"Well, not because you're a girl persay..." Sirius pondered, sitting down at the table and staring up at her. He didn't even attempt to to take his bag from her. It wasn't that he actually believed she couldn't handle it, or that she was a girl, it was more a mark of friendship with his fellow Marauders, that he wasn't going to show her. He grinned, knowing that the Marauder's map, and the notebook itself, wouldn't show their information to just anyone, though it would be bad for Pince to fun the dozen dung bombs and other joke goodies in his back and have it confinscated with the map and the plans still in it. He didn't care much about the bag, just that notebook and bit of parchment. "By all means, have a go into my bag."<br/><br/>Sirius smiled at her, resting his head on his hand. "Of course, I won't be sharing with you what everything is for, you'll have to take that up with Prongsey."<br/><br/>Lily continued to contemplate James with that tilted head of her's, eyes purely curious. She listened intently, nodding along to his words to show she was doing so. She kept her attention focused to his eyes and his voice, drinking in both of them. Her head tilted the otherway suddenly, as though she had come to a conclusion while he was speaking, and then, it tilted again, as though unsure of whether she was sure about her conclusion or not.<br/><br/>When James had gone silent, Lily kept staring. She didn't say a word, however, instead, she scooted forward on the large windowsill and let her other leg fall over the edge, sitting sideways with her back to the window, letting both legs dangle. She tugged the curtains closed, blocking herself and his top half from the veiw of the others in the common room and then she leaned. She raised her hand, as though to hit him, but instead, it gently came to cup his cheek and she ever so hesitently and shyly, gave him the smallest of pecks on his cheek.<br/><br/>As soon as she had done it, she sat up, her face a brilliant scarlet and looked down at her lap, her hands twisting together there, long red locks falling to hide her face from him. She opened her mouth, and the sound of air minus words came tumbling out, as though she were trying to speak and couldn't quite get up the nerve to do so.
