Glimps into the future

Lily's POV

I couldn't believe that arrogant toe-rag. How many times will it take to connvince him that I'm 100% not interested. Why must he insist on asking me out every single day? It's infuriating!

"Hey Evans! Wait up!" I heared a voice shout behind me. I picked up the pace, not wanting to talk to him. James Potter was convinced that he loved me, but i knew that he only loved the chase. I was the only girl in school who told him no, repeatedly, and he enjoyed making my life a living hell with his 'romantic' gestures.

This morning he had dicided to make rose petals rain down on me as soon as I had sat down for my breakfast. I thought it was sweet at first, but so many petals where falling I ended up half burried in them.

"Go out with me Lily." he had asked when he sat down next to me. Trying, and failing, to keep a smile off his face.

"I'll go out with you when hell freezes over!" I had pratically yelled at him. His arrogent smile slipping from his face at the sharpness in my voice.

I stormed off to my first class, Potions, and sat down in my seet, glaring at Potter when he sauntered into the room. He winked at me from across the class, and my glare deepened.

James' POV

"Well that didn't go as planned." I wispered to my friends, Sirius, Remus and Peter.

"Better luck next time Prongs." Sirius muttered.

"It probably would've worked out better if she hadn't been burried alive in them." Remus said.

"You're probably right Moony." I glanced across the class room again and stared at Lily. I've fancied her for years, but last year I finally realised that I was in love with her. Only if she would give me a chance.

"I need a new plan, i've tried everything and it doesn't seem to work." i appealed to my friends for help.

"Just get her on her own and snog her. She'll be so astounded by your lac of kissing skills that she'll go on a pitty date with you for sure." Sirius laughed. I smaked him across the head.

"Not helpfull Padfoot, and she would probably jinx me into the next centery if i even tried." I glared at my friends when they started laughing.

"My I ask, gentlemen, what is so funny that it's disterbing my lesson?" Professor Slughorn, the potions master, asked us slightly amused.

"We where just trying to help old James here get the girl of his dreams." Sirius said loudly. I muttered incoherrently at him, and Slughorn sniggered.

"Yes well, can you please reafrain from scheming ways to get lovely Lily over there," he pionted to Lily who blushed scarlett and glared dangerously at us, "in my lessons."

"We'll try sir." Sirius mumbled somberly. Which caused the class, excluding Lily and I, to burst into laughter.

Lily's POV

I avoided James and the Marauders for the rest of the day. Glaring at them when ever they tried to approach me.

"Why wont you give me a chance Lily?" James asked when he managed to corner me.

"Because your an arrogant bully!" I growled at him.

"I'll get you to go out with me sooner or later." he muttered. I just glared at him. He leaned closer to me.

"Try anything, and I'll jinx you." I threatened. He looked slightly amused at this, but thought better of what ever he was going to do and backed away smiling.

i growled incoherrently under my breath and headed off to luch to meet my friends Alice, Chealsey and Malinda.

I sat down next to them warry of any traps layed in place by James to get my attention. When nothing happened I started eating.

"So, did James appologize for burring you in rose petals?" Malinda asked giggling, flicking her long blonde hair out of her eyes.

"No, he didn't. But he ask me out again! When will he get it into his thick head that I'm not going to go out with him, no matter how many times he asks me?" i asked frustraited.

"That is one of the many things that will never get through his thick head, oh lovely Lily." a sing-song voice said from behind me. I turned and glared at Sirius. Chealsey giggled at him, and he swooped down and gave her a quick, but passionate, kiss. They had been going out for the past month, and I couldn't help but smile at the big goofy grin on her face.

"Could you at least get him to stop asking me every singal day. It's getting irritating." I mumbled.

"Glad I have that affect on you Lily." James said happily, plopping down on the seat next to me. I just glared at him, and he winked in responce.

"So, what does one have to do, to get the exclusive Lily Evans to go on a date with them?" James asked me.

"How about, you leave me alone." I said sarcasticly. He chuckled and rolled his eyes.

"You should at least give him a chance Lily." Ramus said lightly, holding up his hands in surrender when i aimed my glare at him. Everyone nodded in agreement to his comment.

"Honestly Lily, you've even admitted that he's not so bad when he's not bullying people." Alice interjected. I blushed, and James face soffened.

"So why wont you give me a chance?" he asked softly.

"We've already had this cinversation today. And my answer is still the same, you are an arrogent bully, and I wouldn't go out with you if you where the last man on earth!" I pratically yelled at him and stormed out of the Great Hall.
