(A/N- This is a James and Lily story! It will, essentially, be a multi-chapter story. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: If I owned Harry Potter, I wouldn't be babysitting Tweedle Dee and Tweedle "Dumb." See what I did there?)

Tart Kisses

"Oh, Merlin! This pudding is divine!" Alice moaned, leisurely eating the pudding so she could savor the flavor. I giggled at my dark-haired friend's silly antics. We were sitting in the Great Hall for dinner. She was sitting next to her longtime boyfriend, Frank Longbottom. Her silky black hair was tied in a neat ponytail, and her pretty brown eyes lit up at whatever joke Frank had told her moments before. They smiled sweetly at each other while she fed him a bit of pudding. I turned away, embarrassed to have witnessed a tender moment between the couple. I envied her steady relationship. I wistfully thought about all the short dates I had been on in Hogsmeade. None of which turned out well.

"Oi, Evans!" I looked up to see the Marauders, the infamous group of troublemakers at Hogwarts. James Potter and Sirius Black sauntered over to the Gryffindor table while Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew trailed a little distance behind them. Remus, a sandy haired, blue eyed prefect, slid into the seat across from me, and next to him sat Peter, a small, mousy boy with light brown hair and pale azure eyes. James Potter sat down at the seat next to me. Potter had unruly black hair that I absolutely could not stand. His brilliant hazel eyes peered playfully at me over his wire spectacles. Sirius, like James, had lustrous black hair and intense grey eyes. The air of arrogance that hung around these two boys did not go unnoticed by the rest of the students. Girls from every year waved and winked while passing these boys in the corridors, hoping to reel in one of the dynamic duo. All four boys stacked their plates up high with the house elves' delicious cooking. I groaned in disgust as I watched them shoved the food into their mouths at top speed, stopping only to take a sip of pumpkin juice. Looking up at me innocently, Potter wiped his mouth.

"Something the matter, Evans?"

"You lot eat like a load of starved pigs." I spat out, wrinkling my nose in displeasure.

"You say that like it's a bad thing."

"It's repulsive!" I turned away at his insufferable smirk to load my plate up with sweets. Pudding, pumpkin pasties, and chocolate fudge filled my plate. The only thing missing? I reached over Alice and plucked the last treacle tart off the plate. As I began to eat, I noticed James had finished his plate and had taken to watching me eat my pudding.

"Can I help you, Potter?" I raised an eyebrow as I moved onto my pumpkin pasties.

"Is there any more treacle tart?" He asked. He was trying to act nonchalant, but I could tell his voice was a bit strained. I looked around.

"No, I think I got the last one." I stared at him out of the corner of my eye as I took a sip of my pumpkin juice. James' forceful stare was fixated on my treacle tart. His eyes began to gloss over as he gazed at my treacle tart with such longing; I thought he was frozen in his yearning state. His bottom lip was quivering. Potter's behavior was so strange that I just decided to ignore him and engage Remus in a conversation about our Transfiguration homework, leaving the rest of my plate untouched.

"Oh, only a foot! How am I supposed to fit all the information on only a foot of parchment, Remus?" Sirius laughed.

"Only you, Lily."

"What is that supposed to mean?" I demanded, a bit offended. Sirius opened his mouth to answer, but James interrupted.

"Are you going to eat that?" The sudden question caught me off guard. The look of confusion must have shown on my face because he clarified, "The treacle tart." I looked at him. He was looking up at me through his eyelashes with his mouth in a thin line.

"Why?"

"Because, well, if you're not going to eat it, I mean, I might as well just take it, because, um, you shouldn't waste food, after all?" The end of his explanation seemed more like a question to me. James cleared his throat and scratched the back of his neck.

"Oh. Well, I suppose you're right." I looked away awkwardly. There was a pregnant pause.

"So are you?" Potter raised an eyebrow.

"Um…" He was looking at the treacle tart like it was the new broomstick in Quality Quidditch Supplies.

"Actually… I reckon…" The hopeful expression on his face was too much, I nearly started laughing.

"I'll eat it."

"What?" James looked as if I had Stupefy'd him.

"I said, 'I'll eat it.'" I told him slowly. Sirius barked out a laugh.

"That was brilliant, Lily! You really had him going there!" Potter still hadn't moved. I decided to make a show of eating the last tart that James was so captivated with. First, I inhaled its sugary sweet scent.

"Mhm. This smells heavenly." I breathed. Letting out an over exaggerated sigh, I peeked over at James. He was still staring at the treacle tart. I languidly licked my lips.

"I can't wait to devour this yummy treacle tart!" His breath hitched, and he began taking shallow breaths. I smirked inwardly. Potter was completely under my control. I closed my eyes as I took my first satisfying bite of the sweet. Chewing slowly, I moaned loudly.

As I snuck a quick look through a slightly open eye, I saw Alice, Frank, and the Marauders staring at me with various expressions on their faces. Peter and Frank looked extremely bewildered, and Alice hid an amused smile behind her hand. Remus was shaking his head in disbelief, and Sirius looked beyond pleased. Only James had that same intense look on his features focusing on my mouth.

Before I knew it, he had knocked the tart out of my hand. While I was stunned, his lips swiftly descended down on mine. Eyes widening in shock, all I could see were James' long eyelashes behind his spectacles. His lips were soft against mine.

I closed my eyes and put my hands on his shoulders before he pushed me away, ending the kiss too soon. Before I had opened my eyes, James had bolted out of the Great Hall leaving me with blazing cheeks, hundreds of interrogations, and the incessant whispering of my heart.

So? How was it? I will, ultimately, have to have a few more chapters until it is finished, but should I do each chapter from Lily's and James' point of view? Or should I just stick with Lily's point of view? Let me know what you think! Review!
