Chapter 3-Two Heads are better than one!

Lily woke up the next morning smiling. She had told Mya and Freya how she felt about James. Phew. She was glad that she'd got that off her chest. She sat up and suddenly stopped smiling as a cascade of freezing water fell on her unsuspecting head.

"MYA!" Lily screamed "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" the only answer that she got was Mya's cackling laugh from the other side of the room. Then Freya ran through from the bathroom.

"Oh Mi, you didn't actually..." her voice trailed off as she caught sight of a very wet Lily.

"Yes, she did." said Lily shortly. She glared at Mya.

"Oh sorry Lils" said Mya, now looking guilty. She waved her wand and dried Lily off. "Sorry Lily I just couldn't resist!"

Lily sighed in a defeated manner, and clambered out of bed "Well at least you dried me..." she said smiling a little too sweetly to look innocent.

Mya looked relieved and said "I'm glad you aren't angr-" she was cut off as Lily muttered a spell and shot water out of her wand. Mya was soaked. Drenched and spluttering, she looked at Lily in shock.

"You're gonna pay for that!"

Lily sprinted down the stairs, still in her grey pajama bottoms, and black strappy top. She was laughing all the way down the stairs, until she bumped into someone and almost fell. She had reached the common room, as she fell she clutched at the arm of the person she had bumped into, and managed to pull herself up. Then she felt faint again, for she was being held up by none other than James Potter.

"You should really look where you're going more often Lily!" he said smirking, "You could cause someone injury."

Lily looked up at him. Why was she stood here, alone with James, not doing anything? James seemed to also think this, and decided to remedy it by... kissing her. He lowered his head and softly pressed his lips to hers. She gasped and did the one thing that seemed appropriate, kissed him back. She snaked her arms around his neck, then ran them through his hair, it was surprisingly soft. She kept kissing him, although now it was more passionate. James ground his lips against hers, slipping his tongue into her mouth, seeking her feelings for him. Eventually the two Head students broke apart. They were both puffy lipped and breathless. James stroked her hair gently and said

"Lily, what happened to hating me?"

"Oh" she smiled suggestively "I guess you just, grew up. That's all"

"That's all huh?" he smirked, "We're more alike then we seem aren't we?"

"I don't know what you mean." she replied, tossing her hair

"Well, we're both popular, good looking..."

"Too big headed for anybody's good?" Lily put in, although she was smiling.

James laughed "And we both have amazing senses of humour!"

"Whatever," said Lily turning away.

"No you don't!" said James kissing her again, "You're not getting away this time!"

"Oh yeah?" said Lily, she pecked him on the cheek and ran away, across the common room, James leapt after her and then froze as Sirius' voice broke the air

"Morning lovebirds"

James thought fast, he had to think up a reason, for his chasing Lily around the room, then he had an idea. Pretending he hadn't heard Sirius, he yelled

"Give me that letter NOW Lily!" he winked, hoping that Lily would realise what he was doing. She did.

"Nope! I don't think I will!" she giggled, sprinting back up the girls' staircase.

"DAMN!" swore James, he thought briefly about what a great actor he was before whirling to Sirius, "That girl! She always nicks my mail!"

Sirius looked amused,

"You prank her too, Prongs, you deserve it!"

James breathed an inward sigh of relief, Sirius had bought his story.

Meanwhile, back in the girls' dormitory, Lily had grabbed her uniform and ran into the bathroom to get dressed. She was in a state of euphoria, she had kissed James! What was between them now. Did James consider her his girlfriend now? Or was he just playing with her? She'd find out later, when she and James had to find the Heads common room and rooms. They wouldn't have anyone with them then.

Later that afternoon, during one of their free periods, James and Lily went to find the famous Heads' quarters.

They were almost there when James slipped his arm around Lily's waist. She leant against him contentedly. She looked up, surprised, when the Headmaster's voice broke the air.

"Does Miss Evans need holding up Mister Potter?" Dumbledore twinkled over his half moon spectacles.

"Oh!" James was searching for an excuse "Yes Sir."

"Why" smiled Dumbledore.

"Well, she fell down the stairs on the was here, and her ankle was a bit sore so I was helping her walk..."

"But, you know, it feels MUCH better now!" said Lily, perfectly aware that they were not convincing the Headmaster. She slipped away from James, limping on her right foot. James was having trouble not laughing.

Dumbledore said "Well Miss Evans, I would prefer it if you didn't damage yourself falling down stairs. Two Heads are better than one. I don't think Mister Potter would appreciate being Head student on his own, if you hurt yourself."

"I won't hurt myself, don't worry."

"Well I only came to tell you the password. It's Salamander," Dumbledore inclined his head and left. James walked up to the statue that hid the entrance. It was a delicate statue of a unicorn, it was made of a silvery grey stone. Its head turned to them and said in a musical voice

"Password?"

"Salamander!" said James confidently.

The unicorn inclined its head gracefully and said, "That is correct. My name is Ira, I am at your service." with that the statue reared, and under the arch of its front legs there appeared a polished oak door.

When Lily opened the door she gasped with pleasure. It was a small round room. Decorated with the Gryffindor colours, there were two desks with new quills and ink, a squashy sofa for two, a table with a couple of books, and a fireplace with a roaring fire. There were also two doors that lead to their rooms. Lily opened one of the doors and found a beautiful room. It was decorated in minty green and white. The floor was oak, with a white fluffy rug by the bed which had mint green covers with tiny daisies on it. Her trunk was at the end of the bed, and there was also a dressing table and mirror, and a wardrobe. It was so simple but so pretty! Just how she liked it!

She ran through to the other room, which was exactly the same as hers, except it was pale blue, with snitches instead of daisies. Also, the dressing table had been replaced by a small table and a tiny broom cupboard made for one or two brooms. James turned to Lily, grinning like a madman. He led her back through to the sofa, in their common room. He sat down and looked deep into her eyes, she looked back. He took a deep breath and said,

"Lily, will you go out with me?"

She smiled and kissed him, "Yes, I think I will!"

He grinned again, stood up and did a victory dance around the sofa. Lily laughed and joined in. James caught her up in his arms and pushed her against the wall, kissing her, running his hands through her hair, enjoying the thrill that he got from her. They stayed there, kissing, and having mini conversations between kissing sessions, for about half an hour. Then James murmured,

"What are we going to tell the others?"

"Oh, don't tell them, yet!" squealed Lily, "Let them think that we aren't going out with each other or anything, it'll be funny"

"Ok then," laughed James, "By the way," he added conversationally, "We may have to stay here for a while"

"Why?"

"Oh, cause we'll look really lip-bruised after that, you certainly do! You know what Mi looks like after a make out session with Padfoot!"

"OH! Good point!" Lily said, giggling, "They really would notice then! Is that what I look like?"

"Yep! Y'know, you're a really different person when you get to know you!"

"Really James, how?"

"Well, you aren't all uptight and strict when you get to know you. You're much more of a giggler!" James slid his hands underneath her rumpled shirt, and tickled her stomach. Lily squealed with mirth, and tried to wriggle away from James, but her efforts were to no avail. Eventually they collapsed, exhausted onto the sofa.

"James" Lily murmured,

"Mmmm"

"Since when were you like this?"

James looked into her emerald eyes, "I always have been like this Lily. I guess I just never showed it"

Completely forgetting about dinner, which they had missed anyhow, they exchanged a goodnight kiss, and went into their assigned bedrooms, to sleep.

So, they aren't telling anyone yet...

Will the others find out?

Review, and I'll update, and you can find out!

Remember, no update until I've had reviews!
