Author's Note: Howdy Ho! So I really liked the idea of this story, and I think I did a pretty good job pulling it off. I don't know. I hope so! Let me know what you think.

I imagined Lily as 14 or so at this point. Enjoy the story!


"Ugh! I hate him so much!" Lily Potter II stormed into the room, throwing her jacket and purse angrily on the table. "I wish he'd just get out of my life!"

Harry looked up from his paper, amused. Lily had been complaining about "him" for weeks, ever since she'd gotten back from Hogwarts. Harry was pretty sure she fancied him, but she hadn't admitted it yet. "What did he do now?" he asked her, laughter in her eyes.

"He just shows up when I least expect it! Like today, I was walking along, minding my own business, when BOOM! There he is. Starts telling me about his Great-Gran. Just when I think…" Lily trailed off, a blush creeping up her cheeks.

"Yes?" Harry prompted, eyes twinkling. "You know you can tell me anything, right Lils?"

"Yes, of course Daddy. I…I think I fancy him, Dad. And I won't talk to him for a while, and I think I'm getting over him. But like one time in May, he just smiled at me, and I started liking him all over again. It keeps happening over and over again. I get over him, and then fall all over again. And he barely knows I exist!" Lily finished her rant, tears slipping out of her eyes and down her face.

"Oh Lily. Come here." Harry said, opening his arms wide. Lily flew into them, the tears now flowing freely down her face.

"What do I do, Daddy? How do I get him to notice me?" Lily asked, rather helplessly.

"Well, Lils, you could ask him out." Harry suggested, smiling slightly. "He'd be a fool to say no to you."

"Thanks, Daddy. I don't know, though. What if he says no?" Lily asked.

"Then he's a fool, and we will sit on the couch, watch those silly movies your Aunt Hermione brings over, and eat lots of ice cream. And together, we will get over it. You will get over the rejection, and I will get over the possibility of you living in our basement forever." Harry joked, nudging her shoulder with his. Lily laughed.

"You're right, Dad. I will ask him out. Get some ice cream ready though. Thank you." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, Daddy."

"I love you too, Lils. Now go snag your man." Harry replied with a wink.

Lily ran up the stairs, and wrote a quick note.

Frank,

I fancy you. Go out with me?

Love from,

Lily Potter

She took a deep breath, and tied the note to her owl's leg. "Bring me good news, Athena." She whispered to her owl, then sent him out the window.


A few hours later, Athena returned, another note tied to her leg.

Lily-

I was just about to ask you that myself. Of course. What are you doing Friday night?

Love, Frank

Harry was in the family room, playing chess with Al while James and Ginny read nearby. They heard a scream of delight come from Lily's room, and they all looked up, Harry grinning.

"Lily have a new boyfriend then, Dad?" James asked, rolling his eyes.

"I guess so." Harry said, a glint in his eyes. "Are you two going to handle the concerned male family member talk on this one, or shall I?"

"Who is he?" Al asked, taking Harry's queen.

"Frank Longbottom." Harry replied, capturing one of Al's rooks.

"Oh, trust me Dad. We got this one." James said, exchanging looks with Al.

"Yeah, he'll be peeing his pants by the time we're done with him!" exclaimed Al enthusiastically.

"Excellent." Harry said.

Ginny rolled her eyes at the lot of them. "Honestly!"

Harry sighed as Al won the game. "Good game, Al. I'm going to go send Neville a letter…invite the Longbottom's over for dinner, or something. Gotta give the boy's a chance to give Frank the talk." He said with a wink.

As he made his way up to his study, he stopped by Lily's room. She was dancing around, clutching a letter in her hand.

"Good news I take it?" He asked, smiling.

"Oh Dad, the best! Thank you so much! Without you, none of this wouldn't have happened!" Lily threw herself at her father, hugging him tightly.

"It was my pleasure, Lily. I was on my way to invite the Longbottoms to dinner. Sound like a plan?"

"Sure Daddy. Just don't scare Frank too bad, okay?"

"Sure, Lily. I won't. Can't make any promises for your brothers, though." He ran out of the room, ignoring Lily's shouts of protests. He smiled to himself as he rushed down the hall. He was glad he could make his daughter happy.
