A/N: Finally- I was able to write a first kiss for Lily and James. I know I've been promising this since Chapter 1, and this little idea popped into my head just in time for Chapter 10!
In the timeline of my headcanon, this would mean that James did in fact get there first (I'm sorry guys...) This happens just after they return to Hogwarts for their fourth year, while her kiss with Sev happens later that winter. I'm sure she told him about this and he was more than a little jealous. Also, I can't quite decide if this is Lily's first kiss ever...I figured that it probably is, since she doesn't seem like the type to be handing out kisses like candy, but i don't know. You decide!
Also, huge thanks to everyone who has read/reviewed/followed/favorited! There will be more to come, so keep it up!
First of Many
In this moment, Lily was thoroughly regretting every decision that had led up to it. Why, she berated herself, had she let Mary talk her into playing spin the bottle? Deep down, she had known that it couldn't lead to anything good—not with Potter and his gang playing. Mary had decided that it would be a fun way for the Gryffindor fourth years to "reacquaint" after the long summer. Really, Lily knew, she was just trying to get a kiss out of Sirius. She had been suffering from a highly disgusting crush on him for quite a while now.
And it was thanks to Mary that Lily was now glaring daggers at none other than James Potter, who had just spun the empty butterbeer bottle. Of course the evil thing had picked her, rather than one of the swooning girls on either side.
"Ooh, lucky Lily!" Alice called, quickly shrinking back at the glare that had now been redirected to her.
"Come on, Evans," James said, trying to be suave, and obviously quite pleased with himself. "I've been waiting for this for way too long…and who knows, you might even like it!"
"I doubt that," Lily retorted, crossing her arms. "And this is absolutely ridiculous!"
"What, are you chicken?" Sirius taunted.
"You agreed to play, Lily, and those are the rules," even Remus looked amused.
Lily felt her face grow hot in a combination of temper and embarrassment. "Fine!" She spat, standing up and taking two quick steps over to where James Potter was lounging on the floor. Before he had a chance to react, or even realize what she was doing, she bent down and kissed him. She held it for five seconds, as was the bloody rule, before breaking away.
Most girls who kiss Potter come away looking giddy, almost unable to keep their balance. Lily Evans, however, looked even angrier than before; those watching could almost see the sparks flying.
"You happy now?" She huffed, before stomping up to the girl's dormitory. There was the distant slaming door, and then a few seconds of silence.
"Well mate," Sirius looked over to James. "I think she liked it. Why else would she be so upset?"
