Danny groaned at the bright sunlight that greeted his eyes when he opened
them. . . God, he had a headache.
He pulled at the quilt around him, deciding he could get another few hours of sleep in.
Then he sat up with confusion when something prevented him from pulling the quilt more comfortably around him.
His stomach plummeted as he cast his eyes on the tanned brunette who was lying asleep next to him. . .
"Oh, brilliant. . ." he muttered guitily, falling back into his pillows. "Of all the LOWEST things I could ever do. . . I'm never getting drunk again."
The brunette - what was her name? Melissa. . .? Or was it Melanie? - chose that moment to roll over and bang into him.
The collision woke her up. She blinked at him sleepily a few times before a grin formed on her face. "Morning," she said happily.
Danny swallowed hard. "Erm. . . hi."
She smiled, tracing circles on his arm, as she seemed to wake up a bit. "I've got to admit, I'm surprised. . ." she said quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"We-ell. . . Just. . . I didn't think you and Evans would EVER split up. Yet. . . here you are. . ." she grinned at him again.
Danny stared at her, not knowing what to say. Then, he quickly grabbed his wand - which was lay on the bedside cabinet - in a panic.
"Obliviate!" he said, pointing his wand towards her.

Lily giggled, tucking her legs underneath her as she took another sip of pumpkin juice.
"Liar," she accused, looking at James with her eyebrows raised.
"It's true!" he exclaimed, not moving from his position at the foot of Lily's bed.
"And you never got caught?" she asked, amazed.
"Nope."
"HOW?"
"Ah, I'm afraid I can't tell. Marauder secrets," he grinned.
Lily rolled her eyes and scoffed, but was grinning all the same. "You've been saying that all night," she informed him. " 'Marauder Secrets' "
James laughed. "Well, we have a lot of secrets. . ." Then he glanced down at his watch. "But bloody hell, you're right. I HAVE been saying that all night. Did you know it was six in the morning?!"
"Six?" Lily cried, spluttering on her pumpkin juice. "Well, I thought it might be TWO, or something. . ."
"Nope. Definitely six o'clock," he answered. He stared at her for a few moments before a smile formed on his face. "Hmm. Here I am at 6am, after just spending the entire night in Lily Evans' bed. . ."
"ON Lily Evans' bed," Lily corrected with a smirk. "You just never know when to give up, do you? And if you dare put it that way to Danny-"
"Oh, forget about Noonan," James groaned, rolling over onto his back. "We've not talked about him for - what? A whole ten hours?"
"We've been here ten hours?" Lily looked pretty surprised by that news. "Wow. That passed fast."
James considered this, looking pretty surprised himself. "Yeah. You're right. . . I've never just talked to someone for that long. All night."
"Well, I've done it with my friends, but never with a boy. . ."
James smiled. "Hmm. Wasn't too bad, was it?"
"No," Lily grinned. "It was fun, actually. Learnt a lot about you."
"And I you."
She smiled, shaking her hair behind her shoulder. James stared at her with wonder, a look that Lily caught.
"So. . . God, I'm knackered now that I now I've been up all night," she murmured, slightly uncomfortably by the way James was looking at her, as she pulled her hair into a bobble.
James caught her arm as she was tying it in a high pony.
"Leave it down," he instructed softly.
"What?"
"Leave your hair down," he repeated. "It looks. . . Really great, all tumbling around your shoulders, like that. . ."
She cleared her throat, feeling suddenly embarrassed. "But. . ." she mumbled half-heartedly.
James rolled his eyes, snapping out of his fixation with Lily's hair. "But Danny likes it up," he mimicked, knowing what she was going to say.
Lily smiled guiltily. "Yeah."
James rubbed his eyes tiredly. "Don't let him live your life for you, Lils."
"I don't!" "Yes, you do." He turned his fixated stare upon her again. "And you shouldn't. You're AMAZING, Lily. . . Okay, I admit it. When I first liked you, I just thought you were hot. Then stuff happened and I realised I REALLY liked you. . . And now I've just spent the entire night just talking to you. A really good night. And I've never talked that much to anyone. You're just. . . amazing." Then, a blush crept up to his cheekbones and he stared at the bedspread. "Um. . . yeah. I'll shut up now."
Lily laughed, grabbing his chin and forcing him to look at her. "Did I just see James Potter BLUSH?" she cried, giggling.
James rolled his eyes. "Shut up," he muttered.
"Hmm," Lily replied, smiling. "So you think I'm amazing, huh?"
If James had been embarrassed about sharing his feelings before, he didn't show it then. Shrugging carelessly, he nodded. "Yep. You are."
"Well. . . Thanks."
James ran a hand through his hair, messing it up, and grinned. "No problem," he replied, moving towards her.
And suddenly his lips were upon hers, kissing her hungrily as he pushed her back down on the bed.
"James. . ." Lily groaned after a few moments, gently pushing him away from her.
James sighed impatiently, but inside he knew that she was going to have pushed him away. "But Lils-" he pleaded.
"I can't," she said simply. "Not yet."
"Not yet?" James repeated, frowning with surprise.
"Not while I'm with Danny."
James' eyes lit up, ad he grinned at her. "You're going to break up with him?" he exclaimed.
"I. . . I don't know. No. I don't know."
The grin faded from his face.
"Look, James," she sighed, standing up off the bed and grabbing his hand. "Don't ruin this, okay? Tonight was fun." She led him slowly towards the door. "And now I'm just going to sleep for a few hours, then I'll get ready and meet you for breakfast about ten-ish, yeah?"
James sighed, as she opened the door and gently pushed him out. "Fine," he mumbled.
"I'll see you later," she said, as she slowly closed the door.
"Yeah, alright. Catch you later," were the last words he said before he walked off.
