Of Quills and Kisses
By: Tasha27
"Hey Lily, can I borrow a quill?"
Wow, when did he become so beautiful? And when had she become Lily to him?
"...Er...Evans?"
"Hmm...What? Oh right, a quill."
Get a grip Lily, jeeze, he's just James.
She rummages through her bag, finally locating a quill. As she passes James this Quill their fingers brush and he smiles slightly, and she smiles back, not only noticing the beautiful hazel of his eyes, but the warmth of his hand.
"There you go." She swallows the odd lump in her throat.
"Thanks. I've got to run though; McGonagall is going to hex me if I'm late again." He says smiling at her again. He pecks her on the cheek and begins making his way down the corridor.
For a minute her mind is buzzing. He kissed her. James Potter just kissed her. What? She comes to her senses as she sees the hem of his cloak disappear around the corner.
"Potter! Oi Potter!" she yells running to catch up with him.
He spins around and as she stops in front of him he smiles that smile- his smile that's innocent yet mischievous- and her breath catches in her throat. Her mind goes numb for a moment and she loses all train of thought until his deep voice breaks the silence.
"Yes Lily dearest?"
Again with that smile!
"What was that for?" she asks with confusion, cocking her head to side slightly. He takes in her appearance before he manages to articulate an answer.
"It was a thank you."
She manages to contemplate this for a moment then she slowly takes a step forward, runs her fingers from his chest, grabbing his tie and pulling him down to meet her lips. It takes him a couple seconds to respond and once he does their tongues dance like leaves in a whirlwind. Her hands slowly let go of their hold on his tie and move to tangle in his hair and rub the stubble on his jaw. His hands in turn find their way to her waist.
Wow. I guess the rumours of James being an excellent kisser are true! Oh, wow.
After innumerable moments pass they break apart, gasping for air.
"Wha- What was that for?" breathes James. She smiles mischievously taking in his swollen lips and ruffled hair and replies,
"That was a 'you're welcome'."
A/N: This was really random and came to me during math class one day. A HUGE thanks goes to my beta dyly who took the time out of her busy schedule to beta this for me! R.E.V.I.E.W. please?
