This is the year!
A Lily/James story
Disclaimer : I don't own Harry Potter unfortunately.
"Hey Evans! Go out with me?" Yelled a messy haired boy named James Potter, from across platform 9 and 3 quarters on January 3rd.
"NO Potter!" Lily Evans shouted back, making half the first years in the vicinity to run away in fear.
James just grinned cockily and went off to search for his fellow marauders.
"OI PRONGS!" James jumped as Sirius screamed into his ear.
"Padfoot! What was that for?!" James aimed a blow at Sirius' head.
"Okay okay don't get your knickers in a twist! Where're Moony and Wormtail?"
"I was about to find them when you so rudely interup-" Peter Pettigrew rushed at James and Sirius – with Remus following calmly behind - and shoved them into an empty compartment.
"What a nice greeting," Sirius said sarcastically. "I'm fine thanks how are you?"
It seemed Peter couldn't hide his excitement anymore.
"REMUSGOTTAGIRLFRIEND" He exclaimed, "THEONEHEFANCIEDFORAGES!"
"Bless you?" James said hopefully.
Remus rolled his eyes and dug his head in "Hogwarts, A History", a wide grin on his face.
Peters face was flushed, "Remus got a girlfriend!"
Sirius grinned and clapped Remus on the back, "Good for you Moony!"
James had a questioning look on his face, "It wouldn't be er,Lucy, Lily's friend would it?"
By now the train had zoomed away from Kings Cross. Remus looked out the window and scratched his neck awkwardly, "Er yeah."
A number of emotions passed over James' face, confusion, anger(though he didn't really know why) and finally a grin broke out
"Well done mate!" Everyone breathed in relief. James looked outside for a second. "You know what? This years the year. I'm finally going to get Lily to go out with me!"
Everyone rolled their eyes while the picture on the wall of the compartment said "You keep thinking that dear."
