Blame: James and Lily's first kiss.
Lily Evans, that beautiful red-head with the gorgeous green eyes, waved cheerily to James Potter. He did naught but stare at her, until the voice of his best friend broke into his thoughts.
"You know, staring dreamily at her picture isn't going to help get her on your good side." James gave the speaker a sour look.
"Thanks for the advice, Sirius. Tell me, how do I get her on my good side?" James' voice was bitter and sarcastic and, by the look on his face, Sirius Black was a bit taken aback.
"Woah, I didn't mean it like that. Take a chill pill, man."
James sighed. "I know. It's just that this frustrates me."
Sirius clapped a reassuring hand across James' shoulders. "Why don't you just ask her?" James thought about it for about five seconds, then rushed out of the room, leaving Sirius standing in wonder next to James' bed.
Meanwhile, the young mister Potter was walking briskly though the halls. Most people stepped out of his way as he wasn't paying much attention to the other occupants of the hallways and James had the slight reputation of getting away with hexing others for fun. All of this was working to his advantage until he actually did run into someone.
James looked up, ready to hex whomever it was, and fell into shocked silence. Who should he run into except the very person he was rushing to meet?
Lily Evans gazed a James Potter with a mixture of puzzlement and contempt. "Potter, are you okay?" Her concern, while somewhat real, was hidden behind the tone of her voice.
James' hand immediately and unconsciously mussed his hair. "Yeah, fine." Before he had time to change his mind, James reached out, pulled Lily to him, and kissed her.
It was a quick kiss, and kind of sloppy. Both teens pulled away, and a second later Lily's hand met James' face.
"Don't you dare pull that bullshit with me, Potter!" she said fiercely before whirling about and disappearing down the hall. James stared after her in shock. He probably would have still been standing there had not Remus showed up.
"Hey, James, are you ready for our Defense Against the Dark Orts O.W.L. tomorrow?"
