I randomly decided to write another chapter for this as requested by Lumosify because her review made me laugh and I thought, why not. Quite rushed and I never think my writing's very good so apologies in advance, I just like to write :) Enjoy!

After being friends with Marlene McKinnon for over six years now you'd think I'd recognise a set up when I saw it. But I, Lily Evans, am an absolute idiot.

"Marlene would you please let me out? Please… Are you even there!?" Silence. I wish I knew why she'd locked me in this stupid room. I don't even know what she's done to the door; I Alohamora'd until I was blue in the face. I should of known really; she doesn't even care about Charms, why would she need to drag me to an empty classroom to "practice." What a witch.

Wait.

The door's opening!

HALLELUJAH!

"Lily?"

Oh fuck.

Forget hallelujah, I'm not even religious.

"Lily why are you on the floor? And why was I dragged here by your demented mate?"

His hair looked nice today.

"James… I… why?" I croaked out. Literally croaked. What is wrong with me?

"Why what?" Ah, there's the lovely eyebrow raise, the eyebrows that started this whole mess.

"Why are you here? What's Marlene done now? I'm sorry in advance" He laughed at that, he has a nice laugh as well as nice hair.

"What hasn't she done? She kind of ambushed me in my dorm, she told me that you needed my help with Transfiguration and that you'd been reduced to hiding in an empty classroom, which I see she wasn't actually lying about?" That bitch. I'll kill her. Actually kill her.

"She locked me in here! I'm so sorry James I don't know what she's on about, I'm sorry she ambushed you, she's rubbish really, you can go back to your dorm and forget all about this, you know I'm barking mad and where do you think I got that from? Sharing a room with that weirdo is where." I then laughed manically, because James wasn't scared enough for my sanity.

"So you don't need help with Transfiguration?" Bugger. How is that all he got from that?

"Well actually, I kind of do. McGonagall's big test is next week and well, I'm shit. Basically."

"You're not shit Lily, maybe a bit bonkers and a classic avoider, but not shit" Aw he looked so… wait a minute. Excuse me James Potter but I am not an avoider, he has no bloody idea how many times I've had to confront the memories from the Halloween party! In my head of course, but still, confronted nonetheless. I should probably say something rather than just staring at him…

"Excuse me?! Avoider? How absurd!" I spluttered

"Oh really? Shall we discuss Halloween then? Like I've been wanting to for weeks?"

"You should have just asked" I sniffed, picking lint of my robes, really my robes do attract abnormal amounts of lint, there must be a spell for that.

"Lily, I've tried to talk to you about it loads of times and every time I tried you curiously disappeared or had to be somewhere" Ohh he looked a bit pissed off now.

"They were all legitimate reasons I'll have you know!"

"So you just had to had to talk to Sir Headless Nick about his deathday song at dinner the other day"

"Yes"

"And what about that time you told me Marlene was critically ill and practically dead and you just had to take those chocolate frogs to her"

"How was I supposed to know it was just a cold? It was very touch and go for a while…"

"So you'll just talk to me now? Seeing as you have nowhere to be and need my help?" Ah shit, he looks so hopeful and I really have run out of excuses, plus I really couldn't listen to Sir Headless Nick prattle on about the state of his neck ever again.

"I don't see what there's to talk about, but fine"

"We kissed."

"I suppose we did" Why did I feel so shifty? I'm actually twitching. Attractive.

"And you like me"

"I suppose- wait I've never said that."

"No, but Marlene told me-"

"Never believe anything that witch says! She told me she was dying and look how that turned out-"

"AND you kissed me back. And you've been avoiding me ever since. And you like me Lily Evans, just admit it" Was he closer than he'd been before? How did he get so close? The air's getting thin… "And whenever I get close to you, you blush" oh Merlin now he's stroking my cheek, he has such soft hands, his face is getting closer… is he leaning in or am I?

"And" he whispered against my lips "I know you want to kiss me again"

He's right.

And I did just that, this time it was me who made the last move and kind of, er… lunged at him pulling his lips down to mine. School ties are a great invention, they gave me just the right amount of leverage to pull James lips on to mine, for quite a while… Oh god, Marlene's turned me into a slag, I'm going to have to join her slag club.

Just as I was thinking about Marlene's slag club, James' kisses reached my neck (which would no doubt lead to a scarf tied tightly around my neck the next day) and I decided I could be president of the club if it meant kisses like this.

And I've barely even noticed his eyebrows! Maybe I'm cured?
