I have taken people's advice and written a longer chapter, let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Chapter 4
James was pacing in his study, contemplating the events of the day, there was still just one piece missing to this confusing puzzle. He vowed to himself that he would find out and he was almost certain he wouldn't like the outcome.
He sat down at his desk and started writing a not on a piece of parchment.
Dear Lily,
I am still a bit confused at our earlier meeting and would like to see you again so you can answer my question.
With love
James
He re-read what he had just written and wasn't overly impressed with his conclusion of it. It was too impersonal and business like apart from the last bit, but James could never say any other words of parting. He screwed up the paper into a ball and through it in the direction of the bin as he began to start another letter.
After a several attempts he finally had come up with what he deemed a reasonable letter.
To my dearest Lily,
I need to see you, I can't stop thinking about you (I know that all sounds cliché but its true). I need you to tell me everything otherwise I'll go insane. I know you're with Snape but please help me understand. If you ever truly loved me then come and see me tomorrow in Diagon Alley, outside Flourish and Blotts at 1 'o' clock. If you are busy but would like to come, send me a note at what time and place is convenient for you.
With love always
James
James kept anxiously looking out of the window of the bookshop of flourish and blotts. He was filled with fear wondering if she would show up. If Sirius was here he would punch me for being so pathetic thought James.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw a flash of red hair. Acting on instinct he launched himself out of the door and was about to leap on Lily when suddenly reality kicked in and he stopped just before he knocked her over, however he still had his lopsided grin plastered on his face.
Lily took his hand and led him through the bustling street. "wait Lily, where are we going, just a moment." Said James in confusion. Lily turned around to face him but kept her eyes facing downwards. James lifted her chin with a finger trying to get her to look at him. "Lily what's the matter" he whispered quietly. She swiftly grabbed hold of his arm and apparated on the spot leaving nothing but a loud crack behind.
The room they had apparated into was dark and cold. Although it was grand it was also very gothic and James couldn't imagine Lily wanting to be here. "Lily where are we" James voiced his wonderings. Lily hugged James. He thought this was random but hugged back anyway. She then cackled in his ear and with a cruel voice that was not her own whispered "Got you" in one swift motion she pulled the wand out of his pocket and pulled away from him. It was then that James saw the beautiful red hair turn black and the glistening emerald eyes turn into stormy grey as Lily transformed into none other than Bellatrix Lestrange.
With James wand aimed at him, she shouted "Crucio" He felt as though he were being stabbed by a million knives on every inch of his body. He tried to channel all of his energy into casting off this curse. Although it was rare, it wasn't unheard of that it could happen. Just as he was about to give up he remembered his happiest memory.
"James Harold Potter get back here this second" he had just stolen her wand and was refusing to return it. "No can do Sugarlips" he said running a few more metres away from her as he started to see her face contort with anger. Although they were now a couple they still infuriated each other all the time. "Why the HELL did you call me sugarlips" James started to smirk which drove even further to insanity and she sighed indignantly "you arrogant spectacled prat" "now look who's being mean" James teased. Thunder sounded overhead and all the other Hogwarts students went inside leaving James and Lily in peace. "Potter give me back my wand" he came really close to her so if he leaned forward about 10cm they would be kissing "I don't think I will" he whispered as it started to pour with rain "not until I've had some fun" "what do you mean by fun" Lily said suspicious with an irritated frown on her face. James raised his eyebrows suggestively. "Fine. Anything to get me out of this rain" she said exasperatedly as she stepped closer to him and ever so gently pushed her lips to his. James responded almost immediately, deepening the kiss with one hand on her waist and the other in her now drenched hair. As they broke apart after a few moments they stared intently into one another's eyes. "I love you James" whispered Lily almost too quiet for anyone to hear, however James heard. "I love you too Lily. I think I have done ever since I was 15." They kissed once more and then James gently pressed Lily's wand into her hand. "thanks" she said as she began to make her way up to the castle. "expelliarmus" she said as her wand flew around to point at him. His wand flew into Lily's hand and then she was off running away from James giggling excitedly as James tried to catch up with her, calling "come back Sugarlips"
Suddenly he felt a warmth within him and then he could feel no pain.
