Lily stormed through the portrait hole to the Heads's Dorm and plopped down on the couch in the common room. She didn't even notice the Head Boy sitting below her.

"Lily, you only said yes ten minutes ago, but I didn't think you wanted to get this close yet."

"What? James? Sorry." A blush crept up her face as she slipped off his lap.

"Why so angry, dear?" he joked.

"Because of you!"

"Huh?"

"You…you blackmailed me into going out with you."

"Lily, I didn't blackmail you at all."

"You…you all changed and made me like you."

James laughed. "I only changed because you asked me too. But I'm glad it worked."

Lily folded her arms over her chest and pouted. "You suck."

"I get that a lot," James said and put his arm around Lily. She didn't resist, but fell back into his warmth.

"This is new," James said.

Lily smiled. "Mmm."
