Chapter 2
Lily lay down in her bed totally awake. She checked her watch. It was 4:30 in the morning. 'God, I have to
get some sleep!' she thought but she couldn't get James out of her mind. That kiss had been so perfect, it felt
so right, as if they were meant for each other. Could it be possible that Lily Evans was starting to feel
something different for James Potter?
The next morning, Lily groaned when Arabella hit her with a pillow.
"Come on, Lils! Wake up!
"Just 5 more minutes!" Lily said putting the pillow in her head.
"It's 10:30, Lils." Brenda said.
"Who cares? It's Saturday!"
"But you never wake up late. Are you feeling ok?" asked Bella with a concerned look in her face.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just didn't get enough sleep last night. It's no big deal. I'm fine." Lily said.
"Is there anything bothering you?" Brenda asked sitting in Lily's bed. "Can we help you or something?"
"No, it's nothing, Bren." Said Lily. 'Of course, not. I just stayed awake all night thinking about James and
what a great kisser he is!' she thought. "You guys have nothing to worry about me. Really, I'm fine." Lily
said hoping they would buy it. When they seemed convinced, Lily got up and changed her clothes to some
comfortable muggle jeans and a sweater. "I'm gonna go to breakfast, cause I'm starving. You guys wanna
come?"
Bella and Brenda exchanged looks. "No, we've already had breakfast. We'll stay in the common room."
Brenda said.
"Ok, see you guys later." Lily said leaving the dormitory.
"See ya." Bella and Brenda said. "Ok, there's definitely something bothering her!" Bella said.
"Absolutely. But what could it be?" asked Brenda.
"I don't know, Bren. But we're gonna find out."
James entered the Great Hall and the first person he spotted was a certain red-haired girl that hadn't let him
sleep the night before. James's got black circles under his eyes because he had kept thinking about Lily all
night and didn't get enough sleep. He went over to Lily and sat beside her.
"Good morning, little Lily. How are you on this beautiful morning?" he asked grinning.
"I was ok until you sat beside me."
"I'm fine too. Thanks for asking." Said James sarcastically. He yawned stretching his arms, which he rested
around Lily's waist.
"Take your hands off me, Potter." Said Lily glaring at him.
"No, I don't want to."
"Oh, yes, you do!"
"Wanna go snog just like we did last night? James winked at her.
"We didn't snog last night. You forcefully kissed me remember?"
"I didn't forcefully kiss you. You kissed me back, and the last time I checked, that wasn't kiss by force."
"I did not kiss you back!"
"Oh, yes, you did."
"I did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Did not! Ok, this is pointless!"
"So you admit you kissed me back?"
"Maybe, but so what? It wasn't a big deal, it was just a kiss. It didn't mean anything." Lily said but at the
back of her mind she knew it wasn't true. That kiss had definitely meant something. No doubt about it.
"Yeah, maybe you're right. It wasn't a big deal." James said. 'You're such a bloody liar, Potter!' he thought
to himself. "But I do admit it felt really good. We should do it again some time. What do you think?"
"You're disgusting!" Lily said walking out of the Great Hall and back to the Gryffindor Tower.
"Hey, guys." said Brenda.
"Hi, Bren, Bella." said Sirius and Remus. "What's up?" asked Sirius as Bella sat between him and Remus and
Brenda sat beside Remus.
"Well, Lily wasn't ok this morning, although she said she was fine. But we know that there's something
bothering her." Bella said.
"So, we were wondering. Do you guys know if anything happened last night between Lily and James? I mean,
she's been acting weird since she came back from the meeting with him last night." Brenda said.
"James didn't tell us anything either, but he was acting weird. He stayed up almost all night and when he
asked him if there was something wrong, he kept saying that everything was fine and that we were
overreacting." said Remus.
"I wonder what happened between them." Said Sirius.
"Well, I think they are in love but they're both in denial." Said Bella
"Bella, you say that since first year!" said Brenda.
"And you know I'm right!"
"But they hate each other!" insisted Brenda.
"You know, I think Bella is right." Said Sirius. "And Bren, James doesn't hate Lily. He thinks she's hot, just
like every other guy in this school."
"But Lily hates James. At least that's what she's been saying since they first met." Said Brenda.
"There's a fine line between love and hate." Said Bella.
"Ok, then what do you guys think we should do?" asked Remus.
"We can't play matchmaker on them. Lily would kill us if she found out." said Sirius.
"I agree with Sirius." Said Brenda. "But we can help them realize how they really feel about each other."
"And how are we supposed to do that?" asked Bella.
"By dropping these little hints about how they would be such a cute couple and sometimes we can say that
we're all busy and leave them alone. This kinda stuff." Explained Brenda.
"That might work, Bren." Said Remus. "But we can't let them know we're doing this!"
"Of course!" said Bella. "Hey, where's Peter? He can help us too!"
"Where else? He is down in the kitchens!" said Sirius grinning.
"What else is new?" laughed Bella. "So, you two tell him about our plan, ok?"
"Ok." Said Remus and Sirius. Lily entered the Common Room and went over to them.
"Hi." She said as she sat beside Brenda.
"Hey, Lilikins!" said Sirius happily. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I'm just worried about this ball thing you know."
"If you need any help, you know you can count on us right? Said Remus smiling at her.
"Of course I know, Remus. You guys are my best friends." said Lily.
Two weeks had passed since Lily and James had kissed. Their friends had already tried several ways so
Lily and James could be alone but nothing seemed to work.
That night Lily and James were supposed to meet to arrange the last details for the ball, so they agreed to meet
again in the transfiguration classroom. After discussing the details, Lily was gathering her notes when she felt
James's gaze on her.
"What is it?" Lily asked turning around to face him.
"Oh, nothing." Said James blushing. He hadn't realized he was staring at her. Lily thought it was very weird.
James Potter, the biggest player in school was actually blushing? How weird was that?
"You were staring at me. What is it?" insisted Lily.
"I was just thinking that you are really beautiful..."
"You've been telling me that since first year." Interrupted Lily.
"And I really want to kiss you again." James said ignoring her last comment and coming closer to her
trapping her against the wall.
"James, I..." James silenced her with a kiss. It was just the same explosion of feelings as the last one. Both of
them forgot about the world. When they kissed , it was like just the two of them existed and nothing else.
James explored her body with his hands while Lily ran her fingers through his messy hair. Their tongues
moving together, explored each other's mouths. After a while, Lily pulled apart.
"James, I..." she tried to say, but she was hypnotized by his eyes. James looked at her and found the same
passion and desire in her eyes when they had first kissed.
"Little flower, you are amazing." He said after a while.
"We have to stop doing this." Said Lily resting her forehead in his.
"Why?"
"Because I can't think properly when you do that." Lily said looking into his eyes. "I have to go." She said
gathering her things once again.
"But Lily..."
"We can't be keep it going like this, James. It would never work. You know that." She said and left the room.
Once again, James stayed there, drowned in his own thoughts, not knowing that the exact same thing was
happening to Lily.
