It was a spring morning. I was sitting at the Gryffindor table eating breakfast, when James walked up to me.

'Lils?' he asked nervously.

'Yeah.'

'Walk with me?'

'Sure,' I answered standing up, grabbing my bag as I got up. 'I will see you later, ok?' I said to my best friends, Rachel and Allie.

'Yup,' Rachel said with her mouth full of food. She and Sirius would be perfect for each other. Allie ignored her, probably because she was talking Remus about a book they'd read. They, too, would be perfect for each other. I think me and James would be great together as well, but hey.

'Coming?' came James' voice.

'Huh?' I asked stupidly. I blushed.

'For the walk?'

'Yeah, I'm coming.' As we walked out of the great hall. We walked to a tree near the lake. James turned to me.

'Lils?' he asked nervously. Even more nervously than before.

'Yeah?'

'What would you do if I was to say I had extremely strong, more than friendly, feelings for you?'

'Well, I would say I share your feelings, and have for a while, and that I really want to kiss you,' I said softly. Stepping forward, so that we were exactly 4 inches away from each others lips.

'Am I allowed to kiss you?' he whispered softly.

'Yes,' I granted and we leant in and his lips were so soft and he was so gentle. I had kissed Sirius and Remus for dares, and he was one of the best kisses I'd ever had. I had 3 favourites and they were the Marauders minus peter, of course. I don't think anyone would touch him voluntarily, let alone kiss him.

He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer, I wrapped one arm around his neck and my other hand buried itself in his hair. I pulled away gently.

'We have to get to class,' I said sadly.

'Ugh! I'll walk you,' he offered.

'Ok,' and we walked back hand in hand and we kissed gently before we separated.

This was the beginning of our wonderful relationship…
