Cruel Summer
The first half
an hour in the shopping centre was fairly uneventful as Lily had to generally
help and take care of the four Purebloods that were quickly driving her insane
with their constant whining and goings on. Apparently, dustbins and baby
buggies were the strangest things that they had ever laid eyes on in their
lives, and were seriously contemplating whether to either curse them into
oblivion, or run like Hell. They could tell that the Head Girl was getting
aggravated by their peculiar behaviour, seeing that she kept snapping or
shooting glares at them; glares that promised agony of the utmost kind.
But they
really couldn�t help it. This whole situation was new and weird to them; it was
odd when you saw a thing that looked like a human body, but which didn�t have a
head, and was standing in the shop window, clad with all kinds of strange, Muggle fashion.
Sirius had
decided to stay a fair distance away from Lily after he had voiced his disgust
that dead Muggles shouldn�t be paraded in shop
windows. He was thinking of the morals, he truly was, and he didn�t really know
what he had said wrong until the Head Girl growled out the fact that they
weren�t real.
�How was I
supposed to know?!� he had shot back.
�I don�t
know!� Lily shrieked, flailing her arms in frustration, �With a bit of common
sense!�
Sirius cast
Rachel a sharp glare as she had snorted and mumbled something under her breath.
Ignoring his
look, Rachel looked at her best friend and smiled sweetly, �Don�t
worry about them Lils�can we go into some more shops
now?�
James watched
his girlfriend dubiously; he had decided to walk alongside Sirius and Peter,
knowing full well of Lily�s temper and the fact that he was sure it was going
to burst sometime soon. He definitely didn�t want to be close by when that
happened�or to be the cause of it. Lily pressed her lips together, took a deep
calming breath and nodded silently at Rachel.
�Oooh,� Rachel beamed, pointing to a large shop to the left,
�let�s go into that one!�
Sirius
followed the girls gaze as she started to walk towards �River Island�.
�Hey! I want
to go in some shops too, you know! Not all the stupid girly ones!�
�Look Sirius,�
Lily sighed in exasperation, her anger suddenly having evaporated, �we�ll look
in here, then I�ll take you to Ann Summers, okay? I�m sure you�ll find
something in there that�s more to your liking.�
The Marauder
frowned at the slight smirk of her face, glancing at James and from his
expression, realising he didn�t know what the shop was either.
�It better not
be another clothes shop! We�ve been to 40 million already and it�s only been
half an hour.�
Lily chose to
let the annoying whine slide that time as she smiled and replied, �No, it�s not
a clothes shop�not exactly anyway.�
Sirius paused,
�I don�t trust you, Evans.�
�Oh, I�m so
hurt,� she answered sarcastically as the five of them walked inside, being
dazzled by the overhead lights until they got used to it.
A shop
assistant fixed her beady eye onto them as they entered the shop; apparently
not used to witnessing a shrieking blonde girl rummaging through the stacks of
clothes. Lily flushed slightly in embarrassment, turning to James and telling
him to take Sirius and Peter over to the other side of the shop where the male
section was. Hopefully she could get some control over Rachel without having to
worry about a bored and restless Sirius as well.
�This is such
hard work,� she thought out loud as Rachel pulled different garments from the
rack and babbled to herself.
From the
corner of her eye, Lily noticed the shop assistant becoming more and more
anxious as Rachel seemingly destroyed the display order by putting the clothes
back into the wrong places.
�Rache?� Lily said, nudging
her, �See anything you like?�
Rachel looked
up at Lily; her eyes bright and clear through the shopping rush, and held out
an armful of garments.
�Everything�s sooo amazing!�
�Oh dear,�
Lily thought, looking at her friend with concern.
�Erm�hey Rache?� Lily asked the
Gryffindor as she started delving into the shelves again, �erm�maybe
you should calm down, you know�there�s plenty of time.�
Rachel laughed
shortly and then continued, ignoring the Head Girls warnings completely.
Rolling her eyes, Lily paused and then looked at what her best friend had
selected. Tops of all different styles and colours overloaded her arms;
trousers with drawstrings, zips, chains, some with patterns, some without;
skirts that zipped at the front, the back, the sides, some with belts, some
that had buttons which wrapped around; about four pairs of shoes were held in
her fingers, and Lily was sure she got a glimpse of a red Pashmina
in there as well.
Her head swam
as she took in her best friends� choices of attire. It was as if she had walked
past the shelves and pulled every random item into her arms�which Lily thought
could be the actual truth.
Across the
room, the three boys were slowly looking through the large amount of different
clothes. Surprisingly enough, Sirius had actually picked up a couple of items
that he thought �may� fit into his careful choice of clothing. It was only a
blue shirt and a pair of jeans, similar to the ones James had lent to him, but
at least he was starting to appreciate Muggle
clothing somewhat.
James thought
it may have something to do with Lily saying that he looked attractive in the
clothes, and if she hadn�t�he probably wouldn�t even be bothering to look at
them.
Sirius� voice
snapped James out of his thoughts, �How does this look?�
James turned
slowly and looked horrified at his best friends� serious question. Sirius was
holding a black shirt against his chest and had moved his shiny black hair over
it, to see if it suited.
�How the hell am I meant to know?� James asked,
his eyes wide at the uncomfortable situation.
Sirius rolled
his eyes and looked back at him expectantly, �Come on Prongs, you know about
all this stuff.�
After James�
silence, Sirius glared at him, �It�s not like I�m asking you out! Just say
whether it suits me!�
�No, it
doesn�t!� the Head Boy snapped back.
Sirius� glare
dropped fast into a hurt expression, and he whined, �Yes it does.�
�Then why did
you ask me?� James asked, sighing in angered exasperation.
Sirius looked
like a child that had just had his candy taken away from him. James, scared to
think that he might develop Chibi eyes and start
bawling right in the shirt section, looked at him with a guarded expression.
�I only wanted
a second opinion,� he muttered, then adding quickly, �not yours Wormtail.�
Peter glared
at him, muttering under his breath. Sirius chose to ignore him and turned back
to James; dumping the clothes he had picked into his best friends arms. James
was too astonished for his brain to form words, as Sirius turned around again
and selected something else.
Meanwhile,
Lily was trying � but failing miserably � to calm Rachel down. She was sure
that the Gryffindor�s father, who happened to be
paying for this little escapade, would not be pleased with the money his
daughter was going to drain out of his �Wizard & Muggle
Together� account. Lily glanced quickly at a few racks of different trousers,
but nothing really caught her eye enough to buy it. She had to have that bond
with the clothes that she bought; she couldn�t just buy any old random stuff,
which her best friend was currently doi�
�Rachel!� Lily
shouted, glaring, �You can�t be serious!�
The Gryffindor
girl looked around at her and smiled sheepishly, saying, �Come on Lil, I have to try on the stuff before I buy them, you know
what I�m like with sizes�I never seem to get the right one.�
�You can�t
possibly expect me to wait for you while you try everything on�it�ll take
forever! No Rachel, I�m serious, I�m not!�
The girl
before her gave her a pout that the most spoilt child in the world would be
proud of.
�You�re mean
Lily Evans.�
�No Rachel,
I�m realistic. Now come on�buy the stuff so we can leave�I�m sure the guys are
bored out of their minds.�
A loud whine
made them both turn around in the direction the sound came from.
�Pppllleeaasseee Jaammeesss!�
�No!� Lily
heard her boyfriend say forcefully.
�Pppllleeaaassseeeee!�
�No Sirius!�
Lily looked
back at Rachel, whose eyes were shifting quickly back and forth between her and
the door of the girls changing rooms.
�Wait here,�
the Head Girl said pointedly.
Walking
towards the sounds of arguing Marauders, Lily saw the strangest sight that she
probably would see where James and Sirius were concerned. An unfortunate pair
of stonewash jeans was being tugged backwards and forwards between the two
black haired boys; Sirius whining loudly as James tried to pull the helpless
garment from his grasp, and not succeeding in the slightest.
�Let the jeans
go, Sirius!�
�Noooo�I want to try them onnnnn!�
�Guys come on,
don�t fight,� Peter piped up.
�Shut up!�
James and Sirius said in unison, their glares biting into the small Marauder
and making him flinch.
The struggling
ensued as they both managed to grab hold of a leg each, tugging even harder as
their glares of anger spurred the battle on further.
�Give them to
me!� James barked at his so-called best friend.
�No, you bastard! I want to try them on!�
�For Christ�s sake, Sirius!�
�What the hell
are you two doing?� Lily yelled at them.
Rrrrriiiipppp!
A wash of
silence flooded the room as the two boys slowly turned to the furious red-head
over from them. James� mouth opened and closed attractively like a goldfish as
he tried to find something appropriate to say. Nothing, however, came to mind.
�Look what
you�ve done you stupid idiots!�
Sirius
promptly dropped his leg of material and it plopping gently to the floor.
�I-I didn�t do
it!� he said quickly, �James started it!�
The poor jeans
that had been ripped in half, laid with one leg haphazardly on the floor, and
the other in James� white-knuckled grasp. What was going to happen now? Were
they going to get arrested but the Muggle Policemen?
�Oh, shut up
Sirius!� Lily bit back at his childish attempt of an excuse, �half of those
jeans were in your hand when they ripped; giving you joint responsibility!�
The two
Marauders looked at each other guiltily. James didn�t know what to say to his
girlfriend as she stared menacingly at him. She had gone from the girl-he-loved
to fire-breathing-dragon in 2.3 seconds flat, and to tell the truth, it scared
James to Hell.
�Honestly!
What were you thinking? I can�t go anywhere with you two without you both
embarrassing me or something! Why do you have to be so
selfish?!�
James frowned;
not really knowing where she was going with this. He glanced at Sirius quickly,
noticing that he apparently didn�t know or care either, as he kicked the ripped
jeans with the toe of his black boot.
The Head Boy
could vaguely feel the Muggles eyes on them as Lily
stood there and yelled obscenities at them; and he flushed lightly at being
told off like a little boy by his girlfriend.
�God woman!� Sirius shouted, drawing James� attention back to him,
�Come up for breath already!�
James cringed
as he watched Lily�s face contort from utter shock then fast into red, hot
anger. Her green eyes flashed madly, her auburn hair seeming to crackle with
electric as she fumed dangerously.
However, James
knew that it wasn�t electric that was pulsing through her veins; the immense
anger that she was experiencing could quickly lead to some unlawful magic-using
if they weren�t careful.
�You-will-pay-for-those-jeans,�
Lily growled; her voice unnaturally low and husky through the suppressed anger.
Sirius looked
at her as though she had sprouted another head, and asked incredulously, �Why
would I want to do that? I�m not going to be buying them if they are ripped, am
I? It�s not like I could wear them in that state!�
�You will pay
for them Sirius,� she ground out, �you will pay for them and then we will
leave.�
�No! I don�t
think I should!�
James watched
tentatively, as Lily clenched her fists; looking about ready to punch him
around the face if he didn�t cooperate. Sirius noticed this too and began to
back off a little.
�Erm�� he began, his eyes flickering between her fists and
back to her face, �I think it would be best if they were paid for but�I don�t
think I should pay for it all you know. James also did it�you said it yourself Lils�.�
James turned
quickly to Sirius, �What?! No!�
�Come on
James�accept your responsibility,� he said, glaring at him.
�Yes, you
should James,� Lily agreed, her voice changing again as she set her eyes on the
Head Boy, �you were both involved.�
�But�� James
whimpered, being cut off by Lily�s hard glare, ��fine.�
Lily bent down
quickly, picked up the second half of the jeans that resided on the floor and
thrust them hard into Sirius� chest; startling him from her venom.
�There you
are,� she said sweetly, her eyes betraying her anger, �off you go, both of
you.�
The two boys
looked at each other and then walked reluctantly to the pay desk where the shop
assistant stood. Lily watched them with sadistic amusement as they explained
their feeble excuse to the Muggle woman about how the
jeans came to be as they were; who � Lily could tell � didn�t believe them in
the slightest.
After rounding
up Rachel, her arm full of clothes, and making her pay for them with force,
they had finally left �River Island� and were now walking down one of the
massive isles of the Shopping Centre. With shops either side of them, there had
been some commotion when Rachel had wanted to go into them all; earning a sharp
yet venomous glare from Lily, she reluctantly became silent.
After going
inside �Freespirit�, a shop that Lily loved, she had
bought some items herself, which she was quite pleased about. The shop was
expensive, but the clothes in there were great and she had purchased two tops
and a pair of �RoxyLife� Jeans. She was also quite
proud of the fact that she had only spent about 10 to 15 minutes browsing; much
to the dismay of Rachel, and the surprise of the three Marauders.
�Lily, where�s that shop you said that you were going to take me
to?� Sirius asked, causing her to grin slightly.
�We�re on the
way to it now, Sirius,� she said, glancing up at James as she spoke.
�What sort of
shop is it exactly, Lil?�
The Head Girl
turned to Rachel�s question telling her in no uncertain terms that she would
see when they got there. James looked at his girlfriend as she walked next to
him, holding a shopping bag in her right hand. A question made its way into his
mind as he remembered her ranting in the �River Island� shop.
�Hey Lil, when exactly have we embarrassed you before? You said
that we had, you know, when you were shouting at us.�
Lily turned
her face to look at her boyfriend closely, then turned back to look in front of
her as she walked. After a silence, James began to think that she was
deliberately ignoring him, but she spoke finally.
�You seem to
have forgotten a certain club incident, Potter.�
James frowned
at her answer, and then understanding flooded his features as he remembered.
�Oh,� he said
simply.
The night
flashed back into his mind as he remembered watching her dance with some Muggle guy, his body pressed against hers, as his fingers
gripped into her hips; sliding hands along the soft flesh that he found. James
remembered the searing jealousy�the intense need to put the Muggle
boy in his place and drag Lily off with him.
In
fact�that�s exactly what I did�
James didn�t
regret it one bit however, but he wouldn�t tell his girlfriend that piece of
information. He recalled that he couldn�t stand watching the display across the
room, but he couldn�t drag his eyes away either; in fear of what the two might
do if he did. He didn�t blame the boy for being caught up with desire for her;
he knew that Lily had looked undoubtedly appealing that night. That was why he
got jealous, right? Wasn�t it? But maybe it was something else�his love for her
maybe? But�was he in love with her then? He had to be�
He remembered
the feeling though�the heartbreaking feeling of the palm of
her hand meeting the soft skin of his face�
�Oh exactly,�
she replied shortly, snapping him out of his thoughts.
James looked
back at her, his eyes gliding over her delicate features�her soft red lips�lips
that slid against his skin, causing gasps to escape his throat�her verdant
eyes�filled with passion as she looked at him�her creamy, soft skin�supple and
silky as he plundered it with touch�
�I love you,
you know Lil�.�
Lily looked up
at him, her eyes meeting his, slightly startled at the public declaration. She
smiled a gentle, welcoming smile, �I love you too, James.�
He wound his
hand into her left, bringing it up to his face and softly pressing a kiss to
her knuckles; her skin smooth as honey as his lips met with it. Smiling, he
released her hand from his face but held it securely in his larger one as they
walked. Sirius� voice brought them back to their surroundings.
�What?� Lily
asked, missing his question.
�Isn�t that
the shop?�
The Marauder
pointed to the large neon sign that hung above the entrance; indicating the
shop �Ann Summers�. Lily�s smile melted into a mischievous smirk and she nodded
at him.
�Well, what
are we waiting for then?� he frowned.
�Nothing,� she
answered sweetly, �we�re right behind you Siri�.�
Glancing at
her quickly, they walked to the entrance of the purple coloured shop, the
feathers and the tubs of what looked like oils making the Head Girl grin wider.
He�s about
to get the shock of his life�
The shop was
quite dark as they entered it, the low lights causing them to look around in
surprise.
�Have fun,
Sirius,� Lily grinned and dragged James by the hand around the corner; leaving
the two Marauders standing there. Rachel had apparently vanished off, probably
buying more stuff. Sirius� curiosity got the better of him as he peered further
into the shop. He could see things on racks and walls; strangely shaped items,
and drapes of material catching his gaze. Walking down one side, Sirius left Wormtail as he began to explore. The shelves were full of
bottles and tubs of different substances, which were labelled strangely.
�Cherry massage oil?� Sirius asked himself softly, �hmm�wonder what
that�s like.�
A grin flew
across his features as he imagined buying that for Amiya�and
maybe using it on her.
I�m sure
she�d love that�
To his
interest, there were all different kinds of colours, flavours and smells, and
he picked some up; seeing what they were like. Moving along the wall, he
noticed a group of bottles labelled �Chocolate Flavoured Paint�. Sirius
frowned, he had heard of paint before in Muggle
Studies and how they used it to �decorate� stuff�like their weird two-storey
houses.
But why
would they want it flavoured? Hmm�it doesn�t make sense�
Picking up the
bottle of �paint�, Sirius read the description on the side. �Chocolate
flavoured body paint; heightens your pleasure with extraordinary tastes. Free
paint brush.�
The Marauder
blinked, thinking out loud, �That�s weird�pleasure?�
He placed the
bottle back onto the shelf carefully, gazing thoughtfully at all the other
items. After he had looked at the shelves, he moved on further, coming up to a
rack that looked like to be female Muggle clothes.
They were labelled �Bed Clothes� and seemed to be a pair of shorts that
went with a small top with two straps. What caught his attention was the
writing that looked to be sewn onto the garments.
�Angel by
day�
was written across the front of the top and the shorts had been displayed so
that the back was visible, also reading �Devil by night�. Sirius� eyes
widened as he took in the sight of the female bed garments; staring with mixed
shock and amazement that Muggle Girls actually wore
this sort of stuff.
�Damn,� he
laughed, grinning like an idiot.
He stepped
past more racks of bed clothes, walking further into the depths of the shop.
Sirius noticed a wall on the other side that had all different bits and pieces
on. He made his way over slowly; his eyes widening more as he made out what was
hanging on the walls. A laugh bubbled from his throat as he saw these objects
that were labelled �key rings� and they were in shapes of teddy bears and there
was even a moose version. What had made the Marauder laugh however was that the
normally innocent items had rather large phallic objects on the front of them. One version of the teddy bears also had tiny leather
clothes and in his paw he carried a black whip. Looking across the display, his
eyes rested on a pair of pink fluffy hand-cuffs, and down further to a few
funny items like �Cream filled Cocks� or extra small condoms, which
Sirius thought would barely even fit on his little finger�thank god.
They�re
just a joke right? I hope so anyway�I feel sorry for the guy that has to buy
them�
Sirius laughed
loudly at the thought. His eyes roamed over sex-dice and other obscenities that
his Wizard mind could barely comprehend.
�This place is
amazing,� he said softly, looking around further.
The Kama Sutra and other sexual books stood propped up proudly
on a shelf, and he spotted a book named �100 different ways to pleasure your
Girlfriend�.
�I should get
that for James,� Sirius said to himself, grinning, �he
probably needs the help.�
What caught
his eye next was two large velvet drapes that obscured another entrance; the
deep purple velvet giving the appearance of thick, sultry passion. His
curiosity rose another notch as he thought about what
surprises may lay beyond the parted veil. The material was heavy and sexy as he
pushed further inside; the darkness drawing him closer; making him
want�something. The faint lights were enticing, lying inside the darkness as
though it held them captive, and certainly not the other way around.
Sirius stepped
into the dim light; more clothes catching his attention, and this time he
seemed a little more interested.
�This stuff is
like what Amiya wears,� he breathed, reaching out to
touch the silky underwear that lay in his line of vision.
Blacks and
reds assaulted his eyes, weaves of lace and satin; everything that his
testosterone craved. He could imagine the complex materials teasing and
caressing soft, warm female flesh as she wore it. His fingers running over her
smooth thighs and her soft chest as the fabric brushed the tips of his fingers.
Sirius found himself breathing faster; his mouth suddenly dry
with desire. What was it about this stuff? It held him as tight as a spell; his
mind hazy as his tongue swept out to moisten dry lips.
A feminine
voice tugged him back down to reality suddenly, �Can I help you with anything,
Sir?�
The Marauder
turned around quickly, coming face to face with a petite Muggle
girl, who from the name tag she wore was called Jessica. She couldn�t have been
much older than Sirius himself as he took in her slight appearance and soft
features; her long dark blonde hair resting at the small of her back.
Sirius choked
out a reply after he paused, �Erm�no thanks, I�m
fine.�
�Are you
sure?� she asked, looking at him with renewed interest, �You look a little
lost.�
He paused again,
�I�m okay. I�m just browsing�for my�girlfriend.�
�Oh, right,�
the girl said, backing off from the tall, black haired boy, �well�if you need
me, I�ll be just out there.�
Sirius watched
the blonde girl as she walked with through the draped entrance; leaving him
alone once more with the female Muggle underwear. He
paused again, looking over all of the different kinds and imagining the Slytherin in them. He grinned at the thought.
�James! You�re
doing it wrong!�
Sirius turned
around quickly towards the back of the room where a curtain flapped as movement
passed behind it. He frowned at hearing Lily�s voice, wondering where her and
his best friend were.
�Well, I don�t
know how to do it,� James� voice answered, �I�m a guy�guy�s don�t have to do
this stuff!�
�It�s not
rocket-science!� he heard her snap at him, �There are two little clips, that�s all!�
James sighed
in exasperation, �It�s all�fiddly.�
�Oh, for gods
sake,� she grumbled under her breath.
Sirius moved
towards the sounds of their voices, not realising what exactly they were doing
behind the curtain. Reaching for the soft purple material, he pulled it back
and revealed his best friend and his girlfriend�trying on clothes apparently.
�Oh my god!� Lily shrieked, covering her bra as she spotted Sirius
gawking at her like an idiot, �What the hell are you doing? Get out!�
James looked
at his best friend, pushed him out of the cubicle and pulling the curtain
across them again. Sirius was silent as he was pushed out, the shock of seeing
James� girlfriends� bra-clad chest seeming to shock him into no words.
�God, you�re
such an idiot, Sirius!� Lily snapped at him through the curtain, Sirius finally
managing to speak again.
�Hey, sorry Lils��I didn�t know what you were doing.�
�Yeah, well
say something next time, before you come barging in like that!�
Sirius
grinned, �If it�s any consolation�you have a great chest, Evans.�
�Hey, I resent
that, Padfoot,� James said in slight sarcasm.
There was a
pause before the Head Girl spoke with a sigh, �Just shut up Sirius.�
Sirius could
tell she was slightly flattered by his comment.
Sirius had
waited for them to come out of the cubicle, and they had had a quick look
around at the underwear again before moving over to the other side of the room.
They stepped up to a display that had a large warning attached to it, �Warning
� 18 years or older�. Lily blushed slightly as the boys frowned and looked
at the shelves. After a pause their faces split into large grins and they
chuckled, looking at the Head Girl.
�Now we know
why you love this place,� Sirius said, laughing, �it just keeps getting better
and better.�
�Shut up,� she
answered, her face touched with a soft red tinge.
The two boys
looked back over the shelves, taking in all of the��women�s electrical
equipment� and grinned lewdly. Their eyes grew wide as they took in the
different sizes, shapes and colours, until Lily couldn�t stand their comments
any longer and pulled them away. Finding Rachel by the pay desk, purchasing
more items, they tugged her out of the shop and found Peter outside.
�Didn�t you go
in?� Sirius asked him, watching with amusement as Peter silently shook his
head.
After looking
around a few more shops, Lily took them for something to eat; protesting
against Sirius� pleas for McDonald�s until he got so irritable, she gave in
just to shut him up.
�I�ve heard
about it in Muggle Studies,� he said, his eyes
glittering with excitement as they entered, �they said it�s meant to be really
good!�
�It�s
fattening, Sirius,� Rachel said tediously as though he was the biggest idiot on
the planet.
The Marauder
frowned in irritation, �Why do you girls worry about that kind of stuff? It�s
so stupid!�
�You don�t
have to, Sirius,� Lily replied, �because you�re so skinny.�
�Hey! I�m not
skinny!� he exclaimed, �These stupid Muggle clothes
make it look like that! I have muscles! I�ll show you them when we get home,
Evans!�
�Please
don�t!� she said quickly, earning a glare from the Marauder, and sighing
because he was back to hating the clothes again.
They ate
slowly, talking about various things � Rachel; about her clothes � and left
soon after. They only had about half an hour left, so Lily decided to go to the
information centre and pick up some leaflets for their assignment.
They made it
back to the large Muggle clock with a couple of
minutes to spare, as Rachel and Sirius had wanted to stop at one of the sweets
stalls; making Lily worry that they would be late. The Professor counted all of
the students, assuring that they were all present and that none were lost.
Fortunately, everyone had turned up safely, with a few being a couple of
minutes late. But the Professor had accommodated for this circumstance and had
made sure that the Porkey�s could be activated by him
and not by a specific time.
Holding the
glove in their group, the Professor activated it with a quick spell, and they
felt the tug pull them into the thick, swirling material; the Muggles totally oblivious to their actions. They arrived
quickly into the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts, all glad to be home and in their
normal environment and able to use magic�to a certain degree anyway.
Lily and James
trudged up the wide staircase towards the Head Common room, the exhaustion of
the day making it evident in their eyes and movements. They dropped the
shopping bags hastily onto the floor of the common room and walked over to the
sofa together; revelling in the silence that only tiredness could create.
Flopping down onto the sofa cushions, James looked up at Lily and she smiled
warmly at him.
�Come here,�
he said gently, holding his arm out to her.
The Head Girl
moved towards her boyfriend as he grasped her arm, pulling her down towards his
body, and kissing her lazily; soft and slow. He brushed his fingers down her
face gently as they just gazed at each other; weariness making their eyes
gentle and subtle.
�I love you, Lil,� he said to her, as she kissed him soundly again.
�I love you
too,� she answered quietly, as James pulled her down to rest against his chest.
They laid
together, James� fingers playing against the curve of her shoulder as she
closed her eyes and sighed. Quickly, slumber took them away; exhausted yet
sated for now in a warm embrace, and letting the calm wash over them as one,
which they knew would be forever.
