Responses

Ron Weasley's gal ~ while the amount of drama potential in your suggestion makes it HIGHLY tempting, I like Adrian too much to make him an asshole. Besides, lol, he's gay, so I can't really see him being jealous of Lily and James.  Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

cara-meLisSa ~ I cut it off because I like throwing in cliffhangers (::grins sheepishly::) and because I don't like ending my stories, lol.

Chapter 12

Stalking the Happy Couple

"What is it?" Remus asked, hurrying next to Madeline to peer into the classroom.

"Lily just grabbed James by the tie and now she's snogging him senseless!"  Madeline exclaimed in an excited whisper.

"WHAT?!" yelled Sirius.

"SHH!!" everyone hissed, looking anxiously at Lily and James.  Fortunately, they seemed to be much too busy to notice...

*

James was in shock.  Of all the things he was expecting her to show him, this certainly wasn't it.  Not that he was complaining, mind you.  He was thrilled beyond all possible reason.  He was trying to work out what exactly brought this on, but the other 95% of  his brain was telling him to shut up and kiss!

Being the full-blooded guy that he was, he obliged.

*

After about three minutes of continuous snogging, Lily pulled away from James, considerably breathless.  She sank down onto the nearest object.  Unfortunately for her, there wasn't anything behind her and she collapsed onto the floor.* 

James squatted down in front of her.  "Are you okay?"

Lily nodded, blushing furiously.  "I can't believe I just did that."

"Fell on your butt?  Oh, that's understandable, I am a great kisser, aren't I?"  James teased.

Lily smiled and swatted at  him, causing him to lose his balance.  "No, you dolt," she said. "I can't believe I just kissed you."

James nodded knowledgably. "Like I said, I am the king of kissers."

"No, you're the king of egos." Lily said dryly.

He laughed.  "It's nice to know some things don't change."

Lily raised her eyebrows.  "What are you talking about?  Aside from the size of your ego, everything's changed."

"I meant you're still a little shrew"  he kidded.

Lily mock-gasped.  "Why you--!"

James grinned.  "Yes?"

"I like you better when you're not talking." Lily grumbled.

"Good luck getting me to do that." James threw back.

Lily peered at him out of the corner of her eye.  "Oh, I can think of several ways to get you to shut up.  You don't REALLY need your voice box and it'll only hurt a little..."

James snorted.  "Oh, please.  I can always get a new one."

"But...considering I don't feel like having blood all over my hands right now, and I'm sick of hearing your voice..."

James raised both his eyebrows. "What...?"

Lily leaned forward and kissed James on the lips again.

James was surprised for a second, then shrugged, and busied himself with kissing her back.

Madeline did a victory dance in the middle of the hall.  "SCORE!!" she cried.

She ran over and grabbed Remus in a hug.  He recovered quickly and swung her around.  "We did it!!!" he cried.

Sirius grabbed Shayne's hands and started dancing around the hall with her while Jessie and Cara hugged each other excitedly.

"What the hell is going on out here?"

It was as if someone had paused all the action in the hall as everyone froze and slowly turned to face the doorway of the Transfiguration classroom.  Sirius was the first to recover.  "Um." he started, glancing around.  "Nothing?"

James raised an eyebrow.  "Bull."

Lily, standing beside him, said, "Was this all planned?"

Remus and Madeline exchanged guilty looks.  "Ah...yes?"  Madeline said, taking a step back.

Lily pinched the bridge of her nose for a second before responding.  "You do remember that conversation we had, last year, about how much I hate to be set up?" she asked.

Madeline bit her lip, clearly expecting a tirade.  "Yes?"

"You're lucky I like this guy, otherwise you'd all be dead." she said, smiling.

Madeline, Remus and the rest of the people in the hall exhaled, relieved.

James grinned.  "Come on, Lily, let's leave these weirdos to themselves."  He said, putting his arm around her and guiding her out the door and down the hall.
