Playful Potter
Written for Sharlmalfoy's 'adjective challenge'. I got 'playful', if you haven't already guessed that.
Lily/James -- I pairing I'm actually not too fond of, nor have I ever written before so bear with me!lol It's also uncharacteristically short for me, but it was all I could manage xD
xCNx

She watched as the small snitch moved back forth between his hands, flying between the space so quickly that all she could recognise was a blur of gold. He caught it deftly each time, making a show of waving the snitch about when he caught a particular hard one. Of course, everyone clapped and whistled afterwards, being his obedient audience. They catered to his every whim, and that only served to feed his already inflated head.
It wasn't that Lily didn't like the boy, she just thought him to be rather egotistical. He thought every girl wanted him and every boy wished he was him. Which was somewhat true, but not fact.
Lily didn't fancy him. No, she was much too sensible to fall for someone so reckless. He never did relent in tormenting her, constantly asking her out and using pathetic chat-up lines he and Black thought were Hil-ar-ious.
He grinned at her from his seat beside her, "Come on, Evans. Don't you like a little fun?" He waved the snitch in her face, "If you keep scowling like that your beautiful face is going to be permanently damaged -- and what a shame that would be, eh? Come on, be a little adventurous."
Lily shook her head, looking at him in disbelief, "Why are you always so--so.."
"Irresistible? It comes naturally," He shrugged.
She seemed to finally find the word she was looking for, "Playful?"
He sat up in his seat, "Playful?"
"Yes, playful. You're always messing with something, making fun… playful. It's strange, because you should--"
"Playful isn't a word you use to describe a man, Evans." He explained condescendingly.
"Man? Oh you wish, Potter." She snorted, "Playful is the perfect adjective you describe you, actually." she tapped her chin thoughtfully before laughing, "Playful Potter!"
James frowned, "You're sticking to that?"
"Oh yes, Playful Potter is here to stay! Maybe I'll call you PP or something. No, I'll stick with the proper version--"
Suddenly leaning forward, he wiggled his eyebrows at her, "Want to get playful with me then, Lovely Lily?"
A sudden burst of anger rose within her, "You twist everything, Potter!! Ugh, I can never win. You always find some way around everything!!" She threw a pillow from the common room couch at him furiously before storming out.
Sirius Black sat down beside James as Lily stormed out, "Wha….?"
James smirked and nodded, "She wants me."
"Whatever you say, mate. I still think Snivellus has a better chance,"
"She thinks I'm playful,"
Sirius stared at him for a few minutes before replying sarcastically, "I'll organise the wedding then."
"Yeah-- I want the banner to say , "The Playful Potters--Lovely Lily and … Juicy James."
A/N: I'm having a horrible block, I can't seem to write anything so I'm sorry for the poor performance there. :s
