Chained for life
chapter 2

"Bloody hell, you are the hardest person to get up Lily Evans!" That is what Lily awoke to, the dulcet tones of none other the 'the' Lizzie Horton. She groaned... It felt like 5 am she pulled her hand out of bed and let it wander on her bedside table for her phone when Lizzie enlightened her with the needed information

"Its 3 pm. And none of this its holidays bla, bla, bla crap you have been sleeping all day! I have something planned so wear your swimmers is all I will say" and with that she left. Lily rubbed her eyes trying to comprehend what she said and grudgingly got up. She put her baby blue binki on and a strapless beach dress then a touch of eyeliner, mascara and foundation then picked up her sunnies and slowly made her way down stairs. Once someone wakes her up she can't just sit in her bed she has to get up. "Lucky for Lizzie" is all she could say.

Lily looked a lot more awake then she felt but acted awake for Lizzie, she seemed to have some pretty exciting plans. she found her in the kitchen eating some pancakes mum must have made before leaving with dad for work, they worked at the bank and were the managers of most of the banks around here which meant they didn't really get holidays, she slid in next to Lizzie when she looked up from her plate,

"Finally you're up! I was about to come and drag you out of bed" Lily just grinned and looked at her, she was wearing, a pair of blue shorts with a white singlet showing her multi-coloured swimmers clearly. Her blonde hair was pulled up in a rough ponytail and her sunnies sat neatly on her head. She got up and held out a thick black head band to her

"You need to put this over your eyes once were outside okay?" she smiled, Lily was getting curious now but rather excited all the same. She nodded her head and put it on once they were outside and Lizzie lead her somewhere and they sat down on a beach and said to keep quiet for a second. Lily and Lizzie weren't sitting down for more than a minuet when someone grabbed her hand a put a heavy metal thing around it and Lily heard a click and they let go. She ripped off the headband with her other hand. She saw a very thick, strong, secure chain around her wrist and it leading to the last person she wanted to be changed to in the world, James Potter. He was looking equally as stunned. Keeping her cool she pulled her hand (and James's) and asked coolly

"Take it off Sirius and Lizzie" she just shook her head and picked up the key for the lock holding the chain together and put it in her pocket.

"No, it's not coming off until you get along" Lily lost it after that.

"WHAT! You expect me to spend I don't know how long with this, this pig!?" She was fuming. Thoughts were running through her head then plans then annoyance took over and that's all she had room for. She looked at James he was glaring at Sirius. If looks could kill Sirius would be a pile of dust by now.

"Lizzie give me the key please" Sirius held out his hand not waiting for an answer. Lizzie reluctantly handed it over. "Yes! We had won! I'm so killing Lizzie and Sirius after this and now I think about why not kill James while I'm at it" Lily thought. Sirius took the key and threw it into the bin.

"you guys are not going anywhere without one another" Sirius crossed his arms and took Lizzie away. James and Lily just stared after them in shock. She didn't know what to say. Her first instinct was to search the bin. But the bin truck came up and emptied the bin. Lily was staring longingly towards the spot where the bin stood hopping that maybe if she stared long enough it would come back. James's voice brought her back to earth,

"So... Where are we going to sleep?" Lily turned to look at him and he had that stupid grin on his face. She did not want to think about that.

"WE won't be sleeping anywhere. We are going to get this thing off and vola you go back to your insufferable world and I'll go back to mine. Got it?"

"Um Lily? You do realise they threw out the key?"

"Yes"

"…and that the chain is one of those non-cut chains?"

I hesitated "yes"

"Ah so may I ask, how your going to get it off?"

"Yes well I hadn't thought of that yet" Lily snapped. James backed as far away as possible; considering he had a fat chain on his hand it seemed quite hard.

"Let's just go find Lizzie and Sirius okay?" Lily asked grudgingly. With that they walked back to her house and found them sitting at the bar laughing. They both stopped when they walked in the door and turned to look at us. Lily glared at Lizzie. She shivered. Lily mentally did a victory dance; her glares had gotten pretty good lately. Then Lizzie spoke

"If you're coming here to ask us to take it off I would have thought the two smartest people in our grade could have worked it out that we can't take them off." With that she turned back around. "You can't do that" Lily thought angrily.

"So when and how do you get it off" Lily questioned angrily. This time Sirius spoke.

"When you two learn to get along we will then think up a way of getting it off but for now you two are just going to have to live together" James perked up at this.

"You know what Lily?" this couldn't be good,

"What James?"

"I feel like a shower"

"No! No! No! No!" She hated Lizzie Horton with a passion. "Maybe I should start a club" thought Lily. Sirius just laughed at this but Lizzie paled.

"I'm sorry I didn't think it out…"

"That is just it Lizzie! You never think anything out! Now my holidays are going to be ruined by so annoying prat! Argh I can't take this!" and with that Lily went to storm up the stairs but was abruptly pulled back by the chain and fell onto James. Wow he was strong. Wait no, don't think about that. She punched him.

"Ouch, that hurt" dude his stomach is like a rock.

James laughed "do you realise you just complimented me?"

I just glared at him. Then Lily turned to Lizzie and Sirius who were looking at us with smug grins on their little faces.

"So where are we going to sleep then?" by now it was around six and Lily wanted to know what they were doing.

"Well James has a large bed so why not over there?" Sirius said with an ever smugger grin. With her free hand she rubbed her forehead to stop herself from slapping him across the face.

"fine, Lizzie you can write a note to mum and dad saying we are just staying at James and Sirius's house for a couple of days and they can find us next door number 58." Lily started to walk up stairs again but stopped when her "partner" wasn't following.

"James…I need some other clothes." He lifted an eyebrow and nodded his head and followed her up the stairs to her room. He was walking slowly so she had to pull him along into her room when he stopped unexpectedly.

"You know, I always dreamed that one day you would be pulling me into your room, us, chained to together" he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. She held back the vomit that was about to come out for the gross mental images.

"That James would never happen. Now can you come over here so I can pack a few things?"

"Ah well I suppose I'll just have to keep on dreaming" Lily rolled her eyes at him and just picked up a few things and threw them into a bag and they went back down stairs.

"So what's for dinner guys?" Sirius asked. James nodded his head in agreement and as if his tummy agreed it growled. Lizzie laughed and Lily just rolled her eyes. Boys.

"Lets go get some pizza" Lizzie suggested the boys nodded and she just shrugged and they left for the pizza shop at the end of the street.

* * *

"Okay its getting late I think I'll head back to bed, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye" Lily heard Lizzie shut the door, and now there were three. Sirius took Lizzie's lead and said he wanted to get some sleep after the long day. James looked at her after Sirius left and asked

"Um, well, yes do you want to go to sleep now?" his tone was soft and she could tell he knew this was going to be hard so she bit back her retort and nodded

"Lead the way" she said sadly, he just smiled at her. Lily just rolled her eyes; this is going to be a long night. As they came to his room Lily was surprised to see it was pretty clean for a guy's room. The walls were covered in posters and the large bed was situated in the middle of the back wall. She put her bag down and pulled out her pajamas and looked at James who was staring at me.

"Ah James could you like look away?" he smirked but obliged.

She pulled off her dress and put her sleeveless nightie on and then pulled off the top to her swimmers. Lily turned around to see James staring at the opposite wall pretending to be very interested in one of his posters. She smiled, he didn't look.

"Okay you can look now" he turned around and smirked. Lily glared at him.

"Well I guess it's my turn…how am I going to take this top off though?" it was her turn to smirk at him.

"Guess your going to have to cut it James." And before he could speak Lily had pulled out a pain of scissors that were lying on his desk. He looked at her alarmed but Lily just smiled.

"Fine. I don't like this shirt anyway." Oh. "Damn, this isn't as fun anymore" Lily thought. But all the same she handed him the scissors and he cut down the top and she stared at his nicely toned body. James smirked at her

"You know it's not very nice to stare." Lily got her senses back and just rolled her eyes.

"Okay well I just sleep in my boxers, I hope that's alright?" she nodded

"But you have to stay on your side of the bed okay."

"But the whole bed is mine…"

"Not anymore. Good night and you better not try anything during the night"

"It's not really my style"

"Better not be"

We got into the bed. It smelt like James. Quite a nice smell actually. Lily breathed it in and closed her eyes. When she opened them James was just staring at her.

"What?" she demanded

"Nothing, I just never thought you would willingly get into my bed" she rolled her eyes and decided to try and sleep.
