A/N: This is momentuous for me, because it's the tenth chapter! The farthest I've ever gone with a story before is two chapters, so this is really nice for me. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, you're basically why I update! So, let's celebrate 10 chapters, over 400 hits, and 100+ visitors. This is awesome!
Okay, I worked on this one for a little bit of time, but I've had it saved on my computer for a while, so I thought why not. I'm posting it, because I'm satisfied, but not happy with it. It's really difficult for me to write romance, I find that I often fall into the trap of having everything sound too distant or fake. Even so, I gave it a shot. Share your thoughts!

She really couldn't stop talking. The silence was a little difficult to deal with. It left her with time to admire him. his eyes, hazel and alluring. Oh Lily, really! Get a grip! Just keep speaking! Lily blushed, ashamed of her momentary lapse into silence.
"And .. er ... yes, we should probably talk about Hogsmeade dates?" Lily grasped at straws, she was pretty sure they had already discussed this.
"We talked about that already, about four minutes ago? Lily, are you sure you're alright, I mean, you look a bit flushed ... " James was concerned, Lily had been spattering conversation all night.
"I'm fine! Just a little warm, that's all! Let's just ... er, pick up the pace a little!" She almost broke into a run, anxious to be anywhere else.
"Lily! Slow down!" James grabbed her arm, in an attempt to catch up.
Lily whirled around, trying not to look at him as she spoke. The desire to kiss him them might be too overwhelming.
"I was just trying to finish the rounds quickly you know ... er .. homework! Essays, reading, prac - "
And he kissed her.
Lily blushed again, but leaned in, wrapping her arms around James. She decided that words were unfortunate really, and that this was the best mode of communication.
