"James?" Lily's soft voice floated to James's ear.
"Yeah?" James replied suddenly feeling slightly nervous.
"There's something I need to tell you…" She faltered and hesitated for a moment then began again, "I guess I have always had this small crush on you. I didn't want to tell you because…because I thought we wouldn't last very long. But now, I have realized that the small crush has turned into something much bigger then that. I can't stand not feeling your touch anymore. Or looking at you and knowing that you're mine and just mine. Do you still feel the same way about me?" She finished looking deep into James's eyes trying to decipher the thoughts running through his head.
Answering Lily's questions in her pleading eyes James slowly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled him towards her.
For a while they just stood there, Lily's cheek lay lightly on James's chest, her ear listening to his slow and steady heartbeat. Both were thinking about their new situation. Until finally James peered into Lilly's stunning emerald eyes, and leaned down. Their faces were inches apart, he could feel her soft breath, he could smell her vanilla scented hair, their lips centimeters apart…
"Crap!!!" A frantic voice sliced through James's perfect dream. "We are late! Get out of bed Prongs!" James didn't budge. He was just knocked out of the best dream he had ever had. He and Lily had almost kissed…so close. "We have to go now!" James tried his best to cling on to the last bit of his dream. He and Lily…they were so close! "JAMES ZACHERIAH POTTER GET YOUR LAZY FREAKING BUTT OUT OF BED NOW!!!"
James groggily opened one blurry eye trying to figure out who was causing all of the commotion. It was a Sirius…figures.
"Why, what time is it?" James asked yawning.
"It's 12:45 my friend!" Sirius answered in a hurried tone as he tried to tug on a pair of jeans, "We have a detention in fifteen minutes!"
"What?!?" James replied suddenly awake…they couldn't be late, not with McGonagall. It would be another five Saturday afternoon detentions if they ever walked in tardy. "Where in the heck is Remus?"
"I don't know, probably sitting in McGonagall's office waiting for US!"
"Wasn't he supposed to wake us up?" James asked stumbling out of his four-poster bed.
"Uh…YEAH! But were is he? I don't know! He probably couldn't wait to see Maria!" Sirius answered obviously thoroughly annoyed.
James quickly began rummaging through his trunk trying to find something reasonable to wear. "Hey Padfoot? I think I have a plan."
"A plan? What for?"
"A plan to get Lily."
A plan to get Lily. I can only guess what your ingenious mind has come up with!" Sirius answered sarcasm evident in his voice. James chose to ignore this and continued.
"We need to start a game of Truth or Dare."
"You're kidding right?" Sirius glanced skeptically at James.
"No! I was up all last night working out every single detail"
"Prongs, it's Truth or Dare, how many 'details' can there be?"
"Enough. Now here's what I thought we could try…"
~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ugggghh" Lily grunted in frustration as she took down her hair for the 57th time. She had been sitting in front of the stupid mirror for half an hour trying to figure out what to do with her God forsaken hair.
"Lily since when did you spend hours in front of the mirror doing your hair? It used to only take you seconds to either brush it out or put it up!" Tara asked walking over to her friend.
"Don't even start with me. You know very well why I have been sitting at this stupid mirror all morning!" She snapped glaring at her reflection.
"Here, let me help." Tara replied laughing, taking Lily's hairbrush.
Ten minutes later Lily, Tara, Lynette and Maria were on their way to McGonagall's office on the 3rd floor.
"You nervous Lily?" Maria questioned.
"No, why would you think that?" Lily answered, though her hands were becoming uncomfortably sweaty.
"Well because you're all quiet, which never happens and you keep clenching and unclenching your hands in a very edgy way, and is that makeup I see on your face and do I smell perfume?" Maria teased.
"Maria, I shouldn't be the one nervous, you should be the one sweating bullets, you just basically told all of the Marauders that you have a thing for Remus. Now you have to be in the same room with him for five hours!"
"Yeah, so?" Maria replied nonchalantly
Sometimes Lily was a little jealous of Maria's carefree attitude. She never let a guy make her nervous, even if he did she never showed it. She was always the one to break the uncomfortable silence. She had a fun loving attitude and was always the life of the party, never scared to do anything.
Lily was the total opposite of Maria, she was always the cautious one, the one that hated taking chances. The boring one, the one that was afraid to come out of her shell and show everyone the real her. The only people that knew the real Lily was Maria, Lynette and Tara. Her best friends.
The girls reached Professor McGonagall's office and stepped in. Lily looked around. McGonagall was seated at her desk reading a book and Remus was sitting in a small wooden chair reading a book as well. Peter was seated next to Remus staring blankly at the opposite wall. McGonagall glanced up from her book in said in a monotone voice, "Please ladies have a seat." And went back to reading her book. Lily and he friends each sat down on the hard wooden chairs, all of them trying to find a comfortable sitting position as the chairs were terribly hard and bumpy. Lily checked her watch, five minutes left until James and Sirius were supposed to be sitting next to them.
"Alright," McGonagall began as she stood up stiffly five minutes later. "Since as of right now there are only fo…" she was suddenly cut off by her large wooden door slamming into the wall and two boys stumbling in.
"We're here with five seconds to spare!" Sirius announced triumphantly. Remus rolled his eyes, Maria, Tara and Lynette giggled while Lily just smiled. Though the Professor did not look amused.
"I do not approve tardiness." She said sternly her beady black eyes flashing.
"But, we aren't tardy." Sirius reminded her flashing her a brilliant smile. Lily's heart skipped a beat.
"Boys, I don't have time for this nonsense. Take a seat please." McGonagall pointed to her nice wooden chairs. James and Sirius sauntered over to where she was pointing. As James walked by he winked at Lily, causing her to glare in his direction. Why did he have to be so conceited?
"I have decided your detention will be located in a empty room containing only a couple of books. You will be forced to spend all afternoon with the people you have come to like so much." She glared over at the girls. "Please follow me."
Everyone lifted themselves out of the timber chairs and followed the pompous Professor down the long corridor. McGonagall came to a stop at a large wooden door. She whispered something to it and stepped back. The students watched as the door swung open revealing a small room with one stack of books in the far corner.
"This is where you will be spending the next five hours. Enjoy." She motioned for them to step into the room. And with that the door slammed shut causing Peter to jump.
"Well, I must say this should be a interesting experience." James ventured a smile playing at his lips.
"Right." Lily agreed as she walked over to the pile of books. "A very good time for me to read something interesting." She picked the first book of the stack and immediately sat down and began to read.
"I'm with Lily." Remus said as he too walked over to the heap of books and chose one.
"I can already tell we're going to have loads of fun today." Maria said sarcastically. James snorted. Lynette and Tara walked over to where Lily was sitting and slumped against the wall next to her. Sirius and James pulled out a game of Exploding Snap and began playing while Peter watched eagerly. Leaving Maria still standing by the door. She slowly inched over to where Remus was sitting and kind of sat right next to him.
Lily chuckled to herself as she watched her best friend walk over to Remus and sit right down next to him. Not to seem too obvious! Maria just had no shame. Unlike Lily who was conscious about every single move she made around a guy. Maria just did whatever she thought was necessary to win the guy she had her eye on. Lily returned to her book. One of the most boring she had read in a long time. In her haste to look cool and collected she picked the book directly off the top of the stack, '500 Magical Uses for a Common Weed." Fun fun.
Lily then glanced over to where James and Sirius were seated. Sure James was good looking, with his unruly black hair that gave him a cute boyish look. His hazel eyes blended into his tanned skin. And he certainly had a good body, but he was so arrogant and big headed! He always thought he needed to show off and impress her. Him and his stupid quidditch, good looks and all of the girls chasing him around…there was a lot to be impressed about. But that wasn't what made Lily fall for a guy. She would have liked James if he hadn't been so conceited and if he wasn't so self- absorbed.
She took her eyes off of James and glanced over at Sirius. He was amazing. His smile, oh his smile was to die for. His teeth were perfectly straight and his face seemed to light up whenever his lips curved into a gentle smile, giving him an effect of something unreal. His dark hair fell freely into his intense blue eyes that gave him a relaxed and fun loving look. But those eyes, they seemed to be able to look right inside of you, pierce right into your very sole and read your every thought. His eyes always seemed to be sparked with laughter and mischievousness. But there had been a couple of times that Lily had seen his dashing blue eyes turn deadly. He was very protective and territorial. He protected everyone he loved and made sure no one hurt them. He was a true friend. Plus he was modest. A characteristic that James lacked.
Lily was knocked out of her thoughts when Tara gently nudged her in the ribs.
"Lily you better close your mouth before you catch a couple of flies." She teased
"Huh?" Lily asked confused.
"Stop staring girl, before you make it completely obvious that you have a 'thing' for Sirius."
"I wasn't staring at Sirius I was watching their card game!" Lily protested blushing.
"Uh huh, whatever you say, but I think Lynette has come up with a good plan to get you and Sirius together!" Lynette scooted over to where Lily was seated and began explaining.
"Alright, I thought maybe we should start a game of Truth or Dare."
"Ok…"
"Then after the sixth dare either me, Maria or Tara should dare Sirius to kiss you!" Lynette finished a look of pure delight in her hazel eyes.
You know, that just might work." Tara replied looking over at Lily who wasn't so sure about the idea.
"Um, guys, I haven't exactly had a million kisses in my life time. What if I am a crappy kisser? What if I like bite his lip on accident or something, I mean what if…"
"Lily, my gosh shut it ok. No more what ifs. Ok? Anything could happen including that he loves the kiss and he wants more!!" Tara told her.
"Yeah…but."
"But nothing Lily, it's going to happen." Lynette said finalizing the idea.
Lily looked over at her best friend's excited face and couldn't help but smile. Lynette was usually very shy and quiet around people, but around Lily, Tara and Maria she was completely outgoing, fun and laid-back. Not many people knew that Lynette was a huge dreamer. Not to mention the fact that she could come up with plans in seconds. She was a true friend, one that would never let you down.
~*~*~*~*~
"So will you finish telling me the idea now?" Sirius asked James
"Yeah, well I thought a good way to get Lily and me together is to kiss."
"Ok…"
"Well, I thought if we started a Truth or Dare game and on the seventh dare you, Peter or Remus dared Lily to kiss me."
"That could work…" Sirius replied thoughtfully, brushing away a couple of black wisps. "Think of the dares we could do…"
Sirius began rambling about something having to do with dares, but James wasn't really listening. He was too busy staring over at Lily. She was so beautiful. Her long wavy auburn hair was pulled back into a messy bun and her emerald green eyes were filled with concentration as she read her book. Oh how he loved her eyes. They were like gems yet always filled with emotion. She was just astounding. She was one of the smartest students in all of Hogwarts, even though she was a mudblood. Though she wasn't very popular, she was extremely nice to whoever came her way. Except him. But God how he loved that girl. James let out a sigh of frustration. And went back to listening to Sirius's ramble.
The first hour moved on like that. Pretty boring. Remus was completely engulfed in his book and it was starting to get on Maria's nerves. She was never ignored and he was doing a pretty good job of it. Lynette and Tara sat in a corner gossiping. Sirius and James were still playing Exploding Snap but without much enthusiasm as they were becoming extremely bored. Whilst Lily tried to concentrate on the most boring and pointless book she had ever read in her entire life. Though she was finding it quite hard not just because it was boring, but because in an hour or so, she would have to do the unthinkable…in front of James.
