This is my idea of how James and Lily get together. I don't own them or
anything else you recognize. It is all JKR's and she can have it!

Summary and Background info for this story: Lily and James are Head Boy and Girl, at the beginning of the year they both decided to try to civil to one another. Though James has feelings for Lily there has always been animosity between them. It is now May of their Seventh year, and through different circumstances they have become friendly toward one another, not friends but they can mutually stand one anothers presence. ...............
After the Quidditch final, where Griffyndor won 340 to 200 against Slytherine, no one expected a quiet night. The Head Boy and Girl along with all the Prefects had to patrol extra late. Students were seen running to and from empty class rooms and to the kitchens for late night party snacks. By around 2 a.m. they had settled down and James told the Prefects they could go to their common rooms while he and Lily planned to stake out a frequented hallway. After sitting for half an hour Lily had started to drift off to sleep. James was still wide awake, the rush was still with him from the game and he didn't feel like sleeping.
He took the liberty to watch the sleeping Lily, he couldn't remember if it was first or second year that he fell for her but he did remember how glad he felt when they called a truce this year. All through school she hated him because he was aroggant, he could not blame her either. He liked her but her attitude towards him aggrivated him so, that he could not help but fight with her. Finally in sixth year, he decided that he should try to be nicer if he ever wanted to get on her good side. He started to ignore Snape, and called him Snape. He was humble, well, as humble as he could be. He stopped dating girls he didn't care about and he started helping younger Griffyndors with their homework. He thought he was doing good, and he was, Lily was civil to him and he thought they were even close to becoming friends. However, he still loved her and wanted nothing more than for her to love him back.
So he was reduced to watching her while she slept. She breathed in the cool air that filled the castle and didn't stir until a loud clanking noise provided by Peeves woke her. "Peeves!" she yelled sleepily. She looked up with tired eyes to see James smiling at her. "What?" she asked as he moved closer to help her sit up straight.
"Nothing," he paused, feeling daring he almost whispered "you know your cute when you sleep. You wiggle your nose like a bunny." he laughed a deep laugh softly.
Lily didn't quite know what to say to that, his voice was quite and it seemed so intimate she was thrown. All she could say was, "well, at least I don't snore." She was not uncomfortable with the mood just not used to it. The James she had gotten to know over the past two years was a friendly James who was only interested in friendship. He hadn't metioned anything else for years. She liked "friendly- James," she could deal with him, knew how to keep him in check. This other James was new to her and she was not sure of what to make of him.
Lily sat up straight against the wall and breathed in more cool air. It seemed to wake her up, only a little though. "aren't you tired yet?" she asked him. She only got a grunt in response. "well, I am." she stated and as if to prove her point she yawned.
Lily was looking straight ahead at some curtains dancing in the wind, James was still looking at her. They were so close, shoulders touching only air between them. He could feel that Griffyndor bravey flowing through him, his mind was reeling, he had to do something. He was alone with her, in the middle of the night and he loved her. So with the courage of a furocious lion he slowly moved his arm around her back and layed her head on his shoulder. Amazingly she did not move it, he breathed a sigh of relief. 'Good, he thought, 'this is good. Well done Prongs.' Then she nuzzled against him to get more comfortable and he froze. 'WHOA!' his mind screamed ' I can't move! not good! James do something- say something'
"James?" she asked, her voice quiet and just as intimate as his had been earlier.
"uhmph" he said in response. 'Good you made a noise, that's progress'
She lifted her head and looked around the halls then right back at James who was breathing heavily with wild eyes. "I wanted you to know that I know about Remus."
James stopped breathing.
Author's note: Ha! Not really a cliff-hanger but still. I hope you enjoy it so far. One more chapter to go.
