The Operation was a plan to seduce James. Why? Because Lily was too proud to admit that she liked James straight out, to his face. No, she needed to lure him in, to make him ask her out one more time, so she could finally "give in" and give him one chance. What better way than to seduce a guy through the oldest way possible… his "other head".

The Operation came into action on April 2nd 1977. After weeks of planning Lily had decided she was ready to begin (A.N. Lily is extremely intelligent so I figured she'd probably put a lot of planning into this)

It began with a pair of knickers…if you could even call them that. While James was at Quidditch training Lily had slipped out of her room holding a very skimpy black lace g-string. She had walked over to James's bedroom door, where a basket of clean folded washing sat and she'd carefully slipped the knickers in between James's clothes. Then, happy with her work, she'd curled up on the couch with a book. When James had returned from training she asked for James to put away the washing that sat outside his door, using the excuse that she had almost tripped over it. James complied and then told Lily that if there weren't any Head duties he had to complete he was going to have a bath in the Heads Bathroom. Once Lily was sure that the door was locked she raced into James's room to check the whereabouts of her knickers…and she found them under his pillow. Making her way back to her room Lily had ticked of the first box on her list…James had found, and kept her knickers.

"Um, Potter, you haven't by any chance, err, seen a pair of underpants have you? It's just that I've lost a pair and all the others are in the wash." Lily pretended to be extremely embarrassed about having to ask him but she knew she had to make sure he knew that the underpants were hers; it was all part of the overall plan. Glancing up she was thrilled to see James had turned the colour of beetroot and he gulped before answering her "Ah, um, I don't know, I'll just check…" He disappeared, reappearing a few minutes later with her knickers in his hand and a book held over his lower regions. Lily suppressed a smirk as she took them back of him and she tried to act out an embarrassed but relieved thanks. "Thankyou, um, James. I really needed these 'cause otherwise I'd have to go without knickers until the washing came in", and with that Lily turned and fled to her room, slamming the door and casting a silencing charm before she burst into loud, long laughter. Even in her wildest dreams Lily could not have imagined the look on James's face when he realised that the very sexy black lace g-string he had found actually belonged to Miss Goody-Good Head Girl, Lily Evans.

A week or so passed with Lily spending most of the time planning. Enlisting the help of her best friend Alice, Lily plotted her next move quietly. She wandered around the Common Room in skimpy pyjamas or wrapped in only a towel, purposely getting caught by James. Sometimes she would leave her bra or knickers lying around and once, after asking James levitate all the dirty washing down to the house elves, she "forgot" there were no towels and had to make her way from the bathroom to her bedroom completely naked, once again getting "accidentally" caught by James. Then, finally, the day came. It was a Saturday, one of the ones that a Quidditch match was planned, and while James spent the whole day out preparing, playing and then celebrating the game, Lily spent the entire time in the Head Quarters with her friends, being completely made-over. Lily was waxed and scrubbed (by magic of course) and then her friends got to work with spells that made hair soft, straight and shiny, her skin beautiful and silky, her eyes bright and gorgeous and her make-up natural and stunning. Once finished the girls evacuated the room and Lily changed into her black lacy g-string and a large Griffindor Quidditch jumper, which reach just low enough not to show her underpants. When James returned to the Head Quarters Lily was leaning over the back of the couch with her back to him, Quidditch shirt hitched up enough to reveal her sexy black panties. Lily was talking loudly with Alice through a two-way mirror and James stopped when he heard their conversation.

Alice: "So, tell me exactly what this dream was that you had last night, Lily"

Lily: (sigh) "Okay well you know how I told you about how I asked James to give the house elves all the dirty washing a little while back and then I forgot that I didn't have a towel and I had a bath and had to run back to my room naked?"

Alice: "Yeah"

Lily: "Well in my dream it happened again but when I was returning to my room I bumped into James who was already ready for bed and was therefore only wearing a pair of boxers"

Alice: "OMG! No way"

Lily: "Now, as you can probably imagine seeing James Potter in only his boxers can make a girl pretty horny and as James and I were trying to pass each other we kept getting closer and closer till we were rubbing up against each other, and then I noticed that he was really hard and I just couldn't resist any more."

Alice: "No way"

Lily: "So I kind of just let my hand cup him, through his boxers and when I did he kinda just lost control and pressed me up against the wall"

Alice: (really breathy voice) "You're joking"

Lily: "Then he was kissing me and then he stopped because he realised what he was doing and he started apologising and I just rubbed my hip against him and he moaned and it felt so good that I could do that to him so I leaned over, right next to his ear and whispered 'Shut up and fuck me'."

Alice: (shocked) "LILY!"

Lily: "And he was really shocked, but he did"

Alice: "Lily I can't believe you swore and lost your virginity to James Potter in a dream…did you like it?"

Lily: "Alice this James Potter we're talking about here…James-seriously-hot-makes-me-horny Potter and you're asking if I enjoyed it?"

Alice: "I'll take that as a yes"

Lily: "Of course I did! Now can we stop talking about my dream because it's really turning me on and James is going to be back from the party soon and I need all my strength to resist jumping on him."

Alice: "You make that sound as if that would be a bad thing"

Lily: (warning voice) "Alice, let me go and have my bath"

Alice: "All right, go. You be a good girl and don't do anything I wouldn't"

Lily snorted and flipped shut the mirror, tossing it onto her bed and closing the door so she could undress for the bath. Hidden in the shadows James took a couple of deep breaths, suddenly noticing that his pants were far too tight. Making up his mind quickly he stripped and tiptoe to the bathroom where he jumped in at the far side of the huge pool-like bath that filled the room. Listening carefully he heard Lily make her way in and he ducked under the water, making it appear as if the room was empty.

Lily slid delicately into the water, rubbing her hands over her tired body jumping when she felt two hands that were not her own stroking and massaging her shoulders. "I hear someone had a rather pleasant dream last night" James whispered in her ear, his voice husky. Lily smiled and turned around to face him, her eyes wide and innocent "Pleasant dreams" she pondered aloud "Can't say I remember".
