Chapter 4

So, so close

Many weeks had passed and everything was back to normal. Well for James and Lily anyways. For Remus and Emilia it was heaven, they would sneak out of the common room and go snog for what seemed like hours.

"Where'd those two go again?" asked Lily.

"Where else but to snog!" replied Sirius. " Oh Remus your the best kisser, *snog snog snog." he said, acting like Emilia.

The next thing he new a pillow was being thrown at him. HE threw one back and they both got into a pillow fight. Lily was laughing so hard, she fell down and Sirius attacked her on the ground.

"SIRIUS!" she screamed playfully. " hat's not fair I cant move with you hitting me."

just then James walked in. And got a pain through is chest. what the hell , why does Sirius get to have fun with Lily. Ooooo I hate I hate him. OMG! I sound like I'm jealous or something. Jealous of Lily what ever. He stood there and watched the two friends have the pillow fight, then Sirius was onto of Lily pretended to smother her with the pillow.

"Hello there you love birds.' said James, trying not to show his jealously.

"AWE, is little Jamezy, jealous that I'm playing with his crush." Sirius said in a Tabby voice.

"What. Me have a crush on Mrs. perfect here," he said starkly.

"James your such a pig." Lily shot back with the hugest grin on her face.

"Lily why are you smiling like that??" asked James.

"HAHAHAHA! James you look like a pig." belched Sirius with laughter.

"WHAT!" he screamed and ran to a mirror. "AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! EVANS CHANGE ME BACK THIS INSTANT."

"No." she said sternly.

"Well how did this happen, if you didn't even charm me?" asked James confused.

"On contrary my dear potter. Remember the night when I did charm and nothing happened, well, this is what happened all I had to say is that you were a pig and bam you turned into one. So HA!" she said and then ran up to her dorm.

She heard footsteps following hers and decided to quicken her pace. Then she started to run, she made it to her dorm room door, and a hand grabbed her mouth, and turned her around. It was James.

"James, what the hell are you doing?" Lily asked

"SHHH!" he shushed. "I am giving you payback."

"Oh God James, you don't even look like a pig anymore." she said.

"Yeah well good thing I know the counter charm." he said.

"Well, would you let go of me, I don't like being this close to you." she said struggling to get out of his grasp. Why does he have to be so strong and cute? CUTE! DID I JUST SAY THAT POTTER WAS CUTE? I'm losing it.

"I'm not gonna let go of you, till..." but he was cut of, by a punch in the face from Lily.

"Let the hell go of me Potter, or you'll have two black eyes." She screamed.

He let go of her and she opened the door to her dorm took one last look at James standing and slammed the door in his face.

"What a jackass!" she said out loud.

"What did he do know?" asked Tabby with a sigh.

"Oooo, that jerk, caught up to me just outside our door and wouldn't let me go, he just kept looking at me, so I punched him in the eye." she explained.

"O that sounds so horrible." Tabby said sarcastically.

"It is, I though he was gonna kiss me." she said kinda shocked.

"Oh no that would so horrible." Tabby said again sarcastically.

"oh be quiet!" Lily snapped.

~~¤¤~~

James walked down to the common room, trying to hide his eye from Sirius. Luckily Sirius was reading so he didn't notice.

"Nice shiner." he said, looking up now.

"What you didn't look at me?" James said confused.

"I didn't have to I heard the whole thing, and when she punched you I swear it echoed all the way down here. You'll never get her man," said Sirius laughing.

"I don't want to get her, I wanted to give her payback." He said coldly.

"Yeah whatever, man." replied Sirius not believing James.

"Why can't anybody get it through their thick skulls like we don't like each other!" he yelled out.

"Because we know it's not true." said Emilia walking in the common room with Remus.

"Oh, look the snog birds are back." Said Sirius.

"Oh shove it." said Remus.

"It is not true we don't like each other!" James yelled out once more, before he left.

"What happened to him, he looked like he got in a fight?" asked Emilia.

"He did." Sirius said trying not to laugh. " With Lily." Now he couldn't hold he started to laugh his ass off. Same with everyone else in the room.

"Boy, do they have it bad for each other." Said Tabby.

~~¤¤~~

[A week later, at around 7:00, Friday night, exactly 4 weeks till the Yule tide ball]

"I'm not going anywhere with him!" screamed Lily. She was refusing to go down to the common room and wok on the Yuletide ball with James.

"You have to other wise we wont have a ball, Lil." complained Emilia.

"No, you can't make me." she said once more. " We'll end up fighting like usual.

"Well maybe you'll surprise your self this time." Suggested, Tabby.

"Yeah, that'll be the day that I like him. "She said.

" Well we can arrange that." Said Tabby.

"No that's okay, I better go and get this thing over and done with." She said slowly get her things and dragging herself to the door.

~~¤¤~~

"C'mon Jamezy, its time for your date with Lily." said Sirius.

"Its not a date how many times to I have to tell you." He said angrily.

"As many as it takes, "replied Sirius.

"Just go down there and don't make her mad, other wise you'll end up regretting it." Suggested Remus.

"Yeah, whatever." James said walking slowly out of the dorm and down into the common room. She looks so pretty, sitting there beside the fire, her hair is so shiny and her body... Wait are I am I talking about Evans, oh man!

"Would you hurry up, I haven't got all night. I have better things to do then sit here with you. "She said coldly.

"Yeah, yeah." he replied. "I don't like it just as much as you do."

"Okay, what kind of theme should we go for?" Lily asked James looking into his eyes.

"Um I don't know, how about baseball?" he said.

"JA-POTTER!" she corrected herself. " It has to be romantic, think of something romantic."

"You almost called me." James." he said teasingly.

"POTTER! BACK TO THE TOPIC.WHICH IS NOT YOU! She screamed at him.

"Okay sorry. I know, about famous couples. You have to dress up like you're famous couples." he suggested.

"Hey that's a good idea, lets use that one." She said smiling.

"Wait you actually like my idea. Evans are you okay?" he asked confused.

"Yeah, okay I like the idea, not you." She snapped back.

"AWEE now Evans that was harsh." James replied, pretending to be hurt.

"That face doesn't work for me Potter." She said, looking away from him.

"Damn." he exclaimed.

"Okay now we need to choose a band to play." said Lily. "How about 'Dragon Heart'? She asked James.

"Oh, yes I love them?" he said excitedly.

"Really, I do to." she said happily. " I went to their concert, one time and there was this huge dragon that would shoot water out, instead of fire. It was so cool, except for the fact that I as wearing all white.

"Really, I went to that concert to. To bad though, It would of been nice seeing you all in white," he said rising his eye brows.

"God, James is that all you think about." she said blushing.

"Yes!" he replied, leaning closer to Lily. Their lips almost touched, they could feel each other breathing. Just has soon as they were about to kiss, Lily pulled away.

"Well I think that is enough, for tonight, I have lots of other, homework, to do." she said quickly gathering her things, and leaving.

So close I was so close. Next time though next time, Lily Evans will be mine! James thought to himself.

ARGG! Why does James always have to do that, can't he take a hint. Lily thought to herself as she went up to her dorm.

~~¤¤~~

It was the next morning and Lily was shaken a wake by her friends.

"LILY! C'mon its time to get up." Said Tabby.

"No! Leave me alone." Lily groaned. Lily had gotten to sleep at like three last night, she had so much homework, plus she couldn't stop thinking about James.

"So Lily, how did your date go with James?" Asked Tabby.

"It wasn't a date," she moaned even louder.

"Well what ever how did it go?" Tabby asked again.

" I don't remember." Lily lied.

"Fine, what ever, don't tell me, your best friend," said Tabby.

"I'll tell you when Emilia is here too." Lily said.

"Well, she's not here. She left early probably to have a snog session with Remus." Tabby said, with a yawn.

"Yeah probably." Agreed Lily. "You can leave with out me Tabby. I 'm not hungry so I'll meet you in class."

"Okay." said Tabby, leaving for breakfast.

Lily got up and got ready slowly. After a half an hour, she was ready to go to class. She walked down the stairs to the common room and walked toward the door, when some hands came out of nowhere. Before she new it she was being kissed. She quickly pulled away. Her jaw dropped.

"YOU!" She exclaimed.
