A/N: 12 months of OotP story, crap, I had no inspiration to write James but I had to for the challenge I issued myself, see my profile for the info. See my DeviantArt account for the art for this month .com/
Reconsideration
A pretty girl with dark red hair sat at Gryffindor table, in the same spot she sat in every day, with her back to her best friend; He was a Slytherin with long black hair. They talked in whispers, like they always did, because Slytherins and Griffindors "aren't supposed to be friends". A boy with messy black hair and glassed then strode into the great hall, he was about to sit with his friends when he spotted the red haired girl and slid in next to her instead.
"Hey Evans, will you..."
"No."
"You didn't even let me finish!"
"James Potter, you have asked me out hundreds of times, what makes you think this one is any different?" Lily Evans had years of practice shooting James Potter down.
James went back to sit with his friends. "Better luck next time mate!" said a handsome boy with long black hair.
"I guess so." James wasn't so sure about that.
"You know what they say, four hundredth time's the charm!"
Back at the other end of the table, Lily was thinking, what would happen if I said yes?
