AN: I went to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban on IMAX last night it was awesome and it also sparked inspiration for this story again plus I really should be working on a Chemistry Lab and that always seems to make me want to write. Anyways here is the next update enjoy. Just a reminder this doesn't follow the cannon presented in Order of the Phoenix.
Disclaimer: None of this is mine.
After breakfast the first thing Lily wanted to do was run up stairs change and run out to go flying on her broom but one look at the ceiling of the great hall told her it wouldn't be a pleasant first ride. The sky was black with clouds and the wind swept heavy down fall of snow across the sky. Lily was a little disappointed that she wouldn't get to go flying but she decided she was going to do her best to have a good cheerful day. "So James, " Lily said breaking the long comfortable silence that had rested over the two teens. "What do you want to do today?"
"I was going to suggest we go flying but when I saw the ceiling I decided today was probably not the best day to go flying." James said nonchalantly he was still feeling very depressed.
"I couldn't agree more," said Lily. Lily got up from the table and smiled mischievously down on James. "Race you to the tower," she said right before taking off out of the great hall. It took James a couple minutes to realize what had happened. But before long he was up out of his seat and racing off after the fiery little red head. Shit, she runs fast thought James.
Lily's P.O.V------------
Lily reached the tower gasping for air and turned to see James rush up behind her only seconds behind her. "Beat ya, " Lily said with a goofy smile looking at the look of disbelief on James' face. " I took a short cut that it seems even the all knowing James Potter doesn't know about." Smiling one last time at James, Lily turned to the Fat Lady "Jingly Bells."
"Merry Christmas to you too, dear." She replied letting them into the common room.
"So, Lily you beet me in the run but can you beat me in a chess game, best two out of three."
Oh, James you are so going down though Lily. "Bring it on."
When Lily won the first and third game the "best two out of three became the best three out of five and then the best four out of seven and so on until James looked at his watch and realised that they only had an hour before they had to be at Dumbledore's house. "Lily we need to go get ready to go meet you here in a half hour." said James getting up of the flour where they had been playing and giving Lily a hand up. Once Lily was on her feet James didn't release her hand immediately. Lily's eyes met his and they just stared into each other's eyes for a few seconds.
James' P.O.V-------
James looked down at Lily and tried to quell to building urge to kiss her. Her eyes were like perfect twin emeralds shone with the soft smile that appeared on her face as she looked up at him. She just wants you as a friend you idiot stop acting like a love sick puppy. Finally Lily dropped his hand and quickly turned away but not before James saw the blush that was creeping into her cheeks. Good work, idiot know you've emberaced her.
"See you in a bit James", Lily said as she climbed the stairs to the girl's dorm. James turned and headed up to his own dorm trying to sort out the mixed feelings that filled his head.
Lily's P.O.V-----
Once Lily was out of view of the common room she stopped and sat down on the stairs. She reflected on the fleeting moment for that was all it was. She had looked up into James' intense blue eyes and for a moment she thought he was going to kiss her. Then she realised that it was all in her head. She was ashamed that she had almost let her little crush interfere with their friendship. I will not let that happen thought Lily. She turned back and went the rest of the way upstairs. Once she got into her dorm she flopped down on her bed. Why did I have to fall for the only best friend I have ever had.
A half hour later-----
Lily's P.O.V.-------
Lily came down the stairs to see James in sky blue dress robes that matched his beautiful eyes passing in the common room muttering to himself. She couldn't make out a word he was saying but it sounded like he was arguing about something. "Hey, Jamey, time to go." James turned and saw her standing at the bottom of the stairs and his mouth dropped.
"Is it really that bad?" asked Lily looking up at James nervously. I really have fallen for him she thought to herself. Normally she didn't care one way or the other what someone thought of her but with James, well let's say if James had any clue how much power he could yield over Lily he would be really scared.
James' P.O.V------
James' had showered and changed into his dress robes in about 20 minutes then he had made his way to the common room to wait for Lily. He tried sitting buts his mind was still trying to work around his jumbled feelings for a certain red headed woman. After ten minutes of passing back and forth around the common room trying to decide whether to tell Lily what he was feeling. He heard a soft voice say, "Hey Jamie, time to go." James turned and so Lily standing at the bottom of the stairs. James chin hit his chest.
Wow... he thought taking her in. Lily's hair was kept out of her face by two tiny braids that were fastened behind her head and the rest of her long red hair fell over shoulders and back in piles of ringlets. She wore a set of dark green dress robes that were more like a muggle dress. The colour set of her eyes and her hair. "Is it really that bad?" she asked. James didn't now how to replie. He went over to Lily took her hand it his and raised it to his lips. He softly kissed the back of it never taking his eyes from her's. "Lily, you look like an angel."
"May I have the honour my lady of escorting you to the Professor's dinner this even, Me Lady."
"You may, however the honour is all mine, my Lord," said Lily smiling at him.
AN: You'll have to wait to find out what happens at Dumbledor's because I'm out of time and have to go to class now. But I will try to write it soon.
