Author's Note:

Satans Little Princess asked me if I was writing more so I decided to write an epilogue type thing that takes place one month later. Thanks for the reviews!

P.S.~ and if you have read "Five Year Reunions" and have an idea for the next chapter please e: mail me at eleph79@aol.com ! I am completely stuck now! L

I thought I was done last chapter but I wasn't. However, this remains the same:

*Epilogue*

One Month Later (to be precise)

Lily was ignoring the fact that she still owed Kara money from the beginning of term. Though Potter had succeeded in kissing her he had no hesitation in immediately following it up by asking another girl out. So James Potter had entered the Great Hall after Christmas break with a girl hanging on his arm. Therefore, Lily would have owed Kara money but, as she had argued persuasively, they had never actually agreed on a sum!

*

"Lily," Kara tried again. "I was positive you and I bet ten galleons on whether or not James would have a girl on his arm." Actually, Kara was sure the opposite was true but she needed the money for Sirius' one month anniversary gift.

"For your information Kara," Lily said. "I clearly remember us doing no such thing."

"I do."

"Fine," Lily was a little put off. This argument had been going on all month. "Tell you what. If I kiss Potter, I don't have to pay you money but if I don't I do."

"Deal," Kara said. "You've never kissed anybody let alone James."

"Wrong," Lily laughed at Kara's astonished face. "And now I don't owe you money."

Comprehension registered on Kara's face.

"Why you little!" She squealed. "How long ago? When did it happen? Tell me all the details, is he really as good as they say?"

"Kara!" Lily was shocked. "You happen to have a boyfriend. And it was the nastiest thing I have ever done in my life. I should have kissed Gilderoy instead!"

"What?" gasped Kara. "Have you decided to tell me nothing? And I don't believe you. Number one, Lily once said she would never like James Potter let alone kiss him."

"…and number two," continued a voice at the doorway. "Everyone knows that James Potter's kisses blow you off the planet!"

"What is it with you people and eavesdropping?" demanded Lily glaring at James Potter. He was leaning against the doorway and didn't look prepared to move anytime soon. "First Sirius and now you!"

"I don't know, must be contagious," James said airily as he looked around the girls' dorm. "What are you, neat freaks?" The room happened to be spotless.

"Lily is." Lily stared pop-eyed at Kara. Who was this person and why were they friends again?"

"I am not!" defended Lily indignantly. "And why are you here, James?"

"I'm here bec…"

"Shut- up James," Lily interrupted. "I don't want to hear you make a sound."

"I think this a good thing, Lily," said Kara the traitor. "Now you can prove you kissed James by asking him."

"I DON'T HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING!" Lily shouted. "James tell her you kissed me."

"I- can't- talk-remember?" James informed them in a hoarse whisper. He grinned self-righteously at Lily.

"You can talk," Lily was turning red again with anger. Damn Potter!

"Well," James breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief. "I don't remember kissing you, after all there have been so many girls…"

"JAMES!"

"…I'm also here," James continued while ignoring Lily's threats. "Because it's been exactly one month."

"..you pompous son of a-" Lily paused to make sure she'd heard him right. "What did you say?"

"I said it's been a month."

"You arrogant bast-" Lily leaped for James in an attempt to… um, well… kill him but James, who had been practicing with the aid of his friends (he'd gotten a black eye a few times, 'It was an accident' Sirius would always claim innocently), easily swung Lily of her feet.

"Put me down," Lily demanded. Did she need a second lawyer for this harassment charge? "And how, do tell, can you remember the one month if you forgot that we kissed?"

During all of the dramatics Kara had found some popcorn and was eating it while watching James and Lily with amusement.

"Nope," said James. "Remember, don't you have to prove that we kissed to Kara?"

Lily looked at Kara who nodded vigorously (and in the process spilled quite a bit of popcorn). I need some new friends, Lily decided. However, before Lily had consented James decided to take matters into his own hands. He stood Lily up and smothered her in kisses. Lily tried to get him away (by various thumps and hits- which left bruises on his chest for weeks) before giving in. Kara whistled while at the same time wishing she had her video camera. It was a shame they didn't work on campus.

"James Potter," Lily breathed after they broke away. "You self righteous, brainless, dimwitted prick. You-" Lily paused and looked up at James with a smile on her face. "You-" she kissed him. "…like…" she kissed him. "…me!" She kissed him again. "I have CONTROL!!"

"Oh shut up." said James. "Just because I like you doesn't mean you have control."

Lily quirked her eyebrow. James weakened.

"Trust me, I have control," she giggled.

James rolled his eyes. "But will you go out with me?"

"Maybe," teased Lily. "But you have to stop kissing me unprepared." She hit hard on the back of his head.

"OW!"

And they lived happily ever after…well, you know minus-ing the Voldemort bit and all…
