Hey guys! I know, it's been a long time, but I'm working on several chapters now! I hope you enjoy this one! And oh yeah, reviews are like cookies! Lovely, sweet and very much appreciated! =)
I swallowed James' gasp of surprise with my mouth and ran my hands through his raven hair. His hands were wandering along my back, holding my waist. He pulled me flush against him and kissed me harder. He picked me up and carried me to bed. There, he threw away the adorable little teddy bear and lay me down comfortably. My hands were discovering new pieces of skin, areas I had never felt before. The blouse I was wearing, was quickly forgotten, and my skirt quickly unzipped. His hands cupped my curves and his lips ravished my neck.
"I love you," I said, before thinking about it. He stopped kissing my neck and pulled back a bit. "What… What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that… I have the feeling you said that before, though I can't remember when," he explained, tracing his fingers along my face.
"Right. Look, James… You remember when you fainted and you ended up in the Hospital Wing?"
"Yeah, why?" His gaze was filled with questions.
"You fainted because… because I said I loved you," I confessed, looking at his shoulder.
Against all my expectations, he started laughing. "I'm such a moron," he said. "I fainted because the girl I love said she loved me? I'm a complete dolt!"
"Don't I know it," I grinned. And then it struck me. "You… You love me?"
"Well, yes, I thought that was a given. I mean, I've chased you for over six years, every time I see you, I want to snog you senseless and I can't keep my hands of off you," he said, shrugging. The bed suddenly seemed smaller, and the need to touch him bigger. So I did, and James shivered lightly.
"Okay. Right. So… I guess this is quite serious, huh?" I asked.
"I never felt so serious in my life. I love you, Lily, and there's nothing or no one that can change that. I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you."
"Are you going to keep babbling or are you going to shut up so I can say that I love you too?" I winked, grinning widely at his red cheeks.
"I'm going to shut up."
"Great. I love you too, James. I love you very much."
When he leaned down to kiss me again, our door was opened with a bang by none other than Marlene McKinnon, Alice Pettigrew and Frank Longbottom.
"Now you know she loves you, Potter, maybe we could get some food. I'm starving," Marlene said, grinning widely.
After lunch, Remus, James and Frank went to the stable to get their brooms and Alice, Marlene and I were left alone.
"You finally told James you love him?" Alice asked. We were sitting on a bench in the garden, watching the boys as James tackled Frank into the lake. Sirius laughed at his friends, until he landed in the lake, too.
I picked a red rose from the ground, brought it to my nose and enjoyed the smell. "It just… happened. He looked very pleased, and he said it back, so…"
"Who the hell is that?" Marlene suddenly gasped. She stared at a specific place in the garden, and when I looked better I saw what she meant. In the corner, in the middle of a perk enchanted petunias stood a handsome, strange young man. He had taken his shirt of, showing his six-pack to the world. Luckily for us, he seemed to be a wizard, because of the wand in his hand.
"I've never seen him on Hogwarts," Alice said, her mouth a little open. She looked like she was ready to faint.
"You're drooling," Marlene laughed. "Plus, you already have a boyfriend. I'd say he's mine."
Alice and I laughed at that. When we achieved to control ourselves, the guy was gone.
"Where did he go?" Marlene pouted.
"Where did who go?" Frank asked from behind us. He had two brooms in his hand –one for Alice and one for him. He also hold a towel, probably to dry his hair.
"That handsome – "Marlene started, but I clapped my hand over her mouth.
"No one, just a handsome young bird, that – oh, gross, Marlene, that's disgusting," I said, rubbing my hand on her jeans to clean it from her slobber.
"You're on my hit-list, Evans," she threatened, pushing me off the bench.
"You have a hit-list, McKinnon?" a soaked Sirius asked. "Can I be on it too? I think I deserved some spanking."
"Ugh, Padfoot, shut up! That's unwanted information!" Remus said, his hands covering his ears while he Levitated his broom in front of him.
"Remus! Stop using magic!" I said, shocked. "The Ministery –"
"Will do nothing, because we're here with two grown up wizards," James said, appearing behind me and dropping a kiss on my neck. "They can't make out who's using magic."
"How nice of you to tell me that immediately," I said sarcastically.
"Aw, Evans, don't get mad, I need you for things," James replied.
"Again with the unwanted information!" Remus groaned.
Laughing, I accepted the broom James was giving me and I put it against the tree behind me.
"Evans, we're going to play Quidditch. You'll need a broom," Sirius said, giving the broom back to me.
"Ha! I'm not playing. Scared of heights, you see," I explained, seeing Alice and Marlene nodded. They probably remembered my accident, last summer. Long story straight, I fell of my broom in the middle of Alice's neighbor's charmed tarantula-cage. It was a soft landing, but kind off ticklish, too. Since then, no more heights or spiders for me.
"Come on, one little game? We'll be careful, Red?" Sirius pushed.
"No, thanks," I smiled, turning to take place on the bench.
"If you play one game, Prongsie will kiss you," Sirius tried again.
"You really don't know the definition of the words 'giving up', do you?" I said, getting slightly annoyed.
"If a lady says she doesn't want to fly, you have to show her heaven in another way, Black. Though I thought this lovely girl was property of Potter," an unfamiliar voice behind me said. Immediately after I wondered why James' muscles suddenly tensed, I felt a heavy arm drape around my shoulders. "Isn't that right?" Now the person who said that, stood next to me, I recognized him. It was the mysterious boy we saw in the garden, a couple of minutes ago.
"You're not right. And until you found your manners or know how to treat a lady, I suggest you go back to where you came from and stay there until you do," I snapped, stepping away from the guy. James, Sirius and Marlene laughed out loud, while Alice, Frank and Remus tried to smother their laughter into their fists.
"Where did you get her, Potter? I must say I approve. She's got… spunk," the arrogant jackass said.
"I've got good grades for Charms, too, you know?" I said, my blood boiling in my veins.
"What d'you – " But before he could finish his question, I hit him with a Silencing Spell, so his words were lost.
"Way better. Now go and run to your mummy before I make something else unusable, okay?"
I turned and was surprised by James strong body and his demanding lips. "I love you so much," he whispered.
