"Perfection"

"I love you not because you're perfect, but because you're perfect for me." Anonymous

"Alice, can we go yet?" Allie asked, wrapping her arms around herself to keep warm outside the boys' locker room. "It's freezing."

"Allie, I'm waiting to congratulate Frank," Alice said shivering, "Just five more minutes."

"Why can't you congratulate him later?" Allie asked.

"Please," Lily pleaded. She was rubbing her hands together and jumping slightly up and down, off the ground.

"One more minute," Alice said.

"Alice, I'm cold!" Allie exclaimed, "Please!" Alice sighed. Lily grabbed her arm and pulled her along, back to the castle.

"Besides, it's not like he caught the snitch," Lily explained as their voices faded in the wind.

"I know, but…"

…

"I love parties," Sirius exclaimed, "Booze all around!"

James shook his head and chuckled. "Hot girls, dancing, jokes, make out sessions," Sirius said while counting off all the things he liked about parties.

"Padfoot, is that all you care about?" James asked.

Sirius looked at him and snapped his fingers. "Of course not! There's the food. How could I forget the food?"

"Now my favorite is the…" Sirius babbled on as they walked out of the locker room.

…

"Sirius, get off the table!" Lily shouted over the blasting music. Sirius bent over and screamed, "What?"

"Get off the table!" Sirius placed his hands by his ears indicating that he couldn't hear. Lily shook her head in frustration.

"Never mind!" she exclaimed, giving up.

"What?" Lily sighed, clamped her hands over her ears, and walked away. She needed to sit down. As she pushed her way towards the couch, two hands abruptly grabbed her shoulders. Lily grabbed her wand from under her cloak, ready to curse her attacker.

"Whoa, calm down Lily. I just need you to hide me."

Instantly, Lily relaxed. She recognized the voice, James.

"What for?" she asked as she was guided away from the couch. She turned to look at James, expecting an answer.

"Don't look at me. She'll know." Lily arched one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows.

"Turn around," James commanded. Lily did as he told.

"Baker's looking for me," he explained, "and I really don't want to talk to her."

"And why are you using me as a shield?" she asked, "I'm not a great one, you know?"

James chuckled, "I know, but Baker's scared of you."

"Huh?"

"I heard her muttering to her friends one day about something you did to her," he told her.

"Really?" Lily smirked.

"You know anything about it?" he asked her as he ducked when Camille glared at Lily.

"No, she must have been lying," Lily lied. Behind her James nodded his head.

Lily wore a smug smile, knowing that the punch she had given hadn't been forgotten. Camille was still glaring at her, so Lily waved at her. Camille frowned and spun around and left. Lily giggled.

"It's safe now," Lily turned around and told James.

"Good," he said as he stood straight up. Lily tried to stifle a yawn as she arched her back and threw her hands up in the air.

"I'm tired. Can you handle everyone by yourself, James?" James frowned.

Lily turned to go upstairs. She had had enough with the victory party. She needed to rest. James grabbed her wrist. Lily turned around, confused. James dropped her hand.

"Wait, I need to talk to you." Lily nodded slowly, waiting for him to begin. James took in a deep breathe as he watched Lily.

"Somewhere else," he explained.

"What if something happened?" Lily asked him, glancing around at the party.

"Remus'll take care of it," James assured.

"I suppose he will if he isn't already drunk."

"He's not," James said.

Lily nodded. James held her hand as he guided her out of the mob of people around them. Lily glanced down at their intertwined hands and couldn't help think that it felt just right.

He has a girlfriend. He has a girlfriend. We're friends, that's it!

As Lily closed the portrait behind them, James still didn't let go of her hand.

Maybe he forgot.

She wasn't sure where they were going, but the surroundings seemed familiars. Lily glanced over at James, who face was etched with concentration. Lily curiosity grew when she notice they circled the same corridor over and over. Just as she was going to ask James what they were doing a door suddenly appeared. James looked over at Lily and smiled.

"Where did it come from?" she asked amazed.

"Magic," James said.

"I love magic!" Lily whispered excitedly. James laughed as he guided her into the room. Lily looked around the room and finally sat down next to a rather amused James. Lily turned to look at him, smiling.

"What?" she asked.

"You've been in here before," James said amused.

"I have?" Lily asked confused. James nodded, smiling.

"That time when I pulled you here, against your will," James began.

"And where we shared our first kiss," Lily finished slightly pink in the face. James nodded.

Silence.

Lily looked at her folded hands on her lap.

What was he trying to do?

"We broke up." Lily head sprung up, eyes wide.

"What? Broke up?"

"Michelle and I, we broke up. Actually, I broke up with her, but she wanted to, too. " he said, "She thought I had someone else in mind, and I think she's right."

"Who?" Lily asked softly. James sifted over. Lily bowed her head down.

"You."

Just that word made her heart soar, but there was always that one doubt.

"But I'm not perfect."

James lifted her chin up so that she was looking up to him, her green eyes into his hazel eyes.

"You don't need to be perfect, I like you just the way you are." Lily eyes brighten, sparkled.

"You are an angel," he whispered while he held her hand gently in his'.

"I want to be with you, Lily…"

James was cut off as Lily's lips connected with his. He soon held her as his hands wounded around her waist. They stayed like that for awhile. When they broke apart, both of them were breathing heavily.

"So that's a yes?"

Lily nodded smiling, "Definitely."

"Good, cause I wasn't going to take no as an answer," James whispered. He went in for another kiss. Lily smiled shyly and held her finger up against his lip. James arched his eyebrows two inched away from her face. Lily giggled as her hands reached up for him. James smirked.

"You sure like control," he joked. Lily nodded and went in for the kiss.
