[Main HP Comprehensive British-American] Lolita - Chapter 45

Lily Evans stared with a headache at the note that Dolores had slipped into her.

Because of her friend’s sneaky behavior, she was slightly nervous, thinking that something extraordinary had happened. As a result, when he unfolded it, he saw the familiar handwriting with claws and claws on it, asking her to meet at the edge of the forbidden forest this afternoon.

Who but Potter would ask a girl to go to a place like the Forbidden Forest? She felt a little funny, and it was like a huge soap bubble was blowing in her heart, and it was constantly expanding, and it was about to cover the whole heart.

She couldn’t define who James Potter was. The boy has been chasing after her since the first grade. Of course she was happy at first, which is the vanity that girls have. If Potter had kept up this silly pursuit, she might have agreed to date him long ago.

But Severus—

Lily held her cheeks sadly and looked at the playground from the library window, where Potter and his party were playing a simplified version of Quidditch for four. She really wished they were at peace with Severus, maybe getting to know each other a little bit more so they wouldn’t be at each other’s throats all the time.

Dolores once comforted her, “Don’t worry about Severus being bullied,” the girl gave a sly smile, “Now Potter can’t wait to avoid him.”

It turned out that Dolores was right, I don’t know since when, the five boys never had a conflict, and even when Severus taunted Potter even more, he just revealed his own unique, A puppy smile.

Thinking of this, Lily decided to go to the appointment.

“I’m sorry I’m sorry! I’m late!” A sweaty boy came running from a distance, even holding his broom in his hand.

Lily was a little unhappy. Could it be that he decided to meet in the Forbidden Forest just because it was the closest to the playground?

Seeing her slightly cold expression, the boy stepped forward eagerly: “I’m really sorry, I know I shouldn’t be late.”

Then he scratched his head embarrassedly, “It’s all Sirius’ idea. He saw that I was too nervous, so he played a game of Quidditch with me, and we both forgot the time…”

“It’s okay.” Lily laughed a little after hearing his explanation.

James found that he was forgiven by the goddess and returned to his usual carefree appearance. “Actually, I didn’t expect you to come. You didn’t pay attention to me before.”

“It saves Severus a lot of time because you’ve been doing well lately.”

He looked unnatural when he heard Snape’s name, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have treated him that way before.”

“Does the only thing you want to say to me today is to apologize?” After saying this, Lily blushed, what was she implying randomly.

“No, no,” James waved his hands again and again, “I meant to ask you—”

Lily realized that the boy might be talking about “being his girlfriend” again, but unlike usual, she felt her heart beating a little faster this time.

“—Do you want to touch the deer with your own hands?”

Looking at the boy’s cheerful appearance, she suppressed the faint disappointment in her heart, “What?”

“I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a deer, but Sirius said that girls like deer…” His voice gradually lowered due to shyness.

“Where is it?” she asked. “Where is that deer?”

James Potter, who got the approval of the goddess, almost jumped up, “In the Forbidden Forest! I’ll take you there!”

Lily hesitated for a moment, the students were forbidden to enter the forbidden forest. Seeing that the girl hadn’t followed, James turned his head in front. In the mind of the boy who regarded the school rules as nothing, he didn’t realize Lily’s concerns at all, he just thought she was afraid.

Here’s your chance to show your masculinity! James clenched his fists secretly in his heart.

So he walked quickly to Lily and held her hand involuntarily, “Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”

Lily Evans’ heart skipped a beat.

They took a very remote road, or it could not be regarded as a road at all. The huge tree roots protruded from the ground, making Lily, who was not familiar with the Forbidden Forest, forget to let go of the boy’s hand.

When James stopped to signify that they had reached their destination, Lily hurriedly released the hands they had been shaking.

This is a huge tree deep in the Forbidden Forest, and the land around it is flat grass, not the rhizomes they just walked on.

“Okay, here we are, what about the deer?” she asked.

“It’s right in front of you.” James pointed to himself.

“Seriously, Potter,” she said with a touch of anger, probably mostly from the shyness of the hand-holding incident, “did you take me this far just to be joking?”

“Can you call me by my name?” he asked suddenly.

“what?”

“I’ve been calling you Lily for four years,” the boy smiled, “Can’t you call me by my name?”

Lily was stunned for a moment, “Zhan, James…”

“Didn’t you ask where the deer is?” James, who was finally called by her name, was satisfied, “Look—”

Lily exclaimed subconsciously, and the boy in front of her turned into a stag in an instant, walked around her proudly, stopped in front of her again, lowered her head, and motioned for her to touch her.

James Potter is an Animagus.

Lily reached out and touched the stag’s head lightly, and he happily rubbed his cheek against her palm again.

“How is it, am I good?” He changed back into a humanoid to ask for credit.

“Very powerful.” She nodded, but there was no other movement.

James looked at her indifferent look a little confused, did she not like it?

“You… don’t you like deer? Then do you like dogs? What about mice? I can let them touch you—”

Lily laughed because of his anxious look, “You exposed so quickly that you are both Animagus, aren’t you afraid of me revealing it?”

“You won’t.” James sat beside her, leaning against the tree like her.

“How do you know I won’t?” she asked deliberately.

“I just know,” he said stubbornly, “because you’re the best and kindest girl.”

Lily turned her head to look at the boy, who was pulling the grass at his feet earnestly, probably angry that his performance didn’t get enough response.

“Are you unhappy?”

“No,” he explained, realizing the hypocrisy of his words, “I’m just frustrated that I can’t do better.”

“Why do it better?”

“Then you’ll love me more.”

“I…” Lily felt like she wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to express it, “I like it very much, don’t be unhappy.”

James immediately stopped destroying the grass and threw out his classic question: “Then will you be my girlfriend?”

Looking at his wide-eyed smile, Lily realized that she may not like deer, but a person.

“What’s the benefit of being your girlfriend?” She didn’t say no, but asked him instead.

“Of course it’s good,” he didn’t realize what Lily’s different answer meant, and was still giving reasons at random, “you can have a deer!”

“Okay,” she replied.

James Potter felt his heart stop for a second, and he asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”

“I said yes.” Lily raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

But James was silent, just staring blankly at this girl who he chased from first grade to fourth grade.

“Are you okay?” she asked worriedly.

The boy nodded, shook his head again, and finally lowered his head.

Then Lily heard his shy voice: “Can I kiss you?”
