A/N: Okay, I know I shouldn't be putting up a new fanfic before Deathly Hallows and before I finish reposting Questfallen, but I found this starter on my computer from a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that I just had to finish it and create a new story :)
Disclaimer: I am JKR. I own everything. I am rich, and I am the mother of everything Harry Potter. That is why I am writing fanfics, live in the USA, and am fourteen. Precisely.
Caution: Filled with traditional Lily/James humour. Gotta love that duo :)
"I can't fly, James Potter, and you know it!" came the overly obnoxious voice of a certain Gryffindor sixth year. She laughed and threw her broom on the ground, making snow angels on the floor with the snow and catching snowflakes with her tongue. Laughing, the girl rolled over and lay lazily in the snow, which had just stopped falling.
"You're just embarrassed that you are going to make a fool of yourself, Lils," a black haired boy called who was slowing down on his own broomstick and hovering above his friend, Lily. She laughed at him and tried to grab his broomstick, but he moved slightly to the side, making her grab nothing but thin air.
"You can't catch me…" The boy, or James, mocked. "Dearest, sweetest, prefect Lily Evans isn't the best at something, and, oh, what is this I hear? James Potter has beaten her?"
"You're such an arse," Lily replied, now getting up and mounting her broomstick. "I can catch you any day I so desire! Gryffindor Chaser or not!" She swung her leg over the broom and sat on it, although she seemed very uncomfortable, as if she was sitting on a toilet for the first time. And although Lily was potty trained and could make that assumption, she still wasn't sure if James was…
James took off with Lily trailing miserably after her. It was one of the few times that the girl had tied her red hair back in a ponytail exposing small yet delicate pale ears, and she tried to grab onto the back of James's broom.
"You know, in Quidditch they can take you out of a game for that," he said disapprovingly.
"You know, in the real world, they can put you in Azkaban for being an unregistered Animagus," Lily retorted, somewhat proud of herself for the good comeback. James grunted, as if telling her that he knew that and wanted her to shut up, but in a nicer way.
For a while the two chased each other and chased, Lily had actually knocked James off of his broom a few times but then he lazily got on his broom again (they weren't that high off of the ground, after all) and he had kissed her on the cheek in revenge. At long last both of them decided they were tired, and Lily returned her rental broom to Madame Hooch.
"You know, for a stuck up prat, that wasn't so bad," Lily told James as they both began to walk to the Gryffindor Common Room. "It was actually a bit fun."
James rolled his eyes. "So what ever happened with the Giant Squid?"
Lily rolled her eyes, remembering, exactly a year ago what she had told James Potter, and, amazingly, in exactly the same place.
"Ah, I guess we all tend to- er, over exaggerate sometimes," Lily explained. James put his arm around her and the two walked together, startling everyone whom they came across.
"The truth is, today actually wasn't so bad."
James's eyes gleamed and shone like he had just won the Quidditch World Cup. He hugged Lily harder than he had hugged anyone else ever, and then let her go.
"You're an abusive boyfriend, James Potter, did you know that?" Lily asked, laughing. "And yes, I did say 'boyfriend.' You can go tell your little cronies that now."
James looked stunned.
"Are you saying you'd go out with me, Evans?"
"I think I am, yes."
James hugged her again. It began to rain- the first time anyone had ever seen rain during wintertime, and not snow. But it was not terrible, wicked rain; for there were no sinister yellow forks of lightning scratching the Hogwarts realm, and there was no disastrous thunder. It was just soft, pitter-pattering rain that came down almost in patterns. He kissed Lily Evans for the first time in it.
"And what ever made you change your mind about me?" James asked her as they had pulled apart.
"Oh, like you don't know that story…" Lily trailed off, launching herself into a huge explanation.
A/N: Reviews GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
