Chapter 16:Untitled Sneak Peak
Snow flakes were falling all around the castle whilst the students watched them from windows. The storm hadn't left much damage on the castle, but areas around the castle were disastrous.
Trees from the Forbidden Forest had been uprooted, one of them being the cause of the broken window in the Divination Tower. The Hog's Head in Hogsmeade had suffered the worst of the storm as the barman had been out in London that night, unable to cast protective spells like the rest of the villages.
After James and Lily and found they're way out of the storm, once entering the Entrance Hall they were swallowed by students and teachers alike. Word had obviously spread that there were students out in the storm and everyone had come to wait anxiously to see if they would make it out alive.
As more and more friends surrounded each of them, ecstatic they were alive and more and more teachers around them, demanding what they were thinking and telling them they were lucky to be alive, they were separated, each being led in two different directions.
It was later that night, or in the early hours in the morning, the teachers had allowed them to return to they're dormitories to get some sleep that Lily got her chance. It didn't take long for Isabel and Melody to fall asleep or the other girls, but Lily waited until soft, shallow breathing filled the room before she silently unlocked the door and climbed down the stair case to the common room.
She pushed the big, pushy, crimson armchair over towards the window near the nearly burnt out fire. She sat down in the chair, and lent on her crossed arms that lay on the cold, stone, window silt, staring out at the falling snow flakes.
Whilst she stared out of the window onto the destructed grounds she thought. She knew her brain would be sore in the morning but she continued, determined to get to the bottom of the games her mind and heart were playing on each other.
Sure, she loved James. That wasn't the hard thing to figure out like romance movies made it seem. However the hard part was, how much? And how much was enough? She knew she loved him as much as she could in Nice, her heart filled to capacity the night of the party but after what happened since term started, would she or could she still love him that much?
She had seen a side of James that she neither liked nor wanted and when she was back in France, it was a sign she could never imagine him having. After seeing him like that, she was doubtful. Yet, what was last night all about? The rush of love and adrenaline, making her find James and the same rush James had for her. Had he ran out of the storm out of compassion, or was it guilt?
She sighed, leaning back and sinking into the armchair, thinking. She remembered Isabel once saying 'All's fair in love and war'. Did that have something to do with her and James?
'It's really going to hurt in the morning' Lily grumbled and pulled her knees up under her chin and hugged them with her arms.
