I Hate Everything about You
Chapter six: Freeze
Lily arrived in her common room after classes a week after the game, she was tired. It had been a stressful week, classes were getting tougher, and being head girl came with responsibilities that Lily hadn't totally expected.
The red-head glanced at her backpack, filled with the impending doom of homework. She blinked twice before turning around and walking right back out of the common room, her homework left behind. She jumped in surprise when she found Sirius leaning against the wall outside the portrait hole.
"Geez you scared me!" She smiled up at him, silently noticing the way his eyes seemed jumpy and his shoulders were tense.
"Err…yeah sorry, you want to go down to the lake?" he asked already pushing her down the hallway.
"No thanks, I was going to head down to the common room," Lily said masking her suspiciousness.
"NO…I mean how bout' some extra Quidditch runs?" Sirius flicked his dark hair out of his grey eyes
"No really, I think I want to go see everyone in the Gryffindor common room," She grinned up at him watching as his sliver eyes flashed with nervousness.
"But you really don't wanna-" He was cut off by Hestia came running around the nearest corner.
"LILY! Come to the library with me!" Hestia grabbed Lily's hand pulling her the opposite way of both the library and the common room.
"What is in the common room that you don't want me to see," she demanded pulling out of Hestia's surprisingly strong grasp, and walking swiftly in the direction of the common room.
"NOTHING!" both Hestia and Sirius shouted at the same time, rushing to keep up with Lily.
"I can't believe you two!" she raced down a staircase.
"Lily, come on-" Sirius started to plea, but Lily cut him off with a stern backwards glare.
The portrait of the fat lady was in sight when Remus popped up from around a corridor, and he opened his mouth to speak with Lily glared at him.
"Save it Remus, I'm going in."
The Portrait Lady looked around nervously before asking Lily for the password, for the first time sense the end of third year.
"Pilliwiggin," she said shortly crossing her arms over her chest.
The sight that greeted her made her heart jump slightly.
Everyone was awkwardly standing around, trying to look as if they weren't shocked by the sight on the couch.
Everyone knew that James Potter had been silently claimed, and he was off limits. Everyone it seemed but Anna Christine Warner.
James was sitting on the couch, one hand holding open an old paperback the other resting on Anna's flat stomach. She however was lying down on the couch her head in his lap, her lithe fingers playing with the hem of his white oxford.
"Jamie, will you help me with my homework?" she pouted up at him.
"Don't call me that, and your not even doing homework right now," he tore his eyes away from his book, and glanced up briefly, his deep eyes meeting Lily's for a long split second.
She smiled at him, a bitter smile before turning back around and walking out of the common room.
"I told you." Sirius said to her disappearing form.
She lifted up her hand as she turned the corner, and flashed him something that left him, Remus, and Hestia speechless in the hall behind her.
Lily grabbed Andy's sweaty hand, pulling him along the dark corridor, finally bringing them to a stop at a random spot along the hall.
"I had a great time tonight Andy," She lied sweetly, her voice low.
"Me too Lily, I really like you," he smiled at her with his innocent smile, Lily suddenly remembered one of the characteristics of a Hufflepuff…trusting. The quickly pushed the thought to the back of her mind and smiled up at him.
"Andy, I really want to kiss you," she looked up at his sweetly handsome face, through her long dark lashes.
"I can do that," he pulled her to him by her waist. She smiled, who knew a Hufflepuff could be that smooth.
She reached her hand up and pulled him to her by his neck, pushing her lips against his. Andy responded quickly, pulling her closer to his broad form and kissing her harder.
Lily threaded her fingers into his shaggy light brown hair, peeking one eye open to look down the hall, as she heard footsteps falling ever closer. He pulled away for air, looking at her with sweet light brown eyes before kissing her again, running his large hands across her spine.
An awkward cough pulled Andy away from a smirking Lily.
She covered her glee, before turning to face James who was standing looking between her and Andy.
"Oh, hello James, Andy and I were just…err…leaving," She smiled before taking Andy's large hand in hers and pulling him along.
"Lily you know that was the head boy! He could have given us detention," Andy turned and looked back at a stunned James as they turned the corner.
"Yeah well, I'm the head girl so I would just repeal it," She lead Andy back to his common room, giving him a swift kiss before leaving him confused at his portrait hole.
She made her way back to the heads common room, her hips swaying slightly, a smile spread across her pretty face.
