I walk into the head's common room, and I see him lounging on the couch, looking perfect and waiting for me. I feel a smile come to my lips, and I also feel my heart skip a beat. I walk over to him and set my bag down. I climb onto the couch next to him then, and immediately his arm reaches around to wrap itself around me. My heart flutters again.
"How was your day, Lily?" James, my boyfriend, asks me. I sigh, and my horrible day comes rushing back at me.
"I fell in the snow on my way to Care of Magical Creatures, and I got a ridiculous amount of things thrown at me by Peeves today," I respond. He chuckles in my ear, and I feel my heart skip another beat as his warm breath tickles me lightly.
"Oh yeah, hilarious," I mutter, trying to take my mind off of the close proximity between us. To my dismay, his arm tightens its hold on me then, completely counteracting my efforts, and making my heart beat erratically again.
We sit like this for some time. His other arm is idly stroking my hair, and I soon find my eyes drifting closed as I listen to the smooth, steady beat of his heart. How fair is that? His heart gets to be normal while mine is still going crazy in my chest!
"What are you thinking about, love?" James asks then.
"I'm thinking about how bad you are for me," I say with a light smile that can be heard in my voice.
"How is that?" he questions.
"Well, being around you is taking a horrible toll on my health," I continue with mock sincerity.
"Is that so?" he responds with a laugh, "How is that?"
"Well, whenever I'm around you, my heart goes crazy! My heart is skipping beats, and it's all because of you, James Potter," I tell him matter-of-factly.
"Really?" he asks, matching my mock-serious tone.
"Yes. I just thought I would let you know in advance, so that you know you're responsible when I die of heart complications," I tell him. A full out laugh escapes him then, and I can't help but joining in.
"Well, thank you for the heads up. I'll start thinking of a good place to hide your body for when the authorities come after me," James jokes. I hit him playfully and turn around in his arms, so that I'm facing him.
"Very funny," I pout at him.
"I thought so," he tells me, his smile still shining on his face. I huff, pretending to be angry with him, but we both know that's not the case.
"I love you," he says then, and takes both of my hands in his.
"I love you, too," I answer, and I feel my self leaning in instinctively.
Our lips meet in a gentle but meaningful kiss. His hands wrap around my waist, and I find mine go to his neck; one is playing with his messy hair, which up until recently I hated. Strange how things change, isn't it?
We pull apart, and I feel that my heart is beating out of control again. I sigh, and give in, letting the damned organ do what it wants. After all, if skipping beats is a result of something as wonderful as love, it can't be all that bad after all.
