Chapter 1: How It All Began
It was an average night at Hogwarts and Lily Evans was making her way back from the library to stumble upon none other than the famous James Potter. Ignore him was her first thought, but that was easier said than done. She could very well ignore him but him ignoring her was impossible.
"Looking as lovely as ever Evans." James said noticing Lily.
She glared at him and returned to walking towards the common room.
"If I didn't know any better I'd think you were ignoring me." he said in a way that challenged her to answer him.
"Well I'm so glad you know better." Lily said mocking him.
James laughed and changed direction so he could walk with her. He sped up his face so he could keep in time with her. Lily sighed she did not feel like dealing with Potter tonight. "What do you want?" she asked her tone frosty. James held up his hands as if to say "I'm friendly". Lily did not look at all amused. She brought her books to her chest and clutched them with all her might until her knuckles were white. She always let him get to her. She stopped in her tracks, she reasoned with herself, if he just tells me what he wants then I can save myself a walk to the common room with him. "What do you want." she repeated.
"I was just wandering whether you would like to play a game with me." he said, innocently.
"No, thank you." she replied. But inside she knew that Potter wouldn't give up until she said yes.
"Aww, come on Evans. Just one game." he reasoned with her.
"What game?" she asked politely full intending to decline whatever game it was.
"Truth and Dare." he said, trying to ignore the fact that she hadn't declined him once again.
"How do you play?" she asked trying to feign interest.
"You can choose truth, and that is where you answer a question truthfully no matter what. And dare is when you get dared to do something." James replied matter of factly.
"Hmm, no thank you." she said again. Lily turned on her heel and began to walk away. James was slightly surprised that she had declined him again. He ran after her.
"I haven't even told you who would be playing." James argued with her.
"I don't care." Lily replied.
"Let me tell you and if you really truly don't care then I won't badger you anymore." James said. It seemed fair enough to Lily once he told her who would be playing the stupid game then she could go.
"Go on then. Make it quick."
James grinned, "alright then, let's see. Remus, Sirius, Peter, Mary, Ameila, Robin, Harrietta, Snivellus, Robert, Michael and me."
No, Mary wouldn't play a game like this without myself or Anabella. She couldn't be alone with Potter for too long otherwise Merlin knows what would happen. Lily mulled the information over before finally making her decision, "I'm in."
