Chapter 6
~*~*~*~
A voice had interrupted his thoughts. James looked up to see the class staring at him, as well as Professor Susay. Professor Susay had dark skin with brown curly hair that was just above her shoulders. She was the youngest teacher in the school but also one of the strictest.
"James Potter have you even heard a word I said?" Susay shouted. She didn't give James a chance to reply. "I didn't think so! Well if you think you can do it without my help. Do the sum on the board!" Susay shouted. James looked at the board. There was a very complicated equation in Greek numerals. It filled up the entire board. James glanced at the board then back at the Professor.
"1, 705." James said. Everybody looked at him then at the Professor. Everyone was expecting him to get it wrong.
"Very good James. Ten points to Gryffindor." Susay spun back around to the board. Lily leaned over to him.
"How did you know that?" She asked him curiously. James just shrugged.
"Dunno." James said. The class flew by and finally the bell rang to sound the end of classes. Lily and James were the last to leave as arranged. They went into an abandoned classroom. Twenty minutes later they left and both of them went their separate ways. Lily was the first to walk into the hall. She sat down beside Claudia and smiled.
"You're happy. Why are you so happy? Why is she so happy? It's against the rules to be happy on the first day." Claudia said rather fast. Lily looked at her friend.
"Calm down, I'm just happy." Lily said still smiling.
"She probably found out that she has already passed every single class and doesn't need to study for the rest of the year." Michelle said a bit coldly. Lily's smile faltered. Michelle looked at her friend. "Sorry. I didn't mean that. You just try and have that dragonfly for two hours." Michelle said quietly.
"It's okay." Lily said. She knew something else was wrong but wouldn't bring it up at that moment of time.
"Lily! C'mere a minute." A voice called across the room. Lily rolled her eyes then gritted her teeth, then stood up and put on a false smile. She walked over to Jordan and sat between him and his friend Andrew.
"Yes?" Lily asked as sweetly as she could. Jordan draped an arm over her shoulder.
"Andrew and me were having a discussion. And we want to know what you think. Who do you think would kill whom first in a fight Potter or Nott?" Jordan asked.
"Why do want my thoughts on it?" Lily asked raising her eyebrows.
"We just thought that since you hate both of them you would be neutral." Andrew said.
"Okay, I think James would kill Nott first. But it would depend upon what they were fighting about. If it were Chelsea, James would be dead first. But anything else like Quidditch or a girl James really liked, Nott would be dead with a look." Lily said.
"Told ya. The girl is a genius, she knows best." Jordan beamed. He kissed Lily on the cheek. After dinner, Lily spent some time with Jordan before returning to her common room to start on the mountain of homework she had received. Outside the common room door a familiar figure was waiting for her.
"Hey James." Lily smiled.
"Hey Lily. We need to talk about arrangements." James said. Lily looked at him. Then at the portrait where the fat lady sat watching them.
"Oh, okay. Come on down here." Lily said walking back the direction she came with James. The two of them walked into one of the class. James wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You miss me?" James grinned.
"Every single moment." Lily said before kissing him passionately.
"So, how was your day dear?" James asked in a posh voice. Lily giggled.
"It was marvelous, darling. And yours?" Lily asked also in a posh voice.
"Absolutely spiffing." James laughed. Meanwhile in the common room, Michelle was sitting at a table doing her transfiguration homework. She put her quill down in frustration.
"Uggh! I can't do this!" Michelle said angrily.
"What's wrong?" A voice said from behind her. Michelle looked round to see Sirius standing there. Michelle rolled her eyes.
"Like it matters to you." Michelle said angrily.
"Yeah it does. Come on tell your old friend Sirius." Sirius said sitting down beside her.
"Fine. I umm I don't understand this assignment." Michelle said avoiding eye contact. Sirius looked at the piece of parchment.
"'Describe Animagus in its greatest form.' This is where I'm an expert." Sirius smiled. Michelle gave him a weak smile as he started to explain the homework to her. Half an hour later Michelle and Sirius were sitting on the couch when Lily walked in. Michelle looked at her friend. She was very happy... and she was singing!
"Sorry girl but you missed out, well tough luck that boys mine now. We are more than just good friends; this is how the story ends." Lily sang. Michelle and Sirius looked at each other.
"Has she gone mad?" Sirius asked.
"I think she is... happy." Michelle said seriously.
"He's just a boy and I'm just a girl, can I make it any more obvious. We are in love haven't you heard, how we rock each other's world." Lily sang as she sat down beside Michelle and Sirius. Lily smiled at them.
"Hey guys." Lily said.
"What's wrong with you? Did you take a happy pill or something?" Michelle asked.
"What makes you think that?" Lily asked nicely.
"You are being nice. The ice queen is actually being nice." Sirius said. Lily looked at him as Michelle glared at him. Lily then smiled.
"I'm glad you see that about me Sirius. I mean after all that's not what you were saying when you were after something." Lily said standing up and walking away. Michelle followed her and sat with her at a table. Lily looked her friend.
"Where are Claudia and Sophie?" Lily asked her. Michelle shrugged.
"Think Sophie is with Kent and Claudia is probably sitting in front of the mirror admiring herself." Michelle said. Lily smiled weakly. Michelle hadn't noticed she was too busy staring out the window. Lily decided that this was as good time to talk to her.
"Umm Michelle, I wanted to ask you something?" Lily said nervously.
"Shoot." Michelle said still staring out the window.
"Michelle, you would tell me if something was wrong, right?" Lily asked her friend. Michelle looked at her and put on a fake smile.
"Of course I would Lily." Michelle said sweetly.
"Good, cause we're best friends and I'm just looking out for you." Lily said sincerely.
"Lily thanks. But you don't need to look out for me, I'm fine." Michelle said hugging her friend then walking upstairs to her dormitory. Michelle shut the dormitory door behind her. Nobody was in the room. Claudia obviously wasn't there. Michelle ran to the bathroom and was sick in the toilet. Tears rolled down her face. Please don't let this be happening to me, not now! Please not now! Michelle prayed. Meanwhile downstairs Lily was still sitting in the same seat. A smile danced on her face when James slipped into a seat opposite her.
"People are gonna suspect something if you are sitting here." Lily smiled.
"I know. I just thought it was time for our nightly argument." James said shrugging.
"Okay. I think I should win however." Lily said.
"Why?" James said.
"Cause I'm a girl and we always win!" Lily said a bit angrily.
"There is no way in hell, I'm gonna let you win!" James replied. The argument started. The second years and up were used to this by now. The first years, however, we're watching the Head girl and boy with amazement. The boys were glaring at James in anger and the girls were glaring at Lily with anger. Sirius was sitting on the couch watching the argument with Remus, Laura, Peter and Joey. Joey was Laura's best friend. She had short light brown hair with gray eyes.
"Lily looks angrier, a galleon says she wins." Joey said.
"I'm up for that." Laura said.
"No way. I put a galleon on James." Remus said.
"Yeah me too. Guys always win." Sirius said.
"Somehow I don't think so." Joey said. The four of them got into the exact same argument as Lily and James had. Peter just sat in the middle of them trying not to laugh. All attention was on the four of them instead of on Lily and James. Lily and James stopped fighting and watched the four of them fight. Realizing that no one was watching. James leaned into Lily.
"Meet me outside the History classroom in an hour." James said. He just wanted to kiss Lily that very moment but knew he couldn't. He was so close to her that he could smell her sweet perfume. Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She just wanted to run her hands through his hair and kiss him.
"Okay." Lily breathed. They quickly moved of in different directions, Lily towards her dorm and James towards his. Lily walked into her dormitory and closed the door. Michelle came walking out of the bathroom. She had a towel wrapped round her body and one wrapped round her hair. Michelle smiled at Lily.
"You okay?" Michelle asked. "You look a bit breathless." Michelle looked at Lily curiously.
"I umm just got into a fight with that jerk James." Lily said lying down on her bed. "What time is it?" Lily asked sitting up.
"It's just past half eight, why?" Michelle asked unwinding the towel from her hair.
"I have to get started on my homework before I leave." Lily said. Lily the realized what she said?
"Where are you going?" Michelle asked looking at her. Her long hair was wet and hanging round her shoulders.
"I'm umm meeting umm Jordan." Lily smiled.
"Oh. Cool." Michelle said. There was a knock on the door and before anyone could answer it Sirius walked in. He looked at Michelle and grinned. She was still standing there with a towel wrapped round her. It was very short on her. Michelle wrapped her arms around herself.
"Like I haven't seen you naked before, all though another time wouldn't be bad." Sirius grinned. Michelle glared at him then walked into the bathroom.
"And you want what?" Lily asked drawing his gaze towards her.
"Oh yeah. We want to know who won between you and James?" Sirius said.
"Won what?" Lily asked innocently. She stood up and pulled her transfiguration homework out of her bag.
"That argument you guys just had." Sirius said as if it was obvious.
"Oh that, I did. Now if you don't mind. Leave." Lily said to him. Sirius smiled at her one last time then left the room. Michelle poked her head back out of the bathroom. She was fully dressed now in a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt that read 'I don't bite...Hard!' Lily smiled at it.
"Is he gone?" She asked. Lily nodded her head. "Thank god." Michelle said walking out of the bathroom and towards her bed. She picked up a hairbrush and started brushing her hair. She then grabbed her wand and pointed it at her head.
"Drius." She muttered. Her hair dried instantly and went poker straight. She turned round to notice Lily looking at her. "What?" She asked.
"I thought nothing happened between you and Sirius." Lily asked. "I mean he just said he seen you naked." Lily added. Michelle went slightly pale.
"He must've meant when we were kids." Michelle said quickly.
"Oh." Lily said. She turned back to her homework. An hour later Lily walked out of the common room and towards the history classroom. She walked in and smiled at James who was standing at the window. She smiled at him.
"Sorry I was late. Claudia needed help with her homework and then I had to wait for Sophie to get out of the shower." Lily blushed. James walked over to her and kissed her passionately.
"Well worth the wait." James smiled at her. "Come on. We better get going before Sirius realizes that I have gone." James said grabbing her hand.
"Where are we going?" Lily asked as they crept towards the end of the hallway.
"Hogsmeade." James said as he stopped and pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. He looked over it once.
"How are we gonna get there?" Lily asked. He smiled at her then led her down another hallway. They stopped in front of a portrait.
"Anthological humdrums" the portrait swung open and James led her into a small passageway. Lily was in shock.
"How did you find this?" Lily asked.
"We found it in our first week in the school." James grinned. Lily had already known about the piece of paper. They had used it to play many pranks at the end of last year. Lily remembered her favorite prank she had pulled with James. . .
As planned Lily was to meet James in the entrance hall. It was the night before they were to leave for the summer holidays and Lily was having lots of fun with James playing Midnight pranks on several people around the school. Lily came down the stairs and into the entrance hall. She saw James standing there with a huge grin on his face. Lily walked over to him.
"What are we doing tonight?" Lily asked excitedly. James eyes twinkled.
"The big one." James said. Lily's eyes widened.
"We're really gonna do this?" Lily asked.
"If you want to." James smiled
"Let's go then." Lily said walking towards the Slytherin common room. They snuck into the boys' dormitories through the house elf door. James put a sleeping spell on the sixth year's room and they started on their prank. After twenty minutes they were done. Lily and James came out of the room trying to hold in laughter. Once they were outside the common room they both started laughing hysterically. They both suddenly stopped when they heard Filch. James grabbed Lily's hand and they ran down the corridor towards an empty classroom. It was locked and Lily quickly unlocked it and ran inside with James. Lily closed the door behind her. James quickly locked it again. Lily was leaning against the door and James was inches from her. Lily looked into his sensuous hazel eyes. James leaned in and kissed her. Lily didn't pull away this time. She kissed him back. When they both stopped they stood there and looked at each other.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you." James said. Lily didn't say anything. They were silent for a few minutes. Lily was the first to break the silence.
"I think it's clear." She said unlocking the door and looking out. Lily walked out of the room James followed her. They walked back to the common room; they went inside to see that it was totally empty.
"Well, I umm better go to bed. Gotta' get up early in the morning." Lily said. Their eyes locked for one more moment then Lily looked away and went upstairs to her dorm. James watched her leave then left for his dorm. The next morning Lily and her friends went down early to breakfast. The Marauders were already there. Lily smiled at James then sat down. Lily piled her plate then looked up as four Slytherin boys walked in. The entire room went quiet. Snape, Nott, Crabbe and Goyle walked in with shocking pink hair that was sticking up. The Marauders all busted out laughing, as did the rest of the school.
"Who did that to them?" Sirius asked grinning. James shrugged and looked down at Lily who was grinning. "Whoever it was I must thank them." Sirius said. That was Lily's favorite prank so far. The worst thing about it however had to of been touching Snape's greasy hair to put a non-removal pink dye in it.
Before Lily knew it James was leading her out from the back of the Three Broomsticks. Lily looked around her.
"Why don't you go find a table, and I'll get the drinks." James smiled at her then walked to the bar. Lily went and found a table.
"Two butterbeers please, Rosie." James smiled at the waitress behind the bar.
"Anything for my best customer. Where's the rest of them tonight?" Rosie asked.
"Back at the castle." James said.
"Are you here alone?" Rosie asked. James shook his head. "Well where is she then?" Rosie asked standing on her tiptoes.
"Don't be so nosey." James teased. Rosie's eyes then fell on someone: the pretty red head that was sitting in the corner.
"You and... James Potter and Lily Evans. I never would have thought, wait till I tell-" Rosie began.
"You can't tell anyone. It's a secret." James said cutting her off.
"Ah yes because if I remember Lily and Jordan are still dating." Rosie smiled. James looked at her. "My sister is in her sixth year in Ravenclaw." Rosie said putting the butterbeers on the counter. "That would be three galleons, four sickles please." She said. James took a wallet out of his back pocket of his jeans. He handed her some coins then walked over to the table with the butterbeers.
"What was Rosie saying?" Lily asked before taking a sip of her butterbeer.
"Just musing over whom I was with. She'll not say nothin'." James said. Lily smiled at him.
"What have Sirius and Remus been saying about your disappearing acts?" Lily asked with a smile.
"Well they want to know who my mystery woman is." James smiled. Lily giggled.
"I thought today was fun; all that sneaking around. Puts the excitement in it." Lily grinned.
"I'm a bit angry with myself. I was to busy thinking about you all day that I didn't get a detention." James pouted.
"Aww poor baby. But which would you rather have a detention with your friends were you are cleaning up pus from the green houses or sitting here with me." Lily grinned.
"Well suppose when you put it like that cleaning up pus does sound like fun-" Lily glared at him. "--I'm joking. I love being here with you." James smiled then leaned over and kissed her. Two hours later Lily and James were standing at the entrance of the tunnel they had taken. On the other side of the portrait was the school corridor. Lily didn't want to leave yet. She was leaning against the tunnel wall kissing James. She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
"I had fun tonight; in fact I had fun all day. Thank you." Lily smiled.
"The pleasure is all mine." James said kissing her lips and then moving down round her neck. Lily giggled. James' hands roamed up and down Lily's back. James then slowly made his way up to her mouth. James kissed her passionately, wishing that this would never end.
Lily was the first to leave the tunnel. She walked back to her common room and walked inside. To her surprise Sirius, Remus, Peter, Laura and Joey were sitting there. She smiled at them and sat down beside them.
"What is everybody doing up so late. It's gone past midnight." Lily frowned.
"We are just back from our detention and we are waiting for James to get back. He isn't upstairs we thought he must be with some girl." Remus shrugged. Lily smiled to herself.
"Where were you?" Sirius asked curiously.
"With Jordan, why?" Lily asked.
"Oh. For a moment there I thought you were his mystery woman." Everybody laughed at this.
"Yeah Sirius. I am I have been keeping it a secret all this time." Lily smiled. What they don't know? Lily thought to herself.
"You didn't see James over in the Hufflepuff common room did you?" Remus asked curiously.
"I wasn't in the common room sorry Remus." Lily said yawning.
"Seems as though Jordie wore you out." Sirius smiled. Lily glared at him.
"Lily what's that on you neck?" Laura asked lifting her hair out of the way. Lily touched her neck. "Lily, that's a love bite." Laura smiled.
"Lily's got a hicky." Sirius said in a singsong voice. Lily rolled her eyes. The common room door opened and James walked in.
"Where were you?" Remus asked him as he made his way towards the group.
"Getting a bloody detention." James said pissed off.
"Why?" Joey asked.
"Professor De Lacy said I wasn't allowed out this late at night. I told him I was head boy, I'm allowed out this late at night and he said I was being smart so he gave me a detention for tomorrow night." James said.
"That's what you get for messing about with some chick and not telling your friends." Sirius smiled.
"Don't call her a chick. She's a person not a bird." Joey smiled. Sirius grinned evilly then jumped on her and started tickling her. Everybody started laughing. Sirius then jumped off Joey when he saw a figure come down from the girls' dorm. It was Michelle.
"Hey Michelle you're up late." Lily smiled at her friend.
"Couldn't sleep." Michelle said. She gave Sirius a look that nobody else noticed except for Sirius. Michelle sat down beside Lily. "Have fun with Jordan?" She asked.
"Loads." Lily smiled looking at James. "I think it is time everyone got to bed." Lily said looking at the grandfather clock beside the fireplace. Everybody moaned except for James.
"Yup everybody to bed." James agreed. Everybody stopped and looked at James.
"What the hell happened to you? Why do you all of a sudden want to go to bed early?" Sirius asked astonished.
"Well do you want me tell you about this mystery woman of mine or not?" James smiled. Sirius, Remus and Peter quickly jumped of the couches said there goodbyes to the girl and ran up to their dorm. James stood there with the girls and shook his head in amusement at his friends. He then turned back to the girls. "Like I'd tell them anything." James said nodding his heads towards the boys' dorm. He smiled his 'breath taking' smile at the girls then his eyes fell on Lily. The smile changed as did his eyes it was a lot more sincere and romantic. He then walked up to his dorm. Lily then stood up.
"Come on Michelle, I'll put a sleeping spell on you." Lily said dragging Michelle up the stairs. Once up there and putting a spell on Michelle, Lily lay down on her bed. Lily stared at the canopy. She had enchanted it to make it look as if there were stars on it. Lily thought about the day she just had. The sneaking off with James, The trip to Hogsmeade, it was all so exciting yet Lily knew there was something more to it all than the excitement; there was something that ran deeper. Lily didn't know what it was though she knew it was a feeling she had never felt before. Lily drifted off to sleep.

Now wasn't that fun? Did I ask for your opinion? Didn't think so! But you can put it in the review if you like!
Thank you
