Hey all! Well, haven't written a story in a while so this is a warm-up. I just wondered what would happen if Lily and James were both afraid of spiders and there was only a table to stand on. R and R

Lily sat in the Heads common room studying. James walked in and sat down opposite Lily at the small worktable. A few minutes of silence passed before James was startled out of his thoughts of Lily.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" Lily shriek, jumping onto the small table.
"What? What is it?" James looked around in fear.
"That!" Lily cried pointing at a large, black spot on the floor.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" James yelled as he scrambled to join Lily atop the small table. They stood with their arms around each other watching fearfully as the spider crept slowly toward them.
"It's going to eat me!" Lily clung tighter to James. They both shook like leaves in the wind.
"I didn't know you are afraid of spiders." James smirked at the girl in his arms. Lily gave him a pouty look.
"And I supposed you simply screamed like a girl and clung to me for dear life because you wanted to comfort me in my fear of the horrid creatures?" James seemed to be thinking and then nodded with a wide grin on his face.
"Yup, I just wanted to make you feel better." Lily smiled.
"Then in that case you can go down there and kill the spider." Lily spoke in a sugary sweet voice. James' eyes bulged in disbelief.
"WHAT! But that thing is huge! And it's scary."
"Eek! It's coming closer James!" Lily squeaked as she clung tighter to James.
"It's okay, it'll be okay." James tried to soothe her and quell his own fear of the spider. They drifted into silence after a while, just standing comfortably in each others arms.
Lily's sparkling, emerald eyes stared into James' twinkling, hazel eyes. A small smile passed over Lily's features as James slowly lowered his head to hers. Their lips touched and the world faded into oblivion as the simple kiss deepened into passion and love.
"JAMES! BUDDY, O'L PAL O' MINE! WHERE ARE YOU?" Sirius bellowed as he, Remus and Peter walked in to the Heads common room.
"Are we interrupting something here?" Lily and James broke apart.
"Uh, there was a spider and it was big and scary and we were scared and THERE IT IS! KILL IT!" Lily shrieked the last part pointing at the beady-eyed creature.
Sirius rolled his eyes and walked over, squashing the spider.
James got down from the small table first, then, helped Lily down.
"Does this mean you two are going out now?" Peter asked. Lily looked at James and nodded in question.
"Yeah, Peter, it does mean we are going out." James pulled Lily to him and kissed her forehead.
