Chapter two

Golden sunlight filtered through the windows and fell on the red and gold bed covers. Sighing Lily Evans turned over on her pillow. Being head girl does have its perks, like your own room she thought happily. Stretching Lily rose from her four-poster bed and walked to the bathroom. She reveled in the long glorious showers she didn't get at home and took her own sweet time drying her hair and dabbing on the hint of makeup she wore. When she opened the door again Lily saw a bouquet of red roses on her bedside table. Questioningly she picked them up. The thick smell filled her nose and made her lightheaded. Dreamily she drew in a deep breath and sighed softly. After lazily contemplating the sudden appearance of the flowers the examined the bouquet gently Lily found a tag on the side. It read:

"Love from the Bigheaded Git."

A smile creased Lily's face as she thought about James. He was the only one she would have called a bigheaded git so it must be his flowers. But why did he send them to her? Was it an apology or an act of love and friendship? On the other hand, was he just hitting on her again? After musing over these happy thoughts for a moment Lily's mind sauntered to her boyfriend Amos Diggory. Would he mind if James sent her flowers? He'd never cared when James asked her out before. Anyway Amos was never around anyway. He rarely talked to Lily, never mind kissed her.

Now frowning Lily conjured up a vase for her flowers and sat on her unmade bed. What was going on with Amos? She questioned. Does he still love me? Rubbing her temples gently she heaved a sigh. Almost as if to answer her question a knock sounded on the door. Opening it she saw Amos leaning against the doorframe with a classic elegance Potter would've never been able to manage. He smiled slightly and handed her the flowers. Lily blushed but hid it by burring her head in the bouquet as she let him in to her chaotic room.

"Sorry I've been so distant lately." He said propping himself up against the post on her bed. "It's just my mum wasn't doing so well after my dad died"

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lily asked sitting on her bed

Amos shrugged as he sat down beside her, "I didn't want to make what we had between us more complicated" he said, his voice husky. "Hope you understand." He ran a gentle finger down Lily's cheek.

"Of course I do" Lily said wrapping her arms around Amos. He hugged her back and kissed her softly saying, "Thank you Lily"

Her talk with Diggory had made her late for her first class of the day, Arithmancy. Running down the dusty deserted corroders she didn't hear the footsteps of another tardy student barreling toward her. Whipping around a corner she ran smack into a torso. The body grabbed her hand to keep her from falling and pulled her to his chest. Lily breathed in the spicy sweet scent of the man holding her up. Gentle fingers unwrapped themselves from her wrist and egged her chin up. Her green eyes meeting hazel she recognized the humor echoing in them. Her lips parted in a smile as she softly commented, " thanks for the flowers James"

Wow, she's so beautiful when she's not mad at me, James though, not that she's not cute when she yells but… I just want to kiss her, just once… HE shook his head slightly and instead of kissing her replied coyly "So we're on first name basis now Lils."

"First name not nickname" she said fighting the urge to stay wrapped in his arms, "anyway I have to go, I'm late for Arithmancy" She was glad he was still holding her with one arm because one glance into those laughing hazel eyes made her heart turn to butter. His messy black hair falling into his eyes, his perfect smile, his wonderfully tall build all surprised her that he did not have his own religion, mind you with all his fan clubs it was pretty close.

James tilted his head to one side, sending shivers down Lily's spine, it was as if he could undress her with his eyes. Knowing what would happen if she looked up at him she inspected her shoes instead.

"Fair enough, your welcome by the way, I know I've been a prat lately and I wanted to apologizes." James huskily replied. I just want to hold her and never let her go, wipe the traces of fear and grief from her eyes with my kisses and let her know what love really felt like.

"It's alright, but that doesn't mean you can jinx Snape anymore." She replied laughing. She looks so pretty when she laughs, James smiled to himself. This is probably the greatest moment of my life. She's in my arms, willingly, not that I'd hurt her like that, but she's not pushing me away!

"Sigh" James mockingly replied, "If you say so"

"I have to go, thanks again James" Lily unwillingly prying herself away from him. He stood there and watched the woman of his dreams walk away, turning at the corner to grace him with her smile. James moaned lovingly and slid down the wall. Who needs care for magical creatures when they don't talk about Lily Evans he thought running over what just happened in his mind again and again.

Men are so odd; Lily thought to herself as she slipped into her Arithmancy classroom unnoticed. One moment they are complete prats and the other foolishly cute. She placed her books on a table near the front and began to copy down the formula on the board. As hard as she tried to concentrate on the formula her mind kept wandering to a certain hazel-eyed flirt. She even found herself running her fingers over the spot were he held her arm. Shaking her head to clear it Lily doubled her efforts on her parchment. Why am I thinking of him, Lily thought, I don't even like him!

Yes you do you just don't want to admit it, her sensible side chided. Rolling her eyes she returned to the formula on the board and was for the most part unsuccessful.
