Prompt #8: our own world

"HA! Take that Potter!" shouted Lily Evans, as she checked his king.

James Potter stared at the wizard chess board in shock, this could not be happening.

"How did you do that?" he asked incredulously.

Lily smirked, "What can I say Potter, you're in my world now."

"Well it's one hell of a twisted world if you ask me."

"Nobody asked you."

"That's hardly the point, Evans."

"You're just sore because I'm kicking your arse."

"You are not kicking my arse."

"Potter, this is the third time I've put you in check."

"Ah, but have you put me in checkmate?"

"That's not the point Potter."

"Now who's sore, huh?"

"I'm not sore, I'm happy, in case you didn't notice, I'm kicking your arse."

"Must we go over this again? You are not, let me repeat that, not, kicking my arse."

"Oh yes I am," she said smugly.

James glanced at the board then looked back up at Lily questioningly.

"Okay, I'm still not seeing the arse kicking bit."

Lily rolled her eyes. "It's simple Potter, if you move you're bishop to take my knight and protect your king then my rook will come from the other side and put you in checkmate. And if you move that pawn to take my rook then your king is left open to my knight. Basically it doesn't matter which choice you make, I've already won."

James eyes widened and he hurriedly looked back down at the board. He studied it intensely for a few moments before sitting back in his armchair in shock.

"I don't believe it," he muttered.

Lily let out a loud 'whoop' and proceeded to rub her victory in his face.

"What was it you said to me when we started this bet? Oh yes, I remember, 'I've never lost to anyone Evans, so don't sulk when I beat you.' Well who's sulking now Potter!"

"I'm not sulking."

"You're totally sulking."

"Ugh. What happen to the quiet little Lily Evans who arrived at this school in First Year?"

"She had chocolate sauce poured down her robes when she corrected a certain James Potter in their first Charms lesson in front of the entire class."

"Oh, right, forgot about that."

"How convenient for you."

"Well I try."

"It's still you're move," she said, "I can't collect my winnings until you make your move."

James grimaced, "I know, I know, as soon as this game's over I'm doomed to two weeks of no pranks and being a model student and all that. My life is so difficult."

"Oh quite being melodramatic and move already."

James sighed and sat back up to finish the game. He reached out his hand to knock over his king and end it quickly when his eyes caught a glimpse of something on Lily's side of the board. He quickly pulled hi hand back and studied the situation carefully. Slowly and mad grin broke out over his face.

"Oh, you poor, poor, child," he said, "You've stumbled in to my world now." And with that he reached across the board and moved his forgotten bishop over to her king.

"Checkmate."

Lily looked a James, looked at the board, and then looked back at James who was smirking smugly.

"No way."

"Yes way."

"I lost?"

"You lost."

"No Way."

"You're repeating yourself Evans."

"Wait, this means that you won."

"That I did."

"So… I have to…"

James beamed, "Yep!"

Lily sighed; this was definitely an unexpected turn of events.

"Potter, do I—"

"A bet's a bet, Evans."

Lily sighed, "Oh, all right."

Lily pushed herself up from her armchair and walked over to James muttering under her breath about how this was all ridiculous. James just sat in his chair grinning like an idiot.

"Stand up Potter," Lily sighed as she reached his chair.

James obliged and waited for her to move. Lily hesitantly placed her hand on her shoulders and raised herself up on her toes until her lips brushed against his. They both felt a spark shoot through their bodies as their lips made contact and what was supposed to be an innocent little kiss due to a lost bet became much more.

Lily arms wound around James' neck and her fingers tangled in his messy hair while James' arms wrapped securely around her waist, pulling her closer to him. The kiss deepened and both completely forgot about being in the middle of the crowded common room, even as whoops and cheers broke out across the room. After the initial excitement that Lily and James were finally together had worn down, the two were still not separated, and the common room was filled with a bunch of uncomfortable students.

A Sixth Year prefect started over to the two to tell them to get a room when he felt someone grab his arm.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, mate," said Sirius, "They're in their own world now."
