As It Was and You Were
Chapter Five
Pick Your Feet Up and Walk
Lily wiped the substance out of her eyes and flicked off her hand. James was on the ground spitting it out as his mouth had been open when it exploded. God knows why; normally when a potion explodes you curl up into the foetal position. Well I would.
"JAMES YOU PUCKING, IMBECILIC, TOOMFOOLERY LOVING, PRICK-FACED BITCH!"
"That's a colourful array of words you have there Miss Evans. But I wish you to retire from this classroom, to your dormitory and see me later tonight at eight o'clock. As for James he will be doing the exact same thing, except I will be speaking to him directly tonight in French and he will reply to me in French with a Russian accent,"
Lily forgot herself for a moment and shot James a 'what-the-puck?' look. She then remembered that she was supposed to be angry at him and returned to her angry demeanour. "Yes sir. Sorry sir," she gathered her things and stomped out the room to the common room.
"Sorry sir won't happen again. Nous irons faire haut cinq plus tard,"
"Bonne chance James. Embrassez-la insensé. Aucun sexe à cet âge s'il vous plait,"
"Oui monsieur. Merci monsieur," James grinned. He ran out of the room to catch up with Lily. "Lis! Lis! Attendez-moi s'il vous plaît!"
"What?"
"Oh err… sorry. Please don't run away," There was a bright flash of light and Lily and James both yelled loudly in pain. A force surging round the room bowled them over.
"What was that? It hurt," Lily was lying on the ground blinking rapidly.
"I have no idea. But I can't see very well at all that's for sure," James managed to stand up and gain a small amount of vision so that he could see Lily lying on the ground. He extended his arm to help her up. Now this is the turning point in this story and just like on television I'm going to turn your attention to a useless range of products for the next three minutes.
…
…
…
Yes. Back to where we were.
James had extended his hand to help Lily to her feet. Lily accepted the offer and she was raised quickly to her feet and she fell forward onto James squashing herself into his muscular chest. She looked cautiously up into his hazel eyes which had taken on a glazed look and were hypnotizing her, and she couldn't look away.
His eyes. I've never seen them like this before. They're just so beautiful. He really is quite… attractive.
Lily is so beautiful. I know I'm in love with this girl. There's something in there that only she can share with me. I just know it
Lily closed her eyes. Breathing him in. Sensing him. Feeling him. "James. We should go up to the room. I have to get rid of this stuff,"
"No don't move. Please,"
"What did you say?" Lily jerked out of her trance.
"What? I didn't say anything. What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything! It was you. What did you say?"
"Ah. Never mind, moment's gone. We should get upstairs. I need to shower. Badly," James waited. "Uh Lily. You can let go of my arm now,"
"Well yes. I will, as soon as you take your hands of my waist,"
"I'm trying. They won't move!"
"Well I'm trying too! They're not coming off your arms,"
"OK. Hang on a minute. Logical thinking," James bit his lip in thought.
Puck I'd like to bite that lip for him.
"Alright. So we were just doused in potion that went wrong I'm guessing that's the problem here. It doesn't let us take our hands of each other,"
"I think it also makes us have unwanted thoughts,"
"What makes you say that?"
"Well a few seconds ago I just had the biggest urge to bite your lip," James raised an eyebrow. "Oh come on. You can't tell me looking at me doesn't want to make you have sex,"
"I'm seventeen Lily. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex,"
"Fair point. But right now we need to go to our room,"
"You do realise how suspect that sounded?"
"Yes I do. Let's go," They both turned to start walking. They got pulled back. Ok after we've untangled our hands we'll go," A moment of struggling ensued. They then set off for their room.
…
…
…
"James?"
"Yes?"
"Please remove your hand from my arse,"
"Sorry,"

The journey to the common room was rather difficult. They hid round a corner whenever anyone would pass in the halls. And they kept getting stuck on some staircases. They arrived in the common room weak with the effort.
"I'm just going to sit here and rest for a second,"
"Good idea. Just… for a… second," They both collapsed on the couch and sighed contentedly, joined at the hands. They sat there for a minute before Lily decided she needed to roll over. She had forgotten their hands were attached and as she tried to roll away from James she was jerked back into him.
"James? There's a slight problem," Lily grimaced painfully.
"What would that be?" James mumbled his eyes still closed.
"Our hands are joined together and I need a shower and a rest," James was suddenly awake.
"Right you are. Problem solving time," he looked pensive for a few seconds. Then a look of mischief dawned on his handsome face. He grinned. "Y'know Lily. We could just shower together,"
"You are disgusting James Potter! You are the lowest scum of scummy human beings!"
"Alright then. Relax. I was joking,"
"You don't joke about that kind of thing it's DISGUSTING! YOU SICKEN ME! YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP JAMES!"
"OK, OK. I'm sorry,"
"WELL SORRY DOESN'T CUT IT I'M AFRAID!"
"Lily what are you doing? I'm sorry! Lily please! No put down the heavy object! No! That does not mean that you can pick up that axe! No really stop, I'm sorry!"
"Alright then," Lily calmly threw the axe away. She proceeded to smile. "Now that's a joke," She began to laugh.
I seriously can't believe how wonderful she is. She just made a joke. And I fell for it! I love her so much.
James punched her playfully with his free arm. She swatted him on the arm in return. Their hands got caught on each other. They stopped laughing and they grew silent. They had gotten closer.
Their eyes met and at that point these two couldn't go back. This was it. The point of no return. There was fire behind each of their gazes and in only a few seconds they recognized it. Their lips met in a fit of passion. Their hands were no loner bonded to the others body. James' were now at Lily's waist. Hers, in his hair. The showers planned forgotten. The rests planned left their mind. They had completely succumbed to each other, dropped all their defences. Now they were there. No second thoughts…
Should I go on? I think not. This rendezvous continued for the next hour when both realized what they had done.
Thankyou to all the people who have reviewed so far. Although It's not many... thankyou. I did two updates today. Are you pleased?
