"Hey Evans!" an annoyingly familiar voice filled the hallway "What Potter?" I replied in what I hoped was a frosty way and continue walking, hoping that if I ignored the irritating boy he'd leave me alone. 'Yeah,' I thought 'just like you've been ignoring his good looks, his smile, the way he makes your heart flutter and how you love the way he compliments you at every opportunity lily,' damn my subconscious… maybe if I was nice just this once…
"So I was wondering if you'd study with me lily flower?" damn that charming voice! "Maybe James- Dammit- Potter!" there we go, I might as well jump in the coffin and get in the grave now, curse my ridiculous ability to put my foot in it! "James Dammit Potter is that my new pet name?" he asked catching up to me and slyly slipping his arm through mine. 'No no no no no no' I thought although my head was about to give in to my heart. "No Potter we aren't at that stage yet, but I will be civil and I will study with you" I said trying to be aloof but I think we both knew I was failing. "Yet? What does that mean my beautiful petal," he asked, again I found myself cursing at my mouth. "Nnn… Nothing" I managed to stammer "I'll see you in the common room when we both have that free period" I said walking off to my charms lesson.

I sat down on one of the squashy chairs in front of the fire with my text book, why had I agreed to this? I decided to ignore his presence and focus on studying. Fat lot of good that did, he fidgeted and paced and then started to practice transfiguring parchment into little tiny hearts, it was quite sweet really… if you liked that sort of thing of course! The only thing was, I did like that sort of thing and I did like James Potter, very much! "James, could you stop that please it's very off putting" I asked nicely "But lily your being equally off putting" he whined "how is that possible James? I'm sat here reading!" I said slightly irritated "lily how could I not be distracted your stunning!" he declared coming to sit on the couch next to me. I ignored him, or at least tried to, but that wasn't easy with his arm sliding around my waist! 'Relax and resist Lily, relax and resist' I repeated in my head but by this point I could feel him tracing shapes on my side. "James," I said hesitantly "I'm not sure I can study with you doing that" I hoped I had sounded slightly flirty, what was the point in resisting? "Then don't study!" James laughed pulling me up and twirling me into his arms. I giggled and that giggle grew until I was laughing with glee. And then I saw the look on his face. He was leaning in. 'Oh no' I began to think but by that point his lips were on mine and I was kissing him back, that was of course until I heard wolf whistles. I twisted around bright red to see the marauders laughing and cheering. "Trust them to ruin the perfect moment," I sighed not realising I was speaking aloud. "The perfect moment hey?" James asked, I couldn't do anything but blush.
