Lily and James: Their Story of Love

Secret Lily

Chapter 19 - Questions

Katy and Remus Lupin had tried to sneak back into the Gryffindor Common Room without being noticed. It was late, far later than they had intended to come back. They really could not find many words to say. Katy had experienced her first 'time' and Remus felt horrible about it. He didn't want to have to have sex with Katy. That's not what he wanted. He was extremely worried that she thought he only wanted her for sex. Remus Lupin was just not like that.

When they opened the door to the Common Room, they saw two figures lying asleep on the couch. A large black mess could be seen hovering over a short red bob of something. 'Lily and James? Why aren't they in their dorms?' Katy thought. She was slightly embarrassed to be seen coming back into the common room with her hair messed up and her lip gloss smeared and Remus Lupin right behind her. She knew that Remus was not the kind of guy to spread rumors, but she thought her first time should be sacred. Katy glanced over to the couch a little closer, and saw that Lily and James were sleeping.

Remus looked at them, then to Katy and had a confused expression on his face. He eyes Katy but she shook her head.

"Why do you think they're down here?" Remus asked.

"No idea. Don't they have a Common Room in their dorm?" Katy asked, still looking slightly bewildered. She was making an attempt to fix her hair. She felt a sigh of relief surge through her body when she found Lily and James asleep. She walked over to the mirror on the wall and started fixing her make-up.

"Katy, um, did I? Did I.. did I hurt you?" Remus asked quietly.

"Remy! Is that why you've been so quiet? Because you think you hurt me?" Katy asked looking surprised. She knew she had been right to choose him. She wanted to experience love before death and was thankful it had been him to relieve her of her virginal ways.

"Well, no, maybe. Actually, kind of. I thought you would hate me after it. Maybe even think I only liked you for sex and that sex was the only way to stay with me. I am not like that at all," Lupin said.

"No, I never thought you were like that. You did not hurt me. I was the one who asked you to do this for me. It's not your fault in any way for anything. I love you so much it hurts. I needed to know that you loved me back," Katy said.

"I know how you feel. When I saw you unconscious by the lake I was so scared I would lose you. I was so unhappy we had never gotten into a relationship. I was just so scared about you not liking me being a werewolf. It would ruin most relationships," he said.

"I know how it feels to almost die. And now, Lily and James do too. When they came back last night I felt like if I didn't fulfill my life to the fullest, I would feel incomplete when I died," Katy said, strands of her blonde hair falling into her face.

"Lily and James what?" someone said from the couch. James had woken up and looked half-awake. Lily was still sleeping, but her light snores were not there.

"We were talking about what happened in Hogsmeade today, I mean yesterday technically," Remus said.

"What time is it?" James asked him. He looked slightly alarmed, like he was late for something

"Um, 4:03," Katy answered, he handy stop-watch at her wrist.

"Why are you guys up so early?" someone else said. Lily had awoken, her usually perfect red hair a mess, with a crease in the side where she had been laying on James.

Katy and Remus both looked at each other. Though Lily and James were their best friends, they were not quite ready to talk about what happened. James looked at them suspiciously when an awkward silence followed.

"Are you two, um, back-together?" Lily asked.

"Well, technically, we were never together. But yes, we go out," Katy said as she rolled her eyes. "And why are you two here anyways?" she asked Lily.

"Long story. Um, James, can we tell them the just of it?" Lily asked her boyfriend.

"I suppose," he said.

"Well, me and James had like an identical nightmare about Voldemort. And, well, we got up and talked about it. We think it's Voldemort trying to mess with our minds, or unlikely, we could be Seers of some sort. James says it runs in his family but I'm a muggle," Lily said. She looked to James while she caught her breathe.

"Oh ok. I'll say it. Well, we were going to wait for Dumbledore but after about a half an hour, we got bored. And anxious. So, we headed up to the Owlery to send a message to Professor Dumbledore saying we needed to speak to him. By that time, we were really quite tired and not wanting to walk all the way to the Heads Rooms. So we came here," James said.

He looked at Remus and Katy, seeing the confusion in their eyes. He knew that they would not buy that they had some ordinary nightmare. Remus, knowing James oh so well, knew when James wasn't telling him something. After all, Remus was the first to realize James liked Lily in third year.

"Ok, I am not going to ask you guys anything else because well, we don't really want to talk about anything ourselves. So if you want to just crash in our dorms tonight that'd be-" Remus got cut off by the opening of the common room picture hole. In came Peter Pettigrew; along with Severus Snape.

A/N: Haha, Cliffie. Please review.
