Second Year

DDDDDD

"Come on Lily, you have to go. It's Gryffindor versus Slytherin and it's the first game of the season! I know you don't like Quidditch all that much but you have to go. This will be one of the best games of the year. Besides I overheard Diggory saying that he was going to sit with the Gryffindors." Alice had been trying to convince Lily to go to the Quidditch match for the last half hour. It was a last resort to mention Lily's crush, the fourth year Amos Diggory, who sadly wasn't even aware that Lily was alive much less completely infatuated with him.

"Why would I care if Amos were going or not?" Lily still hadn't admitted to anyone besides herself that she liked Diggory. "Besides I have a lot of studying to do and-"

"Just go Lily! You study enough and it has been forever since you have hung out with Frank and me. We miss you! You spend all of your time with Marlene now. We need some us time." Alice started pouting. She missed her best friend, but it was hard for Lily to hang out with her because Lily hated the Marauders who were good friends with Frank. And because when it was just Frank, Lily, and Alice Lily often felt like a third wheel.

Upon seeing Alice's pout Lily had to agree to come; she couldn't stand seeing her best friend upset. She really did miss hanging out with Alice. "Ok I'll go but only because I know I won't have to deal with Potter or Black."

"Oh thank you Lily! You're gunna have such a good time. Plus this is James' first game so he's sure to suck and then you can make fun of him"

"We both know he won't suck Alice, but I'll have fun anyways" They linked arms and headed down the stairs to meet Frank in the common room. "Hey, maybe we will end up sitting by Amos."

They reached to common room in giggles. It was good to hang out with Alice again.

DDDDDD

James was nervous. Today was his first Quidditch game and his stomach was in knots. He could barely even swallow his breakfast earlier. Remus, Sirius, and Peter were doing a great job of keeping his mind occupied but the nerves just wouldn't leave. He needed to calm down the only problem was he didn't know how. "Hey guys I really should go meet up with the team. I'll see you after the game."

As James was walking away Sirius grabbed his arms and pointed towards an approaching group "James, you might want to wait a bit …" James turned his head in the direction Sirius was pointing and saw Lily, Alice, and Frank. A slow smile spread across his face; he knew how he could get rid of his jitters, all he needed was one redhead. She made him think of nothing but her whenever he was with her. She would take his mind off of all of the nerves he was feeling. He didn't know how Sirius wasn't nervous. This was Sirius' first game too, yet Sirius was as composed as normal. James guessed that living in Sirius' household probably made even an angry herd of centaurs seem like a walk in the park.

"Evans! Hey Evans!" James jogged towards the little redhead. "Are you coming to watch my first game?"

"No"

"Come on Evans you don't have to act uninterested I know how you feel about me."

Lily's eyes flashed with anger as she met James'. They were about to battle again and this time she wouldn't lose. "The only thing I feel for you Potter is disgust. Now move out of my way." She went to step around him and he mirrored her. She stepped again. So did he. "Move Potter!" Lily actually stamped her foot in frustration.

James smirked knowing he had Lily right were he wanted her. "I'll move if you wish me good luck."

"Fine, good luck Potter."

"Nope," his smirk got wider at Lily's look of confusion.

She looked up at him in confusion. Why was he saying nope? She did what he asked. "What do you mean 'nope'?"

His mouth almost burst from smiling so wide. Today was the day he would get a kiss from Lily Evans. "You have to kiss me good luck!"

Lily drew back as if she were hit. To say she were shocked at his request would have been a gross understatement. "NO! Absolutely not."

"Would you if I said please?" He questioned as she squirmed uncomfortanbly

"No, now move out of my way!" She waited for him to move but he just stood in front of her smiling. He really was the most infuriating creature.

His smile fell a little, but his resolve didn't. "Bollocks! Oh come on Evans I dare you too."

"No"

In his last desperate attempt he said, "Come on. I double dog dare you!"

Lily narrowed her eyes, yet James could still see the fire blazing in them from his challenge. She took three steps forward grabbed his face and pressed her lips to his for a few brief seconds. After the kiss James smiled winningly at Lily before walking off.

Once Lily calmed down she realized what she did. Her mouth fell open. James had been her first kiss. James had been her first kiss … and he had won.

DDDDDD
