Ch. 7 The First Prank and Kisses

Lily woke up bright and early the next day, which was a Friday. She happily got dressed and headed down to the Common Room. Only James was down there.

"Mornin' sunshine."

"Good morning James. Will Sirius and Remus be down soon?"

"Yea, they're taking showers. What about Carly?"

"Almost ready. You're sure this prank will work?"

"Yup, I've done it before."

"On who?"

"Sirius and Remus." Lily burst out laughing when James said this, because she knew what the prank was. Just then the other four joined them and they rehearsed what they were going to do one more time. When they were all ready, they headed down to breakfast. They sat down at the table and pretended that everything was normal.

About five minutes into breakfast, Lily whispered, "Femalia Dressium."

Just as James whispered, "Kissorshia."

Suddenly Lucious Malfoy was dressed in a frilly pink ball gown with high- heeled shoes. He lunged himself at Snape and they started to kiss each other passionately. The whole of the Great Hall was falling on the floor in laughing heaps. Even Dumbledore and McGonagall snickered. Malfoy and Snape now had murderous glares plastered on their faces. They tried to rip apart, but they couldn't stop kissing.

Finally Dumbledore stopped laughing enough to say, "Finite Incantetem." Malfoy and Snape stopped kissing abruptly and both of them ran out of the hall as fast as their legs would carry them much to the amusment of the rest of the hall. Once the laughter died down a bit, Lily and James ran out of the hall, unnoticed, still laughing hysterically.

They went up to Gryffindor Tower to get their books. Still laughing they exited the portrait hole and faced each other.

"That was great, James!" Lily managed to say as she gasped for her breath.

"The look on their faces!" Replied James.

And then he didn't know what overtook him. He was still facing Lily, looking into her beautiful green eyes. Beautiful green eyes! Where did that come from?, James thought. And then he didn't know what made him do what he did next. He leaned in and he kissed her. She was a little surprised at first, and then started kissing back.

Cough, cough. They heard, and quickly broke apart. Sirius was standing there, a knowing smile on his face.

"I'm not even going to ask what you're doing, but we're going to be late for Potions," Sirius smirked.

"We weren't doing anything!" James squawked.

"No? So it's perfectly normal for two friends to practically be shoving their tongues down each other's throats?" Sirius said sarcastically.

"Don't tell anyone," Lily pleaded, tears glimmering in her eyes.

"Who me?" said Sirius innocently.

"SIRIUS!"

"Ok, ok I promise! Now come on let's get to Potions."

***Later***

James was sitting in the common room, doing a Charms essay. He'd been avoiding Lily ever since Sirius had caught them kissing. He was so upset with himself. He could've possibly just ruined his friendship with Lily, and he didn't even know why! He had no idea what came over him, and he was ashamed to think about. He tried to drive it out of his mind. He decided he needed to clear his head, so he went to take a walk. On his way out of the common room, though, he ran into Lily. He tried to walk past her without making eye contact, but wasn't very successful.

"James, we need to talk." Lily said seriously.

"Er.yea, we should. Let's go outside."

They walked out the great oak front doors into the bright sunlight, which made them blink. After they were a bit away from the castle, they sat down on the grass, facing each other. James spoke first.

"Listen, Lily, I'm really sorry. I-I'm not sure what came over me."

"Well, I'm sorry too. If you didn't notice, I kissed back." Lily pointed out.

"I kind of enjoyed it." said James as he winced, not knowing if Lily would be mad.

"Me, too." Replied Lily, not looking James in the eye.

"But I don't like you!"

"I don't like you either. I guess I just got caught up in the moment. So, we're cool?"

"We're what?"

"Oh, it's something muggles say. It just means that things are ok between us now."

"Yea, things are cool." James smiled, and Lily returned it. They walked back to the castle together, each in their own little world.
