004 || [Log with Lily; Backdated to 8th October]
James closed the door and turned on the light in his bedroom. Lily wasn't back yet. He sighed and undressed, climbing into their bed and turning off the light again but he didn't sleep. He thought about his girlfriend. Sorry, fiancée. He wasn't worried that she wasn't back yet. He knew she could take care of herself. It just seemed that being given the knowledge of their future had made them drift apart. They were hardly together in the same room and even though they slept in the same bed, sex had never even saw the table let alone be on it. No, James wasn't worried about Lily. Just their relationship.
Lily stumbled back into the house late; still giggling from the elixir she'd had several doses of over the course of the day. She was still feeling energized and happy, and any thoughts of how things were strange between her and James were completely gone. She bounded up the stairs and burst into their bedroom, leaping onto the bed.
"James!" She whispered loudly. "Wake up!"
James had been sleeping until he felt the bed dip and a loud whisper. "Hmmm?" He murmured sleepily. It could only be Lily but she wouldn't have woken him up unless something was up. "What's wrong?"
Lily giggled. "Nothing's wrong, I just want you to be awake with me!" She pulled the covers off of him and took his hands to pull him into a sitting position. "Wake up!"
James was very surprised until his brain caught up and he remembered the potions she'd been brewing lately. He groaned inwardly. Was this Lily worse or better than the previous one? "Alright. Alright. I'm awake!"
"I'm so happy, James, and it's brilliant. I haven't felt like this in so long. I still have a vial of the elixir left, you should take it. James, take it and be happy with me."
James sighed and shook his head. "I'm glad you're happy but I don't need a potion to do that for me." He managed a smile. "I'm happy just being here with you."
Lily shook her head back. "Are you really? We haven't done anything together in so long, James."
"That's why I'm happy we're here together now. Because it's been a long time." He feels stupid doing this. This isn't his Lily. The potion should be illegal. It creates a shadow of the former self like a Muggle drug and it's like talking a baby.
Lily sighed. The potion was beginning to wear off a bit, the euphoric feeling beginning to fade and the weight of her worries beginning to settle on her shoulders again. "Are we okay?"
But James wasn't to know that just yet. So he kept up his egg-shell walking act. "Of course we are."
Lily stood, not convinced, trying to hold onto that feeling of unbridled happiness for as long as she could, but the action seemed to have the opposite effect, like waking up out of a dream. "Oh," she said, brow knitting. "It's gone."
James nodded. "Potions do that. It's not true happiness. Just the illusion of it." What he wanted to say was 'That's what we used to have.'
"I know that. I just wanted to...be happy. And I had a lovely time today. Made new friends, made wonderful memories." She sighed again, sitting down in the edge of the bed. "I'm sorry I woke you."
"That's okay. I'm glad you had a good day. Do you mind if I go back to sleep now?" He tried his best to speak with his usual amusing tone, but like the potion (and their happiness), it was gone.
Lily frowned. She had been so excited to come home and see him and now... "...right. Sorry. I'm just...going to make some tea. Sleep well." She stood, turning her back to the bed.
"Thanks." He turned over but turned back almost immediately. "No. It doesn't matter." He got up and moved to look her in the eye. "You were right. You were high but you were right. We haven't done anything together for a long time. And I miss that." He sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. Just holding her felt nice.
She turned back to him, wrapping her arms around him and holding him tight. "Are we okay?"
James squeezed her gently. "We will be. Because we're strong people and we love each other." 'Not because some ginger kid from the future says so.' He thinks but doesn't say. He's clever enough not to open that can of flobberworms.
"Mmm," Lily hummed, nuzzling her face into his neck. "We are. And we do. I love you so much, James."
"I love you too Lily. So much more than I could ever say." He pulled back slightly to look into her eyes, trying to show his love before kissing her on the lips and showing her that way as well.
Lily kissed back eagerly, showing him how she felt through the press of her lips to his as well.
James closed his eyes in pleasure. They hadn't even kissed in days so this was like their first kiss all over again. He continued until he had pulled back for air, and when he did he was grinning.
Lily couldn't help but smile too. Things had felt disconnected and awkward for awhile, but that kiss...it was like riding a bicycle. So easy. So right.
"So now what? You still want to make tea?" Because he certainly didn't want to sleep.
She laughed, softly. "I don't really want tea." She kissed him again, breaking it off before it could really get going. "But I do want you."
"That's good. Because I want you too." He shuffled back to the headboard and gestured for her to join him.
Smirking, she crawled along the length of the bed to him. The smirk widened into a grin as she got closer. "James," she purred.
The purring combined with the weeks of abstinence, made his cock jump in his underwear. "Lily..." He moaned, grabbing her for a long passionate kiss.
Lily kissed back with just as much fire, the fingers of both hands threading through his hair.
The hands in his hair just turned him on more and he moved his own down her sides to the bottom of her shirt and then up in the inside, feeling her skin and pulling her down on top of him so she could feel exactly how much he wanted this. Wanted her.
Lily moaned as their bodies made contact and his fingers brushed over bare skin. She deepened his kiss, pretty much sitting in his lap at this point.
After a moment of pleasure, James pulled back breathless. "Sorry." He mumbled as he moved her off him again. As much as he wanted her to feel him, her weight wasn't helping the hardness. "Too many clothes." He gave her a quick kiss before removing her shirt and starting on her bra.
Lily laughed breathily, unbuttoning her pants and wriggling to try to get them off quickly.
James made quick work of her bra and moved to free himself of his own clothing. Once done, his hands went back to her breasts and touched them in way he remembered she liked.
Lily gave up on her pants, because oh, that felt good. She leaned back in to kiss him, hard.
James kissed her back, his hands travelling south to pick up where she left off. He wanted her as naked as he was before they started anything too heavy.
Lily lifted her hips so he could better remove the offending article of clothing as her fingers began to explore the expanse of his chest.
James grinned as he threw away her pants and explored the newly naked areas. One hand rubbed that small bundle of nerves while the other slid on finger inside.
Lily shuddered at the touch, a little surprised by how forward James was being. It was a huge turn on, and she slid her hands down further, wrapping her fingers around his erection to stroke him once, slowly and purposefully.
James moaned at the touch. After weeks of not even kissing properly, James wanted her now even if he was being more forward that usual. He pushed his finger in slowly before pulling out, creating a slow rhythm.
Lily squirmed against his touch, stroking him again. "James. I'm ready...please..." She shifted so she was straddling his hips and kissed him again.
James nodded and pulled out, his hands now on her hips. Positioning her over his hardness, he pushed her down slowly and entered her with a groan.
Lily hissed as he filled her completely and she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, hugging him tightly, feeling whole. Oh, it'd been too long.
James kissed her. Her lips, her neck, her shoulders. Anything he could reach while not having to move his hips. He wanted to savour the feeling and remember this so it never had to happen again.
Lily kissed him back, a little overwhelmed by how relieved she felt now that they were this close again. But the fire in her womb was only growing with each kiss and she had to move, slowly at first, lifting her hips from his and then sinking back down.
James groaned loudly. The pleasure was overwhelming and he kept his hands on her hips to help her stay where they both wanted her to be as he continued his kissing.
Lily started up a rhythm, still kissing him deeply. She hummed softly with pleasure each time he filled her completely, and there was nothing but this, nothing but the movement of their bodies.
James whimpered slightly when she was close to pulling out and then groaned when she fell back into him. This was perfection. This was love. This was everything he'd ever wanted and he couldn't believe he'd given it up.
Lily kept the pace slow but deliberate, just revelling in the slow build of pressure. Now she understood why they called it making love.
James didn't force her speed as he too was enjoying the slow torture. It was amazing that so much pleasure could come from one simple act from one particular person. Merlin, he loved her!
Lily increased the pace just a little bit, kissing him deeply and moaning softly rolling her body against him.
James groaned and kissed her back just as deeply. His hands on her hips were helping her along with the sweetness but he needed more or he was going to explode.
Lily purred against his lips as she arched her back, allowing him to penetrate deeper.
James whimpered again, his hands trying to make her rhythm faster.
Lily let him speed the movement of her hips, the increase in speed coiling tight in her core. "James" she whimpered.
James would whimper her name in response but his speech is nonexistent except to "Gah" when he feels exceptionally pleasured.
Lily laughed softly at his inability to speak, her heart swelling with fondness for him. She moved her hips more deliberately against his, her climax getting closer with every thrust
James started rubbing the bundle of nerves north of where they were joined in order to speed up his lover’s climax. He did love it when she came first.
Lily purred with pleasure, speeding the movement of their bodies even more as she held tight and let the pressure build until she came with a silent cry.
James was so close when Lily came that it threw him over the edge. It was the most amazing feeling and he loved Lily even more in that moment, though he thought that had been impossible before now.
Lily placed her hands on either side of James' face, looking into his eyes, hoping her was feeling like she was feeling. Complete.
Oh yes. Complete and amazed. He kissed her deeply, finally getting the ability to speak back. "Love you."
Lily kissed him back. The euphoria was back, but this time it wasn't because of a potion, it was because of James and it was real and she beamed. "I love you too, James."
How could they have wasted all that time? Maybe because it made this night all the sweeter? James didn't care. He had Lily back in his arms and under the covers and that was all that mattered.
Lily leaned back in to kiss him one more time while they were still connected, and then lifted her hips carefully, hissing as their bodies separated.
James made a low groan as she did so, pulling her down by his side and in close with a kiss to her forehead. She amazed him. She always did. He felt so lucky right now.
Lily cuddled up close, making happy humming noises as she got comfortable.
He slowly pulled her head up to kiss her lips and grin. "You're amazing."
She laughed, kissing him back. "You're not so bad yourself, love."
"I do try." He laughed, sighing happily. All the weeks of turmoil finally seemed to be over and they could get back to their lives and their relationship.
Lily felt the same way. It was amazing how this one physical act seemed to smooth everything over. To solidify their relationship and their feelings for one another.
James' eyes were slowly closing; he was close to wanting sleep again but not there yet.
Lily began humming, a tune she was making up on the spot, just because she was happy. She traced lazy circles on James' bare skin, just revelling in being close.
The lazy circles weren't helping him stay awake and he couldn't stifle a yawn. Then he laughed, trailing circles on Lily's body in return.
Lily giggled, the fingers trailing over her skin tickling. She tickled him back, lightly, fingernails ghosting over ribs.
He squirmed, tickling her with more earnest. This was a game now and he was going to win.
A bright, musical laugh found its way from Lily's lips and she squirmed, trying to get a hold on James' wrists, to keep him from tickling her more. "James!" she cried.
He grinned more broadly, tickling her even more and laughing as he squirmed away from her grabs.
"No!" Lily shrieked, reaching out to pinch him under the covers in an attempt to get him to back down.
"Oi!" He pulled back. "That was mean." But he was still laughing.
She was still laughing too, and leaned in to kiss him as an apology, her arm draping back over him in a loose embrace.
He kissed back, shaking his head with a grin. "It’s lucky I love you, you know."
Lily stumbled back into the house late; still giggling from the elixir she'd had several doses of over the course of the day. She was still feeling energized and happy, and any thoughts of how things were strange between her and James were completely gone. She bounded up the stairs and burst into their bedroom, leaping onto the bed.
