James Potter has always been a 'huggy' person, but when his hugs start giving Lily the feelings, things get a bit tricky...

Severus watches Lily fall for James. Epilogue to "A Month of Sundays" /s/5249018/1/A-Month-of-Sundays

How does Lily discover her buried feelings for James Potter? Picks up from James's and Lily's 5th year, shortly after Lily ends her friendship with Snape.

It's Christmas Eve and the holiday spirit seems to be lacking for one miserable Lily Evans. Being home for the holidays isn't all she thought it would be with a sister like Petunia. So when she finds herself unwillingly in the company of James Potter, at first she's furious. "Lily!" James exclaimed. "Happy Christmas!" "It isn't Christmas yet," she muttered. "And I'm hardly happy."

It's a challenge. One week. Lily's hanging out with the Marauders. But trying to keep up with four seventeen year old boys isn't that easy. "If I win you don't ask me out. At all. Never again." "And if I win, you're my girlfriend." This'll be interesting.

"I think you're an arrogant, selfish pig, and I think you'd be doing both of us a favor if you just left me alone!" Potter stared at me for a moment, an unreadable expression in his hazel eyes, before uttering a single word: "Okay." J/L, Lily's POV.

Lily Evans has been distracted lately…and it’s all because of James Potter and his stupid, unbuttoned shirt. Hardly any fluff, but plenty of shirtless James for everybody. Seventh year fic.
