There was only a slight gap between them now, and Lily reached up, brushing her fingers across his lips. James smiled down at her. "You had chocolate on your mouth." she remarked grinning up at him.

"You have chocolate on your lips," he said, swooping down to kiss her. "Let me help you with that." he muttered against her mouth. They spent the next few minutes spotting chocolate and other such sticky substances on one another, and being the thoughtful people they were, erased it all from the other.

Pulling his Polaroid camera out of a draw next to the couch James moved closer to Lily for the photo.

As the flash was about to go off she lent over to kiss him on the cheek, winking at the camera.

James laughed and made a copy of the image, passing her a texta.

'Sugar Kisses.' she wrote, passing him her two words.

Looking out the window, James noticed that it was late, and therefore time to head back to the castle.

"That was amazing, thankyou so much James," Lily turned to him at the portrait hole, reaching up to give him a quick kiss on the cheek. She turned to mutter the password to the Fat Lady, but James spun her around and claimed her lips gently. "What kind of a goodbye was that?" he joked. She grinned up at him, tugging him through the portrait and into the Gryffindor common room.

"Meet me tomorrow, outside the Gryffindor Change rooms before my match?" he questioned hopefully.

Her response was a drawn out hug and a peck on the cheek before whispering "I'll be there." her hot breath giving him Goosebumps. Before she turned though, James slipped his two words into her hand.

'Simply Intoxicating.'

She was the first of the three girls back, so Lily decided to clean up the mess they had made in the bathroom. Once that was done she checked the time. It was only two. Everyone had to be back by three, so Lily decided to finish her potions essay that was due in two days. Engrossed in her work she didn't notice the other two slip in the room an hour and a quarter later. "BOO!" they had both come up behind her, scaring the living daylights out of the redhead. "Oh you guys, you gave me a fright!" she laughed, chucking a pillow at Bella. And so ensued a massive pillow fight, an all out brawl.

Five minutes later they stopped, exhausted and flopped on Alices bed.

"So, tell us all the goss," Lily winked at Bella. The other girl smiled at the ceiling, recounting her date.

"Well me and Amos," Alice coughed, "Sorry, Amos and I decided to go to this little tea shop, Madame Pudifoot's I think, yeah well we went there and spent about two hours just talking about anything and everything, whatever came to mind. Then we went to Honeydukes and bought some chocolate and lay in one of the orchards and looked at the clouds passing us by. Oh and I picked up that thing you asked for too Lily," she said, grabbing a wrapped package from her bedside table. Inside was a perfectly wrapped sugar quill. Lily hugged Bella, while urging her to continue. "Well then we uh, we made out for a while," a blush crept onto her cheeks, the other girls laughing.

"How about you Alice?" asked Bella, her and Lily turning their attention to the raven headed girl.

"Frank and I didn't do that much I guess, we went to Madame Rosmerta's for a butterbeer then just wandered around for a while talking." she finished glancing over at Lily with a half smile inviting her to share her memories from the 'James Potter Date' they had decided to label Lily's outing.

"He had a surprise for me in the shrieking shack," here the other two gasped "But isn't that haunted?" asked Bella in awe. "Nah, well at least James said it wasn't." she replied, going into detail about the mini theatre James had set up and how she felt about him. "We made out a couple of times," she said nonchalantly, passing the girls his Two Words. "What did you write?" they said in unison.

'Sugar Kisses.' in a prelude to this," said Lily picking up the package Bella got for her. Alice looked on questioningly until Lily explained what it was. "That's romantic." came Alices response.

"Why cant frank be romantic like that?" all the girls laughed.

"How was it mate?" questioned Sirius from his place on James' bed, sipping butterbeer, which was most likely spiked with fire whiskey knowing Sirius. James gulped down a mouthful of his own drink and grinned across at him. "We made out." he replied.

"How was it?" asked Peter eagerly. James looked over to him incredulously.

"Pete mate, you need to learn that gentlemen never kiss and tell."

"What were her two words?" asked Remus 'Moony' Lupin from his bed.

"Sugar Kisses" James mumbled. All the boys laughed at this, Peter passing more drinks around.

"Put it on his desk," mumbled Alice, giving Lily a little push.

"But what if he doesn't sit there?" she asked worriedly. Bella sighed directing her to the back row, most usually occupied by the marauders.

"Quick Lily." groaned Alice, looking out the door. They had been the first to class today so that Lily could leave the sugar quill she had picked up from Hogsmeade especially. It would go along with her two words for James. If he could be romantic why couldn't she? was her reasoning. James did everything in their strange relationship, and Lily felt it was her time to contribute a little something.

Leaving the quill on his desk, Lily took her seat a row infront of the table, watching silently as the rest of the class filed into the room. Professor Flitwick sat atop his many cushions in order to be able to see and maintain the class. The marauders were typically the last to enter the room, taking their seats behind the four girls.

Soon enough a note came sailing over to land in Lily's hair, disguised as a paper crane. Picking up the fake bird Lily unrolled it to come face to face with James' slanted handwriting.

Thankyou for the surprise you left on my desk, Sirius being the right royal git he is thought it was for him! Lily read. Laughing slightly she took a quill from her bag to pen a response.

Sirius would. Thanks again for Sunday.

Maybe we could do it again sometime? she read eagerly. The strangest of sensations started in her stomach as she thought of the prospect of another outing. She had grown to enjoy James' company a lot.

Meet me at the Gryffindor stands tonight? Seven PM, don't eat. she decided to write back, and had she have turned, Lily would've seen the satisfied grin spread across James Potter's face.
