Together

Lily ran over to James, as he held the Quidditch cup looking as carefree as possible. She looked directly into his eyes and gave this little half hearted smile.

"Lily." He called over the screams. She looked up at him. "Lily, what's wrong?"

"Nothing! I'm fine...just...confused. A little." She smiled again pitifully

"Lily?" He stared at her conflicted face. "Lily, why do you hate me and like me?"

"What?"

"You've been acting really strange all term.." He pronounced. "Every lesson, you look away in disgust and then back in admiration. Every time I talk to you, you mumble something about a job to do, but later try and engage conversation."

"It's your big head that I hate! But...I don't hate it when you act differently. It's strange in here." She pointed to her red head.

"I was wondering what made you hate me in the first place. And now like me."

"A billion reasons." She said tiresomely. " I hated you because you go around hexing people, you are sometimes rude to my friends! You're so arrogant, your head is bigger than the moon! You ask me out every day, and I have to suffer all my friends thinking I have a crush on you. I like you because you can actually be nice. Sometimes." She looked away, how could she just confess like that? "You love me." She said quickly, trying not to think about it.

"Mmmm…"

"I was wondering why you love me." Lily said, using his words.

"Ah, yes. Well, let's just say that I find your very presence uplifting. Your eyes are the most beautiful I have ever seen. You make me laugh even when you try to make me cry. You look at everyone in a way that makes me think that you only hate me. You try to look for the good in everyone. Except me."

"I don't all hate you." She whispered. He raised his eyebrow. "I…I feel all jumbled. My frie- well, Sev; you hate him and he hates you. There are no immediate plans to change that. But, when I see you, my heart…it does a little jump." She looked at the ground, and then up to his face. He gasped wildly and kissed her. She was excited, and scared, and a mixture of every emotion on the planet. That didn't stop her from kissing him back. Everyone on the Quidditch Pitch looked to where the happy couple were.

"Lily…" He whispered in her ear, she could feel his lips everywhere, on her face, on her jaw, on her collar. She could feel them on her neck. She remained kissing his lips. His tongue pushed against her bottom lip, asking for entrance to her mouth. She relinquished and felt his tongue exploring the contours of the roof. His hands were all over her hair, her face, her neck. She gasped for air but then continued.

"Yes James!" Someone called from across the pitch. Sirius. Damn.

"Lily! This is so cool!" Alice's voice. They now had a really big audience.

James' hands continued a little further down and Lily sighed. "You can stop right there." She pulled away and gave him a little smile. She looked around at the faces of her friends. Alice looked pleased, and Marlene just ecstatic. Remus and Sirius were giving James a look saying: Don't let us keep you. All four looked dishevelled, but so did Lily.

"Sooo." James said. "A triple date, anybody?"
