AN: Hey guys! I was so excited to post the previous and this chapter, you can all guess why. The response to the previous chapter was so good, it mad me want to type this up immediately. I also want to thank everyone who expressed their concern about me, it meant a lot to see you guys actually care. On with the story!


Lily doubled over, clutching her sides as she howled with laughter. She looked up at James who had his head tilted toward the ceiling, a single tear of mirth escaping his golden eyes. His face suddenly dropped and he widened his eyes at the roof before snapping his head down.

Lily craned her neck a little and saw what had thrown James off so suddenly. The tiny mistletoe hung from the ceiling looking innocent, almost lovable but to Lily it was taunting and she felt her breathing constrict. Her gut twisted when James glanced at her and she froze. She felt something inside her give way, her belly plunging into a bottomless abyss, her blood running cold.

It all happened so fast but everything seemed to be going in slow motion. Her thoughts were racing, flying through her head before she could register them. She felt a split second of joy replaced with horror when she saw James turning away from her. Before she could stop herself, before she could carefully calculate her actions and assess the situation, Lily felt her self spin the boy around and collide her lips with his.

It was amazing.

There was no other way Lily could describe how she was feeling. For a moment James just stood still, too stunned to move with his arms limp by his sides. Lily realised her mistake a little too late and was just about to pull away when he began responding. He started kissing her back. She knew it sounded cheesy but it was electric, like how all those muggle movies were always describing the perfect kiss to be. Lily didn't see fireworks but she could feel them exploding inside her. Lily felt him snake his arms around her waist, pulling her closer. She wrapped one arm around his neck the other in his hair, grabbing on to the messy black locks. She was forced to stand on her tiptoes even with James leaning down.

The kiss deepened and she could feel James smiling against her mouth, making her giggle a little. She felt herself being lifted off the ground as James spun her around, still joined at the lips. They pulled apart when he set her down. Foreheads pressed, identical grins gracing their faces.

Lily looked into the hazel eyes and in that single moment saw more emotion than she thought possible for a single human being. It was then when she realised her actions and felt her cheeks become hot. She could rest assured they were as bright as her hair but this only seemed to make the Head Boy smirk. 'God that smile,' Lily thought. She had always hated it. The James Potter Trademark: The lopsided grin making every girl (and some guys) swoon but had never affected Lily. At least not in a way she was aware of at the time. But then, with his arms wrapped around her almost protectively, she felt differently towards that crooked smile.


AN: SHE DOESN'T HATE HIM ANYMORE! Do you know hoe happy that makes me?! One of my OTP's have finally gotten together, and its unbelievable because my other OTP's don't seem to be coming true any time soon. I know OTP is ONE true pair but I have about four :P And you can't do anything about it! *cackles manically*
Sorry about that, I'm just a little giddy. That's all :)

Sorry if this is a little short, but I wanted to end the chapter right there. I hope you understand the writer in me xP

Let me know what you think about the chapter and the story so far in a PM or a review, whichever you prefer. Thanks for reading!
