Chapter 1
Lily's POV
Yes, I'm in love with James Potter. Hell if I know when it happened, it just did. Unfortunately, this year he decided to start being a gentleman, and stopped asking me out. What makes it even worse, is that we share the Head's dorm.
James's POV
I looked up from my potions essay, to see Lily staring at me, her eyes quickly flickered back down her paper. I could see the blush that spread from her cheeks to her ears, it was easy to see, since the couch we were sitting on was so small, our knees were practically touching. I smiled, I was so glad that we got to become friends, even if, every second, I was half-desperate to kiss her, it was better than her hating me. The only problem was Remus. About 2 years ago, he had developed a crush for her, and now he gives her gifts, write poems for her, and asks her out on dates. Makes me angry just thinking about it how it started: Moony barged in to our dorm, blushing like mad, and a grin from ear to ear,
"I did it! I got a date with Lily!"
We all stared at him for a moment
"...Y-you what?" I stuttered, hoping it was all some sick joke he made up to torment me, but deep down, I knew he would never do that
"I said, I got a date with Lily! Isn't it wonderful!" he said, oblivious to my hatred
"No! No no no no no no no no no no! This can't be happening! How could you possibly get a date with Evans? I've been trying for 5 bloody years!" I screamed
"Well, maybe it's because I don't harass her for a date every two minutes, and I actually try to be her friend!"
Ever since then, I've done just that. I've tried to be her friend. Of course, it took some time for her to warm up to me, but look where we're at now! We're dorm mates! And we hardly ever have rows anymore!
"What?" I ask,
"Hm?" she says, not even glancing up from her essay,
"You were staring" I said, a grin tugging at my lips
"Was not" she denied
"Oh, just admit it, Evans, you're in total awe of my handsome good looks!" I said, hitting a fashion model pose, I could see she was fighting off a smile
"Oh please, you? Handsome? In your dreams, Potter" she said, I placed my hand over my heart and put on a shocked/hurt face,
"Oh Evans, you wound me!" I said, using my most dramatic voice, she burst out laughing, and fell back onto me, I laughed along with her, trying to restrain myself from pulling her into my arms and kissing her senseless.
Lily's POV
I tried to suppress my giggles, but it was impossible, the look on James's face, and the way he acted like a model, it was all too much. I fell on top of James, and he laughed with me. After a while, my giggle fit had subsided, and I looked up at him, he stared deeply into my eyes. I knew that he had stopped asking me out, and pretended like he wasn't madly in love with me, but the way he was staring at me right now, like nothing else in the world mattered, it was easy to put aside all my doubts.
"...James?" I said
"Yeah?" He asked, ...No, I can't do it, I can't tell him I love him. He loves you back, what could you possibly have to lose? No. What if he doesn't like me back? Look at the way he's staring at you. There's no doubt he's head-over-heels for you! What if he just thinks of me as a friend! You know that you mean more to him than that, Lily! Well...no. I just can't risk it.
"Nevermind..." I said, he looked disappointed,
"You sure?" He asked, I hesitated,
"...Yeah."
Normal POV
James walked out to the Quidditch Pitch and looked around at the cheering crowd, he searched the bleachers and immediately found the girl he'd been in love with for 7 years. Lily Evans. Sitting in the front row, staring at him, smiling. Oh, she looked so beau- wait. Smiling? Did she really just wave at him? They'd been friends for a while, but they'd never been THAT close...Maybe she was waving at Emmeline. He waved back, his heart fluttering. He took his stance, and when the whistle blew, he rose higher and higher. The second whistle blew, and the field came to life.
James saw a glint of gold, to his side, but he didn't want Regulus to know what he was up to, so he waited, until it was just in front of him, and dived.
They won! They won! Lily stood up and hugged Remus, who blushed profusely. She was jumping up and down and squealing.
"James!" Lily shouted, he looked over, and flew right up to her,
"Yeah?" He asked, Lily took the collar of his shirt, pulled him closer, leaned in, and touched her lips against his, still in midair. He sat on his broom, stunned, until he realized what was happening. Lily Evans was kissing him! Lily Evans! The girl he'd dreamt about since his 1st year! He rested his hands on her waist, and closed the remaining space between them. It was like electricity was pulsing through his veins, everywhere she touched caused flames to flicker and spread throughout his body. She pulled away all too fast, but he realized she was out of breath, and he was too.
"Congratulations on winning The Cup, Potter" She said, smiling,
"Winning The Cup is nothing, compared to winning you, my Lily Flower" He whispered, touching her messy bun. He tucked a few loose strands of her auburn hair behind her ears, and softly pressed his lips to hers.
