Chapter 27 Confessions good for the soul.

Lily sat in her room looking ideally at the walls then the window and then the ceiling. Her soft green eyes were still blood shot from crying so much. Lily was sure there could be no more tears left. It was three days ago that she had learned the worse thing possible.

Her beloved Sev was a Death Eater. For the life of her she could not understand why he had done it, it was tearing her apart.

Lily stirred a bit as she heard her name called.

“Lily.”

It was her mother again. Lily didn’t want to eat; she didn’t want to talk to anyone. Lily stayed on her bed looking at nothing but the same walls, same window and same ceiling.

A knocking came on her door.

“Go away.” Lily told the knocker. I told mom I’d come out when I was ready, why come knocking on the door now? Lily thought irritable.

The door was pushed open to show the smiling face of James Potter. Lily had turned her head to glare at the intruder.

“You should know by now I don’t behave and listen.” James was smirking at her.

Lily sat up her face flushed with anger.

“What are you doing here?” Lily asked icily.

“Ooh it’s gotten cold in here.” James laughed happily he walked over to the bed and flopped down on it.

Lily didn’t respond she just sat glaring at him. James at least then looked sheepish.

“Sorry Evans, but umm I had talked to Dumbledore and he said I might want to come cheer you up.” James smiled at her a mischievous glint in his eyes. “He would have asked one of your girlfriends but he thought I might enjoy the challenge.”

“Thanks.” Lily muttered. She swung her legs off the bed to sit on the edge next to James.

Neither said anything as they both sat looking down at her floor where a few spell books, parchment and a discarded dress sat, waiting to be put away. James scooted a bit closer to her, his arm going around her shoulders.

“Evans, can I kiss you?” James asked hopeful.

Lily laughed despite herself. “Now the real reason comes out for why you came here.” Lily looked at him a half smile on her pretty face.

“Ah caught.” James laughed.

Lily looked at him, her eyes showing a tender desire there but something else James was not sure of.

“If you ever become my boyfriend you’ll be able to kiss me.” Lily told him with a small smile playing on her lips.

James pulled her closer. “Is now the time?” He was still sounding very hopeful.

“No sorry.” Lily told him as she stood up from the bed.

“Come on Evans, you’ll enjoy it.”

“Oh I’m sure.” Lily laughed. “A conceited boyfriend is so desirable.”

James looked affronted. “I’m not the least bit conceited; I don’t think I’m nearly as great as other kids in school think I am.”

Laughter rang out through her room as she doubled over.

“At least you cheered me up.” Lily said as she straightens up from her laughing fit.

Lily stood a few feet away from James, his hazel eyes boring into her.

“You better get going, now. I’m sure Tuney will be showing up soon whining that I’ve disturbed her in some way.” Lily shook her head her thick red hair bouncing back and forth. James was captivated by it. Damn she is so beautiful.
