Our Seventh Year

James had spent three days and three nights in the hospital wing, his friends had brought him all his homework, and Lily had visited him as many times as she could.

Finally, Wednesday night around eight Pomfrey said he was well enough to leave the hospital wing, but he would have to come for the next week to take a potion to avoid infection.

“Ready?” Lily asked him holding her hand out to him. She was glad he was able to leave the hospital wing, and most of his cuts had scabbed over. Pomfrey had cleared his face for him so he could open his eyes, but said it was best the rest healed naturally.

“More then,” James responded taking her hand. He still ached all over and Quidditch would be out of the question for a while, but he knew the team would be alright, he had put Sirius in charge while he was out.

Most of the school had heard what had happened, and Severus’ punishment was that he had detention, everyday with either McGonagall, Dumbledore, or Filch. He also was ordered to stay away from Lily as well as James, and James’ parents had yet to decide if they wanted to persecute it any further.

Sirius, Remus, and Peter had offered to come see him later on that night, giving James and Lily some well deserved alone time. Every time Lily, or anyone had gone to visit James, Pomfrey was on a constant vigil.

Lily decided to go to their private common room, it was more quiet, and no one would be there staring at them and asking questions. They made it into their common room, Lily had already set up the couch, enlarging it a bit so he could lay back and relax if he wanted, and added lots of pillows.

James had been laying down for the past three days, but he was still tired. “Wow,” he said walking over the couch and collapsing on it.

“Is it alright?” Lily asked him, climbing up next to him, kicking her shoes off, and wrapping a leg under herself.

“Perfect,” James said adjusting his head on a pillow a few times before he got comfortable. She was perfect, he already knew that, but this just confirmed it. After a second he patted the spot next to him. They still were not dating, he still was waiting until after the Halloween party tomorrow, being in the hospital wing for three days he was able finish planning everything with Sirius’ help.

Lily smiled, and crawled up next to him, putting her head on his chest. They might as well of been together the way they acted, but Lily had a feeling James had something up his sleeve because she would walk into the hospital and him and Sirius would have their heads together, talking quietly, and scribbling on paper, then when they saw her, they quickly packed the paper up, and pretended like nothing was happening.

After a second, Lily looked up at him, looking at his face in the firelight. “So are you still up for the dance tomorrow?” She asked him, honestly, it did not matter to her.

“Are you kidding?” He asked her with a laugh, “I have been looking forward to this since I asked you, there is no way I am going to pass it up.”

Lily smiled at him, then looked back down at his chest, “so is there anything else you would like to do beside lay around?” Lily asked him quietly, her hand drawing circles on his chest. She could feel the bumps from the healing scratches through the shirt, and Lily felt a pang of sadness for him.

He sat in silence looking at her as she curled next to him. “This,” James finally said smiling at her, his hand gently reached under her chin, the bruises from Severus’ hands had finally disappeared from under her chin, and they were almost gone from her wrist.

James placed a passionate kiss on Lily’s lips. He had been dying to do this ever since he had seen her struggling, and crying trying to get away from Snape. The problem was, Pomfrey was always around lingering over their shoulders, even when they were playing cards, or doing homework.

She kissed him back, moving her body up so her neck would not have to bend so far back. Lily was careful though not to put too much pressure on him, she knew he was very sore.

He pulled her up on top of him, ignoring the slight twinge of pain, James just wanted to feel and hold her. He had been deprived of that, and once he had a taste of it, he could not live without it.

Adjusting slightly, so her weight was not fully on his chest, Lily dared to deepen the kiss first, her hand running down his side, and to the hem of his shirt. She paused, waiting to see how he reacted. If he was uncomfortable, Lily would stay away from that for now.

James lifted himself up a bit, giving her the okay to remove his shirt, he could feel her timid hands shaking, and he helped her a bit with it.

Once the shirt was off, Lily just looked at him. Even if he was tall and skinny, he was muscular, not overwhelmingly so, but enough. His abs were prominent, and his arms were big. She knew it had to be from Quidditch. After she had taken that in, she looked at his cuts. They were scaring over, but Pomfrey said the scars would not be permanent.

He just watched Lily look him over, and stayed very still. James was a bit self conscious, but he knew that Lily would never judge him. Then he felt a very soft touch on one of his cuts, but instead of hurting like when Pomfrey touched them, it seemed to make the pain go away. He closed his eyes, letting Lily do what she wanted.

“I’m so sorry James,” Lily said tears stinging her eyes, they looked painful, and she could not imagine what it must have felt like when he was first injured.

“It is not your fault,” he said opening his eyes to look at her with a genuine smile. It really was not her fault, and he would go through it again if it meant keeping Lily safe. “I would do it again if I had to for you.”

Lily smiled at him, unsure of what to say, she had never felt so loved in her life. She leaned down to kiss him on the lips then moved over to his ear.

“Close your eyes,” she whispered, her hands tracing over his chest.

Shivers went down his spine as she whispered in his ear, but he obliged, his hand holding her back.

Lily moved to give him a very sensual kiss as she moved down a bit. She kissed his neck lightly, then to his collar bone, eventually trailing down to his chest. Very gently, she adjusted herself on him, and began to kiss each scratch as tenderly as she could.

He was not sure what she was doing, but he kissed her back, then took a sharp intake of breath when he felt the first kiss on his chest. His heart was pounding as the kisses continued to go lower and lower. It felt amazing, and she was beginning to turn him on, yet again.

“Lily,” he breathed quietly, his hand finding one of hers and holding it lightly. After a second, he could not take this teasing anymore. It felt amazing, each kiss sent a shock down his back and to his groin. He pulled on her arm slightly, so she was laying on him once again. He opened his eyes for a second, looking into hers before closing them again, pulling her into a hungry kiss.

She kissed him back with equal hunger, letting him explore her mouth. His arms were holding her fast to his body, and Lily loved it. Her legs moved slightly to straddled his hips, and she pushed down on him a bit, slowly moving her own hips in a circle.

James groin immediately responded to her movements, and he could feel himself getting instantly hard. He pushed his hips up into hers groaning a bit. His hands wandered to her half naked legs, and slightly up under her skirt, pulling her hips down on him even more.

Lily kissed him hard, her hands behind his neck. She wanted him, and now. Lily knew that he was the one, there was no way around it, but she could not give in yet. She wanted to wait until they were at least dating, but it did not mean they could not mess around first.

He moaned loudly, the friction felt amazing, but he wanted a little more then last time. Slowly his hands went down her back, and grabbed the hem of her shirt. He tugged up slightly, letting her know what he wanted, but stopped waiting on approval.

Without second guessing, Lily sat up a bit so he could get it off, once it was down her mid arms, she tossed it to the floor. She looked at him observing her body, his chest heaving. She could feel a blush arise on her cheeks, but did not move right away. Lily liked the way he looked at her, even if she was embarrassed.

“You are beautiful Lily,” he said looking at her. She had a pretty flat stomach from running, but it was not perfectly flat, which he was happy about. He swore girls who had flat stomachs used magic to get them that way, they looked unnatural. Her chest fit her perfectly, and her breasts were tight against her white bra, they were not too big, nor small, they fit her body perfectly.

James pulled her back down for a kiss, the skin on skin contact was amazing. Her skin was soft and creamy compared to his, and her small frame fit his body perfectly.

Lily continued to move her hips on his as she felt his hand wander to her chest. He gently took one breast, outside her bra into his hand, and looked at her eyes. She was panting, but nodded for him to continue, one step further, it would be the furthest she had ever gone.

His other hand was sliding up and down her thigh, his nails scratching every once in a while. He was being very gentle with her, and did not press to move any further, the next move would be hers alone.

“James,” she moaned slightly, Lily wanted more. Her hands grabbed both of his, and placed them on her back at he bra clasp. She bent her body down, and kissed his neck waiting for him to move.

He was surprised, but did not stop. Slowly he undid the clasp, and pushed the straps off of her shoulders. Before he looked though, he kissed her shoulder and whispered in her ear. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” Lily panted back, sitting up and removing the bra. It was official, this had been the furthest she had been with a boy, but she was very glad it was with James.

His eyes opened a bit wider taking in the sight before him. There was Lily Evans sitting in his lap, half naked. She was so beautiful it almost hurt. James’ hand ran up and down her back, before he sat up to meet her.

Lily wrapped her legs around him, she was very excited, and she could feel it. She pushed her hips down on his hard, moaning again, and throwing her head back slightly.

James took this opportunity to kiss her neck, his hand grabbing one of her breasts as he gently played with one of her nipples. Her moaning almost sent him over the edge as they continued.

Lily never felt anything like this, she leaned back to give him more room, one hand on the back of the couch. She opened her eyes to peer at him as he slowly moved his kiss to the tops of her breasts.

He licked his lips slightly, one hand going behind her back to hold her up, the other pinching her lightly. He had been with a girl like this before, but she did not turn him on nearly as much as Lily did. After her eyes were closer, he flicked his tongue over her other nipple before taking it into his mouth.

Her eyes flew open with a gasp looking down at him. She pushed down hard on him “oh my God James,” she groaned. Just watching him do this was hot enough.

He moved to her other breast, switching it up a bit. James knew he would have to stop soon, or he did not know what else would happen.

Lily’s hand fell between their hips, her fingers tracing over his hardness. She could feel him breath deep, and she rubbed him hard with her hand. She knew that it would create more friction then just grinding down on him.

James groaned as she did this. He moved away from her breasts and kissed her hard, both hands on her back holding her close to him.

Lily stopped what she was doing, and kissed him back. She felt him let go of her with one arm as he lowered them back down on the couch.

They were both panting loudly, sweaty, and their hearts were pounding. He wanted to tell her he loved her badly, but he knew it would be too soon, even if it was the truth.

The fire crackled quietly, and both of their breathing began to return to normal. Lily did not want to leave his side to go to bed, so she did not make to move. “Can I stay with you,” she said barely audible as she looked up at his eyes.

“Of course love,” James said kissing her forehead lightly.

Lily set her wand as an alarm to wake them both up in time for classes, while James grabbed the blanket on the back of the couch, covering them, and slowly both of them drifted off to sleep.

Around midnight, Sirius said the password to enter the Head boy and girl common room. When he walked in though, he saw a shirt and bra on the floor. He looked around the couch and saw Lily curled up on James’ chest, and they were both under the blankets. Just as quietly as he came he left, happy for his best mate.
