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

Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Lily, James, Sirius and Remus were nearing the end of their first half of training.

The four wanted to go out and celebrate, making it through so far. It was only thirty-eight people in the class now. A fact that Moody said was quite amazing considering how grueling it was and that the second half would make or break the rest of them.

The four had headed for a small Muggle restaurant where they were to meet with Sirius’s girlfriend Connie. They had gotten a table in the back corner. After such a long time in class around Moody, they were never going to have a table near the front or with their backs to the door again. Sirius was glad to greet his girlfriend who was looking very pleased to be included in their get together. Everyone always treated her as part of the group. Lily was really glad to have another girl to talk with when they were all out; she loved the guys all very much but sometimes missed female talk.

Lily had not mention to James or the others that she was feeling even more upset and worried about Severus, she had not heard from him in about three months now and when she had gone to his place to check on him, he was never home. Lily hoped that he had not changed his mind about wanting to keep her in his life.

Lily had to trust to his talent and brains that he would be fine and she would not hear about his death in the Daily Prophet which was constantly talking about who had died, disappeared or was otherwise residing in St. Mungo for magical catastrophe. It seemed too few of the Death Eaters were residing in Azkaban.

It was while they were eating that Lily had noticed Snape walking by the window talking with several from the Slytherin house. Mulciber, Avery, Igor, Malfoy who she noticed was holding onto Narcissa who looked as though she was trying to look overly pleased and her sister Bellatrix with LeStrange who seemed to be looking at Bellatrix with something close to resentment. There were a few older men that Lily did not know and one short woman she knew from School. Delores Umbridge was bustling behind them all, looking very pompous.

Lily wondered what they were up too.

“Look who’s going by?” Remus said softly as he looked out the window. Everyone turned their attention to the window to see the group near the other end of the restaurant.

“It figures there out causing trouble as always.” Sirius said with a sneer on his handsome face. “Don’t worry though it’s nothing we can’t handle if they come in here.” Sirius told Connie who looked concerned.

After their lunch the six of them walked out into the bright sun light, it was causing them all to blink with the sun after the dimness of the interior of the restaurant.  Sirius had his arm around Connie’s waist as he looked around the place. “Well I don’t see them, wish I knew what they were up too?” Sirius said to the others.

“Yeah it’d be nice to be able to tell Dumbledore something, useful.”

“Yes I know, it seems weird to be out working for him but never finding out much.” James commented.

“What do you do?” Connie asked curiously.

“Mainly spy on the Death Eaters and try to learn what there up too and stop them if they go after anyone.” Sirius told her. Connie looked very worried about this.

“Is it …. Dangerous?” Connie asked her eyes showing her concern.

“Yeah but where’s the fun without the danger.” Sirius told her with a laugh. Connie looked stunned by this. Sirius leaned down to her kissing her gently. “No worry sweetheart, we know what we’re doing.” Sirius kissed her again, it seem to relax her as she melted against his chest. The two of course fell into a heavy snogging session.
