Hello.

So I know I keep saying that I'll update sooner, blah blah blaaaaah.

Obviously, I haven't.

But before I go into some intense ramble, I'll let you read the actual story.

I hope you like it! c:

Lily stifled a yawn as she left her final class for the day, potions. She and Taylor were walking down the Grand Staircase when an all too familiar voice called,

"Lilyflower!"

Lily sighed, gave Taylor a look that all too clearly said 'kill me now' and slowly turned around to come face to face with James Potter.

"I told you, I don't like that nickname."

"And I told you, that I do. Besides, I thought we were friends now. And friends have nicknames for each other." James smirked as he said this.

Lily looked at him, clearly annoyed that he had a point.

"What do you want, James?"

"I wanted to know if you were planning on going to the quidditch game tomorrow."

"No, that would mean waking up early."

"Come on, pleeeease? For me?"

Lily wanted to revert back to when she would give him a snarky reply, but for one thing, she was the one who wanted to be friends with him. And for another, she liked him, and wanted to go to the game now that he wanted her to come.

"Fiiiiine."
James grinned from ear to ear before he continued on his way down the staircase.

"Well wasn't that cute." Taylor commented.

"Shut up." Lily said, a little bit of a blush filling her cheeks.

The two girls continued on to the great hall in search of food.

OOOOoooooOOOOoooo

Lily was sitting in the common room, reading a muggle book on the couch. It was fairly empty, most people were out eating dinner or hanging out. It was Friday night, after all.

Suddenly, someone was now sitting next to her. A certain someone who had untidy, black hair and brilliant hazel eyes framed with glasses. A certain someone by the name of James Potter.

James just sat there, nonchalantly.

Lily sighed, snapped her book shut, and pleasantly said,

"Hello James."

"Oh, hello Lily. Didn't see you there. How do you do on this fine evening?"
Lily giggled, and replied,

"Oh, I'm alright. Nothing too exciting, just passing the time with this book. You?"

"Just pondering the philosophical thoughts that float into my brain from time to time."

"And what are these 'philosophical thoughts' of yours?"

"Oh, you know, why on earth muggles enjoy melon flavoured candy so much, why the sky is blue, why I'm not expelled yet, but most importantly – why you kissed me back, that one night oh so many weeks ago."

As he said this, James looked over at Lily and gave a sly smile. Lily blushed.

"Uh…uh… I don't know what you're talking about, I'm afraid."

"Oh really?"

"Yes, really."

"So, are you saying that I merely dreamt that kiss? And that my friends just so happened to witness it, and that you didn't avoid me even more so for weeks afterwards? That it was all an image concocted in my brain?" James stared at Lily, expectantly. He clearly was enjoying that she was at a loss for words whilst scarlet coloured.

"…Yes… That's exactly what I'm saying…"

James laughed.

"Of course."

Lily looked over at James, wondering what exactly it was he was getting at.

"So, just out of curiosity, my dearest Lilyflower, are you saying that you wouldn't kiss me back? Or are you merely saying that the memory never happened?" As he said these words, he turned to face Lily, leaning towards her a little.

It was now that Lily realized just how close James was to her. Their legs were right up against one another, and James' face was only inches from her own. Lily felt the heat rising to her cheeks, as she incoherently uttered,

"Um…."

James grinned again, and leant closer. Lily could feel his breath on her lips. She wanted nothing more than to just close the distance and kiss him, feel his lips on hers, get lost in him.

"Um? That's all you can come up with? I have to admit, I gave you more credit than that, Lilyflower."

James laughed a little. Lily knew how stupid she must look. Her eyes were widened, her face and hair were now just one sheer colour of bright red, and she couldn't help but stare at James' lips.

Those lips were just so close to hers, it wouldn't take much to just lean a little closer and kiss him again…

James seemed to enjoy Lily's situation. He continued to just smirk at her, as he watched her struggle with her own emotions.

James also wanted nothing more than to kiss Lily in this moment, but he wanted to be able to make Lily be the one to kiss him. Just to prove even more that she liked him. If he kissed her, she could simply claim it was just that – He kissed her. If she kissed him, there was no way around it.

Lily gulped. She took a deep breath, and closed the distance between her and James.

James smiled inwardly. He successfully made her cave.

James began to deepen the kiss. It began as a shy and slow kiss, but as he deepened it, the kiss began to transform into a fast, intense, heated kiss. It was as if both of them needed each other more than anything. Lily had been wanting to do this for so long, and now all of those built up urges were spilling out in an uncontrollable snogging session.

When they broke apart due to the lack of oxygen, Lily had been pulled into James lap, her hands tangled in his hair. James hands were resting on Lily's hips, on the bare skin, just underneath her shirt.

Both of them were breathing heavily, just staring at each other.

"Wow…" breathed Lily.

"Yeah. 'Wow'." James replied, breathless.

As the two teenagers' breath began to even out a little bit, James asked,

"Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

Lily smiled as she heard those words. Those words that had haunted her every single day since third year, that she used to cringe at the sound of. Those words that used to make her yell at the boy, and continuously find new ways to reject him.

Finally, James would get the answer he wanted.

"Of course."

Lily barely finished the sentence, as James cut her off with another kiss.

LA FIN.

Okay. So now I can rant. Sorta.

Basically, I started this story when I was in grade 7. I was 12 years old. I am now in grade 10, and am 15. Looking back at the first couple chapters, I see how truly juvenile the writing is and just how awful it is. I had orignally planned for this to be the "greatest fanfiction ever", and to have tons of chapters and an intense plot line and all that fun shtuff.

However, that is not the case.

This is the final chapter in this story, I don't want to continue it, and so I wrapped up the whole James and Lily thing. I realize that there are more loose ends, but at this point I'm past caring about this story. I just didn't want to have an unfinished story, so I forced myself to write this last chapter... I'm glad I did actually. I'm pretty proud of the ending. :P

But anywhos, I hope you liked this story, and sorry for my bi polar updates. Hopefully this story has been a lesson to me, that I should not procrastinate so much and nor should I write such horrible fanfiction...

But thank you for reading, and I hope you check out my other stories! I can promise that they are much better than this one has been.

Thanks again!

And maybe, review? :P (or not...)
