Truth Be Told
Chapter 6
HogsmeadeNote: This chapter has bits and pieces of their Hogsmeade trip, I know I haven't updated in two weeks, so I made this chapter longer than my usual 1000 words. Love ya.
Lily glanced at herself in the mirror, she had her hair out, flowing down her back, she wore minimal make-up and her clothes fit comfortably. She turned to the side and inspected her outfit. She wore a pair of bell-bottomed jeans, the bottom of the jeans completely hiding her feet; she had on a black spaghetti strap singlet and a white jacket. Lily glanced down at the white jacket and threw it off, she walk over to her closet and grabbed her dark green jumper and pulled it over her head. Lily looked at herself in he mirror and huffed 'why the hell do I want to look good for James!' Lily grabbed her handbag and made sure her wallet and wizarding bankcard was in there. Lily grabbed her Hogwarts cloak and hung it over her arm and walked out of the 7th year girl dorms.
Lily walked up to James who was waiting for her at the entrance hall. Lily stepped up behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.
James spun around and smiled at Lily
"Hey Lily, you look…wow"
Lily smiled "Do I have to remind you that you better not expect anything" Lily taunted
"Nop, I'm going to be good!" James smiled
Lily rolled her eyes "Right, I'll hold you to that"
"I'm planning on it!" James declared and gave her a charming smile
Lily smiled back at him "Should we go?" she said and gestured towards the gates
"Sure, come Lily Flower"
"Lily Flower?" Lily questioned
"Yes, you're my Lily Flower" James smiled and took Lily by the elbow and gently pulled her towards the gate.
Lily smiled to herself and looked at James who was talking in such a rush, Lily had to laugh.
James frowned and glanced at Lily "What's so funny?" he asked
"James, your talking way too fast I can't understand you!"
"Oh" James said and grinned sheepishly
Lily smiled.
Lily noticed as they entered Hogsmeade that they were one of the last groups to enter. Lily looked around, not noticing anyone familiar she turned to James.
"Wanna go to the three broomsticks?" she asked
James smiled "you read my mind!"
Lily grabbed James's hand and pulled him towards the three broomsticks
"Oi, I can walk by myself!"
"Yeah, but you walk so slow, and I'm thirsty"
"Man your pushy!"
"But you still love me!" Lily threw over her shoulder
James mumbled under his breath "That I do"
After quenching her thirst Lily lead James out into the street
"What you wanna do?" she asked James
James gazed around and almost immediately his eyes where attracted to Zonko's. James looked at Lily with pleading eyes. "Can we?" he asked childishly
"You haven't said where...oh" she said as she spied what he looking at.
"Puh-lease!" James begged
Lily laughed "Well come on then" she said
"Yaaay" James yelled and skipped ahead of her
Lily laughed and walked after him.
Lily walked past the fake wands and made her way towards James who was looking dreamingly at an object under a glass counter. Lily stepped up beside him and gazed down at the object, it was a large book, that appeared to be ancient, the writing in Latin.
"The book of revenge?" she asked
James glanced up at Lily shocked "I didn't know you could read Latin!"
"Yeah, and French and Spanish and Arabic"
"Wow"
Lily nodded "So why are you staring so dreamingly at that book?" Lily asked
James gapped " That is not just a book, it's full of ancient charms for revenge, though they are harmless, mainly for fun, I would kill to get this book!"
"Why don't you buy it?" Lily asked
James pouted "It's 80 Galleons, and plus my parents know what I buy with my money, they track everything…they would kill me if I brought it!" James complained
"Strict parents huh?" lily spoke
James nodded "I'll be back, need to go to the loo" he said
Lily wrinkled her nose "Too much info James!"
James shrugged "Be right back"
Lily glanced down at the book and gestured for a salesperson to come over
"I would like to purchase this book please" she said
The salesperson nodded and opened the case and lifted the book gently out of the case. Lily followed the salesperson to the counter.
"Can I get that delivered to James Potter on Christmas morning?" Lily asked
"Sure, miss, would you like it wrapped?"
"Sure, can it be wrapped in red and gold, I would also like to leave a note with it"
The salesgirl nodded and handed Lily a quill and a fancy piece of parchment.
Lily thought for a second, and new she would have to do this quick or James would see. Lily handed over her credit card to the salesperson, and she handled the purchase.
Lily brought the quill down to the paper
James,
When I saw you looking at this with that stupid dreamy look on your face, I have to admit I felt jealous, and then you announced you couldn't get it because of your 'strict' parents, so I decided to get it for you while you were in the loo. What your parents don't know won't hurt them!
Merry Christmas
Your,
Lily Flower
PS. There is one condition, you cannot use any of the spells on your fellow Marauders or me, otherwise I'll burn the book, got it!
Lily shook her head; James had actually dragged her into a jewellery shop. Lily looked down at the counter and noticed a dragon tooth on a silver necklace; James walked over to Lily and leant against the counter next to her. Lily smiled up at him.
"Can I help you?" the owner asked her
"Yeah, How much is the Dragon Tooth pendant?"
"50 Galleons" He answered
James whistled beside her and she elbowed him
"Is the chain silver or white gold?" she asked
"It is pure silver," the owner informed her
Lily frowned "That's no good" she muttered, "Do you have it available in pure gold?"
"Yes, miss in fact we do!"
"Well I'll get that then" Lily said
"Lily…that's a lot of money!"
Lily smiled "And Money that I have!" lily laughed
"So who's it for?" James asked
"Remus" Lily answered
James narrowed his eyes suspiciously "Why'd you change it to gold?" James questioned
Lily glanced up at James as the owner handed her, her card back and the bag the necklace was in
"Somehow, I don't think silver and Remus go together" she answered
"Are we done with the 21 questions?" She asked smiling
James and Lily sat down on the couch in front of the Gryffindor fire, as soon as they had entered the tower, the shopping bags around their feet.
"Today was fun" Lily commented
"Yeah"
"And you didn't even try anything!" Lily praised
James smiled at Lily "Only one week to Christmas" James cheered
Lily smiled at James "Yeah, can't wait, are you staying?"
James nodded "the whole group is, and you?"
Lily nodded, then leant against James; resting her head on his shoulder.
Hey all,
Hope you liked, they are getting there!
Love,
Magic-and-love
