'Marianne, wait up!' Lily shouted.
Marianne, Lily's long time friend, was meeting her in Diagon Alley to buy their last year of school supplies. Marianne turned when she heard her name being called.
'Lily! It's so wonderful to finally see you again!'
'You too. Let's get shopping, shall we?' Lily said.
'We shall.' Mary replied. The girls went off giggling and not being able to wait to spend galleons and sickles and knuts.
Meanwhile...
James sat with Remus and Sirius at the ice cream parlor.
'Why don't you go over and talk to her?' Remus sounded annoyed.
'What's the harm it could do?' Sirius asked.
'I don't know, it could damage our friendship??' James replied questionably.
'Oh, come, on.' Remus was annoyed. 'That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard of.'
'I'll talk to her at school.' James hoped they would get off his back.
'No you won't. Whenever you say you will, you never actually do.' Sirius stated. 'Besides, your undying love for The Flower cannot hold out any longer.' He continued, trying and succeeding in getting a laugh from the others.
'Well, then when I next see her.' James stated matter-of-factly.
'We'll make it a point that you do.' Remus said.
Sirius nodded his head to show that he would make sure of it.
Lily walked with Marianne heading toward Flourish and Blott's. They were about to pass by the ice cream parlor, but they stopped in front of Remus, Sirius, and James' table.
'Hello, Remus, Sirius, oh, hi, James.' Lily blushed when she realized James was there too.
Remus nudged Sirius. He nudged him back. Then Remus nudged James. (A/N sorry so much nudging...)
'Oh, uh, uh, hi. Lily.' James managed to get out.
'Nice, to, uh, um,' Lily couldn't manage to find her words.
'Nice to see you, too.' James finished.
Lily blushed bright red. She flipped her hair from her shoulder and made James' stomach give a flop.
Marianne butted in. 'We've got to go. We still have more money to spend.'
Lily didn't want to go, but she gave in to her friend.
Remus nudged James even harder than he did the last time.
'Ow, would you quit it.' James said.
'No, I won't. Not until you go and talk to her. Now.' Remus nudged him again. Hard.
'Ow!!' James almost screamed. 'Fine. I'll go.'
James worked up the courage of a lion (A/N about as much as the lion in the Wizard of Oz had in the beginning) to go and talk to her. He could not believe that he was doing this. There was no way she liked him back.
They were already in Flourish and Blott's. James spotted Lily and pulled her over into a corner.
'What's going on?' Lily questioned.
'Lily, can I ask you something?' James wondered.
'Anything.' She replied.
James was about to say what he had wanted to say, and he did.
'Lily, will you consider going out sometime, with me?' James sounded like he was on pins and needles. And yet, even though he wasn't his feet most certainly felt like it. Lily was about to answer when James fainted.
