For the Love of Games

"Are you ready to go honey?" Mrs. Evans asked her youngest daughter from the bottom of the stairs.
"I'll be down in a second mom!" Lily answered.
Lily Evans had just turned seventeen and was going into her last and final year at Hogwarts. She was also the new Head Girl. Lily had auburn hair that came down past her shoulders and beautiful emerald green eyes.
Lily grabbed her trunk and her owl Snowball, and went downstairs. She was going to her best friend Emma's house for a pool party and staying there for the remainder of the summer. Lily had been looking forward to this all summer; that is until Emma told her that the Marauder's would be there. Lily didn't have a problem with Remus, Sirius, or Peter; it was just James Potter that she had a problem with. Ever since their first year they had been enemies.

*****************Flashback***************

Lily had been helping a fellow first year, Frank Longbottom, search for his toad, but little did she know that someone had already found it. Somebody named James Potter. James had put the toad on Lily's head and it peed on her. Ever since then Lily and James had been worst enemies, until fourth year when James developed a crush on her. At least once a week he would ask her out and her answer was always no.

*************End of Flashback***********

When Lily arrived at Emma's house she saw Emma and Katie (her other best friend) running towards her.
"Have a good time hon," Mrs. Evans said.
"I will," Lily replied, "see you at Christmas!"
She gave her mom a hug and went to be greeted by Emma and Katie.
"Hey Lils!" Katie said, "How was your summer?"
"Hey Katie and it was alright. I really missed you guys though," Lily said.
"Oh how toughing," James said,"my little flower missed me. I missed you too Lily dearest."
"Shut up Potter!" Lily spat.
"Well look on the bright side, at least you got us," Katie said.
"Yea," Emma added, "and Peter won't be here either; he's on vacation in Paris."
Lily just sighed and took her stuff into Emma's living room.
When she came back outside Remus and Sirius had arrived.
"Why don't we go into the pool now," Emma said.
"Alright!" James said, Remus nodded, and Sirius had already run inside to change.
When all the girls had finished changing they went out to the pool, where all three of the boys already were.
No sooner they heard James, "Lookin good Lily!"
"Potter! If you don't shut up!"
"You'll what? Snog me?" That sounds like a good idea."
"ARG! I give up!" Lily said, now really annoyed.
"Let's play a game!" Sirius said. "Come on let's play a game! I wanta play a game! Game, game, game!"
"Ok, ok," Emma said, "what do you want to play?"
"Hmmm...........how about Marco Polo!" Sirius exclaimed.
Everyone agreed.
"I want to be Marco first!" James said.
And so the game began.
"Marco!"
"Polo!"
"Marco!"
"Polo!"
James was getting really close to somebody and that somebody was Lily.
"Marco!"
When Lily said "Polo," she accidentally sneezed and she knew it was all over.
James grabbed her around the waist and pulled her towards him. Lily looked into his eyes, big mistake. Those big hazel eyes that you could get lost in. She noticed that they seemed to be getting closer. Then it hit her. This is James Potter. She pulled away from him but not before slapping him, hard, on the face.
"I love you too!" James said with a wide grin on his face.
"And I love you too Jamsie," Sirius said, batting his eyelashes.
Lily however didn't hear them, she was already inside changing. I can't believe him! James is no Potter, not James, is such an arrogant, conceited, prick!

***********After Dinner**********

It was about ten o'clock and everyone was in their sleeping bags. They had arranged them in a circle on the living room floor. The order was: James, Sirius, Emma, Remus, Katie, and then Lily, which meant James was on her other side.
Then Sirius said,"I wants play a game! Can we play a game? Please, please, please!"
"Ok, ok, sheesh," Emma said. "What do you want to play?"
"Hmmm.........how about spin the bottle!" Sirius answered.
"Yea!" James exclaimed as he looked over at Lily.
"Ok," Katie said.
Oh man! Thought Lily, now I'm going to have to kiss Jam....no....Potter! This day can't get any worse. Then it did.
"How about we make it a little bit more interesting?" Sirius asked.
I'm afraid to ask," Emma said.
Sirius continued, "When you spin the bottle and it ends up on someone that you don't want to kiss, you have to take off an article of clothing."
"Yeah!" James agreed, so either way he would win. He would get a kiss from Lily or see her take off her clothes. Can this day get any better? James thought to himself.
Sirius spun first and got Emma.
"Come on down!" he said with a cute boyish grin on his face.
They went into the hall closet and came out a couple minutes later. Sirius was grinning from ear to ear and Emma looked like she just had the time of her life.
Next Remus spun and got Sirius.
"Sorry dude," Remus said as he removed his shirt (nobody was wearing socks, just so you know).
"Oh come on Remy, why not!" Sirius exclaimed in a girly voice.
Next Katie spun and got Sirius.
"Yea three for me!" Sirius said as he walked into the closet with Katie. A couple of seconds later they came out and Sirius looked like Christmas had been canceled.
Next James spun and got, yep you guessed it, Sirius.
"Yea! I got Jamsie!" Sirius said.
"I'm not kissing you," James said as he removed his shirt.
Next Lily spun figuring that she too would get Sirius, but how wrong she was. She looked up and saw that she had gotten Potter.
"So snog or strip?" James asked.
"Kiss," Lily said miserably.
"Go Prongs!" Sirius said.
James and Lily were sitting in the closet staring at the floor. Then Lily looked into his eyes, bad idea. Those beautiful hazel eyes......her and James got closer, only this time she didn't pull away. Their lips touched and before they knew it they were snogging like there was no tomorrow. Ten minutes later they heard a knock on the door and they stopped.
Before they left Lily said, "I'm warning you Jam.....Potter, you tell anyone and I will personally kill you."
James just stood there trying to figure out what happened. One minute he had been staring at the floor and the next his tongue was in her mouth. What a night! Can't wait to see the looks on Sirius and Remus faces when I tell them.
