Chapter 12

Remus awoke in the morning thinking of ideas on how to cheer Lily up. Figuring James would be easiest to wake up he headed down to his bedroom, the door wasn't closed all the way and he pushed it open more hoping it wouldn't creak. When he peered in he received the shock of a lifetime. James was lying in his bed as expected, but Remus didn't expect Lily to be lying there next to him. Her arm was slung across his chest and James had one arm loosely looped around her, Lily's red-hair spilling everywhere across the bed.

Remus covered his mouth to keep him from saying anything; he quietly slipped out of the room wondering if he should wake his friends and see their reactions to the situation. Slowly Remus walked over to Sirius' room to find him already awake digging through his trunk.

"Padfoot, have you seen Prongs and Lily?" Remus questioned trying to hold in his laughter.

"No, what's going on?" Sirius stood up.

"Come see." Remus waved him across the hall and Sirius peered inside the room.

"They fell asleep together?" Sirius asked stepping back out.

"Apparently, I don't know if it was an accident or otherwise though."

"Haha, let's go get Peter." Sirius moved towards their last friend's door to wake him up.

James woke up to find a female arm slung across his chest. At first James freaked out thinking his friend's had tricked him into doing something he'd ultimately regret. Then James turned his head on the pillow slightly to look at the girl beside him. He did a double take. Lily Evans was sleeping next to him, her face soft as an angel, a small smile caressing her face.

Suddenly Lily let out a small sigh and snuggled herself closer James, he swallowed. His heart was beating about a mile a minute; he wanted to get up but didn't want to disturb Lily. His left arm was starting to fall asleep, he was going to try and move it gently when Lily moved again.

"James." Lily whispered in her sleep and now she was lying half on him, her face by his neck, he could feel her soft breath and it was sending electric sparks through his body. After a moment James realized the reason he could see things so clear was because he'd slept with his glasses on… again. There was laughter in the hall and James figured that his friends had seen his predicament and found it extremely funny.

"Lily." James said quietly touching her shoulder, she only sighed. "Lily, could you please wake up?"

"Huh?" A response, James wanted to yell in joy.

"Lily, it's time to wake up." He told her a bit louder and Lily's eyes snapped open and took in the situation.

"I'm so sorry!" Lily quickly rolled off of him, now not facing him. She swung her legs over the side, only Lily knew that her face was completely red.

"It's fine." James told her sitting up and shaking out his arm.

"Wait, how did we end up sleeping in the same bed?" Lily asked suddenly, turning to face him slightly.

"I'm guessing that after our chat last night we both fell asleep." James told her honestly.

"You decided to sleep with me then!" Lily now felt slightly angry at him, though she loved the prospect of waking up next to him.

"Well that all depends on what you mean." James wiggled his eye brows at her and Lily realized what she'd said.

"Don't twist my words around." She grumbled, wishing her stomach wasn't doing flips at his comment.

"Fine." James complied. "Look I remember tucking you into my bed scared that if I tried to put you back in your room I'd wake you, I was going to make a bed on the floor when I must've passed out onto my bed."

"I believe you." Lily said softly and James breathed a sigh of relief. Her stomach suddenly rumbled quite loudly.

"Let's go get you some breakfast." James smiled sweetly at her and pulled her to her feet, he almost kept pulling until he kissed her, but let go quickly when the thought entered his head.

Both of them headed out the door only to be stopped by three boys all leaning up against the wall trying to look casual.

"What were you two doing in there?" Sirius asked suggesting things by raising his eyebrow.

"Sadly, nothing like that." Lily said, but it sounded like just an exhaled breath, only James caught the undercurrent of words and his heart thudded painfully.

"Sleeping." James replied with a straight face and Remus chuckled.

"Sure looked like it." He told him and both James' and Lily's jaws dropped.

"It was!" Lily protested quickly and Peter smirked at them.

"Uh-huh, we believe you."

Lily stormed off not in the mood for teasing; Remus, Peter, and Sirius all looked a little shocked at her reaction. James threw them a pained expression and rushed after her.

"Hey Lily, they didn't mean it." James tried.

"I'm just not in the mood, too much stuff has happened." Lily wiped a tear from the path it was making down her cheek.

"Don't cry Lily." James whispered bending down to her level.

"I want my family!" Lily cried into his chest and James just held her gently.

"Let's just wait and see what happens okay. I'm sure your mum and sister are fine." James bent down and picked Lily up gently.

It was like holding a crying child; Lily wrapped her arms around his neck burying her face in his neck, her legs straddling his waist. James rested one arm under her, holding her up and the other held her close to him. He carried her to the kitchen where his mother was fixing breakfast.

"What happened?" She asked rushing over.

"The guys started to tease her and it upset Lily." James explained while Lily started to sniffle, her tears slowing.

"Oh Lily, I'm so sorry. How do you want me to punish them?" Evanescence asked in all seriousness and Lily giggled.

"You should make them do something muggle." Lily joked and James grinned at her, wanting nothing more than to kiss her at that moment.

"I'll see what I can come up with." Evanescence grinned at Lily's now happy mood.

I'm going to go watch some TV now, sorry guys, I'll work on the next chapter some too. I'll probably have it done today. I'm in such a BTR mood, I AM A RUSHER! lol
