Just another short and sweet Jily fic. Enjoy!
It's about time!
The corridor was deserted. James and Lily were doing their patrols and they were halfway down the charms corridor, James stopped. He started to stare out the window at the crescent moon. He smiled to himself. "You,me the moon and an empty charms corridor. If I told my fourteen year old self that I would ever be in this situation, I probably would have fainted" He chuckled. His face fell slightly , "But it's not like that now. We're friends. Nothing more nothing less." He smiled, but Lily knew how much it was hurting him to say those words. Lily saw his face fall again as he turned back to the window. She walked over to him and gently slipped her hand in his. He gripped it softly. "What's wrong James?" Lily asked gently. Suddenly James ripped his hand from hers and he screamed "YOU KNOW WHAT'S WRONG! YOU ALWAYS HAVE!" He turned away quickly and breathed in deeply and turned back around. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have screamed". Lily looked slightly startled but accepted his apology all the same. "It's okay.". James walked up to her and Lily could tell he was still frustrated. "It's just I never know where I stand with you. Never. Forget what I said before about us being friends. Because I don't even know Lily". Tears began to fall from his eyes and Lily just stood there feeling completely helpless. "I'm sorry James. I never knew you felt so frustrated about it.". She was shaking. James moved closer. "Why won't you just admit it to yourself. You love me and I love you. There's nothing simpler." He moved closer. James was close enough now that Lily could feel his breath on her neck. It sent shivers down her spine and she was fighting her instinct to kiss him right there and then. "It was you, Lily, always you. All those girls I went out with, they meant nothing. Because from the moment I saw you when I was a stupid arrogant little first year, I knew there would never be anyone else but you". Lily couldn't hold back anymore. She kissed him with all her might, tears coming from both of their faces. Then out of nowhere Professor Mcgonagall, appeared from around the corner. "Oh my goodness!" She squealed, and the two teenagers jumped apart, both of their faces as red as the Gryffindor crest. Mcgonagall, spoke up finally, to the red faced head boy and girl. "And about bloody time too" and she went off around the corner again. James let out a huge sigh. "I love you Lily Evans, and this moment, this one right here. Getting caught snogging in the middle of the Charms corridor only to be found by MacGonagall, will always be my favourite moment." Lily let out a half sob, half cry, "I love you too. And I'm so sorry it took this long for me to realise." James took her in his arms and gave her a hug. "I would have waited forever Lily." He kissed the top of her head and breathed in deeply. He then suddenly threw his head back and gave out an almighty groan. "Ohhh nooooo" Lily looked up at him, concerned. "I'm going to have to tell the guys about us. Do you know how long they've been making fun of me about you? 7 bloody years" Lily laughed and looked up at him. "I love you. " she smiled. "I love you too" James replied.
