Enjoy! (By the way, we aren't J. K. Rowling ........)
Lily was sitting in Transfiguration, successfully turning her rabbit into a desk. James however wasn't having as good luck. He was sitting next to Lily and intensly concentrating on trying to turn his raccoon into a chair. Unfortunately it still had ears.
"The trick is to concentrate with all your mind. Mr Potter, I find it hard to believe that you have found a way to concentrate whilst simultaneously staring at Miss Evans as though you've never seen a girl before." Lily's cheeks burnt red with embarrassment, but James was unfazed.
"Oh no, not at all miss. I wasn't," said James confidentally.
"James you were." Mary stated.
"No, I wasn't"
"James it was kind of plain to see that you were staring at Lily!" Mary replied.
"Oh yea, I was staring at Lily. I just wasn't concentrating."
Professor McGonagall after watching the exchange, sighed and turned her attention to another Ravenclaw student who was having trouble ridding his desk of fur.
"Pssst," James whispered, "Lily!"
"What do you want?" she hissed back. Lily was trying to concentrate on turning another rabbit into a chair.
"Here!" He passed her a note with a lily attached to it.
"James, you should be concentrating on your chair. But thanks." James winked and turned back to his chair. Lily, removed the lily and transferred it to her bag and then opened the note.
Lily,
Sine amore, nihil est vita.
Without love, life is pointless.
Without you, i'm lost.
James.
"James! James!" Lily cried, running down the hallway to where James was standing talking to Remus.
"Hey," James replied "What's up?"
"Nothing much." Lily answered, "Actually, this." Lily stood up on her tiptoes and pressed her lips to James'. Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed him softly and then more passionately. Pouring all the emotions from the previous night into the kiss, she deepened the kiss. James had looped his arm around Lily's waist and his other hand was cupping her cheek. He, likewise was filling the kiss with all the stress he was feeling form having to make sure that she was always alright to trying to handle all the homework he was getting.
Remus, who had been standing next to James, said, "Um... hello? I think i'll just leave. Yeah. See you later James, Lily." Gathering his books from the ground, Remus glanced one last time at the embracing couple before shaking his head and walking away down the hallway towards Gryffindor Tower.
Meanwhile, Lily had unconciously grabbed James' tie and pushed him against the wall. As they started to get more into the kiss a soft cough interrupted them. At the exact same time, both jumped away from each other. Lily crashing into a passer by and James slamming his head into the wall.
"Oww!" James yelped, rubbing his scalp. Lily, meanwhile, was detangling herself and apologising profusely to the student she had hit.
The owner of the soft cough, winked at them both. "Prehaps you shouldn't do that in public. you must remember to set an example." Dumbledore said, wiping his half moon glasses and walking away. James turned to Lily,
"Hey! We didn't get in trouble! We should do this more often!"
"Maybe not in public." Lily replied, straightening her robes.
"I'm guessing you didn't come see me just to kiss me?" James asked.
"Oh! Yeah! I wanted to ask whether you wanted to go with me to Hogsmead next weekend?" Lily asked hopefully, as she had had an exhausting day and was looking forward to the relaxtion time. As Lily had said this, James eyes had widened in forgetfullness.
"Erm, Lily, I would absolutely love to, but I'm busy," James replied, looking at his feet.
"Ok, right. What are you doing?" Lily asked skeptically, as she doubted very much that it was studying.
"Um, I, er, I, um, I have some buisness to discuss with Remus. You know, secret men's buisness" James tapped his nose.
Lily gave James a strange look, then gathered her books and started to walk back to Gryffindor Tower, with James running to catch up.
Lily walked down the hallway after lunch towards Potions, chatting animatedly with Mary. Suddenly, she froze.
"Hey, Mudblood, I see you don't have your blood traitor boyfriend here to protect you," Amycus Carrow said, stepping out from behind a suit of armour.
"Yeah, you scum; your boyfriend won't be able to help you at all once we've had our fun." Allecto Carrow commented, revealing herself as well from the other side of the hallway. Lily continued to ignore them and started walking again with Mary following behind her.
"Look at me when I talk to you!" Amycus shouted, reaching out to grab her arm. Lily, after carelessly throwing her books to the ground, had in less than a second had grabbed his arm and twisted it around his back, bending it into an un-natural position. "Owwww!" Amycus wailed. Lily tightened her grip and hissed, "Feel like apologising?"
"No." Amycus replied weakly. Lily released Amycus and pushed him away, then she stepped forward and connected her fist solidly with his face, feeling a grim sense of satisfaction as she felt his bone snap under the strain of his blow.
"LILY! What the hell?!" Mary shouted, trying to get to Lily through the throngs off people that had gathered after Sir Cadogen had run through the halls shouting about the death threats. Blood trickled down Amycus' face and his eyes hardened. He stumbled forward and tried to grab her neck. Shimmying out of the way, Lily executed a perfect butterfly kick, with both legs hitting him in the shoulder and head, Amycus crumpled to the ground and Lily spun around.
Descending on her with a murderous glare was Allecto. Allecto clumsily swung her fist but Lily ducked out of the way and Allecto stumbled off balance. Standing upright, Lily quickly and efficiently slapped Allecto across the face and watched with a grim sense of satisfaction as Allecto's head snapped with a sickening crunch to the side.
"Why you little-!" Allecto was cut off as Lily bounded forward and grabbed hold off her hair.
"Still want to finish that sentence, Carrow?" Lily asked, gripping Allecto's hair tighter, her silent answer prompted Lily to continue. "Didn't think so. Now, Don't even think about doing that again. Your skills are useless and quite frankly, you're pathetic. I don't know what you were hoping to achieve doing this but you failed. And next time you have the idea of trying to kill me, I would advise banishing that thought from your mind in order to miss out on the opportunity of being completely embarrassed." Removing her hold on Allecto's hair, Lily reached out and pushed Allecto backwards. Allecto stumbled backwards into a suit of armour, collapsed and hit the floor, emitting a low moan.
Applause erupted around Lily, and as she turned to face the onlookers. Her face showed genuine surprise when she realised her 'display' had been watched.
"Excuse me!" Professor McGonagall's voice echoed loudly through the hall. Worry lines suddenly creased Lily's forehead as she realised that she was going to get into a lot of trouble. "Miss Evans! You are in very big trouble, young lady! My office! NOW!" Lily was completely shocked. She hadn't even realised what she'd done until aftershe'd done it. And now she was going to be punished, possibly have her title as head girl taken away from her! Determined not to show any weakness, Lily walked with her head high after Professor McGonagall and towards her inevitable doom.
