Lily was in such an awe she couldn't believe it. Remus Lupin had just asked her out, and she said yes!! She had to tell her friends Allison and Emily. They wouldn't believe it either.
Lily rushed up to the Griffindor Tower. When she walked into the common room, She could here voices, shouting voices. They seemed as if they were coming from the Boys' dormitories.
"How could you. You know how I feel," yelled a voice that sounded a lot like Potter's.
"She kept turning you down, and you shouldn't get mad if someone else asks her. I mean, it's not as if she even likes you!" said Remus trying not to raise his voice.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Haven't you seen the way she looks at you? She's always glaring at you and whenever she says no to you, she always says it in the sense that she would rather die than go out with you," replied Remus, sounding as if he had wanted to say that to James all his life.
All of a sudden, a door slammed. Lily could here stomps coming down the steps, as if they were telling here to run. But she couldn't run. the way to the Girls' dormitories was up the stairs, the way where the footsteps were coming from.
"Come hide here," said a voice.
Lily looked up, and saw her friends calling her over. They hid her under the table they were doing their work on. They put their book bags around to hide her, trying to make it look as natural as possible.
"Where is she?" yelled a booming voice, filling the air of the Griffindor common room.

"I know she's in here," said James' booming voice again
"She can't be out, it's after hours, and she can't be in bed, because you guys aren't," he said in an evil voice pointing to her friends.
"Tell me where she is."
All of a sudden, Lily jumped out of where she was hiding, with all her courage left behind. 'I'm a sixth year, and I'm not a little frady cat first year anymore,' Lily thought to herself.
"Here I am, and you'd better apologize to everyone in this room if you want me to talk to you ever again!" said Lily in a strong, cold voice that nobody has ever heard her use before.
James was kind of scared (and turned on), so he said "I'm sorry everyone," Then he turned to Lily and Remus, "We need to talk."
Everyone left; they were to scared to eavesdrop, because they knew that either James or Lily would curse them.
"Happy now?" James asked politely, trying to gain Lily's trust and friendship
"Nothing you ever do is going to make me like you ever again, James Potter," said Lily in an icy voice.
"Ahh, so you did like me?" said James
"Yes, remember in the first year?" Lily questioned James trying hard to forget that very embarrassing night.
"Ohh, that. I didn't think that counted. I mean, you only knew me for a couple of hours."
Lily thought to herself 'I think the same thing that happened that night is happening right now.'
"Do you still want to go out with me," said Remus. That was the first anyone had heard from Remus that night.
"I don't think so. I don't want your friendship to be ruined," she said, giving James a cold, hard glare while she said this.
"Uh, I think I'll, uh, go to bed now. Good Night," said James hurriedly.
Shortly after that, Remus followed James looking as if he needed to talk to him.
Lily decided to go to bed about an hour or two of studying.

Lily came back to school with over a hundred grudges against James Potter. She was so angry with him, why did she have to like him! She, Lily Evans liked him, James Potter! But she had other things to think about.
One of her two best friends wasn't coming to Hogwarts this year. The three of them had been great friends since the beginning of first year, and now Emily was moving to the states. All of a sudden, she heard voices on the train. They were soft and quit, they sounded as if they were three boys voices.
"How can I ask her? After what happened last year?"
That voice, Lily thought, was probably James'.
"You've got to ask her, despite what happened last year," said a voice that sounded very much like Remus'.
"But you were involved in it," said James. Lily didn't know what happened, but something made James say "FINE"
Lily settled herself so that she didn't look like she was eavesdropping. She opened up a book and looked as if she was reading it.
James and his friends walked in and took a seat.
"Who's that...oh, it's you,"said Lily trying to smile.
"I just wanted to ask you the usual question,"said James
"And I'll give you the usual answer,"Replied Lily with a wannabe cold voice.
"Okay, fine with me," he said. "But is it okay if we sit here. All the other compartments are full."
"Sure," she replied without looking up from her book
Lily didn't want him to see her big smile.
'I think I'm going to agree to him this year, but right after Christmas Holidays' Lily thought to herself ' yes, I will.'

By the time Lily was ready for James' usual question, it was right after holidays. But he didn't ever stop to talk to her. All he would say was "Hi" or "Bye".
One time she was so sick of his ignoring her she replied, "Up yours pot head."
Every one in the corridor around them started to laugh.
The only person that would talk to her that was a boy, was Remus. He started talking to Lily in November. He would ask her how she was feeling that day, or how her grades were, or even for help on his school work. But that all stopped one day.
Remus walked up to Lily one day after class, and asked her to meet him by the lake right after their last class.
when she went to meet him, he asked her how she felt about James. She told him the truth.
"That is what I was afraid of. Because I like you."said Remus
Lily wasn't surprised. "I should've guessed that that is why you asked me here. I was hoping, though that it was about James."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that he doesn't ask me the question any more."
"That's because he thought that you would keep saying no, and that there was no point."
All of a sudden, James walked out."I knew you would do that Remus."

"I knew you would go behind my back again and ask. How did I know; that's what I bet you're wondering. Of course, me wonderful James, would and did figure it out."
"But, it it's not what you think," stuttered Remus
"Ohh, it's not what I think, eh. Well then, what s it, what is it that you were going to ask Evans?"
"I, uh, was going, to, uh, ask ..."
"He was going to ask me if I could Help him ask a girl out for him,"said Lily, hoping to convince James
"Ahh, and who is this girl?" James asked
"It was, uh, my friend Allison," she replied quickly
Just then Allison walked by, saw Lily and walked over to them. "Hey Lily. I thought you were in the common room doing your potions essay." She noticed who Lily was with, "What's going on?"
"James is being an ass."Lily replied.
"Oh," Allison started to giggle, "What else is new?"
James frowned, "Enough with the girly stuff, let's get on with this." he kept looking at the castle.
"Get on with what?" Allison asked, obviously confused.
James is mad at Remus, because James thinks he was asking me out."
"Right. Well this should be entertaining."
"I actually was going to ask Lily out for you, James because, you were to blind to see that she actually likes you."
"Well, I don't know what to say," said James, who was very embarrassed.
"I do," said Lily,"If I go out with James then Remus has to go out with Allison."
"Okay, I'm confused again," said Allison, "Why would Remus have to go out with me?"
"Because you like him and don't say you don't, cause I know you do. Plus, this way something good might come of this conversation."
"Well, okay." said Allison, "I'm coming to bed. Lily, you coming?"
"YA, sure."
The girls waved good-bye to James and Remus and walked up to the castle.

Lily couldn't believe it. She was actually going out with James Potter. The person she had loathed forever was now the person she loved. The one person who she always glared at from across the classroom, was now the person she looked at lovingly from across the classroom.
But, she thought to herself,' If he is my boyfriend, why haven't we gone out yet.'
All of a sudden, James walked up to her.
"May I walk you to your next class?" he asked her politely
"James, we have the same class next,"She replied with a boring tone to her voice.
"I know, but I wanted to just ask you like other people do," he said with that sparkle in his eye. It was the one where if you looked at it, you knew that he was just playing around
"Ha ha, sure, we can walk together,"Lily replied. She grabbed hold of his hand, and together, they started walking to potions class.
Right before they walked into the class, James stopped her.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What, is something wrong?" replied Lily
"No, I just wanted to know if you would, um, like to, um, go on the next, um, trip to, um, Hogsmead with me?"
That was what Lily was wanting to hear all day.
"Of course,"she replied joyously.
And together they walked into class and took their seats, they never took their eyes off of each other.
