Breathless
Chapter III – One rose for each prank
With Christmas break over every student returned to the daily routine of: classes, Quidditch games, Hogsmeade weekends and many other things. January was very white and cold, but that didn’t stop James from inviting Lily to a walk for the castle’s grounds or to Hogsmeade. Everybody in the castle, even the teachers, were delighted with the news that the Head Boy and Girl weren’t at each others throats…well Lily at James’ throat, surely Dumbledore knew what he was doing.
On the last weekend of January, James went to Hogsmeade to buy something. He spent all day in a shop scribbling things, while the manager made the arrangements, Remus and Peter helped and Sirius laughed his eyes out. Finally they finished there and went straight to the castle; they were past curfew, that night James couldn’t sleep. What would she think about that? Is it too corny? Is she allergic to them? For Merlin’s beard, he should have listened to Padfoot!
February 1st, breakfast time. Everybody was eating pleasantly while chatting and reading their mail; Lily normally received one owl with ‘The Prophet’, but this time she received the dairy along with two beautiful roses, each one with a tiny tag, one said: ‘I’m sorry for making your hair purple in first year’; and the other said: ‘I’m sorry for making Bergman get chicken pox just before your date’. Lily read them and looked at James; he just smiled.
During the following days she received more flowers, everyone with its respective apology tag. She just didn’t know he had such good memory; he apologized for things she didn’t remember and didn’t know it was him. One day, early morning, she woke up with the rose’s sweet aroma…her bed and floor was filled with roses of different colours.
“My, my!” said Colleen Wright, a blue-eyed blonde, looking at the roses.
“He’s so sweet!!” said Beatrice Finely, half-Italian, half-British dark haired girl, picking one rose up and said aloud “I’m sorry for putting those bunny ears in your head in first year…”
“So it was him!!” said Lily picking the roses that were on the floor to put them on the bed “He’s going to pay…”
“Blimey! I didn’t know Potter could be so corny…my image of him will be forever broken…” said Hannah picking one up ‘I’m sorry for being so arrogant and pretend that I didn’t care’ “Bleh! This is nauseating…”
“He’s not corny!” said the other three.
“It is…but just a little” said Lily picking and reading. What will she do to reattribute such lovely gesture? How much money was he spending on this? No, she shouldn’t be thinking about that, she should just enjoy it!
“Ha! Look Lily! ‘I’m sorry for throwing that bludger at Hayes when he was going to make you his girlfriend at that Quidditch game in fourth grade’, he’s apologizing for everything!” Emily Scott said helping Lily pick them up.
“All right girls, I know is…’lovely’…but, you’re going to be late for class” said Hannah coming out of the bathroom on her uniform; a collective ‘AH!’ was heard from the girls.
More days went by and Lily still received flowers: on the morning mail, popping out of nowhere, on her school bag, kids from other grades delivered them and one day, near the 14th, a huge black dog leisurely walked out of the forbidden forest and stood in front of Lily with a basket full of roses.
“Lily, look! That huge dog is coming our way!” said Bea, completely terrified; the dog looked like The Grimm.
“What? Oh Si…snuffles!” said Lily looking at the dog; it was Sirius as ‘delivery boy’ “Yes I know him, don’t be scared, he’s harmless”
“He’s growling…” said Hannah looking suspiciously at the dog.
“Its alright.” spoke Lily patting the dog on the head and taking the basket with the other.
“Is cute, look how he wags his tail”
“Looks tame”
“Looks lame to me…” said Hannah, and the dog gave the girl a nasty glare. No one dared to call Sirius lame without facing the consequences, he would have revenge! And he barked aloud and set off running behind Hannah.
Lily sat on a bench, stared at the basket and thought of a conversation she heard. Two boys were talking about the brilliant plan Potter had accomplished and how successful it had been. So there, she now knew that all the ‘ignore-Lily’ thing was a plan he made, probably along with Sirius, to make her notice him…and she dumbly fell for it…but he would pay. Lily was suspecting that all this apology-flowers were to make her accept him, and of course she would, but he would have a taste of his own medicine. A laugh caught her attention and she saw Sirius on top of Hannah liking her face and waging his tail; it seemed that Sirius liked the girl.
And finally the oh-so-dreamed day came…on week day; the couples were giving flowers and chocolate to each other, walking hand-in-hand trough the grounds and making plans to go together on the next Hogsmeade weekend. A smiling and extremely happy James Potter was walking through the corridors to go to Ancient Runes class to pick Lily up, he was already done with his classes and that was the last class for Lily that glorious day. When she walked out, talking animatedly with Emily, a hand covered her mouth and a cloak her body, when she turned around James was grinning like an idiot and told her to follow him without a sound.
After walking while avoiding some students and teachers, they reached the room of requirement, and it was completely different this time. The walls were white and the furniture on red mahogany; there was table, prepared for supper, and two chairs near the chimney and the floor had a carpet of rose’s petals. James gestured to Lily to sit, when she did, James moved around his wand and a romantic tune started to play.
“You had it all planed out didn’t you?” she said looking at him with a dangerous smile.
“Excuse me?” his voice faltered a little because of that smile.
“Oh…nothing, don’t mind me.” Her expression became that of an angel, she just needed the halo and the wings and he loved it.
“Well then, I, with the help of the house elves, have prepared the most delicious supper you have ever eaten” he said all that showing the food, it smelled excellent and looked fabulous “ But fir-“
“Let’s eat then!” she said, intentionally, interrupting him.
They ate and talked and had a wonderful time and when they finished, the table with all the dishes and the chairs disappeared and a comfortable couch replaced them, what a useful room that was. He invited her to sit and he did the same, then she reclined on him, liking the warmth of his body and the fire on the chimney and he stiffened, the reaction she was looking for. Then, she started playing with his hand, intertwining their fingers while rubbing her nose on his neck seductively, she was freaking out, but she wouldn’t show it, she had to be very forward if she wanted to make him pay for that day on the train station.
James was sweating, she was so close and she smelled so good! He wanted to touch her red hair, kiss her pink lips and look into those mesmerizing green eyes of her, and when he moved to do all that, she planted a kiss on his neck while caressing his hair, and then looked into his hazel eyes, like she had read his mind! Her eyes were so full of passion that he felt like falling in love all over again so he launched to kiss her senseless but she stopped him and asked:
“What were you going to say before supper?” she wanted to laugh at the face he made, one of absolute frustration, she was being so mean, but he deserved it!
“What?...oh yes…uhm…” he said gaining his composure “Well…Lily you know I’ve been crazy for you since first year, and seeing that now that you don’t hate me anymore…wouldyouliketobemygirlfriend?” he spoke rapidly, feeling nervous, and visibly sweating…the poor thing. Lily wanted to hug him and no let go, and she felt quite bad for taking vengeance…that’s it ‘quite’ bad, not totally. She looked at him, he was expecting an answer, so she put her most truthful and sweet smile and said the so-waited:
“Yes…I didn’t understand quite much what you said, but I get the idea” she said laughing, and she felt like crying when she saw his face lifting up with happiness, his eyes were shining.
“Oh Lily!” he hugged and kissed her, and she didn’t resist this time.

A.N: There...all fluffy and pink…*goes to drink some lemon juice* Too much fluffiness for my liking. The apologies on the tags are not mine, I’m not that creative, they belong to one of my friends.
