A/N: Chapter 4: Mistletoe
For the rest of the day Lily was in a foul mood. When night finally came she eagerly made her way to her dorm and found it warm and satisfyingly iceless.
The next day she was in considerably better spirits. Her and Mary had found a book in the library in which the ink had run, and a sixth of the words were incomprehensible. They were filling in the blanks with words of their own and laughing at the ridiculousness of it.
It was when they let out a particularly loud burst of laughter, that Madame Pince appeared, telling them to be quiet. When she saw the book, that the girls had violated with there own scratched in ink, she began yelling.
"Out! Out! How dare you scribble carelessly in one of these precious books! I expected more from you Miss MacDonald, and especially you Miss Evans! A disgrace! Out!" They quickly grabbed their bags and raced out, not stopping until they had turned a corner.
Lily doubled over, panting and laughing, and leaned against the wall while Mary had collapsed into a fit of giggled wheezes on the floor.
"I can't believe she actually kicked us out," Lily panted.
"Her face, it was priceless." Mary giggled.
"Just wait till she reads it!" They dissolved into another gale of laughter.
"Uh... hi." The voice halted the girl's giggles. They looked up to see the four Marauders standing a few feet away.
Remus was trying hard to repress a smile, Sirius was smirking, James had a dumbfounded expression on, and Peter was peeking timidly over their shoulders.
Lily straightened up immediately, her nose tilting up subconsciously. She smoothed her robes then held out her hand to help Mary up.
A moment of awkward silence hung between the six students till Lily finally broke it.
"Come Mary, it's time for us to go." she still hadn't forgiven Potter for what he had done to her dorm room.
The two girls turned and set a brisk pace away from the boys.
"Lily wait," Potter called after but she ignored him, until he caught her shoulder and spun her around.
"What do you want Potter."
"I just-" he was cut off by Sirius' snicker. James followed his gaze to the mistletoe that hung from the doorway above them. Lily also looked up and growled, then turned to leave but found she couldn't move.
"You're going to have to kiss him Evans." Sirius smirked.
"Shut it Black."
"He's right, It won't let us go till we kiss."
"Potter, there is no bloody way I'm-" She was cut off by his lips pressing against her's.
