Chapter 3; What Do You Mean, Stuck?

"What do you mean, stuck?"

"Exactly what I said! What do you think I meant, dunderhead? We're stuck! Did I studder?"

"Don't you dare take that tone of voice with me Potter, I don't want to be here as much as you don't want me here and that's not funny"

He looked at me as if he understood but still had a serious look on his face.

"Potter? You're not laughing..."

"I only laugh if it's a joke..."

I sat down on his bed and put my face in my hands trying to figure out the situation and I let out a frustrated sigh. Potter came and sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. I looked up at him with a glare in attempt to shatter his face again, but I failed. I did get the message through, he immeadiatly took his arm off of me and said, "OK Evans, don't bite me."

I chuckled to myself while remembering first year; Potter had done something to make my friends and I want to curse him into next week and he was especially taunting me so I threatened to bite him, he said, "You wouldn't dare", and knowing me, if you say that, I will, "You think so?", and I bit his hand. He smiled slightly and turned on his heel and ran. I got high fives from my friends all day. "You bit him", "Lils, I can't believe you actaully bit him" , "How did you just bite him?", I loved the attention and the praise. And I was happy for the remainder of that day.

I had just come back to the present, 7th year, when Potter was waving his hand infront of my face and saying, "Evaaans...Earth to Evaaans...Come in please"

"H-h-h-huh?"

"Do you want to know why we're stuck in this damned dormitory?"

"What do you think, Potter?"

"Say it nicely"

"Tell me now or I will be forced to rip your face off, Potter", and I unexpectedly pointed my wand at him.

"Ok, ok. All of the professors are gone, except Professor McGonagall, and she just came by and locked all of the doors with a very powerful charm. I guess she doesn't trust us not to wreak havoc around the school with about a billion students to one teacher."

And we laughed together. We stopped laughing after we realized what we were doing. I looked away. I did not want Potter to know I ever blushed, expecially now.

"You know, Evans, I do have a hair drier, believe it or not."

"I know"

"Whatever, I thought you were one of those girls who cared more about what you look like than anything."

"You don't know me as well as you think you do, Potter"

"That is ture and you don't know me either, Lily."

He had called me by my first name for the first time in...well...forever. I haden't figured out why yet but I knew there was something going on behind his eyes that I couldn't see. He smiled and stood up infront of me. I put my face in my hands and again let out a frusterated sigh. He knelt down and moved my hands from my face and just looked at me. I guess I had a pretty confused look on my face, because he said;

"Sorry, I just wanted to see your face uncovered my your hands"

He was still holding my wrists and when I realized that I pulled my hands back and put them behind me and leaned backwards so that I was laying on Poter's bed. He got up and layed next to me. Oh Merlin, is he trying to court me? He better not be, I just might have to bite him again. I laughed to myself.

"Am I that amusing to you...Ev...Lily?"

He was still attempting to call me by my first name, maybe he wanted me to call him by his.

"James?"

"Yes?", he said with a shimmer in his eyes.

"Nothing", I loved doing that to him, because I knew he hated it.

"That's not fair, now you have to tell me"

"I don't play by the rules, I'm a pirate", I laughed, "And I don't have to tell you anything."

"Trying to annoy me, eh?"

I laughed and nodded. I wondered how long we were going to be stuck in here and what we would do the whole time. I shuddered thinking what he was probably thinking, that is if he was crushing on me again, it was kind of obvious, but in a way not.

"So...", I said.

"So...", James in return replied.

"Want to play chess?", I said, knowing he's a very good chess player.

"Sure, but I'm not going to go easy..."

"Neither am I !"

He laughed at me slightly, "You watch James Potter, I'm gonna kick you ass in this game."

"Riiiiight. Just like last time, Lily"

And as of that moment we started playing Wizard's Chess. At first he was letting me win. Then I started letting him win. Eventually we stopped playing all together and just talked. Before we knew it the grandfather clock in the dormitory chimed twelve times. We had staued up half the night laughing and talking.

"Let's call the game on a count of sleep, eh, Lily?", James smiled.

"Alright.", I half giggled. Why the hellam I giggling?, I thought to myself.

We both got up and waled to either side of the bed. Then we both realized that we, two new found friends, were about to spend the night in a one person bed. We both looked at each other awkwardly and laughed again. We took turns changing into our night wear in the bathroom. He went first, then I. When I got out James was already in the bed, reading a book titled, "Pranks for the Happy Prankster", I laughed to myself in spite of it.

I got into the bed and closed my eyes and I felt Jamed shift his weight and heard him turn out the lights. I fell asleep and had a dream about snogging...um...not James...but nevermind...I kissed him with passion, but I woke up when I felt a hand on the side of my head and my eyes shot open. I realized it was not a dream, that I was really kissing someone!

"JAMES!"

He jumped back, fell out of the bed, quickly stood up and blushed and went to the bathroom and locked himself in. He was in there for about half and hour, and suddenly I had to pee like a race horse. I definately didn't want Pott...James to think I was returning his feelings but I really had to go!

I knocked on the door and almost as soon as I had he quickly walked past me into the bed. I did my busness and walked out. James was sitting up pretending to read his book and I climbed into the bed. I sat up with him for a few minutes and just to assure him there were no hard feelings, I layed my head in the crook of his neck and I felt him smile against my head.

"Good night Lily", He said. I put my head up and allowed him to lay down on his back. He closed his eyes and smiled. I knew that I had made him happy. I layed down on my back too and turned out the lights.

"Good night James", I whispered.
