Chapter Thirteen

A/N: Lily's point of view/thoughts

Lily paced the dorm room until one of the girls told her to stop that racket and go to bed. So she plopped herself down and stared at the canopy of her four-poster-bed.

'This is so unlike me. I don't kiss guys I just started dating. And when I do kiss the boyfriend of the moment it has never been like that. I've never even thought of James as anything but an annoying trouble maker. But that all changed with a kiss…

One kiss, so tender, so gentle…so passionate. I never knew kissing could be so wonderful! Is this for real? Have I really fallen for James? James Potter,' she shook her head to clear her mind, but it didn't work. James still plagued her thoughts.

The way he looked at her, like she was the only girl in the world. He spoke gently to her, harsh words said in the past were long forgotten. She couldn't stop thinking about him.

'And his kiss…' her nerves were shot. She relived the afternoon in her mind; taking a step back to analyze every action.

It had all happened so fast. An awkward silence broken by a pillow to the head followed by a pillow fight. Feathers flying freely, awkward nervousness forgotten they had had fun. Then he pinned her to the couch.

She was a little embarrassed with herself that she had kissed him. It wasn't even a real date and they weren't really a couple at the time so why had she done it?

"Argh I don't know!" she said aloud before rolling onto her stomach and placing her pillow over her head.

"Why am I so suddenly attracted to someone I've always hated?"

A/N: James point of view/thoughts

James watched Lily climb the stairs to the girls' dormitory with a puzzled expression. Lily Evans, the girl that always turned him down, had kissed him. More than once. Several times. He couldn't believe it.

Nor could he go upstairs. He knew that the instant he stepped foot into the room he'd be bombarded with an onslaught of questions. Remus might ask a few but would otherwise respect his space. Sirius on the other hand…

He moved to sit on the couch where hours before a dream had come true. He kissed her. He had actually kissed her! And she had kissed him back!

'When? How…? No, wait I don't care! She bloody kissed me!' James thought as he stared into the flames. Never in his life did he think she'd say 'yes' let alone kiss him.

Maybe she had lost her mind…

He sat back and committed the day's events to memory; down to the very last detail. The sound of her laugh, the sparkle of her eyes, the way her fiery red hair framed her face; every last detail… There was no way he would ever forget this day. He didn't know if he'd have another like it…

"I don't hear anything, let's move closer," a voice drifted down the stairs.

"Shut up Padfoot. Do you want to get caught?"

"But I can't hear any—"

"This was your idea, Smart One," came the sarcastic response.

"I can hear you," said James. He looked up at the stairs. "I can see you!"

"Moony made me do it, I swear!" said Sirius immediately.

"Right, and I'm a vampire," said Remus, rolling his eyes.

"Aren't you?" asked Sirius. Remus just looked at him.

"What, you suddenly found it so important to spy on me?" James asked as he stood.

"Just making sure you don't—"

"—Screw things up," finished Sirius.

"I would have said something different," said Remus.

"I know you would," smirked Sirius. "That's why I interrupted."

"I figured as much…" shrugged Remus.

"Would you two knock it off?" said James as he glared at his friends.

Remus looked down at his hands and Sirius smirked. They were just trying to get a reaction out of him.

"So you gonna tell us anything?" Sirius asked.

"Nope."

"Nothing?"

"Not one word," James said firmly. "Now if you two don't mind I'm tired and going to bed."

And as he lay awake in bed that night thinking about Lily he knew things would never be the same.
