Meanwhile, Dorcas was happily sitting on her bed reading a brand new romance novel she had borrowed from the library earlier that day when the door creaked open softly.

"Dorcas? You asleep yet?" lily whispered afraid to wake Dorcas as it was very late at night

"LILY! Where have you been? How was it? What did you do? Did you guys kiss? Was he sweet? Did you have fun? So do you think you like him? When are you going out next? Where do-"Dorcas didn't get to finish her sentence as she was cut off by a giggling lily so started to answer her question

"Dorcas calm down!" Lily exclaimed.

"One question at a time… but first I shall tell you of our date"

Lily then told Dorcas of the truly magical night upon which she had embarked.

"Well, here's how I remember it…." Lily said as she couldn't' help but have a huge smile emerge upon her face at the memory.

O.o.o.O

Lily waited nervously upon a seat in the Gryffindor Common room. She had put on a nice simple dress that her mum had gotten her a while back. It would be an understatement to say that Lily was nervous. What if he forgot? Or what if he decided it wasn't worth it anymore? As if right on cue to stop Lily from thinking such ridiculous things, James suddenly appeared.

"Lily, you look wonderful" James offered kindly as if to soothe the worries that had previously plagued her mind. At this point Lily could not pull together coherent sentences so all she could give in return for his sweet comment was a small but still nervous smile. James was dressed nicely for his long awaited date with Lily. He wore a nice pair of jeans and a button down shirt which could be seen underneath his dark blue sweater.

"Well shall we go?"

"Mmhmm" Lily nodded.

With a few twists and turns along the way, before she knew it James had led her to a beautiful part of Hogmeade she had never seen before. It was beautiful in the night-time with the bright light garnishing every store front. Her eyes were wide with amazement as James had started to lead her through then wide streets.

They then proceeded to step into the three broomsticks where James had treated the pair to a butter beer. They laughed and made small talk of their day. After the Butter beers had warmed them up James and lily decided to walk on over to Honeydukes to pick up a few sweets for Dorcas and lily's night in. James, being the gentleman that he had recently turned into refused to let Lily pay for anything.

"Choose anything you want. It's on me" James had said before they entered the bright shop. Lily blushed at his newly found dapper and kind mannerisms. As they walked out of honeydukes, soft music could be heard in the background.

"Do you hear that? It's beautiful. Can you hear it James, the music?" lily asked

James could only chuckle at her child-like antics and he pulled her closer. They pair started to dance outside, along the streets of Hogsmeade. Both were happy with their lives at that point. At that point, everything was perfect. They laughed as they danced along to the soft music which was barely audible. But James and Lily didn't care, they were having fun and that is all that mattered.

"James, it's getting late. We should head back to Hogwarts don't you think?" Lily asked worried she might get punished for being out after dark despite the fact that James had assured her many times that he had been granted clearance from Dumbledore himself.

"Alright then love…" James froze. Rats. He had just called Lily love. Was it too soon? Oh Merlin what if I scare her off? And she never wants to go out with me again? What if she breaks up with me? What if she realises I am just the same old James she has hated for the past five years? James couldn't help but worry but his worries were diminished the moment he felt Lily relax and lean inwardly into his arms. They walked back to Hogwarts together just like that. James and lily were official

O.o.o.O

"And that my dear Dorcas is how I remember it…" lily finished up her story with a glint in her eyes, Excited at the prospect of her life at this point. Yep, lily Evans was moving up in the world. She was Happy for once since Serverus and her had gone their separate ways. And who know that the one thing that was making her happy was the person she had loathed for the past five years, James Potter.
