A/N: This story has nothing to do with the other one that I wrote, Enemies Forever. This is sort of a Lily/James kind of fic when they are in their 7th year.

Now, after you read this fic, I suggest you read some of the other ones that I have listed.

Frustrated sigh

Enjoy the first chapter.

===============================================

Chapter 1

The letter.

==============================================

Lily was sitting on the couch in the living room reading a book, when a brown owl flew in through the living room window and dropped a package on Lily's lap. Petunia, who had just come into the living room, shrieked at the sight of the owl.

"Lily! What the hell is that stupid bird doing here! Go, go!"

The owl saw petunia, gave a small hoot of hurt and flew back out again.

Lily looked at Petunia. "Just because you don't like birds doesn't mean that you have the right to make them go away."

"Whatever." Petunia marched right back upstairs to her room.

When Petunia was gone, Lily opened the letter. It was a letter from Hogwarts with the usual reminder and booklist. But this time, there was also another piece of parchment. Lily read it and gasped. She was going to be Head Girl. There was also the shiny badge that was enclosed with the letter.

I wonder who Head Boy, thought Lily. It's probably Remus. He was a prefect, like her and he was very nice. He was also cute and didn't really enjoy playing tricks on people, unlike that show-off, Potter. She had to admit, she did sort off like him (James), he was really really really cute, but she knew that she would never go out with him unless he changed. But what was the chance that he would change? Less than zero.

Lily went up to her room and decided to write a letter to her two best friends, Maria Orad and Stacy Dawn. She knew that Stacy was taking a vacation, so she just wrote to Maria.

Hey Maria

You would never guess what happened! I'm Head Girl. I wonder who Head Boy is though. Probably Remus Lupin. Well, anyway, how are you? I got your last letter and to answer your question, Petunia is still being mean and annoying. Not that I care much. I've learned to avoid her. She got a boyfriend, his name is Vernon Dursley and he doesn't look like the smart one. Well, I hope to see you in Diagon Alley on the last week of vacation, can you make it?

Your Friend,

Lily Evans

Lily put the letter in the envelope and motioned her brown owl, Selena, [A/N: Stupid name, I know, anybody got any others? Help! Need suggestions!] To come down from the top of her closet. She tied the letter to her owl's leg and sent her off. Then she went back down to the Living Room and continued reading her book.

=================================================

Meanwhile at James's House

=================================================

James and Sirius were playing Quidditch at James's house. James's father was a famous seeker and they had a Quidditch pitch in their back yard. They were also very rich and lived in a beautiful Mansion. "Good catch, Prongs." Sirius said, grinning. He had black hair that fell into his eyes with elegancy. He was cute and a flirt. He had gone on a date with almost every girl at Hogwarts. He even went out with Lily once, although they never hooked up. He was a beater on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Sirius had run away from home in his fourth year, so every summer, he went to stay with James.

"Wanna go get lunch?" James said. He was also handsome, with his rumpled hair and hazel eyes. Together, he and Sirius were the most popular with girls.

"Sure."

They put away their brooms and went inside. They were just about to make some sandwiches when an owl flew into the open window.

James took one good look at the owl. He knew it was from Hogwarts. The owl was carrying two letters, one for him and Sirius. James untied the letters and gave one to Sirius.

"So what's it say?"

"The usual. Hogwarts starts on blah blah blah..." said Sirius, tossing it aside.

"Same here. Except mine has another piece of parchment." James took out the other piece of parchment.

"I'm-I'm— James didn't finish.

Sirius looked at it and let out a gasp. "Head Boy? You, Head Boy? Seriously!" he started laughing.

"Well, I guess my Marauder days are over." James said mockingly.

"Yep, folks, you better watch out. James Potter has become a goody-goody. No more pranks for us." Sirius said to an invisible crowd.

Both of them laughed.

"I do wonder why Dumbledore chose me." Said James.

"Probably to try and stop you from pulling any pranks this year. Like that's gonna stop us."

"Yeah." James's mind was occupied by something else. Lily. She was probably Head Girl so he was given a chance to hang out with her or make her get to know him better. He didn't understand why she hated him so much. She had become a little nicer to us, no, she was nicer to Remus. She seemed to be trying to warm up to him last year.

"Earth to Prongs." Sirius was waving his hand in front of James's face.

"I'm back to Earth." James said.

"Good. I have some ideas for a starting of term prank for the Slitherins."

James grinned. "What supplies will we need?"

"Well, we can find all of it in Diagon Alley."

"Excellent. Except I do feel guilty planning a prank without Moony and Wormtail."

"Yeah. My ideas can wait until Hogwarts."

The two ate their sandwiches and went back out to play Quidditch.

====================================================

The visit to Diagon Alley

====================================================

The rest of lily's holidays passed by quickly. When only there was only three weeks of summer break left, she went to Diagon Alley to get the stuff that she needed. There she met her friends. [A/N: I know earlier I said that it was one week, but tyhey changed the date since I need more summer break for the stuff that I am planning.]

"Hey Maria, hey Stacy."

"Hi." They chorused back.

"It's so good to see you again. Boy, you look different." Put in Stacy, looking at Lily.

It was true. Lily had changed. She was wearing a short jean skirt with a tight sky blue top that showed off her figure. She was also wearing a little eye shadow and pink lip gloss.

"Who knew that Lily Evans would ever put on make up or care about something else besides her grades?" said Maria.

"Well, I decided that it's time I get a boyfriend." Said Lily.

"About time." Said Sirius, who had just spotted the three girls and went over to them with James, Remus, and Peter.

Remus looked at Lily. "Well, someone's been getting their beauty sleep."

Lily blushed.

Peter just mumbled a hello and James just stood there speechless. To him, Lily looked more beautiful than ever and he couldn't even string two words together. His legs turned to jelly and his stomach started doing flip flops every time he saw her. He loved her but she hated him. Too bad though, since everybody said that Lily and James would make a cute couple.

"Yeah," said Sirius. "Look, I know that you already went out with me once, but would you please go out with me again?"

Lily faked a gasp of surprise. "Oh my gosh. This is like my dream come true. I think I'm gonna faint."

Everybody laughed.

"Well, you can at least let me down easy." Said Sirius. "Or my heart would hurt forever and ever and ever...

"No it won't." James said. "You'll get over it in a second and move on to the next girl."

"True." Sirius admitted. "But if she doesn't want me, then I'm not gonna get in her way. I'll just step aside and start crying."

"Oh." Said Stacy who had a crush on Sirius. "And would you need someone to talk to about it? Cause if you do, I'm here for you."

Sirius looked at Stacy. "Sure, babe. I'd like that."

Stacy blushed. She didn't expect that answer. Perhaps Sirius was interested in her. Probably not since he said that to all the girls. But there was a small chance of that.

"If you excuse us, we need to get our books." Said Lily. "Maria, Stacy, come on."

Stacy didn't move a muscle.

"Stacy. Stacy?" Lily waved her hand in front of Stacy's face. She didn't seem to notice. "Earth to Stacy."

"I'll do it." Said Sirius. "Stacy, how about a date to the movies with me? Just us two?"

Stacy immediately stopped daydreaming. "Sure."

"Great. Pick you up at eight."

When everybody was looking at Stacy, James quickly wrote a note and gave it to Lily. Lily was about to open it when James stopped her and signaled her, "Not right now." Lily nodded and put it in her pocket. Lily looked into James's dark blue eyes and James looked into hers. Lily seemed to sink in the sea of blue of James eyes. Lily immediately looked away, embarrassed.

"Come on, Lily, you said it yourself, we need to get going." Said Maria.

"Right. Come on. Bye guys. Sirius. Remus. James. Peter."

"Bye." They called.

Lily, Maria, and Stacy started on their shopping.

"I cannot believe this. I have a date with Sirius Black. Sirius Black! I'm so excited, what am I going to wear? I mean, I need a new outfit and everything. Maybe I should just wear that sundress and—

"Stacy, can you please stop with the Sirius mania? It's killing us." Said Lily.

"Fine. But I got a date and you didn't."

"Stacy."

"And I'm going with—

"STACY!"

"Fine, fine."

"Thank you."

"So Stacy how was your vacation?"

"It was wonderful. I went to Paris and there were so many cute guys there, you would not believe how many hotties were available."

"Sounds like you had fun."

"I sure did." Then Stacy went into a story about a guy that she dated during her two week vacation.

"Not again, more boy talk." Maria whispered to Lily. They both giggled.

"What's so funny?" said Stacy.

"Oh nothing. Please continue."

"Okay." Stacy said brightly and continued with the story.

When they were done shopping, Lily went to muggle London where she met her parents.

"Bye Lily." Called Maria and Stacy.

"Bye y'all."

When Lily got back to her house, she remembered about the note that James gave her. She got it out of her pocket and opened it.

Dear Lily, I know that you don't like me, but just hear me out. Look, I've liked you for a long time so would you go out with me? Just this once. Owl me with your answer. Nobody will know about this and if you don't want to go, then I won't bother you again. If yes, than I'll pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow. If no, well, then, it's a no. Just owl me with your answer of yes or no so I won't get my hopes up.

Love,

James Potter.

Aww, that's so sweet, thought Lily. Maybe I should say yes. But what if it's another scheme? I mean, you can expect anything from James. I wish I knew him better. But then, it is a good time to try and get to know him better. Okay, one date, just one so I could know him better. Then if he turns out to be a complete prat, I'll never even think about going out with him again.

After a while of battling with herself, Lily went up to her room. She rummaged her desk for a quill and ink. She got it out and wrote a quick note to James.

James, I'll go with you just this time. But don't try to make it so that the whole world knows. This is just a trial date. And remember, you only have one try so don't screw it up for yourself and me.

Till tomorrow,

Lily Evans.

After Lily had watched her owl fly off, she went back to reading the new books that she bought. But she couldn't concentrate. Somehow, her mind kept drifting back to James and how cute he looked with his rumpled hair. Finally giving up, Lily put down her book and went downstairs to watch some TV.

===================================================

At James's House

===================================================

James was reading a Quidditch book when a brown owl flew into the window and dropped him a note. James opened the note and quickly read it. It was a note from Lily saying that she would go out with him. What he read made him really happy. Nothing could spoil his day now.

Sirius came in and saw that James was in a good mood. "Look who's in a good mood today. What happened that boosted up your energy?"

"Oh, nothing much." James said quickly, trying to hide the note. However, Sirius saw it.

"Who's that note from?" he asked, pointing at the note that James was trying to hide.

"What note?" James said innocently.

"That one."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Sirius lunged for it but missed.

"You need to start getting ready for your date." James said.

"Oh yeah, I sort of forgot."

"Well, don't mention it to Stacy that you forgot about it or else she'll go bananas."

"Hey, can I borrow a couple of galleons."

"Sure, why?"

"I want to by some flowers for Stacy."

"Look who's the gentlemen. You never bought flowers for any other girl that you went out with."

"Well, I really like Stacy, she's fun."

"Well, why didn't you ask her before?"

"I don't know. I never got the courage."

"You? Not have the courage? Somebody's in love." James sang. "Sirius and Stacy, sitting in a tree, K-I— James stopped singing because a football was thrown at him. James managed to dodge it and the ball hit the lamp that was by the chair and it shattered.

"Oh, shit." James muttered. He took out his wand and said "Reparo." [A/N: I'm sorry if it's spelled incorrectly, I can't find my book for the spelling. And if anybody asks, you are allowed to use magic outside school in the seventh year]. The broken pieces of the lamp flew together and repaired it.

"There, that's done." James said with satisfaction.

"What were you reading?" Sirius asked.

"Quidditch Teams of the Year."

"Oh. Wanna go play a game in the game room?"

"Sure." James bookmarked his page in the book and joined Sirius in the game room.

==============================================

At Stacy's House

==============================================

"How about this shirt?" said Maria.

"Yeah, it looks nice." Put in Lily.

"I don't think so. Too plain."

"This one?"

"Too fancy."

"This one?"

"Too dressy."

"This one?"

"I have never worn it in my life. Too tacky."

Lily let out a sigh of exasperation. "You are so picky."

"Thank you. Next outfit."

Stacy looked at it and said "Too ugly."

And so it went on until the girls sorted through Stacy's whole wardrobe.

"This is it. No more clothes."

"What, that's it?"

"Yep, you had a complaint for every piece of clothing that you had."

"Wait, there's one more outfit here."

"Take it out."

Stacy looked at the super short striped skirt and the white top on straps. "Well..."

"It looks good."

"Sirius will love it."

"Well..."

"Oh come on, just wear this."

"Well...okay."

"Finally!"

"Now onto the shoes."

Lily let out a whimper while Maria grabbed a pillow and screamed into it.

"Come on. The faster we find the right shoes, the faster it will be over."

"Oh fine." Grumbled Maria.

The three girls started picking out shoes from Stacy's gigantic wardrobe.

"These?"

"No."

"How about these?"

"They're for formal dinners, so no."

"What about these?"

"Don't like them."

And so it went on again. When the girls did find the right shoes, they went on to makeup and hair.

======================================

When they were done...

======================================

"Stacy, you look gorgeous!"

"Yeah, you won't only have Sirius's attention; you'll have every boy's attention in the theatre."

"You think so?" Stacy said uncertainly.

"Yeah. That outfit is really you and your hair looks beautiful like that."

"Okay, well, I'm off."

"Stacy, where are you supposed to meet him anyways?"

"He said that he was going to pick me up, so I'll just wait downstairs."

The doorbell rang.

"Now," Stacy said. "You two, keep out of sight and don't let Sirius see you. Okay? Best if you stay upstairs in my room or wait until we're gone."

"Nah, we'll stay here to wait for you when you get back so we can hear about the date first."

"Okay." Stacy went to answer the door.

"Who is it?"

"Who do you think it is?"

"Right." Stacy opened the door and gasped. Outside stood Sirius with the most beautiful arrangement of flowers that Stacy had ever seen.

"For you." He said.

"Oh thank you. I'm going to put them in a vase, you wait here."

Stacy went to the kitchen to find an empty vase. She found one and filled it with water and then put the flowers in the vase and put them on the table in the living room.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you. You look very nice too." Said Stacy. Very nice and hot and cute and...

Sirius interrupted her thoughts.

"Shall we go?" said Sirius, holding out his hand.

"Of course." Stacy took it and they walked out of the house. They got into the car and drove away.

============================================

A/N: I know that you must hate me for leaving it off like that, but I promise you I'll tell you about the date in the next chapter. This date and also Lily's. But for me to post the next chapter you need to, you guessed it-REVIEW! PRESS THAT LITTLE BUTTON!
