CHAPTER 2: OMG, I Like James Potter!
(A/N: 16 reviews! 16! Thank you guys soooo much! It's so nice of you to be so, well, nice! This is my first fan fic, and having support like this/that is just so great, it really makes you feel warm and fuzzy. So it is with great pleasure that I dedicate this chapter to you, my lovely reviewers! Chapter 1 was in 3rd person POV, this chappie is going to swap the POV around. Oh, thoughts are in Italics and Bold-&-Italic means another voice. Kinda like angel on one side and devil on the other.)
Lily's P.O.V
OMG! I'm snogging James Potter! JAMES POTTER! If I could die now I'd die happy!
You do know that he's going to be snogging some other girl by next week, don't you? Just don't come crying to me when he does.
SHUT UP! Oh sh-
I quickly pulled away from James and turned around to face a smirking Sirius Black.
Oh shit.
Ha ha.
"Black you fucking asshole, what the name of all things magical did you think you were doing when you cast that stupid spell? Did you seriously want to scar some of the girls for life! Or were you only thinking of how many girls had a crush on you? Take the frigging spell off now or I swear I'll make you." I shouted/hissed, whipping out my wand. Black looked disappointed.
"Why? It's not like it worked anyway… unless…" He trailed off, and I could basically see the clogs turning in his head.
"Can you smell burning?" I asked sarcastically. Suddenly, James spoke from behind me.
"It worked Padfoot." He said quietly.
THE FUCKING SPELL!
Take it off you idiot.
I quickly turned around and muttered the counter-hex.
Well, at least he won't remember any of this.
I have two words for you. Fine. Print.
James looked at the ground and blushed. Yup, he remembered what happened.
Damn fine print.
Like you really wanted him to forget the kiss anyway. Face it. WE'RE IN LOVE WITH JAMES POTTER!
I blushed, and glanced at the ground.
"If it worked then…" Black muttered, "then that means…" I turned around. Black was grinning like the cat off Alice in Wonderland. He whooped and punched the air. "I knew it. I knew it! Lily likes James. Lily likes James. Lily likes James. Lily and James sitting in a tree-"
"One more word Black," I growled, interrupting his self-celebration, "and you'll be singing soprano for the rest of your life." That shut him up. James was being surprisingly mature about this.
You can bow down now.
Oh shut up O Queen of All.
Queen of All, I like it.
"Besides," I continued, "it's none of your business who I snog and who I don't." James and Black looked at me as though I'd grown two heads, "well, it isn't, is it?"
"Er, no."
"Defiantly not," Black looked awkward, "I'll just be going now."
"Oh Black," I called after him as sweetly as I could, "Milly's coming." He stopped, and turned around with a look of pure terror on his face.
"D-didn't she go h-h-home?" He stuttered.
"Oh no." I replied, using all my self-control not to burst out laughing at the expression on his face. He cursed under his breath, and took off up the stairs. As soon as I heard the door to his dorm slam I cracked up, laughing so hard I collapsed onto one of the couches. I heard James start chuckling, and then it turned into full blown laughter.
"His face," he managed to choke out when we had calmed down a little, "did you see his face? He was terrified!"
"It must be love." I said, giggling again. James laughed, and ran a hand through his hair.
"Look, Lily, about before…" He trailed off, and I knew what he was trying to say.
"Listen, James, if you wanted I could… um well… remove the memory… if you wanted to that is."
"Do you want to forget it?" He asked quietly.
Yes, yes you do!
No way, look at him. He looks so crushed… and cute for that matter. Just tell him how you feel Lily.
Look inside and tell him what you find. Answer truthfully.
I knew you'd see it my way.
Actually, I think she'll find that even though he looks good at the moment, he's not worth it.
"Well, no, I'd rather not."
Ha ha! Take that! She told him, she told him, she told him, she told him.
I gave him a small, nervous smile. "But it might make things a little uncomfortable, as technically we are supposed to be sleeping in the Head's dorm." I blushed again, and glanced up. James looked like Christmas had come early and had brought Easter and the summer holidays along for the ride. (A/N: I got that from one of my friends, so please don't sue me. I'm innocent!)
"So, you do actually like me?" He whispered in a strangled voice. I rolled my eyes.
Merlin he's dense.
"Why, I think I'm inclined to agree with you on that one Mr. Potter."I said with a giggle. I burst out laughing at the expression on his face, "means yes James." He punched the air.
"Yes!" He shouted.
"You know Potter, it's not too late to go back on my decision." I said, in tones of mock anger. He shut up, and looked at me.
Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me kiss me kiss me kiss me kiss me kiss me kiss me.
For Merlin's sake.
"What in Merlin's name is going on?" Came a sleepy voice from behind me. James quickly removed his hands from my waist and I quickly untangled my fingers from his hair.
"Nothing," we both said at the same time.
"Piper Skeggs, I'm impressed. I didn't know you knew that there was a 7:30." I said, grinning at one of my best friends. Piper had long, black, wavy hair that reached halfway down her back, and was extremely pretty. She had a rather strange fashion sense, but she always looked great. I guess you could call her the female version of Sirius Black, she had a different boy-friend every week and was yet to be the 'dumpiee' as we call them.
"Well it's kinda hard not to wake up with you shouting at Sir-Black like that." She replied, blushing redder then my hair. Piper had a serious crush on Black, why I didn't know.
"Noticed your head?" I asked, pointing.
"Yeah, that's why I'm down here," she grinned at me, "You two might want to block your ears." I quickly muttered a spell around our (James and mine) ears, as Piper began to take deep breaths.
"Why are we doing this?" James asked, confused.
"She can't hold a note in Chanting the longest for nothing." I whispered back.
"SIRIUS BLACK! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MERLIN DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING WHEN YOU CAST THE FRIGGING SPELL? I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF ALL YOU WERE THINKING OF WAS YOUR ALL READY OVER INFLATED EGO! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW BEFORE I GO UP THERE AND DRAG YOU DOWN!" Piper roared. A few seconds later Black came skidding down.
"What was…" he began, and trailed off when he saw Piper.
Wait, is he… OMG! He's blushing!
Why though?
I think I know.
"Umm, yeah. What did you want?" Black asked Piper, recovering his 'cool'. I glanced at James, he grinned at me.
"He's had a crush on her for years." He murmured in my ear. I giggled, and looked up as both Piper and Black made gagging noises.
"So she's finally told him then?" She asked Black innocently. He grinned, and I could see the effort it took her not to melt.
"Yeah. Now, what did you want?"
"Tell me how I get rid of this frigging mistletoe."
"Oh that easy," Sirius grinned, "you get a guy you like to kiss you. And it's gotta be a proper kiss. Not on the cheek or anything. Right on the lips." He tapped his own and gave the bad-boy grin that sent most of the girls in Hogwarts swooning, with the exception of us Charmed.
"That's easy then." Piper grinned and pulled Sirius towards her. I covered James' eyes and shut my own.
"Is it safe?" I asked softly.
"I've seen Padfoot snogging lots of girls." James replied in an annoyed tone.
"You actually wanna watch?" I asked, "just how close are you and Piper?"
"Of course I don't want to watch, I just don't see why you have to cover my eyes. I'm 17 for Merlin's sake."
"It's safe Lily." Piper piped (A/N: No pun intended) up.
"You two fight like an old married couple." Sirius muttered just loud enough for us to hear. I giggled, and James slid an arm around my waist.
"If I have my way we just might be." James murmured in my ear, making me giggle. (A/N: It's so sad. They'll never get old.) I looked up, And realized that Sirius was doing exactly the same thing to Piper.
"Hey Pip! Your mistletoe is gone." I said, drawing attention to it. Piper flashed me a look that said, continue and die.
I'll take that chance.
"Could it be," I said slowly as though the idea was just occurring to me, "that you actually like Mr. Black?"
Piper pulled out her wand and muttered a spell.
(A/N: There, how do ya like it? I wrote this all in one day, I'm so proud. Now, yet again, if you want me to continue this please tell me in the reviews/send me an email.
