Sirius Competition

I don't own HP. J. K. Rowling does.

The kiss lasted about six seconds before the pulled apart. Lily slapped James, even though she didn't hate the kiss.

"OW! It was Moony's dare! Slap him!" James said. "So am I a good kisser?" James smiled at Lily. She slapped him again.

"She just doesn't want to admit it," Sirius grinned.

"Okay- Padfoot, Truth or Dare?"

"Prongsie boy, must you even ask? Dare!"

"Okay... okay... uh... Drink a bottle of Firewhiskey. Chug it!"

"FIREWHISKEY?" Lily shrieked. "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO GET FIREWHISKEY? Oh. My. God. YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!"

"Relax Lilyflower," Sirius pulled a bottle out of his bag. He started chugging it.

"Chug! Chug! Chug!" James and Remus chanted.

"Ahhhhh!" Sirius just finished a whole bottle.

"YOU- Oh my god..." Lily watched Sirius fall on the ground. James, Remus and Snape were all laughing.

"Okay... Lily... T or D?" Sirius was laughing like a madman.

"Uhm..." Lily was trying to decide.

"Come on... do a dare," James said, impatiently.

"Okay... dare," Lily held her breath waiting for Sirius to tell her something.

"Go on a date with James." James smiled at Sirius's dare. He had the best friends ever.

"I'm going to kill you, Sirius."

"You have to do it! Tonight!"

"Fine..."

"So we have to wait until after the date before Lily can give her dare." Remus smiled.

Lily was actually nervous. She didn't want to act like she loved Potter, but she didn't want to look arrogant.

"What am I supposed to wear?" Lily asked Remus.

"I don't know... James probably doesn't even own anything fancy... just wear something casual." Remus was reading in the common room and could care less about the date.

"Okay..." Lily went to her room. She tried on about seven outfits until she decided on wearing a skirt and a top. She was going to meet Potter in the common room at seven for the 'date'. The common room wasn't the most romantic place, and Lily was thankful for that. Remus and Sirius would make sure there was nobody else in the common room. She didn't dare ask how they would do that, she just wanted to steer clear of that area.

It was seven. Where was Potter? He had waited four years for this date and he didn't even show up.

"Lily," He said. He was wearing exactly what he had been wearing at the lake. She felt stupid dressing up and waited for him to make some comment about it. "You look... nice." NICE?

"Uh... so do you," She couldn't think of anything better to say.

"So... I mean, you don't have to go on a 'date' with me. We can just say we did if you want... I don't really want to force you or anything..." James was actually acting kind of sweet.

"It's fine. We can have a 'date'." James smiled at her. She smiled back. "Sit down?" He came and sat next to her. It was an awkward time. They would say something, then just sit there.

"So..."

"So." James had an adorable smile. Lily just stared at him. "What?"

"Uh... sorry... Was I staring? I do that sometimes..." Lily started babbling. The most awkward part of the whole 'date' was the fact that they had kissed a few hours ago. Sirius came to the rescue though.

"Guys! I got you some hot chocolate! How's the date?" Sirius smiled. Lily blushed and James smiled at Sirius.

"Uh... thanks Sirius..." James said.

"Oh... are you in a state of awkward? Do you just kiss again?" Sirius said, making the who situation more awkward.

"No, we didn't kiss. Yes we are in a 'state or awkward'," Lily answered, blushing even harder, if that was possible.

"Well you should try it... James is a good kisser... not that I've tried it... well that one time... I'm going to go now," Sirius smiled.

"Sorry about him," James smiled, picking up some hot chocolate.

"It's cool," Lily picked up her hot chocolate and sipped some. She had some on her mouth.

"You have a- right here," James took a napkin and cleaned her face.

"My work here is done," Sirius told Remus under the invisibility cloak.

Lily looked into James's eyes. Next thing they knew, they were kissing again.
