It had been a day since the incident in the greenhouse; neither head boy nor head girl had spoken to each other. The tension in Griffindor house common room was evident with both sitting at opposite sides glaring at each other at particular intervals. It had been a miserable day in the common room, the fire was roaring and so were the first years, still overexcited from joining the school. Lily could have sworn the excitement didn't normally last as long, but maybe it was just her aging. Just as the sound levels began to near the limit in Lily's books, professor Dumbeldore came in,

"I wonder if I could have a word with the heads of school, please? That is all," James and Lily left their groups and left the common room. When the got to the door Dumbeldore turned back to them, "Lily, James I do hope your duties are suiting with your timetables this year, however I have the news that as part of our new muggle studies teaching curriculum, Professor seems to have felt the need to install a muggle swimming pool on floor 3. I simply wanted to say feel free to use it as part of your privileges," he smirked and handed Lily the keys, "Maybe help you bond?" he suggested, and he walked off. A muggle swimming pool at hogwarts?

Well it was a peculiar thought, but obviously true if Dumbeldore had been so serious. The two looked at each other, and James held out his arm,

"Want to go see?" Lily's curiosity got the better of her,

"Yes," she replied taking his arm and he led her to the third floor.

....................................

"Here, let me have a go.."

"Move over, I can do this,"

"You're going to snap the key,"

"I am not,"

"Turn it don't yank."

"I'm not yanking," the key eventually clicked in the door and the two stumbled in the room. It had a green marble wall and floor, and central to the huge room was a huge deep swimming pool.

"Wow," Lily gasped, "Its huge"

"It's cool, wait till I let the marauders see this,"

"They are not seeing this," She sighed grabbing the key out of his hand, "Must Sirius, Peter and Remus see everything that I seem to have access to?"

"Alright," he laughed,

Lily was shocked at herself, she'd began talking to him again, it was like an addiction, the boy who had knocked her back. She really did like him.

"James, do you like me?" She asked suddenly and unpredictably.

"HUH?" He asked open-mouthed.

"Do you like me?" There was a moment of silence, and he nodded,

"I care about you, just don't want to see you get hurt,"

"There's nothing else I should know?" She questioned,

"Nope," he lied.

"Right then," She replied.

As if in answer he grabbed her. They stood by the exit to the room for ages kissing, and then she plucked up the courage. She went back to his jeans belt and continued kissing him whilst she unbuttoned them. He stood there, it killing him not to tell Lily about the bet, but he was stuck now, he couldn't do anything without thinking of her. He wanted her as his. His jeans fell to the ground and were kicked off. Lily pulled his t-shirt over off his head and they stood there, Lily fully clothed and James only with boxer shorts on.

"Now I cant be the only one, that's not fair!" he laughed looking down at his naked body. As if in return Lily started to pull her top off, and stood in her bra he moved his attention to her neck as he inched her skirt upwards to her thighs. He lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her long legs around his body. He carried her over to the side of the pool and put her down unzipping her skirt, it fell into the pool. They didn't even notice.

Lily held onto James arms as she fell backwards, his strong arms held her there, not wanting anything to happen to her. She wanted to go backwards however and lightly touched the front of his boxer shorts and he lost his strength in his arms and they plunged backwards.

Coming up for air James put Lily's arms around his neck, and they floated there kissing each other, James then went for Lily's neck and began planting little light kisses on the supersensitive skin. James felt her tense up as he went to touch her butt, and then he relax again, his hands roaming on her semi-clothed body.

"Mmmm, James," She whispered,

"Yeah?" he mumbled,

"I could get used to being bad," she giggled.

Well I took my reviewers advice, and have decided that as long as this is an R there's no point of avoiding the naughty stuff! Hope you enjoyed that instalment; I really wasn't sure whether hogwarts had a pool so felt the need to write it in. I found this chapter really hard to write because I wasn't sure how to play on James and Lily's reactions. Let me know what you all thought!
