Eyes

James sprinted away from the scene of the crime. It was a matter of seconds until Professor McGonagall reached the Slytherin Common Room. James knew he would eventually get into trouble, but it'd look less obvious if he wasn't there to begin with. Doing pranks solo wasn't the best option when bored of out ones mind.

"Who did this?" James heard McGonagall ask. James winced at the Transfiguration Professor's authoritative voice. Maybe he shouldn't have picked today to fill the Slytherin Common Room with jelly. McGonagall was still angry at him and the rest of the Marauders for charming all the tables to dance in yesterdays lesson.

"Potter left like a second ago in that direction," Snape's slimy voice spat out angrily.

James panicked and ran into a random corridor nearly knocking someone over. "I'm so sorry...Lily?" Just his luck.

Footstep could be heard metres away. James eyes widened dramatically.

"Potter! What do you-" Lily began shouting as she realised it was James that ran into her.

James didn't think, he covered Lily's mouth with his hands and slipped into the nearest broomstick cupboard. Which coincidentally also managed to have the smallest amount of space.

Lily was boxed in between his arms. She glared at him angrily, she was going to be late to her next class. Granted, History of Magic wasn't the most interesting class but it was the principle of the matter.

"Please, please, please, please be quiet," James murmured softly, his eyes pleading not to hand him over to McGonagall.

Lily really hated his eyes. They were hypnotising swirls of hazel that held some unknown power over most of the female population. Including her Lily admitted grudgingly. They brightened and dulled depending on his mood, his eyes never lied. His eyes at the moment were a mix of bright golden specks against a dark cloud of hazel. Lily kept looking directly into James's eyes not realising she was staring.

Then mischief sparkled within them.

"It's rude to stare Miss. Evans," James's cheeky voice whispered slashing the silence around them. His face was closer than it had been a minute ago. Her eyes widened when she realised she unconsciously leant forward while looking into his eyes. Lily pushed herself against the wall trying to put some distance between them. But thanks to the small amount of room they had, there was not much she could do.

Lily quickly averted her eyes. There was no way she could lie her way out of this situation. "One more comment I will shove you out his closet," Lily muttered chagrined. 'Stupid pretty hazel eyes' Lily frustratedly reflected.

James may have stopped talking, but he leaned in closer to Lily. His warm musky James-like scent wrapped around them like a cocoon. His lips formed a grin full of playfulness and teasing. Lily stood there helpless against the full form of the Potter charm. Truthfully he began wearing her resistance down from last year...James definitely didn't need to know that. Lily didn't breath in fear of any gratifying sounds coming out of her mouth.

Footsteps outside got louder each moment.

James kept leaning in. His eyes bright, vivid...and hopeful?

Lily was immersed in the swirling patterns that his hazel eyes made. What were they trying to say?

When suddenly, "PRONGS! WHY ARE YOU HERE WITH LI-" Sirius's jaw dropped as his eyes swept the scene in front of him. James pressed up against Lily...and about to kiss her. Lily wasn't pushing him away.

Both of them pulled apart quickly. Their eyes stunned on the thought of what they were about to do. Red blushes erupting on both their faces.

"I...er...umh..." Lily mumbled out, "I have to go now." Lily scampered away as fast as humanely possible.

'Stupid, stupid pretty hazel eyes.' Lily thought.

Five seconds later the corridor echoed with a loud thwack followed by a "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU PADFOOT!"
