An hour later they had explored the rest of the rooms (a dark closet, James' bedroom, a shower room, and a small room for Harry) and were now sitting at their desks. James had his feet up on the desk, and Lily had Harry on her lap. James smiled at her as she rocked the doll back and forth. He could see the small smile on her face as she looked down a the doll. "Almost like like" he murmured.
"Yeah." Lily replayed, not taking her eyes off of Harry. "Kinda scary"
"Yeah..." James said but was cut off by someone tapping on the painting. "Wow, that relay magnifies" he murmured and went to her door. "Yes?" he asked after pulling open the door. There stood a nervous looking 5th year Gryffindor girl.
"I was told to sent to give this to the Head Girl and Boy" she said confidently, trying not to scream out 'I'm talking to James Potter!!'. She took a deep breath and handed him the letter.
James took the parchment and smiled at the girl, causing her to almost fain. "Er, thanks" he said and closed the door. He could hear the girl scream in excitement thought the door. The Head Boy sighed and rolled his eyes, not exactly liking his 'Fan Girls' as much as Sirius. "Why don't they just leave me alone?" he muttered and sat back at his desk.
"Whats that?" Lily yawned, looking at the letter as if it had three heads.
"A letter" James replied obviously.
"No? Really?" Lily said sarcastically. "I meant whats the letter about?"
"I know. I just like to state the obvious" he said and shook open the letter.
(Head Girl and Boy)
Due to Certain circumstances, Your project has been extended to last a month. I hope this does not create any problems. Please take this extra time to your advantage
Yours truly
-Mrs. Dayon"
James read off of the paper. "I wonder what the special circumstances are" he wondered aloud and tossed the paper on the desk.
(This is the continued portion of the chapter. I do hope you enjoy it.)
"Probably just the Christmas Holidays. She probably wants the babies to experience their first Christmas being taken care of." Lily said and stopped rocking Harry. She looked up at James and smiled a small smile. Which vanished instantly. 'What am I doing? This is James Potter. I canf be falling for him!' she thought and shook her head, wanting the emotion to leave her mind.
"Hmm." James hummed and noticed her shake her head. 'She seems to be doing that allot lately' he thought ' 'specially when ever we agree on something'. A sly grin escaped onto his face. He knew exactly why she did that. 'She likes me' he told himself, and stared at the red-head in front of him.
"What?" Lily asked, noticing the grin on his face.
"Nothing. Oh, nothing." he said quickly, the grin stayed firmly in place. "You should probably put Harry to sleep. It's getting later" she stated, now looking down at the doll in her arms. 'that thing has relay grown on me' he thought and sat back down at his desk, just as Lily stood up from hers.
The Head Girl walked from the main area to a small oak door. This door led to Harry's room. She quietly turned the brass knob and the door creaked open. Light flooded into the room, illuminating all the items located inside. A small baby crib, changing table, and other baby related items. Lily walked over to the crib and placed Harry inside it. She pulled the small covers over him, and smiled. She turned around and jumped at the sight of James. A small cloud of dust was issued out of the old carpet as she jumped. "Don't do that!" she whispered very annoyed at his constant unannounced appearing.
"Do what?" he asked, a slight smile on his face.
"Never mind, never mind." she replayed and walked out of the room. She strode over to her desk and sat down. Picked up her quill and thought about the potions essay they were supposed to complete over the Christmas Holidays. She found this very hard becaused James had now started staring at her from his own desk. "I'm going to take a shower. DO NOT" she said, car fully putting emphasis on the last two words "com in. Got it?"
James nodded, not really paying attention to what she said.
"Good" Lily said and stood up. She walked over to the shower room and entered. With a click, she magically locked the door. 'So he can't get in. No matter what he try' she thought and stripped her cloths off. Fifteen minutes later she emerged out of the steaming water. The Head Girl sighed when she realized that she hadn't brought any spear cloths in the room. Much to her dislike, she wrapped a towel tightly around her chest and opened the door a bit. "Control yourself" she called thought the open space. With another sigh, she stepped out of the steamy room and into the cold one.
James' jaw dropped a little when she stepped out. Unable to say anything, he just stared at her.
