Turbulence

Chapter Twenty Two - Change of Plans

Here we go! Another chapter. Nothing too major happens, just some cute stuff. But yeah, it's still important you read it ;)

Update on me: So I went to my brother football (Australian football) Grand Final today and they were totally kicking ass until the umpires called for a headcount of the players. Apparently we had ONE extra player on the feild, so they wiped our score of completely. And we lost.

I can understand this rule maybe in the professional level but these are just 14 year old kids! The poor things were crying. I was murderous.

Anyway sorry about my rant. Enjoy the new chapter! xxx

Lily woke the next morning in her own bed, insisting to James that she needed sleep. She woke with a terrible taste in her mouth and a weird feeling in her stomach, and she couldn’t figure out why. Lily got out of bed slowly, feeling a bit dizzy after stretching. She woke up with just enough time to get ready, rush to the Great Hall for breakfast, and then scoot off to class. Like yesterday, she changed into her uniform and pulled her hair back in a ponytail. James was already awake of course. Somehow, he could wake up insanely early on weekdays but sleep all day on weekends. Lily walked out of her room and joined him on the couch.

“Good morning.” He said. Lily smiled and leaned down to kiss him. His lips were just the thing she needed to wake up.

“I feel like I’m forgetting something. Like there was something happening today.” Lily said thoughtfully. Something was lingering in the back of her bind and she strained to remember.

Lily gasped, jumping off the couch and racing into her bedroom. As she checked her calendar, she remembered with a jolt that today was Petunia’s wedding. She walked glumly back out to James and sunk into him.

“I remember.” She stated.

“I noticed. What is it?” He asked curiously, slipping his arms around her.

“It’s Petunia’s wedding today.” Lily told him.

“I don’t understand why you don’t just go. I mean, you have every right to.” James pointed out.

“I know but I would rather not cause trouble, especially on her special day.” Lily explained.

“I suppose.” James said, kissing her forehead. A thought occurred to him. “Why the hell are they getting married on a Tuesday?”

“They’re weird like that.” Lily laughed. “She always wanted to get married in winter. I don’t think I want to get married in such cold weather.” She added thoughtfully.

“Well, when we get married, I promise we’ll get married on a beach.” James said happily.

Lily cocked an eyebrow. “We’re getting married? I wasn’t aware of that.” She laughed.

“I bloody hope so.” James grinned. Lily smiled to herself and checked her watch. They had about five minutes to spare before it would be too late for breakfast.

“Come on,” Lily said, pulling James up. “I need to eat.”

James agreed and followed Lily, his arm around her waist. He was so relieved they had gotten over what happened the day before. Turning into his Animagus form had been a last resort, he somehow knew it would work.

            Their friends were relieved too. Again, it was another long and boring day of classes. Lily’s mind was going numb and she was sure he brain couldn’t take much more, but somehow she managed to pull through until the end of the day. Thank Merlin she had most of her classes with James, who seemed to lighten up the mood, making her laugh.
