PARGINGS: L/J
YEAR: 7th
SUMMARY: Hogwarts is having a dance where a student band is playing. James think it'll be the perfect plan - win Lily over by performing a song for her. Can it work?
FYI: this was the summary for Fanficiton, but I've changed it, because originally, the story was just going to be about the dance.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any Harry Potter character or any songs I will be using. I wish I did cuz the songs are really good, at least I think so.

CHAPTER ONE: TRAIN RIDE
It was known fact that Lily Evans didn't particularly like James Potter. It was also known that James Potter had liked Lily Evans for quite sometime, but Lily wouldn't go out with him. (Shush! Don't tell them that they end up married with a beautiful baby boy) James and his friends, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, were the biggest pranksters in the school. (If you don't know the school by now, why are you even here? Go read the books and find out the school!) While James was very full of himself, Lily had to admit, James wasn't bad looking. And she didn't hate him as much as she hated his huge ego. If he would just deflate his head and quite hexing people just because he can, Lily would actually give him a chance and possibly go out with him.
Lily was walking onto Platform 9 at Kings Cross Station on the morning of September 1st.
"Lily!" came a girl's squeal.
Lily turned around to see Haley James (not the one on OneTreeHill lol), Lily's friend, running towards her. Haley dropped her bags and hugged Lily. Lily set down her stuff, too.
"Haley!" Lily said. "How are you?"
"Good. Seen Megan?" Haley asked.
"Not yet," Lily said. Haley picked up her luggage and her and Lily crossed through the barrier.
"Well we've still got 20 minutes," Haley said.
They sat their luggage down, Haley sitting on hers. They looked around hoping to see their friend, Megan Sawyer. After a couple of minutes, Haley spotted an empty compartment and grabbed as much luggage as she could, saying she was going to go save the compartment for them. Lily decided to stay and watch for Megan.
"Lily!" said a girl's voice.
Before Lily had time to turn around and look, she was being picked up and spun. Lily saw the person's face, which was non-other than James Potter. She saw him close his eyes and before she could yell at him, his lips were covering hers. She felt her eyes close.
She was set down on the ground. James was strong, she could tell. No doubt it was from all those years of Quidditch training.
His lips are warm, Lily thought, No! No! I can't be thinking that!
There were people all around wolf-whistling and whooping and screaming, James' friends included. The loudest of all by far was Sirius Black. Remus rolled his eyes, but whistled, too.
James pulled away after a few seconds, both of them opening their eyes. James licked his lips, still looking at her lips. "Mmmmmm," came from James' mouth. His eyes flickered up to her eyes. Lily looked back into his eyes.
"Oh . . . my . . . go! You guys finally hooked up!" came Megan's voice.
"Yep," said a very proud James, his eyes never leaving Lily's.
"No, we didn't, Megan," Lily said. "Now Potter, please put me down now!"
"You know you liked it," James said. He gave her a quick peck on the cheek before putting her down.
"You wish, Potter!" Lily said.
"Yeah, I do," James said, winking at her. He walked over to his friends, who were grinning. Sirius had the biggest smile. He turned around to face Lily and yelled, "Lookin' good this year, Lily! But then again - you always do!"
Lily rolled her eyes and turned back to Megan, whose mouth was still a gap.
"Shut up!" Lily said. They walked to the compartment where Haley was.
"Megan!" Haley said, excitedly, then stopping when she saw Megan's mouth open. "Why are you looking at Lily like that?"
"I can not believe you kissed James Potter!" Megan said. Lily turned to Haley just in time to see her eyes got big at hearing this.
"What?! You kissed Potter?!" Haley asked.
"No!" Lily said.
"Good, you were starting to scare -"
"He kissed me," Lily said.
"But you've still kissed James Potter! Do you know how many girls want to do that?" Haley said.
Yes, Lily did know how many girls were jealous of her for having James want her so much.
"But . . . I didn't do it willingly!" Lily protested.
"But you still did, and you closed your eyes, and you didn't pull away," Megan pointed out.
"I couldn't! He was holding me too tight!" Lily said.
"But you closed your eyes," Megan said.
"I didn't mean to," Lily muttered.
"Was it at least a good kiss?" Haley asked, innocently.
"Shut up," Lily said, glaring at them.
"Hey guys," Remus' head popped into the compartment.
"Hey Remus," Lily said.
"What's up?" Haley asked.
"Can we sit here? Everywhere else is full," Remus said.
"Sure Remus," Haley said, moving her stuff off the seat by her. Megan smiled at Lily as James came in.
"Shut up," Lily mouthed.
James sat across from Lily, surprising quite a few people. Lily raised her eyebrows at him. Remus sat down next to Lily. Lily looked at James over the top of her book. She wondered why he hadn't chosen to sit next to her; especially after what he did earlier. He must've felt her stare on him because he looked over at her. Lily raised her eyebrows at him. James winked and smiled at Lily; Lily rolled her eyes.
The train whistle blew and they started to move. James got up and walked to the door and slid it open, muttering to Sirius, "Going to the loo," after Sirius looked at him. Sirius winked at him.
A little bit later, Lily leaned over to Haley and whispered in her ear, "Got to go to Head's meeting. See ya later." Haley then told Megan.
Lily got up and went to the Head's compartment. When she got there, she was surprised to find a grinning James Potter waiting for her. He looked at her up and down and down and up, then met her eyes; a smile playing on the corner of his mouth.
"Um, Potter, this isn't the loo," Lily said, closing the compartment door and stepping farther in.
"Oh! So that's why there aren't any toilets!" James said, hitting himself on the forehead.
"You are gonna be a horrible Head Boy, Potter. Now, go be stupid somewhere else," Lily said, looking him directly in the eye. She could tell that he was looking in her eyes also.
"Aww, but you're here Lily," James said, taking a step closer to Lily. Lily took a step back, her heart started beating faster.
"Potter," Lily started, crossing her arms, "What do you want?"
"I thought that was obvious," James said, taking another step closer to Lily. "I want you." Lily another step back; she was now backed up against a wall.
"James . . ." Lily said, almost warning him. James took a half - step and was right in front of Lily.
"Lily . . ." James said gently, cupping one of her cheeks, lightly. He lightly rubbed her cheek with his thumb.
Oh god, he's going to kiss me, Lily thought.
"Why do you hate me so much?" he asked, softly.
Honestly, she didn't hate him. She disliked extremely, but not hated, how he was so full of himself.
"J-James, I-I-I d-don't -" Lily started.
"Hi - oh, sorry," said a prefect. James let go of Lily and took a few step back, never taking his eyes off of Lily.
"That's okay, come on in," Lily said to the boy, but looking at James still.
