A.N. Writing this is addictive, or maybe I'm just avoiding my revision, anyway I give you chapter three!

The World's Worst Hangover

I walked into the room, on James arm. It should've felt so wrong but for some strange reason I was pleased to be walking with James and people were watching and I liked the fact they were shocked and whispering. I knew what they were saying, they all knew that I'd hated and ignored James for years.

A light tune began to play and James whisked me off into some ridiculous dance. But… But I was having fun! Not only was I surprising everyone else but I was surprising myself too, it was so odd, but brilliant. The music changed and became slower James looked at me and mouthed 'shall we?' I blushed. But I couldn't, I just couldn't. I ran out the room, all the way towards the Gryffindor tower. I Liked James, but I didn't.

"ALICE!" I yelled running into our dorm, she looked up from her book surprised that I was back so early. "I think I've made a huge mistake, it was amazing, there was me and James and it was brilliant. I was having so much fun. And then a slow dance and I…I-"

"Turned into a stammering idiot?" she asked.

"No, I came here, I really like him, we'd been getting on so much better recently but, I don't know if this was a good idea. I don't want to be another conquest" the words simply started falling out of my mouth, I was fairly sure I was in hysterics or mad, probably mad but Alice simply told me that if I liked him I should give it a go.

I got of my bed and walked down the stairs shakily. James was waiting at the bottom; he'd obviously followed me back here.

"Hi James, I'm sorry for just now I don't know what came over me," I said taking huge breaths so that I didn't go to pieces again.

"Lily its ok, the fact that you asked me to come with you was brilliant" he said calmly taking both my hands.

"You can thank Slughorn for that" I mumbled. He smiled, continued staring into my eyes.

"You have beautiful eyes you know, and your hair, your hair is amazing. You're amazing!" he gushed, "sorry I didn't mean to say that, are things awkward now?" he asked.

"No, I don't think they are," I said with a smile. Then, I slowly stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him quickly, "now how about that slow dance?"
