"That won't work, Sirius!" Alice said as the pair exited charms. "Why not?" Sirius shot back. "Because James gave up on her, didn't he?" "So he says" "And that means..." "I don't believe him." "Whatever Sirius" Alice walked down the hall to go to care of magical creatures. "Just get Lily in that broom closet!" Sirius yelled. "Ok Sirius." Alice met Lily after class and said "Come on Lily, I want to show you something." "Ok," said Lily confused. The pair reached a broom closet on the fourth floor. "Sorry, Lily..." Alice muttered. "Sorry about what?" Alice opened the closet and shoved a surprised Lily inside. "That!" Alice called.
Meanwhile
"Padfoot where are you taking me?" James laughed as Sirius dragged him by the arm down the corridor. "You'll see, Prongs." Sirius spotted Alice and pointed to the broom closet. Alice nodded and sighed. "Padfoot, what's going..." but Sirius had opened the closet door and shoved James inside. "James?" "LILY?" "Yes, what is going on?" "Yeah, Sirius, what is going on?" "You two are stuck in there all night..." "But why?" Lily cried. "So you two will get together...DUH!" "I told him it was a bad idea..." Alice muttered. "Whatever, Stevens! I will see you three later." Sirius walked away. "Alright, there is food and water in there and since it is a magical broom closet there is a bathroom. Two pillows and a blanket are there and I will let you out in time for breakfast tomorrow. Be thankful that it is Friday. See you two tomorrow!" Alice walked away locking the two in the closet.
"Your best friend is seriously stupid." Lily muttered sitting on the ground. "He can be, yes" James sat next to Lily, wrapping his arms around her, and pulling her close to him. Lily snuggled closer and sighed. "Well, what now?" she whispered. "Let's eat, and then catch up on sleep." James whispered back. Lily stood and walked over to the food, followed by James. The two ate as much as they could and walked into a corner to find the blanket and pillows. Lily lay the blanket and pillows down and lay on the blanket staring up at the ceiling. James lay beside her and pulled her close to him. Lily snuggled close and closed her eyes. James put his arms around Lily's waist and pulled her closer still to him. Lily got as close as she could and mumbled "Stupid Sirius, I hate him." James laughed softly "You don't mean that and he is only looking out for us." "Well, he needs to mind his own business! Goodnight, James." Lily leaned back into James's arms and closed her eyes. "Goodnight, Je vous aime, Lily." James kissed Lily's head and fell asleep as well.
The next morning James woke first and started playing with Lily's blood red, waist length, hair. He wound one curl around his finger and slowly let it go. He repeated this several times before Lily woke up. She opened her eyes and smiled at James. "Good morning, James." Lily reached up and ran her hand through James's hair. James moved his hand that was not in Lily's hair to her cheek. He caressed her cheek, still looking at Lily. James looked Lily in the eye asking a silent question. Lily nodded and James leaned closer to her. Lily leaned forward and closed her eyes. James closed his eyes and leaned forward until his lips brushed hers. Lily was about to kiss him back when she heard Alice and Sirius's voices coming down the hall. Lily pulled away from James and lay back pulling James with her. She kissed him lightly and murmured "Act asleep, love." James closed his eyes, pulled Lily close, and whispered "Je t'aime, Lily". He kissed her neck as the door opened.
