Dirty Little Secret

A/N: Hallo everyone! How's life treating you all?

Ok so another LJ here. I wasn't planning on doing this ever, but I was so happy for all the wonderful reviews I got from my last one-shot called "Just for your Smile" and its version in Spanish (yes, that was shameless self-promotion but I'm not ashamed. See? That's why the word shameless is for!) that I just though on writing another one of my oneshots. Apparently, it turned out to be too long for just one chappy so it'll be my first long LJ that I actually finish. Not much of marauders this time although we'll be seeing a bit of Siri (girls all over flash their eyelashes!) and Remi-boy. Ok, this is the longest A/N I've ever made so I'll just stop. Now.

Disclaimer: "FANfiction" people, FANFICTION. Just the mere thought of me owning any of this makes me laugh. Haha. See? Oh, and the last paragraph of every chapter belong to the "All American Rejects" and so does the title of this fic.

Chapter I: Not the Best of Weathers

They were finally together.

James Potter and Lily Evans were finally an item.

Needless to say, the marauder was beyond ecstatic. He had pursued the girl for over two years, deflating his self-seeking ways just for her, showing a bit more of his "sensible side" but still remaining as the charmer he'd always been.

He had started to win her trust though. Their conversations were amazingly not always ending in the "Burn in hell Potter!" catchy phrase. No, now they were in friendly terms and, from James' point of view, there was the occasional flirting which, astonishing, she seemed to enjoy.

But as much as he liked being "just friends" with her, he couldn't help those feelings that always harassed him when they were alone, whether they were merely patrolling or having a nice chat. He'd always known that he wanted to be something more than just friends but he also didn't want to ruined it, he didn't want to push things.

One night back from patrolling, they were just sitting in a sofa near the common room's fire having a cup of chocolate that he'd got from the kitchens. She was laughing about some anecdote he'd told her about Sirius wrestling with a couple of garden creatures. That laugh made him crack, he couldn't help it anymore. He had to tell her, now.

"Lily, I've got to tell you something…" And he told her everything. And I mean everything. From how he realized he fancied her, apologizing for being an arse all this years, telling her how much he'd change to expressing his real feelings, jokes aside.

He had been wandering around the room all this time. He finally got all his strength back in order to look up. She was speechless and for a moment he planned on yelling "April's Fool!" and run away. Then, a smile appeared in her face.

"Well, I guess I better tell the giant squid to cancel that fancy dinner, uh?"

He grinned broadly and took her into a soft kiss. Everything was perfect that day. Lily was his at last and nothing could ruin it until…

"Could you just…I mean…could we just keep it between us for now?" asked a shy-looking Lily.

A cloud set upon the sky. Perhaps the weather wasn't as clear as he'd thought.

Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

A/N: So I came here to annoy you with another note! I know this chapter was short but I wasn't planning of making more than one chapter. Besides, I'm working on the next chapter and I assure you, it'll be longer with some LJ action going on to. I'll put it up not later than this weekend. You can get some sneak pics in my livejournal, just go to my homepage. Out
