Thanx and enjoy!

The Head Girl walked through the crowded corridors of her school on her way to her N.E.W.T. potions with her two of her besties on either side. Over the past week an announce interrupted the usual school week. A ball was being held on Christmas Eve night for students who wished to attend. This huge hand full of students of course included was Lily Evans and her two friends.

The trio continued to walk the halls, dodging the occasional dung bomb thrown from peeves when a familiar voice caught the redhead's attention.

Lily turned to face the raven-haired boy her eyes full of hatred.

'What do you want Potter?' she spat as James approached with his friends in suite.

'Just one thing, Evans,' James replied causing Lily to raised an eyebrow, 'Wouldyou liketo comewith meto theball?'

The sentence came out as a complete mumbled, 'What? Sorry I didn't catch that.'

James gave his friends a quick glace before turning his full attention to the Head Girl at front of him, 'Would you like to go to, to the ball with me?'

The redhead's face turned a fiery red covering most of her face, 'ME GO TO THE BALL, WITH YOU, YOU PIG HEADED GIT?' she yelled causing many heads to turn.

'Lily please,' he boy pleaded, 'Why do you hate me so much? What did I ever do to you for you to yell at me with so much hate?' he asked. He was loosing it. Lily was his dream girl from the moment he set eyes on her and yet she was quite different.

'Please! Do you want to know why I never said yes to you?' she yelled, 'Really? OK Potter you will once and for all know how I feel about you and hopefully it will sink into your overly thick head! Number one:,' she fingered them off her list, 'You have always made my life a living hell! Number two: You only think about yourself and don't care what you say might actually hurt people physically or emotionally! Number three: Hexing people for no apparent reason…' she continued this for what felt like hours, James widening every few seconds and trying to butt in only for Lily to raised her hand, ' and Number ninety-nine: For sending me one of the most beautiful bouquet of lilies I have ever received!,' she said placing a quick peck on his cheek before making her way to potions, 'Thank you.' She said turning away.

James was frozen still to the ground, he wasn't excepting that. He turned to face his friends whose mouths were hanging open in shocked. Remus however was the first to recover, 'What are you waiting for? Go after her!' James' friend smiled nudging the boy forward.

'Yea mate, go before someone else does!' Sirius said pushing his friend forward also. James nodded and ran to catch up with the Lily.

'Hello James' she answered casually causing the boy to blush to the ears.

'Um, Evans…'

'You mean Lily?' she corrected.

'Er yea, Um, Lily would you like to go to the ball with me?' he asked directing his gaze down towards his feet.

Lily smiled at the boy at front of her and nodded, 'I thought you would never ask!' placing her arms around his neck. The pair smiled at each other till the sound of the bell interrupted the pair.

'What! I haven't had any lunch yet!' wined Sirius patting his stomach which grumbled in response.

'Shut up Padfoot!'

'Shut up Black!'

'Fine! Then it's not my fault if the air suddenly smells of rotten dung glue!' he yelled back causing everyone in the ten metre radius of the teen to run as far as their legs would carry them to safety with the two Heads holding hands.
