The Love of Patronus | JILY

Potter

          James had just finished his lessons for the day and was heading back to the Head dormitory with Sirius. Sirius was howling at the top of his lungs about some chick that he'd hooked up with a couple nights back and Peter was dragging his feet behind. He'd been looking forward to getting back from the second he left that morning. Lily was with Remus helping him recover and he wanted to take her to the lake that afternoon. Sirius and Remus hung back in the hallway as he pushed open the door.

          Remus was laying on the couch with his shirt off, Lily with one hand on his abdomen and the other on the side of his neck. He was looking calmly up at her as she talked to him.

          "Oy!" James snarled, everything in him tightening. Lily looked up and Remus jumped a little turning to look at him eyebrows risen in obvious surprise. "What's going on here?" His eyes were narrowed and his gaze focused on Remus who rolled his eyes.

          "She's healing me." He responded, voice frustrated and raspy. Lily brought her left hand away from his neck and he realized that her wand was in it.

          "Why are you shirtless? Your chest doesn't have anything on it!" James' voice was accusing, his fear spilling in.

          "James," Lily said calmly looking into his eyes with a subtle-but-definitely-there ferocity. "Get a grip."

          He held her gaze indignantly before shaking his head and heading into his room and closing the door. There was a sound of a lot of shuffling outside and with the flick of his wand, he made a little peephole in his door.

          Remus slid on his shirt, Lily standing in front of him, and after exchanging a couple words of thanks, he walked out of the room and Lily turned to James' door and pushed it open. She had done this so quickly that it hit him in the nose with a loud 'thwack!' and he jumped back, cursing.

          When he looked up, she had one eyebrow raised, hands on her hips, wand still clutched in her hand.

          "What are you doing?" She asked, her eyes narrowing - the slightly worried glance he had noticed a moment before had disappeared, replaced by a suspicious and aggravated one. 

          "I, er-" but she turned and closed the door, as she did so she noticed the new peephole. She turned back to him.

          "Has this always been here?" She asked, and he wondered if the calmness in her voice was real or forced.

          "Yes." He said quickly, "Don't you have one?" He added this, knowing that if he let her think for long enough she would realize what he had done.

          Making a thoughtful "hm" she took a step closer to him.

          "Now, about what just happened." She had a hand placed gently at the base of his neck.

          "I'm sorry." He said quickly. "I'll apologize to Remus too. It's just that you and I, we're so new and I've been chasing you for years-" His voice failed him as he realized that the gentle hand on his neck was slowly traveling down his abdomen.

          He looked down at her, his eyes sharpening on her beautiful eyes which were following her hand's progress down his front. She stopped at his belt, tugging him closer through the belt loop. 

          James felt as though all the air in his lungs evaporated. Her eyes flicked back up to his, glistening bright emerald green through thick, beautiful lashes. A playful smile curled onto her lips. 

          And then she was kissing him, and everything disappeared but the feel of her lips pressed against his. In some far away place, he heard both his and Lily Evans' wands clatter to the floor as her other hand flew up to the back of his neck and his hands pulled at her lower back.

          Then the whole nature of the kiss changed. Her left hand dropped to the first button of his shirt, tugging it gently out of its holder, James' hand dropped to grab her behind lifting her an inch higher off of the ground. In one fluid moment, he had lifted her into the air against him and her legs wrapped around his middle and as she did so- he walked her up against his door pressing her up to the wood and dipping his lips down to the side of her neck, nipping slightly.

          Lily sighed quietly, a shiver running through her body, and something below James' belt twitched. He did it again, lower this time, and continued to make a small path of light, pink spots down her neck and onto her collarbone. By this point, Lily had successfully unbuttoned James' long white shirt and she threw it off of him.

          He growled softly as her hands traveled down his front, his naked front this time, and he distinctly felt her nails. He felt his insides awaken in a way he had never felt before. He had never felt like this, ever, about anyone or anything. He lowered her slowly, still pressed against the wall until her feet touched the ground at which point he leaned down, grasped the top button of her shirt between his teeth, and tugged aggressively. Her shirt fell open, buttons clattering everywhere, but neither of them were paying attention to them. His lips were travelling down her now exposed stomach. James took this time to appreciate her beautiful figure and fair skin until his mouth reached the top of her skirt. He glanced up at her while gently placing his hand just below her knee. Their eyes met, the fire that was fueling inside of him was reflected in her beautiful eyes and as he slowly brought his head back to eye level with her, his hand travelled up with it.

          Up past her knee, along the inside of her thigh, and up to the underside of some very intricate underwear. He inhaled sharply as reached them, and Lily's playful smile returned. She was biting her lip now, and James' eyes were fixed on her tantalizing mouth.

          "Lily." He whispered, almost too quietly to hear, as his finger travelled gently back and forth along the intricate fabric on the underside of her sex. Lily's breathing had changed, it was shorter, rougher, pausing when his finger reached her most sensitive place. 

          And then as he kissed her again, he slipped his fingers underneath the fabric, making Lily let out a loud gasp.
