Despite the awkwardness that Lily was feeling she was pretty sure that this was even more awkward for James. Getting punched in the face...by a girl. He'd probably have to make up some grand story to explain his nose tomorrow. Probably something like he saved Lily from the whomping willow or something. But she didn't care, she and he would both know the truth and that would be enough.
Lily tried to ignore the tingle when James's hand slightly brushed hers when he took the ice. She noticed he wasn't looking her in the eyes and she some how found that...absolutely adorable. How could she not have noticed that he liked her before. She thought all those exclamations of love or asking on dates was him trying to be funny or teasing her. But he had been serious? Her heart soared at the thought and she says the rush of emotions caused her to do what she did next. She took his hand and pulled the ice away from his nose so nothing would block her when she pressed her lips to his.
