"You're kidding," Bex, Lily's friend screeched.

"I almost wish I was Bex," Lily sighed in return

"But, why wouldn't he?" Bex stuttered puzzled, "James isn't a shy boy"

"I can't believe it, he refused me…" Lily shook her head in utter disbelief, this had never happened before, nobody had ever refused Lily, that was her job.

"Ah well, win some you lose some," Bex shrugged her shoulders,

"Oh no," Lily smiled, "This isn't the end, this is just the beginning,"

A week had passed since Lily and James' encounter on the quidditch pitch, they'd been civil, which was actually a vast improvement on the constant bickering they were both used to. James thought the event last week was actually a funny development in their relationship. He'd always fancied fucking Lily, but he knew it drove her mad to not be wanted by someone blatantly, which is why he had always kept it quiet. He thought It was best of having her think he hated her, but he didn't think it would drive her to such a climax of actually unzipping his pants and offering herself to him. He'd decided he fancied seeing how this one played out, letting her do the chasing of course, he didn't want her to get the wrong idea, this wouldn't be a truce to their disputes, this wouldn't be permanent either, this would be a fuck, although a good one at that.

So, to play it cool was his plan, a one that had not failed him so far, but it was so early in their head boy and girl duties it was clear this could not stay like this indefinitely. James realised this only too soon, on a cold frosty Monday morning.

It was early, around six thirty and James was first up in the common room, he couldn't sleep, which was unusual for him considering him and the rest of his friends hardly ever made it to breakfast, he had energy to burn, Griffindor tower was asleep, so decided to take his top off and do some sit-ups, he'd only got to twenty when he heard a door open and someone enter the room. He had a fifty-fifty chance of looking a complete moron in front of someone, he sat up immediately, and looked upon the intruder, It was Lily Evans, the one and only. He remembered his present half undressed state, and felt a complete moron, his face turning a pale shade of red.

Lily set eyes upon James, and all of a sudden felt a tingling attracted feeling overcome her. James Potter had a pretty toned body, must be all that training for quidditch she thought.

James was the first to break the silence "Lily,"

"James," Lily replied with a surprised look on her face "Working out are we?"

"Yeah, you could say that" he answered. He looked her up and down, Lily wasn't wearing normal clothes, granted she had picked the trendiest clothes she could use for the purpose, but these clothes were unmistakably gym clothes.

She seemed to read his mind, "I'm going for a run," She explained, then as an afterthought added, "Want to come?" Figuring this could be her second attempt of getting James Potter under her spell, anything was worth trying, even if it meant spoiling her run for it.

He looked unsure but said "Sure, why not?" The two embarked from Griffindor tower and left the main hogwarts building, and began a slow jog towards the direction of the whomping willow, After about 10minutes of jogging, Lily broke the silence,

"Why do you hate me James?" she panted. Looking across at him next to her on the path.

James smiled; it had only been a matter of time until she brought that up. "Why do you fancy me Lily?"

"Why don't you fancy me James?" She countered aggressively.

"You want me to?" He asked,

"Yes," Lily panted, slowing down to catch her breath,

James looked surprised, "And why on earth would that be?"

"Oh, only to live out my darkest fantasies with you James," Lily mocked, and then quietly added "Plus, I haven't heard bad things,"

James laughed out loud, "What on earth have you supposedly heard?" Lily looked surprisingly gorgeous when she was out of breath and hot, his eyes lingered on her neck and lips as she spoke, there was no denying it, she was definitely his kind of thing.

"Just things, for me to know and you to find out," She teased, Lily finally felt like she was getting somewhere.

"And you want to find these things out?" James sighed,

"If you'll let me," Lily replied. She didn't wait for an answer.

She led him along the path to the nearest bench and pulled him down to sit next to her, "I just think we'd make a good team," she whispered into his ear softly, Her warm breath on his cold neck felt good, better than he wanted to admit, but he wasn't going to tell her that, or even react, He was just going to sit back and let it happen.

Lily pulled away from his ear, and looked him square on, she held his face with her right hand and pulled it towards hers slowly, as if giving him time to pull away, but he didn't make a move, he didn't make a sound, he hardly even breathed. Their lips met, the feeling was electrifying, even Lily had to admit that, it was confusing but she didn't stop. She slowly kissed James, half expecting him to join in, but he didn't he just let her continue, and then just as she was about to give up he kissed back. It even shocked him, he was so primal, so urgent he kissed her hard, as if he couldn't get her close enough to him, she pressed up against him, and he pulled her closer. Lily then slowly reached down towards his crotch, which was when he pulled away,

"What's so urgent?"

"I want you," Lily stated matter of fact, "Now"

"But what if I don't want you?" He joked,

"You do, you want me as much as I want you, just not in the cold, it doesn't do you justice James,"

She took her hand away from his crotch area, pulling him up and leading him to the castle, hand in hand.
