Breathless
Chapter III – Let the games begin!
Te digo que he visto una cosa más bella que tu mirar
Te digo que he visto la luna de noche hablar con el mar
Pero jamás he visto una cosa más bella que tu mirar
Y es que son tus ojos t u sonrisa y t u boca
Y t u carita de coqueta a la final lo que me gusta a mí
Y soy yo quien se pone siempre como un loco
Cuando me miras poco a poco de la manera que me gusta a mí
- Juanes
I tell you I’ve never seen a thing more beautiful than your gaze
I tell you I’ve seen the moon speak with the sea
But I have ever seen a thing more beautiful than your gaze
And is just your eyes, your smile and your mouth
And your flirtatious face is what I like in the end
And it’s me the one that gets crazy
When you gaze at me little by little the way I like
- Juanes
Cloud number 9 never looked so nice, angels talking among them, little cherubs singing songs and fluttering about the place…oh yes, life could be so beautiful. Saying that James was happy is the understatement of the century; here he was with the girl of his dreams in his arms, feeling her sweet lips on his, caressing her soft red hair, this was heaven, and it was great.
“Oh Lily!” he hugged and kissed her, she didn’t resist this time; but when he was about to deepen the kiss, she broke away to talk.
“We should go, it’s getting late” she smiled when he groaned in annoyance.
“Just a little bit, the common room will be full of people, let’s stay here a couple of hours” he said grazing her lips, that simple touch sent shivers up and down her spine, but she couldn’t give in, she had to be strong!
“Ja-James…we can’t, there are classes tomorrow…” ‘You have to be strong, block that feeling, be strong Lily, come on!’ She thought while he planted little kisses down her neck, how vile he was! But she would be even viler! She would tease him until he begged her for more…’hmmm; these thoughts are not helping at all!’
“Lily…”
“OK!” she stood up abruptly making him kiss the cushion “W-We…I…have to leave, I’ve got homework to do!” James had difficulty to distinguish between her hair and her face, they both were red ‘So it’s working’ he thought to himself with a smirk on his lips.
“Alright, if you so insist…” he stood and offered her his arm, she looked at him sceptical “I won’t bite…hard” the smirk became a grin
“Shut-up” she said taking his arm, a playful smile on her swollen lips.
When they entered the common room fourteen pair of eyes were laid upon them, each face with a stupid, or in Sirius and Remus’ cases, a knowing smile. Every look meant ‘so? What happened?’, but neither said a thing; they just walked past their friends said good-night at the end of the stairs and went up to their respective dorms, to wait for the interrogation…which came soon after. Lily’s friends came barging into the room making a lot of noise and laughing, or in Emily’s case, giggling madly…she had a weird thing for giggling…don’t ask. In the boy’s dorm the situation was the absolute opposite.
“Remus, our kid is growing so fast…” said Sirius wiping a fake tear out of his eye.
“Indeed, I still remember the times we saw him daydreaming about her like it was yesterday…”
“It was!” said Peter, looking at his friends like if they were nuts.
“Yes, you’re right!” said Remus, smiling broadly.
“Oh shut-up! You’re just jealous because I’ve the girl of my dreams” said James throwing himself on his bed, hands behind his head, legs crossed and a dreamy look in his hazel eyes.
“So, how’s it feels to be an ‘unavailable man’?” asked Sirius, that was the only way he would know what it felt, he’s not a man for commitment, he liked his freedom, thank you very much.
“So he finally did it, huh?” asked Colleen, not too exited…but she never liked James that much anyway.
“I thought we were going to die of old waiting for him to do it, Lil, thank God he did it!” said Hannah hugging her friend, she was so happy for her and James.
“Don’t be mean!” said Beatrice smacking Hannah on the arm while Emily just giggled.
“Guys…I need your help in something”
“What don’t tell me you don’t know how to kiss?” said Hannah with an amused look on her pretty face.
“It’s not that! I need you to tell me how to be... bold, a little shameless, I want to tease him!” said Lily knees on her bed and an exited look on her face.
“Who are you and what did you do with Lily?” Emily said, finally stopping giggling. They laughed and Lily told them about James’ plan and how he succeeded.
“I knew he was no good! That filthy, little...” Colleen murmured furrowing her brow.
“Hey! I know it was a little low what he did but, come on, he’s been chasing you since first year and you always said no, he was desperate!”
“Hannah’s right, you’ve been a total ass to him” said Emily, when she isn’t giggling like an idiot, she could be very smart.
“Ok, Lily, now that that’s said” said Bea standing in front of Lily, a very serious...(pardon me, I just love that joke XD)...look on her face “Let’s get down to business”
The next day Lily came down to the Great Hall for breakfast chatting with her friends, she spotted James and went to sit with him, and the Marauders, waving good-bye to the girls. She sat hearing them talk, planning a prank, and started eating while thinking about the recommendations the girls gave her ‘bat your eyelashes, wear your skirt a little shorter, play with your food, eat seductively, lick your spoon and look him in the eyes while you do it...’ and so on and so forth. She noticed he was looking at her and she applied tactic nº 1: The Licking of the Spoon.
While eating some pumpkin pie she started the operation, she took a piece with her spoon and put it on her mouth in a very seductive way looking at him all the time, making James to stare with his mouth open and gulping down the lump that formed on his throat.
“James, mate?” Sirius said looking at his friend with worry; James was sweating by now, and then looked in the direction his mate was looking and hung his mouth open “...sweet Merlin...”
“Wha...t...?” said Remus looking too at Lily. She was trying desperately not to fret by the attention given by the other Marauders, but she kept her cool and continued eating her pie and licking her spoon.
“She’s a genius!” murmured Hannah looking at the spectacle with a huge grin.
“She’s bloody brilliant!” said Bea in the same way, she felt so proud of little Lily.
“The other two are idiot-looking too! This is awesome!” said Emily giggling yet again.
“I don’t see what you find so amusing...you’re all stupid, I swear...” they threw dirty looks at Colleen.
After all that James had difficulty to pay attention in class, all he could think of was Lily liking the spoon. Dear God, how sexy she looked! He wanted to get up on the table and kiss her senseless there and then, but he just couldn’t move, he was petrified. ‘Dear Merlin, what is she doing to me?’ He was looking out into space and didn’t notice when the Arithmancy professor spoke to him, ducked points for not paying attention and even gave him detention. After that class, he saw her walking alone to Charms. ‘Why is she alone? Where are her friends?’ When he was about to approach her and ask, he saw her reaction when Colleen walked past her. Lily stood there stunned with a shocked expression. He approached her now and saw she had tears forming on her almond shaped eyes; he chose not to say anything and gave a reassuring smile. ‘She’ll tell me when she’s ready...I hope’
Lily was lost in thought, what was wrong with Colleen? She’d never done that before, something was wrong and she would find out what! Maybe she could ask the Marauders for help. She looked at her right to see James staring at her with a worried look; she then smiled at him ‘How cute, he’s worried about me’ Finally the class ended and it was time for lunch, they entered the Great Hall and seated themselves on their usual spots on the table, but this time the Marauders in front of the four girls, Colleen seated herself in the Slytherin table...with her boyfriend.
“What in the bloody Hell is that?!” Sirius asked the question every Gryffindor was thinking.
“It took us for surprise this morning too, she told us during breakfast,” Said Bea playing with her food, she had lost her appetite.
“Has...has she told you anything Lily?” asked Emily very worried. Lily took her time to answer, she knew that if she told them what Colleen had said, they would overreact; she though it for some minutes and then answered reluctantly, they would find out eventually anyway.
“She...called me filthy mud-blood...” said Lily looking at her empty plate. As expected they all roared, insults were said and a couple of nasty words Lily had never heard before, it was amazing how big Sirius and James vocabulary was “Relax! Is not a big deal, I’m used to the insults, it doesn’t hurt me anymore...”
“But she was your friend! How could she?!” said James looking at Lily as if she was crazy.
“Look I’m not going to deny it hurts me SHE said that, but she’s been weird lately, I kind of...expected it” said Lily looking at them. It was true it was a shock, but she smelled something fishy was happening with Colleen.
The conversation died at that for the afternoon classes were about to begin; during them Lily found it quite easy to pay attention, the situation bothered her of course, but she was used to changes on people’s behaviour, living in the world they were living, it was a matter of time for those people to turn to the dark side or stay in the good and Lily knew she was nobody to judge them. Lily just hoped she wouldn’t have to hex her if Colleen and her boyfriend’s cronies attacked her.
Days passed and the situation became bearable so James and Lily followed with their plans. James, being cool and collected, even shy and Lily was acting bold. She tried Tactic Number 2: The Battling of the Eyelashes...but he thought she had something on her eye, then she tried with Tactic Number 3: The shortness of the skirt, his eyes almost bulged out of his sockets.
“Good Merlin, Miss Evans! What are you wearing?!” asked Professor McGonagall with a concerned look on her face.
“It’s alright Professor, she’s not doing us any harm!” said a boy from Ravenclaw who was very pleased with the display of ‘meat’. James took one moment from staring to give the boy a death glare.
“Sorry Professor is just that my skirt shrank and it seems the resizing charm doesn’t work” said Lily with the most chast an innocent look any human or animal had seen; she was a good actress. That sole look caused a general gasp from the male population…the large eyes, the pouting lips; every boy was staring with longing while James wanted to hex them to oblivion for looking at his flower in such a way.
“Well then, for the time being that’ll do, but when this class ends I want you to go to you room and change that...little piece of clothe! And all of you show some respect or I’m going to duck points for every of you!” to say that McGonagall was displeased with the boys on her class was understandable, they were looking without any remorse; eyes wide, mouths open, one could almost see the drool hanging out.
After Transfiguration Lily went to the bathrooms with the girls, they all laughed or giggled by her genius act; Hannah praised her like some sort of Goddess and Bea claimed that, if they were in North America, Lily would have won an Oscar. Of course Hannah and Emily didn’t understand what Bea was talking about; the only muggle-borns were Lily and herself. The next period passed without much excitement, just some boys looked at her with idiotic grins, but one in particular received a little punishment. They guy in question went a little too much farther than the others, saying some nasty and explicit things to Lily...but Super James was there to rescue her! Let’s just say that now ‘the guy’ has a broken nose and a swollen eye...and James has detention, isn’t life lovely?
Days later, and ‘the incident’ almost forgotten, James and Lily were preparing to go back to their common room after a Prefect’s meeting, writing the things that were said for Dumbledore. Lily was writing while James stared at her and she was feeling uncomfortable, he made her blush when he did that and he enjoyed it.
“What?” said Lily, trying to sound casual.
“Nothing, is just that you look so serious when you’re concentrated, always with a frown”
“Yes, well, I like things to be perfectly done...” she answered not looking away from the parchment.
“But frowns doesn’t suit you, Lily” at this she looked at him “You look gorgeous when you wear a smile” she blushed and her throat constricted, how could he make her feel so small and yet powerful just with one look?
In that instant she remembered the first time she saw him and what she thought: ‘that kid has amazing eyes’. She was mesmerized by his eyes, his ruffled hair and that easy-going personality, but he had to open his mouth...and she hated him. But then he changed or maybe he was always this caring and nice? And that’s when she figured it out: all she had to do was get to know him. At the end of sixth year she had a crush, at the beginning of the seventh she had an infatuation...and now she was falling for him; it all downed on her like a shower, she always liked him, since the beginning but she refused to even think about it, it was there all this time, but her pride didn’t let her realize. What surprised her most was the way he carried his heart on his sleeve...for her to see and take it if she wanted, and now she would.
“Thank you” she said with a truthful smile, making him blush “I’m done, should we start our rounds for the night?” he looked at her gathering all the parchments, ink and quills and stood up to help her.
“Well then, let’s go!” he said grinning beautifully.
They walked through the empty halls, it seemed nobody wanted to lurk or take a stroll, it was comprehensible for fifth and seventh years, the O.W.L’s and N.E.W.T’s were approaching rapidly. Not a sound was made, the love-birds walked in a comfortable silence until...Lily’s brain started clicking, she had to do something, tactics one and three worked perfectly, but she needed more, then the light bulb on her head turned on.
Ever so slightly, Lily took James’ hand with one of hers, and with the free one started to caress his arm, he had his sleeves rolled up, making him look down at her. Lily just smiled a mischievous smile and dragged him to the back of a statue; first he grinned and then proceeded to snog her but, again, she took a step back and looked directly into his hazel eyes, then she approached, almost timidly, and began kissing his neck, his ear...he was enjoying this so much but when he heard a twinkle all his alerts turned up.
“L-Lily...we should...b-be going...Mis-“
“Shhhhh” was all she said while planting little kisses down his neck.
“Lily...don’t...” he breathed wanting to go on, but fearing the Caretaker would catch them.
“What, you don’t like this?” she asked with a hurt and sad expression, she even had little tears on her eyes! ...she was good!
“NO!” he yelled, then put a hand on his own mouth “...no, it’s not that, I just heard something, it might be the Caretaker, he can’t see us making out!” he murmured, he was really worried. What, in the name of Merlin, was happening with Lily?! He supposed she was the brains in the relationship, and now she was acting...like a Marauder! Whit this discovering, he didn’t know if he should laugh or cry, such fate the boy had...
