A/N: This one was really fun to write, and I'm looking forward to posting it. I've written the next 5 or 6 chapters already, so I'll be updating a lot now, and I'm always open to prompts or requests, I want to explore different pairings. Anyways, enjoy!


Sustained Craziness Just Becomes History

"Ah me! Love can not be cured by herbs" - Ovid

"You're not allowed to skip steps; you know that I have tiny legs!" Lily exclaimed, rushing after James as he raced her to the top.

He jumped a few steps up and looked down, "You were doing too well, and I had to cheat to get ahead!" He chuckled, waiting for her at the landing of the Astronomy Tower.

"Why we chose to race up Hogwarts' longest stair case, I'll never know. I'm positively wiped," she breathed heavily, her eyes bright with excitement.

"Because darling, you can do amazing things here, like watch the stars," James' muttered dreamily, his gaze fixed on Lily.

She fingered his tie playfully, slowly moving closer. "Oh really James? You wanted to come up here to, watch the stars?" She hovered inches away from his face, her arms resting delicately around his neck.

"Lily, you're a tease of the worst kind," he growled, before dropping his head a few inches to kiss her thoroughly. His arms wound around her waist, moving her towards the wall. Resting on the cool stone, Lily trailed her fingers into his soft hair, as his hands danced along the small of back, pulling her as close as possible.

They broke apart moments later, both struggling to catch their breath. Lily looked shyly at James, her hair disheveled, robes rumpled. The soft moonlight made her skin almost translucent, and her eyes shine a million times brighter. She seemed an angel to James.

"I really do think I've fallen in love with you," he whispered, as he softly pressed his lips against hers.

Lily looked up abruptly, her eyes widening a touch at his ardent declaration. Pressing her hands against his chest firmly, she replied.

"Don't say you love me unless you really mean it, because I might do something crazy, like believe it."


A/N: A bit nervous about this, so reviews would be helpful!
