A/N: I have just realized that in the beginning of this story that I did say that the Marauders had Potions with the Slytherins, and then I placed them going to Potions class with the girls. Sorry for the misconception. I'm going to say that for now that the 6th year Gryffindors have Potions with the 6th year Ravenclaws for purposes that I don't know of. Now, on with the story

Chapter 10 - Snape's Crush

Kayla and Lily skidded to a stop in front of the Potions room when they saw that Professor Nicklebutt was already waiting at the front of the class. "Ahhh." The Professor said in a mocking tone. "It's nice of you to finally join us Miss Evans, Miss Cameron. Now please, do take your seats, and note that you are the cause of twenty-five points taken from Ravenclaw for your tardiness." The Professor said as she turned her back and went to get some supplies out of her storeroom.

Kayla and Lily glared at the teachers back.

"You know," Lily whispered as they began to walk towards their seats with the boys. "I do indeed think that she has a major case of P.M.S."

Kayla looked at Lily with amusement dancing in her eyes, seeing as the Professor had to be near 60 years old.

"What took you so long?" Remus asked as Lily and Kayla sat down at their table.

Kayla and Lily exchanged amused glances, and opened their mouths to tell when the Professor came stomping back into the class.

"Today," she started, trying to sound mysterious for some reason, and failing miserably. "We will be starting our three month long potion project. The potion that you will be brewing will be for me to decide. You will have to research your potion, make it, display it to the class, and hand in a 20-foot essay on the potion itself. You will be given a outline that you will follow as soon as I assign the partners and the subject itself." Groans were heard from all around the dungeon classroom. Professor Nicklebutt was notorious for her pairings. You always got stuck with a person that you hated.

"Great, now on with the partners." The Professor said with glee.

"Tara Akingison, William Danop; Sirius Black, Kayla Cameron ("NO!" Kayla exclaimed at this. "He's going to kill me. (Referring to Sirius) She's trying to kill me. (Referring to Professor Nicklebutt.)" She kept on muttering under her breath as Sirius grinned and swung his arm over her shoulders.which is how he got the sore arm.) By this time, the Professor had already named a few more partners, and continued doing so, ignoring the death glares from many of her students. "Lily Evans, James Potter (At which their mouths go slack. She paired them together!); Remus Lupin, Aradriana Williams; Michelle Upitey, James Sidewell."

The Professor looked up, contented to see that many faces were contorted in anger.

"You know," Lily whispered leaning towards Kayla. "This teacher is really demented. She lives off of other peoples hatred." Kayla glared at her friend, most likely pissed off that she got to do a THREE-MONTH project with someone who actually WORKED.

"Professor!" a voice carried in from the doorway. Everyone in the class shifted to see a smirking Snape in the doorway. "Professor, you're wanted in the Hospital Wing for the rest of the day. Dumbledore told me to tell you that you are to dismiss your class and come immediately." Professor cracked a smile towards her most prized student, and turned back to the rest of the class with a ministering glare on her face.

"Well, what are you waiting for? You heard Mr. Snape here. Get going!" the Professor demanded.

Without a second thought, the whole class rushed towards the entry, racing to get out of that class as if it held the plague.

The students happily chattered among themselves as they walked around the castle.

"Well," Remus drawled.

"What do we do now?" Kayla asked.

"I know," Lily said with excitement laced in her voice.

Just then, an "Evans! Wait up!" could be heard from behind the group.

Lily slowly turned around, and came face to face with a red Snape.

"What do you want Snape?" James demanded, securing Lily next to his side efficiently.

"I want to talk to Evans Potter. Now, if you'd be so good as to shut that large hole in the middle of your face that you presume is a mouth everything'd be fine and dandy." Snape said sourly.

"What do you want with me?" Lily asked.

"Um.well, you see, I came here to tell you.umm.well, that is that I umm." the boys all of a sudden started to roar with laughter, halting Snape's confession.

Lily stared at the boys with confusion, while Kayla and Aria had shocked and disgusted expressions.

"What?" Lily asked.

"H-he's try-trying to t-t-tell you-" Remus started, but was soon overcome with laughter again.

"H-he l-l-l-l-ikes you." Sirius gasped before he began to shake with laughter again.

Lily gasped, and looked at Snape again, to see that he had turned even redder than he previously was. Which is implying something, as he now looked like a ripe tomato.

Lily then shuddered, goosebumps showing up on her skin. "Ewwww." She exclaimed. "Snape. Never." That was all she said before she pivoted on her right foot, and stomped off in the other direction of Snape.

"Lily! Please, honey, wait. I love you. I can give you everything that you desire. Please, don't leave. Just give me a chance!" Snape called out pathetically as he watched Lily storm down the hallway. All he got in return was a "Go fuck yourself."

James, Remus, Sirius, Kayla, and Aria ran to catch up with a fuming Lily.

"How dare he!" she screeched. "He has no right what so ever to have ANY feelings towards me. According to him, I'm a filthy little mudblood. Now he says that he LOVES me? Oh, that's just rich!" Lily fumed.

"Hunter, honey.no one can resist your charms. After all, you did manage to get me to fall in love with you somehow." James said as he encircled Lily's waist with one of his arms as they began to walk towards the Ravenclaw common room.

"Actually, I'm still wondering 'bout that. Did ya put me under some kind of spell?" James asked.

Lily glared at him.

"Okay, I get it. Not the time to be joking." James said.

The group walked in silence for a few minutes before someone decided to break the tension.

"But did you see his face!" Sirius gushed out.

Lily began to giggle. Then Kayla's shoulders began to shake with suppressed laughter, and Aria, James, Remus, and Sirius all doubled over with laughter that rang all throughout the castle walls. It wasn't long after that Kayla and Lily joined them, clutching their sides in agony.

"Oh, God. My sides are killing me." Lily giggled as she regained her breath again.

"Hmm.too bad we didn't happen to have a camera on us." Lily mused out loud.

"I know." Kayla choked out, still gasping heavily from her laughter. "Imagine reliving that moment for the rest of your life!"

This set off another round of uncontrollable laughter.

It took a few minutes, but eventually the group of friends regained their composure, and continued their walk towards the Great Hall.

"I wonder what he would have done if she'd actually said yes." Sirius wondered out loud.

"Ewwwww." Chorused throughout the group.

"Sirius," Lily said in a disgusted voice. "I do actually have a taste in guys. And believe me, he doesn't fit anywhere on that list."

"Do you now?" James asked slyly. "And just where do I fit on this list?" he asked.

Lily glanced at him from the corner of her eye, and smiled seductively. "Well, to tell the truth, I don't know. For all I know, you could be a horrible kisser, or a horrible-" she started, but was soon cut off by a pair of extremely warm and soft lips on hers, and strong muscled arms latching onto her waist.

Lily moaned as she opened her mouth to James's tongue. 'Merlin, this man sure as hell knows how to kiss.' Lily's mind said as his skilled tongue began to entice Lily's in a little battle before sucking on it, making Lily moan in ecstasy.

Lily moved her hands from their dormant position next to her sides, and slid them up James's chest, over his shoulders, and played with the strands of hair that rested on his nape, the soft strands feeling like water on her fingertips.

James drew back from the kiss, and rested his forehead against hers. "That answer your question?" he whispered, and Lily could feel every syllable on her lips, and shivered as a pure, unmistakable spurt of lust shot through her body, making her shiver.

"Hmmm.maybe." She whispered huskily, nipping at his bottom lip enticingly. "Why don't we give it another try? Just to be safe?" she murmured as she titled her face the rest of the distance between her lips.

The sound of people clearing their throats scared the living daylights out of them, and caused them to both jump simultaneously, and flush a deep scarlet color.

"Right," Lily said and then proceeded to clear her throat. "Lets continue."

James re-took his position at her side, took her hand in his, and leaned towards her and whispered, "Meet me at midnight at the Astronomy Tower. We can put to test your list then." He instructed with a wink in her direction.

Lily smiled at him, and then returned to Kayla who was teasing Lily for the public display of affection, to be able to come up with something that was relatively intelligent to say in defense of her actions.

'I can't wait until midnight.' Ran through Lily's mind.

'Wait until she sees what I have in store for her.' James thought slyly with a loving glance towards his new girlfriend.
