Chapter 4 - Helping with Homework

'Hey Prongs,'
'Oh, hey Moony,'
'What are you doing?'
'This stupid Charms essay,'
'Oh,' said Remus, 'having troubles?'
'YES! It makes no absolute bloody sense!' said James, 'Say Moony, your pretty good at Charms, do you think you could help me?' he said looking hopeful.
'No,' James' face fell.
'Why not?'
'Because I know someone who is even better at Charms than me, and.she just happens to be the girl you fancy!' said Remus, 'Hey, Lily!' He called.
Lily turned around to see who had called her name. 'Yes?' she answered, while walking over to where they were sitting.
'James needs help on his Charms homework. Do you think you could help him out a bit?'
She smiled and said, 'Sure,' She came over and sat down in the chair beside James.
'Well, I have to get to the library! See ya!' said Remus, winking at James.
'So,' said Lily, 'what do you need help on?'
'Umm.everything. I don't get any of it.'
'Okay,' she said, 'name something that you don't get and we'll go from there.'
'Umm.how do you move your wand for that Costello charm?' he asked.
'Okay,' she said, while picking up her wand, 'you have to wave it in a circular motion.'
'Like this?' he asked, making a circle in the air with his wand.
She laughed, 'No, like this,' and she picked up her wand and demonstrated for him.
'Oh,' he said, moving his wand again, 'like that?'
She smiled again. 'Not quite, but almost,' she said, 'here,' she took his arm in her hand and he could feel electricity shoot up throughout his body.
'Quidditch was good to him,' she thought, while feeling his muscles.
'She's feeling my muscles!' he thought excitedly.
They were both subconsciously moving closer. Their eyes locked for the longest time.
She was so close he could feel her soft breath upon his face.
Finally, their lips met. It was a sweet kiss, and all they were aware of was the person on the other end.
James felt like he was in heaven. Of all the times he had dreamt about it, he had never imagined it like this. This..was wonderful.
Lily pulled away reluctantly. She looked up into his deep brown eyes and saw love. And need.
She bit her lip, frowning.
'James, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let that happen.' She said.
'Yes! You should have!' said James smiling, while caressing her cheek. 'Do you realize how long I've dreamed about that?'
She smiled sadly at him and cupped his face with her hand. He leaned into her touch with a look of need on his face. She started to pull away when he grabbed her hand lightly and caressed his own cheek with it.
'Go to the dance with me,' he said. It was not a question. It was a mere statement. She pulled her hand out of his grip.
She smiled sadly again. 'I can't.I'm sorry,' She watched his expression turn from happiness to hurt, and she felt bad.
'Why?' he asked, she could hear his voice shaking.
She cupped his face again, and yet again, he leaned into her touch.
'I already promised Amos that I'd go with him.'
'But I thought you told him no!' James exclaimed.
'I did, but he asked me again, and I didn't think that you had gotten the hint that I wanted you to ask me, so I said yes.' She said.
'Oh,' he said, still looking hurt, 'then I guess I'll see you later.' He said miserably.
'Yeah,' she replied in the same tone as him.
He looked into her eyes before getting up and walking up the steps to his dormitory.
