Lily Evans whined, battling her lashes in a deliberate flirtatious manner. "Come on, Sev. You promised. You're not about to welsh on a bet, are you?" Severus regarded Lily. She was currently using a most unfair method of wheedling.

"I do recall the bet was dependent on you." He remarked eyeing her. "I won," she paused. "Besides we didn't say what the winner would get. So I get to choose anything I want."

Severus asked, "Within reason, right Lily…Lily?" She ignored him, pulling him across the grounds and towards the lake. "Are you sure you were sorted into the right house," he muttered. Lily stuck her tongue out at him but continued to drag him along.

They sat by one of the many trees on the grounds, relaxing against a tree trunk. Severus was trying to ignore the fact that she was sitting between his legs, her back free of its usual black robe. It was certainly a sun lit day; the weather was warm but breezy.

Lily settled more comfortably against him, unaware of the boy's discomfort. After all she was busy admiring the squid. Its tentacles were rowing back and forth, propelling it slowly around the lake. "That looks like fun, don't you think?" She quizzically leaned her head back

Lily could feel Severus' adam apple bob up and down, her own face betraying a certain warmth at their sudden proximity. He looked down at her and nodded, too terrified to actually utter a word.

She sat up quickly, hiding her blush behind a mane of red hair. "Since I won, you have to do what I say." Lily said, adjusting herself so she was face to face with him. "What do I have to do?" he asked.

"Meet me in the library after dinner." She replied, with that she tweaked his nose and ran off. Her laughter carried on the wind and back to him.

Severus spent the better part of the day, wondering what Lily had up her sleeve. She was a Gryffindor by nature but the way she acted, he suspected inside her beat the heart of a Slytherin.

He was mentally preparing himself for whatever she had up her sleeve, when he turned the corner and nearly lost his dinner. James Potter and Sirius Black had Lily cornered.

An intense hatred boiled in his very being at the sight of James' peacock performance. "So, Evans you studying late?" James asked, running a practiced hand through his messy black hair.

Lily rolled her eyes clearly not impressed. "What gave me away, standing outside the library or the books in my arms?" She said snidely.

Sirius let out a bark of laughter, earning a cross look from James. "Excuse me, Severus wait up." she said making her way past the gob smacked brunettes. Severus stood rooted to the floor, his face showing every bit of surprise at being addressed by her.

"Let's go, were already late." She exclaimed, taking his arm and propelling him forcibly down the nearest staircase. Severus began to protest, but was silenced by the fire in her normally cool eyes.

Severus did turn back slightly, just enough to send a righteously placed smirk to the boys standing open mouthed behind him.
