Despite the fact that James usually disdained anyone who put that much thought into schoolwork, he couldn't keep himself from feasting his eyes upon Lily and wondering what force of nature made her look like such a goddess and made him act like such a pervert.

James hadn't studied. He vaguely remembered a late-night incident, probably the reason Sirius was now in the hospital wing, while James stared dumbfounded at the last three questions on his potions exam in the Great Hall.
There was nothing he could do. He looked over at Remus, who sat with his eyebrows creased in deep thought, eyes scanning his invariable perfect answers in search of nonexistent mistakes. James tried to catch Moony's eye, but he was too engrossed in the exam.
James glanced at Peter, who leaned over the desk with the tip of his quill in his mouth, his chin resting on his hand, and his right foot tapping nervously on the floor of the Great Hall. James knew better than to interrupt him; Peter tried the hardest out of them all, but he somehow kept the lowest grades in everything but charms. He was naturally gifted at charms, and his entire reputation rested precariously on that fact. Without charms, Peter would be just another Hogwarts student.
James looked around again. His gaze fell on Lily, three seats over in his same row. Her fiery orange hair was pulled uncharacteristically back into a tight bun to keep it from getting in her way. Sometime that morning a few thin strands had found their way out of her hair tie, framing her face with two perfect curls. James imagined her pulling our her bun, her waves tumbling down her shoulders all the way to her elbows. Even from a few seats away James could smell the soft scents of lavender that floated his way every time Lily moved. She sat with her eyebrows closely knit in thought; the tip of her quill barely touching her chin as it scrawled across the page. Every so often she would frown slightly, leaning closer to the paper to carefully scratch out an offending word or phrase. James could only imagine the thoughts going though her head, analyzing every last ingredient, checking and rechecking each step. She was probably the only Gryffindor student still fully focused on her exams; Remus would be finished by now, Peter was always nervous about something, and the rest of the house surely couldn't care as much about the test as Lily, the almost-Ravenclaw. Despite the fact that James usually disdained anyone who put that much thought into schoolwork, he couldn't keep himself from letting his gaze drift back towards Lily.
A/N: So... I apologize for any cheesiness in this chapter. I wrote it when I finished my math final, and it just seemed appropriate :) Also... I'd like you to know that this chapter was supposed to be simple, which it was until the other half of livingmyths and my friend PW decided to edit it very, very viciously. So basically... I hope you like it. Review please! :)
