You... - Harry Potter Next Generation Fanfic

Chapter 17 - A Room Full of Questions

James' P.O.V

I swear her face was priceless! As she walked in she was surrounded by the perfect date. It was a ballroom with frost kissed white pillars covered in glass and crystals alike. The entire room was a decor of golds, silver, and diamonds. The marble floor was gold and white with dashes of silver. The walls were half silver and half white while the ceiling was decorated in golden colours and diamonds glittering. The room was gigantic, perfectly thought out. To the side were insturments playing classical music, they were playing Vivialdi's Autumn when she walked in. It was also charmed to play her favourites.  I had been planning this for a while now. I would come here. Sit down and think of different arrangements and so on. I have never felt like this before. I wanted to do everything for her. But why? That's a mystery. I looked at her up and down. Her silky babydoll outfit changed my entire state of mind to a dirtier perspective. I have never done it, but this would be the perfect time. I mean come on, it's her birthday, she in nothing but pjs, we are completely alone in a room that will give us all that we desire...then my eyes fall onto her face. The look on her face made me...happy, i guess, I mean she looked like she was in paradise.

"This is wonderful James!" she said as she looked up and was practically spinning around glancing at the ceiling. She then looked worried all of a sudden and looked down at herself. "I am in nothing but my nighty..." she was blushing like crazy when I laughed at her. She looked at me weirdly and embaressed, I went up to her and pulled her chin up to meet my eyes.

"We're in the Room of Requirement," I told her, "it changes it's appearance and size to suit the seekers' needs and wishes, it also likes to be thanked, so thank it."

"Thank-you!" she yelled to the ceiling. I laughed at her as she looked at me and gasped, I was suddenly in fine, black and white dress robes and I pictured her in her dream dress. She took a step back in shock as she looked at herself and I was shocked with the outcome. She was in a white gown with a Golden stiched strapless corset until her bellybutton, the white silk fabric flowed after that and had a skirt that was designed to be perfect for dancing. She had gold gloves that went half way above her elbow, like a princess. She had her hair flowing in her natural curls, but they were kept in perfect place with no sign of frizzing or of a loose curl. She had her neck bare and studded diamonds in her ears. She truly looked wonderful. As she spun around in circles, loving her gown, I noticed that the shoes I bought her were already on her feet, her simple golden dancing shoes with a glittering diamond- like heel. The room seemed to have upgraded them though, considering I don't have that kind of money. Her gown, the way her face lights up and everything about her in this one picture was making me feel...I don't know...I feel...I have a more than a crush on her but...do I love her?

Lyra's P.O.V

I couldn't believe it! This is the best birthday gift ever! He introduced me to the perfect place, the one place that I feel like a princess other than on some stage or at the Manor, I feel...FREE! Like I could go outside and destroy this dress but the Room would be there with another one, like I could be embaressing and inappropirate but no one was going to stare at me or think badly of me because I felt so FREE! Like a million chains were broken to pieces. No more Miss Proper or Miss Neat and Tidy or Miss PERFECT! I loved this so much! I swear to Beauxbatons' lady...

I went up to James and kissed him, no I like pounced on the guy! He had to fix his footing to keep himself upright and I didn't break away from the kiss. I know my mother is completely against me doing this but what the hell, this was too awesome to pass up and he is just so...perfect! I never had a guy do this for me. He broke away from this and I thought I had totally just messed everything up.

He placed his forehead to mine and looked at me with a type of seriousness I never saw before, I think he's nervous again but, at the same time...confident, for what?

"Lyra..."he started as she put a curl behind my ear, "will you be my girlfriend?" I froze, no one ever asked me that before I didn't know what to say. I mean, I kinda thought we were already dating but oh well, even this is even better!

"We don't have to- I mean- Ii want to- if you don't want to- that's- ok- ish- yeah like-," James started stammering like an idiot and grabbed his tie and placed another kiss on his soft lips.

"Sure I'll be your girlfriend, you blubbering idiot!" I said as I smacked his arm jokingly. He kissed me this time. And I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me closer. On godric I hope we are not going to be in -from what Rita calls it- two bunnies banging time.

James' P.O.V

"Sure I'll be your girlfriend, you blubbering idiot!" and she smacked my arm, I did a playful 'ouch' with my mouth before jumping her with it. He lips were soft and smooth. She's so petite and fits underneith my arms like a glove. I have snogged my fair share of witches, but I don't know if I can get over this one.

Do I love her though? I don't know. To be completely honest I don't even know what love is supposed to feel like! The only thing I did know was that I like her and beauty and her passion and her silliness and the dumb looks she gives me, I like it all!

I don't plan giving it up anytime soon.
