DISCLAIMER: NOT MINE!

Lily Evans sighed. She had been dating James Potter for exactly 4 months 2 weeks 6 days and 8 hours and so far they hadn't slept together yet. It wasn't as if she wasn't willing, in fact she was very willing, had been so for 4 months 1 day and 12 hours to be exact. The problem seemed to be with James. Finally she burst out

"Look, what's the matter? I mean, it's not like you're a virgin or anything!" then she blushed very red, horrified at how candid she'd been. James' cheeks coloured pink slightly

"You're right, I'm not. But with you…I feel as nervous as if I were." He murmured softly

"You have no reason to be if what Bertha Jenkins says is true." Lily responded, still having no control over what she was saying. Had someone slipped her a loose tongue potion or something?!

"Who?" James asked perplexed.

"Bertha Jenkins. Sixth year Hufflepuff. Blonde, green eyes."

"Never met her."

"Yes you have! You slept with her!" Lily was getting annoyed. So was James

"I have not! I can count the people I've slept with on one hand!" he held up his left hand, fingers extended. He pointed to his thumb

"There was…" Suddenly he blushed.

"Er, anyway. I didn't sleep with her."

"Well she boasts about it periodically."

"Ah, well, there you see? There's the clue. The girls I've slept with wouldn't boast about it." James smirked

"What?"

"How many girls boast about sleeping with me.?"

"About 12." Lily gave him their names

"You know, I don't think I've met half of them. And Annie Smith is just FAR too young"

"I thought that…"

"Anyway, I haven't slept with any of them." Lily wasn't sure she believed him

"The one's I've slept with are the ones at the back with misty eyes and quiet smiles." Lily was tiring of this conversation. In fact she was tiring of ANY conversation

"Ok then, why don't you show me why they go misty eyed?" she challenged.

So he did.

The next time Bertha Jenkins boasted about sleeping with James Potter Lily joined the limited ranks of misty eyed girls on the fringes of the avid group. There was only 4 of them so far as she could tell. She had expected 5 for some reason. The girl closest to her noticed her look and grinned, winking at her before leaving. Lily grinned and left too. As she walked along the corridor she could still feel the misty look on her face. As she rounded a corner a seventh year Ravenclaw winked at her before continuing on his way past.

'Now why did he do that?' Lily wondered before hurrying to meet James.

A/N: Yeah, no idea where I got this idea from, found this on my PC just now, it's been there for quite some time now. It's short, and I'm thinking, kinda sweet. Hope you liked it. Lemme know? ^_^
