CHAPTER 7

SECRETS SECRETS ARE NO FUN UNLESS YOU SHARE WITH EVERYONE

JAMES POV

I kissed her with my hands in her hair, as close as I could get. When we broke apart, I cupped her flushed cheeks in my palm and we rested with our foreheads together, when it hit me. I could hear a faint giggling. It wasn't coming from me, and it wasn't coming from Lily, so, I peered through the cracks in the door. Padfoot, Moony, Wormtail, Evie, Alice and Frank all had their noses pressed to the door and were staring at us. Lily screamed, her face slowly coloring, a color that I knew from past experiences meant trouble.

"What the hell?" I demanded, horrified that this might be the end of me and Lily before we ever began. I lunged at the door and began banging it with my fists. They jumped back, still grinning.

"Damnit." Lily murmured from behind me. I turned to her.

"What?" I asked, immediately concerned. Lily, though she had a colorful vocabulary, it wasn't colorful like THAT…if you catch my drift.

"We admitted we love each other." She stated, as if the answer in that was obvious.

"So…?" I was at this point, very confused.

"Sooo, the door never opened. We're still trapped, James."

"Padfoot, explain." Sirius was grinning so hard he looked like a particularly sinister jakel lantern, which is this pumpkin we learned about in muggle studies class (secretly I only ever took that class because Lily was in it for Merlin knows why…well…that and I wanted to understand Tely-phones better so I wouldn't er entertain the same fiasco as the last time I tried to call Lily). That being said, I waited expectantly for Sirius's explanation. And let me tell you, it had better be good.

"Welllll, we wanted to watch." At this, Lily only turned a deeper shade of scarlet and her eyes narrowed to the point of slits in anger, " Y'know, make sure you didn't kill each other, but we figured you'd kill us if you knew, which you probably would so we decided to save ALL of our lives. Don't worry though, you'll be free sometime tomorrow when you've cooled down." He said in an utterly non-reassuring way.

"That, and we wanted to be able to prove Lily wrong." Alice added in a chipper tone that made me want to hex her. Lily was now strangely enough beginning to grin.

"Well, see you in the morning!" Remus said, and they all hurried away, seeming more scared of Lily's sudden grin than anything else. We sat in silence for a moment before Lily stated,

"Wankers."Lily stated, somewhat fondly.

"W-what?" I asked, unsure of what she had just said.
"Wankers, pricks, the Americans call them dicks. I call them friends." She stated grimly. I tried not to, really, but it was just too much so I burst out laughing. Lily scowled, but then she too exploded into fits of laughter. We laughed until I got a straight face and suggested,

"So. Wankers, huh? Well, how about mine?" I grinned. Lily stared at me like I was insane, then she slapped me in the head, grinning.

"How about not?" She responded, amused. I pouted but she just curled up against me. I stroked her hair before realizing she had fallen asleep. I shifted her weight so that we were both lying down, and I closed my eyes, relishing in the fact that I finally had Lily here with me.
