Two Students

Snow was falling on Hogwarts grounds, frosting windows and towers. One could shield themselves from the cold by ducking into the warm corridors or sitting by the fire in their common room.

Today, however, was the exception.

Today was the first Hogsmede trip of December, and everyone was excited. While most were on the grounds, their cheeks pink with cold as they left, others were already there, either picking out sweets in HoneyDukes or sitting in the Three Broomsticks drinking warm butter beer. First and seconds years stayed outside playing in the snow. It seemed all students of Hogwarts were either outside or at Hogsmede. Except one. Tucked in an armchair in a corner of the library with a Charms book on their lap sat a girl with a small, curved frame, dark red hair, and emerald green eyes. A Head Girl badge was pinned to her chest, and she twirled her wand in between her fingers as if she was practicing the charms. Lily Evans did not want to go to Hogsmede. On Hogsmede days, she preferred being the only student inside Hogwarts.

Soon there would be two.

A tall, dark messy haired boy with glasses tightened his scarf around his neck, bracing himself against the cold. He was a seeker, not to mention charming, talented, smart, and one of the Marauders at Hogwarts, a group of four boys who played practical jokes on people because they could.

"Hey Prongs, where are you going?" A voice shouted behind him. The boy turned around to face his best mate "To find Evans of course. Don't wait up for me." He smirked and winked before turning back to the direction of the castle.

Lily Evans was the center of his whole world, the one person that made his heart leap every time he saw her, and the one who he never gave up on, no matter what.

She knew that of course, but didn't return the affection.

On the contrary, she had often said she disliked him and his friends, disappointed that they used their magical talent for playing practical jokes and hexing people for fun, including her former dear friend, Snivellus. But the boy knew that one day, he would convince her that she did in fact, feel the same way. He had tried since third year, and every year, every Hogsmede trip, the answer was always no. But now, in their seventh year, she would see, one day, she would see.

The boy entered the library, tucking a strand of dark hair out of his eyes and straightening his Head Boy badge. Ducking behind a bookshelf, he searched the large room before he found what he was looking for: a glimpse of wavy red hair. He straightened himself up, put on his award winning grin, and strolled confidently up to her. "Hey Evans." He greeted, flopping down onto the armchair beside her. "James Potter what on Earth do you want?" James smirked at her. "The same thing I want every day Evans. For you to go to Hogsmede with me. What do you say?" He winked at her, nearly making Lily gag. It's not that she hated James, but he had an over confident, arrogant air about him, and he and his friends bullied people for their own enjoyment. That bothered her to no end. 'After four years,' she thought, 'you'd think he'd give up. "James I've told you no. I don't like you and that's that." Though being Head Boy and Head Girl and sharing the same dormitory had brought them to be civilized to one another, old habits still came through. "Oh come on, you can't mean that." He said, turning to stare into her beautiful emerald eyes. Lily frowned. "I do." "Come on Evans, if not for me than for Moony, he misses your patrols." James folded his hands behind his head and smiled, leaning back into the chair. He had hit Lily's weak spot.

Lily swallowed. Remus Lupin, one of James's friends, had been a prefect with her and as they had often patrolled together, became her friend. Though she still disliked the Marauders, Remus was a smart, kind boy, and he was the one she could tolerate. Lily faltered. "I don't know..." "Please Lily." James's dark eyes became pleading, as if he was a child begging for candy. Lily was slightly taken aback. This, she realized, was one of the few times he had called her by her first name. The only time he did was when he really wanted or needed something. "James I have Charms homework I can't." But James was determined. He almost had her. He wouldn't let her slip through his fingers this time. "I'll help." He offered. Lily searched for some type of fault in this offer, but she couldn't. James was smart, and it wasn't often that he helped her. Besides, he had tried awful hard.

She eventually sighed. "On ONE condition." James stood upright. "Anything!" Lily smirked. "I use the shower first in the bathroom from now on. I can't stand you leaving everything so untidy." "Done." He said automatically, his heart soaring. "Remember James, it's only for Remus." "Sure sure I know." He said, oblivious to what she was saying as he helped her put on her cloak and scarf. Lily Evans had finally agreed to go to Hogsmede with him! Since they were thirteen every time the answer was no, but now, finally! All his dreams had come true. It didn't matter that he had said it was for Moony when it was secretly for him. He was going out with Lily Evans! The girl he vied for the most. "Blimey Evans, it took you bloody well long enough." Lily narrowed her eyes at him. "You're just lucky that I have a soft spot for Remus." Winking, James held out his arm. Surprised at this gentleman-like offer, Lily took it, slightly smiling. And that smile, James thought, was good enough for him. With that, the only two students remaining in Hogwarts left, leaving the large castle completely empty.

(A/N): did you guys like it? Shocked that Lily finally gave James a chance? Just you wait, it gets better. There's Snape, hugs, hexes and more! And yes, I made Molly Weasly one of her friends. Idk when she went to school so I put it in here. Dont sue me!

And for you starkids, am I the only one who thinks of Brian Rosenthal when I read James's parts? review please!

Hugs and Butterfly Kisses, Sam :D
