Chapter 8 The Morning After
James yawned and adjusted his glasses back right. He wanted to get up, but found he couldn't. Lily was using his chest as a pillow. James looked down at his watch and gasped. It was nearly eight in the morning.
"Lily. Lily, wake up," James whispered.
Lily moaned and slowly opened her eyes.
"Huh? Wh… what time is it," he asked.
She looked like she'd fall back asleep as James slowly moved her off of him.
"Almost eight. Listen, I need to leave before Sirius discovers my bed empty," James said.
Lily yawned and pulled a pillow close to her.
"See you later then," she said.
James smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Bye," he said.

Sirius began waking up the moment James's head hit the pillow.
"Morning," James said about too cheerfully.
Sirius laughed and putted to his face.
"Slept with your glasses on I suppose," he guessed.
James felt his face and laughed.
"What? Oh, yeah, I must have," he said.
Sirius got up and looked curiously at James.
"You all right," he asked.
James smiled, but didn't look at Sirius.
"Never better," he said.

Sirius noticed James staring at Lily before they entered the park later that morning.
"I still think you should wait to tell Lily," he said.
James's as grew. He had only just realized he hadn't told Sirius that Lily all ready knew.
"Yeah, about that…" James began.
But it was too late. Lily was running up to them.
"We must stop meeting like this," she laughed.
James didn't have time to say anything back. He had just spotted Snape.
"Snape, there you are," James said.
Both Lily and Sirius found this rather odd.
"I need a word with you, Potter," Snape said.
James smiled and looked over at Lily.
"It's too late. She knows," he said.
Lily began shaking her head as Snape inhaled deeply.
"Don't worry. I promise not to tell anyone," she said.
James then looked nervously over at Sirius. When there eyes meet, Sirius's expression was a mix of anger and sadness.
"Why didn't you tell me," Sirius asked.
"I tried," James said.
Snape stormed off. Sirius and James looked over at Lily as they heard her sigh and look down.
"I guess I'm not really supposed to know," Lily said.
Lily looked up as James put his hand on her shoulder.
"It's just… you have to be extremely careful not to let anything slip," James said.
"I won't," Lily promised.
AN:
One more chapter to go. I don't know if I'll be able to update anything this next week due to the fact I'll be taking my finals. I need to really start looking over things again.
