James pawed halfheartedly at his alarm clock, but the constant ringing made him grab his wand and mutter the silencing spell. He knew Lily hated it when his alarm woke her up, except on the days she showered. James was instantly awake as the sound of running water reached his ears. One thing he loved waking up to was Lily singing in the shower. Although he'd never admit it, she was pretty good.
He sat in his bed until the water stopped, and he stepped outside into the Heads' common room. He ran a hand through his hair as the bathroom door creaked open. There clad only in a towel stood Lily, her wet red hair curled around her shoulders.
"Morning." James said, trying and failing not to stare below her face.
"M-morning, James." Lily stuttered, her cheeks burning red. She quickly rushed into her room, and her door closed over with a soft thud. James was happy to have caught her wearing so little; her reaction pleased him greatly as well. He went into his room and was very busy...putting on his Quidditch gear.
He took his broom from the corner and went to tell Lily he was leaving when he saw her door wasn't closed. There was still a bit open and through it he saw she had discarded the towel. She had one leg on her bed, leaning away from him putting a plaster on her foot. He couldn't help but gawk at her. He had quite a nice view of her bottom, and the curve seemingly repeated themselves twice a tad higher. And her delicately smooth skin, marked here and there with patches of frec-
"JAMES POTTER!" Lily shrieked, snapping him from his admiration of her body. She scrambled for the towel and covered herself as best she could. If her face was red before, she was absolutely scarlet- mostly from embarrassment but also from rage. The nerve of him!
"GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!" she cried exasperated, grabbing her wand and pointing it at him threateningly. James' face had gone from in awe to in fear and quickly shut the door. He winced as he heard a Stupefy Charm hit the wood. He grabbed his broom and fled the scene as Lily buried her face in her hands.
~~~LINE BREAK~~~
James, Sirius, Remus and Peter sat in the Heads' common room. Lily came through the portrait-hole, and the Marauders looked up from the Map.
"Mischief Managed" Sirius muttered as James greeted Lily:
"Evans! Bad weather today, hmm?" He was of course referring to her disheveled hair, still with specks of snow caught in between. Sirius let out a snort. Remus looked up from his book, and rolled his eyes. Peter just smiled and looked at Lily.
"You could say that." she said, going over to recast the spell to re-light the fire. Sirius nodded.
"We're lucky not to have been caught in that storm during practice. You had to fly all around the school to find that snitch!" he chuckled.
"You're lucky not to have been caught! I don't think Headmaster would like his Head Boy nearly destroying a stained glass window." Remus chastised him.
James merely shrugged. "I'd do it again, the view was amazing." He said, throwing a wink in Lily's direction. Her face flamed red, and she hurriedly stood up.
"If you don't mind, I think I will be heading to bed. Good night." She crossed the room to her door. She shut it, clicked the lock, and muttered a protective Charm on it.
"What did you do to her?" Remus asked, a stern look on his face. Sirius was chuckling at Lily and nodded. "What happened?"
James shook his head. "Not telling."
Remus backed off, and changed the subject. He glanced up at the crescent moon. "Do you guys know when the next full moon is?"
James smirked. "Hopefully, soon."
