The other black (J. Potter love story)

Chapter 8

I have no clue how I even got Lyra to agree to the date with me last night. But I somehow did, and you wanna know what? It was the most fun I have had in a while with a girl. She has made me forget every thought that I have ever had about Lilly. I start to open my eyes to see pads and Moony grinning over me. "AHHHHHH," I scream, lifting the covers over my chest. "AHHHHH." They shout back in a sarcastic voice. "Prongs, why are you covering your chest? It's not like you have anything to cover that we haven't seen before." Pads say. I let out a breath. "You scared me. It was my first instinct." I say. I drop the covers, and they get off me. I push them off me and jump out of bed and make a mad dash to the bathroom. I take off my boxers and get in the shower. 

Once I'm done getting ready for the day, I meet the boys in the great hall. We somehow beat most people to the great hall. We all sit down, and I get a view where I can view the hall's doors to watch out for Lyra. Regulas and her walk in a few minutes later. I can't keep my eyes off her. She sits down and looks right at me. I give a wink. She looks away, well blushing. I laugh. "What's so funny, Prongs," Moony says, looking up from the book he brought with him. "Nothing," I tell him. I look back over to Lyra, but I see Regulas is looking around and looks straight at me. I divert my eyes. I then see a piece of paper lying in front of me. It's my schedule. "When id we get these?" I ask. "5 minutes ago. You missed Lilly passing them out." Peter squeaks out. "Yeah, you've been too busy starring at Lyra to notice she was here," Remus says, still not meeting my eye. I roll my eyes. I see Lyra stand up and walk out of the great hall. "I'll be right back," I say and leap off the bench and start to step out of the great hall. I follow Lyra till I catch up with her. "And how are you doing this lovely day Black," I say. "I am doing nicely, thank you for asking. How are you doing?" she says back.

 "I am missing a certain someone, but other than that, I am excellent as well." I start to flirt with her. "And who might this lovely lady be that has captured your attention?" She asks, baiting me. I try to play along as much as I can. I don't want to be desperate. "Why, of course, my dear Lillypad," I say, just joking. I keep walking, then I notice she is not by my side. I turn around, and she's just standing there. Shit, I said the wrong thing. "What's wrong?" I ask. "You still like Lilly?" She asks. Shit, I really screwed up. "What, Lyra, no. I was joking. You are the one I am missing." I say, walking up to her and cupping her cheek. I meet her eyes. "I've given up on Lilly. I realized that the world isn't just her." I add. I bring her lips up to mine. 

They taste like chocolate from the chocolate chip muffin that she took a bite of. I could kiss her lips forever. She pulls back, disconnecting our lips. "James was in the middle of a corridor. Someone could see." She says. "I don't care. Let them see. I want everyone to know." I say, throwing my hands in the air. "James, we are not anything right now. Things are still raw from Turner." She answers me. I sigh. I understand what she's going through, and I don't want to force her to do anything she doesn't like. "I know, and I want to be here for you when you're ready," I tell her. "Thank you. This doesn't mean we don't have to stop seeing each other." She adds with a smile. I smile back at her. "I wasn't going to let you stop," I add. I give her a peck on the lips, then rush back to the great hall. 

I see the marauders leaving the great hall. "We all have potions first. Pads are carrying your book bag and schedule." Moony said. I grab my stuff from Sirius. "What were you and Lyr talking about?" Sirius asks. "How did you know I was talking to Lyra?" I ask. "You got some pink lipgloss on your lips," Sirius says with a smirk and walks towards Moony. I wipe m hands across my lips, and I saw her lipgloss on my hand. I smile and catch up to the others. 

We enter the classroom, and it's filled with broom polish, the scent of lilies, and an overwhelming scent of peaches. I knew all of these scents. They were my broom, Lilly, and Lyra. Slughorn then came in and told us all to sit down. "Today's class was learning about Amortentia. Can someone tell me what that is?" He asks. Lilly raises her hand. "Yes, Mrs.Evens," Slughorn calls on her. "Amortentia, the love potion. It smells like whoever your soulmate is." She says. My eyes widen. "Prongs, shut your eyes. It looks suspicious." Pads say from next to me. "I don't think I can," I tell him. "Why? What do you smell?" He asks. "I smell broom polish, Lillies, and peaches. Basically Lilly and Lyra." I whisper back. His mouth drops. "Mrs. Black, what do you smell?" Slughorn asks Lyra. She takes a sniff. "I smell roses, a fire, and Dior Sauvage cologne." She says. My mouth widens. I look at Sirius. His is wide too. This can't be. Lyra smells me. "What do you smell, Mrs.Evens?"Slughorn asks. "I smell strawberries, my favorite fruit, lilies because of my name and what I use in my hair and broom polish," she says.

I look back to Sirius. We were both shocked. How could both Lilly and Lyra smell me?
