Our Seventh Year

They spent most of their night outside on the hammock talking about anything that they could think of. Lily told James many stories of her childhood, about her and Petunia, how they used to get along until she found out she was a witch, and was going to Hogwarts. James shared stories as well about all the mischief him and his friends caused, and things he did what he was younger.

Around ten thirty James’ mother returned home, she popped her head out to say goodnight, then retreated up the stairs. Lily saw her light in the room flick on, then a few minutes later it went off again.

“She will be out for the rest of the night,” James said as he looked up at the stars. “Nothing wakes her, it was always my dad coming to my side when I had nightmares as kid.” He rubbed her arm lightly, then pulled her closer to him so she was on her side with her head on his chest on the hammock.

The night was cool, and James adjusted the blanket they had brought out over them. Lily enjoyed this hammock more than the one she had at home, since it kept swinging, you did not have to do anything to keep it going.

Even with the blanket, it was still cold, and James could feel Lily shivering a bit, though she would never admit it. “Let’s head inside. It’s getting pretty late, and we have been up since seven.”

Nodding in agreement, Lily rose from the hammock, folding up the blanket, taking his hand once again as they headed inside. James grabbed the blanket from her, and tossed it on a bench in the kitchen before going upstairs for bed.

“I’ll meet you in your room in one second,” James said turning to his own to find her some pajamas.

Lily took a seat on her bed, taking her wand from her pocket, placing it on the nightstand, then removed her shoes and socks waiting on James to return.

“Here,” James said giving her one of his old practice shirts from Quidditch, it was maroon, and on the back in big yellow letters was his last name. The pants he gave her were also maroon, but were flannel. “I’ll let you change,” he said retreating back to the hall, half shutting the door behind him.

Quickly, Lily stripped down to her underwear, and pulled on his clothes. They smelled just like him, even if they had been in his dresser draws for a few months untouched. She folded up her clothes, and opened a draw placing them inside.

“Okay,” Lily called to him, and opened the door. He smiled walking back in, he had yet to change, but she figured he wanted to let her get to bed, not wanting to keep her.

Lily turned back around to the room, and James had a burst of butterflies again as he saw his name on his shirt, on her. Even in pajamas’ Lily was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. He knew, like he had always known, that Lily was the one for him, even if she did not know it yet.

Lily turned down the sheets, then turned to face him, “so I will see you in the morning?” She asked him a big longingly. Truth was, she wanted to be with him tonight, to have him tonight, but she knew that was out of the question.

“Yes, I will get you up bright and early, don’t you worry,” James replied with a smile before kissing her, his hands going to her back to pull her closer.

Lily returned the kiss, holding him tightly before letting go as he pulled back.

“Good night,” James said, and Lily said the same.

Once he had left and shut the door, Lily climbed into bed and the lights went out. Magic definitely surpassed muggle living. Settling down, Lily rolled over, adjusting the pillows before drifting off to sleep.
 
Once James left Lily’s room he returned to his own, changing into his pajamas, then brushing his teeth. He sat thinking to himself, he was not sure if he had heard that certain tone in Lily’s voice or not, but he tried to ignore it.

He climbed into bed, rolling over as the lights flickered out in his room. The moon shone brightly into his room, it was half full. Tossing and turning, James finally fell asleep around midnight, with Lily on his mind the whole time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around two James awoke with a start, not sure what from, but he could not get back to sleep. He had obviously dreamt, because he could feel that he was slightly aroused. After contemplating for about fifteen minutes, he could not take it anymore. He wanted Lily.

Quietly, James rolled out of bed, then crept down the hall. His mother had the radio on like every night, but he knew she was asleep, there was no danger of them being caught. James opened the door just a hair, hearing Lily’s deep breathing of sleep. He hated to wake her up, maybe he would just kiss her again, then go back to bed.

She was facing towards the door, her body relaxed in it’s slumber. She had one arm around a pillow as if cuddling with it. James smiled at her, enjoying watching her sleep, though if she woke up, it was definitely be awkward. Gently, he placed a kiss on her forehead, running his hand through her hair.

Lily felt the kiss and the touch, though she was still half asleep, “w-what? What is it?” she mumbled opening her eyes to see James in the moonlight. “Is everything okay?” Lily asked groggily.

“Everything is fine love,” James said his hand on her cheek. She was very warm to the touch, since she had been buried under the sheets. “I just came to see you, sorry I woke you.”

“No, it’s fine,” Lily said looking at him with a small smile playing on her lips, it was all she could muster. “What time is it?” She asked looking around for a clock.

“About two thirty, I’ll let you get back to sleep,” James said moving to stand up.

“No, no stay,” Lily said sitting up a bit in the bed, then moving over to pat the spot next to her for him to take a seat. “Unless you think your mother will wake up.”

“Like I said, she sleeps like a log,” James said with a smile, moving up next to her, slipping his feet under the sheets. There was no way he could stay all night, but he could stay for a while, otherwise his mom would catch them.

“So were you unable to sleep?” Lily asked him as she cuddled closer to him, placing her head on his shoulder, an arm snaking around his stomach to his back.

“I did manage to get to sleep, but I woke up around two unable to get back to sleep once again,” James said his arm going around her shoulder.

“Oh,” Lily said turning her head to look up at him. She was still a bit groggy, but she was more awake then before. Her fingers were tracing up and down his side as she looked at him in the moonlight. His hair was sticking up all over the place, and he had a bit of stubble on his face.

“Mm, I kept thinking about you,” James said unashamed as he looked down at her once again. He kissed her very lightly since her face was that close.

“Really?” Lily asked smirking a bit up at him, returning the kiss.

“Yes,” James replied, “of course, who else would I be thinking about?”

Lily leaned up to kiss him, pushing up against him a bit harder. Now that he was here, she was not going to pass up this opportunity.

James raised his eyebrows slightly in the kiss, but did not fight back. He did not think she would go for this, but he was not going to push her away. He wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her onto his lap, so she was straddling him.

Lily pushed her hips hard into his grinding a bit, she could already feel his arousal between her legs, and she bit lightly at his bottom lip. Her hands grabbed his shirt, ripping it quickly off his head, dropping it down next to them on the bed.

He kissed her hard, his hands roaming her body, he pushed his hips back into hers. He paused, pulling away from the kiss removing her shirt as well, then her bra, wanting to strip her as fast as possible. “Lay down,” he said in a husky voice.

Doing as he said, Lily laid on her back on the bed, her chest heaving already. She was nervous his mother would come in, but that risk turned her on even more, as strange as that was.

James climbed on top of her, kissing her neck, then moving to her breasts, taking one into his mouth. His hands moved to her pants, and he pulled those off, and the knickers as well in one swift movement.

Groaning, Lily fisted his hair, kicking off a pant leg that had still clung to her foot. Opening her eyes, she could see James head on her, and it caused her to groan again, but she bit her lip to keep it in as best as possible.

Slowly, James moved down her stomach, his tongue flicking over her navel before moving further down to kiss by her hips. He knew he was being a tease, but he did not care. Watching her squirm under his touch was tantalizing.

“James,” Lily breathed pushing her hips, wanting what was next. She hated, but loved the tease. Finally she felt one of his hands slide slowly between her legs, and over her slit. Bucking her hips a bit, James obliged, and pushed a finger inside of her.

He decided to move a bit faster, adding another finger before pumping them in and out of herm in response, Lily’s body arched on the bed, casting shadows on the wall. After a second, he pushed her legs open a bit wider, and then moved his head, taking her into his mouth.

Lily’s eyes flew open to look down at him as she bit her lip. Pleasure was popping up all over her body, and she could hardly keep from squirming.

He nipped at her lightly, before moving his head back up. James removed his pants and boxers in a swift motion, keeping his eyes on Lily the whole time. He positioned himself between her legs, his hands grabbing her hips to adjust her.

After a second, Lily wrapped her legs around James’ hips pulling him closer. She could feel him at her entrance. Whimpering a bit, she bit her lip looking up at him. It was going to hurt, but Lily wanted it.

Not having to be told twice, James pushed into Lily slowly, moaning as he did so. If only he was of age to use magic, then he could cast a silencing charm on the room. Pushing in as far as he could, he pulled back out and went back in again.

There was definitely still pain there, but this time pleasure was outdoing it. Arching her back once again, Lily wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down on top of her. She bit his ear pretty hard, and she heard him gasp a bit. “Sor-“ Lily tried to get out, but James silenced her with a shh.

James began to move faster, he could tell Lily was more comfortable now, and if he hurt her, he knew she would tell him. The bed creaked quietly under him, they were very lucky his mother had the radio on, or James knew this would eventually wake her up.

Lily dug her nails into his back, scratching him, knowing she was going to leave a mark, but James just groaned in her ear, and she knew it wasn’t from pain. Panting now, Lily said his name.

“Lils,” James said in a raspy voice as he thrust back into her hard. His hands began to wander up her sides, and back to her chest again. One hand grabbed her breast, the other tickled her side. He could feel that tightening feeling in the pit of his stomach, but he did not want it to end yet. “Get on top,” he said to her, pulling his head back to read her face.

She nodded curtly, they had never done it this way before, but she was willing to try it. James pulled out of her, and rolled on his back next to her. He could see her beginning to get self-conscious, so he stopped her before she could, “your gorgeous love,” James said looking over her body.

Smiling, Lily threw a leg over him, adjusting herself. Biting her lip, Lily lowered herself down on him. This was a different feeling, there was more pressure than the other way, but she was enjoying it.

James gripped her hips hard, helping her move ontop of him. Holding them down he moved them back and forth on him, moaning at the friction, and just the look of her on top of him.

Lily bit her lip, putting her hands on his chest to keep her balance. He was hitting a certain spot, that made it so hard to keep from crying out. She could feel herself on the verge of coming, and knew that this was going to be the true test of how heavy a sleeper James’ mom really was. There was no way she was going to be able to suppress this, and Lily cried out in pleasure, shoving one hand into her mouth.

Unable to hold back anymore, James came right after Lily, his eyes closing tightly as he came, pulling her down hard on him for his release. Opening his eyes afterwards, he saw Lily slumped over a bit, still on top of him breathing hard.

“You -- alright love?” James said trying to catch his breath, his hand moving up to push the hair out of her face.

“Yes,” Lily said looking up at him with a smile, though she was still breathing heavily. She adjusted to move off of him, before falling down on the bed next to him with a happy sigh.

James wrapped an arm around her, “that was amazing,” he said rubbing her back gently.

“Mhmm,” Lily said her eyes shut still as she held onto him. She knew that he would have to leave soon, so she was enjoying the moment.

He risked staying for another hour, but at four, James knew he had to leave. His mother always woke early, and he wanted to try to get some sleep. James grabbed his clothes, getting dressed, and Lily groggily pulled on the shirt, leaving the rest at the foot of the bed before crawling under the blankets.

“Sleep well love,” James said kissing her forehead before he slipped out and down to his room.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily woke up at eleven the next morning to loud banging, and a curse erupt from James’ voice. Rubbing her eyes, Lily grabbed for the pajama bottoms from last night, but found a small sack on the floor by the dresser. Raising an eyebrow, she moved to open it to find a pair of tan slacks, and a red shirt, as well as underwear. She sincerely hoped that McGonagall or one of her friends packed her bag, otherwise that would be embarrassing.

She finished getting dressed, and found her tooth brush. Since the only bathroom she had found and used last night was James, she wandered down to his room. He was obviously up, since his bed sheets were tossed aside, and she had heard him downstairs.

Once completely ready, her hair in a pony tail, and a touch of makeup on her face. Descending the stairs, Lily found James moving furniture around, with one finger in his mouth.

“’ey ‘ove,” James said, his index finger in his mouth. “’oody ‘able land’d on my ‘inger,” he said indicating the finger in his mouth.

Laughing, Lily moved to help him with the couch.

“Where’s your mum?” She asked looking around the room.

“She went to get dad,” James said brushing off his robes. “He will be staying down here, since it is easier than going up the stairs, and of course I can’t do magic for another four months so…”

“Have you eaten?” Lily asked him, and he shook his head no.

“Let’s go find something,” she replied walking into the kitchen with him in tow. Being brought up a muggle, she knew how to cook without magic.

Lily made eggs, bacon, and toast, amazing James with her skill, which was not much. What she made had to be the easiest thing in the world.

At noon, James mother and father returned, and James helped him down on the couch. After dinner, her and James would be returning to the castle. For the rest of the day, James and Lily were outdoors, walking around his yard, and even up into the mountains.

Eight thirty came, and it was time for them to leave. James mother invited Lily to come for thanksgiving, and thanking her, they were off by floo powder to the castle.

Lily landed hard once again in Dumbledore’s office, but James caught her once again. Hardly stirring, Dumbledore said hello, and they headed back to their rooms.
