A/N: First of all I want to say a HUGE thankyou to LilJester, Queen of tears and phoenixtear19. You guys are so cool, thanks for reviewing and inspiring me to write more! I'm flattered, I really am. You don't know how nice it is to get reviews from strangers until it actually happens to you.
Disclaimer: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I did not write the Harry Potter books, nor am I J.K.Rowling. Don't sue me!
James watched Lily climb the stairs. He waited until he saw her reach the top and heard her close the door and then…
"SCORE!" James punched his fist in the air and did a little victory dance. He'd never been so happy. He had just kissed Lily Evans. He had just kissed LILY EVANS. He had just KISSED Lily Evans. HE had just kissed Lily Evans. HE HAD JUST KISSED LILY EVANS!
And what was more; Lily had just called him James! Not Potter, not Pothead, JAMES! That was a sign she ENJOYED it! Oh man, this was definitely the best night of his entire life.
"Me and Lily sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." he recited to himself. "First comes our love, then comes our marriage, then comes our baby boy sitting in a carriage!"
With a silly smile on his face after narrating a rhyme he hadn't used since the age of seven, he ascended the staircase into his own dormitory.
"What's got you so happy, then?" asked Remus slyly, narrowing his eyes as James walked into the room.
"Yeah, you were only helping Lily put away her books!" Said Peter.
"Or were you?" said Sirius, grinning mischievously.
James hesitated. Lily might want their kiss to be kept private. But he stomped on his own fear. Even if Lily didn't want everyone in the school to know, he could still tell his three best mates! They wouldn't tell anyone if he asked them not to, It was just like the time Sirius told them that he told a girl that his... well, it was best not to think about that right now.
"Well, what do you think, then, Oh Padfoot, expert on all that is girls?" said James sarcastically.
"I think you need to thank me for thinking of the excuse to get you alone with her and giving you the best night of your life." Wow. He was good.
"Were you spying on me and Lily, guys?" he asked them all suspiciously.
"No." they said in unison.
"Are you a Leligimens, Padfoot?" he asked Sirius, even more suspicious now.
"Nup."
"THEN HOW THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU KNOW I HAD THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE JUST NOW?" James half yelled.
"As you say, I'm an expert on all that is girls." Sirius smirked.
"Oh, shut up."
"Did you kiss her?" asked Peter eagerly.
"No duh." Said Sirius before James could respond
"And what did Lily do?" asked Remus curiously.
"At first, nothing. She sort of stood there in shock. And then, after a while she wrapped her arms around me. And then, after we broke apart, she said 'Goodnight JAMES.'!"
Sirius wolf whistled, Peter looked up at him admiringly and Remus stared.
"Wow. That's not like Lily at all. She must really like you, James."
"Er… thanks, Moony." Nothing could stop James from smiling.
"So that's it? You just kissed her?" enquired Peter frantically.
"Well, not really." James reminisced. "We'd finished packing up her stuff, and we both stood up and she said thanks for helping her. We were about to go up to bed when I pointed up to the roof and said 'Mistletoe'. And she said 'Where?'(because there isn't any mistletoe in the whole common room, let alone above where we were standing). So I'm like, 'Here', and I took that mistletoe from the Christmas crackers out of my pocket and put it above our heads and… well, you guys know the rest." Said James very quickly, and in one breath.
"I have to admit, that whole mistletoe thing was a good idea." Said Sirius. "But now I can't try it out till next Christmas, when we won't even BE at Hogwarts anymore! Oh, this sucks."
James laughed loudly with Peter and Remus. He was in a very good mood. "Thanks, Sirius, I'll take that as a compliment."
"How do you recon Lily will act tomorrow?" said Remus thoughtfully. James froze. He hadn't thought about that.
Sirius seemed to notice his apprehensive expression. "Don't worry, Prongs, mate. She'll be cool. If you ask her to go out with you in a day or two, you'll be acting like a couple within the week."
James merely blinked, amazed at the knowledge Sirius possessed on the topic.
"Congratulations, James!" squeaked Peter, who had become extremely exited.
"Yeah, it's your dream come true, you finally kissed Evans!" said Sirius. "Took you long enough!"
"Good on you." Remus smiled in an amused sort of way.
"What are you smiling at?" Asked Sirius.
"It's just… hard to explain. You know the expression 'Opposites Attract'?"
"Er… no." said James
"Nup." Replied Peter.
"Never heard of it." Sirius told him.
Remus sighed, still smiling. "Never mind, then." The four boys climbed into their beds and bade each other goodnight.
James lay awake for some hours after he collapsed into bed. He kept reliving the kiss in his mind and couldn't wait to see Lily again tomorrow.
Soon James began to wonder why he was so happy. It was only one kiss under the mistletoe. But, then again, that one kiss was enough to make it the best night of his entire life.
A/N: You know, this story is really starting to grow on me. It started off as a oneshot; let me tell you, it sure ain't a oneshot anymore! Thanks again to the reviewers I mentioned above, you gave me assurance that people were enjoying my story!
