Ch.6 Another Perfect Couple
" So then, I went to sit closer to him."
" How close?" Alice interrupted, anxious for every detail her friend's romance.
" Same armchair," Lily replied with a slight pink blush.
" Oooooh," Alice cooed, jokingly.
" Stop it!" Lily cried as her blush deepened. They both laughed. " Anyway, we were just sitting by the fire and talking. James was sort of stroking my hair and brushing it behind my ear. I've never seen him that sweet and sensitive before. It truly made me love him even more."
" Aww, that is sweet," said Alice. "Frank does that thing where he strokes my hair like that sometime, and you're right: it is nice." She smiled at the thought of her own steady boyfriend of two years, Frank Longbottom. Lily nodded.
" So then, we fell asleep. It was so nice and warm by the fire with James' arms around me." Lily sighed once more, blushing an even deeper color of maroon.
Alice grinned at her best friend's happiness," You don't have to blush around me,"
she said as she gave her friend an even wider grin." Frank and I have been dating for two years."
Lily laughed. She commenced to tell Alice how nice it felt to wake up with James there beside her, his words of assurance as they headed off to Dumbledore's office, and the speech that Dumbledore had given them. She even told Alice about the little fight they'd had on the way down to breakfast.
" You've made up, then?" Alice asked.
" 'Course we have!"
" Good. You're made for each other, just like Frank and me. We fell asleep by the fireside once last year. McGonagall wasn't as hard on us though. She took ten point and made us go up to our dormitories after a short lecture."
" Probably because you weren't Head Boy and Girl."
" Probably," Alice agreed with a nod.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her around the waist from behind. " Hi there!" said Frank.
" Bloody hell! You scared me have to death!" Alice exclaimed.
" Well, can I have a kiss from the half of you that's still alive, then?" Alice obliged happily. " I've hardly seen you lately," Frank said, pretending to be angry.
" I know!" Alice replied, exasperatedly. " Kettleburn' been keeping us so busy with N.E.W.T. Care of Magical Creatures."
Alice never even noticed that Lily had left the table. She was too wrapped up in love for Frank. Lily was extremely glad that she wasn't the only one to find her true love at Hogwarts.
A/n: Hey again! Sorry I forgot to put my disclaimer in before so here goes ( don't bother reading my rambling discliamer unless you actually plan to sue me. I don't want anyone to think less of my writing when they realize that I can be a raving lunatic when I want to be. LOL! J/k): Harry potter and all related Harry potter characters recognizable from the Harry Potter series or other sources published by Scholastic or any other publisher that author chooses to trust their work with belongs to that author and his or her publisher. I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER!!!!!!!!!! DON'T SUE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I would like to point out that this was written after the Harry Potter series. Therefore, how would it be possible to say that I made up Harry Potter ( or Lily and James Potter) or any other characters from those books? was that long enough?
j/k love from Lyny!
ps. thnx to starburstsweetie for the constructive critcism and thnx to all my other reviewers for your sweet comments. You guys are awesome! also thnx to red neck horse lover and sorry to vickiicky for spelling your name wrong befor! LOL! Also, to Mrs.HarryPotter12, Dumbledore was headmaster in Lily and James' time, because in the 3rd book, Lupin said that Dumbledore was the only headmaster who would have let him study at Hogwarts because of his warewolf problem.
