Potter and Evans (A James & Lily Love Story [Jily])

005

(Lily P.O.V.)

I don't know what in the world made me do it but I was just lost in his eyes. And yes, after everything, after six long years, I was indeed falling for James Potter, and to be honest, I've fallen hard.

I adjusted my seat and lowered my back onto the beech tree; our feet intertwined. I rested my head softly once more on his shoulder, and I could've heard him grinning in my ear.

I felt so comfortable when he placed his arms around me, rather protectively.

"I guess you can read aloud, I wanna hear stories too." He whispered quietly in my ear.

Smiling, I opened the book which I was currently reading: 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard' and started to read the very first story.

I was halfway through it when I heard his gentle breath increasing heavily into tender snuffles. Which reminds me, the Marauders aren't back as yet. With that thought in my mind, I closed my eyes and drift off into the unknown world against a sleeping James's shoulder.

(James P.O.V.)

I was awakened by someone or someones laughing and giggling uncontrollably. Without even opening my eyes, I could smell that Lily was still here, probably sleeping, and a broad smile plastered on my face, remembering our tiny kiss.

Yet, the laughter was getting me. I squintingly open my eyes to see Sirius and Peter laughing at me...no...at us...apparently appalled. Remus and Emma were apparently shocked, their faces were hard to read, with all my precious butterbeer and Zonko's on the ground.

Lily began to stir and I mouthed a 'shut up' to Pads and Wormy, of course, to which they didn't pay heed to.

Lily rubbed her eyes and opened them cautiously. I couldn't help but notice how adorable she is when she does so. Our hands and feet, I noticed, were still intertwined.

I could see Moony and Emma now smiling, with Pads and Wormtail trying their utmost best to retain their laughter.

Lily, now realizing what the situation is, immediately sat up and tried moving her legs and hands from me but I held them tightly intact with mines. She looked up me with a pleading face, but I just smiled and bent over a little and kissed her forehead lightly.

I turned to my fellow Marauders and Emma who had awestruck faces, their eyes moving intently from me to Lily and back again.

Lily was beginning to say something but I cut her off by saying 'I'll explain,' more to Lily than the rest of the crew.

With a feeling of bravery, I asked my friends to go up to the dormitory where I'll explain everything, and very surprisingly, they left, cleaning up the mess of butterbeer and Zonkos' with a lazy flip of Remus's wand, mumbling, and whispering to each other.

Before Lily could've said anything again, I asked her curiously, "Is it true Sirius and Emma love each other?"

It was a question that was now pondering on my mind but Lily merely shrugged and shook her head.

a/n Well, we, of course, know Moony and Emma were shocked, but Sirius's reaction was priceless.

What'd you is gonna happen to the two under the beech tree?
