A/N : Yeah, I wrote chapter 2 straight away, because I'm feeling a bit giddy and I have nothing else to do…

Disclaimer: I once again, have not succeeded in being J.K.Rowling.

On September the 1st, Lilly was feeling nervous, this was the start of her final year at Hogwarts.

She double checked everything in her trunk, making sure she had everything she needed, she stood up, smoothing out the imaginary creases in her shirt and jeans.

She looked towards her clock, it read 8:37.

Great, she thought, she began pacing her room, checking her trunk every so often, making sure she had everything she needed. She took out the letter from her desk drawer that told her she was to be Head Girl, one of her proudest moments. She fingered the badge in her pocket, a wave of excitement crashing over her.

As 11oclock was slowly creeping towards her, she stepped out of her parent's car, promising to write to them every week, and to study hard this year.

She raced towards the Kings cross station, grabbing a trolley, and hastily putting her trunk and her belongings onto it.

She walked casually over to the barrier between platforms 9 and 10, platform 9 and ¾. She leaned casually against the wall, and as discreetly as possible, fell through.

Brushing herself off slightly, she looked up to see if she could see either of her friends, Alice and Charlotte. After finding that she could not, she got on the train, and found and empty compartment to change into her new robes, figuring she'd have to go down to the top compartment, to address the new prefects.

At 11:20 she made her way towards the top compartment, hoping the new prefects weren't going to be a handful, like the 6th years were last year, also wondering who the

new Head Boy would be.

Sliding open the compartment door, she first saw some very nervous looking 5th years, then the 6th years, then stepping further into the compartment, she saw a tall boy, with messy dark hair. He turned around with a huge smile on his face.

Lilly thought he looked positively gorgeous, but then, concentrating properly, she turned a deep shade of red, and felt the air in her lungs freeze.

It was James Potter.

"Potter!" she said sharply, "what are you-"

She looked down, and there on his chest, was a perfectly polished gleaming badge, that even she couldn't mistake.

James Potter was Head Boy.

"Lilly! Glad you decided to join us, I've just given out the timetable for patrols, would you like to explain to the new prefects what this involves or shall I?" James said while given her his usual slanted grin.

Typical Potter she thought, always either trying to make a move on her, or trying to make a fool of her.

She looked him up and down, and realised she started feeling quite hot, his hair was longer then usual and messier then ever, he had slight stubble on his chin, and his eyes still had that young boyish sparkle to them. His sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing those strong arms again, his tie loose.

She shook herself slightly, realised she'd just been staring, and made a mental note to not ever look at Potter like that again.

"What…you?! But why? You can't be Head Boy! Is this some stupid prank Potter?" Lilly said harshly.

James shook his head, looking slightly hurt, but the corners of his mouth were still curled into a smile.

Perfect, she thought as she slammed the compartment door shut, exactly the person she needed to ruin her last year.

She hastily grabbed the patrol lists from James, making sure their hands didn't touch, but James wouldn't let go, she looked up at him expectedly, seeing the smile on his face, knowing he was enjoying this.

She stood awkwardly for a moment, looking into his eyes, until a 6th year cleared her throat loudly.

"Potter!" Lilly muttered through gritted teeth, "give me the damn papers."

James let go, never letting the grin leave his face, and Lilly turned round after taking the papers, to tell the new prefects what they had to do in different situations.

She felt a hand on her waist, stopped suddenly, feeling slightly embarrassed, turned around to tell Potter to get his filthy hand off her, but upon seeing his hopeful expression, his boyish smile, she had a sudden idea. This year wasn't going to be easy for him either, she looked at him, and smiled back, then turned around to carry on addressing the prefects.

After she had finished, she started tidying up all the papers left from the meeting, when she felt a finger softly trace down her spine. She shuddered, goose bumps rising throughout her body, she knew it was James before she turned around, what she didn't know, however, was that James was going to grab her, and start pushing her slightly towards the compartment wall, never leaving the incredibly close proximity.

As Lilly felt herself being pressed against the wall, she started to blush, growing hot. Their bodies were touching; she could feel more or less everything of his body pressed against her, if she moved her head forward just an inch or so, she'd practically be kissing him. She could feel his warm breath on her face, taking in his smell. She looked into his eyes; they seemed to be burning with a hungry passion.

She tilted her head sideways slightly, was about to learn forward, not being able to stop herself, when the responsible part of her almost screamed in her head to stop what she was doing. She pushed him away, feeling a little more than embarrassed.

"You know Lilly, for a second there; I thought you were going to kiss me." James said with a grin.

"For a second there so did I" Lilly gasped. What on earth had she just said?

James looked at her, wide eyed, hardly daring to believe what he'd just done, well what he'd just got away with really, and what she'd just said, he watched her as she fled the compartment, looking like a redheaded blur.

James smiled; she was possibly the most stunning redheaded blur he'd ever seen. He let out a very audible sigh, and made his way back to the marauders compartment. Just as he was sliding the door open, Lilly slammed hers shut.

She stood with her back to the door, breathing heavily; she's never felt so… so physically close to someone before.

She tried to calm her breathing, and noticed as Alice and Charlotte exchanged worried looks.

She began to speak, but upon noticing a small smile creep up on her face, she realised something.

She'd enjoyed it too.
