“I’m going to kill, Marlene…” muttered Lily not quite under her breath as she looked up at the mistletoe above her head and then again at James Potter, who happened to be crossing the threshold at just the right time. Marlene and the rest of their friends were laughing across the common room at the predicament. Lily sighed, “Alright then. Let’s do this.”

“It’s…okay, Evans,” James said, reaching up behind his head to mess up his hair, “We don’t have to.”

“I’m pretty sure Marlene charmed the mistletoe. If we don’t kiss, I’ll end up with slugs up my arse or something,” James laughed a little, “And I’m not interested in that.”

“Ill have Sirius come over and kiss both of us, loophole to the system.” James suggested, looking around the common room, getting ready to signal to his best friend who was watching the scene from afar. 

“I’m not taking my chances with a loophole.” Lily told him, studying the boy in front of her pointedly. James Potter had been asking her out for years. He was always showing off in front of her, trying to sit next to her, and this year in particular had gone out of his way to compliment her quietly. There was even a time he noticed she had gotten a branch tangled in her hair during Care of Magical Creatures and offered to take it out–simple as that with no strings– and Lily didn’t understand how now given a glorious opportunity, James wasn’t initiating a kiss. In fact, he looked embarrassed to be caught under the mistletoe with her at all. And even more, she didn’t know why she was suddenly offended by this thought.

He shuffled on his feet slightly. Nerves? An act? Had he tampered with the mistletoe alongside Marlene?

“Do you not want to kiss me?” Lily asked him, tilting her chin up, “Because I’m in a dress that I know looks very good on me, I did my hair, and I’m pretty sure I did exceptionally well on all my exams. Everyone in this bloody room would love to kiss me right now, and you’re offering to trade in for Sirius?”

“You want to kiss me?” asked James, his eyebrows raising in confusion, “I’m trying to be respectful of your boundaries and last I checked you told me I was an arrogant uh…”

“Twat?”

“That.” James said laughing a little a looking down.

“Well, I’m not one to tamper with the rules of mistletoe, so…it’s alright.” Lily took a step closer to him, “You’ve been asking me out for a date for years…just go ahead.”

“I don’t kiss on first dates,” James said messing up his hair again, now actually looking embarrassed, “And I definitely wouldn’t kiss you on our first date. I…” he smiled a little and met her gaze, “I like to wait for the best things. Sometimes I stretch out Quidditch games that I know we’re going to win…or like surprises? I like…to wait for those.”

“Well, Potter,” she said, despite the faint flush she could feel on her face, at the words James had just spoken. I like to wait for the best things…I would wait to kiss you. “I’m impatient, and I can’t stand under here all night.”

“I would.” 

“And miss out on whatever trouble your friends are causing?”

James shrugged, “I mean this is the longest conversation we’ve had without you telling me to shove off so…I’ll take it. I like talking with you.” he said, “If…we went on a date, that’s what we’d do you know. I could…I would spend hours just talking with you.”

“I’d run out of things to say, I’m sure.”

“I wouldn’t.” Lily shook her head in hopes of concealing the second wave of blush, wishing she wasn’t so fair. “But…I suppose you’re right that we can’t stand here all evening so…” James took a step closer, and grabbed her hand in his. Warm and she could feel the callouses built up on his palm and finger tips from Quidditch.  He slowly raised her hand, bringing it to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly, their eyes meeting and Lily’s breath caught in her throat at the intensity of his gaze. The quiet intimacy. 

He released her hand, the signature James Potter grin creeping onto his face, “Alright, Evans?”

Lily cleared her throat, certain her entire face was pink, “Alright.”

James nodded shortly, stepping out of the threshold. In the background she could hear Marlene booing at the less than passionate kiss James had seemingly given Lily, but it felt the exact opposite. Every vein in Lily’s body was on fire.  “Oh, one more thing?”

“What’s that?”

“You’re…beautiful.“ He gave her another smile before walking away and back to where his group of friends were sitting, not far from Lily’s own. Lily’s eyes lingered for a few moments, scanning toned shoulders through a dark red sweater, his friends making just as much noise as hers were. Lily made her way to Marlene, sitting on the couch next to her, the blonde grinning widely and bringing a hand up to Lilys forehead.

“Feeling okay, Lils? You look a bit…hot.”

“Shut it.”

Tantalizing Waves

IT'S FINALLY HERE YALL! My submission for shirtless JP May! Read on AO3 here.

"Too scared to come in the water, Mac?"

"Sod off, McKinnon," Mary says through gritted teeth, taking Marlene's words as a challenge and bounding into the water without a hint of trepidation. She splashes water on a laughing Marlene, who readily returns the favor.

The water in the Prefects' Bathroom is, as Lily discovers with a dip of her feet, chilly and well-suited for the muggy June weather; it's the perfect way to spend a hot summer day instead of slumming it outside in the torrid sunshine.

Lily shrugs out of her white robe, leaving her wearing a dark green two-piece swimsuit. The top has thin straps, a low neckline, and a hem that flares out and stops just below her navel, and the bikini bottoms are more revealing than what she would ordinarily wear, but she has an ulterior motive for her more risqué choice of swimwear.

Tentatively, she steps into the tub, the foam gently lapping around her calves and, after another step, her lower thighs. The pool water rolls back and forth around her legs, coaxing her further into the water until she's submerged up to her waist.

An arc of clear blue water curves through the air to spatter around her bare shoulders, the wetness sparking a yelp of outrage from her and a delighted cackle from Marlene, who is ostensively determined to start a water tussle.

"Ugh, Marly," Lily says with a grimace. "You're a menace."

Marlene responds with a kiss blown in Lily's direction, unsuccessfully attempting to toss her drenched hair over her shoulder and settling for a scowl and a hand raking through her normally luscious, now-flattened locks.

"When are the boys coming?" Bess asks curiously from where she's perched on the edge of the tub. Her legs are dangling into the water but her upper half, clothed in a particularly attractive blue bikini top that compliments her golden curls, remains untouched.

Mary clicks her tongue and faux-frowns at Bess, her lips pursing dramatically. "What, are we not good enough for you? Whatever happened to 'Gryffindor girls time'?"

Bess merely smiles genially at Mary. She and their fifth dormmate, Ingrid (who is currently in her bathing suit but sitting on the sole bench outside of the pool, head in her hands, watching the rest of the girls with rapt attention) have never been as close to Mary as Lily and Marlene.

"Of course I'm loving spending time with you girls, but it'd be a lie if I said I wasn't looking forward to seeing Sirius Black without a shirt on," Bess jokes with a mischievous smile.

"You'd think Potter would have the better physique, wouldn't you?" Ingrid chips in from her spot on the bench. "He's the Quidditch player, after all."

To hide her rapidly reddening cheeks, Lily sinks lower into the water, letting it lap at her chin.

She isn't going to bother lying to herself. She knows that the thought of James Potter in swim trunks is the main reason she consented to Marlene inviting the sixth-year Gryffindor boys. The sight of James's fit figure would more than makeup for any possible inconveniences, not that there would be many; it turns out that she gets along unexpectedly well with all of the boys, even Sirius. Even so, time spent with just her dormmates is precious little, and proper bonding with all of them is even lesser.

Their little excursion to the Prefects' Bathroom was a planned, well-thought-out scheme intended for a celebration of the end of exams and the beginning of summer hols. Surely, Lily muses, a little bit of fun can't hurt anybody. And inviting the boys, while it admittedly being gratuitous wish-fulfillment on her part, can only add to the fun.

So what if she pulled out her low-cut, provocative swimsuit only once Marlene confirmed that they would be coming? A girl can want to look good for herself!

"Yeah, Lil, what do you think?" Mary asks with a wicked smile. "Do you reckon Potter has a rockin' hot body?"

Lily flushes in indignation. "I actually do not have any opinions on Potter's body."

While she's finishing her sentence, a click sounds from the direction of the bathroom, and the arrival of the Gryffindor boys is embellished with a low chuckle from one of them, though she isn't sure who.

"What were you saying about my body, Evans?"

Her words are stuck decisively in her throat when she hears the deliciously familiar cadence of James Potter's voice, and her heart rate picks up, thudding so loudly in her chest that she's afraid others can hear it.

She turns in the direction of his voice and is granted with the sight of all four Marauders (fully-clothed, alas) standing near the entrance to the large pool room. She's technically aware that Remus, Sirius, and Peter are standing there too, but somehow she can't tear her gaze away from where James leans against the wall, hands tucked into his pockets, looking perfectly at ease, practically begging for her to rip his clothes off and have her way with him.

Well, the last part isn't necessarily true— for example, she doubts Mary or Marlene are having the same thoughts—  but Lily remains staunch in her belief that it's criminally unjust for one man to be so damn alluring.

"Just that it's nothing special," Lily shoots back, well aware that she drank in his appearance for a second too long, and now she looks like she's been waiting for him the whole time (which is true, but he doesn't need to know that).

James smirks lopsidedly at her, his tantalizing ink-black curls falling into his forehead. "Ah, don't lie, Evans. The truth is that you're afraid of how much you want me."

Lily huffs, not admitting that he's correct. "In your dreams, Potter."

"Ahem," Sirius interrupts with an entirely un-covert cough into his hands, "Would you two take your flirting somewhere else? The rest of us would like to get in the pool."

"We were not flirting—" Lily blusters, at the same time as Marlene, who says, "Thank you, Sirius. Come in, boys."

Her words were swallowed up by Marlene's, but that doesn't stop her from exhaling loudly and pointedly with a glare in Sirius's direction.

"May I just say," Sirius drawls, "That you ladies are looking particularly lovely today."

His gaze drags over the five girls one by one, and Lily sees Bess straighten up with a satisfied smile dancing on her lips when his gaze lingers on her.

"Very lovely," James adds, and Lily reluctantly tears her gaze away from him when she sees that he's looking straight at her, though not without a pleasing thrill rushing down her spine and a subconscious take that! to Ingrid, who she knows has always harbored a bit of a crush on him.

She's jolted out of her thoughts by Peter, who pulls off his shirt and quickly hops into the water, sinking in self-consciously. He's closely followed by Sirius, who is objectively attractive, though mostly in the pretty-boy way, who makes a predictably dramatic entrance filled with embellished hand movements and loud bickering with Marlene.

Remus joins after, with a friendly hullo, Lily, to her, keeping his shirt on, looking notably uncomfortable and sticking to the side of the pool.

She doesn't even try to pretend that she's not watching as James takes his shirt off.

Like Ingrid had predicted, there's no question that he has the best body out of all of the boys. His chest is toned from years of rigorous Quidditch, his arms are subtly muscular in a manner understated enough to look natural, and the bare planes of his stomach are so enticing that Lily can't help but stare at the dark curls forming a V that disappear into the low-hanging waistband of his swim trunks.  The angular bones on either side of his hips jut out in such a way that she's taking large gulps of air, suddenly all too aware of the heat flooding to all parts of her body as she imagines putting her hands on those two ridges, running her hands up and across the rippling muscles.

"Close your mouth, you're staring," Mary whispers teasingly, her voice low enough for Lily to barely hear her. Embarrassed, Lily promptly clamps her jaw shut, averting her gaze and submerging herself lower into the water to hide the hotness spreading throughout her body and the flush glazed on her cheeks.

He climbs into the pool, the water dripping across his chest only serving to accentuate the flexing muscles there, and wades over to Remus's other side, alarmingly near to where Lily hovers. She doesn't think her heart could take it if he comes any closer.

The next several minutes are filled with loud laughter, casual chatter, and Lily sneaking sidelong glances at where a certain fit Quidditch Captain lounges easily.

"So, Lily," James says casually, leaning against the inside pool walls. Sometime between his arrival in the pool and right now, Remus has moved away, leaving no one in between her and James.

"So, James," She parrots, glad to see that her vocal cords are still working with him so close to her and his bare chest at eye-level to her.

"We're going to be seventh-years soon," He muses, stretching an arm to rest on the rim of the tub, just centimeters from her back. "Head Girl Lily Evans has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

She laughs doubtfully, though with a touch of pride. "I might not get Head Girl," She says modestly. "Helena Sommers seems certain that she'll get it."

"Pshh," James says dismissively, waving a hand in the air. "Helena Sommers doesn't hold a candle to you."

She smiles happily, glad to have his approval even if she doesn't need it.

"And what about you?" She asks curiously.

He blinks. "Me?"

"Head Boy!"

He bursts into incredulous laughter, his chest vibrating with movement. "Me? Head Boy? Have you gone barking mad, Evans?"

She smirks to herself. "Maybe I have, yeah."

He shakes his head disbelievingly. "As if I would ever get Head Boy. It'll probably go to some goody-two-shoes Prefect like Remus, or maybe Garrett Bentley. Wanker," He adds sourly as an afterthought.

"I think you would make a great Head Boy," Lily says honestly. "You're not the same person you were last year, you know. You've grown up, and I know you've been tutoring firsties."

He grins at her disarmingly, and she thinks that if she weren't already in the water her knees would have weakened.

"Careful there, Evans, it almost sounds like you're complimenting me."

Her first instinct is to scoff it away, but she swallows her pride and says, "I am, actually," relishing in the way his eyes widen in surprise. "I hope you're Head Boy," She says softly. "We would make a good team, wouldn't we?"

He smiles lopsidedly at her. "We would, yeah."

James turns away a moment later in response to Sirius calling his name, but even after he's long waded away, her thoughts drift back to him over and over again.

Perhaps, Lily muses, perhaps if he's Head Boy and she's Head Girl, she'll take a risk. After all, they would be a picture-perfect Gryffindor duo. It would be fitting to consummate a new year full of Gryffindor with an act of courage.

She lets her gaze stray to where the object of her affections throws his head back in laughter in response to something Bess said and allows herself a soft smile.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea, Lily decides. If they're Head Boy and Head Girl, she'll let herself ask him something she's been wanting to for a long while... and if his reaction to seeing her in the pool is any indicator, he just might say yes.

Ok, don’t get tired of me just yet, this is almost the end. They haven’t cried and hugged it out yet. So it’s not over.

And this was the bit that was the blurriest in my head, so - thanks maraurdering, for enduring my endless rambling and sharing thoughts and theories with me.

        She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves.

Lily Evans is only in Chapter 28 of OOTP for approximately two pages but in that time frame James Potter manages to say ‘Evans’ seven times because he is an Absolute Disaster at playing it cool

[bellemrdch]

“… Lily sat at the very edge of the sofa, probably attempting to put as much space between herself and the Head Boy as possible. He sat at the the opposite corner, but all the same, it wasn’t a very large couch. ”

LIT MEME: [1/8] OTPS » james potter and lily evans

she was a very pretty woman. she had dark red hair and her eyes – her eyes are just like mine, harry thought, edging a little closer to the glass. bright green – exactly the same shape, but then he noticed that she was crying; smiling, but crying at the same time. the tall, thin, black-haired man standing next to her put his arm around her. he wore glasses, and his hair was very untidy. it stuck up at the back, just like harry’s did. harry was so close to the mirror now that his nose was nearly touching that of his reflection. ‘mum?’ he whispered. ‘dad?’

“You look nice.” James says from the doorway, in the understatement of the year, . Lily wheels around, still grasping at the zipper at the back of her dress. 

“Oh.” She smiles, and she’s wearing lipstick. “Cheers.”

“Wasn’t aware Slug Club was so fancy.” If he’d had any idea she would have looked like this he would’ve actually accepted those invitations sooner than sixth year. Well. Some of them, at least. Slughorn is boring.

“It isn’t usually. It’s his birthday and he’s doing a dinner thing.” She finally manages with the zipper, “and its not really a Slug thing since only Hollis and I were invited.” 

“Ah.” Her dress has this high neckline, almost to her throat, but he can just see the edge of her collarbone. She’s fiddling with some bag on the table. 

“You sure you want me to come to this?” he is quite massively under-dressed, as his jeans prove. He’s never seen Lily in a dress before.

“What?” she’s distracted, “Of course you’re going, I’ll die of boredom if you don’t come.” she straightens up, holding her bag, and looks at him. “Do I have lipstick on my face?” 

“No.” he offers helpfully. She looks unspeakably pretty. She smiles. Oh God he thinks, weakly. 

“Brilliant.” She walks towards him, “Let’s go.”

Swipe Right, Swing Left

The unspoken rule of using dating apps in D.C. is that you always start with where you work.

James Potter, it seems, never picked up on that one.

Lily has a bad habit of browsing Tinder on her commute home everyday.

She can’t help it - she needs something to do on those long rides, and working on the Metro got knocked clear off the table the one time she lost track of time while writing a press release for one of the bills McGonagall was planning to introduce and ended up in fucking Shady Grove.

So she contents herself to scrolling through pictures of men and mindlessly swiping.

It’s actually kind of nice, doing something without thinking about it. She’s been working herself to death recently - the closer that they get to the election, the more time she has to spend making sure that every little thing is done perfectly.

It doesn’t help that she’s currently working comms on both the senate and campaign side, and election laws are ridiculously strict about the divisions between the two - which means Lily spends a lot of after-hour time doing campaign work in increasingly odd locations.

She wrote a press advisory at 2 a.m. in a random McDonald’s last week.

So she lets herself have these Metro rides as time that is solidly not work-related in the slightest, and that has manifested itself in a minor addiction to using Tinder.

“Wow,” Marlene admired under her breath along with many other female students in the class. At once, she began to scratch off her half finished reply, writing something else instead. …I found the perfect candidate to give you that snogging (and more) you desperately need. Hint: he is standing in front of you. “‘Evening,” he said to the class once it was time to begin. “My name’s James Potter and I’m one of Professor McGonagall’s assistants.” And his name rhymes with Pames Jotter, she added.
