a/n: I promised you guys a break from my magical updating skills, didn't i? Well I did also say i'd give you another reason to hate me. I had this chapter written, edited and ready, on time, but my stupid scatterbrain thought i'd already posted it. Then, I got a (wonderful) review asking me to update. And I sat, and got lost in Fanfiction. Later I thought I had updated it. Today, I realised that I hadn't and sat down and actually did it. (at least i hope i did.)
Disclaimer: i do not own this universe.

Previously on Wardrobe Malfunction:
I was jerked out of my chaotic thoughts by knocking on the door.
"Come in." i said.
Potter stuck his head in.
"You just had to get that shirt didn't you?"
I ignored him.
He gave me a one-over.
"Nevermind. Keep it. You look good." and he left.
There was an uncomfortable butterflies feeling in my stomach. I put it down to hunger.
And what does one do when hungry?
They eat.

The house elves are wonderful. You go to the kitchen and they are there, just for you. At least that's what my regular experience with house elves has been.
Except this time.
I entered the kitchen to be greeted by the ugly (absolute lie) faces of the Marauders.
"Hello." I calmly greeted.
"Lo, Evans" said Potter
"Hi!" chittered Peter.
"Hi Lily." said Remus.
"Hey, evans!" said Sirius, very enthusiastically. He looked at me for another moment. "Lookin' good!"
Potter smacked his shoulder. I threw a spoon at him. He dodged the spoon, which hit Peter, and grinned at me.
"So, Evans.. What is the cause of the delightful outfit of yours?" sirius asked, winking suggestively.
"Sod off, Black. It's none of your business ``I said.
"Ooooooohhhh! Nice one prongs!"
Catching on, I threw another spoon at him.
"If you must know, the Hogwarts Laundromat broke down. I didn't have any clothes to wear so.." I trailed off.
"So you borrowed James'" pitched in Remus.
"Yes. thank you remus." I said. Remus smiled.
"Why didn't you take your friend's clothes?" sirius countered.
"I will not stroll the hallways stark naked, Black." i said.
"I know someone who wouldn't mind," he winked back. Gesturing to James.
"Like i said earlier, shove off."
Then i went over to the house elves.
"Could you get me something to eat?" i asked them.
"Yes miss!" they all shouted and scampered to feed my stomach.
I went back and sat down next to Remus, the only sane one out of them. Minus to some level, Potter. Sirius, Peter and Remus all exchanged pointed glances and got up and left with some excuse.
I take back what i said about Lupin.
"Y'know guys. If you wanted to leave us alone, you could have waited until we left for the dorms." Potter called to them
I rolled my eyes.
"Nice shirt, Evans." he said.
I ignored him.
"Say, why didn't you just transfigure some clothes?" he asked.
"My wand is with McGonagall." i said, fiddling with the shirt of my- his shirt.
"Why?" he said, honestly perplexed.
"Never you mind." I snapped.
"Why didn't you ask me?" he continued.
"I figured you would just tease me or something." I responded.
"I'm afraid you have me mixed up with Sirius." he grinned. "James Potter, nice to meet you." he stuck his hand out.
Rolling my eyes, i shook it, ignoring the butterflies in my stomach, or the way his hand felt in mine, or the way- OH NO EVANS! THAT WAY OF THINKING! DISGUSTING.
I quickly dropped his hand. He smirked at me as though he could read my thoughts.
"Lily Evans.." he said, as though he was seeing how the words felt.
"That's me." I responded lamely.
He turned and grinned at me. "Funny."
"Oh, ha ha." i said sarcastically.
"Ha ha indeed." He agreed.
That's it.
I can't do it anymore.
"James, i have something to tell you-"
"Miss Evans! Mister Potter! Your food!" and an army of house elves cascaded into the space between us. The only time i was ungrateful was for elves.
And then I noticed something about them.
They were laden with food.
When the house elves left, James turned to me. "What were you saying?" he asked.
"Oh i don't remember." i said, flushing. I noticed how close he was to me. In one move, either of us could seal the distance between us. A little closer and his lips would be on mine.
"Well then. I gues i'll just fill in the blanks myself."
When he kissed me, i felt as though the world had ended.
And you know what? I didn't mind.
a/n: that's all for this story! If you guys want, i'll even do a sequel. I have it thought out, but i'm not sure.
Reviews are appreciated,
With love,
Marva
