MONDAY

"Ready, Lils?" Alice asked her when they left the Heads Common Room. Lily had organized a sleepover, because James was with his friends last weekend. Just her, Alice and Marlene.

"Shut up, Alice. This is all your fault," she said while making a face. Alice and Marlene laughed.

"I already told you, Lil, I'm sorry. I was drunk," Alice apologized for what felt like the hundredth time.

"But you can't deny you look forward to kiss dear little Jamesie," Marlene teased.

'Hell yeah', Lily thought. But she said: "What the hell, Marlene? I hate that git! I really don't want to kiss him!"

"Keep telling yourself that, Lily. But you have to know, we all know how you look at James during his Quidditch practice. Admit it, you like him," Alice said.

"We all?" Lily asked.

"Remus, Peter, Sirius, Marls and me. Poor Jamesie doesn't notice it."

"Hate to break it, dear, but I don't like Potter," Lily discussed.

"That really breaks my heart," they heard from behind them. Without noticing, they made it to the Great Hall. When they turned around, they saw the Marauders in their full glory. Remus, reading a book and looking pretty amused, Sirius grinning like a madman, Peter looking like he had to pee and James staring at Lily's lips.

"I would say I'm sorry, but I'm not," Lily said, rolling her eyes.

"Says my girlfriend," James winked at her.

"I'm not – "

"Yes you are," Marlene said. "A whole month, remember? You agreed Friday night."

"You know what, Marlene?" Lily asked, turning to her best friend. The two girls made eye contact and Lily showed her middle finger.

"Evans!" Sirius laughed. "That's no good behavior for a Head Girl."

"Oh, shut up, Black," she said.

"Gladly. Now, Marlene, Alice, Moony and Wormtail, we'll leave the fresh couple alone for five minutes." When nobody moved, he clapped his hands. "Chop – chop! I'm starving here!" Slowly, the friends left James and Lily.

"So", James started when they were alone. "I thought we could start kissing now."

Lily thought about her promise to Alice Friday: "I dare you too date James for a whole month, starting on Monday. Kissing, holding hands, going to Hogsmeade together, everything. One month. After that, you can choose; staying James' girlfriend, or break up."

"Fine, I'll do it." Now she was forced to do as she had promised. Lily hoped he didn't hear her enthusiasm when she answered. "Yeah, maybe."

James grinned wildly and leaned forward for a kiss. It was just a peck, but he had felt how soft her lips were.

She closed her eyes and waited for the touch of his lips. It only lasted for one second, but she thought about one thing only: More. James Potter was an amazing kisser.

When he pulled back, Lily grabbed his tie and let her emotions take the upper hand. Maybe she was wrong. Maybe she did have feelings for this immature, annoying, hear ruffling idiot. Not that she'd ever say him that.

Her arms snaked around his neck and she pressed her body into his. He groaned lustfully and put his arms around her waist. He backed her into a wall and there they resumed their kiss until they had to break apart to take a breath.

"Wow," he gasped. "That was… something."

"Sorry," Lily breathed. "I… I don't know why I did that."

"Hey," James said friendly. "We're supposed to be in love. No need to apologize." But deep inside he grinned to himself. It was her who had kissed him so forcefully. It was her who pulled him back to her when he had pulled back. It was her who had taking control.

"Maybe – maybe we should go to breakfast," she suggested. He only nodded. She smiled and took his hand, dragging him along with her to the table where her friends sat.

I know, it's a terrible short chapter, but I'm also busy writing other chapters from other chapters, so… Hope you can forgive me! R-E-V-I-E-W!
