"No, no, no," he pushed out in a jumble. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Why he couldn't get anything other than that powerful two-letter word out of his mouth, he didn't know. Perhaps it was because, after all these years of his wanting what was happening now, it was, well… happening! She had denied him for seven years, and now she was snogging his face off in the deserted Astronomy Tower? I don't think so, he thought sceptically.

"What do you mean 'no'?" she queried suspiciously. Has he gone bonkers? "Was it not you who has stalked me since I stepped onto the Hogwarts Express, begging me to go out with you?"

"Yeah—"

"Did you not have Alice lure me into the Common Room in the middle of the night so that you could practically blind me with fireworks that screamed 'Please be my girlfriend, Lily Evans'?"

"'Course, but—"

"Did you not punch Carl Sanders in the mouth because he asked me out, or turn Luke Farris purple because he kissed me?"

"Yes, but—"

"What's wrong with you, James? We're in the bloody Astronomy Tower, for Godric's sake. I have you backed up against a wall. Why are you saying no?" she interrupted.

"That's just it! We're snogging in the Astronomy Tower, and you have me against a wall and… Merlin, Lily, three of the buttons on my shirt are undone! Are you under the Imperius or something? Are you mental? Are you even Lily?" he cried. He began poking and pulling at her face at the last question.

Lily glanced at the buttons that she had, unbeknownst to her conscious mind, undone. Did I really do that? she wondered in disbelief. Pushing the thoughts out of her mind, she swatted his hand away and replied, "Yes, I'm really Lily. How do you know I haven't just changed my mind?"

"Because you'll never change your mind!" he exclaimed knowingly. "Seven years! Does that mean anything to you? Merlin, I knew you'd never say yes at the five year mark, but I kept chasing you anyway! Why are you kissing me?"

"Because, Potter, I really have changed my mind, as impossible as that sounds," she responded with a smile. "But I guess if you want me to stop…" Lily bent down to grab her bag.

The knapsack, however, was pulled out of her hand by a certain James Potter, who then pressed his lips to hers. After what seemed like an eternity, he pulled away and said, "I never said that."

Just a one-shot I thought up because I'm bored. Reviews are appreciated!
