Whenever you kiss him
I'm breaking
Oh, how I wish that was me
He looks at you, the way that I would
Does all the things, I know that I could
If only time could just turn back
-I Wish - One Direction
"Hello" James said awkwardly.
"Hey, I just had the most awkward moment in my life." Lily said.
"What happened?"
"I was going to surprise you by hugging you from behind, but then you turned around and the guy with black hair and same height as you was not you. And he just stared at me, with my arms open ready to hug someone. And just I turned around and left without saying anything."
James laughed. "That's alright, if it was me I would have liked the surprise."
She smiled and hugged him. "You're much more handsome than that guy was." Lily chuckled "And I should have noticed that his hair wasn't as messy as yours."
He smiled and kissed her forehead. "Thanks Lils. But I try to comb my hair. The key word is try."
Lily chuckled and her hand found his, and they tangled their fingers, but pretended like that was nothing special.
"Come on, let's go?" She asked splitting their hug.
"What's the plan?" James asked smiling "We'll apparate in the Leaky Cauldron, and we'll walk to the museum alright?"
"Sounds great" he said and without any warning he apparated in the Leaky Cauldron.
"Thanks for the warning." Lily said sarcastically but smiled.
"Sorry," he said honestly. "are you okay?"
She nodded. "I'm great. Let's go" she said pulling his hand and walking out of the Leaky Cauldron to muggle London.
"I'm glad they didn't come." said James.
"I am too" said Lily to his surprise. "They'd just be annoying, just the two of us is way better."
James smiled. "I completely agree." Just the two of them was almost always way better.
"Let's hope they can explain you how the subway works, well in a simple way. I think that the subway may be a bit complex to understand."
"Ok, maybe not understand how it works completely only kind of" Lily smiled and nodded.
"To be fair, I don't know much about it either. All I know is that the London's underground was the first to be built in the entire world and that it was made because there were a lot of people that needed to come and go from the city and there wasn't enough roads for all of them so they just thought: you know what? We don't have enough space above the ground but we do have under it."
"Was that an exact quote of what they thought?" James joked.
"It was, and a really accurate one as you can imagine." they chuckled "James, you have a bump on your head, what happened?" She asked worried taking her free hand to his head to see it more carefully.
"It's nothing much." he shrugged though he was incredibly happy that: one- lily was worried about him; two- she noticed he was hurt, she must have been looking right? Right?; and three- well there is no need for a third one, two are more than enough!
"What happened?"
Damn it, he thought. She wanted to know how it happened... Well if he was going to tell something embarrassing, might as well try and be funny, but how?
"Well I was flying with Sirius, and then I saw something in the sky and I wondered what it was and then it hit me. It was my owl and it hit me." Way to go James, he thought, could you be any more pathetic? But she laughed, so it must mean that he wasn't that pathetic after all, maybe it was slightly funny and Lily being nice like she always is, she laughed about it. "But the owl is okay, so that's good."
"Poor you and poor owl." she chuckled.
"We both got out of it okay, that's what's important."
They got to the London Transports Museum, a large building that remembered Lily of a train station (which made sense since it was a museum of transports).
"Ready to learn, and if we see that it is too boring we'll sneak out of there." said Lily.
"You? Sneaking out? I think I'm a bad influence on you." James said and Lily laughed.
"Maybe you are, maybe I should stop hanging out with you, Potter."
"You wouldn't make it too long away from me, Evans."
"I could." she lied.
"Could you, really? Anyway if you tried to get away from me I'd have to talk to you because I can't stay away from you for too long."
"I don't think you'll have too. I like you too much to get away from you."
He kissed her cheek "It's nice to hear that, Evans."
And she blushed slightly and chuckled.
"Thanks for doing this." said James
"What?"
"Coming to the museum with me."
"If I didn't want to come I wouldn't."
"So you wanted to come to the museum with me?"
"If I say yes, you'll head get too big?"
"Maybe..."
"Well, I did want to come."
"My head is really big right now."
"Damn it I know I shouldn't have answered it."
"I can't help it if a beautiful girl tells me she wants to be with me." she blushed and chuckled looking down.
"Thank you." she said shyly.
"Don't get all shy on me just because I complimented you."
"I'm not." she lied, again.
"Why are you red, then?"
"I blush easily, it's not my fault I'm a redhead." She chuckled. "Now let's get in because we've been standing in front of the door for a while now."
He chuckled. "Let's get inside."
"How many means of transportation do you guys have?" James asked
"Some, but I think they also have some old ones so you'll get a full muggle transports history lesson."
"Don't call it a lesson it makes me want get out of here."
She chuckled "Obviously, let's make it brief so you don't get bored."
"Weren't you the one that said that if I was bored we could get out of here?"
"And we can. I'm just trying to avoid it."
After an hour they were returning home, not home because they decided to visit Marlene and Sirius.
They knocked at Marlene's door and she opened "Hey, great, you're here. There are more stuff we can do now."
"Let's play truth or dare." suggested Sirius showing up behind her.
James and Lily came inside the house. "That's a stupid game." said Lily.
"I must agree with Sirius, truth or dare is a fun game." James replied
Lily looked at Marlene knowing she liked to play Truth or Dare, especially if there were cute guys around and the guys weren't bad at all. "I'm gonna have to play ain't I?"
Marlene smiled sheepishly and nodded. "Of course you are, because you're a great friend."
"And you are a terrible one," she replied "but fine, let's play."
"Yay! I love you." Marlene kissed her cheek "And I'm sure they do too."
"It's even worse when there is no one else around." Lily said "The dares will be boring and people will play a lot more attention."
"Both my eldest and youngest brothers are upstairs, and I'm sure they wouldn't mind some dare with you" Marlene winked and Lily rolled her eyes and James was somewhere between sad and angry.
"Your match maker skills are worse than horrible, and it's weird that you'd like me to date your brother." Lily answered which made James slightly more happy.
"It would be awesome, we family. We'd be sister in law."
"We're like sisters already."
"That's true, but it would still be cool."
"I think you mean awkward, can you imagine me dating your brother, for real?"
"I can" Marlene's brother said coming downstairs "It would be quiet interesting." he winked "If you give me a chance I'm sure you'll think so too. And we'd have my whole family's approval for sure and I'm sure I can win your family over." as soon as he said this James wanted to punch him, he had no right to wink at Lily! Wink! At Lily!
"Hey Todd, I'm sorry but I'm not going out with you." she said kissing his cheek and laughing knowing it was a joke.
"Some day, Lily. Some day!" he chuckled and went to the kitchen, where he got out of there a few seconds after. "Hey, I just noticed you guys. I'm Todd. That's what you do to me Lily, you make me blind." He joked again.
"I'm Sirius."
"I'm James."
"Are you dating any of them?" He asked his sister.
"No, I'm not." Marlene rolled her eyes. "And if I was it wouldn't be any of your business."
"Lily, you wouldn't lie to me-"
"Yes I would, if I had a reason too."
"Of course, you lie to me every time you say you don't want to go out with me. Although I still don't know the reason."
She chuckled "Nope, that's the purest of truths."
"Is she dating anyone of them?"
"No."
"Are you?" He smirked.
"What if I was?" She smirked.
"It would break my heart and I'd have to hide in my room crying." He stated.
"Would you stop asking me out?"
"No."
"But I would have a boyfriend!"
"He wouldn't have to know." he wiggled his eyebrows.
"Oh just go back to where you came from."
"So... You're not dating any of them?"
"No."
"Yes!" He said and went back to the kitchen saying "Some day, Lily, some day" loudly, once again.
"Maybe my youngest brother?" Asked Marlene.
"What about none of them?"
"What a waste. Let's play now."
"What just happened?" Asked Sirius.
"Marlene is trying to get me to marry her brother." explained Lily.
"Who wouldn't mind marrying Lily at any given time." Todd said going back upstairs.
"You'd ask for a divorce after a day, or when I'd get moody for the first time."
"I would never leave you Lily" he said.
Lily laughed "You won't get a chance to anyway."
"Must I repeat: Some day Lily, some day!" He went upstairs.
"You got give him so credit for not giving up" said Marlene "Come on Lils, I want you to be a part of my family."
"You're so weird. Let's just play Truth or Dare."
"It's probably the first time I ever heard you say that."
"And most probably the last."
"Dibbs on being the first one to ask truth or dare." said Sirius as they sat in a circle and Marlene got them a bottle to spin.
"Yes! Lily-flower, truth or dare?"
"Why did the stupid bottle chose me?" She asked rhetorically "Truth"
Sirius thought about it for a while "What was the most embarrassing thing you did when you were drunk?"
"Ok, I want you all to know this was a dare, I don't stuff like this even when I'm drunk. I once stood on a counter of a bar and yelled 'I love you all sexy faces" and blew a kiss to the crowd." They laughed "One more reason to hate Truth Or Dare."
"And the best part was someone in the crowd shouted back 'We love you too gorgeous' and Lily's face was priceless before she answered 'Oh stop it you'." said Marlene.
"Thanks Marly, did you really had to tell them that?"
"Of course she had Lily-flower and after all he was complementing you, it's not embarrassing."
"Let's just spin the bottle so I can ask."
They bottle ended on James "Truth or dare?"
"Truth"
Lily thought about it "I'm terrible at this game, I can't remember of anything to ask."
"First kiss?" Suggested Marlene, obviously it had to be a romantic question... she decided she could give her friend a little, and very discrete, help on figuring her feelings, and maybe the first step to figuring that out would be feel an massive amount of jealousy towards James' first kiss.
"Sure, when and who was your first kiss?"
"Just a kiss? Or a proper snog?" Asked Sirius
"Does it make a difference?" Marlene asked.
"Yes, big difference." Lily said. "Just a kiss."
"Well that was in my first year in Hogwarts, the girl was Ally from Hufflepuff. She was cute." Lily felt a quick impulse to hex Ally from Hufflepuff but she told herself it was nothing. He spinned the bottle and it landed on Marlene
"Truth" she said even before he asked.
"Ok, any suggestions? Anyone?"
"Most embarrassing moment ever?" said Sirius.
"Sure."
"Damn it, we shouldn't have played this game." Cursed Marlene.
"If only you'd listen to me." said Lily.
"Spill it out, Marly." said Sirius.
"Ok, once someone knocked at the front door and I thought it was Lily, who was coming over, so I went to the door wearing only a towel... It turns out it was the pizza man."
"At least you got some free pizza out of it." said Lily.
"I want free pizza too." whined Sirius.
"I think you need to have boobs, arse and a little less beard."
"You girls get it so much easier."
"You've got to be shitting me."
"What, why?"
"We have it so much harder" said Lily "For a lot of reasons that you do not want to hear right now."
"Oh yeah, name three." said Sirius
"Just period covers all three of them: we have cramps, there is the constant worry that something gets dirty and we constantly have to go to the bathroom." said Marlene.
"That's gross don't tell me that." said Sirius.
"Ugh, please don't be so vivid in your descriptions." said James.
"That was nothing" said Lily, "Its much ,much worse. Plus you asked for it, Sirius, if you people listened to me when I say you don't want something, you'd be so much happier." Lily added.
"Well, you can't get kicked or punched in the balls." Sirius argued.
"I get it, that is a lot of pain but, you're probably not expecting this- and I will probably destroy the perfecti image you have of one of your favourite toys- boobs hurt." Marlene spoke.
"What? No!" said Sirius outraged "But- but- boobs are flawless. " he said with a sad look on his face.
"For you they are, not for us. You try to run with too weights on your chest that just go up and down and you can't hold them so that they won't bounce." said Lily. "Terrible."
"Lily-flower being as nice as I am, I volunteer to hold the while you run." Sirius smirked.
"Hey" James punched him in the stomach. "Show some respect, yeah?"
Lily smiled and kissed his cheek as a thank you. "Thank you." she looked at Sirius "You're such a pervert. That's one more thing we have it hard: we have to deal with perverts like you."
"But at least sometimes you have someone to stand up for you when that happens. When a girl is pervert I have no one to protect me." said Sirius
"You like it when that happens."
Sirius smirked "You've got a point, Lily-flower."
"I'm just going to spin the bottle." said Marlene.
"I choose dare" said Sirius before Marlene asked "Truths were getting boring"
"Okay, your dare will be... Try and do the split, and I don't care if it hurts you can only stop when you absolutely can't go any lower"
"That's pure evil!" Sirius gasped. "Marly, how could you?"
She smirked "Some say I should be in Slytherin."
As Sirius tried and do the split he started to curse Marlene "Oh this hurts to much, it's impossible for anyone to do this." He said when he was still like 20 inches way from the ground.
"I can do it." said Lily and Marlene at the same time and hi-5ed after.
"Oh yeah, prove it."
"Not with these jeans obviously." said Lily.
"Fine, but you'll have to prove it later." said Sirius.
"Whatever you say Sirius." said Marlene rolling her eyes.
"My turn to ask." he said and spinned the bottle. "So Lily-flower, truth or dare?" He asked with a grin.
"Truth."
"You're so boring." He sighted. "What was your first kiss?"
"I'm not telling you that, ask something else."
"The rules are that you have to answer the question."
"I'll choose dare then."
"It's too late now, Lily-flower. You have to answer."
Lily took a deep breath "Fine, but you should know that I hate you."
"You adore me." Sirius shrugged.
"Fine, my first kiss was in summer after first year."
"With who?" Sirius rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to tell you that."
"But you have to."
She glared at him "Its was Severus he kissed me, and it was awkward and terrible and we never ever, ever, ever talked about it again, probably because he knew I didn't like him back so I guess he just moved on." she said as quick as she could.
"Snivelly? He was your first kiss?" Sirius asked with a disgusted face while James just stared at her with a growing will to punch Snivelly as hard as he could as many times as possible and Marlene just hugged her and said "It'll be okay. I know it was traumatic but you'll be okay."
Lily chuckled "Don't mock, it was horrible."
"Wow you're not very lucky are you? Your first kiss was Snivelly?"
"No need to remind me of the painful truth." said Lily
"But you don't like him back right?" Were the first words that came out of James mouth after what Lily said.
"Of course not! Like I said that's why I think he never mentioned it again and moved on." the first part made James feel much better, he just didn't believe in the second.
"Moved on, right" said Marlene sarcastically, voicing James thoughts.
"Of course he did." Lily rolled her eyes "It's been six years and we haven't spoke in three. Well at least not on good terms. If he didn't move on by now, I'm afraid he never will." Lily joked.
"Lily, he still tries to apologise" said Marlene.
"One- I never did forgive him; Two- we were best friends, so its normal for him to still apologise; Three- a crush can only last so long."
"So you say." said Marlene, once again, voicing James thoughts.
"Let's just change the subject. Please?" Asked Lily and James thought perhaps it wasn't such a bad idea, thinking too much about Snivelly kissing Lily could not do any good to his mental health. "Actually, I think I'll be going home." She said.
"I'll walk you home." James stood up in a jump.
"We're going home already?" Asked Sirius
"You can stay." booth James and Marlene at the same time and for the same reason.
"You don't have to walk me home." said Lily to James. "I'm perfectly fine by myself."
"I want to." he smiled and making Lily smile.
"Thanks." she said taking his hand to help her up.
They bid Sirius and Marlene goodbye and went to Lily's house.
"It got really cold, didn't it?"
James took his jacket and put it around her shoulders "Don't say no to the jacket, I swear I'm warm"
"Thanks" she chuckled "So you're really are hot?"
He laughed. "You know me, I am so utterly hot."
She laughed. "Obviously."
"But if we think like that you shouldn't be cold either." He said looking at the ground
"Yeah, I should." She laughed.
"Should not! I'm outraged! How could you think like that?"
She chuckled and smiled at him "Thanks."
He put his arm around her shoulders "The truth needs to be said."
She rested her head on his shoulder "I guess you're finally finding out where I live. Please don't turn out to be a stalker, that would be a bummer."
"If I was a stalker, I could always follow my owl." he chuckled.
"I'm just going to thank the Lord I don't have stalkers." James wanted to ask what did she call Snape that seemed to follow her like a lost puppy trying to find a way to apologise, but he didn't say anything "Thanks for walking me home, again."
"My pleasure, Lils."
"So you like to walk in the cold?"
"I told you-" he started.
"You're right, I forgot you're too hot to be cold. I don't know how I forgot it's rather obvious."
"Exactly." he laughed with her "Plus it's always nice to walk with a pretty girl." he realized that maybe he was too obvious, but he didn't care as long as she didn't get mad... Plus he loved to watch her blush.
"Thanks." she kissed his cheek, it looked like this was her way of saying thanks now, and he thought he also loved that, so what was so wrong in telling her the truth? That she was drop dead gorgeous and, unfortunately, he wasn't the only one to think like that. "We're here." she said giving him his jacket back "Thanks for coming and for the jacket."
"Like I said, it was all my pleasure."
"And now you know where I live."
"Exactly, now I can stalk you."
"I'm very sorry to tell you, but I'd bore you to death."
"I'm sure you wouldn't." He laughed.
She smiled, looking him in the eyes before giving him a quick peck on the cheek and turning around to enter her home. "Goodbye James."
"Goodbye Lils" he waved before walking away to his own house.
