PLOT: Lily, the smart one who would never fall for someone like James Potter. But what happens when they spend a summer together does it lead to paradise or does it lead to complete and utter chaos.
In One Moment
Chapter Seventeen: Pranks and Payback
In One Moment how everything can change.
One Moment! How Fate can rearrange
Your life.
Nothing ever stays the same, it seems.
One moment, and that's the end of all your dreams.
One moment, and what was love can turn to hate!
One Moment, and suddenly its to late
And you find your hopes have turned to dust.
In one moment reality can crack.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The first week of August went smoothly, Lily's mother responded well to treatments, and Lily couldn't be happier. Her mother was happy again, and Lily was happy too. She had James, he made her laugh and he made her cry, but no matter what he was always there, whether to make fun or to have fun. The second half of her summer was progressing better than the first. It took quite some time for her to readjust but she did. She was now living with the Potter's. James had moved her stuff into his room, and he had too much fun doing it.
"James!" hollered Lily, while throwing her clothes around the room.
"Coming!" he called from the Game Room down the hall.
"Boy has she got you whipped." snickered Remus
"Shut-it, she is probably about to throw a hissy fit because Sirius and I changed her clothes to look like a clown and her hair to change outrageous colors every hour."
"You didn't!"
"Yes Aoife we did."
"I have to see this."
"Well if you want to come along you have to be quiet."
"Though we can still watch as she explodes in your face?"
"Whatever."
"JAMES!!!" Lily called again
"Better go before she gets mad." advised Remus while following a very happy James down the hall.
"You rang?" he asked sweetly, as he walked into the room not bothering to hide the smile on his face. He was rather too happy seeing her in her current state. Not good.
"Why yes I did." she cooed. "As a matter of fact I wanted to know who was the genius that changed my clothes cause I absolutely... Love the change."
"You do?" he asked the surprise evident on his face.
"Yes, though the hair is the best part." she answered. James made his way over to his bed and sat on it while bringing Lily closer. His hands closed around her waist and she stood in the middle of his parted legs. "Would you mind telling me who did it James?" she asked while pressing her forehead against his.
"I…I…did." he stammered. He never stammered.
"Just you?" she asked innocently
"Just me."
"How long is it supposed to last for?"
"I think ten days, it won't come off 'til next Saturday though, spell or no spell."
"Interesting."
"Not as interesting as you are going to look."
"Well since you came up with my new look, should I reward you?"
"Let me think about that…Yes!"
"I don't think so…."
"Come on Lil, please?"
"Well then if you are sure that you wouldn't mind if I rewarded you…"
"I am sure, I wouldn't mind. Not at all."
"Though there is one condition…"
"Name it, anything." he interjected.
"My clothes return to their normal state."
"Deal." Then with a flick of his wand the clothes were back to there original state. "Now my reward?"
"Always the eager one."
"Only when it comes to you my sweet." He replied while kissing her neck and bringing her to him so she had to straddle her lap to keep comfortable.
"Okay, okay…calm down…You are going to receive your reward but mind you, I advise you to…savor it." Then without another word her lips descended upon his.
She nibbled on his lower lip and he gladly let her in and their tongues fought a battle for control. Though James wasn't going to give in too easily. HE quickly flipped her onto the bed so his kisses pressed her down into the mattress. While his hand quickly wound its way up her shirt. "James." she moaned unintentionally. As his lips moved from her mouth to her neck she surrendered. "You win." She gasped while trying to get her to stop licking her neck. "Heel boy." She commanded and he stopped and gave her his famous puppy eyes. "You enjoy that?"
"Very much so can we do it again?"
"In ten days." She answered as she quickly wriggled out from underneath him and jumped off the bed.
"Ten days……What…."
"Well its going to wear off in ten days so until then, no kissing, groping, or sleeping in the same bed at night…."
"Though when we sleep together we don't do anything."
"Still, the answer is no."
"W...Why?" he whined
"Next time, James think of the consequences before you do something. That should teach you a lesson."
"You can't be serious Lil!"
"Serious as my hair is blue."
"Well its only blue for another ten minutes then its going to change, because it changes every hour."
"Still, no intimate contact, for ten days."
"Lil, you are being totally unfair!"
"I am not, I expect my stuff moved to the guest room next to AOife's because as far as I am concerned I can not be in this room for ten days." Before James could say another word she was gone and four very amused people walked into the room, only to laugh their heads off at James.
"Busted!" they all screamed
"Go away!" he snapped
"Ouch this ones feisty." laughed Sirius. "Did it have to do with a certain Lily-Flower we all know and love?"
"Get out!" he bellowed
"Geez, it was just a question. Though if you are that mad we will leave you here to pout for the remainder of whatever. You know where to find us if you need us. Come on guys lets leave grumpy James isn't getting any for ten days alone."
James scowled and threw a pillow at Sirius on his way out the door. "No hard feelings?" Sirius asked after the others had left
"Close the door tight on your way out."
"Sure thing." With that he was gone, leaving James alone in his room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So for two days, the constant nagging went on. Lily, will you please stay with me, or Lils, just a small kiss goodnight. It wasn't working, James couldn't tolerate not being able to kiss or to grope his girlfriend. Life was unfair. Well at least for James. All his attempts seemed to go unnoticed by the lovely red head. Well she didn't have red hair any more, it was more every color of the rainbow. Though red hair or no red hair she was still as stubborn as hell. He hated going to sleep alone and not waking up with her in his arms. Sure it had only been a week since they were together but it felt like a century to him. He knew he was acting childish but he couldn't help it. Then it sort of got to him how Lily could pretend that nothing was happening, he was going insane. So he was determined to get her back if it was the last thing he did today. Though he forgot he had never lost her.
"Lily?" he asked while they were in his parents Library finishing up last minute homework.
"James?" she mocked, all the while keeping her eyes on the book she was reading. "Can I help you?"
"Yea you can…"
"King! Come 'ere boy, come on." she beckoned not caring about what James said, or so he thought. King then sauntered over, and jumped on the couch. He then moved to place his head on Lily's lap and she stroked it, while he barked in content. That caused Lily to giggle, James missed hearing her giggle. Oh, how he wished he could be in Kings place right now.
"So, Lil." he continued "What have you been doing for that past few days?"
"Hanging out with King and reading."
"You have been hanging out with my dog…" Instead of me! He thought and a ping of jealousy flooded through him. I'm getting jealous of my dog! This is not happening!
"You're not jealous…are you?"
"Me jealous over King…Nah." I so am! He is a freakin dog, why should he get to spend time with you!
"Okay, so you wanted something?
"Oh yea, I was just wondering if we could hang out tomorrow."
"Like a date?"
"Like a date."
"Sure."
"Sure…I thought you said…"
"I said, no kissing, groping or sleeping together. I neglected to say, talking, hugging, hand holding, comforting, going on dates, spending time together, etcetera."
"B…but…"
"You thought that I meant no contact at all?"
"Well sort of."
"Well, that would explain why you were avoiding me for the past two days. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me."
"No Lily there could never be anything wrong with you."
"Awwww, how sweet, no do us a favor and make out already!" commented Sirius who stopped doing his homework to watch the charade going on before him.
"Be quiet over there! Stop giving him ideas!" scolded Lily
"Stop you are starting to sound like my mother and that is freaky…"
"I have no intentions of being or sounding like your mother…but…"
"I knew there was a but…Is it a big one?"
"But if you don't start shapping up I will be worse than your mother."
"Doubt that she has won the worst mother award for seventeen years now."
"Really, well I one don't piss me off or you'll be sorry award, for the past seventeen years."
Holding his hands up in defeat and bowing his head he spoke. "I get the picture, I surrender to you."
"Good."
"And Sirius you say she has me whipped?"
"Well James she has you whipped but she has me scared for my life."
"Ah, come on I'm not that bad am i?"
"I refuse to answer that question."
"Sirius…puh-lease!"
"La-di-da-dum-dee. I can't hear you! La-di-da-dum-dee."
"You are such a baby."
"La-di-da-dum-dee, still can't hear you."
"Fine then, if you want to play that way." mumbled Lily soft enough that only King could hear. "Sirius, oh my, look Ro, is getting it on with Tristan in the middle of the room."
"What!" he screamed outraged and horrified. "Where is that son of a bitch Butler." He then looked into the middle of the room and saw no one, he then felt soft hands on his back and the warmth of another body against his.
"Siri, you should have seen your face. I wasn't really going at it on the floor." she whispered. "What kind of girl do you think I am?"
"Um…mine?"
"Good answer."
"So…Lily now that the issue with Sirius is solved can we talk about us?" he drawled trying to ignore his best friend making out in the corner.
"What about us?"
"Well this payback thing…its driving me crazy!"
"Ooo, you are tense, come here and let me help you relax." James happily scrambled over to her and sat in front of her like he was just receiving the best gift ever. Her soft hands soon graced his back, and massaged him gently, but effectively. Soon he felt as good as new.
"Ahh." He sighed, it was a sigh of contempt and defeat. "So this date…" he murmured while leaning back against her legs
"What about it?" she asked
"Well how about tomorrow night?"
"When?"
"Eight o'clock tomorrow?"
"Okay…No funny business though."
"Deal."
