Marauder Era, Lily & James, Sixth Year

Lily's POV

There he is, the git himself, coming over here again. Avada Kedavra me now, will you? "Quick, hide me!" I whisper to Alice. If he asks me out one more time, I swear I will punch him straight in the gut. Or the eye. Which do you think would be more satisfying? I dunno, either way.

Alice's POV

Oh geez, here he comes again. I seriously hope Lily doesn't make a scene again. Oh darn. "Quick, hide me!" she whispers. Wonderful. I quickly stand up and move out of the way. I do NOT want to get involved in this one.

Remus' POV

Oh no. it's James again, going over to ask Lily out. Is it too much to ask just for ONE peaceful breakfast in the Great Hall? I think not, but I guess Lady Luck thinks otherwise. Oh well. Might as well see who wins this one. Wait- why even wonder? It always ends with Lily punching, hexing, cursing, etc. James into oblivion.

Dumbledore's POV

Well, at least the entertainment is free. What would we do without those two?

Remus' POV

Great, he's asking… oh no, she's standing up… I'm leaving now…

James' POV

The last I hear is Alice groaning, the last thing I see is the gorgeous skin on her hand… and then it's black.

"Ow," Sirius winced, "what'd you do to her this time? Or, more accurately, what did SHE do to YOU?"

"I'd rather not say," James replied, wincing as he rubbed his sore eye.

"C'mon, I'm your best mate!"

"No."

"Are you serious?!"

Remus walked in just in time to hear Sirius's last exclamation.

"No, actually mate, I believe that's you."

Sirius growled, and stalked off.

"What was that all about, Prongs?"

"Nothing," James said, a little too quickly.

"Yeah right, and Dumbledore's marrying McGonagall next week."

"WHAT?!"

"Kidding. Here, lemme help you with that eye." Grabbing a tube of paste from his pocket and dabbing a bit onto his finger, Lupin continued, "This doesn't have to do with Lily, does it?"

"No."

"Right, o-kaay, what happened this time," the werewolf asked.

"Uh… Iaskedheroutandshepunchedme."

"Er…what was that last bit?"

"I ASKED HER OUT AND SHE PUNCHED ME!" James, accidentally, yelled.

The Gryffindor common room fell silent.

"Wow, Prongs, that was lovely. I couldn't quite catch that. A bit louder, ple-"

A well-aimed toungue-tying hex shut little Peter Pettigrew up.

Remus quickly undid the charm.

Peter- "What was that for?!?"

"Lily, you really shouldn't have done that!" Alice, her best friend, said.

"I know, and I don't care! HE really shouldn't have done that, either, and anyways, it was fun!"

"Seriously, Lily, after all these years, can't you give him a chance without punching him in the gut, or the eye, or the-"

"Seriously, Alice, can't you see that he's just still an annoying git?" Lily retorted, tossing her hair over her shoulder, "And every time he tosses around that stupid Snitch, or runs his hands through his hair, it just reminds me even MORE how much I hate him. It makes me want to-"

"-fall into a day dream about his gorgeous hazel eyes?"

"Ali, just because you're my best friend, doesn't refrain me from hexing you into nothingness! And thank you for the input, but, actually, surprisingly, I was going to say 'vomit'."

"If you says so."
