I'm sorry this update has taken so long. I will be updating as much as I can...
I was going to murder my friend.
He paused. "We are in trouble." I held my head in my hands. "I'm engaged to Amos…well was."
James gulped. "I'm so sorry Lily."
I sighed. "It takes two..."
When I finally pulled myself together I sat up looking around the room. It wasn't mine so it must have been Potters. Well gee. His room was way nicer then mine though. Of course it was. I realized I still was naked. I blushed and covered up with the blanket.
Potter laughed. "Won't do you much good to cover up now Mrs. Potter?"
I threw a pillow at him. "Not funny." He caught it. Crap, stupid quidditch reflexes.
He laughed and set it down gently. "Lily, you shouldn't be ashamed. Your beautiful."
If I weren't still upset I probably would have blushed. I narrowed my eyes. "Does that work on anyone?"
He smirked. "Usually, but you're the only exception."
I smiled and got up, still holding the blanket, scanning the room to see the remains of my dress in a corner. "Did you have to rip my dress off?"
"I don't recall…." I walked to his suitcase and pulled on his jersey. I knew it was there since he never left it behind. It was his lucky jersey. He was smiling. He always did try to get me to wear it at Hogwarts. One year he charmed all of my clothing to say POTTER'S PROPERTY and a howler voice would shout at any boy who went anywhere near me. It lasted about a month before Remus gave into my pleas and removed it for me. He pulled on his pants and a t-shirt. While he did that I took a pair of his gym shorts. I used a detangling charm on my hair and sighed at the ring. It was shining brightly with a slight taunting gleam.
I don't know why he did it or chose this particular moment, but James pulled me close and kissed me softly on the cheek.
"We will sort this out and we shall get you back to Angus."
I frowned. "Amos."
"Whatever."
I paused and grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door with me.
He frowned. "Should I ask why I'm coming along?' He asked as I pulled him along.
I knocked on my own door and I heard crashing. I used my key and opened it. I pulled James down and I ducked from a flying vase. Sirius put a shield up. "Marlene calm down!"
Marlene was absolutely furious. "You basically raped me!" "Actually if I recall it was your idea." She growled and threw a few curses at him, which he deflected. James held onto my waist protectively and held a shield up over us as curses bounced off walls. I took out my own wand and waved it. Marlene's wand flew into my hand.
Marlene glared. "LILY!"
I glared at her. "Do you know what you did last night?" I said fuming. I felt myself turn red.
She frowned. "Huh?" I pulled out the piece of paper. She snatched it and gulped. She grabbed Sirius by his hair and showed him the certificate. He smirked. Bastard. I was going to murder him first. I wonder if the world would hate me or love me for ridding it of Sirius Black.
"Nice Prongs, you finally got the girl of your dreams."
James glared. Good. I swear if he didn't he would be number two on my list. "This isn't funny Pads, she really loves Diggory." Sirius grinned. "But she's married to you!"
I threw a curse at him and his hair fell out.
He screamed. "MY HAIR! MY BEAUTIFUL HAIR!"
James chuckled.
Sirius glared. "Defend me!"
James shook his head. "She's my wife as you put so nicely, I'm automatically on her side." I smirked triumphantly. He tried to regrow his hair but it didn't work.
I smiled. "Only I can reverse it now fess up. Was this your plan?" He made an ugly face that haunted me. "No. Marauders honor." "You have honor? Lies."
Marlene winced. "I'm sorry Lily… I know we promised not to let anything happen…and what are you going to do?"
I shrugged trying to play it off but my tears betrayed me. "I dunno…"
James held me as I felt my knees wobble. I was sure he was enjoying this. Also, his scent was going to be the end of me.
"I'll get you out of this Lily."
Sirius smirked as he remembered the counter spell and once again his hair grew back. "Prongs you know as well as I do that…" James's eyes widened and he quickly waved his wand and silenced him.
I frowned. "Know what?" James ran a hand through his hair. Marlene gasped. "Blacks right."
I stomped my foot. "ABOUT WHAT?" I shouted.
James sighed. "Wizards and witches usually marry for life…. there has never been a divorce since…"
"Forever." Marlene finished. I started crying harder. For a moment I swear I saw a hint of hurt in James's eyes. "I promise you Lily. I'll get you out of this." Sirius tried to say something but the charm was still cast on him. Marlene muttered the counter spell and he smiled. "You two make a great couple."
I looked at James who smiled. "Wish I could have swept you off your feet first," He said looking at me.
I wanted to yell at him. I wanted to blame him for everything but that smile he gave me made me melt. I nodded. "So do I."
Marlene paused. "Who's going to tell Amos?"
I wasn't prepared to answer that question. With that I fainted. I felt a pair of great strong arms catch me as I drifted into a blissful nothingness where there where no problems….
Flashback
I remember drinking a quick shot before letting James pull me into one of the clubs private rooms. We went to a couch and he pulled me onto his lap and started kissing me roughly, almost dominating me. I loved it. The way his lips captured mine swiftly and gracefully. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he slid one of the straps on my dress down and started to suck on a tender spot on my neck. I moaned and kissed him. I pulled away and looked into his eyes, which were so full of passion and life. He moaned my name like a soft prayer. I ran my hand through his hair and kissed him again. He quickly took control parting my lips slightly and exploring my mouth with his tongue, which I eagerly let him. He pulled away and cupped my face gently. He looked at me and said three simple words. "I love you."
End Flashback
My eyes fluttered open. I was in James's bed. I didn't even have to look around; it was the scent that gave it away. I heard a flipping of a page and looked over. James was reading a book on Defense Techniques to my right. He smiled when he saw me looking at him. "You feel better Lily-Flower?"
I groaned. "No nicknames."
"So I can't call you Honey Bunny?"
"Nope."
"Baby?"
"No."
"Sexy Kitten?"
"What? No."
"Wubbles?"
"No Potter."
He ran a hand through his hair. "James. Call me James."
I sat up and gave him a small smile. "James."
He smiled sadly and sat down. "I talked to my lawyer."
I looked at him. "And?"
He sighed. "He said there was no way a judge would agree with this, considering our history and circumstances."
I groaned. "But, we were drunk!"
He nodded. "I know…I doubt you remember anything that happened." Wouldn't you like to think that? I frowned anyway. "What did happen?" He shrugged. "Nothing much, it's pretty fuzzy."
Liar. I smiled at him sadly and rested my head on his chest. He stiffened but then relaxed and stroked my hair gently.
"Thank you James… I appreciate this."
I heard the smile in his voice. "Anything for you wubbles…"
I laughed and heard a knock on the door. I batted my eyelashes at him. "Can you go get it."
"Let them go away."
"James…" He groaned but got up an answered the door.
"Yes?" A man in a suit was standing there.
"Is there a James Potter here?"
I got up and walked to the door. "That's him."
He smiled and shook his hand. "Congratulations, you won the million dollar drawing."
My mouth dropped. "Is this a joke?" He shook his head.
James laughed. "You would think this is a joke."
The man smiled at James. "Congratulations young man, and you have a beautiful wife." James put his arm around me and smiled. "I'm very lucky." He laughed.
"So is your new wife. Anyway, one million dollars tax-free may I add. When shall you collect your winnings?"
I felt James gently close my mouth. I glared and then softened my voice to speak. "He'll be right down."
He nodded and left. James was shaking with laughter. "I would go to Vegas, get married and win a million dollars. This sounds like a movie."
I smiled. "Well congratulations, your having an interesting week." He shook his head. "Actually…."
I put two fingers to his lips to silence him. "Hush."
He laughed. "Actually, I was going to say I'm actually quite well off so maybe you could take it." I frowned. Oh yeah. I forgot Potters were like royalty. Maybe I could send some money to my parents. I straightened up and put my shoes on. James waited by the door. "Do you want me to go with you?" I asked.
"Yes, I do." He said holding his hand for me. I frowned but took it anyway. It made my heart flip touching him. We went downstairs and the man was waiting for us with a large check. He handed it to me and shook my hand. A lot of girls who were witnessing this were there. James glared at a lot of guys looked like they were going to come after him as soon as his back was turned. One guy had a look of pure murder in his eyes. I felt an arm wrap around my waist and James pulled me closer. He kissed my cheek. "Relax." He whispered.
I nodded and took a deep breath. I heard a blonde whispered Whore loudly. I was going to curse her into oblivion but James held me in place. Smart on his part. We went to the front desk and were given a suitcase full of American dollars. James took it from me. "I'll handle it."
I nodded and smirked.
"If my money goes missing Potter."
He gave me a stern look.
"James." I corrected.
He smiled. "It won't love."
"You act like this is real." I added smiling.
He smirked. "It is technically."
I smacked his arm.
"Ow. Spouse abuse."
"Don't be a baby."
"I'm YOUR baby."
I made a face.
He only laughed and pulled out a cell phone. He checked his messages and smirked. "Seems like Remus and his crush hit it off nicely."
"I thought he didn't like anyone."
"Well, he did like you until I threatened his existence, then there was Molly for a while, then Alexis. But he is pretty shy about it."
I laughed. "Alexis worships him. Remus this Remus that…so it works nicely doesn't it."
He smiled. "It does."
I looked at him. "Well, as much as I love being in your company. I have to go meet up with Marlene and Alexis.
He nodded. "Fair enough, I'll see you later then."
I apparated to my room and instantly put my hands on my hips. Marlene was there with Alexis who was beaming. When she saw me she frowned. "Lily Evans!" She shouted.
Marlene giggled. "Lily POTTER."
Alexis gave me a scary look. She threw a pillow at me. "You idiot. You dumb child. You…ugh. You know you drinking is bad."
I smiled guilty. "It was ice tea."
Marlene giggled. "Long Island Ice Tea."
Alexis shook her head. "You need to tell Amos and isn't he working for the Auror department this year?"
I gasped when it dawned on me. I had just married my fiancés boss.
Marlene laughed. "Your so strange Lily."
I glared at both of them but then smiled. "Potter won last night." Marlene frowned. "What did he win besides the girl he's totally in love with?"
I shrugged. "A million dollars."
Alexis gasped. "I wanted to win that money!"
"He has enough money already!" Marlene added.
I shook my head. 'I need to go now."
They nodded. "We'll meet you outside in five."
I nodded and apparated next door to James's room. Remus looked up from his book. "Hey Lily."
I glared. "I know you were there."
He looked guilty. I knew he was there. He sighed. "You don't understand Lily, why I encouraged James to take you to that little muggle church thing."
I crossed my arms. "I want an explanation later, but right now I need to find James." He pointed to the bathroom. I was about to knock on the door when it opens. James's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly moved back. He had nothing on, but a towel around his lower waist. He was simply gorgeous. His dark hair was dripping light droplets of water and his glasses were fogging from the heat. I gulped and stepped back. He chuckled after composing himself. "Always staring, former Evans."
I glared. "Funny, I am going to tell Amos now."
He raised an eyebrow. "Can we talk after I get dressed?"
I nodded. "Please."
He grabbed a set of clothes and went back to the bathroom.
Remus closed his book. "I'm heading out to find Alexis."
I gave him a knowing smile. "I still want an explanation."
He nodded. "And you shall have it, tomorrow night at the Leaky Cauldron?"
I nodded. "Perfect. See you then." He smiled and left the door unlike me walking like a normal person. Ever since I learned how to apparated it was my new form of traveling and I only walked if I absolutely had to. I sat on his bed waiting for him. James emerged fully dressed and he looked at me.
"So when do you want to go?"
I paused and frowned. " Now.."
Hope everyone had a lovely Valentines Day~ *brings out cookie jar* Free Cookies for readers :)
