Chapter Seven

Lily had disappeared into her room about fifteen minutes ago and James was still inspecting the common room when he heard it; A loud scream… Lily's loud scream. James reacted before he even processed what had just happened. He flew up her stairs and through the door without even knocking. The sight of her empty room made him hesitate half a moment. He noticed her school robes disregarded on her bed and the bathroom door was cracked open.

"Lily?" James asked cautiously opening her bathroom door. In that second his eyes could not restrain themselves. In that one single second he saw her like never before. She was standing with her back to him in nothing but her knickers. Her dark emerald green lace lingerie. They looked so lovely against her pale smooth skin. Lily's body was perfect and elegant, her back slightly arched with her hands above her head, letting her hair loose. Only a lone second had passed, but for James he felt trapped in an eternity. At the sound of her name and the opening of the door her body turned in shock and James caught sight of Lily's beautiful lace bra cupping her full breasts. His breath caught in his throat.

"James!" Lily said with a mixture of shock and anger. He knew he was caught, surely she could see the lust that clouded his eyes. "What are you doing?!" she asked practically screaming. Lily didn't even bother to cover up or protect her modesty. James turned away closing the door slightly behind him, leaving it open just a crack and leaning against it.

"Lily…" James pleaded, "I am so very sorry. I heard you scream and I… I panicked I guess." He attempted to explain, blushing furiously even though he no longer faced her. "Are you… are you okay?" He asked lamely, knowing that she must be.

The door was yanked away behind him and for a moment he was falling. He found his balance and righted himself, turning to look at her. Lily stood in the doorway, now clad in a golden bathrobe, her curly red hair cascading down her back and shoulders. Unfortunately James could still see the outline of her undergarments through the thin, satin like material. Images of her filled his head and James cursed himself, blushing again.

"I'm fine Potter." She told him icily. He groaned internally, they were back to surnames. "I shrieked in excitement. My bathroom is nothing short of heaven." It was only then that James notice anything about the bathroom. From what he could see behind her, she now owned a small spa. There were a dozen or so lush looking benches, with potted plants all around. In the middle of the chamber there was a large in-ground tub that resembled a large swimming pool. In the middle there stood an extravagant tap.

"Well I really am sorry Lily." James told her, not quite making eye contact. "All rationalities temporarily went out the window when I heard you scream." He sheepishly admitted. James was sure his ears deceived him when he heard her rich warm laughter.

"You just saw me half naked, should I be the one to act all embarrassed?' Lily teased, smiling broadly looking up at him.

"Well… I just don't want you to think I was a pervert or anything." He mumbled.

"Do you honestly think you'd still be standing if I thought you did that on purpose?" she laughed, shaking her head. He couldn't believe how good natured she was being about the whole thing. "Next time you should wait for a response though." James nodded and they stood awkwardly for a moment. "Well?" she looked at him expectantly, when he didn't catch on she continued, "If you don't mind Potter, I was about to enjoy a bath." He nodded again and started heading for the bedroom door acknowledging his dismissal. "Oh, and Potter?" she asked sarcastically sweet as he turned once more, his hand on her bedroom door. "I guess I should wish you 'sweet dreams', as you've just seen enough to guarantee your dreams will be sweet for weeks, I'm sure." Lily told him knowingly, returning back to the bathroom closing the door. He merely stared at the door for a moment and walked out clearly disgruntled. Once safely back in the common room James fell into a chair in front of the fireplace.

"You have no idea Lily." James whispered, sighing as he closed his eyes, a small smile playing his lips.
