I love this chapter. It's really cute.

Lily's POV !

As I left the bathroom my body was still in complete shock. I never knew James was this nice, this fun, this cute. I shook my head. No. I couldn't possibly like him, not James Potter. The boy who is always getting himself into trouble, can be immature—but he didn't seem immature at all today. Has he changed? Does he like me to or was he just being a supportive friend.

Snap of it Lily! I needed to get some air. I stepped out of Hogshead into the pouring rain. The pitter-patter helped me concentrate more. I sighed.

Did he really think I was one of the best wizards he knew? Am I actually thinking about him?

I replayed the previous event with him in my mind, always pausing whenever our eyes met. What is wrong with me?! This is the same guy who obnoxiously kept asking me out for the past few years and now I'm falling for him?!? Wait. Did I just admit I'm falling for him? Oh my god. I think I have a crush on him!

My body was soaked from the rain but I couldn't go back in there. What if he was in there.

"Lily? Why are you standing in the rain?"

I turned around to find Sirius standing in the doorway. "Oh, err, I like the rain." I said, I couldn't tell him the truth.

"Oh, well have you seen James, I thought he was with you?" He asked. I could tell he was really bored.

"Um I don't know." I answered. Sirius flew back open the door and ran right into James. "Ouch! Man, where were you?" He asked as he rubbed his banged head. James was rubbing his too. "Ouch. I was talking to Lily."

My heart fluttered. James! "Oh, hey James." I greeted. He smiled a little then returned to Sirius. "I hafta tell you how it went." And Sirius followed him back in.

I stood there confused. Was that a sign that he liked me? Or not? Ugh, boys are so confusing. Moments later Sirius came out again, this time he looked less cheerful and more angry.

"Hey Sirius." I said as he walked past me. He turned around and his eyes narrowed at me. "Oh my god Lily. For the smartest which in our school you can really be such a dumb ass!"

My eyes widened in shock, "What?"

"James has been crushing on you for such a long time, and he practically threw himself at you and you called him a friend. And don't deny that you don't like him too, I know you do. Everyone knows that you to like each other but you and James. Why can;t you guys just get together?" He ranted. I stared at him in complete shock. James likes me?

"So why don't you just go tell him how you really feel before I effing lose my mind!" He yelled.

"Okay."I agreed staying calm. "Wait, what?" He looked at me in shock.

"I'll do it." I decided. Sirius smiled and walked away, I stared after him. I'm going to tell James how I really feel. I'm going to tell him now.

I walked into the Hogshead and spotted James sitting alone.

"James I need to talk to you." I told him. "Okay" He smiled.

"Ooooh! Lily and James need to talk!" Cried a Slytherin named Penelope. I ignored her and took James by the hand and pulled him outside.

"James, I'm sorry." I started. He stared at me confused. "I'm really sorry for the way I've been acting, and I wanted to let you know." I took a deep breath. "I like you James, I like you a lot." I finished and I looked into his light blue eyes.

He was silent for a moment, the silence made me nervous.

"Lily," He ended the silence, my heart wa beating so fast.

"I have been waiting for you to say that for a long time."

I felt his arms wrapped around me and I wrapped mine around his his neck, pulling him closer to my lips. I felt them touch lightly, but it was the best sensation I had ever felt in my whole life.I felt as though it was an eternal fire. Something I have never felt in all the other boys I've dated. And I loved it and wanted more of it.

We finally stop we warm embrace when we heard people leaving to head back to school. His hand holding mine, we set off back to Hogwarts feeling as though nothing could stop us, nothing could keep us apart. It was the best feeling in the world, to be with James Potter.
