James, feeling thoroughly miserable with himself was sitting infront of the
fire in the head common room. Why had he gone and made such a fool of
himself? That was not the James Potter we all know back in the library.
That was a submissive, pathetic boy with a silly crush who wouldn't stand
up for himself. He let Lily walk all over him. He didn't even snap at her
when she had a go at him. And James Potter never came off second-best from
a fight.
A door slamming broke his train of thought.
He turned to see Lily walking over to him, book in hand. She sat down opposite him.
"We need to talk." She announced. James looked at her startled.
"Who's daring you to try to get me?" she asked heatedly. "Was it Sirius? You can't just come and mess with my head, James, I can't deal with people messing with my head."
James just stared back at her.
"Who was it? Remeus? Peter? One of your mates on your Quidditch team?"
"Look Lily, no-"
"Don't you Look Lily me, James Potter." Now she was really angry.
"Lily," James said, frantically, "No one has dared me to do anything! Why would I try to get someone for a dare?" he paused, "Okay, stupid question. But I wouldn't mess with you, Lils! You've gotta trust me on this one! I was just trying to be nice!"
"You aren't capable of being nice, James. You know that. I know that."
James was flabbergasted. Man, talk about PMS!
"Okay, Lily, just listen to me. I know you hate me. I know what you think of me. I've tried being nice to you. I've tried to be friendly, but you just throw it back in my face. I know you don't have much reason to trust me, but I'm telling the truth; there was no dare."
"Honestly?"
"Honestly."
"Oh my god. Now I feel like such an idiot." Lily turned red and abruptly sat down next to him . "Look, James, I'm rea-"
"Don't worry about it. It's alright."
"No, it's not alright." Corrected Lily. "All this time I thought you were the immature one, and look at how I just acted."
There was an awkward pause.
"What you said the other day made me think," James told her. "I realized that if I didn't grow up and act maturely, I wouldn't be a very good Head Boy." He straightened his robes in a business-like manner. "I mean to say, a head student needs to act in a dignified manner."
Lily looked at him, the corner of her mouth twitching. James bit his lower lip and looked straight back at her. Then they both burst out laughing.
They both laughed until their stomachs hurt, and even then it was a while before they calmed down properly.
"So, tell me, James Potter, exactly who are you?" asked Lily.
They stayed up for the rest of the night talking.

Now I feel complete: I have 10 followers.
Sory It's such a short chapter, but I didn't know where to go from here. Is it too early to get Lily and James together? There is a plot for after you get together, but that's all secret.
First 5 reviews in with an answer will be my voters on this issue. Majority rules. Vote Fluff or Wierdness. Your choice. I will update later today with a long chapter. Thanks!
