Lily opened her eyes a crack before quickly shutting them in protest. A large ray of sun was beaming straight through the open window and onto her. Wondering vaguely why she might have left her curtains open yesterday, she suddenly noticed that her arm was in fact not lying across the sheets but... ACROSS SOMEBODY'S CHEST. She pulled her body away quickly in sheer surprise, but she had yanked away a little too quickly and a second later landed with a thump on the floorboards. Realisation suddenly dawning upon her she pulled her upper body up off the ground and stared around the room, James Potter's room that is.

Lily's mind began working overtime trying to recall events from yesterday, the Quidditch match, lockerooms, the roof all flashed in her mind and she groaned and a sick feeling began to emerge in the bottom of her stomach – what had she done last night?

Peering over the top of the bed she looked at him lying there, the idiot hadn't even woken up when she landed on the floor, even though she'd taken half of the bedding with her.

Quickly scrambling up she stopped momentarily to rub her knee, before making her way to the bathroom door, she need to get out of here, as quickly as possible, before James woke up and she was forced to deal with one of the most humiliating situations known to man.

She took a last glance back at him still lying fully clothed and fast asleep, before twisting open the bathroom doorhandle and closing it as quietly as she could behind her.

However, the scene before was no better than the one she had just been forced to escape.

"Sirius!" she yelped, "what are you doing in here?"

"Good morning my pretty Lilykins" he said grinning at her through the shower screen, Lily made a mental note to thank god for the effects of steam on glass, which were currently sparing her of having to deal with a very traumatic view of Sirius in his birthday suit.

"Black, get out" she said crossing her arms, "this isn't even your dormroom! Why are you showering in here?" she continued, having forgotten that James was asleep in the next room.

"Well technically you can't talk because I'm pretty sure the room that you just came out of isn't yours either" he said turning off the tap and reaching to grab his towel hanging from the top of the screen.

"Well this room happens to be my bathroom thank you very much, not yours, why aren't you showering in your own?"

"Frank was vomiting in there, and I needed to have a shower" he said shrugging as if breaking in and having a shower in somebody else's bathroom was the most natural thing in the world.

"Couldn't you have waited, till he'd finished?" asked Lily still slightly in shock at he morning she was having.

"No you see, I happen to have a detention today" he said emerging from the shower the towel now fastened around his hips, "and before you say anything witty about me and filch, today I'm going to be joined by a lovely friend of yours"

Lily had decided that it was too much effort to try and reprimand him seeing as her head was aching and she was certain that soon James would wake up, and right now he was the last person in the world she wanted to talk to, closely followed of course by Sirius.

"Anyway back to our conversation about why you were emerging from a certain somebody's room just earlier" said Sirius walking over to the basin.

"Shut up" said Lily deciding to leave the bathroom and get away Sirius and James for that matter.

"Those clothes are looking a little wrinkled I guess you had to re-dress yours-"

Lily slammed the door behind her stopping momentarily as the full weight of last night's drinking hung over her before she walked over to her closet pulling some clean robes out and exiting to go back to Gryffindor tower and be comforted by her friends on the awful night she had had.


"So your telling me that in the space of 48 hours, you've managed to flirt with, then kiss naked, then have a fight with, then kiss again, then vomit in the presence of and finally fall asleep in the same bed as James Potter?" mocked Annabelle combing her hair.

Lily grabbed her pillow and held it over her face which was burning bright red, "well it sounds awful when you put it like that" she said her voice muffled by the pillow.

Lily let out a groan in exasperation, Annabelle and Alice had been refusing to talk to her or share any of their pepper-up potion with her until she'd told them everything that had happened with James.

"Lily why don't you just admit that you like him?" asked Alice looking up from her transfiguration homework at her.

"But I don't!" said Lily pulling the pillow of her face, "he's an idiot and he's arrogant, and, I don't know, he's just James Potter"

"While I don't deny and appreciate the fact that you are a fantastic liar to teachers, don't even try that with us" said Annabelle shaking her head.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore, I hate him, you know it, the whole school knows it, it's just a fact, last night was just a drunken mistake, he's an idiot" said Lily trying to change the subject.

"Liar" said Daisy, "you guys have been flirting non-stop since the moment we got off the train"

"Daisy that was two weeks ago " said Lily

"My point exactly" she said laughing, "the last week especially has been constant anticipation, waiting for you guys to jump each other" she finished laughing and having to duck as Lily sent her pillow flying towards her.

"Come on" said Annabelle, "no-one's blaming you, no girl at Hogwarts would actually willingly protest to having that body up against them"

Lily was turning red again now and seeing as she'd sent her pillow in the direction of Daisy's head, she now had nowhere to hide, "Shouldn't you be leaving for your detention now anyway?" asked Lily, hoping to try and turn the conversation away from the topic of her and James.

"God don't remind me" she said jumping off the bed and grabbing her scarf, "It's just plain cruel to make a person endure the presence of Black for such a long period of time, let alone without anyone else to talk to" she said shrugging her shoulders and exiting the room.

"I'm soooo hungry" groaned Daisy rolling onto her back and grabbing her stomach.

"Well go down to breakfast then, you're not the one who has to avoid Potter and can't even go back to her own head dormitory" said Lily complaining.

"Don't be so melodramatic" laughed Daisy, "you can go back you just don't want to, which is really your own fault"

"I know, i'm an idiot" said Lily defeated and laying back on her bed.

"I'm confused" said Daisy sititng up to mock her, "Were you an idiot when you were kissing him or an idiot when you voluntarily got into his bed?" she continued laughing, "or hang on, do you mean you were being an idiot when you flirted with him in the bathroom?"

"All the time!", she exclaimed, "hang on, how do you know I was flirting with him when we were stuck in the bathroom together?"

"Well firstly, I don't think I've ever seen you and Potter in the same space without yelling or flirting, and seeing as we didn't hear anything breaking than I naturally assumed it was the flirting" she said smiling, "Oh, and I also had a little conversation with Black in which he detailed a very interesting situation involving you, Potter and a straddling position"

Lily just glared.

"Heey" said Alice pausing from writing again, "you never finished our dare from the other night now that I think about it".

"come on" said Lily, "that was soo unfair you guys know I'm awful at cards, and honestly how is wearing Potter's underwear going to make accomplish anything?" she continued exasperated.

"Nope" said Alice sitting up, "a dare's a dare" she continued smiling.

"Please let me do something else, anything else" she said pleading with them, "I'm not talking to him, and it's humiliating, and I don't want to have to go get a pair, and .."

"Shut up Lily" cut in Daisy laughing, "I tell you what, if you go and get them right now, you only have to wear them tonight".

"fine" said Lily sitting up, but this is beyond embarrassing, and I promise I am going to get both of you back!"

"mmhmm" grinned Alice returning to her transfiguration.


Lily racked her mind trying to find an explanation for the last two days and her ridiculous flirting with Potter. What was wrong with her? Since Daisy had mentioned it, she couldn't stop analyzing the last two weeks. She was head girl! She was Lily Evans, why was she fawning over James Potter, of all people!

Lily was so caught up in her thoughts as she climbed out of the portrait hole that she walked straight into Merrythought and was sent sprawling to the ground sideways.

Rubbing her side as she stood up again, she'd just managed to pick up her wand when she caught sight of Merrythought's face.

Not having ever been any good at concealing her emotions, Merrythought saw Lily's disgusted facial expression and snapped at her,

"Don't look at me like that girl" she said sharply, absentmindedly bringing her hand to her face.

Lily couldn't help it, she just stared at Merrythought and her face which looked as if it had been plunged headfirst into one of Slughorn's cauldrons, covered in blisters and oozing boils.

"s-s-sorry Professor" she finally managed to stammer at her.

"well watch where you're going then, a head girl should be more responsible!" she snapped again before taking stride and walking off before Lily even had time to rearrange her face from one of shock.

Not really knowing how she was going to get a pair of James's underwear first of all without him knowing and second of all without actually having to see him, Lily having finally reached the head's portrait hole, clambered in and just hoped for the best.

"Hi Lily" said a nervous looking Peter as she entered.

Lily holding her finger to her lip shushed him and mouthed 'Is Potter in there?'.

Looking confusedly around the room with a dumbfounded look on his face before turning back at her Peter didn't' answer just continued to stare.

Deciding to ignore the idiot Lily just took a deep breath and marched up to James's room flinging open the door and walking in.

Not even taking time to question them about the cauldron filled with murky water sitting next to James's bed, Lily just put on a calm expression.

"out!"

"ahhh Lilykins" said James grinning at her, "hate to point this out to you, but this is actually my room"

"I know" she said matter of a factly, "but I need to get something"

"did we leave a little piece of clothing hanging around last night?" laughed Sirius

"shut up Sirius, shouldn't you still be in detention anyway?" she snapped her arms instinctively finding place upon her hips as she smiled at them.

"are you saying you don't enjoy the presence of my company?" mocked Sirius as he stood up and added something to the boiling potion.

"seriously" she said, "just leave the room for two seconds and then you can come back in and we'll all be fine, I just need to get something".

"Why don't you just tell us what you want to get" smiled Remus looking at her from his perch on the bed.

"We'll leave if you go out with me" laughed James.

"Potter I'm not even going to bother responding to that" she said shaking her head, "plus if you don't leave this instant than I might just happen to let it slip to professor Slughorn the reason for the absence of a jar of his fairywings, oh, and of course I'll have to alert McGonagall to the bubbling cauldron" she said gesturing to their concocution which James was currently bending over ot examine.

"first of all Lilykins" James said straightening up and once again grinning at her, "you should know by now that detention.. not exactly a threat, and secondly, you're forgetting to remember that I happen to have stored rather a lot of information that I think you'd prefer no-one else to know about" he said tapping a finger to his head.

Lily just glared at him.

"I tell you what" he said laughing at her now frustrated expression, "we'll leave on the condition that you sneak out with us next time".

"Potter I already said I don't want to go on a date" she sighed at him, even though a little part of her was already yearning to say yes.

"You know you're right," Sirius cut in, "she is getting a big head" he said referring to yesterday's breakfast.

"I didn't say I wanted to go on a date" said James, "I just said that you had to come out with us"

Lily eyed him waringly, "you have to promise you're not going to pull a prank on me though"

James pretend to cross his heart

"Or embarrass me or let me get caught" she added.

"Promise" said James still grinning.

Lily paused for a second, "fine" she moaned, "but you all have to get out".

"Wooooooo" yelled Sirius jumping up from his place next to Remus, "Lilykins is coming out" he yelled simultaneously picking her clean up off the ground and twirling her as she wrestled to get free of his grip.

"Put her down Sirius" said Remus getting up and making his way towards the door.

Sirius finally dropped her and left the room, as she straightened out her robes again James walked past ready to exit the room but before he did he stopped inches away from her

"I'll give you two minutes" he said quietly, "It's alright though because I think I already know what you're looking for" he finished winking at her and then the next second disappearing out of the room.

Waiting for the door to close properly, as soon as it clicked she whipped around and went and shut the bathroom door and fishing out her wand from the bottom of her robes muttered, "Colloportus". If she was going to actually go rummaging through Potter's draws and get a pair of his stupid underwear then she didn't want Black bursting in and commenting.

Striding over to the chest of draws she yanked open a couple before finally opening one filled with various boxershorts and t-shirts. Glad that noone else was around to have to witness her humiliation she took a couple of moments to choose which ones to take. Not that a girl could help it, she figured if she was going to have to wear them around all night then she might as well choose a nice pair.

Finally extracting a red pair from the bottom of the drawer she rolled them up and placed them in the interior pocket of her robes. Shutting all the drawers to make sure no-one knew that she'd been looking through them she was about to unseal the drawers when an idea sprung upon her.

Twisting carefully she undid he back of her bra, and removing it carefully from the inside of her shirts she readjusted her robe and slipped it into her pocket, making sure that a section fell over the edge. If she was going to have to go through this humiliation then she might as well have a little fun and play with Sirius's mind while she was at it. Plus, this way none of them would be in any doubt of what she'd left in James' room.

"Alohamora" she said unlocking the door and striding out

"Byyeee" she trilled pratically running out of the common room just as she heard Sirius yell,

"No thank-you?" said James lazing on the couch as she maneuvered her pathway so that Sirius could see what was hanging out of her pocket.

"Oh my god Prongs did you sleep with he-"

But luckily for her the portrait closed with a gentle bump and she was spared from having to listen to Sirius bug James for information, not that anything had happened. But Sirius would obviously be in a spin.


Lily closed her eyes before fluttering them open again and continuing on her pursuit to be able to actually take some of the information in her transfiguration book in. She was alone in the Gryffindor common room and had spent the better part of the day avoiding all he friends so she wouldnt' have to be taunted about wearing James' boxers. She'd also been avoiding her own common room as to have to deal with Potter or any of his sly hints. She was ready to return to her book however, the next moment her plan seemed to be in disarray as a huge flame spread across her page.

Jumping in her seat Lily dropped the book on the floor looking up to see a grinning James Potter standing in front of her.

"Relax Evans" said James reading her shocked expression and leaning down to pick it up, "It's only an imp"

Lily looked at his confusedly

"Imp tarts" he said as Lily continued to stare at him still confused, "honeydukes, breathes fire" he stated slowly as if she was the most stupid person to have walked the earth.

"Oh" she said startled at having her book been momentarily on fire.

"Annnnyway" he said jumping onto the couch next to her and slinging his arms over the back of her chair,

"Dangerously close Potter" she warned flicking through her book to try and find her page and simultaneously attempting to stop a red colour rising up in her cheeks.

"Soo I think it's been almost 24 hours" he said ignoring her warning, "and I am yet to enter a bathroom, or for that case wake up in one, to find you there, I must say it's extremely disappointing after so much…fun"

Lily was ready to retort, however was saved from the sudden entrance of Annabelle closely followed by everyone else all of whom were talking and yelling to try and overhear each other over the various conversations.

Lily and James were both turned staring at them, and the rest of the commonroom seemed to have quietened down, straining to listen in. Alice seemed to be the first person to stop talking staring straight ahead at where Lily and James were sitting, the fact that there was only four available seats suddenly occurring to her. Within seconds the rest had noticed to and Lily and James were suddenly bombarded as bodies sprinted and launched themselves over them in various attempts to gain seats.

After much yelling, prodding, pocking, scratching and arguing Lily found herself squished against James, Peter lying grumpily on the floor, Frank on an armchair and Sirius sitting on Alice who was in turn sitting on a very disgruntled Daisy.

"So who's seen Professor Merrythought today?" asked Sirius perfectly happy and pretending as if nothing was out of the ordinary.

"Sirius get off or I swear I'm going to hex your arse straight off your body" said Daisy from underneath Alice.

"Ohh I have she looks disgusting" piped up Lily leaning forward slightly to look at Sirius and ignoring Daisy's continued complaints, "What happened to her?" asked Lily excitedly

At this James laughing

"What?" asked Lily

"You were really drunk last night weren't you?" said James continuing to laugh as the rest of the group turned their attention to the conversation.

"What do you mean?" she said suddenly confused and feeling a little embarrassed, desperately hoping he wasn't going to bring up the fact that she woke up this morning in his bed.

"You threw the hex at her" he said between laughing.

"WHAT!" screeched Lily turning to look at him, which coincidentally was actually quite difficult considering that they were squished together.

"Lilykins, hexing a teacher" cut in Sirius who was still perched on top of Alice and Daisy, "I'm impressed" he said grinning.

"Oh God" she said burying her face in her hands.

"Last night after she walked away you threw the hex at her and went sprinting off in the other direction" said James

"I like it" said Sirius, "Imagine what she'll be like next weekend!"

Lily just closed her eyes, this had been the longest weekend imaginable and it was not helping that she was squished up against the most gorgeous boy in existance wearing none other than his boxers. All within the space of a weekend she managed to turn into a crazy person flirting with an idiot and hexing teachers. She didn't even want to think what next weekend would be like.
