James let out a sigh of relief when Lily's eyes popped open. He leaned away from her, trying to give her some space and also hoping that she would not take his closeness as an attempt to hit on her as usual. He didn't say anything, but let her return to normal. She seemed to be laying there, intentionally trying to ingore him. Did she want him to leave?
However, his last thought did not have time to process, as he found himself abruptly being slapped across the face. His eyes popped open in surprise and his jaw dropped with shock. What had he done? He hadn't even been staring at her breasts. He didn't have to wonder long though...
"That was for not saving me sooner..." He hadn't really expected her to explain herself, but when she did he was still left confused. Saving her sooner? What did she think he was? Her personal lifeguard?
Once again, his thoughts were cut short, but this time by something far more pleasant. He closed his eyes in ecstasy as Lily's lips met his. But, as soon as hit had happened it was already over, as she left him undeniably wanting more. He wasn't sure if she was trying to confuse him or tease him. But so far she was doing a really good job of both.
"And that was for saving me."
Well, at least that explanation makes sense he thought. Still, he was speechless. Lily tended to have that effect on him.
"James... I'm sorry. I know that all you've tried to do is impress me and all I've ever done was shoot you down in mid-air. I shouldn't have. I was just being stubborn. When I was down there.. all I could think about was how mean I've been to you, and all I wanted to do was see you one last time and apologize. So, I'm sorry."
He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "I think you might be in a state of shock. You don't know what you're saying. Either that, or I have a lot of water in my ears" he joked, but quickly realized that this probably wasn't the time for jokes. "You should probably go to the hospital wing" he said a bit sadly. As much as he wanted to accept what she was saying, he found it hard to believe that her opinion would change so rapidly. Knowing Lily, and with his luck, things would return to normal by class the next day. James leaned over and grabbed her pile of clothes, offering them to her with a sort of half-hearted smile.

Lily sat there, slightly stunned at herself for kissing him, yet at the same itm... she had enjoyed it. When James didn't believe her on what she said, she raised a brow. "No.. James." she began. "I'm fine. I don't need the hostpital wing." she said. At that point, she was looking at her toes, her wet, red hair hanging in her face. How could she get James to believe her?
Then, she looked up. "What can I do to get you to believe me James?" she asked him. When he handed her her clothes, she stood up and pulled them on quickly. Although, for some reason, she wasn't as embarrassed about being seen in her underware as she thought she would be.

He couldn't believe how calm she was for someone who had almost drowned. He had never had a life threatening event happen to him before so he was rather inexperienced, but wasn't it sort of... traumatic? Oh well, maybe she was alright. If she didn't want to go to the hospital wing, he wasn't going to force her. Maybe she knew what she was saying. Maybe having your life saved made you love someone? He didn't really know.
He layed back on the grass as she put her clothes on. He was slightly out of breath from the swimming and the running. He couldn't help but take a peek back at her as she was putting her shirt. I wonder if that's a sight i'll ever get to see again he thought to himself. It was also at this point that he realized he was soaking wet and, unlike Lily, didn't have a change of clothes on hand. He pulled at the shirt that was sticking to his body and cursed the fact that he was wearing jeans which were severely uncomfortable when they got wet. He took a second to consider her question as he finally managed to catch his breath. "Try me again in the morning" he said with his trademark smirk.

After putting on her clothes, she turned back to James and sighed. "Alright.." she said quietly. "But... thanks for diving in after me James." she said to him with a lopsided grin. She saw as he looked down at himself and she grinned. "Here.. let me help you with that." At that she picked up her wand and pointed it at him.
With a flick of her wrist and soft mutter of two words, she preformed a drying spell. She smiled lightly to herself as a small blast of heat came from her wand and blew towards James. "There.. hopefully that'll do the trick." With a small sigh, she turned away and looked at the castle. "We should probably be getting back.."

"Alright.. But... thanks for diving in after me James."
The fact that she let it go so quickly gave James the feeling that nothing was going to change between them, as depressing as that thought truely was. Still, she had smiled at him... that was an improvement from the usually looks of annoyance and disappointment that he always got from her.
"Here.. let me help you with that. There.. hopefully that'll do the trick."
He probably could have done the spell himself, but one of his flaws in magic was that he rarely thought of the spell. Once someone suggested it, he was perfectly capable of performing it one his own. The spell washed over him, feeling like a warm breeze. His clothes dried, as did his hair. It ended up in the ruffled windswept way that he always wore it; like he was just getting off of his broom. "Thanks. Now I don't have to sit down here naked" he said jokingly. The funny thing was... he probably would have. He leaned back down and put his arms behind his head, staring up at the moonlit night sky.
"We should probably be getting back..."
He thought about this... she was turning back into the practical, prefect Lily. Maybe all she needed was water to make her more fun. James laughed to himself, and stored this bit of information for later wen he would undoubtedly be recounting the night to his mates. Nonetheless, James didn't really want to go back to bed, he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep, not after the events of the evening. "What? And miss such a beautiful night?" he said to her, solidifying his intentions to stay down by the lake. "But, if you'd like an escort back to your room..." he trailed off.

As she stood facing the castle, she racked her brain for ways to convince him... but nothing came to mind. With a small sigh, she was about to head off when he made the comment about him sitting there naked. At that, she laughed so hard she almost snorted. "You probably would have done it too, huh?" she said with a grin.
At the mention of the beautiful night, she looked up at the sky and smiled gently. It really was a beautiful night. She looked back over at him and shrugged. "I suppose we could stay down here a while. I just don't think i'll go for another swim." she laughed. She then walked over to him and sat next to him... but not too close. After a few moments of silence, she looked over at him. "I'm going to keep prying at youuntil you believe me James Potter..." she said with a small smirk.

"You probably would have done it too, huh?"
He was shocked when she laughed. Well, shocked, is an understatement. He never heard her laugh, least not around him. It was a great sound and only made him like her that much more. "You seem to know me a lot better than you let on, bab-- uh, Lily." He was so used to calling girls babe or honey. Most of them liked it, but he knew that Lily didn't. Still, he had never been willing to change himself for the sake of that. But, now, all by themselves in the middle of the night. Something clicked and he considered what she had said only moments ago.
"I suppose we could stay down here a while. I just don't think i'll go for another swim."
More laughter. And she wanted to stay? Could it be that she was actually having a good time with him? As she came to sit down by him he couldn't help but feel a sense of self-satisfaction and it showed on his face. He had always know that Lily had the hots for him. Everyone always thought he was mental, but it seemed that he had been right. This was only confirmed by what she said next.
"I'm going to keep prying at you until you believe me James Potter..."
Now as much as James was a gentleman and wasn't going to take advantage of a girl against her will; Lily seemed very insistant. Maybe... just maybe, she had changed her mind? Of course he wouldn't object to that. Being a bold person, he decided to test his luck... even if it did mean getting slapped again. He slowly closed the gap between them, looking straight into her eyes, trying to get a sense of where he stood. Then, without further warning, he reached a hand behind her and pulled her into a passionate kiss.

Lily had been looking out at the lake when he corrected himself. She was slightly shocked, but she looked back at him and gave him a half smile. "Looks like I'm not the only one who's changed a bit." she said. Maybe it was the atmosphere. The stars shinning bright and the ground only being slightly lit up by the moon, or maybe it actually was that she had had a change of heart.
It was strange how the air around you and certain situations could put a strong effect on how you feel and act. Like if Lily hadn't just almost drowned and James hand't saved her, she would probably be just as stubborn and hardheaded about being around him as ever.
She was just about to look up at the stars when her eyes met him and he drew closer. At that, her heart began to race like never before. It was a strange feeling that she had never felt before and she wasn't quite sure what to do, but James's next action cleared things up a bit for her.
As she felt his lips meet her's for the second time that night, her eyes raised slightly, but closed them and... kissed him? Yes, Lily Evans was kissing James Potter back, with just as much or more passion as when he kissed her.

If he had had any doubts before, all of them were dashed when his lips met hers. He was further encouraged by the fact that she seemed to return the kiss with as much fervor. He continued to kiss her with a renewed confidence and excitement. Lily was letting him kiss her! Lily was kissing him back! His mind repeated these things to him and it only made the kiss that much more enjoyable. Add to the fact that LIly was quite a good kisser herself. James had had lots of experience, but he wondered how Lily had aquired the talent. He couldn't exactly picture her snoggng any of the guys at their school, but maybe it came naturally. Nevertheless, he let his tongue loose a little, but pulled away before he lost all sense of control over himself. Plastered on his face was the biggest and brightest smile ever seen. James felt the sensation of flying, yeat he was no where near his broomstick which lay forgotten severals yards away. She made him feel bouyant and... he couldn't even descrbe his feelings.

As they sat there, just kisisng under a tree at the moonlit lake, a small smile creeped up on her lips. She had never before thought of kissing Potter, but now that she was, she never wanted it to end. She too felt like she was flying. Why did I think of this before? she thought to herself. She was slightly surprised to find herself thinking this, but she couldn't help it. James was a brilliant kisser.
When he pulled away, her eyes remained closed for a minute... he had left her wanting a bit more. but finally, she opened them and looked over at him. "Now do you believe me James?" she asked, bitting her bottom lip slightly.

In truth, James didn't know what to believe anymore. What he did know was that he never wanted this to end. But, James was still James, and as such, could always be counted on to reply with some kind of wit or sarcasm. Even being with Lily couldn't change that.
"Do I believe you?" he repeated, trying very hard to subdue the smirk that spread across his face. "I think I might need a bit more convincing" he said smugly, ruffling up his hair as he often did and leaning back a bit nonchalantly. In truth, he didn't need any more convincing, but he wasn't all opposed to playing this kissing game all night. Still, he didn't want to push it too far and so watched her acutely for a reaction. Well, he figured he might as well try his luck tonight. After all, who knew what tomorrow would bring.

Lily smirked at his comment and watched as he leaned back. She raised a brow and crossed her arms. "More? Well, let's see what I can do..." she said, slightly seductively. She moved closer and so her upper body was atop his. She got really close to him and brushed his lips with hers and slightly nuzzled his nose. Then, she pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss.
When their lips met once again, her eyes raised and she moved a hand to his cheek. She was truely enjoying kissing him. After a few momnets, she pulled away, bitting his bottom lip slightly as she did so, teasing him a bit.

James felt like he was in some kind of crazy dream. He had never seen Lily act so seductively... well, maybe in his own mind he had indulged in fantasy, but she had never given any hint that she had this kind of desire within her. James found it surprising and totally hot. As she closed the distance between them once again and pressed herself against him, he almost had trouble containing his excitement. He felt like a little boy in a candy shop. He had thought that he was now in control of the situation, but as she brushed her lips against his then pulled away slightly, he realized that he was completely at her mercy. She was teasing him. Still, he tease was not unfulfilled as she leaned in to give him what he wanted. He leaned into her kiss with as much desperation as a man in need of oxygen. The feeling of her gentle touch on hiis face sent repeated shivers of pleasure down his spine. When she pulled away all could think was that he wanted more. His face reflected pure ecstasy and his mouth hung open slightly.

After she had pulled away, she opened her eyes and looked at him. The look on his face was priceless. She didn't know that she was capable of doing such a thing to someone. But, she smiled gently at him and sat on her knees. "So... now do you believe me? Or do I have to think of something else to do?" she asked, her brow raised.
She knew ofcourse that he might make her try something else, but the look on his face told her that he did believe her, and that was enough for her. "Well, I'm afraid I'm actualy out of ideas for once. So, if you need more proof, you might have to wait until morning." she said with a shrug.

James merely shook his head in response to her questions. His brain couldn't really connect with his mouth to produce a sound at the moment. Normally James was the epitomy of cool when he was around girls. It was only Lily that seemed to do this to him.
All of a sudden he felt extremely tired... probably due to the rescuing that he had had to do, which proved to be very strenuous. Having spent enough time admiring the beautiful night, James made to pick himself up off of the grass. He offered Lily his hand to help her get up. "Shall we?" he asked smiling with an expression of pure bliss and gesturing towards the castle. He wasn't really afraid of being caught, now that he was in the company of a prefect. Even if it was a prefect who had turned out to have an unexpected wild side...
