Jily

Chapter 5

James's POV

I waited for her to disappear up the stairs before I raced out of the common room and into the room that I shared with my best mates. I ran into the room at top speed, whooping and hollering from the doorway and straight to the center of the room.

"Padfoot! Moony! Wormatail! You will never believe what happened!" I shouted, jumping onto each person's bed in turn and shaking them awake.

The only response that I received was numerous groans of "Go to bed, you arse. I was asleep." And "Shut up and go to bed already, Prongs."

"But guys, Lily flirted back. I was nice to her today, like she wanted, and then tonight she kissed me!"

"I don't believe you," A ball of blankets on Sirius's bed replied drowsily. Sirius poked his head out, "No way that she kissed you."

"She did too,"

Sirius raised an eyebrow disbelievingly, looking like he was just about going to fall asleep then and there.

I shrugged half heartedly, "Well, Okay, it was just a kiss on the cheek, but it was a kiss nonetheless and she whispered something in my ear that wasn't a threat. This is fantastic!"

At this Remus stirred and started to sit up, frowning tiredly, "You still shouldn't go asking her out right away. You know that, right? She is just going to say no, no matter how much she likes you. She's too stubborn."

"And how would you know that, Moony?" I asked, my spirits dropping

"Because I'm actually friends with Lily. You should try it sometime."

"Ok. Maybe I will, then." I responded defiantly, just barely holding back from sticking my tongue out at him in the dark, "I'm going to go to bed now. Humph."

That night I slept well. Really well. Even though my scarily-smart-werewolf-friend warned me against it, I dreamt about dating Lily. Wow. I really, really loved her, didn't I? That couldn't be good...
