Chapter 22

A while later after a very bumpy ride through Wales, Scotland and England, the bus pulled to a stop outside a very fancy hotel. It was situated in a part of the magical London that Lily had been to once with Claudia. She had stayed at this hotel with Claudia for an evening when they were going into their third year. Earl took her trunk into the foyer of the hotel.

"I'll be seein ya, Miss." He said before leaving.

"Thank you." Lily called after him. She walked up to the receptionist. "I would like a single room for a few days." Lily said to the receptionist.

"Do you have a booking?" The receptionist asked. She was a slender blonde with blue eyes and a very squeaky irritating voice.

"No." Lily replied gritting her teeth.

"Well I'm afraid there are no rooms left." The blonde said as she popped her chewing gum. Lily's jaw clenched. She wasn't in the mood for this.

Meanwhile on the other side of the foyer a group of guys sat around on the lobby couches. Among them was James; he was on the Quidditch fitness program. The rest were there trying out for the team as James was or already on the team.

"That receptionist is hot. Thank I got a chance?" A guy with golden brown hair and brown eyes asked, grinning madly. He was the chaser on the English Quidditch team and also the captain.

"Nah. I think she's took a shine to Jamie here." Another guy with blonde hair and sparkling green eyes said ruffling James's hair.

"Nah. I got my girl." James smiled.

"Whatever." The chaser guy said rolling his eyes. "Oh that red head is looking nice. I want a taste of that." The guy said grinning. Everyone laughed and looked at the girl standing beside the reception. James looked too; there was something oddly familiar about her. James then knew who she was.

"Lily?" James said though only the guys around him heard.

"You know her?" A guy with black hair and crooked nose asked. James didn't answer; he stood up and walked towards Lily.

"Look, I'm sorry there isn't any rooms left. Especially ones that you could afford." The blonde said cocking her head. Lily was getting furious.

"Hey Lil?" A voice said behind her. Lily spun round to see James standing there.

"James what're you doing here?" Lily asked shocked.

"I'm on the Quidditch program." James smiled. "What're you doing here?" He asked curiously.

"Oh I'm … here to meet with that guy Merlin." Lily said quickly. "But I can't seem to get a room." Lily said.

"Vanessa are there no rooms left?" James asked giving her his million-dollar smile. The blonde smiled at him then checked a book.

"Oh look there is one." Vanessa said smiling weakly.

"You couldn't have done that before?" Lily said under her breath. James heard her however and smiled.

"You'll need to sign some papers." Vanessa said setting some parchment on the desk. Lily signed some stuff then paid for the first night in advance. "You're room number is 143. John the bellboy can take your things up." Vanessa said, Lily smiled then rolled her eyes as she turned around. She looked at James who was standing beside her with his hands in his pockets. Lily smiled her first true smile of that evening.

"I'm glad you're here." Lily said. James knew something was wrong.

"I'll take you up to your room." James said, he put his arm around her shoulder and Lily let out a sigh of relief. As Lily and James walked out of the foyer followed by the bellboy, catcalls came from the group of guys James was just with. James grinned and shook his head.

"Don't mind them." James whispered.

"I take it that is the English Quidditch team." Lily said as she peered back to look at them. A cute brown hair guy winked at her. James nodded.

"They're good guys. I'll introduce you to them later; let's get you settled in first." James smiled down at her.

"Thank you." Lily smiled weakly. James squeezed her arm and smiled. They finally got to the room and the bellboy let them in. He set the trunk and the owl cage beside the closet door and stood waiting. Lily finally realised that he was waiting for tip and handed him some coins, he then left. Lily closed the door behind him. She looked round the room and sighed. It was very big and fancy. There was a large queen size bed with lavender coloured sheets. There was also a balcony that looked over the grounds of the hotel. In the bathroom there was a large bathtub and a shower. Lily plopped herself down on the bed and lay back. James watched her.

"Are you okay?" He asked her curiously.

"I'm fine; I'm just a bit tired." Lily said.

"I'll leave then." James said walking towards the door. Lily sat up.

"Don't! I mean umm I don't want to be umm alone tonight. W-Will you stay with me?" Lily asked timidly. James smiled.

"Sure. I'll just go down and tell the guys that I won't be heading out with them now." James said.

"Oh, you were heading out. I don't want to impose, go out if you want to." Lily said quickly.

"It's okay Lil. I really didn't want to go out anyway, now I've got an excuse." James smiled. "I'll not be long." James said before leaving the room. Lily watched as the door closed then sighed. She then stood up and walked over and sat down at a desk that was situated beside the closet. There was hotel stationary paper and pen on the desk. She started to write a letter to Remus:

Dear Remus

It seems things aren't going as good as I thought between my parents. They have filed for divorce. They told me this evening. I didn't know it was that bad between the two of them. The worst thing they did though was asking me to choose whom I wanted to live with. How could they do such a thing? I did the first thing that came into my mind and left. I had to; I couldn't stay under the same roof as them. I'm staying at The Willow Hotel. It's really nice. I suppose I'll stay here until I go to Michelle's' in a few days. Please don't tell anyone about this. Not even Claudia.

Love Lily

Lily re read the letter and decided she was happy with it. She then put it aside and started to write a letter to he parents.

Mum, Dad

I'm okay. I just needed to clear my head. I don't think I'll be coming back for the rest of the holidays. I don't think I could. I'm staying at a wizard hotel.

Love Lily

Lily then sent the two letters of with Lulu. Lily sighed as she watched Lulu sore out into the night sky.

Meanwhile downstairs James walked up the group of guys.

"Wow, James you were fast." The chaser guy said his name was Andy.

"I can't come with you guys tonight." James said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ohhhh. Get stuck in there." Billy Webber, one of the other guys trying out said. James rolled his eyes.

"No it isn't like that." James said.

"We know, We know. You have a girl." Charlie Mahoney, the Quidditch keeper, said. James smiled.

"That's her." James said. The guys' faces dropped.

"You got a chick like that?" Andy said astonished.

"Kind of. It's a long story. Anyway tell Stephen that-" James began but was cut off.

"Tell me what?" Stephen asked coming up behind him.

"I'm not going out with you guys tonight. I'm so tired; I need an early night." James said. The boys behind James started to chuckle.

"Some early night you're gonna get." Charlie said laughing.

"That's good initiative James." Stephen whispered. "Are the rest of you knuckle brains ready?" Stephen asked. All the guys stood up and nodded.

"See you later James, and don't be keeping the neighbours up to long." Andy winked as they left. James watched them go then headed back up to Lily's room. He knocked on her door lightly. Lily opened it with a relieved smile on her face. She let him in.

"Lily, are you sure you're okay?" James asked as he sat down on one of the chairs at the desk. Lily sat on the bed and hung her head. A tear slid down her face. James seen this and kneeled down in front of her.

"Baby, what's wrong?" James asked tilting her head up towards him.

"I kinda had a fight with my parents." Lily whispered but James heard.

"Oh baby, I'm so sorry." James said hugging her. Lily hugged him back, crying into his shirt.

"I couldn't stay with them." Lily sobbed.

"It's okay Lil. Everything will be okay." James said pulling away from her. "Why don't you take a bath, it might relax you." James said. Lily nodded and stood up James copied her actions. Lily looked at him and smiled weakly.

"Thank you for being here for me." Lily said.

"I'm always here." James said reassuringly. Lily then took some clothes out of her trunk and walked into the bathroom. James sat down on the bed and leaned against the headboard, closing his eyes. A while later when Lily came out, she saw that James was asleep. Lily smiled and set her clothes down on top of her trunk. She was wearing a pair of mint green short shorts and a mint green strap top. Lily sighed and lay down beside James. She put her head on his chest. James wrapped his arms around her - even though he was asleep - and held her close. Lily smiled. She thought about everything that happened that day. She then realised that she had blown up a very expensive crystal vase, but the fact that it was expensive didn't cross her mind, the thing that did though was that she did it without her wand. The trunk and owl cage also had floated beside her when she left the house; she hadn't used her wand for that either. What was happening? Could she move things with her mind? With this thought she fell asleep.

The next morning James woke up and smiled. He looked at the red head in his arms. He kissed her lightly on her head. He removed her from his arms and sat up, he looked at the alarm clock. He had ten minutes before Stephen came round on his 'wake up call'. James quickly penned Lily a note saying that he would see her later. He then left the room and headed down the hall towards his own room. He took the little card out of his pocket and swiped it through. The door opened and James walked in. This room was a lot bigger than Lily's. There was a sitting area with three doors, one door led to a bathroom and the other doors led to two bedrooms. James was sharing this room with Andy. James chuckled to himself as he seen a pair of women's shoes beside Andy's bedroom door. He walked into his bedroom to get some things then walked out and towards the bathroom. Just then Andy's bedroom door opened. In the doorway Andy stood with a sheet wrapped around his waist, and was kissing a girl with short blonde hair that was tied up in a ponytail. She pulled away from Andy with a smile on her face and turned to leave. But she saw James standing there and stopped. The girl and Andy stood there with their eyes wide and James grinned.

"James!" The girl said. The girl was one of the fitness trainers for the team. Her name was Dawn Winters.

"I didn't see anything. I never saw you here. I don't know anything." James said waving his hands then walking into the bathroom. A few minutes later when James came out again Andy was sitting on the one of sofas. James walked towards his bedroom when Andy stooped him.

"James, wait." Andy said. James stopped and turned round and looked at him. "What you saw with Dawn and me...well you can't tell anyone." Andy said taking a sip from the mug he had in his hand.

"It has nothing to do with me." James said.

"Good. But seriously you can't, not even that red head of yours-" Andy said.

"-Lily." James interjected.

"-Yeah her. Dawn could lose her job." Andy said.

"Why?" James said.

"Steve wouldn't be happy about us." Andy said seriously.

"Oh." James said. There was a knock on the door and Stephen walked in.

"Rise and-!" Stephen began to shout but saw that the boys were up. "Ahh you boys are up. Good." Stephen smiled.

"Yeah, James' red head kept him all night." Andy said losing all the seriousness in his voice. James rolled his eyes. "Was she a feisty one?" Andy asked. James walked into his room and set his stuff in. He then walked back into the other room.

"So James have a nice sleep?" Stephen asked with a grin. James nodded.

"Slept like a baby." James smiled.

"You didn't sleep here, that's for sure." Andy chuckled.

"How did you know I didn't stay here?" James asked curiously.

"When we got back last night we were gonna give you a little wake-up call." Andy replied chuckling. James rolled his eyes.

"You boys hit the Gym now, since you are ready. I'll get the rest of these idiots up." Stephen said walking out of the room. Andy and James walked down into the hotel gym that was reserved for the Quidditch team. The fitness trainers were already down their, Dawn also. Andy smiled at Dawn who smiled back. James rolled his eyes and started to work out. Later in the morning James was assigned to the punch bag. He didn't feel in the mood to punch it. Stephen came up behind him.

"James what's wrong?" Stephen asked.

"I don't feel motivated to hit this thing." James shrugged. "I need to be angry." He said.

"Okay I'll make you angry. You're not getting the seeker position." Stephen said folding his arms.

"That wouldn't make me angry because if I didn't get it, someone who truly deserved it would." James said.

"You're a tough one." Stephen said biting the inside of his lip. An idea then came to mind. "What's the name of your best friend?" Stephen asked.

"Sirius." James replied.

"Okay, the red head-" Stephen began.

"-Lily." James interrupted.

"Lily tells you that she has fallen madly in love with Sirius, and thinks that he is better than you." Stephen said. James looked at Stephen then started laughing.

"That would never happen." James laughed. Stephen threw his hands up in the air and sighed.

"I give up. Can nothing make you angry?" Stephen asked. James just kept laughing. Dawn walked over.

"What's the problem?" Dawn asked looking curiously at James.

"He can't hit the punch bag if he isn't angry so I'm trying to get him angry. But nothing seems to make him angry." Stephen said. "I've tried everything even saying that Lily, the red head dumped him for his best friend." Stephen said exasperated. James laughed even harder.

"It's just too funny." James said containing his laughter. Dawn rolled her eyes. She then whispered something into James ear, and James's facial expression completely changed. He started punching the bag furiously. Dawn smiled.

"Never let a man do a woman's job." Dawn said. Stephen pulled her to one side and Andy followed.

"What'd you to say to him?" Stephen asked curiously watching James hit the punch bag.

"I just told him to think of the last time that he was angry and imagine it ten times worse." Dawn said.

"That boy is angry." Andy said.

"He's a good kid." Dawn said. "Knows when to work hard and also is excellent on the pitch." Dawn added.

"He also isn't easily mad, which is a good thing when you're in the middle of a match." Andy said.

"So you guys back me with wanting James on the team?" Stephen asked. Dawn and Andy nodded. "Good, we still need to get Pat (The coach!) on our side and we'll be flying, literally." Stephen smiled. Dawn and Andy rolled their eyes.

Later that day Lily just got back from a walk around the magical part of London. She sat down on one of the lobby sofas and started to look through a magical magazine. Suddenly someone sat down across from her.

"Long time no see." A calm voice said beside her. Lily looked up to see a girl with long black hair and brown skin; she had pretty brown oval eyes.

"Maria?" Lily asked. "How are you?" Lily asked smiling. Maria was Spanish. She used to be head girl at Hogwarts, but had left school when Lily was in her fifth year.

"I'm fine how are you?" Maria asked smiling.

"I'm okay, what're you doing here?" Lily asked curiously.

"Oh, my fiancé is here. He's training or something." Maria said waving her hand.

"Your fiancé? What's his name?" Lily asked curiously.

"Michael Cannon." Maria replied.

"As in Michael Cannon who is the keeper for the English team?" Lily asked her eyes widening. Maria smiled and blushed.

"When did you meet him?" Lily asked setting the magazine on the coffee table.

"When I got off the Hogwarts express two years ago." Maria laughed. "We've been dating since and last month he proposed." Maria said. She showed Lily the ring. It was an 18-carat gold band ring with three diamonds set in the middle of it.

"It's beautiful." Lily smiled. "What is the deal with everyone getting engaged?" Lily laughed.

"Why who else got engaged?" Maria asked curiously.

"You know Kent Hamilton and Sophie Clarke? Well they got engaged a couple of weeks ago." Lily smiled. Maria smiled.

"Since when have they been dating?" Maria asked in shock.

"Welcome back ball of sixth year." Lily said. Maria was just about to say something when James sat down beside Lily and put his head down on Lily's lap.

"Lily, they're trying to kill me." James whined.

"Good afternoon to you too." Lily smiled down at him.

"Oh yeah, hello." James smiled. They both looked into each other's eyes. Maria coughed. James looked at her. "Oh hey Maria. Long time no see." James smiled, not moving from his position.

"Indeed." Maria said looking from Lily to James.

"What time did you leave at this morning?" Lily asked.

"About half past seven. I had to get back before Andy woke up and noticed I wasn't there." James said rubbing his face.

"Did he catch you?" Lily asked taking his hands away from his face. Their hands locked and Maria watched them curiously.

"More like I caught him." James laughed. "But he knew I hadn't been there, so it didn't really matter." James said.

"Who did you catch Andy with?" Maria asked curiously.

"Just some blonde." James said. Just then Andy and Stephen came up with two boys. One of them was tall and well built. He had dark brown hair and a very good tan. He bent down and kissed Maria on the cheek, this was obviously Michael. The other boy was a few inches smaller than James and had blonde hair with green eyes.

"Potter you got an hour before you got to be back in the gym." Stephen said. James groaned.

"This must be Miss Red Head, you haven't shut up about." Andy said sticking out his hand. Lily looked at him and shook it. She was about to say something, but Andy interrupted her. "It's nice to meet you finally, Lily." Andy smiled.

"And you." Lily smiled. James sat up.

"Lily this is Stephen, Patrick, and Michael, seeing that you just met Andy." James said introducing everyone. "Everyone this is Lily." James said. Everyone said his or her hellos.

"Crap." Stephen said. He had just seen a very unwelcome guest talking to the receptionist. James saw the person.

"I got to go. I'll see you guys later." James said before kissing Lily on the cheek and running off.

"What' wrong?" Lily asked curiously looking round at the group.

"That's Anita Skeeter. A journalist for the Daily Prophet." Michael said.

"Why'd James run off?" Lily asked curiously.

"No one knows he is doing this program." Stephen said looking back at Lily.

"You mean he still hasn't told his parents? I'll get him for this." Lily said shaking her head.

"We better get out of here. See everyone later." Stephen said hustling all the boys out of the lobby. Just then Anita Skeeter walked over to Lily and Maria. She had red curly hair and a very pale face. Her dress robes were a pale pink and she wore glasses with jewels on them.

"You girls haven't seen some very handsome Quidditch players?" Anita asked looking around her. Maria was about to say something but Lily interrupted her.

"Yeah actually." Lily said perkily. Maria stared at her warningly. "I saw them at The Branmoth Inn. They're so cute; you should see them working out." Lily said, in an airy way.

"Thank you very much." Anita said excitedly than walked out of the hotel.

"Wow, nice one Lily. She would've been hanging around here all day." Maria said impressed. Lily shrugged.

"Well I don't intend to be locked up in a room all day with James." Lily said.

"Speaking off, since when did you and him get together?" Maria asked curiously. Lily blushed.

"We're actually not together as such." Lily said.

"Oh don't tell me you're another one of his little flings?" Maria said disappointedly.

"I'm not that either." Lily said.

"Then what are you guys?" Maria asked curiously.

"Let's go get some coffee. It's a long story." Lily said standing up Maria followed her. They sat in the hotel restaurant and talked. Lily told her everything about her and James. Maria was in awe of it all.

"That is so sweet." Maria said. Lily blushed and looked into her coffee.

"Yeah I know. He was always so good to me and I go and break his heart." Lily said.

"If you guys love each other as much as you say, it'll work out." Maria said. "You just have to give it time."

"Umm actually, I know this is really stupid but umm I want him back." Lily said looking at Maria.

"Well that's great." Maria said excitedly.

"But what if he doesn't want to get back with me?" Lily said.

"Of course he wants you, Lily. You just have to see the way he looks at you. I mean I was only with you guys for a few minutes but it's obvious he is madly in love with you." Maria smiled. Lily shrugged. It felt strange admitting these feelings for the first time. They had been in her mind for the past few weeks. It felt good that she had finally admitted them. She just hoped that James wanted back with her. She would understand if he didn't though. Later that evening Lily was sitting in her room reading over the letter that Remus had just sent her.

Dear Lily

I'm so sorry to hear about you parents. I wish I could be there for you. I do think though that you should discuss this with your parents instead of running away from them, but that is just my opinion. Everything will be okay, don't worry it'll work itself out in the end. Look after yourself.

Love Remus

Lily sighed, she knew he was right but she couldn't face her parents right now. She just needed to give it time. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Lily jumped of the seat and opened the door. James was standing there. Lily smiled and let him. She closed the door behind him.

"Do you wanna get something to eat?" James asked her. Lily shook her head.

"I had something to eat." Lily said sitting down on the bed.

"That's okay, cause so did I." James smiled.

"So you were gonna get something to eat just for me? That's sweet ... actually strike that, this is you we're talking about. Only one person can eat more than you can and it is Sirius." Lily laughed.

"Hey! I resent that...I can eat way more than Sirius." James said mockingly. Lily laughed again. James smiled at her. There was an awkward silence.

"I'm glad you're here, Lil." James said. Lily looked at the ground, a small smile playing on her face.

"We haven't had a chance to talk since I got here. Do you wanna go down stairs and get a drink or something and I don't know, talk?" Lily asked shyly, fiddling with her hands. James grinned at Lily feeling awkward.

"Sure. I just gotta go to my room and get something. Let's go." James smiled. Lily stood up and grabbed her purse and walked out of the room with James. Whilst they were walking, there hands touched ever so slightly James then took a hold of her hand and laced his fingers with hers. Lily looked up into his eyes and smiled. James smiled warmly down at her and squeezed her hand. When they finally got to his room, James opened the door to see most of the Quidditch team inside and some of the fitness trainers.

"What's everyone doing here?" James asked leading Lily into the room and closing the door behind her.

"We're waiting on Andy. We're all heading down to the bar downstairs you guys up for it?" Dawn asked. James looked at Lily, who shrugged.

"Sure. I just gotta get changed." James said. He then led Lily into one of the side bedrooms. All the guys started to hoot and whistle at James doing this. James rolled his eyes as Lily blushed. James closed the bedroom door behind Lily.

"James, those guys are gonna think we're up to something." Lily said smiling.

"So..." James said grinning; he then kissed her sweetly on the lips. Lily smiled as he pulled away. "I have been waiting to kiss you since you got here." James said. Lily pushed him away playfully.

"Hurry up and get changed." Lily said as she sat down on his bed. James looked at her for another second then walked over to his trunk and pulled out a shirt. He then pulled of the shirt he was wearing. Lily blushed as she seen James washboard stomach.

"I find this very unfair." James said. Lily looked at him; he still had his shirt off.

"You find what unfair?" Lily asked.

"That you get to see me half-naked but I still don't get to see you half-naked." James said a smile on his face. Lily rolled her eyes.

"That's not a very good pick-up line." Lily said her arms crossed. She was now standing a few feet away from James.

"I know I got it from Sirius." James laughed rubbing his neck. "But it usually works." James said.

"Well I'm harder to get than your average female. Thought you knew that." Lily said flirtatiously. James took a step towards her.

"I know that, all right. And you ain't no average female either." James said.

"Then what am I?" Lily asked taking a step towards him. They were only a few inches apart.

"No words can describe you, Lil. They wouldn't flatter you as much as they should." James said. Lily smiled then took a step back.

"You're still not getting any." Lily grinned.

"That was my best one." James said throwing his hands up in the air. Lily giggled.

"I'm hard to get." Lily said. She then took a step towards him again and put a hand on his cheek. She looked deeply into his eyes then kissed him passionately. James hands roamed up and down Lily's back as Lily wrapped her arms round his neck. Just then the door opened and Andy walked in. Lily and James jumped apart. James glared at Andy who had a smug smile on his face.

"Did you ever hear of knocking?" James asked.

"I have and I did knock." Andy said. He then walked back out of the room; the door was left open. "Right who owes me what? They were making out." James and Lily heard Andy said. Lily's face turned bright pink. James laughed. He pulled on his shirt and took a hold of Lily's hand and led her out of the room.

"We ready to go?" James asked a small smile on his face. Everyone nodded and they made their way down to the hotel bar. It was more of a club than a bar. Tonight it was packed to the walls with people. They found a huge table that they all sat at. Andy stood up.

"What's everyone drinking?" He asked. Everyone started shouting out what they wanted when James turned to Lily.

"What do you want to drink?" He asked her.

"I'll just have a coke. I'm kinda not in the mood to drink anything else." Lily said.

"Good, cause I don't want you singing 'I will survive'." James laughed.

"And why?" Lily asked a small smile on her face.

"Cause its such a man bashing song." James smiled.

"It is not. It is clearly stating that a woman doesn't need a man and-" Lily was cut off by James kissing her. Lily kissed him back.

"Hey Lovebirds, what you drinking?" Andy called over the music. James pulled away. He smiled at Lily then turned to Andy.

"A coke and a beer." James said. Andy nodded his head. Lily then turned James' head towards her.

"Why'd you kiss me?" Lily asked.

"Cause you talk too much." James laughed. Lily looked at him, her eyebrows furrowed.

"You're weird." Lily commented.

"I love you so I must be." James whispered into her ear. He then smirked at her. Lily slapped him playfully in the arm. James laughed. A waiter then set their drinks down beside them. They muttered their 'thank you' as the waiter served the rest of the drinks. Lily took a sip of her drink then turned to James.

"So what do your parents think of this program? I'm sure they're proud." Lily said with an innocent smile. "Oh wait hold on they don't know." Lily said as if it had slipped her mind. James bit his lip.

"I was gonna tell them but it kinda slipped my mind..." James trailed off. Lily rolled her eyes.

"I'm sure it did." Lily said. "You have to tell them, you know that right?" Lily said putting a hand on his. He looked at her and smiled.

"I will tell them, I'm just a little worried about what they'll say. You're lucky; your parents approve of what you're doing. They're aren't making you do something you don't want to do." James said. Lily's throat tightened and she looked away.

"What you don't know." Lily said under her breath.

"What?" James asked.

"Oh nothing. Let's dance." Lily forced a smile and grabbed James' hand and led him onto the dance floor. Lily smiled as one of her favourite songs came on. It was called 'Round Round' by the Sugababes.

Lily and James swayed to the music. James had one arm around Lily's waist, they both were laughing and smiling about something. Anyone who didn't know their history would think that they were the perfect couple. Lily looked into James' eyes and smiled. James couldn't help himself; he leaned in and kissed her. It was soft at first then he edged his tongue into her mouth and deepened the kiss. This was the kind of kiss that always made Lily want more from him. He had a way of making her feel wanted and in deed wanting more from him. James then pulled away from her. Lily opened her eyes and smiled up at him. James smiled back.

"James can we go somewhere and talk?" Lily asked. This is it. I'm gonna tell him, I want us to be together again. After that kiss I know he wants to be with me. Lily thought.

Crap! She doesn't want to do this any more. I had to go and kiss her. I'm an idiot. I just couldn't help kissing her. James thought.

"Ummm ... yeah, yeah sure." James stuttered. Lily smiled.

"I just need to go powder my nose first." Lily smiled. Then walked towards the ladies room. James put his thumbs in his back pocket and chewed his lip as he watched her go. He then walked back to the table that everyone was sitting at. Most of the guys started cheering as James came towards them. He didn't say anything; he was lost in thought. He downed the rest of his beer.

"James, get stuck in there!" Andy shouted standing beside him and clasping his shoulder. James rubbed his face.

"What's wrong? Trouble in Paradise?" Michael asked. He had his arm around Maria and was taking a swig of his beer.

"You could say that." James sighed.

"What's wrong? She dump ya?" Andy laughed.

"We weren't dating in the first place. We used to but we're just friends now. And she is just about tell me she wants to end it." James said gravely. Maria covered her mouth with her hand. She knew that Lily was gonna do the complete opposite. James looked up as Lily came towards him. She was just about to say something to him when the music and the lights cut out. There were shouts of protest from everyone when an eerie green glow filled the room. James could then see cloaked figures around the whole room. He knew who they were and so did everyone else. All the guys stood up in defence. Suddenly mayhem broke out as hexes were shouted. James and Lily weren't allowed to use magic, but they both broke this rule and pulled out their wands. They began to fight. Fires had begun to burn the interior of the building. The cloaked figures began to retreat and suddenly there were no more. People began to panic because it looked as if the building was about to collapse. Everyone then began to flock to the doors, forgetting all about the use of disapparation. James looked round him to see were Lily was. But she was no were in sight.

"Lily!" James called through the fire and smoke.

"James!" Lily called back. James could see Lily behind a wall of fire.

"Lily!" James called as he ran towards her. There was no way out, Lily was trapped. Lily started clutch her chest, the smoke was getting to her. Lily fell to the ground and tried to breathe. She was slowly losing consciousness. The last thing she seen was James's face through the fire before everything went black. James hurriedly said a curse that shot water out of his wand. The flames departed enough to let James get to Lily. He quickly ran to her and scooped her up in his arms. He then ran out of the building as it began to collapse.

Yo, it ends here? I want more! I think I might stick around for the next tour and I hear that kicks off after everyone reviews so go review. I wanna know if this chick dies!
