Year 7

"Hey, Ev – Lily," I greet her, flopping down on the chair next to her.

"Hey," she replies, bent over her homework.

"So... Um, I'm sorry about what the others did to you. The prank, I mean. I told them not to."

"It's fine," Lily replies, and she seems like she means it.

"Oh. Cool. I'm glad."

I turn to walk off, but to my surprise, I'm stopped by a perfectly manicured hand. I turn to see Lily's face inches from mine.

It was the first time Lily Evans kissed me.
