Chapter 3
* * *
At around midnight, James could not stand the hunger pangs from his stomach anymore. He rumaged under his bed for the invisibility cloak his father had passed down to him and made for the kitchens. He opened the portrait door and saw something he really would rather not have seen. Lily Evans and Amos Diggory were seemingly glued together at the mouth, and both seemed to be enjoying it, Amos's hands were running up and down Lily's back whilst her hands were raking through his hair. Unfortunately, they were standing in the middle of the corridor which made a bit of a predicament for James. He couldn't get past without either of them noticing. He was forced to stay standing there. After a few minutes Lily finally said "I'm sorry Amos I really ought to go now,"
"Oh, Lily, stay just five more minutes."
"No." she said more firmly, well aware of where it could all lead. "I'll see you tomorrow." Amos planted a kiss on her cheek and sauntered away whistling. Lily turned around and saw James, her lips were red and swollen and her cheeks flustered. James found this deeply arousing but knew better than to say anything. She started when she saw him. Shock evident on every feature.
"Sorry," said James, "I couldn't get past without err disturbing you." Lily couldn't see his face in the dark but she knew he was smirking. She stalked past him her head in the air, ignoring the pain she saw flicker briefly in his eyes.
* * *
"Urgh, I bet he was spying on me," Lily was shouting to Emily and Claire who she had just woken up and were feeling rather disgruntled "It would be just typical of him!"
"Lily, please save it for the morning," pleaded Emily blearily, "I'm not in the best of moods."
"Yeah? Well that makes two of us." said Lily dramatically flinging herself into bed.
"You're so Goddamn melodromatic sometimes Lil," came Claire's voice from her left. Lily glared into the darkness. Her friends were used to her fiery attitude by this point but that didn't make it any less annoying.
"How did your date go?" asked Emily hastily changing the subject. Lily smiled to herself, "It went really well," she said "he is such a good kisser"
Emily smiled, "well be careful, you don't want to go too quickly with him."
"Yes Mother." said Lily, "it was only kissing." She sighed, I really, really like him. He was so sweet to me and really romantic." She sighed again. "Well Goodnight you two."
"Yeah you too." Claire said thankful that at last she could go to sleep.

For the next few weeks, Lily and Amos were completely inseperable. Her friends were glad to see her so happy for once. James was slightly bitter about it but pleased by the fact that due to Lily's cheerfulness she seemed to be warming to him slightly. He had moved on from simple greetings to small conversations. The fact that Lily now had a boyfriend didn't discourage him one bit. If anything it actually spurred him on, making him even more determined to get her. He even thought that she was becoming faintly fond of him.
"Hey Lilykins!" he said bounding down the stairs cheerfully, he scooped her up in a huge hug. "How are you this morning?"
"Potter, put me down." she shrieked indignantly. James put her down gingerly looking slightly miffed, "and there I was thinking we were almost on a first name basis." he said looking at her reproachfully. "My heart's been broken once again." Lily rolled her eyes, "please don't make me apologise Potter," she said sarcastically but James was sure the corners of her mouth were twitching.
"Why won't you call me James?" he asked. His voice was playful but Lily was fairly sure he was being serious.
"Seriously?" she said, "It's just, well, Potter suits you so much more, and besides I could never get used to calling you James, it sounds so weird."
James frowned trying to understand the logic behind this then shrugged, "whatever makes you happy my darling."
"Don't call me that!"
"Why not?"
"It's a term of endearment."
"What shall I call you then?"
"Well Lily would be fine," she said a slightly bemused expression on her face, "It's better than Evans."
James grinned, "Do you think I'm improving then?" he asked
"In becoming less prick-like?" James nodded. Lily actually laughed, "well I suppose you are making progress, very slow progress, mind you."
"What, so you're actually starting to like me?"
"Don't push it Potter, I never said that."
"Alright, alright," James said, but as Lily walked past him, and there was no mistaking it this time, she was definitely smiling.
* * *
"What was that all about then?" asked Claire a while later, "Did I actually see you and Pothead flirting?"
Lily looked absoloutly disgusted, "You most certainly did not. Yuck, how could you possibly think such a thing?"
Claire smiled innocently at her but didn't say anything. Instead she rushed off to find Emily to make a new entry in 'Lily and James a History'. It would be the first satisfactory entry they'd made in ages.
* * *
"So how'd you think it's going so far?" Questioned Remus in the boys dorm.
James looked thoughtful for a moment, "She said she couldn't call me James because it sounded weird." Remus looked confused. "But, I happen to think she's warming to me, at last. We do of course still have our fun little arguments but she hasn't hexed me in a week."
"Oh, well that's good I suppose." said Remus, "you haven't forgotten she's going out with Amos have you?"
"Now that is impossible to forget, Moony. Everywhere I go they're together being all touchy-feely." James grimaced. "It's a huge put-off, but I'm not giving up this quickly. She's got to break up with him at some point, right?"
"Yeah, but don't do anything even vaguely flirty with her 'cause then you'd be right back at square one. She really likes Amos."
James sighed. "I know." He wasn't going to admit it to anyone but Lily's relationship with Amos was irking him alot more than he made out. It drove him crazy whenever he saw them together kissing or hugging. They had become Hogwarts latest 'it' couple, and most gossip was connected with them. James was trying not to let it bother him and was working more on his friendship with Lily which was slightly improving, but he still felt like he was walking on eggshells when he was around her.
"Do you feel like you know her more?" asked Remus after a while.
James nodded slowly. "her favourite books 'gone with the wind'" he said grinning.
"ahh." said Remus nodding sagely.
"You haven't read it have you?" James asked looking slightly worried.
"God No," said Remus, "but I've seen the film. It's a very Lilyish kind of story."
"Oh, well what's it about?" asked James eager to learn what a Lilyish kind of story was.
"well, it's about Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara, and Rhett really loves Scarlett but she loves someone else and Rhett keeps persuing Scarlett hoping that she'll fall for him-"
"Oh, so it's kind of like me and Lily in a way," James interrupted.
"Yeah I s'pose, they get married eventually but Scarlett's still really mean to him, and then in the end just as Scarlett realises she loves Rhett he leaves her because he's tired of being turned down."
"Oh," said James, "well I'd never leave Lily, whatever she'd done."
Remus grunted. "Where's Sirius?" he asked, James glad to turn the subject away from romance novels shrugged. "Dunno, probably pranking snivellus again." He sniggered.
"Oh yeah," said Remus, "that's another thing. Lily hates it when you make fun of Snape."
"Yeah" James said, "Can't work out why, he's a complete barstard to her."
"Yeah well it wouldn't hurt to leave him alone for a while either." Remus said wisely, "Maybe she'll start to think you have some consideration."
James nodded thoughtfully. "Yeah, good point. Well I'm off to find Lilykins, see what kind of mood she's in. I've been a complete gentleman to her for almost three months now, she ought to have noticed something."
"Bye." said Remus, "I've got to do this potions essay though." He looked slightly sickened "See you later."
