First Kiss Chapter one. Trying to work up the nerve!

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

The next few weeks went well, the Gryffindor team was ahead on house points, and James was still the Quiddich hero. Lily a few times had to remind James that she was only dating him because he had deflated his overly large ego and that he’d need to come back to earth before she started to date some other boy. This was accidentally over heard by a group of boys walking by them who all eagerly told her they’d be glad to take over for James. James for his part was not amused and promised to jinx the lot of them if they forgot she was his girl.

 Lily walked off laughing; James looked surprised then ran off after her.

“I just hope any kids we have, have my personality, I’m not sure this school could take another one like you.” Lily had told him as they walked down the hall and a group of girls all tittered excitably at James while waving their hands and winking at him. James ego would always grow accessibly with this attention.

James after that had brought his ego down and was back again to being his sweet pleasant self. He was also excited that she talked about them having children together.

Lily had been worried about something else though, she seemed to see less and less of Severus. She had not known where he was on their free times and had hoped among the chilling days of walking through the halls she would see him and be able to say hello.

Lily didn’t voice her concerns though, she knew James would not be fussed about not seeing him and her other friends would only laugh saying it was a relief to not have him around.

Lily did see him in classes, but he never approached her or she thought acknowledged that she was even in the classroom.

Lily fretted about it but was also so busy with school work and learning all the new and more advanced things they had to know for their NEWTS, she had been hoping that he was just very busy himself with school work and was holed up in his common room studying.

The Easter Holliday had soon arrived with a very windy April; the wind was rattling all the windows and causing people to be blown off course as they walked through the yard to their outdoor classes. Lily had bought James a large chocolate egg with their initials on it. The egg was also filled with Bertie Botts every flavor beans. Lily was very surprised with the chocolate rabbit with golden eyes that turned out to be real earrings. Lily cleaned the chocolate off and put the earrings on. She loved them and was quite happy to lavish James with many kisses. He was just as happy to encourage her to lavish him with more kisses.

That night they had planned an outing again, they felt the time was right to have some fun before they graduated and before Moony’s little furry problem.

The five of them were quietly sneaking through the halls toward the Forbidden Forest.

Lily was whispering as she held up a small blue bottle. “I have this so if we have a bit too much to drink we can still get sober before we’re caught or anything.”

Lily showed the bottle to the boys who were all looking at it with interest.

“What is it?” James asked curiously taking it from her for closer inspection.

Lily smiled as they ducked down behind a suit of armor as a few ghosts floated by.

“It’s call sobering solution, no matter how drunk you are this will instantly sober you up. I got the idea from Sluggy; I figured it’s what he had given us before. I don’t want to end up like that again. We’ve been lucky so far in ducking out of his little meetings but if we’re caught again I doubt we’ll be able to get out of it.”

“That’s my girl.” James kissed her cheek. He was very proud of her skills. He slipped the small bottle back into her pocket. Sirius, Remus and Peter all thanked her for making it.
