Chapter 1

The Dare

Lily turned on her heals and walked away from James. She was sick of his constant pestering and needed some time to her self. He didn't seem to get that Lily didn't like him much. She couldn't remember the last day that had passed without a date offer from Potter.

James slowly walked back to the common room. He wanted Lily more than anything was willing to do anything to get her to like him. It wasn't just her looks that attracted James she was smart. What did she expect from him? He wasn't prince charming but he was the next thing closest to him.

Sirius examined James and figured out right away.

"Another no?"

James nodded giving a slight frown and tried to brush it off. Sirius knew what James saw in Lily. He had long since given up trying to persuade James away from her. He knew the best thing to od was just to stay away from the topic.

James made up his mind to try again. He pondered the situation. She has to notice my charm sooner or later why give up. It's not like tonight was the first time she had refused me but I've been trying since about first year. All I need is a new approach. What it will be will come to me later but I have to stop asking her daily.

With those thoughts James settled down in a arm chair in front of the fire place and began his 9 inch essay for Defense Against the Dark Arts. They had a new professor this year who cut them no slack and loved making them cram for tests and write long essays with little notice.

Lily sat in the girls dormitory. The room was empty except her and Alice. Alice knew how much Potter bothered Lily. Lily had never complained much about anything although it was clear when Potter had been going at it.

Lily was "reading" her potions text. While her eyes focused on the page her mind seemed to wonder elsewhere. Why can't Potter leave me alone. What I mind the most is he's kind of annoying. If he would not ask me out for a whole week I might not turn him down. Alice never seemed to understand. While she is completely supportive of she makes me feel uncomfortable like I should like Potter. I mean I know she realizes its annoying she feels that if the man tries so hard he must really like me, I think he just like the thrill of trying to get girls to like him. He and Sirius are so arrogant. Can either of them go a day without obsessing with themselves in a mirror.

Alice glanced at Lily and understood that Lily's mind was far from her homework. She knew she dare not ask the question she was about to but her gut convinced her other wise.

"What did Potter do?"

"Nothing" Lily lied. Alice saw through the lie.

"What did he do that's really so bad?"

"You mean other than constant begging for a date, being an arrogant fool who is so obsessed woth himself"

Alice wanted to give up, but chose not to while she was losing.

"Why don't you give him a chance?" Alice questioned.

"He's annoying and will probably pester me more if her thinks I like him"

"If you go on a date with Potter I'll go on a date with..."Alice was unable to finish her sentance.

"Frank"

"If you want it can be a double date. but is is a deal?" Alice asked

Lily thought about it before agreeing. She had a puzzled expression as if not sure what to say. Potter was annoying, but having Alice ask Frank out made it worth while. Maybe going on a double date with Alice would be fun. Eventully she made up her mind.

"Deal"

"Then it's settled. How about Hogsmeet, Potter is sure to ask you."
