She was there, yes, but it was five minutes late. But they had Binns and what would he care?
She took her normal spot in the back of the class. Thats when she noticed everyone, expect the Binns was looking at her. No doubt it was about James.
The second she noticed it she saw him. The door was pulled open. James, Sirius and Remus appeared. Sirius and Remus quickly sat next together. That left James alone. James was searching around when he saw the one seat left. Next to Lily.
Lily would have been mad but by the look of utter hatred on face had told her that he hadn't planned it. He dropped the books on the table. He slide in the seat next to lily which was surprisingly close to her. They were at the time, so close that if they both turned in the seat at the same time they would bump nosies.
James tried to scoot over but, before he had moved, Lily garbed his hand. James looked surprised at her hand. He didn't move father away, he moved closer so it looked like they were sharing the same chair. She let go of hand but it wasn't because she didn't want to... well you know, she wanted to pass a note. She got the parchment are garbed a quill out of her bag and wrote.
James, how much do you like me?
James read the paper and wrote.
Too much. How about you?
Lily toke the quill back and sighed. She knew what was true. And she knew what she wanted to be true.
James, we didn't acknowledge each other to much 'till yesterday. And now must of the school thinks were a couple!
James looked at the parchment with frustration.
Thats not what I asked though, how much do you like me?
Lily knew this was going to be his response.
She took back the parchment and wrote.
Too much James, way to much.
James read the parchment smiling.
His hand which had been in his pocket now searched for Lilys. He found her hand and he grasped it interlacing their fingers. At first he was worried, what if she let go, what if he was pushing her to far to fast?
But his fears weren't a problem. She turned to smile at him then, she squeezed his hand.
"Is it just me or does this feel to right to be real?" She leaned in closer to his ear whispering.
James wrote using his other hand on the parchment.
I don't care... this is to good to have anything to complain about.
"Potter? Evens? The headmaster wants to see you." It was professor Binns voice.
Everyones eyes averted from what they were doing to Lily and James. And then Lily was glad that no one could see that they were holding hands. She didn't anyone to think they were going out-not yet. Although the fact they were sitting so close might have given them away.
Lily and James got to their feet forgetting that they were both holding hands. So much for them not knowing. Lily quickly let go when she noticed that they were still holding hands.
They left. James took a hold of her hand again.
Lily, who had never been to the headmaster office had to fallow James, who had been there so many times that he could have gone blind folded- after being spent around a hundred times, without getting lost.
James pulled Lily along in tell they hit the head masters office. He stopped and turned.
"I think I know what were in here for, our sleep over was all over the school this morning, you wouldn't believe how many high fives I got-" He stopped seeing the look on her face. Then he continued again but on a different topic to ease what he had just said.. "What I want to suggest is we don't say anything about the closet or the fact that you rolled me on that game. We should stick to the story that you needed help with home work and it was getting late. You fell asleep and me soon after. Got it?"
He was smart.
There was no way she would have thought of that! Of course from what she had heard he had had practice.
She nodded.
He smiled at her. And she forgot how to breathe.
She was still thinking in out when James pulled her back to realty.
"We probably shouldn't be holding hands."James said as they were in front of the office door. She didn't remember going up the stair case...
They both didn't want to let go, but neither was to thrilled about getting expelled either. They dropped hands.
They opened the door.
"You know I heard everything you said?" said Dumbledore smiling at the panicked look on their faces...
"Sir, we can explain," Lily started but was cut of by Dumbledore.
"I know about the dice, the closet and the sleep over." He smiled he sure was getting a kick out of this!
"Well I can-" said James but he was cut off again.
"And I can too!" Dumbledore sighed and twisted his head at a odd angel, twisting his finger in his beard like a little girl watching a sappy movie "Young love!"
In the thirty seconds they had been in the room, both of them had decided they would have rather been expelled. What a odd visit!
"Well you can go back to class now." said Dumbledore. Lily was about to argue that they had solved nothing when she saw the look on James face. Not a good idea! It screamed.
They walked out of the room and garbed each others hands.
"What do you think he was on?"James asked.
"Fairy dust?" Lily responded.
"I was thinking house' elfs feces but yours is possible too." said James.
