'Hurry up Lily-bean!' James laughed, and glanced over his shoulder. He saw the redhead, dragging her feet, and looking at the ground. 'Is it that horrible, being with me?'

Lily bit her lip, and looked up, 'Well...'

'Never mind,' Laughing, James grabbed her hand, 'I know the answer to that!'

Furrowing her brow, 'Am I really that mean to you?'

'Mean? No.' James stopped by a carriage and glanced in, 'Hey, this one is practically empty!' He opened the door, and nodded at whoever was sitting inside. 'Watch your step, Lil's.' James held out his hand, and helped her in.

'Alice! Hey,' Lily looked at her friend and smiled, 'Frank.' She said with a nod.' Raising her brows at her friend, she grinned.

James climbed in behind her, and sat down. Stretching an arm out, he grinned at Frank, 'Frankie!' The boys grinned at each other.

'Hey, James. Lily. I didn't think you were gonna actually go through with it.' Frank grinned, and linked fingers with Alice.

Smiling into her hair, Lily looked at James, 'Yeah. Me neither. But when it comes to Quidditch; well, can't risk anything!''

'Don't let her lie to you! My charm won out in the end.' James laughed, when Lily poked him in the stomach. 'Ouch!'

The carriage pulled to a slow start, and the boys talked Quidditch. Lily leaned closer to Alice, 'Frank?' She asked, raising a brow.

Alice giggled, and blushed. 'Well you know I've always fancied him,' she said, in a whisper.

Lily swatted James fingers away; they had strayed to her hair and were fingering the ends. She shot him an irritated look, 'James. Hands to yourself!'

Holding his hands up in a peace gesture, he grinned at Frank, 'Women.'

'What a sexist remark!' Lily sat up, and glared at the boy next to her. 'How does that comment even make sense?'

'Whoa, Lily-bean! I didn't mean to insu-'

'Don't 'Lily-bean' me!' Lily glared at him, her cheeks flushing with anger, 'How is me, not wanting you to touch my hair, mean you have the right to make such a sexist comment about women?'

James sat back, and crossed an ankle on his knees. Smiling slightly, he looked at her, 'You know, your eyes flash when you're mad.' He chuckled to himself, 'It's very flattering to your skin. I don't know why, but it's so...'

'Don't you dare, finish that sentence!' Lily sat back, and crossed her arms.

Clearing his throat, Frank looked at Alice, 'So. The Three Broomsticks.. or Hogshead?'

x-X-x

Lily sat across from James at the Three Broomsticks. Lips pursed, she tapped her fingers against her frosted glass, 'So what? We fight, and now you won't talk to me.'

Smiling, James took a drink of from his glass, 'So now you want me to talk to you.' He raised an eyebrow.

Sighing, Lily looked at him, 'I don't know. I mean, you're annoying. And talk mostly about yourself. But,' Lily sighed, and cocked her head to the left, 'It's strange.'

'What is?' James sat forward, and looked into her eyes. 'You know your eyes. They are the most, peculiar shade of green. Almost like.. a piece of moss, on the side of a tree.'

'My eyes remind you of moss?' Lily laughed, lightly. She put her elbows on the table, and rested her chin in her hands.

'Yup, I like them.'

'Thanks?' Lily wrinkled her nose and looked at the boy across from him.

James laughed, and grinned at her, 'You're welcome.' The doors opened, and laughter came in with a group of Slytherins. James narrowed his eyes, and smirked towards them, 'Snivellus! Good to see you getting some sun. Maybe it'll help your pasty complexion.'

Lily gasped, and opened her mouth, but Snape spoke before she had the chance to: 'Don't you dare to speak to me, Potter!' Snape spit at him. Then glancing between the two, Snape curled his lip, 'Spending time with a mudblood, I see. Big of you.' The Slytherins laughed, and James jumped to his feet.

Grabbing him by the front of his robes, James hauled Snape up to his toes, 'Don't you dare talk to her that way!' James pulled his wand out of his pocket, and pointed it at Snapes throat, 'Apologize. Now!'

'James!' Lily had her hand on his arm. James turned his head, and looked at her. His eyes were a deep shade of brown. Darker then she'd ever seen. 'James.' She whispered, 'He's not worth it. James, please!' She tugged on his arm, until he released her former friend.

Snarling, James leaned close, 'You are so lucky Lily is a better person then me.' Pushing him away, James stalked towards the exit.

Snape stepped towards Lily, 'I- I'm sorry.'

'Don't bother!' Lily glared at him, and ran after James. 'Wait!' She pushed out the door, and looked both ways. She saw him down the street, looking in the windows of Zonkos. 'James!' She hollered, and walked towards him.

James looked back towards the Three Broomsticks, and frowned. Stepping towards her, James grimaced, 'Lil's. I'm so sorry!' He shook his head, 'I don't know what got into me. But.. he shouldn't have called you that!' He frowned, and kicked at the ground, 'I shouldn't have just left you there. Merlin. I'm sorry.'

'James. Stop.' Lily laid a hand on his arm, and stepped closer, 'I get it. You were mad. You left. It's good that you did.' Licking her lips, Lily looked up at him, her eyes wide. 'If you would have stayed, something more would have happened. And I-' She stopped, and bit her lip.

'What, Lil's? You, what...?' James looked at her. The wind started up, and blew her hair in her face. Slowly, James reached a hand up, and tucked a strand behind her ear. His fingers stayed on her cheek a few seconds longer.

'Uhm.' Lily cleared her throat, 'I.. uh.. don't want you.. to get hurt.'

James raised a brow, and laughed softly, 'Do you really think Snivellus could have hurt me?'

Lily looked at him, blushing slightly, 'Yes. No. I mean.' Lily shook her head, and stepped back, 'I can't think right, when your that close.' She sighed and pushed her hair back, glancing over her shoulder, 'Come on. Let's go to Zonkos!'

x-X-x

Lily and James sat with a group of loud Ravenclaws fourth years on their way back to the castle. Lily spent most of the ride looking out the window, and casually glancing at the boy next to her. James sat, reclining on the bench seat. One ankle propped on the other knee, eyes closed. His hands folded.

'If you wanted to be creepy, find a bush.' James said, laughter evident in his tone.

Lily laughed, and smacked his arm, 'Oh hush up! I wasn't trying to creep!'

'Oh yeah?' James laughed, and opened an eye. Looking at her, 'What were you trying to do then?'

'Nothing. I was just.. looking out your window.' Lily smiled at him, 'Your view's different than mine!'

'Uh-huh. Sure.' James closed his eyes again, smiling to himself, 'Let me know, if you find anything.. you like.'

Snorting, Lily looked at him, 'You are so full of yourself!'

'You like me.' James laughed. Rolling his head, he looked at her, 'Lily, I really like you. I know I can be a pompous ass a lot of the time.. but..' He laughed, and shook his head, 'Never mind.'

Biting her lip, Lily looked at him. How had she never noticed how cute he was? Oh Merlin! Lily groaned to herself, Am I really thinking about James Potter that way? She shook her head, and looked at the boy next to her, 'James.. I-' She paused and shook her head, 'Never mind.'

Turning she looked out the window, she saw that they had pulled up to the castle. Breathing deeply, she scooted over the seat. The Ravenclaws climbed out, laughing, leaving James and Lily alone. She bumped his shoulder with hers, 'You know, you have to climb out so I can.'

Laughing, James grabbed her hand, 'What if I don't want to you to leave yet?'

Blushing Lily gave a nervous laugh. 'Uhm.. we can't just stay.. here?' She wrinkled her nose, and laughed.

Reaching out, James laid a finger on her nose, 'It's cute.. when you scrunch that.' He smiled at her, 'I also enjoy, watching you turn that delicate shade of.. pink?'

'Oh, shut up!' Lily laughed, and smacked his arm. She pushed him out the carriage and smiled.

Offering his hand, James helped her down, and smiled at her. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, James leaned towards her. 'Lily Evans, would you consider.. going out with me. Again?' He looked at her, his eyes darkening, 'Without me having to blackmail you this time?'

Biting her lip, Lily smiled at him, 'Uhm.. I think.. yeah.' She grinned at him, 'I think I'd like that.'

'Really?' James asked.

Lily laughed, 'You look shocked.'

'Uh...' James trailed off. And Lily smiled; standing on tiptoes she leaned towards him and kissed his cheek.

Stepping back, Lily smiled. 'See you around, James.' She stood for a second longer, and then ran up the stairs of the castle.
