OK so here's an update on this story. To answer the two reviewers I got, I beat myself up because I'm afraid people won't like it and since generally not many people review my stories, I'm never sure how good or bad it is and how I could improve. That's an invitation for everyone to review this story but also my other ones (Of patrols and love, One peep is all it takes, Knock on Wood baby!)
So, here I am stuck with a stupid dare I have two weeks to fulfill. Two weeks to kiss, well snog, two different boys, whom I care about. I'm going to kill Mary for what she got me into. I really don't want to mess up my chances with the guy I'd like to go out with; I'm really not all that crazy about him, we just click as friends and I'm harboring a small crush on him so turning it into something more is definitely not something I would object to. I really don't want to go out with my hottest guy though, although I'm sure he's an excellent kisser; at least that what his reputation says. I have no idea how I'm going to do this, one thing is sure though, no lies. I might even tell Mary who the boys are if she helps somewhat.
Lily was musing over breakfast the next morning about the dare Mary had set her.
"Mary, do you know where James and Sirius are?" asked Lily suddenly noting their absence.
"I believe James went to the hospital wing to see Remus and Peter and Sirius is either sleeping in or up to no good why?"
"Just curious, listen I'm going to head off early to Potions because I'm all done here and I'd rather leave now OK?"
"Yeah sure, no prob, I'll see you in Transfiguration Lily."
Lily Evans walked down the halls of Hogwarts down to the gloomy dungeons in which took place Potions class. She leaned back against the wall and sighed as she set her heavy bag on the ground. She was however awaken by noise next to the door and several choice curse words that would make McGonagall as red as tomato.
Without opening her eyes she said, "Sirius, he put a locking spell of his own invention on the door ever since that time in fourth year when you and James cursed all the cauldrons to throw up the user' potion every ten minutes."
"Those were the days; I just wanted to hide a camera in the wall so I could capture Emmeline in the act of flirting with Slughorn. How did you know it was me anyways?"
"Only you would come here early enough as you're not visiting Remus, I knew you would be planning a prank or something of the sort," she opened her eyes " And besides who else swears by using their own mother?"
"Point taken," Sirius grinned and came to stand in front of her. "So Flower, I believe you owe me a snog...'
"Oh really? Pray tell why?"
"Well your dare was to kiss the objectively best looking guy around and that just has to be me doesn't it?"
"What makes you think it isn't Kingsley Shacklebolt I find to be the most attractive guy around. He's got that charm, and those pearly whites going for him."
"Shacklebolt, yes I'll admit he's a possibility. So are you saying that it isn't me?" Sirius smiled down at her. "My ego is deeply wounded Flower!"
Lily looked at him got away from the wall and kissed him for several seconds on the mouth;
"There's a kiss to make it better," she whispered in his ear.
Sirius chuckled and looked her in the eye, "Flower, the terms of the dare were a full out snog you know."
"There goes that ego of yours again. What makes you think that was part of the dare and that it wasn't just a pity kiss?"
Sirius came close to her, backed her up against the wall and murmured in her ear "Instinct"
He then slowly started kissing her and then he ran his tongue along her lips which she parted, allowing him to explore her mouth. He had one hand on her hip and one in her hair while she was griping his shirt in one hand and had her other on his shoulder bringing him closer to her. The kiss wasn't fiery and full of lust, it was slow and natural, basically devoid of any feeling except instinct and pure curiosity. They broke apart when they needed air and heard some noises coming from the classroom.
Sirius backed up and started talking to Lily "Excellent snog by the way Flower."
Lily smirked and said he wasn't too bad himself.
"Sirius, what just happened, there weren't any feelings involved on your side right? Because that's not what that was about for me."
"Don't worry Lily, there weren't any feelings beside curiosity involved in that kiss. I like you too much as a friend to go out with you; I think you know me too well for us to have any kind of relationship but friendship, " Sirius grinned "Besides, I wouldn't do that to James..."
"He doesn't still like me does he?"
"No Flower, he loves you; It's not that he's told me or anything, but even buried, his feelings for you run deep. You wouldn't happen to reciprocate those feelings would you now?"
"Kind of, I mean we just click and I have a small crush on him so maybe I could date him. But I also have a small crush on another guy that I click with. Besides, I don't think it would be fair to James to go out with him if I'm not sure of my feelings, I don't want to hurt him somewhere down the line and break his heart. And to top it all I just snogged you, and there is no way if I want to have any kind of relationship with James that I can not tell him, I hate lies."
"Do you want me to tell him? Say it was my fault?"
"No because, it takes two to snog Sirius and I enjoyed it as much as you did although you're not to let that go to your head. Like I said, it's not the only problem anyways."
"I think the fact that you're considering his feelings so much is proof that I can trust you not to break his heart. Just be careful on how you tell him about our kiss if you think you have to tell him."
At this Slughorn opened the door and preceded by his velvet covered belly boomed "Lily m'dear! How are you? Mister Black, not up to trouble I hope?"
Before either could answer the rest of the class started coming from the Great Hall and poured into the classroom; Amongst them were James and Remus. The four Gryffindors entered the room to see Emmeline Vance twisting and flicking her hair while batting her eyelashes at Slughorn who was looking surprised but slightly smug. Sirius chuckled and took his camera out and flashed a picture.
Alright, I didn't really know how to end it so I'll just leave it at that for the moment. I kind of like this chapter but tell me what you think please!
