"Hey Lil." James sat down next to Lily at the Gryfinndor table. It was pretty early but the sun was already shining and the whole Gryfinndor and Slytherin Quidditch teams were up and picking at their breakfast.

"Er, hi." Lily said. She was alone at the moment, mainly because Emma threatened that if Lily woke her up before eight she was going to hex her into the next millennium. So, Lily chose to head to the Great Hall by herself and then maybe go to the library to get some work done. During Quidditch games were the best time to go to the library in Lily's opinion, mostly because no one was there.

"Are you going to the game?" he asked casually running his hands through his hair.

"I wasn't intending to." She replied looking up from the book she was reading.

"What?" James asked surprised, "I thought you said you would think about going with me?"

"I said I would think about it," She explained, "I didn't say I would."

"Will you please go with me?" he begged.

Lily sighed, "How can I go to a Quidditch game with you, if you play on the team?"

"Well come with me now and we can get everything set up." He suggested.

Lily let out a long sigh, "Only as friends?"

"Friends only." He recited.

"And we can start talking about the project?"

"Right, project."

"And no hitting on me."

"Right, you can hit on me."

"And no trying to snog me."

"Snog you all I want. Lil, I got this under control." He grinned as Lily rolled her eyes.

"Fine. But I'm only doing this so we can get a head start on our project." She denied.

"Yeah, yeah," he waved his hand in the air, "Let's go."

James grabbed Lily's hand and led her out to the Quidditch pitch.

"James, how are you possibly supposed to anything set up for a Quidditch game?" Lily asked crossing her hands over her chest.

"I have to do a lot of things." He replied, "And as Captain, I need to make sure everything is going smoothly."

"Sounds like tough work." She rolled her eyes.

"Hey, it is!" he protested.

"So what do you do?" she asked.

"Well first I check the weather." He replied looking around, "Looks like pretty good Quidditch weather to me. What do you think?"

"I wouldn't know what good Quidditch weather would be." She replied shuffling her feet into the ground.

"You really need to get out more."

"Yeah." She laughed, "So what do you do after you check the weather?"

"Let's go check and make sure none of the bludgers are jinxed or something." He replied leading the way to the locker room.

"Okay."

Lily looked around once she entered the locker room. She had never been in there and always wondered what it looked like. There was little room, which was obviously a little office for all the captains; there was little models of the Quidditch pitch everywhere, showers, and of course lockers.

James walked into the office and pulled out a box that held all the balls for the games.

"So what do each of these balls do?" Lily asked walking up from being James.

"You haven't been to one Quidditch game have you?" he asked opening the crate.

"Nope." She replied.

"Well, this one is the Quaffle."

"What does it do?"

"The chasers throw it around and try to get it threw the hoops without the keeper blocking it." He tossed her the ball and she easily caught it, "Are you sure you never played."

"Nope, I hate flying. I'm afraid of heights." She replied, "What do those do?" she asked pointing at the bludgers.

"Bludgers." He replied, "But I'm not taking those out in here. They'll rip this room apart. But they fly around the pitch and try to knock into players and such. Beaters, such as Sirius, hit them with bats at the other players."

"He hits the other players!?" Lily's eyes widened.

"Yeah, but its no big deal."

"Can't someone get seriously hurt?" Lily asked surprised.

"Yeah." He shrugged, "All the time."

"Have you ever gotten hurt?"

"Tons of time. Remember in fourth year when I was in the hospital wing for a week? Well, that was from a bludger attack."

"Oh yes, I remember that." Lily replied, "I called you a wimp and told you to get out of the Hospital Wing."

"Yes you did." He laughed.

"So what do you do?" Lily asked changing the subject.

"I'm the seeker." He replied pulling a small golden ball out of his pocket, "I try to find this, the snitch. Once the seeker catches it, the game is over."

Lily took the tiny ball out of James hand and looked at if from eye level, "What's so interesting about it?"

"It ends the game. But it's not easy to catch." He explained, "It's wicked fast and hard to see."

"Oh I see." She replied handing him the snitch back. He placed it back in his pocket and closed the crate.

"Looks like everything is good here." He stated.

"Now what?"

"Now I usually get in my robes." He replied leaving the office and heading towards a locker. He opened it and pulled out his Quidditch robes.

"Oh ok." Lily casually walked over to the models of the Quidditch pitch while James got changed.

Lily was scanning the 'field', and before she knew it she was scanning James. Luckily, James' eyes were focused on changing and didn't realize Lily was staring right at him. Otherwise, he would've bugged her until she went crazy that she was actually caught looking at James half naked.

She couldn't seem to tear her eyes away from his buff body. It was as if he was a picture she couldn't stop staring at. So picture perfect. His body was covered in muscles, due to long hours of Quidditch practice. She almost felt attracted to him. Once he pulled on his robes Lily quickly forced her eyes to look away before she faces public humiliation.

"Hey you want to go out onto the pitch?" James asked swinging his broomstick over his shoulder.

"Er, sure." Lily said feeling a bit uncomfortable.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah," she replied shrugging off her feelings, "Great."

"Alright then, let's go." He replied exiting the locker room.

Lily and James found themselves back on the Quidditch pitch with nothing left to do. There was still at least a half hour before the rest of the school and Quidditch team would be coming out to the pitch.

"Should we just head back?" Lily suggested.

"Nah," James replied, "It's pointless. By the time we get there, it'll be time to come back."

"Good point." She replied, "Can I see your broom?"

"My broom?" he asked surprised, "I thought you were afraid of flying?"

"I just want to see it." She stated.

"Alright." He replied, "I'm just a little worried about it because you always threaten to snap it."

"I won't snap it." She insisted.

"Alright," he replied cautiously handing it over to her, "I trust you."

Lily took the broom into her hand and looked at it from every angle. A few minutes passed in silence.

"Will you teach me?" she asked suddenly.

"What?" James turned around from staring at the stands.

"Will you teach me?" she repeated.

"Teach you to fly?" he asked confused.

"Yeah." She replied.

"But I thought your afraid of flying?" he asked.

"Okay fine, don't teach me." she replied handing him the broom back.

"No, its ok." He quickly stated.

"Alright."

"Okay well first get on the broom." He said holding the broom out in front of her.

Lily got on the broom and looked a little confused.

"I don't think I can do it." She started to get off the broom but James quickly stopped her.

"Don't give up." He replied grinning, "Here I'll help you."

James got on the back of the broom and put his arms around Lily's waist and rested them on her hands, which were held tight around the handle.

"Now you have to kick off." He said kicking his feet off the ground. Lily quickly closed her eyes shut and immediately slid back closer to James.

"It's okay." He said looking around at her face.

"I'm just afraid I'll fall off." She said opening her eyes and bit and looking down.

"I promise I wont let you fall." He said.

"Okay." She replied, not sounding too convincing.

"C'mon Lil, don't you trust me?" he asked.

"Yeah, of course." She replied relaxing a little, "Just a bit nervous."

"Would you like to steer?" he asked.

"Really?"

"Sure." James moved his hands off hers and let her steer the broomstick, "Want to go faster?"

"Um, sure." She agreed.

The broomstick was soon going fast, faster than Lily ever wanted to go. She soon got nervous and almost felt as if she couldn't control the broom. Next thing she knew, they were heading towards the wall. James quickly grabbed the handle and made a sharp turn. They skimmed the wall and fell onto the floor.

Lily toppled off the broom and found James lying on top of her.

It was as if they were both in some sort of trance, neither one of them wanted to unlock their eyes from on another.

"Fun, huh?" James whispered quietly.

"Yeah, a lot better than when I first flew in first year. That was terrible-"

James quickly cut her off and started to kiss her. Hey, he couldn't help it. After a few minutes of non-stop snogging they broke apart. Their cheeks turned pink and James realized he was still on top of Lily. He quickly rolled off her, although he really didn't want to.

They both sat up. No one said anything, but the awkward silence ended when they heard some of the school and Quidditch teams heading towards the pitch for the game.

"I guess I better go." James said, wishing he could spend the whole afternoon with Lily.

"Yeah…" she replied standing up, "Maybe I'll see you after the game."

"I'll look forward to that." He tried to hide his grin.

"Good luck." She replied heading towards the stands to find Emma.

"Thanks." He called after her.

James headed to the locker rooms to find the rest of the team for the game. It was as if he floated to the locker rooms. Not only did he spend his morning with Lily Evans, but he got to kiss her and not once did she yell at him or call him an egotistical prat.

~*~

James' spirits were still high during the game. He saw Lily watching him four times and each time it was as if he got a shot of adrenaline that made him want to find the snitch faster, just so he can see Lily afterwards.

James quickly found the snitch, although it was a bloody brutal game. Mostly because it was Gryfinndor versus Slytherin, the two teams who are known to play the dirtiest. But, of course, Gryfinndor pounded Slytherins, with the game ending two hundred-fifty to one hundred-twenty. James caught the snitch and did a victory lap around the pitch before heading off to the locker rooms to shower. And as always, a part was waiting in the common room for the whole team.

"Great job mates!" Remus congratulated James and Sirius with a pat on their backs and a butterbeer in their hands.

"Thanks." They replied.

The party was going great…just like any other party they had that was due to last well into the night. But, James didn't want to party, he wanted to see Lily.

He soon spotted his affection and made his way over to her. She was sitting with Emma and chatting away happily and sipping from a butterbeer bottle. James sat down next to Lily on the couch and she turned around, not to surprised to see him.

"Hello Potter." She replied.

"Evans." He nodded his head, "Wallis."

"Evening, Potter." Emma replied, "Great game."

"Thank you very much."

"And I see you played even better today. Perhaps because a certain someone was convinced to go?" she asked, her eyes glittering with excitement.

"Emma." Lily said sternly.

"Don't worry, Lil. I can take a hint." She laughed and stood up, "I'll leave you two alone."

"Bye Emma." Lily glared at her friends retreating back.

"So, want to talk?" James asked.

"Sure, but not in here, I'm getting a headache." She said rubbing her temples. It was highly likely that Sirius managed to get the music to go louder than usual. James felt his head begin to pound also.

"Me too. Let's go take a walk." He suggested.

James and Lily fought their way threw the crowd. They finally made their way out of the portrait and into the empty hallways.

"So…" Lily started, "Great game today."

"Thanks." He replied shoving his hands in his pockets.

"It was very interesting…kinda hard to follow…but very interesting."

"Maybe you'll go to more?" he asked.

"Maybe."

There was a few more awkward moments of silence before James couldn't help it anymore. Next thing he knew he found himself snogging Lily again. And he couldn't help but notice she wasn't pushing him away.

After a few minutes Lily broke it off, "James I cant do this."

James banged his head against the wall. Dang I need to control myself. If I'm trying to get her to like me, snogging her when she doesn't want to isn't going to help.

"Okay maybe I can do this." Lily replied kissing James again.

This time, James pulled away, "Lily if you don't want to do this, I don't either."

Lily paused and walked across the hall. She leaned against the wall and caught her breath. James leaned against the opposite wall and just stared at her with confusion written all over his face.

"Lily, do you have feelings for me?" he blurted out.

"I don't know." She replied, "I've always found you a bit annoying. But I guess you've changed this year. And now that it's coming to an end soon, I've realized you have grown up a bit."

"Good to see you noticed." He grinned.

"Yeah…" she said quietly.

Footsteps and a familiar voice were heard coming down the hallway, "You two snuck out of the party and now you're just sitting on opposite ends of an empty corridor. Are you nutters? Why aren't you snogging?"

"Padfoot." James groaned. Sirius walked up to the two and looked like they were mentally insane.

"Everyone at the party is expecting me to come back with some amazing snog story between the two of you, what am I supposed to tell them? That I found you two on opposite ends of a corridor?" Sirius asked.

"For your information, Sirius," Lily butted in, "We already snogged."

"Good to hear that someone's being honest." Sirius said putting his arm around Lily's shoulders, "So are you two a couple yet?"

James looked at Lily and shrugged.

"I don't know." Lily said, "James hasn't asked me yet."

"PRONGS! Do I have to send you to St. Mungo's!? Ask the girl out already!" Sirius demanded.

"I asked her out a million times already!" James defended himself.

"And your about to ask her a million and one times." Sirius stated the obvious.

"Fine, Lil maybe do you want to-"

"You ask her out for six years. But by the time you might actually have a chance you're taking forever and making it sound bad. Repeat after me Prongs, 'Lily would you like to be my official snogging partner? We can snog whenever we want because you would be my girlfriend.'"

Lily couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Sirius had to hold her up because she was laughing so hard.

"Sirius do I have to?" he asked pleadingly.

Sirius looked towards Lily and she nodded her head, "Good choice, Lil. Yup, Prongs. You have to, now pop the question."

"Lily would you like to be my official snogging partner? We can snog whenever we want because you would be my girlfriend." He said smiling.

"It's funny how you memorized that so fast," Sirius butted in, "Maybe that's because you've been preparing that speech every morning in the mirror for the past six years." Sirius burst out laughing.

"Could you shut up for one minute, Padfoot, so she can answer me?"

Lily stopped laughing and tried to act serious and sighed dramatically, "Sure, I guess."

"Wahoo!" Sirius cried, "Finally! It took Prongs six years to get you to say that. I can finally fall asleep in peace without him carrying on how you're going to hate him forever." Sirius said hugging Lily.

"Thank you so much, Padfoot, for sharing all my secrets tonight." James said dryly.

"Yes, let's see. I've learned you've asked me out a million and one times, you prepare a speech to me every morning, and you talk about me all the time." She started laughing again.

"I think it's time for you to leave, Padfoot." James said taking Sirius' arm off of Lily's shoulders and replacing it with his arm.

"Fine. Since I am obviously not wanted here, I'll just go back to the party where my adoring fans are." He pretended to cry, "Catch you newly-lovers later."

With that Sirius left. Once again Lily and James were in the corridor together.

"So, you really want to date me?" James asked hugging Lily.

"Yeah. You've certainly changed." She replied hugging him back.

"Good." He sighed with relief, "And now that you're my girlfriend I can snog you when I want, and hug you when I want, and hold you hand when I want." He carried on.

"Uh huh," Lily replied burying her face in James' chest.

I'm going out with James Potter…I'm going out with James Potter…Lily thought to herself smiling…Maybe it won't be bad at all.
