Chapter Four
A mischievous grin appeared on Kirst's face.

"All right. Let's go back to my quarters to talk about this. We really need to make a plan. Lay it out and everything."

All three hurried down through the hallways, exchanging smiles and looks all the way, though Ro seemed sort of shaky. They arrived back into the large, round room and entered the door next to Lily's.

The room they entered looked basically like Lily's, but it was filled with Kirst's stuff. Lily hadn't had a chance to unpack yet.

Kirst hurried over to her desk and pulled out a writing board, a piece of parchment, a quill, and a bottle of ink. She hurried back to the bed where her friends were sitting and sat down cross-legged. Placing the bottle of ink in the well of the board, she dipped the quill in and wrote at the top:

The Plan.

Lily and Ro rolled their eyes. It was so typical of Kirsty to make up the most unoriginal titles and names. Her owl was called Feathers, and her pet Siamese cat was called just that – Siamese.

Kirst paused, and looked at her friends.

"Well?" she asked. "I can't be the one who comes up with everything."

Lily suppressed a groan. Kirst always was the one with the starting ideas, but other than that, she couldn't think up anything at all. Lily grabbed the writing board, careful not to spill the ink, and placed it in her own lap. Kirst pouted but scrambled over to look at what Lily was writing.

"Well, what makes a 'hot' girl?" Lily asked, looking at the blank piece of parchment.

"A good body," Ro said.

"Yeah, good looks," Kirst continued.

"Perfect hair and make-up."

"Good clothing."

"Attitude."

"Aloofness."

"Good relationship skills."

"Knows how to flirt, kiss, et cetera."

Lily sat back, smiling contentedly. She had put down all the things they had suggested, with a little room under each to fill in extra things that they could do so they could fulfill that particular quality.

"Well, for a good body, we could always work out and get a tan at the beach," Lily said, putting that down under the right subheading.

"I could always hire a personal trainer for us," Kirst offered. Lily nodded, and wrote it down.

"Hair and make-up, we could find in magazines and things like that," Ro said. Lily wrote this down while Kirst said, "We could always get our own personal make-up artist to teach us about clothing, make-up, and hair."

Lily looked up at her friend, halfway through writing what her friend said.

"Kirst, where are we going to get the money to do that?" Lily asked. "For good personal trainers and make-up artists you need to pay a lot of money."

Kirst grinned. "That's where my parents' gold is going to help."

The three laughed and continued, although Ro and Lily exchanged uncomfortable glances. They knew that Kirsty was from a very rich family – her father was from an esteemed Pureblood family, and her mother was a Muggleborn witch – but if they allowed Kirst to do this, they were going to have to join in on the pay, too. Ro's family was not what you called rich, but they weren't in poverty either. Both her parents were Halfbloods, and came from Hong Kong, their parents moved to London for them to get a better education. They met at Hogwarts and married soon after – they were not surprised to find that their daughter would be attending their school.

Lily was of the Muggle-born middle class. Her parents had a mediocre income, and ever since the beginning of their friendship, Lily would feel uncomfortable whenever Kirst would offer up her money. Usually it was on trips they planned to do together, or gifts which Lily could not repay. Lily frowned and started scribbling away with her quill, making the decision to ask Kirst about the price of this sort of help later.

"Attitude," Ro said, looking up thoughtfully. "I could always look for books of that sort." Books – always Ro's answer for everything.

"For attitude?" Kirst scoffed. "No – all we have to do is rent a whole lot of chick flicks and copy what the popular girls do."

"That's a good idea," Lily said, writing down Kirst's idea. Ro nodded, knowing that that was an easier and far more entertaining way to get down this attribute.

"Aloofness is under attitude…" Lily mumbled, scribbling away. "What about good relationship skills and flirting? How are we supposed to find out stuff like that?"

Kirst grinned. "Easy. I'll teach you."

Ro's jaw dropped. "What?"

Kirst shrugged. "I've been in more relationships than either of you," she pointed out. "I probably have more skill in this kind of stuff than the two of you put together."

Lily frowned in annoyance, but she knew that Kirst was right. Lily sighed.

"What do you want us to do then?"

"Well," Kirst said, her face getting serious. "There are a lot of different types of flirting. One of them is…" she paused for dramatic effect. "Eye flirting."

Lily rolled her eyes. "Just get on with it," she growled.

"Well, all you really have to do is look at him until he finds your gaze. Hold his gaze for about two seconds, then look away and pay attention to whatever you were doing before. This will pique his curiosity and make him glance at you more often. After awhile, find his gaze again, hold it longer, and smile. Then turn back to whatever you were doing again. If he's smart, he'll understand and come over to talk to you. Then you can start properly flirting."

Lily and Ro's ears were ringing with this Flirting 101 course they were getting. They tried to understand what Kirst was saying, knowing that Kirst's temper could easily rival Lily's.

"When you flirt with a guy, smile a lot and show off a little of your neck. Don't do it too obviously – you'll look like an idiot who can't control your head. Touch him on his arm when you get comfortable. Play with your hair. Just do small things for him to pay attention to you. Be playful or something. If you want him to kiss you, bite or lick your lips. If you're sitting, crossing and uncrossing your legs will attract his attention. Just don't do it too much."

Lily tried to organize all these facts that were being shot at her. Ro looked at Kirst, a little nervous.

"What… what if… we don't know how to kiss?" Ro blushed furiously, her bangs covering her eyes.

Lily and Kirsty looked at their friend, surprised.

"You've never kissed before?" Kirst asked, hugging her friend.

"No… you know that Hufflepuff guy I told you about? He… tried a lot to kiss me forcefully… so I guess I've always been afraid of kissing… He got so fed up with me that he broke up with me," she gulped a little bit, burying her head into Kirst's shoulder. Kirst shushed her, still hugging her friend.

"That's why you never told us why you guys broke up…" Lily murmured. She looked at her friend, rubbing her hand on her back comfortingly. Now Lily regretted not pushing the subject further. Her friend had carried on fine, but Lily could see the pain in her friend's eyes after the breakup. No one breakup was ever easy, but Lily felt guilty for not helping her quiet friend when she could have.

After a few silent minutes of comforting, Ro sat up, blinking her eyes. "You alright, Coconut?" Kirst asked, in an attempt to cheer her up. Ro smiled tentatively and nodded. Kirst looked at Lily, but for some odd reason, Lily wouldn't meet her gaze.

"What's wrong, Lily?" Kirst was alarmed. It was enough that one of her friends was sad – now another one was sad as well! It was too much to ask of her. Kirst patted Lily's shoulder and Lily blushed furiously.

"No, it's not that… it's just that I've never kissed a guy before, either." Lily flinched as she came out with this little confession.

Now it was Ro's turn to look incredulously at Lily. Kirsty shook her head.

"Wait – both of you have never kissed before? But I thought you dated, Lily – "

"I did," Lily said, defending herself. "I just only kissed them on the cheeks, never mouth to mouth."

Kirst looked at both her companions. "You both are nearly seventeen and you've both never kissed a guy on the lips before?"

Ro and Lily looked away in embarrassment. Kirst shook her head in disbelief.

"Ro, get over here," Kirst commanded. Ro slowly got up and sat in front of Kirst, not knowing what she was about to do.

As Ro finished getting comfortable, Kirst looked at Ro intensely.

And she leaned in and kissed Ro full on the lips.

Ro's eyebrows shot up but her eyes closed reflexively. Lily sat there, shocked to the core.

What in bloody hell? Lily thought. She frantically fought with herself over the decision to disrupt this uncomfortable situation but something stopped her from doing anything rash. It was all she could do not to gag on reflex from what was happening in front of her.

Kirst had a concentrating look on her face. Lily watched as Ro, too surprised to do anything but copy what her friend was doing, floundered in the kiss. After a minute, Ro finally got it and she seemed to understand what she was doing, although Ro did not lose the uncomfortable expression on her face that had been there since Kirst had placed her lips on Ro's.

Kirst broke the kiss and sat back, wiping her mouth on the back of her hand. Ro sat there, too shocked to say anything but watch Kirst sit back, satisfied.

"There," Kirst said. "You've got it." When Ro did not respond, Kirst hid a smile and said, "Shoo now. You're done."

Ro finally snapped out of it, and started stuttering nonsense. Kirst laughed goodnaturedly and turned towards Lily.

"Come on," she said, patting the space in front of her. Lily, still shocked and even more shocked at what she was about to do, sat in front of Kirst, not knowing what to do. The only thing she did know, though, was that she knew Kirst enough to trust what she was going to do.

"Give me your hands," Kirst said, holding her hands out. Lily hesitatingly placed her hands in hers before she was yanked into a kiss.

Lily didn't know that kissing was like this. She had always thought that it was just a sweet simple peck, but in reality the two participants actually targeted one of the other's lips. In this case, Kirsty had decided to aim for Lily's bottom lip. As Kirst sucked and bit Lily's bottom lip, Lily tried to figure out what she had to do. Lily started copying Kirst's actions on Kirst's upper lip. Soon she found herself doing it quite naturally, and after a little while, Kirst let go and sat back.

Lily opened her eyes, dazed. Suddenly her eyes widened in shock.

I just kissed a girl Lily thought frantically. Does this mean I'm… lesbian? She wiped her mouth and Kirst did the same.

"Good," Kirst said. "Now you both know how to kiss. Kind of. You were both pretty good."

"Okay…" Lily said, still shocked.

"So you guys got the basic technique down," Kirst said. "But you guys need to learn all the tricks, you know? So, Ro, get over here."

"Again?" Ro asked, voice shaky and quiet. Kirst rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to hurt you. I didn't do anything to you last time, did I?"

Ro slowly nodded. From her expression, Lily could tell that she had decided to trust her friend. She edged closer and placed her hands in Kirst's and leaned in.

This time, Kirst took the top lip. She started out slow, sucking on Ro's bottom lip deliberately. Then she started speeding up, and Ro had to follow. She slowed down again, and Ro had to adjust again. Kirst did this several times until Ro got the hang of switching 'momentums'. Then she did something surprising. She switched lips, so now she had Ro's bottom lip in her mouth. Ro frowned but kept her eyes closed. She kept kissing as Kirst repeated the slowing and speeding up process. Then she switched lips again. After switching lips three times, Ro got the hang of it and she had even attempted changing speeds and lips herself.

Kirst pulled back and Ro did so as well. They stared at each other and Kirst smirked. "Now you know how to kiss. And I do have to say, that was pretty good, even if I am straight."

Ro suddenly burst into a grin. "Thanks, Kirst," she said.

Lily looked at her best friends, surprised, as they grinned at each other. Kirst turned to Lily.

"Your turn, Lily," she said with a mischievous smile and pulled Lily towards her.

Their lips collided and Lily found herself kissing Kirst's bottom lip. She knew what Kirst was going to do, so she was somewhat ready when Kirst suddenly sped up. Still sucking on Kirst's upper lip, Lily got an idea into her head. She licked Kirst's lip while sucking, not knowing what she was doing. Kirst moaned against her lip and Lily, although she knew it was wrong, kept doing the same thing. Kirst switched tempos and lips again. Lily continued to do what she was doing before. She got used to the switching of lips and tempos. Suddenly, in between switching lips, Kirsty pushed her lips against Lily's before licking Lily's lips. Lily reflexively opened her mouth and Kirst dipped her tongue in.

Holy shit, Lily exclaimed in her mind when she started frenching her best friend. Her friend played with Lily's tongue. Lily could feel herself being sloppy, and tried to get used to the feeling of this kind of kissing. Kirst licked the roof of Lily's mouth, and Lily couldn't help but gasp and attack her friend's tongue with a new vigour. Lily returned the favor by licking across Kirst's teeth and her gums, causing Kirst to shiver agreeably. Lily felt their tongues going every which way and she tried hard to kiss correctly.

Who knew that kissing involved so much technique? Lily thought as Kirst deepened the kiss and was now passionately snogging her best friend. After a while of this, Lily started slowing down and Kirst followed her lead. Soon they were back to sucking on each other's lips and finally, Kirst broke the kiss.

Lily's eyes popped open and she saw Kirst looking at her with pride in her eyes.

"That was bloody brilliant, Lily!" Kirst cried, grinning happily. "You're going to get Potter for sure!"

"Really?" Lily asked, a little shy. She couldn't help but keep thinking that she had just frenched her best friend.

"Yeah! You're pretty good at this. And your frenching wasn't as bad as a would-be first timer's."

Lily grinned happily, glad that she actually had a bit of skill at this sort of thing. She turned to look at Ro, only to blush again.

"Woah," was all Ro could say. I can't believe I had just watched my best friends snog one another! she thought frantically. She couldn't get the image of them out of her head, shocked that they had taken this little experiment to a whole new level.

"Ro, here," Kirst commanded, and Ro moved over. As Kirst started the whole process all over again, Lily could only watch, fascinated.

So that's how I looked like when I was snogging my best friend, she thought as she watched the little Asian girl and the dirty-blonde haired girl kiss passionately. She watched as they started frenching almost right away and looked on in amusement as Ro frowned, trying to get used to the feeling of tongue sparring.

Suddenly, Ro's eyebrows shot up. Lily grinned – it seemed that Kirst had just licked the roof of Ro's mouth. Ro's eyebrows came back down and she started kissing with even more energy than before. Now Kirst and Ro were about equal in their energy levels.

Now it was Kirst's turn for her eyebrows to shoot up. Lily leaned in closer to see what was happening before she realized that Ro had sped up the tempo and was leading the kiss.

Bloody hell, Lily thought, what was the world coming to? Lily was used to a quiet, timid Ro, not a Ro who was a leader and would french a girl willingly.

Slowly, the tempo of the kiss slowed down and they finally ended up breaking the kiss. Kirst grinned widely at both Ro and Lily.

"Ladies," she announced, "We are ready to get it on."

At this, both Lily and Romanda dissolved in a fit of giggles. Kirst moved over to where the forgotten writing board lay and she dipped the quill into the ink.

She held the quill poised over the list before letting it descend and crossing off 'how to flirt, kiss,' with one deliberate stroke of ink.

She left 'et cetera' unscratched.
