James's smile broadened as he continued reading. At the end she wrote "Love" he couldn't help but thinking. He sent a flirty smile and a wink towards Lily and she batted her eyes, of coarse just to lead him on. Quickly his smile turned to a frown as he read the last part.

"Eww James, save it for the toilet!" Sirius said in a mock childish voice. You smell disgusting. "Save it Sirius!" James snapped. He got up and stalked off.

"Wow, can you say MOODY, I was only joking." Sirius said confused.

James couldn't believe what Lily did. It felt like his heart had been ripped out and stomped upon repeatedly. It hurt a lot every time she had turned him down, but this time she had gone too far. His eyes stung with tears but he attempted to blink them back, but when this failed he sprinted up to Gryffindor tower and into his dormitory.

Lily watched him go, her friends were laughing "Lily that was so funny!" Sienna said between laughs and gasping for breath. They didn't see the hurt in his eyes and she couldn't help but think that even though he looked pained he still looked incredibly hott. No she corrected herself, you don't like James Potter.

Lily didn't laugh with her friends; instead she got up and followed him out. "What's gotten into her?" Kat asked, curiously.

Lily had a pretty good idea of where he would be, and since it was a Saturday she didn't have to worry about getting to class. She said the password "Custard Creams" to the Fat Lady, and walked through the portrait hole, and ran up the stairs to James's dormitory.

She silently opened the door to hear a few sobs, that were cut off by a "Who's there?" when he saw Lily he said "Oh its you" in almost a mean, but very hurt sort of tone. He quickly tried to brush his tears away, but failed.

"Why did you do it?" He asked looking into her emerald green eyes.

She could barely answer, her emotions were running wild, she wanted to comfort him but also to yell at him for being an insufferable prat, she also wanted to hug him but also to slap him, but most of all she wanted to apologize.

"Look James, I just got really tired of your teasing and pranking, and the way you treat other people if you are in a bad mood, it just got to me. I was angry, but now I see that that was the wrong way to tell you. You must really care about me, to be up here crying." And then she did something she thought she would never do.

She leaned in until the gap between their lips disappeared, into a full on kiss. It was very emotional, filled with everything that had been on their minds since the start of school. When they broke apart they looked deeply into each others eyes, and they just knew that it felt right.

They leaned back in, and this time the kiss went a little further. James ran his tongue against her lower lip, and she willingly opened. Small shivers went up her spine; she never knew she could feel this way, and especially about James Potter.

Just then, mid-snog, the door opened and Sirius walked in. "Wow, did I miss something?" he asked, his eyes full of questions. "When did Miss Lillian here start snogging Prongs?

Lily and James just gave each other knowing looks and smiled at Sirius "Why whatever do you mean, Padfoot? We were just having some fun." "Uh James, I mean you snogging with the girl, who wouldn't even look you in the eye, until apparently this morning."

"Oh and by the way Lily your friends are down in the common room, but why don't I just go get them and you can give us all your nice little explanation." Serius said, with a 'you know you love me smirk.'

"Oi girls! James and Lillian here have something to tell you.

"Can't you guys just come down here and say it? The common room is deserted anyways, in case it's something totally private" said a very annoyed sounding Sienna. "I think it would be a better idea if you came up here" replied Sirius.

James and Lily were sitting next to each other on James's bed, smiling with goofy smiles on their faces, while Sirius was standing near Remus's bed with his hands on his hips, it was a very odd sight to walk in on, if you didn't know what had just happened.

"What's going on here?" Alice asked in almost a motherly voice. "Well I was walking up to our room after breakfast because I was wondering if James was in it. I opened the door to find those two-" he stopped and pointed at James and Lily "Were snogging like there was no tomorrow."

"What!" "Your kidding" "No way" and other astonished remarks came from the girls, and Remus, who had just walked in and had heard the last part.

"Lillian Kate Evans, our dormitory, NOW!" Natasha said strictly "Yes mother" replied Lily.

Kat, Alice, Sienna, Natasha, and Lily walked in to their dormitory. "I sense tension" Alice said, and everyone started laughing, leave it to Alice to break the silence.

"Ok girl, dish, we want to know exactly why you were just snogging, and of all people, JAMES POTTER!" Sienna said excitedly, they all had a good idea that this would happen eventually.

"Well I felt really bad for him, so I followed him up to his dormitory, and I didn't know what to do, and I dunno… I just kissed him, and then it went deeper then that. It was the most amazing feeling, I never thought- of all people, that I would be kissing James Potter, but for some reason it just worked.

"Say no more, I understand." Said Alice, who had been dating Frank Longbottom since fourth year.

"So does this mean that you are dating?" asked Kat, happiness shone on her face. "Well I don't know it depends on what he wants. Lily said very thoughtfully.

"Somehow I have no doubt that is what he wants" said Sienna with a laugh, because she had known James and Sirius since they were young. "You really think so?" asked Lily "We know so" they all chimed in unison.

After dinner, James confronted Lily. "Do you want to take a walk?" He asked tentatively. "I would love to!" replied Lily.

They strolled out onto the grounds and by the lake at the edge of the forest. Lily shivered a little bit, it was starting to get a lot colder, and winter would be coming soon.

"Look James, the only reason I would say no every time you asked me out was because I thought that I was going to be one of your one week girlfriends, and I didn't want that. I wanted you to realize that you couldn't have everything you wanted. But I really liked you, the whole time. I guess I could say I was just scared, even my friends didn't really know how I felt, but I think they sensed it; especially the way how I would always talk about you, even if I was saying not so nice things." Lily said she wasn't sure how James was taking it.

"Say no more Lily. I just want you to know that I have really liked you since the moment I met you. I played pranks on you, just so you would notice me and talk to me, well actually yell but that's a different story. It hurt every time you turned me down, but especially in the letter, I felt torn apart, and it was almost more then I could handle." Said James.

Lily wouldn't let him continue for she intertwined him in a passionate kiss. James broke apart, breathing heavily. "Lily will you go out with me?" He asked for probably the billionth time. "No James Potter I won't go out with you." She answered. "Oh" he sounded hurt. "I'm just joking, god I didn't think you were that gullible. Of coarse I'll go out with you!" She said happily, with a slight laugh. And they walked up to the castle, hand in hand.

Authors Note: Ok so that wasn't 5 reviews, but I decided that I don't care anyways. The reason it took so long to update was that I've had a ton of homework, and last weekend I was in Spokane- a city in eastern Washington, for a wedding. Well I hope you liked it. Please, please review, they make me feel soooo happy! Thanks! –Pink Luvin Goddess
