Post by Lily Potter on Nov 12, 2008 2:27:23 GMT -5
three little monkeys . Lily rolled out of bed and hit the hard wodden floor which was very cold. She lay on the cold hard floor for a couple of minutes and stared at the ceiling. It was going to be another slow day, Lily could just see it now. The past wek had been very slow and it's felt like a month has past...but it hasn't. Maybe it was because she knew the end of the term was approaching fast and she wasn't in any view of moving onto sixth years. Then again that'd be a good thing in some aspects. She'd be in the same classes with most of her friends. She did afterall have more friend that were a year younger than her. Lily let out a laugh and slowly got up while groaning. She stood up and rubbed her butt. She had landed on it and it hurt a bit, but she'd probably get over it.
Lily walked over to the window rubbing her eyes as she walked over to it. It was a very cloudy day and without the sun shining it looked like it was early in the morning. The gryffindor let out a big sigh and brushed her hair out of her face. She went over to her closet and stood there debating on what she should wear today. Lily pulled out a white and turquoise striped long sleeve out along with jeans that had holes in the knees. They weren't her favorite pair of jeans, but it would do for today. She wandered over to the bathroom and combed through her hair and looked into the mirror. She quickly found two rubber bands and tied her hair into loose braids. It looked like she made no effort into the braids, but in some ways it looked kind of cool. She'd have to try this again sometime during school.
She went back out into the room and shoved her feet into socks and slipped her feet into shoes that looked like slippers, but really weren't. They were Lily's most comfortable pair of shoes and she would wear them everyday, but she couldn't with the school uniform. Lily took a glance out the window and it looked a bit windy outside and turned back to her closet. She dug around the bottom of her closet and found a hat and a hooded purple sweatshirt. She pulled on the sweatshirt and then stuck her head into the white hat. She was now set for the dreary day.
She walked through the castle of Hogwarts and yawned a couple of times on her way outside to the grounds. She pushed open the heavy doors to that lead to the grounds and its view spread out before her. A gust of wind blew against her and a shiver went down Lily's spine. It's a good thing she put on her sweatshirt on at the last minute because it was cold out. She slowly walked out into the grass and scanned the area. Most people were probably inside right now enjoying the warmth, but Lily needed a change of scenary. After being here for five years, she needed to change up her life. She'd done everything possible to do at Hogwarts and had gone to every place possible and things needed to change. She'd have to think of another goal next year. Her newest goal had worked out a bit, but she was quite satisfied with it yet. There were many people within Hogwarts and she wasn't even close. Of course she'd have to focus a bit more on her education if she wants to get to her sixth year by the end of the next term. Lily sighed and saw a puff of fog come out of her mouth. She shook her head and walked over to the Oak Tree, whose leaves were slowly falling to the ground, one by one.
She now stood next to the trunk of the tree and started to climb up the tree. Lily had some memmories climbing trees and remembered the freedom and accomplishment she felt when she got high enough to see her whole neighborhood. It was a great feeling and Lily wanted to feel that again. She climbed as high as she dared and when she got comfortable sitting on a thick branch and leanring against another not so thick branch, so looked across the grounds of Hogwarts and felt more relaxed and stared out onto the grounds, letting her mind wander to where ever.

Laniee rubbed her eyes a few times, before rolling over in bed, her arm hitting something hard as she did. Slightly confused to what was attacking her arm, the Ravenclaw realised she had fallen asleep studying again, her large Charms textbook still open on her bed, the corner digging into her side. Moaning, Lanica, pushed it off the bed and rolled over the other way, nearly letting sleep take her away again, but sitting bolt upright before it had the chance. Jumping out of her bad and running to the window, Laniee groaned, she had missed her favourite and most provite time of day, sunrise by the lake.
Shaking her head at she continued to stare out the window, Laniee realised she was freezing and turned to grab a jumper, before deciding to change into her every day clothes. Stripping off, she tossed through her trunk, quiestly as to not wake the other sleeping Ravenclaws, she picked out her warmest jeans and a simple black hoodie. After Laniee had dressed quickly, she looked at her camera sadly, but decided to bring it anyway, she could still get some good shots in this morning.
The Ravenclaw was a blur of black and blue as she rushed through the castle, not wanting to miss the morning light. Stepping down the stairs into the grounds, she paused, raising her camera to eye level, click, a perfect photo of the clouded sky as the sun tried to overcome the ongoing battle of a nice day or overcast.
Soon she was by her favourite Oak tree, alone, to watch as the day rolled in. Lanica closed her eyes as she sat down, feeling the freedom of the lake as the wind swept her unbrushed hair into her face.

Al had been walking to his favorite spot by the lake when he spotted Lanica. He grinned to himself, looked around making sure no one was around. And he ruffled his hair and put his hands in his pockets and walked up to her. "Can i join you?" he asked her looking down at where she sat.

[oh oh that's such a good idea. lily can catch Al and Laniee flirting! haha anyway...] Laniee had not been sitting down long before her favourite of the Potters could be seen heading towards her. Something about Al made Laniee's stomach knot and her throat become dry. "Hey." She said cooly, looking the boy up and down before he sat. "If you want..." Lanica wanted him to join her, and badly, but she would keep her cool. Play hard to get. That was who the Ravenclaw was.
Smiling, she looked away from the boy to her camera then up to the mostly grey sky. It was still rather early. What was it with Potter's and being up at the crack of dawn? Laniee always felt she was the only one up at this time. "What are you doing up so early?" She asked rather too politely for a question directed to a Potter. The girl continued to look up at the sky, but a slight smirk came to her face as she waited for the boy's reply. [/size]

Albus smiled towards her emotions welling up inside him. But he knew he had to keep his head on and he sat down next to her about an inch apart. "Well i had to get up this morning to feed the hippogriffs so i thought i'd come to the lake to relax." he said indifferently. And he glanced sideways at her and smiled then he turned his attention back to the lake.

Smiling awkwardly, she nodded. Laniee hated Hippogriffs after what happened to her father while he was still in school. They freaked her out. "I hate Hippogriffs." The girls muttered. "Trust a Potter to look after them." She laughed and looked at Albus. The strange thing was, she didn't mean what she said in a mean way, she meant it as a friendly joke. Laniee hoped he hadn't picked up on her moment of weakness. [/size]

Al laughed his dad had told him about what happened to Draco in his third year here. He grinned at Lancia, but then he noticed something. He was really looking at her, for the first time. He never knew how beautiful she was because he never looked at her without a scowl on his face because she was a malfoy. He inched alitlle closer to her face, his heart racing but he pulled back suddenly and looked out over the lake scolding himself. "Hippogriffs aren't that bad once you gain their trust and love..." he said not even sure he was talking about the hippogriffs anymore. But he didn't look at her his gaze was on the lake and he didn't dare move it.

Laniee's heart skipped a beat. Had Al just inched towards her? No, it must've been her imagination. When he told her about Hippogriffs, Laniee couldn't help but laugh, "they sound like me," she told him, laughing to herself as she continued to look out onto the lake. She was often horrible to people until they had her trust...And love.
Looking to Al for a moment, Lanica relaised she was still smiling. Awkwardly, her smile faded, and she returned to looking towards the lake. Was it just her, or was this strange attraction she felt to him mutual? It didn't make sense, but she had always had a strange connection to Al, almost something she couldn't control, even though every inch of her body wanted to hate him. But there was something in his eyes, his smile, in everything that he did that almost brought a warmness to Laniee's heart. She rubbed her arms, feeling the breeze pick up, but did not speak, nor look away from the water's edge. [/size]

Al was having trouble controlling himself. His heart was telling him to reach over and kiss her but his mind was yelling at him and reminding him that she was a malfoy. But he couldn't help but wonder......every time he saw her.......he recieved an electric shock to his heart. Making him want to get closer to her. But he couldn't. She was a Malfoy. He was a Potter. And she probally didn't even like him anyways because of that reason. 'But we aren't our parents...we can do what we want' he thought to himself. He liked to analysis everything. He stole a glance at her and saw her shudder slightly. He imediatly took off his black coat with warm wool on the inside and placed it around her. He smiled at her then he suddenly looked back at the lake. His face had no emotion. He didn't even bother replying to her hippogriif comment afraid to get close to her and loose control.

Warmth suddenly swam through Laniee's body, but it wasn't from the coat. It was the way she felt about Al, and she just couldn't help it. Uncontrollably smiling, she looked to Al for a moment. He was handsome, more handsome then his brother. She longed to touch his face, but held back, deciding she had to look away. Her eyes now found the lake and she remained silence.
She didn't know how long they sat there in silence, but it felt like hours. She tok a deep breathe, and turned to Al. "I should probably get going soon.." Her voice was almost a whisper as her eyes focused on him. " I..um...Have a lot of homework...You know." Laniee didn't really have that much, and she was a Ravenclaw, it wouldn't take long, she just didn't know how much longer she could stay sitting next to the boy. [/size]

Al turned to her and grabbed her hand. "No, don't go." he said pleadingly then he looked at her he released her hand and looked at the ground. He knew he had to tell her the truth about how he felt for her but he didn't know it would be this hard. He turned to her his eyes magnestized to hers. He took a deep breath and he took her hand in his again. "Laniee, i erm have to tell you or rather ask you something....."he said in a whisper.

Laniee stopped, her stomach did backflips and she just caught a glimpse of Al's hand on hers before he took it away. Her eyes found his and she felt as though she was melting, his eyes piercing hers with their strong gaze. When his hand found hers again, she knelt down infront of him and heard him whisper. She blinked at him a few times, scared of what was going to happen next. The girl simply nodded, not saying a word, but keeping eye contact with Al.

Al hesitated alittle and he turned away from her and sighed. He knew this was a bad idea but it was what his heart was telling him to do. He turned back to her his blue eyes flashing. "You see when i first met you i thought you were the typical Malfoy, stuck up, arrogant, on the dark side. " then he took his other hand and stroked her face an electric shock going through his hand as he did. "but you......your so different from the rest....your not really like your father or your brother, yes you may be on the dark side but you aren't as mean as them, well to me your not and im a potter. " then he realized he was going on and on. "ok to break it down......." he took another deep breath. "Laniee, i really really like you, and i erm......wanted to know if you wanted to umm go out with me..." he said quietly looking at her earnestly.

Still clutching his hand, Laniee watched Al as he spoke, taking in every word. Was this going where she thought it was? He was saying all these things, whether they were rute or not she did not know, but Al seemed to really mean them. Her eyes watched his face, but soon closed as he touched her cheek, sending a shiver down her spine. Soon her eyes opened once more and she nodded, "You're different too Al..So different." But Al continued to speak and her heart kept skipping beats. Then the words finally came out. Al asked Laniee out...
After a moment of staring at him with confusion and longing running through her, she took her hand back and placed it in her lap. She looked out to the lake for a moment, not sure what to say. She was torn between who she was and how she felt. What was she meant to do? "Al.." She turned to look at him once more, but quickly dropped her eyes to the ground. "We can't..." Sighing, her eyes found the lake once more. "I...You know I...I feel the same. I do. But we can't! Look at who we are! We were born enemies. We hate each other. That may not be how we feel...But it's how we're made..." Laniee sighed again, but would not, could not look at Al. [/size]

Al edged closer to her and looked at her seriously but kindness in his eyes. "We shouldn't have to put aside our feelings because our FATHERS were enemies in school, and just because we are on different sides......" he stopped himself he knew this would come out bad. He looked across the lake thinking of a way. "Laniee, we are different people when we are around eachother, and for us not to be together is just wrong. " he stated still looking at the lake.
He didn't really know what to say at first. He knew what she said was true. They really couldn't be together but at the same time they had too. He turned toward her a determind look on his face. "Laniee, i don't think you realize what it is i've come to feel for you, and if you like me too, then we should we do this.....screw the world, the war, and our families. " he said sternly. His expression softened and he picked up her hand and he kissed it lightly. "We need to give this a shot....." he said softly, he is very old fashioned when it came to this stuff.

Maybe Al was right. That was their father's lives, and they had the right to do what they wanted, they were old enough to make their own decisions, they were almost of age even. Sighing, she looked back at Al as he spoke of their father's and being on different sides. "But what do we do if the war gets worse? I can't sit by and watch if something was to happen to you." SHe sighed again, but remained looking at Al, wishing it could be easier, wishing she could be on his side, not be a Malfoy, but it wasn't like that.
Laniee now watched as he spoke again, watching his eevry move, every feature, the way his lips moved as he talked...Those lips...How Laniee longed for them. She felt as though she would faint as he took her hand and kissed it with those lips. "Oh...Al..." She sighed, but did not remove her gaze from his eyes. Laniee reached out and took his other hand in hers, squeezing it lightly. "I don't know what's going to happen...But maybe we should give it a shot." As she spoke, she smiled lightly, her heart beating a million beats per second, so fast she was surprised he could not hear it ticking away inside of her, ticking away for him. [/size]

Al listened to her but he didn't answer. He couldn't speak when they were this close his heart he was sure could be heard miles away. And all he wanted to do was to kiss her deeply and move his fingers in her hair. Finally deciding on impulse and instincts he moved close to her their faces inches apart and he leaned forward and pressed his lips lightly on hers. He put one hand on her back, pressing her into him. After awhile he seperated from her. "Now do you believe me.....in that we should try....." he said smiling, hoping he didn't upset her by doing that. But he was extremely glad he did. A weight had been lifted off his chest.

The second his lips touched hers, Laniee's eyes closed and body relaxed. SHe kissed him back, releasing all the emotions she had felt lately into the kiss. The girl had been waiting for this moment for so long, and it wasn't how she had thought it would be, it was even better. Once he pulled away, she grinned, nodding. "Yeah, Al. There's not harm in trying I guess." She looked down at his hand and entwined her fingers through his. "We can try. We'll just have to keep it secret for a while." Looking into his eyes again, she felt so happy, it was like nothing else mattered. She leant in and kissed him softly on the lips again, releived the secrets from Al had dissapeared.

Al was over come with joy. He waited forever, probally ever since he had his first conversation with her. And now he let himself loose control and he continued to kiss her wrapping his arms around her. He broke off.."Ok, it will be our little secret...for now..." he whispered in her ear and he kissed her again.

Laniee's smiled through the kiss. It was like a fairytale, like Laniee was the princess and Al the prince. Although it was more like Laniee was the villian, Al was the hero. She nodded after he whispered in her ear, giggling to herself. When he kissed her again, Laniee made sure she kissed back more passionately then before. Having such a big an important secret made this seem so much more fun. fter a moment she pulled away away and smiled at Al, not sure what to say. "I don't understand how you can seem so..Different... From everyone. From your family, from other Gryffindors. It's like you were made just for me..." Laniee blushed bright red, never feeling such a connection to anyone before. [/size]

three little monkeys . Lily had listened to the whole conversation and had seen everything. She'd seen her brother kiss her enemy and boy friends sister. Lily tried to remind herself this wasn't much different, that he had supported her with Scorpious, and she should do the same. Next thing she knew Lily was falling out of the tree, landing on the ground behind the tree. She let out a moan of pain and frustration, would they think she'd been spying on them. "d**n it!" she cursed, louder then she meant to.

Al had been kissing Laniee and he even had his arms starting to wrap around her waist pulling her against him when he heard a thud and someone curse. He turned his head and gasped it was Lily. He seperated himself from Laniee and stood up brushing himself off before putting his hands on his hips. "What the bloody hell are you doing?!" he demanded it was the first time he ever spoke to Lily like that and he sounded an awful lot like his father.

Laniee had heard the thud a second before Al pulled away and turned to see Lily on the ground, she'd obviously been in the tree, probably spying on them knowing the Potters. For a moment, Laniee stood in shock, staring at the girl. But she snapped out of it once Al spoke. "What the hell?" She looked from Lily to Al. "What is wrong with your family? For a second I thought things were going to be different! You Potters are all the same." She moaned in annoyance. Now their secret wasn't only their secret. Folding her arms, she looked at Al, her eyes filled with anger and sadness. "I'm sorry. I have to go." And with that she stormed off, not looking back at the brother and sister.
[the thread in the bathroom can be like the first time they've talked since this?]

((OK...xD))
Al started after he but sighed. He turned around, folded his arms and glared at Lily. "Can you tell me why you were spying on me?" he snapped. Alittle annoyed. Lily and him were really close and for her to do something like that was just low.
