A/N: Just something random I spewed out while on my Jily kick. This gonna be like a 2 shot, and if not, just like a 3, no more than that.
Ah, Jily. Jily and Hinny are what makes the world go round, am I right?
(I'm right.)
A piece of paper slides next to me.
Marlene.
Of course.
I open it and it says, Stop gawking and day dreaming about Potter and actually pay attention to Professor Flitwick, Queen of Charms.
I am not daydreaming about Potter, Marly.
Sure you aren't, Lily.
When did you get into the conversation, Dorcas?
I invited her.
Of course you did.
We can't let the opportunity to tease you about James pass, Lily. It's to fun to watch you blush.
Dear Merlin. What am I to do about these two?
Imagine how happy he'll be when he finds out you were day dreaming about him, Lily. He'll be ecstatic.
You are not to blab a word to him, Marlene McKinnon.
Ha! You just admitted you were day dreaming about James! Nice move, Marly.
Thank you, Dor. I pride myself on it.
Hey maybe we should bring Mary into this conversation.
No! Don't you even dare!
Too late, Lily. Here I am. And I hear you're day dreaming about James.
Don't listen to them to, I am not.
She is.
She fancies him.
I do not!
Hey maybe she's in love with him.
She probably is and doesn't realize it.
I think she does, and she doesn't want to admit it. She's scared.
I am NOT in love with James!
Defensive much?
Guys, Flitwick is getting angry, I think he sees us passing notes. We better antagonize Lily after class.
Needless to say, even though we had stopped passing around the parchment, I still got smug looks, smirks, and goofy grins from Marly, Dorcas, and Mary. (I resolved to staring at James even though I'd never admit it to anyone.)
Charms ends and I hastily grab my bag and throw my stuff in it.
I could feel James' eyes on me, and I knew my cheeks would begin to heat up.
"Lily, are you alright?" Marlene whispers to me. "Uh-oh. Incoming!"
Sure enough, behind me stands James Potter, stupid grin and everything. And sure enough, my cheeks heat up.
"You alright, Lily?" He asks me, his grin getting even wider.
"I'm fine." I'm careful not to trip on my words around him.
"I'll see you later, Lily, I have to go." Marlene gives me a wink, then says, "Later, James."
"Bye, Marly." James doesn't break eye contact with me, and I begin to notice that the entire classroom is empty expect for the two of us. I begin to get extremely nervous.
So I'm just going to say it now, even though you probably already know this.
I fancy James. And it doesn't help that I've spent every waking moment with the prat for the last 3 months. We're Head Boy and Head Girl and we have a whole bunch of things we have to do together, so I've begun to understand that's he's not as horrible as I used to think. This is why we are currently in this predicament where I fancy him.
Damn.
"…but honestly all they want to do is shag, so I don't think we should allow them to switch- Lily! Are you listening?"
I quickly notice that James is actually talking to me, and I attempt to listen to what he's saying.
"Huh?" I shake my head a little, "What were you saying?"
He looks at me a little irritated, but says, "Amos Diggory asked if he could switch patrol with Remus. Remus has patrol with Emmeline Vance."
"And?" I ask, not sure what the problem is.
"All they want to do is shag." He states as if it's obvious, which I realize it rather is.
"Oh." I nod. "Yeah, you're right. I'll tell Amos later."
He studies me for a second, and I feel my breaths getting longer and heavier under his stare. His beautiful hazel eyes lock with mine. His head tilts slightly, and moves closer me, but I back up a little.
"You alright, Lily?" He steps closer to me his eyes dancing with anticipation. He does not break eye contact, and he begins to realize what he's doing to me. He steps a foot closer, and I back up again.
"Y-yes." I find I can't help but stammer now, my nervousness around him is growing by the minute, and I begin to have the sudden urge to kiss him.
His lips curl up into a small smirk, and he quickly closes in on me, and pushes me up against the wall. My breath and words catch in my throat and I find my arms are against his chest and his against the wall, barricading and preventing me from moving. All the while, the urge to kiss him grows stronger. His face is mere centimeters from mine, his lips just a brush away. My breathing quickens more, and his smirk widens.
I think he's about to kiss me, and I accept it. In truth, I want him to. The urge must be released somehow.
He leans in like he's about to and removes his hands on the wall only to place the firmly on my back, but his lips go to my ear.
In a deep, husky voice, he says, "I think you fancy me, Flower, and I kind of want to kiss you right now. Although, this sexual tension thing is rather fun."
My eyes widen, and for the first time, I can't look at him. I squeeze my eyes shut and begin to say something, but when I open my eyes, he's gone.
I walk out of the Charms classroom in a daze, not sure what exactly just happened.
"Lily!" Marlene shouts my name from down the corridor, and I turn sharply. Marlene is running towards me, high speed and everything. She's got this excited look that only means that she wants the gossip on what I've been doing. She skids to a stop in front of me and says rather loudly, "Did he kiss you? Wait! He snogged you! I know it!"
I cover her mouth with my hand and pull her away from the students giving us strange looks. "He didn't kiss or snog me, Mar," I snap/
"You look strangely disappointed about that." She notes, a grin spreading across her face while she bounced up and down, bobbing her silky blonde hair up and down.
I frown because I know she's right. I am disappointed about that. I really wanted him to kiss me. I'm not going to say that to Marlene, though.
"It doesn't matter." I say.
"Oh, but it does, Lily. It really does." Marlene giggled rather girlishly, laced her arm through mine, and dragged me off to dinner in the Great Hall.
As we entered the Great Hall, I dully note the fact that no one is watching me, and that pleases me, for I really don't want to repeat the previous week, where the story was that James and I were in a broom closet together snogging.
Given, we were in a broom closet, but we were out on patrol, and we thought there was someone in there. So we opened the door, but no one was in there. I looked into the closet. James then proceeded to trip, knocking us into the broom closet. The door shuts. And we're trapped. We can't open the door. Not even by magic.
Needless to say, some random 5th year found us, not even a prefect, so he got detention. But then he spread it everywhere, completely ignoring the fact that I repeated various times why we were actually in there.
So James and I were the talk of the school for that week. The weekend seemed to calm things down, for everyone seemed to forget about James and I being locked in a broom closet come Monday morning.
Marlene and I sit down next to Dorcas and Mary once we reach the Gryffindor table.
"Oh!" Dorcas looks about ready to burst out of her seat when she sees us, bursting with news. "Alice and Frank are engaged!"
This news excites me, for Alice and Frank are good friends of mine and members of The Order of the Phoenix; a group of people dedicated to stop Voldemort. A group I, Marlene, Dorcas, Mary, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter all plan on joining once we leave Hogwarts.
"That's great!" I smile and nod, and attempt to listen to what ever Marlene and Dorcas are chatting about, but my mind –not unlike other occasions- is wondering to James and what ever happened in the Charms classroom today. I could still feel his hands on my back. I could still hear his voice when he confronted me about my feelings towards him.
Though, lately, those feelings seemed stronger than just fancying him.
I think I've fallen in love with him…
