Summary: story of the Marauders during Hogwarts. LJ fanfic! Be warned: contains weird storylines such as tutu lap dancing etc (a creation of my warped mind). Rated M for a reason!

My first Harry Potter fanfic so please review, I need help with ideas! Excuse my crappy spelling and grammar as well.

Note: It's a 15 chapter fic. Upcoming chapter ' The Truth Hurts.' I try to update every day but I can't guarantee anything. More Sirius next chapter.

By the way this is kind of a mushy chapter.

OOOOOOOOO

Chapter Three: The Flight of Passion

As Lily led in her large empty bed that night, thoughts of James drifted unwillingly into her subconscious: How it would feel to run her hands through his ruffled hair, how it would feel to be pressed up against his warm body on this cold night.

Lily sighed. As hard as she tried she couldn't get the new fuzzy thoughts of James out of her confused mind. She didn't understand what was going on. Before, any thoughts she had of James was associated with anger and hatred and now, although she had only been around her for a day, she was growing fluffy (couldn't think of any way to describe it) feelings towards him.

If only she could go and clamber into his bed and feel his strong arms wrap around her. On this dark icy night, with the absence of her friends and family, Lily felt very much alone.

Thinking of this depressing fact caused her eyes to glaze over and began to prick with tears. Her friends were in a separate dormitory, somewhere else in the castle and therefore James was the only person she had. She wasn't sure whether to feel sad or happy about this.

Realising this was the perfect opportunity to see if he truly cared for her, she clambered out her bed, exposing her near naked body to the cold breeze. Her body instantly began to shiver as a wave of icy air hit her. Letting go of the tears she had been holding back they began to streak down her flawless face in hot trickles. Crying and shivering she made her way slowly across the deserted hall to James door. Giving it three soft taps she strained her ears, listening for activity inside.

Tapping lightly again she waited. This time she heard a groan of protest from inside. He obviously wasn't in the mood to chat. Reluctantly she made her way back towards her dormitory when his door opened behind her. Turning to face him she gasped in surprise. He looked sleepy and rumpled and was wearing a annoyed expression that instantly changed to worry as he looked at Lily.

His eyes were wide with shock. Lily Evans was standing in his door at 3 o'clock in the morning, crying, wearing no more than a tight vest and small hot pants in the same shade of deep purple.

'Uh-sorry to uh wake you but there was re-really nobody else to go to,' she choked, looking at James through her thick wet eyelashes.

'Don't worry 'bout it,' he said somatically, his face etched with concern. He stood facing her awkwardly, not knowing whether he should move to comfort her. 'Do you want to come in?' he asked.

She nodded, brushing past him into his dimly lit room. His bed was to the side of the room, covered with rumpled sheets and his school uniform which had obviously been taken off and chucked to the nearest piece of furniture. She glanced back at him expectantly. Her eyes skimmed over him in nothing but baggy pyjama bottoms, and despite her distress she noticed his slender but toned body. No wonder everyone says he's great in the sack, she thought. Suddenly an image of James with several different girls burst into her mind, causing her to sob harder. As much as she wanted to deny it, she wanted him all to herself.

'What? Lily are you ok?' he said coming towards her as her sobbing worsened. He encircled his arms around her small shivering body and rested his chin on the top of her head. Surprisingly to him, she leant into his bare chest, pressing her body against him, needing his warmth.

'James can I-uh- stay with you tonight?' she asked timidly tilting her head upwards. He looked at her in shock.

'If you want to,' he muttered, soothingly rubbing his hand up and down her back.

'I really do,' she stammered with so much conviction, she startled even herself. He kissed her on the forehead and moved them towards the bed. He once again encased his arms around her protectively as they snuggled under the covers. They both fell asleep instantly.

When Lily woke up next morning a faint light was streaming through the windows and the distant noises of the waking castle could be heard. Shifting her weight slightly she noticed a strong arm snaked around her slender waist. She glanced up to find James Potter sleeping soundlessly next to her, his body pressed against hers. Remembering last night she smiled.

He did truly seem concerned for her and he had obviously cared enough to help her in the dead of the night. Because of this, her feelings for him had continued to grow, and she was no longer ashamed to of it.

Looking at him this close she could see every line of his face clearly, the smoothness of his cheeks and the softness of his lips. Wanting to feel this for herself, she ran her finger along his bottom lip tenderly. Suddenly he moaned and began to stir. She took her hand quickly away just as his eyes flickered open, twinkling when they saw her.

'Hey,' she muttered weakly, hoping that he was unaware of what she had been doing moments before.

'Hey,' he replied 'you don't regret last night, do you?'

She was taken back by the abruptness of his question but was able to shake her head vigorously.

'You really helped me last night when you didn't have to,' she said, smiling 'especially as we weren't even friends until last night.'

'Do friends kiss each other?' he questioned, moving so their faces were inches apart. Despite the small voice in her head that was telling her that it was going to fast, she leaned forward.

'Well I do have to find one way to repay you for last night,' she whispered, blushing. But a second later James had closed the remaining distance that separated them and pressed his lips against hers.

As she had thought his lips were soft and supple as they moved against hers, his hand clutching her even more tightly to him. Their lips still connected, she gasped as she felt his tongue run lightly across her bottom lip, begging for permission to enter. He was not denied. His tongue slid quickly into her mouth causing both of them to moan in pleasure. His tongue massaged hers and instantly hers began to do the same. It was obvious he was very experienced.

Her mind suddenly processed this information properly, bringing her back to reality. James had been with loads of girls and dumped them all. She didn't want herself to be the same. She would have to play this differently. She couldn't just throw herself at his feet like any other girl, she had to keep him waiting, keep him interested. She had to make him want her more than any other girl.

Pulling away from their month lock, feeling his warm tongue exit her mouth her thoughts came back into focus. He looked at her, confused. She smiled.

'Come on. We'll be late for class,' she muttered, turning away from him and dangling her leg over the edge of the bed. She conjured up new robes and underwear and began to remove her pyjama top to the complete amazement of James. Pulling it up over her head, she exposed her bare back to him as he led behind her.

Lily Evans, once known as the ice queen, was sitting on the edge of his bed, after kissing, removing her clothing, completely oblivious to the fact that James was even there. Unfortunately for him, however, he could not see her naked chest from his position behind her.

Having put a new bra on, Lily turned back.

'Do you mind doing this up?' she asked innocently, holding her two bra straps behind her back. Moving towards her he did it up, brushing his hands over her delicate skin. He wished he could run his hands all over her.

He only had 6 days left to complete the task and with her playing hard to get, it was going to be difficult. However he had made a lot of progress in one night. Yesterday she hated him. Not only was the deadline of the task approaching but he was genuinely attracted to her and it was driving him crazy.

Lily sensed his lust towards her and realised her plan was worked. But she had to make him want her more than any other girl before she gave into her own desires and slept with him. She didn't want to be hurt. She needed to know he would stay loyal if he wasn't getting what he wanted.

She stood up, fully clothed and kissed him briefly before exiting the room. She needed time to clear her head and as wasn't the only one.

For the first time James was beginning to worry about the consequences of the dare. He truly cared for her and didn't want to hurt her. She was teasing him and if he was going to complete his task he would have to play the same game as her…

He went in search of Sirius to see how his dare was going. It turns out, not much better…

To be continued……..

Sorry this was a really mushy chapter but I had to get it out of the way. Sirius and co will feature heavily in the next chapter but I had to get LJ together.
