It happened so fast Lily didn't realize it. But it felt so good and so right that she didn't want to pull away.

Draco's lips tasted right against hers; they were so soft and tasted like fire whiskey and apples. Apples.

Probably from the candy he had bought the very same day.

But why did it feel like a mistake? When they pulled away, not only her eyes were wide in realization, but his also.

And the next thing she knew she was running through the crowd, trying to reach the corridor that lead to her dorm.

'Lily!' she heard Draco call after her, but she couldn't stop, not even for the fact that her name, said by him was doing things to her she didn't understand.

She slammed the door to the dorm shut, falling slowly onto the floor and resting her back against the oak wood of it.

Something like that wasn't supposed to happen, ever; even if Lily grew attached to Draco, she knew it wasn't right. He hated her for all his life and all the way around, they were like fire and water, only ashes would came out of them.

After a few moments of the realization sinking in, Lily got up from the floor and rushed to the bathroom.

Why did she wanted to dress as a vampire, it was almost impossible that he would dress as something else. Still, when her eyes landed on his, her whole world stopped.

Water ran down her back as she decided to take a shower to wash off her makeup. The fake vampire bite disappeared in seconds as Lily rubbed with soap at her skin.

The steam made the mirror blurry so she ran a hand over it, seeing herself in the clear spot. Her hair was falling wet on her back and the towel didn't show anything Lily cared about so she walked out of the bathroom.

As soon as her hair was dry and she put on her pajamas, the redhead jumped under the protection of her blankets, letting sleep take her away.

The next couple of weeks Draco tried desperately to have a talk with Lily about what happened, but it seemed that her friends were glued to her side.

Lily indeed didn't leave Ron and Hermione alone for any second because she didn't want to embrace the awkwardness of what happened. The pair didn't find out about her mistake as no one really paid attention when it happened and no rumors were launched.

She even had no problem with her best friends' displays of attention as she would just get a book and bury herself in it, even if it was about something boring like History of Magic.

The blonde was desperate to get any reaction from her; after all Lily meant something to Draco ever since he saw her in Madam Malkin's shop. To have her return his feelings would be something unbelievable, then why didn't she want to talk to him?

It was a fine Saturday morning of November; only the wind could be described as lethal when it hit your face and left with an icy sensation. The Quidditch game between Gryffindor and Slytherin was set in a few hours and despite that, Lily couldn't get out of bed.

Draco would play against her housemates, it was hard to think about even getting out of bed and seeing him after that much time.
