The Second Game

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Dedication: Jinny Weasly for her wonderful idea. I would have bee lost without it.

Lily's POV

The next couple weeks went by in a blur. Mrs. Potter went to Diagon Alley to exchange my money for me. After I got the proper money I went out with James and his friends every day. We went to the movies, mini-golfing, the pool, and some other places. It was a blast. I love James's friends.

After hanging around with them so often I discovered some things. Sam and John seemed to be players. Every week they would have someone new. When they did you couldn't get anything out of them. Kristen and Brandon didn't seem to care about the whole dating thing too much. In fact, Kristen didn't seem to care about anything most teenage girls worry about especially other people's opinions of her. I admired that.

There was one other thing I noticed. When we actually tried, James and I got along well. We had formed a kind of twisted friendship. He taught me how to golf properly, since I've never really been athletic. He didn't taunt me, either. He seemed to have actually matured, but I can't help thinking nothing has changed.

It was yet another Saturday night, but none of us could think of anything to do. We were just sitting around at Kristen's house because her parents were out and we were glad to have the house to ourselves. Sirius was over, too.

"I'm bored," Sirius said.

"I have an idea for something we could do," Sam said finishing her drink. "Spin the bottle. Whose in?" We all were. She capped her bottle and put it on the floor. We decided Sam would go first since she thought of it. The girl spun and it landed on Brandon. They shared a very quick kiss and like that it was over. It wasn't a big deal. Kristen was next. She spun and it landed on Sirius.

"Oh no. No, no, no. I am not going to kiss him."

"You have to. It's the rules," Sam said.

"Come on. Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him," John started to chant. Soon, we all joined in. Kristen and Sirius kissed, but this wasn't at all like Sam and Brandon's. It was more like a hot and heavy make out session. It didn't help that neither one has many inhibitions. Finally their kiss ended which we were all happy about. It was grossing us out. It was now my turn. I spun and it landed on Brandon… (A/N: Ha ha just kidding. I wouldn't do that to you guys. You've waited long enough.) It landed no James. I was definitely not going to kiss him! Ewww! Just the thought of it was disgusting.

"Come on, Lils. You have to do it," said Sam.

"Yeah, Lily. Kristen and Sirius kissed. You and James have to kiss, now," from John.

"Pass," I said.

"You can't pass. The rules are you have to kiss no matter who it lands on," said Brandon.

"Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him," John started that stupid chant again. I had to kiss him. There was no way out of it. I had to kiss James Potter!

I started to lean in. He did, too. Our faces got closer and closer. He closed his eyes. I did, too. Our lips touched and I felt he most amazing sensation I had ever felt. The kiss lasted longer than I would have let it had I been thinking at the moment. For some reason kissing James made me forget everything. James actually was the one who broke off the kiss. Now that I was in charge of all my faculties again I could realize I just had the best kiss of my life and it was with the person I hated most in the world. It made no sense.

We continued to play, but Sam and John were the only ones that really wanted to play anymore. Eventually we just quit all together and watched T.V.

James and I left at about 11 o'clock. The whole walk back to his house we didn't say a word. I believe we muttered some good nights to each other and went to our rooms. That's where I am now, in my room trying to figure out what all this means.
