Rule Number 10: Never Let it Go To Your Heart

Lily smiled to herself two Saturday after Hogsmeade with James. Amelia and Dorcas were looking at her oddly. As was Sirius and Peter to James (Remus knew about the date before hand). She stared out the window, James was outside practicing for the big Quidditch match they were having in one hour's time. She smiled spite it all. James was really different towards her. Now that he knew that him showing off was also a turn off.

Those two weeks had been awkward for their relationship, yes. But they were both feeling extremely better, and it was as though they held a secret now. She didn't know how to break the news to Amelia and Dorcas. She wanted to date James. She knew that now, and was willing to admit it. Though she was still afraid to speak to James, and to speak to the Marauders; that wouldn't stop her from going to his Quidditch match this afternoon.

Sixth year was coming to a close, but she smiled. She and James were better, their relationship was going somewhere. When she looked down at the Quidditch pitch she saw people enter the stadium. Slowly, she got up and left with the other Gryffindors. As she walked her mind fell on this morning before James left the Great Hall to practice.

~*~*~*~*Flash Back*~*~*~*~

Lily yawned sitting down next to Amelia and across from Dorcas. As her friends talked about boys, school and make up, Lily watched James out of the corner of her eye. He was staring at her with a slight grin on his face. When she caught his eye she stood up.

"I left my scarf in the dorm; I'll meet you down here, okay?"

But Amelia and Dorcas waved their hands impatiently then returned to their conversation. Lily walked out of the Great Hall, into the Entrance Hall, where she waited for James. He came striding in two minutes after her, with Sirius on his heels.

"I'll catch up with you in a minute, Padfoot," James said quickly then turned to Lily. Neither noticed Sirius watching them from the corridors end.

"Hi James," Lily said smiling. "Good luck today."

"Thanks! You're coming today right?" he stepped closer.

"Yes," she said smiling as he wrapped his arms around her. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"I'll score one hundred goals for you," he promise, leaning in for the kiss. Their lips touched and both felt that familiar ping in their stomach. Lily ran a hand through his hair.

"I've been thinking James," Lily began truthfully looking into his hazel eyes as the kiss ended. "I-"

"Hey James!" called Fabian Prewett. "We better get going, eh?"

James reluctantly dropped his hold around Lily.

"Can we talk about it after the Quidditch match?" he begged.

"Of course," she leaned and kissed his cheek. "Be careful."

Fabian, along with Kingsley Shacklebolt pulled him away and Sirius was, for once in his life, silent.

~*~*~*~*End*~*~*~*~

Lily smiled again. In fact, she couldn't stop smiling. And she didn't bother to answer anyone when they asked her what's up. Her feelings had grown stronger with the secret meetings, passionate kissing, and hidden smiles. She had done what she promised herself she never would. She had fallen for James Potter.

Everything about him struck her fancy. The way his smile was contagious, the way he messed up his untidy hair, the way he laughed. Everything. His hazel eyes where more open then her own green ones, which she thought was impossible. He made anything funny and she loved him for that. Love. She needed to let him know. Right now. Well, after the match. She had fallen in love with him.

She got to the stands quickly and sat down, looking for James. He was standing down on the field with his broom over his shoulder talking intently to his teammates. Sirius spotted her and pointed her out to James. He looked at her and smiled and Frank Longbottom got his attention back on Quidditch.

"And now for your Gryffindor starting line up!" a voice rang throughout the stadium. Amos Diggory, a seventh year Hufflepuff was announcing the game between Ravenclaw and Gryffindor.

"Chasers Emmeline Vance, Marlene McKinnon and Captain James Potter!"

James did a lap around the field behind his two fellow chasers then flew to the middle of the pitch.

"Beaters Kingsley Shaklebolt and Sirius Black! Keeper Frank Longbottom and Seeker Fabian Prewett!"

When all the teams were in position the Quaffle was tossed in the air and quickly grabbed by James. He flew in and out of the Ravenclaw Chasers, and dodged a bludger. Then he passed it to Marlene who passed it back and he scored through the left goal post.

"Gryffindor has done extremely well this season. In fact, with this win they win the Quidditch cup, going five and zero. With Captain Potter they have a very good chance," Amos' voice filled the stadium, and the Slytherins booed.

James put in another goal, after receiving the Quaffle from Emmeline and nodded towards the commentator.

"I have been requested by James Potter, to give out this information. He wants to say that every time he scores a goal, it's for his number one girl: Lily Evans."

Lily couldn't help but smile, no, she was beaming with joy. James Potter's number one girl. Her heart did a back flip and she half wanted to get a broom and fly out there to tell him.

Unfortunately, the game went by slowly. James scored sixteen goals total, which is more then the whole Ravenclaw team put together.

"Number one girl?" came Amelia's voice.

"Yes," Lily snapped. "What's up?"

"You tell us what's up! So you don't care about the rules you made?" Dorcas yelled.

"People change! Rules are not always meant to be kept!"

"And you're not supposed to date James Potter!"

"I'm not dating James! We went out once… ONCE!" Lily said irritably.

"But you wouldn't mind being James Potter's girlfriend would you?"

"Look! I'm not the most wanted girl in school anymore! It doesn't matter to me anymore! The only thing that matters is me and James! We are happy together!"

"But you're not together!"

"I don't care!" Lily looked at them and stopped yelling. "If you guys care about rules more than me then leave!"

"It's nothing like that," Amelia said lowering her voice. "It's just, we know James! He's not anything you think."

"Yes he is! He's perfect for me! I'm perfect for me! Can't you both understand that?"

"You obviously need some time alone!" said Dorcas, walking away. Amelia frowned at Lily.

"We'll talk about the rules later."

Lily nodded relunctantly. Suddenly the Gryffindors cheered. Fabian Prewett flew around the pitch, triumphantly, holding the Snitch in his hand. Sirius and James were celebrating when Lily ran down to the pitch.

"Hi," she said hugging James. "Congratulations! You were fantastic!" A little blush crept onto her face. "Thanks."

"For what?" he asked though he had a slight idea that he knew what she meant.

"For the dedications," she smiled. She had really broken all then rules now. He was in her heart now, to stay forever and always.

"Don't mention it," he kissed her softly then noticed his sweaty body against hers. "Oh! I'm sorry for getting you all dirty."

She smiled, "Don't worry about it! It's fine, honestly."

"So what did you want to say?"

Lily smiled, it was now or never. "James…"

Suddenly someone—Sirius—jumped on James' back yelling at the top of his lungs.

"TO THE BAT CAVE!"

James laughed, "I'll be there in a minute."

After five minutes of congratulations the crowd had died down and Lily was feeling nervous.

"Sorry," James said frowning. "Now that everyone's gone, we can talk."

"James…" she sighed deeply, took a deep breath and said, "I love you."

He looked momentarily frozen.

"I just…" Lily didn't know what to say. "I did all this stuff! I mean, I broke all the rules for you… and I don't regret it, one bit. You're so different then I'd ever thought you would be. And I... I love you so much."

A small tear fell down her cheek and he pulled her into a hug.

"So it's not too bold to ask you to be my girlfriend?"

Lily laughed. She felt a weight lift off her shoulder. She whispered those three words again and was quite delighted to hear them back.

"I love you, Lily Evans."

And they kissed until the sun set.
