Summary: James Potter is tired of having girls throw themselves at his feet the second he flashes them one of his famous smiles. So, when he hears of Muggle Born Lily Evans, who is saving herself for marriage, he realizes that this is just the challenge he is looking for. But, what happens when what started out as just another game for James blossoms into something much more? Something like… love?
---------------------------------------------------------------
Clip From Past Chapter: "Who is it?" James inquired, his enthusiasm increasing at the thought of finally finding a girl who was a challenge for him. He rubbed his hands together anxiously. She sounded perfect.
"Her name is Lily... Lily Evans."

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing that is even remotely related to Harry Potter, although strangely enough, my name resembles one of the main characters. (My name is Lily!)

A/N: Before I let you read the next chapter, I just wanted to thank you guys for the reviews I'm getting! Keep them coming! With that said, here's chapter 2 of "Losing It." Also, please check out my other story, "People Change." It would mean a lot to me if I got some more reviews for that story.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Lily Evans. James couldn't believe he hadn't thought of it before. She was the sodding Head Girl for Merlin's sake! She was sleeping just a few yards away from him! James mentally smacked himself in the head for not noticing it before. He had to be the biggest bloody idiot in the world. What was worse, was that even though she practically lived with him, he couldn't find her for the life of him. What the hell was up with that? Had he mysteriously gone blind, and his friends though it was a funny joke not to tell him or something?
A day passes. And then a few more, and James had only seen Lily in passing in the hallways. He would have tried to meet her while she was walking to try and talk to her, but the bloody girls were always bombarding him. And like he had said before... he was one to please. He couldn't just have the girls waiting.
So, one day James woke up, and headed down for the Great Halls, wanting a little nourishment. He had been searching endlessly for Lily, but never seemed to be able to catch her. All that searching left James Potter hungry. And not just for food... he was hungry for a little Lily Evans as well.
"Hello, Mooney, my furry little friend. And Sirius, my ugly little friend," he teased as he sat down, piling up the potatoes and sausages onto his plate. He had barely eaten while he had been trying to seek out the mysterious Evans. (A/N: Maybe you have noticed, maybe you haven't, but I refuse to include Peter Sodding Pettigrew in any of my stories. He sickens me. Hehe, thought I might as well get that out.)
"Obviously not too ugly, if I've shagged 3 girls in the past 2 days," Sirius announced, beaming. "While you haven't gotten much action lately. I'm afraid I'm going to win our bet, my inexperienced buddy. And I'm definitely not little, if you catch my drift." Sirius smirked.
There was a bet, that started in 5th year. The bet eventually lead to Sirius and James becoming the well known man-whores that they were. And, although Remus got around as well, but was much more conserved, and cared about the woman he chose to seduce. Therefore, he was not part of this particular bet. Anyhow, James and Sirius had somehow managed to lose their virginity the same night in fifth year. After that, they had kept track of how many girls they had banged, and at the end of each year, they would compare. Both boys had won at least once. This was the deciding year. This was the year that would determine which of the two friends was the more desirable, most wanted guy in Hogwarts.
"No matter," James said, attacking his potatoes. But inside, it did matter. He was having serious girl withdrawal pains. He needed to shag somebody... and fast, before his manliness disappeared.
"Although that would never happen," James smirked, thinking of how well, ahem, endowed he was.
But well endowed or not, James was a boy, a seventeen year old boy, and sex was constantly on his mind. And he needed some. NOW.He quickly scanned the room, until he found a delicious looking 6th grader, gazing at him.
Flashing her his pearly whites, he whipped his hand through his hair, and winked. He loved the effect he had on girls. Instantly, he saw a flush rise up her cheeks, as she looked around her, obviously wondering if The James Potter was looking at her, giving her those looks.
"Yes, you," he mouthed, and waved her over. She looked over to her friends, gave a squeal, and made her way over to James, her knees buckling as she approached her.
"I was just wondering," he started smoothly, pulling her down to sit in his lap, "If you would want some private quittich lessons... with yours truly," he grinned. "I could let you ride my broom." He added with a smirk.
This proved to be too much for the girl, and she couldn't help but squeal delightedly.
"So..." James stood up, and gestured to her. "I take that as a yes?"
She could only nod as she followed James out of the Great Hall. Oh yes, James would let her ride her broom. But not the one that those with clean minds were thinking of.
---------------------------------------------------------------
James felt much more fulfilled and satisfied as he made his way back into the castle. That romp had been just what he needed. Sighing with contentment, he began to walk through the halls, intending to actually go to his DADA lesson today, when he ran into a scenario that was most unexpected, but not unwelcome in the least. For James had just run into the girl he'd been trying to find all day... Lily Evans. And she did not seem to be very happy... more like flustered.
"Lily, I seriously think that we need to have a talk," a 7th year boy, that James distinctly recognized as a boy named Lee, (from Ravenclaw) declared, running to catch up with Lily, who was a few paces ahead of him.
"Yes, Lee?" Lily smiled up at him. "I haven't talked to you for a few days, but I'm about to be late for my DADA lesson, you see, and..."
James heart soared. So she was in the same DADA class as him? Major bonding time there!
"But Lily, can't this wait?" Lee pleaded, looking at her with puppy dog eyes. James saw Lily melt, and give in.
"Note to self," he thought, "Puppy dog eyes is a yes."
"I think it's time, since you and me have been together for what it seems like a year and a half, to take our relationship to the next level. We've only ever made out, and although it's great... well, sex seems reasonable now." Lee finished.
Lily flushed as she stared out at her boyfriend with emerald eyes.
"Incredible eyes," James found himself thinking, as he stared out at those phenomenal eyes that made guy's hearts melt all throughout Hogwarts. How had he never noticed them before?
"Lee, you know I love you, but I can't," she said, peering out at him, as she turned the color of her dazzling auburn hair. "I have to wait until the time is right, you know?"
"Well, what are you waiting for? Is it marriage?" Lee inquired, somewhat angrily. James could understand. If this guy hadn't cheated on Lily, than he had been sex deprived for the year and a half he had been going out with Lily.
"Either that or true and unrequited love," she whispered, then instantly covered her mouth with his hands.
"Evans – 1. Lee – 0, and a smashed ego." James thought to himself.
"So you don't love me? We've been together a fucking year and a half, of which you've deprived me from the thing every sane 17 year old guy is after, and it's still not 'true love' to you Lily?" Lee was shaking slightly, and he looked like he was about to go insane. "We need to do this Lily. I love you, and it's finally time," he said, and grabbed Lily's hands, pulling her into a passionate kiss.
Lily pulled away, and looked out at Lee. "No, Lee. We don't. If you really cared about me, you'd understand why I have to wait. I'm not going to have sex now, OK?"
"Were you raped or something? Why are you so reluctant to do this with me? I don't have any unknown nasty diseases, and... well, let's just say I aim to please. I'm very big in certain places."
Lily blushed, and she started to look visibly nervous. She began to twiddle her thumbs. "Lee, I wasn't raped." She said slowly, looking up at him as if she was seeing him for the first time.
"Well, then what is holding you back? It's not like this would be your first time or anything," he snorted.
Lily looked down, and Lee instantly knew the truth. Lily was a virgin. James heart soared. A VIRGIN. He had hit the jackpot this time. He'd get to deflower Lily. He had only had sex with a virgin once, and it was the best shag he'd ever had.
"I... I have to go," Lily said tentatively, and strode away very quickly, leaving a dumbfounded Lee standing in the middle of the hallway. With a shake of his head, he disappeared to his class.
James, however, made his way to class, where Remus and Sirius were already seated, waiting for their professor to begin the lesson.
---------------------------------------------------------------
As the class bustled around, James held Sirius back, and told him of what he had just encountered with Lily and Lee. He left nothing out to Sirius, as he wanted his mate to see all of the beauty of the situation.
"Virgin, huh?" Sirius said, eyeing Lily with newfound interest. From what James had told her, Lily didn't give herself up for just anyone. And if her boyfriend of 1 and a half years hadn't been good enough, then James might not be either. He arched an eyebrow. James was ahead of his so far this year in the amount of girls they had shagged. Sirius had a brilliant idea.
"Prongs, how's about a little bet?" he inquired, looking at James curiously. James stared back at him, and nodded his head, indicating that Sirius should continue on with his thought. "If you can get Lily in bed with you by the end of this year, you win, regardless how many more or less girls you've banged this year compared to me." Sirius said, waiting for James' answer.
"Let's make this more interesting," Remus said, joining in on their conversation. "If James can sac Lily, he wins the competition, and we each pitch in 100 galleons," Remus said, smiling devishly. "But if you, Sirius, can get Snape to fall in love with you, than you win the competition, and me and James both fork over 100 galleons to you." Remus chuckled with James. It was no secret that Snape was gay. It was also no secret that Snape hated Gryffindors. "And lastly, if I can get... hmmm..." Remus paused for a moment.
"If you can get McGonagall to sleep with you, you get 150 galleons from both me and Jamesie," Sirius said, laughing at his own genius. Finally somebody else would be teased for her!
Remus cringed slightly, but looked up and nodded.
"Is it a deal?" He asked the other boys, as he stuck out his hand. Sirius and James looked at each other, and an agreement was set. They each, in turn, nodded their heads, and stuck their hands out. The three boys shook, and then shuddered. A feeling of finality hung in the air between them.
Remus smiled as he began to read through his textbook. "Well then... let the games begin."
