The first time Lily and James met was in their first year of Hogwarts. James could feel the magic when he looked into her eyes as she sat onto the stool placing the "sorting hat on her head nervously. Ever since then he had a crush on her. He watched her as she went to classes and watched her some more in class and picked the same subjects as her for his third year. No doubt his friends knew that he had a crush on her. He spent hours in the library spying on her but mostly helping his friend Remus out.
Remus was a werewolf. He was bitten a while ago and turned into a monster at the full moon. He scratched and bit himself in the shrieking shack and his friends decided to keep him company and become Animagi. This one day in their fourth year, James, Sirius, and Peter were ready to actually finish their Animagi project.
"Thanks you guys for helping me." said Remus.
"No prob for our good friend, right James?" said Sirius trying not to laugh as he watched James.
"What? Oh yeah, anything for you Remus." said James pulling out of his trance on Lily.
"You know James, you really ought to do something about this , not just look at her, I mean actually talk to her." piped up Peter.
"Yeah maybe, or I was thinking about this plan see..." His voice dropped and he explained his plot to his friends.
"Are you sure man, that will make her like you?" said Sirius uncertainly.
"I dunno but it's the only plan I've got so oh well." said James.
Christmas time was nearing and the atmosphere couldn't be merrier. The continuous snow drifty lightly onto the evergreens and the students were so eager for Christmas that they were hardly concentrating on their work. James, however, was working out the fine details of his "work."
He finally spotted her, working on her mid-semester exam. He raised his wand, clutching a chunk of mistletoe in his hands and muttered "Wingardium Leviosa!" behind the bookshelf. The mistletoe raised up and up and he moved his wand so it flew silently over Lily's head. James started to walk slowly toward her but this round, pink-faced boy got there first.
"Lily, um, well.." said the boy searching for words. He looked up then puckered his lips and closed his eyes.
Lily turned around. She heard sniggering behind her. Remus, Sirius, and Peter were spying on her and then pointed at James. She turned around again and saw James with his wand up. She walked over to him and the mistletoe followed her. That wasn't an accident though, Sirius had his wand raised and was levitating the mistletoe above her. She looked up then at James with her eyes twinkling. He felt like he had a dozen snakes in his stomach and was rooted right to the spot.
Then it happened. She closed her eyes and held his face close, slowly kissing his. He felt a rush of electricity flow through his body. She let go leisurely and looked at his confused face.
"Yeah well, Lily I"ll see you around...." his voice trailed off. He hurried out of the library headed toward the Gryffindor common room quickly with his friends at his heels. Now he definitely knew she liked him. I think this Christmas is going to be the best one ever, he thought.
