walked in from her run. Rain streaming down her face. Her wet hair clung to the side of her face and she swiped it away in attempt to make herself look more presentable. She walked into the great hall. It was now half-past seven and she had been outside for ages. She sat down in the middle of the table where the seventh years all sat and began to pick at her eggs. She still had a foreboding feeling that had come forth ever since her dream. She felt now that if she told John today, that there would be hell to pay.
Lily sat there in the great hall sitting and talking with Laura. She smiled and laughed at her Jokes and didn't disappear as soon as James came down to breakfast. Lily looked around suddenly; she just realized that John wasn't there. Where was he? What had happened? She thought and began to fear what may have happened.
In transfigurations class they were focusing on doing human transfigurations. They had to change their hair color, style, or another obvious change. Lily focused on the spell and looked into the mirror in her hand. Looking down she realized she had made her hair curl slightly. People weren't shocked; she was better than most in this class.
After class she was walking around the corridors and meandered upon the seventh floor corridor. She walked past the wall where the room of requirements had been and saw the door was open. She felt like snooping and seeing what it looked like in there and opened the door and stepped inside. She didn't see anything when she walked in. There was no one inside. The room resembled her family Living Room. Pictures hung on the walls and there were fake windows on the walls. The windows showed scene's of what was happening in Surry. She smiled as she saw the day was bright and not at all gloomy. There were light clouds in the sky. She looked around and saw the light wood floorboards were clean as they usually were, the fire was lit and crackling with a passion.
Her mother's old chair light blue plush chair was sitting in the corner, next to it was a larger plush over-stuffed sofa. She could smell all the smells of her home and she longed to see her family again. She saw all the pictures on the mantle piece and hanging on the walls. There were pictures of her blond haired sister Petunia Evans and herself. There were pictures from school and pictures from vacations. Seven of the pictures of Lily were of departing for the train. The pictures from the train were all small square Polaroid's. Lily smiled and sat down in the chair, letting the feeling of home sink in.
"I miss you mom" she whispered and touched a small picture on the side table. It was a picture of her mother when Lily and Petunia were just toddler. Her mother Elizabeth Evans long wavy red hair reached her mid-shoulders. Lily saw her gentle blue eyes were not as startling as her father's green eyes. Her father Jonathan Evans's green eyes were strong against his blond hair. Lily had gotten her eyes from her father and her hair from her mother. She was a mix of both of them. "I miss you dad," she whispered too, touching the spot where her father's picture sat.
Lily sat there for a while. She had a study break and then it went to lunch. She sighed relaxing in the large room. It reminded her of family and she knew how much she cherished the home and love. Lily left the room knowing she might never get it open again. She didn't mind.
A few days passed and nothing happened between Lily and James. Lily hadn't seen John in a day or so and was becoming annoyed. When she ran into him in the hall she grabbed his arm and pulled him into an empty classroom.
"John, WHERE Have you been?" Lily snapped at him and pushed him away as he tried to kiss her. He looked taken aback and blinked at her.
"Lily, I was here at school. I told you, I was. Lily, I was in the library!" John said and Lily could tell he wasn't telling the truth. She just shook her head in disbelief and walked away. She didn't want to have to deal with John or anyone at the moment. She needed to escape.
"LILY" she heard John calling after her but she ran from the common room. She needed to get out to leave the room. It was too cold for her. She walked for a while and found herself walking into the Room of Requirements. When she stepped into the room she blinked seeing the room changed into a study room. There was a table and there still was a fireplace, there were snacks, and a shabby piece of parchment lying on the table. Lily walked over and saw it was just blank. She ran a finger over the parchment she felt there was more to it. When her finger grazed over the edge words appeared.
In messy hand writing that she recognized somehow, the words Mr.'s Moony, Padfoot, Worm tail, and Prongs…Say Hello to Mrs. Evans, and Mr. Prong's ads that Mrs. Evans has beautiful eyes. Lily blushed as she saw this. She had heard those names; those nick names all the time in class. She forgot who they were.
"Evans" James's voice came from behind her. "You returned? I didn't believe that you would return to the Room of Requirements." Lily turned and saw no one behind her.
"Wh-sh-show yourself!" Lily whispered barely audible. She moved her hand in front of her. Not so far in front, barely even two inches in front of her and felt something solid. Still, nothing was there. Nothing she could see. She gasped as she felt the solid body in front of her. She saw in front of her how the air began to wrinkle, Wait…air couldn't wrinkle? She thought and gasped. She saw it wrinkle more and more, and then she saw it wasn't even the scenery. In front of her, was James Potter? Standing beneath a cloak. "Y-you have an-err invisibility cloak?" Lily gasped looking at the fabric in his arms.
"Yeah," James said with a smile. "Do you want a go with it?" James asked smiling at her. She knew it would be a first time moment, a once in a lifetime event. Using an invincibility cloak. She nodded slowly, and James moved the cloak over her. She smiled at him but he couldn't see. He kept his hand on her shoulder so he would know where she was. He didn't want his cloak to be jacked.
Lily closed her eyes and just loved the fact that no one could see her. She was free to be herself. She felt liberated. She was happy for the first time in the month. She felt a slight draft and opened her eyes to see James was now beneath the cloak with her. He was smiling at her. "Lily, you do know…I had to do it" James said in a calm way. His face didn't seem strained at all.
"Had to do what?" Lily asked confused and didn't understand what he was getting at.
"Nothing" He said a playful twinkle in his eyes. Lily didn't even notice how he was looking down at her. His eyes soft, and in such a way that would make any girls heart melt.
"What was it Potter?" Lily asked getting annoyed and looking straight at his chest. She felt his hand move to her lower back and him squeeze closer to her. "What did you do Potter?" Lily asked nervous.
"Its nothing" James said and she saw the glint in his eye. She didn't think anything of it. For a moment she thought she saw him glaring at the wall, but his gaze softened too quickly to tell.
"POTTER" Lily hissed quietly. She wanted to know. Her curiosity was getting the best of her.
James just laughed and his hand settled on her lower back. "I was joking Evans…I just think you look…cute when you're mad, and curious." James laughed. "Your eyes turn into a green fire with your emotions…." His voice drained off, and Lily dind't hear the words but just felt the humming of his voice in her ears. She was eating it up like chocolate.
They both leaned in and Lily moved her head. She wanted to see his eyes. She couldn't tell him, but she had a soft spot for his eyes. They were so breath taking to her. As she leaned her head up to see his eyes he moved his head down to look at her. Or so she assumed he was doing. The moment seemed to go in slow motion. They heads moving closer and closer. Their lips grazing slightly, then the pull and hunger for more ached through her. She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed James again. She felt it was the right thing to do, or just what she wanted to do. They innocently kissed for a moment under the cloak.
It seemed like forever, her stomach was fluttering like a million butterflies were released into the pit of her stomach. She felt James's hand move up into her hair and he pulled her closer to him. She didn't resist, she wouldn't resist, and she couldn't. She gasped quietly as he began to kiss her on the neck. John had never kissed her like this. She knew it was wrong, but she dind't care. They made out under the cloak for a while until it slipped off and they stood in the middle of the empty room making out. It was thrilling for her.
"Why do we do this James?" Lily asked after he stopped kissing her. She was looking up at him confused. She needed answers, and she had none to give.
"I don't know Lily" He replied and picked up his cloak. He put the cloak in his pocket and smiled at her. "Like the hair Lily, its good on you" he smiled and Lily saw in a small old mirror that she had horrible hair. She had make out hair.
She looked down at her watch and gasped. It was after curfew. "Potter! It's after hours! If were caught, we'd be revoked of Head girl Head boy titles!" Lily squealed. She looked up at him nervously. He picked up the parchment from the table and hid it in his pocket. He grabbed his cloak and walked to the door.
"You coming Evans?" He asked holding the cloak out so she could get into it and walk down to the common rooms. She walked with him in the cloak and it took quite a while. They had to stop and make no sounds and every so often she would feel his hand snaking up her back, or he would plant a kiss on the nape of her neck. She had to stifle a moan and sometimes a giggle when he did this.
When they made their way into the common room he led her to the stairs and held her there for a moment. "Bye" He whispered and kissed her passionately on the lips. The kiss filled with all the confusion Lily had felt in the past few weeks ever since they had first kissed. "Bye" she mouthed back and snaked her way out of the cloak and up the stairs to her dorm.
"Laura" Lily said desperately needed to talk. She saw Laura sitting on her bed a look of 'where were you'…Lily blushed and sat next to Laura. "Ugh, it happened again" Lily said nervously picking at a nail. "This time he let me use his invisibility cloak. He, snuck in…and…and…we made out under it, until it fell off…and then off of it…and Laura, what do I do? I have a boyfriend, and I like him…I do, but I think I also like James! What do I do?" Lily asked her eyes bulging with pressures of her life.
"Lily" Laura said with a smile and put her hand on her shoulder. "You should do what your heart tells you to do." Laura said with a smile. "Good night" Laura said and Lily walked to her bed and fell asleep.
"What's going on? What's going to happen…" lily asked herself and ran her hands frantically through her hair. The next day after wards there was no regret or anger for what had happened. Lily had noticed that she and James were able to talk in public now. Even though she wanted to pull him off to the room of requirements and kiss him. She didn't care what anyone really thought for a while, but she knew it would be wrong. With John still they're in the picture.
At lunch Lily summoned an average ham and cheese sandwich and ate it walking up the halls. She was walking and then felt an invisible pressure on her back. She knew it was James directing her somewhere. He moved her and led her to the room. As the door closed with a thud. He threw off his invisibility cloak. Lily turned around and they were face to face. James kissed her softly on the neck. His kissing traveling and setting small fires to her skin wherever he touched her, her skin burned…she had yearned to be touched like this again. It was happening now. Lily kissed him passionately, not caring what would happen, or who could walk in. For that moment she dind't care about John, she didn't mind one bit about what he thought, did, or how he acted.
James's hand traveled up and down her back leaving her wanting to be touched more and more. He placed traveling kisses up and down her neck. Soon his hands found the small of her back and one hand traveled up her back underneath her shirt. She felt him fumbling with her bra but dind't stop him. She looked up into his eyes a yearning playing strongly on the surface of her glossy eyes. They made out like this for a while, leaning against the wall until passion took over all reason. Lily threw caution to the wind and they ended up waking up the next morning in each other's arms. Lying in the room of requirements on a large bed that had appeared.
