Sharing the Bathroom
"La la la dee, doo dee doo dee dee, mmmhhhmm" Lily Evans sang as she rinsed off her conditioner in the shower.
She and James had their own Heads Dormitory, but had to share a bathroom, which Lily believed was a test to see if the two Heads worked in cooperation. She and James did not.
As Lily was finishing up her shower, James stepped into the steamy room to brush his teeth. Lily turned off the faucet and opened the curtain to grab her towel when she sceamed.
"AH! James!" She whipped her curtain closed while her heart raced and her face ran red.
"What the hell are you doing in here!" She screamed.
"Brushing my teeth!" James yelled with his toothbrush still in his mouth. Lucky for him and horridly for her, he had seen everything.
"Why?!"
"What do you mean 'why?'" What's wrong with you?! A lads gotta brush his teeth, Evans!" He replied.
He grabbed her towel and shoved it though the edge of the curtain, careful not to expose Lily again.
"Merlin Potter! Why didn't you wait until I was out! You heard the shower running!" She exclaimed as she toweled off and stepped out of the shower with her towel wrapped around her tightly. Her wet red curls stuck to her neck and collar as drops of water dripped off of her. She raced out of the bathroom huffing.
"Bloody birds." James mumbled as her rinsed his mouth. He wasn't peeping on her. She obviously over reacted.
Lily came back in her robe and towel wrapped in her hair. She began to moisturize her face and legs. Lily was careful to not expose any other body parts to James as he gargles his mouthwash.
"Stupid, arrogant jerk." She thought as Lily looked at him in spite. How dare he see her naked.
"If I ever catch you taking a peek again, Potter I swear I will end you."
"I wasn't taging a peek! You opened the curtain! I'm the innocent bystander who was just bloody flashed!"
"Oh don't pretend you didn't enjoy the show, you pig!" Lily grabbed her things and rushed to finish getting ready for bed in her room. He can't blame her for this! She was already bloody mortified.
Lily sat in her room thinking of how she was going to face him again. Merlin, each time he looks at her he is going to see her naked. So humiliating.
Later she went into the common area to read by the fire so her hair could dry. James was on the couch writing out a last minute potions essay when she walked in.
"Look I'm sorry I over reacted. I guess I could've been more careful stepping out of the shower." Lily apologized. She did mean it. Yeah he looked at her naked body, but it wasn't like he ripped open the curtain.
"I should've said something when I walked in so you knew I was in there, it's my bad too."
"I'm just happy we're over it." Lily said as she plopped down on the rug. The fire cackled as she read her book. She was wearing her thickest pajamas on purpose, so Potter wouldn't get any ideas. But as she laid on her stomach, her top dipped low and and her cleavage was plainly in view.
James glanced over and noticed Lily's thumping heart rate immediately. He smirked.
"You have a lovely singing voice by the way, Evans." James complimented as color erupted in Lily's cheeks.
"Not a bad rack either." He added as Lily leapt up and began beating him with her book and screaming her head off.
