A/n: hey this is snochik21 here. I'm sorry this has taken so long to be updated. I've been busy with school and studying for finals. But, now that finals are over, I have time to write. Yippee!  but, I'm also on my high school swim team so, that takes up time as well and, with that, I'm not sure how often I will be able to write.  but, enjoy this chapter. If I get permission from marrie24, then I will also post this story on my page or try something. But, does anyone know what you do when you want to write a round-robin story? Do you have to create a different account and pen name? well, if anyone can answer those, thanks. Sorry this was long. Enjoy the seventh chapter. 

Lily's POV

I woke up early the next morning. I lay in bed for a few minutes, thinking about last night. I could still feel James' lips on mine. It was an odd feeling considering I used to hate him.

I decided to shower and dress. After that, I decided upon meeting James in the common room.

I saw him lying across the couch, reading. No doubt, about Quidditch.

"Good morning James." I said with a smile, getting his attention.

"Good morning Lily." James replied quickly.

He sat up and moved to one side, allowing me to sit in the space next to him.

"What are you reading?" I asked, desperate for conversation to break the awkward silence between us.

"It's called 'Quidditch Through The Ages' It's the history of Quidditch and shows different moves." He answered, quickly flipping through pages to show me.

I yawned and checked the clock on the mantel. Six thirty. We had an hour or so before classes actually started.

"Do you want to go to breakfast?" I asked.

I was getting hungry but I didn't want to go alone and I wanted James to come with me.

"Sure." He answered. "Are you hungry?"

I gave him a look that clearly stated it was obvious. He chuckled and smiled at me.

"Listen, Lily." He said.

"Yes?" I asked.

"About last night. I'm sorry. I didn't mean…"

"It's my fault." I cut in. "Don't apologize. It's not a big deal."

James looked at me.

"Did you like it?" he asked timidly.

Wow, James timid. Never thought I'd see the day.

I blushed. "I have to admit that I did." I replied quietly.

"Good."

I looked at him with question. He was an odd boy but absolutely wonderful. Wait; did I just say that about James Potter? Seems I did. It's true.

"I have a simple question for you before we go to breakfast, Ms. Evans." James said.

Did he just call me 'Ms. Evans'?

"Yes, James?" I asked.

"I know that I already asked you this last night but I wanted to make sure it weren't a dream and that you were serious." James let out a small laugh.

I smiled and a timid laugh escaped my lips. James was making sure my answer was serious? Shouldn't he know me by now?

I knew what he was going to do. It was obvious. He wanted my answer to be clear. An odd but wonderful boy.

"You, Lily Evans, seriously want to go out with me, James Potter?"

I blushed again. "I thought that would have been obvious." I replied with a smile.

He grinned. He put his hands on my waist and picked me up, twirling me in the air. He brought me back down as I was smiling and kissed me.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. He pulled me in closer.

We broke off, grinning like idiots.

"You really are a great kisser." He whispered.

"So are you." I said, blushing.

"Again, thanks for giving me a chance Lily."

"Hey. What else is a girl supposed to do when she realizes she likes someone she had hated before?" I said with a smile.

He didn't get it. I giggled and smiled at his expression and kissed him again.

"C'mon, let's go down to breakfast. I'm starving." He said.

He grabbed my hand and led me out of the portrait hole, a new couple.
