Chapter 10 (Lily's POV)
"Thanks for the ride Tom," I said stepping off the bus.
"Anytime miss Lily." He said cordially.
I started up the drive, this was going to be another long day. I just wanted to get through it as fast as possible. I went through the magnificent doors, awaiting instructions from Mr. Potter, but instead when I opened the doors the house was dead silent. This is odd, where is everyone?
I went by the kitchen. No one was there. I went to the gardens. No one was there. Went back to the front room. No one was there. This was really starting to freak me out. Where the hell is everybody? What if Voldemort was here? The Potters were not exactly on his side, his dad being top auror and all. I went to my last resort. Potter.
Walking to his room I heard moaning, very scared I turned my walk into a run. What seemed like ages I finally reached his door. I burst through it not even thinking of what could happen. To my shock I saw Potter with a towel around his waist. Trying not to notice his fine toned quidditch muscles, he also had bruises and cuts everywhere. What did he do last night? He noticed me looking at him, embarrassed I quickly looked down at the floor.
"Lily? What are you doing here?" He asked with a quizzical brow
"I umm... came for work and uhh… could you please put a shirt on James?" I said my cheeks starting to flush; he smiled at this but only briefly.
"Huh…oh yeah sure," he said nicely. He went to his dresser and pulled out a Chudley Cannons t-shirt. "So what are you doing here?" he asked.
I looked at his face, my first mistake. His hair looked so sexy, all wet and falling into his deep hazel eyes. It was hard to not snog him senseless right there and then. But I resisted that urge, I sat down on his bed, being weak at the knees that is.
"What's wrong?" James said sitting next to me.
"Nothing is wrong okay, so back off!" I said sharply.
I looked into his eyes; he looked hurt at what I had said.
" Look James I'm really sorry I'm just a little scared that's all"
"Why are you scared?" he said concern all over his face.
"Volde…Vodemort…" I didn't want to say it aloud so I whispered into James ear.
" Don't worry Lily, as long as I'm here no one will hurt you…" he whispered back into my ear. I felt my heart flutter as he said those words. But I ignored them, this couldn't be happening. I vowed never to love- love? Where did that come from? Or like this boy, I suppose he isn't a boy anymore…. But he still is a bigheaded annoying egotistical prat!
I changed the subject, wanting the attention away from me.
"Where did you get all those bruises?" I said shocked,
"Oh its nothing, Lily" James said as he attempted to cover them up, but I was to quick for
him. I grabbed his arm, which was bleeding profusely.
"James this is definitely not nothing! How did this happen?"
"I can't tell you, it's not my secret to tell," he said.
My curiosity getting the better of me I asked him the question, which was bothering me the most.
"Why can't you tell me?"
"I told you the reason. I'm really sorry Lily, but I just can't tell anyone. I promised I wouldn't," he said seriously. This surprised me; James was never serious (no Pun intended).
"Okay but I will find out someday James Harold Potter," I said sarcastically.
" I will tell you eventually, but I just can't tell you right now." He said ever so sweetly.
"What did your parents want me to do today?" I asked wanting to break the awkward silence.
" They said and I quote, 'We should really let Lily have a day off, she has worked very hard over the past few days, I don't won't to work her down to the bone.' Okay so this was more of my mom then my dad, but they generally agreed to give you a day off." He said smiling.
" Oh, but my parents aren't home they went to my Dad's company party." I said standing up from the bed.
"What about your sister? Petunia or something…"
" I don't really want to spend time with her at the moment." I said with a look of disgust on my face.
"Well you can stay here if you like. That is if you want to…" He said with a hint of excitement in his voice.
He obviously wanted me to stay, normally I would've said no, but I really didn't want to spend today with Petunia. I just hope Potter doesn't try anything…
"So are you staying?" he said hopefully.
"Yeah I guess so..." At this James leaped into the air. I looked at him a bit taken a back at his behavior. James who was still jumping up and down was doing some sort of victory dance. Did I really give James this much happiness?
A/N: Is Lily finally catching on that James might actually like her? Is she in denial? Who will know what happens except for me!! HAHAHAHA!!! Unless you give me some juicy reviews!! THANX FOR READING!!!!!
