Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter and recognizable characters. I only own the plot and unrecognizable characters in this story.

A/N: Wow! Ten whole spiffy reviews for just one chapter! Thanks everybody! You guys rock--cookies for all of you! Or maybe brownies... Or strawberry cheesecake... *drools*

Hehe. I'm in the mood for sweets so don't mind me. I would have written this sooner but I was busy with other fics and stuff. I was planning on posting up a story but I've been working on it so I didn't really have time to write this chapter. Luckily, I wasn't working on this when my computer was frozen.

And about my short chapters--sorry! I'll try harder to give you looong chapters or update sooner with my short chapters... ^-^
James raised his eyebrow. "Did you say something?"

Lily jumped slightly spilling some butterbeer on her hands but she seemed to be oblivious to it. "N-nothing," she stammered. James nodded slowly and continued sipping his butterbeer.

She sighed softly so that James couldn't hear. For a few minutes they continued drinking until Lily broke the unnerving silence. "So do you have any brothers or sisters?" James looked up startled but answered all the same.

"Elizabeth," he answered. "She's my older sister and she's working for the Ministry of Magic. She loves Muggle books and always read them to me."

"Oh really?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow. "Which book did you like best?" She was a huge bookworm but everyone in Hogwarts already knew.

"Lord of the Rings," he said after a while as though trying to recall a vague memory. "My sister loved that book and so did I. Well, it could get fairly dull but I liked a few parts of it..." He grinned.

Lily nodded and decided to speak. "I have one sister too. She's my younger siister..." She trailed off feeling a bit awkward talking about Petunia.

"What's her name?" James asked looking at her. Lily didn't answer immediately but after a few seconds, she spoke again.

"Petunia," she said pushing her empty tankard aside. "She's a Muggle..." James nodded and looked at his hands.

"Uh... So do you play Quidditch?" Lily asked. James looked up excitedly and nodded.

"It's the best game anyone could play! I've got the newest broom in the market," he said proudly. "Sirius always steals it though." He frowned and Lily laughed.

"Are you Chaser?" she asked. He nodded and drew himself up proudly. "And captain." Lily looked at him a bit amazed.

Lily walked into the empty common room James behind her. The fire in the hearth was reduced to glowing red embers, the only source of light. "Lumos," Lily whispered to her wand causing a spark of light to appear at its tip.

They made their way towards the staircase leading to the dormitories. "Well, goodnight," James said softly staring at Lily.

"Yeah... Goodnight," she whispered. She started to turn her head when James leaned forward pressing his lips softly against her own. A spark flew through her suddenly but as quickly as it came, the kiss ended.

Her feet were rooted to the spot even when James withdrew and walked up the staircase. Putting her hand to her lips, she stared up at the staircase where James dark form disappeared. She almost dropped her wand but her fingers gripped tightly around it.

Finally, she walked up the staircase feeling her heart thump against her ribcage. She always imagined her first kiss but not with James. Smiling to herself, she jumped onto her bed without changing her clothes.

A/N: I know, I know. "What happened to long chapter?" But this seemed like a good place to end whether you like it or not. Sorry! I'll try to update as soon as possible but first I'll be waiting for reviews. *grins* \par Please press that shiny button!
