Thank you to everyone who reviewed (okay there has was only one but I now have double what I had before) I have sent you a cookie telepathically. Did you get it? No? Damn.


Lily made her was out of the portrait hole. It was around 9 o'clock at night and she had to do her rounds. It was really annoying as she wanted to finish her potions essay. It was on the draught of living death and it wasn't difficult but once she started essays she didn't want to leave it. It took her a while to get into a homework "mode".

Tonight had been pretty quiet as term hadn't been being going long enough for pupils to be sneaking off to abandoned classrooms. She was bored. She was also pretty lonely. Remus felt ill and not able to do rounds so it was just her.

Her mind wandered. She came back to thinking about James. She really hated him, especially the arrogance and the snide remarks. When he asked her out it made her feel sick, would being friends make her feel any different?

Lily walked along the third floor. She wished something would happen just so she could stop being so bored. Nothing exciting would happen for a few weeks. She didn't go to quiddich matches and the Hogsmeade visits weren't until the first of October. Lily walked around a corner when…

"Arrrgggghhhhh!"

Lily had collided with something and it had called out. But she couldn't see anyone around, she looked round the corner but there was nothing there, but the voice had sounded almost familiar…

"James?" She whispered. "Is that you?"

Lily gasped as James' head appeared on the floor. Just his head. She squeezed her eyes shut, telling herself that she was just imagining thing. When she opened them it was still there. Yup, he was definitely missing some body parts.

"What are you doing and where is the rest of your body?"

"Shh! Someone's coming!" James whispered frantically, pulling something out from over him and shoving Lily behind a tapestry.

"Stop pushing me…"

"Shh!"

"What's that?" she asked.

"Invisibility cloak."

"How did you get a…"

"Shh!"

Lily was standing chest to chest with James, their hearts hammering in harmony. Echoing footsteps could be heard coming closer and closer until they stopped. Right in front of where they were hiding.

"Where are they my sweet, those noisy trouble makers, don't worry, we'll find them my sweet."

James' blood went cold, Filch. He took any excuse to punish him, he had whips ready in his office for the day Dumbledore agreed.

A cat meowed, mere meters from where they hid.

"What's that my sweet, are they in there?"

James grabbed the cloak and threw it over the two of them, seconds before Filch pulled back the curtain and stared up the dark passage way. Lily could have sworn Mrs Norris' yellow eyes was looking at there terrified faces.

Slowly, Filch grunted and retreated back to wherever he came from. James pulled the cloak off of them and Lily breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank god he's…"

"Shh! He might not be gone."

"James he obviously is…"

"Shh!"

"Ja…"

Lily was silenced as James' lips came crushing onto hers. Her mind was blank, and her body was numb. Is James kissing her? She would just have to push him away. But she didn't. Her hands locked around his neck and she was pulling him closer instead. His lips were soft and his breath was so sweet that it sent shivers down her spine. One of his hands tangled her hair whilst the other yanked her waist closer to him. Lily was finding it hard to think. Everything was James, there could be nothing more than this.

James could feel heat radiating from her body. He used his tongue to open her mouth and she reacted, fiercely. She wasn't trying to be careful and he was glad. Lily moaned as he pushed her against a wall and started nibbling her earlobe. He found it hard to think, totally fatigued by Lily's closeness. His mouth kissed her jaw, her neck, her collarbone.

Lily gasped. Where had learned to kiss like that? She didn't care. She couldn't stand it anymore so brought his mouth back to hers. Their limbs were tangled but she discovered she had her legs round his waist. She never wanted it to end.

Suddenly James went still. He set her down and looked at her. Was that regret in his eyes? What was going on?

He picked up his cloak and started to walk away. Lily was confused. It was him that started it.

"James," Lily called after him.

He turned round to face her, an unexpected sadness seemed to claim his face. "I have to go," he whispered before disappearing behind the tapestry.
