Chapter 10: James Kissed Me
Lily's POV:
When I woke up the next morning, it took me a moment to remember all that had happened the night before.
Patrolling corridors, getting cursed, James rescuing me, what he had said, the kiss-
I sat bolt upright.
James had kissed me.
It began running through my mind (James kissed me, James kissed me) but instead of being annoyed, I felt joy.
It was the only thing I thought of until lunch, needing to be asked repeatedly how to deal with a venomous tentacula by a very annoyed herbology professor and ignoring Sirius' many inquiries of what was wrong.
"Nothing is wrong," I wanted to say, "Everything is wonderful!"
But I didn't say anything and at lunchtime, after seeing a thoroughly confused Sirius and a still depressed James I came to my senses. What had I been thinking? I was Sirius' girl, I loved Sirius, not James!
And yet the thought kept going through the back of my mind incessantly.
James kissed me, James kissed me, James kissed me, James kissed me, James kissed me, James kissed me-
"Oh, BE QUIET!" I shouted. Everyone in the seats around me turned and stared. I blushed when I realized that I had shouted out loud.
"What's wrong, Lily?" asked Sirius, pulling me into a hug.
"Sorry, Sirius, I've just had something on my mind today," I said, knowing I couldn't tell him the truth.
He seemed to accept that I wouldn't tell him any more than that and went back to his pudding, feeding me spoonfuls every few bites.
I glanced over at James, whose ears turned pink. I tried smiling at him, but he had gone back to his own pudding. Then I remembered that he didn't know that I knew what he had said and done.
It was then that I knew what I had to do. It was time to win the ongoing argument with Sirius.
It was time for him to talk to James.
AN: Yes, I know that was short but there's more coming, I promise! I have chapters 11-15 written already, but you won't get them unless you review! This one's not much to review on, but still I'd like to know what you're all thinking.
