Chocolate

She knew that she was going to start crying before she actually started. She could feel the telltale prickling in her eyes. Breathing was becoming more difficult and soon the gasping started. Her eyes filled with water and tears would start pouring shortly.

"I would recommend leaving now Potter unless you'd like to deal with a crying teenage girl," She told the boy who stood a few feet in front of her.

He gave her a withering look. "Don't try to pull that sort of rubbish with me," He told her.

She covered her face with her hand and her voice wobbled. "I swear to Merlin, Pott-" Her voiced cracked as she tried to say his name.

That was when he began to take her seriously. Or at least, kind of seriously. "Ah Evans, don't cry," He said, sounding slightly annoyed.

She moved her hand away from her face, shooting him an incredulous look with puffy red eyes, tears making tracks on her face. She walked toward him, grabbing a textbook that was laying on the table. "Don't-" Smack! "Take-" Smack! "That-" Smack! "Tone-With-Me!" She continued beating him with the textbook even after she finished yelling.

"Merlin above, Evans!" He yelled back, tearing the textbook away from her hands. "Would you stop hitting me, and would you stop crying!"

"You think I'm crying because I want to?" Her voice wavered, and she only cried harder.

"Then what's the problem?"

She glared at him, tears still falling, but her breath was no longer labored. "You, git. You're the problem."

"I didn't even do anything, all I said was 'Hey, Evans!' and you started yelling and then you started crying! How is that my fault?"

"Can't you bloody well leave me alone, yeah? Is that too difficult?"

"Merlin, are you always this emotional?" He looked at her biliously.

"Go to hell, Potter," She snarled.

"As long as you're not there," Came his rebuttal.

She huffed, and plopped down on the coach of the Heads room they were in. Her attitude was one of surrender. "Are you going to leave?"

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong?" When no reply came from Lily he continued. "Then no."

"Do you at least have chocolate?"

He gave her an odd look and then his face slowly morphed until he had a cheeky grin on his face. "Oh, is that what this is about? I Evans pmsing?"

"I will curse you into next tuesday!" She groaned, her face in a pillow so as to not let James see the red that was spreading across her cheek.

"Why didn't you just say so?" He got up from the coach and a few minutes later he arrived with large boxes of chocolates.

She opened one of the boxes and began to laugh. "James! They're all half-eaten!"

He gave her an astonished look. "Well how else are you supposed to know what's inside them?"

She grabbed one of the chocolates filled with raspberry and began to eat it, smiling at him showing all the goo left over on her teeth. He laughed. "See Evans, we could have skipped the whole fighting if you'd just said you wanted chocolates."

She nodded. "I'll have to do better next time I suppose."

"Next time?"

"Oh yes, Potter. I am going to eat all of your chocolate. Beware."
