Chapter 2

"My summer was awfully boring without you."

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that sweet," he said still holding me in his arms.

"Whatever can I do to make it up to you?"

"Hmmm… you could meet me in our corridor tonight before my first prefect meeting. And your first meeting as head boy."

"I would 'love' to," he said leaning down to give me one more kiss before we said goodbye.

I went back to the compartment that I had left Charlee, Roarie, and Jaden in, but when I entered it was now full of couples. Peter and Jaden were not looking at each other in the eyes and blushing about something. Remus and Roarie were talking quietly over a book. Sirius and Charlee were having a heated conversation. Then there was James sitting all alone in a room full of people. So I walked over and sat down next to him.

"How was Diggory?" he asked at once.

"Just fine," I replied while blushing a deep red. It wasn't that I was ashamed of Ollie its just that it is weird to talk to James about him.

"That's nice," he said bitterly.

"What are you guys doing in here?" I asked trying to change the topic.

"Sirius wanted to come, and where one marauder goes we all follow. Besides he fancies her," James said pointing to Charlee nonchalantly.

"I think she fancies him too."

"What! But then why is she yelling at him? I will never understand girls." At this we both broke into laughter. It felt good to laugh with James again.

At six pm I left the Gryffindor common room to meet Oliver. I found him in the same place that we always met, behind tapestry on the third floor.

"Oh, my gosh," I said breaking away. "I'm twenty-five minutes late, I have to go!"

"No, please," he pleaded pulling me back into the kiss.

"No I have got to go. Besides I can't get away with saying that I'm not feeling well, liar," I joked.

"Alright," he said as I gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran off down the hall to the prefect room. When I arrived there the meeting had already started, of course. So I took a seat in the back next to James who looked up at me as I was trying to re-button the top few buttons on my blouse and fix my hair by combing my fingers through it.

"How was 'Oliver' I thought he was sick? That's what they announced.

"What?" I said trying to play dumb.

"You know very well 'what'."

"Who says that I was with him and what does it matter anyway?"

"So he can't perform his head boy duties but he can snog you senseless!" James whispered angrily.

"Well he is my boyfriend!"

"And you are a prefect you should have been here twenty-five minutes ago."

"Coming from you! You have never taken anything serious in your life! You're always causing trouble! Why do you even bother to care?"

"Whatever, it doesn't matter!" he said storming out of the room as soon as the meeting ended.

"Yes, it does," I yelled chasing after him.

"Bloody Hell woman what do you want?"

"I want to know what is going on with you, what's wrong?" he stopped walking and turned around to face me. I looked down because I was a little afraid of what he would say at the moment.

"Look at me," he said gently grabbing my face and forcing me to lock eyes with him. "You want to know what is wrong with me?"

"Yes!"

"Well Voldemort is out there killing people everyday and all you care about is running around with that git of a boyfriend, Diggory." I just stood there looking up at him in shock.

"What?" I asked.

"You heard me, your family could be next because you're muggle born or even mine. You just, you just don't understand."

"I…"

"Just don't…" he said running his hands through his jet black hair. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm just stressed out."

"Its fine," I said, as I looked deep into his eyes, they are a beautiful hazel color and it was then that I realized how close I was standing to him. If he would just bend his head down we would be kissing. WHOA! What am I thinking! I LILY EVANS KISS JAMES Potter, but before I finished that thought he said, "sorry" and turned to walk the rest of the way to the Gryffindor boy's dormitories alone.
