DON'T READ AHEAD! You'll enjoy it more if you don't.

Lily Evans looked up. She stared at the mop of black hair that was currently stationary in thought.

The owner of that unruly head of hair looked up, too.

Emeralds met hazels.

Lily breathed in, the crackling fire in the background making her warmer than usual.

James cocked his head to the side in amusement.

The readhead breathed in again and wiped the sweat from her brow.

Just as the former's lips twitched upward in a winning smile, the latter sighed.

"Will you just make a move already!?! I'm dying over here!"

Not wanting to prolong her wait any longer, the raven-haired Head boy leaned forward, closing the distance between them. And just as their faces became inches apart, he breathed,

"Knight to E-5. Your move, Evans."

Be honest: did you look? Tee hee. Hope you enjoyed!
