Chapter 9- Putting the Plan into Action
Remus waited for Lily to come out of Potions. He was casulally standing on the wall next to the door. When he heard the professor say "You can leave," he got ready to interigate her.
Lily was the first one out. She completely ignored Remus and walzted down towards the great hall.
"Hey Lily. I still feel really bad about what happened to you a few weeks ago, so I was wondering if you wanted to come see the quidditch match with me today. You know, as friends." He invited.
"I don't know Remus." She answered
"Please. I'll never forgive myself if you don't." He begged.
She thought for a moment. She would feel too gulity saying no. "Okay. But only because you asked me." He smiled and ran off to tell the boys their pan had worked. She smirked a little. She liked being friends with Remus.
Lily looked for Remus when she got to the field. He tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped in shock and smiled when she saw it was him. "Hey Remus."
"Hi, wanna get our seats?" He asked. She nodded and followed him up the stairs to their high-in-the-sky seats. They sat there for a few minutes before the game started. They talked about their past and their families, personal things. It was nice.
Once the game started they mostly just cheered. Lily hadn't stood up. It was too hard seeing James. "Remus, I have to go. See you later." Lily whispered before turning to go down the long stairwell. James saw her leave and freaked. Their plan wouldn't work if she wasn't there to see it.
He forgot about the game and flew away towards the castle. He saw Lily walking towards the front doors. She looked like she was crying.
"Lily." James called. She turned around and wipped her eyes.
"James, what are you doing here? You have a game." She protested. He hopped off his broom and walked over to her.
"I don't care about one or two games. I care about you." He explained.
She rolled her eyes and put her hands in her pockets. "What do you want?"
"I want you. You have to let me explain. I didn't kiss Narissa, she kissed me. I would never do that to you." He told her.
"I don't believe you." She said before turning around.
"Would you belive me if I told you I loved you?" James shouted.
She stopped and looked at him. "You don't love me."
"Umm yeah, I kind of do." He replied.
"No, you don't. You can't I'm-"
"Perfect." He finished her sentence. "At least to me."
Lily looked down at her feet and shook her head. "You cheated on me."
"No I didn't. Like I said, Narissa kissed me. I don't even find her attractive." James argued.
"I just can't." Lily answered. He walked a little bit closer to her.
"Yes you can." He whispered.
"You don't understand I-"
He kissed her. She immeaditly responded. She had missed the feeling of his lips against hers. They puelld apart and Lily's eyes were still closed. She licked her lips and smiled.
"I love you too." Lily opened her eyes and stared into his.
He smiled and kissed her again. Little did they know Peter, Remus, and Sirius had followed James and saw the whole thing.
"You go James!" Peter cheered.
Lily and James laughed and looked at the four boys. They were all smiling with glee.
"Welcome to The Marauders, Evans." Sirius welcomed. She looked at James confused. He just winked at her.
The boys ran over to the couple and gave them a huge hug. "Can't breathe." Lily finally said. The boys went back to the game and Sirius filled in for James. They won the match, and the quidditch cup.
James on the other hand was riding around with Lily. She had always loved being on a broom with James. Even though she was deathly afraid of flying. He had made her feel safe.
Before they had taken off though, he had whispered different things in her ear to comfort her. One thing was something Lily remembered for the rest of her life. "You'll always be safe in my arms"
