Chapter Six: Sixth Year

XXX

Having James Potter sit behind me has to be way more aggravating than having him sit next to me, thought Lily Evans as she sat through yet another agonizing Charms class.

James rested his feet against the bottom bar of her chair, shaking his legs and constantly pushing her too close to her desk. Being that it was indeed James Potter, Lily quickly became annoyed. She debated the level of immaturity required to get back at him at that current moment, for she wanted very badly to shove her chair into his knees. Through caution to the wind she thought, What the hell? and smirked.

She braced her feet and jerked her body back with her hands firmly gripped on her seat. "Ow!" muttered James, rubbing his knees and shins, "That's going to bruise, Evans." Professor Flitwick was far too distracted giving his lesson to notice the slight disturbance. Lily gave no indication that she had any intention of releasing her chair forward.

"It's on," whispered James loudly. Remus Lupin sighed audibly beside Lily. These two, he thought. They had been bantering and flirting since Christmas last year. Something changed in their dynamics, he noticed, but for some reason Lily still flat out refused Prongs.

James urged his long legs straighter and Lily dug her feet in. It was Tug-of-War: Classroom Edition. However, the smooth linoleum floor of the classroom paired with the smooth rubber on the soles of Lily's shoe offered no friction. She felt herself slipping farther forward, but she could not let James win this petty game, because she just knew he had that horrid smirk on his face behind her.

They played at it for a good five to ten minutes before Lily had a lightbulb go off in her brain. She simply lifted her chair, forcing James off balance. He flew forward, his chair sliding out from under him, as Lily clanked her chair back down on the ground loudly.

Professor Flitwick stopped dead. "Mr. Potter," he snapped, "back of the classroom." He motioned with his wand to an empty desk in the very back. James stood from his rear-end landing, gather his things, and gloomily sulked away.

At the end of class, Lily passed him complaining to Sirius while exiting the classroom. "Looks like I win," she said proudly and somewhat flirty as she sashayed past.

James glanced at her ass moving under her skirt as she walked and smirked, "For now."

Remus hit the back of his head with a notebook, saying, "Watch yourself, Potter. People are watching."

author's note:tbh I don't even know if linoleum floors were a thing at Hogwarts but for the sake of this story, let's just pretend they are. anyway this is based on a real life scene that happened to me in like 7th grade and i just thought it'd be fun to keep it. ahhh memories. enjoy! & review. please. -lia
