Haha, I almost just uploaded my Chemistry lab. How confusing would that be?

Listen to Gotta Have You, by The Weepies (:

Gotta Have You

Lily and James were both buried in homework, working peacefully in their Head's Common Room. James couldn't concentrate on anything not Lily-related; every word that he read had some relation with her. He glanced over at her. She was looking at her Charms book, biting her lip in concentration. He sighed. He knew he was not going to get any work done whatsoever.

He really had tried to see her just as a friend. He really tried to get her off her mind. He really tried to date other girls. Everything though, was not as good as Lily. He didn't know what to do anymore. The end of their last year at Hogwarts was ending; James was running out of time. He was wasting every second, every moment being just friends with Lily.

Oh, He knew they'd have contact out of Hogwarts, but not as much as he wished. Shamefully, he even tried drinking. Even then, he drunkly saw Lily everywhere. Nothing worked for him. He needed Lily.
"Lily?" James asked; he couldn't take it any longer.

"Hm?" she answered her mind elsewhere.

"Why?"

"Why what, James?" she said laughing.

"Why is it that I can't stop thinking about you?" he said, staring at her beautiful emerald eyes with such intensity Lily blushed.

"I dunno," she tried to go back to her work and avoid the subject.

"Why is it that I could date anyone else in the world, but couldn't stop comparing them to you?" Lily looked up, blushing even more now, she muttered something incoherent. "Why is it that when I'm drunk, I see a thousand Lily Evan's?"

Her heart started racing, what is he getting to? She replied though, "Maybe you shouldn't drink then."

"Oh, but I do. Why is it, even though I haven't dated anyone rubbish for two years, you still don't trust me to your boyfriend?"

I do, Lily thought; she didn't verbally reply.

"And why is it, that I've liked you for three years?"

Lily blushed again, "Because blokes like a challenge."

"Nope, it's that nothing else with do, I've gotta have you." She looked at him, looking for sincerity.

With that, he used his Gryffindor bravery. He kissed Lily Evans, the woman of his dreams. She was surprised to say the least. James had hid his feelings quite well for the majority of the year; it was slip-up's like these that Lily couldn't be sure what he was thinking.

James pulled away, and leaned his forehead on Lily's. She searched his gaze and only found happiness.

"Lily Evans, will you go out with me?"

She really had no reason not to. She liked him; he liked her. "I'm scared James," she whispered.

"Of what?"

"Falling in love with you."

He smiled that half smile that blokes could only ever do, "Would that be so horrible, Lils?"

Her heart raced, if she said no, she'd break his and her own heart. She wanted to say yes; she was just afraid of the unknown.

James's heart was also racing, if she didn't say yes this time, he didn't know if he'd ever have the courage to ask again. She wasn't saying no, but not yes either.

"One date, Lily? I promise you'll never forget it. Please?"

If she wasn't persuaded by him now, she couldn't say no now. Her heart broke when she saw James's face begin to fall when he said please.

Her face broke out into a smile, "Yes."

James looked shocked for a moment, before positively beaming. He kissed her excitedly. "Excuse me for a moment."

Still beaming, he dashed out of the Head's Common and to the direction of the seventh year Gryffindor's dormitory. He shook Sirius, Remus, Peter and Frank Longbottom up.
"What the bleeding-?"

Wassgunon?"

Sirius growled until he saw James's face full of happiness.

"She said yes!"

It was as if an explosion went off in the room. They all forgot about their warm beds and jumped up to congratulate James. Sirius tackled James, "Yeah mate! I told you it would only be in a matter of time!" James picked himself up, ran down the stairs, straight back to Lily.

She glanced at a breathless James, grinning herself. "It couldn't wait until morning to tell him?"

Instead of answering, he just kissed her. She could feel his lips smiling.

A/N: I had fun writing this one. I really suggest listening to the song; it's my favorite song of the moment. Someone give me an idea for the next chapter!
