Chapter 1

Lily Evans woke up around 7:00 a.m., got dressed, brushed her teeth, did her hair and went down to breakfast where her best friends, Alice McKinnon and Roslyn Hart were already there, eating breakfast.

"Hey Lils," Alice said thickly, a large amount of toast in her mouth.

"Hi Lily," Roslyn greeted Lily.

"Hey guys," Lily replied, sat down and poured herself a glass of pumpkin juice.

"Seventh year already, huh?" Roslyn said thoughtfully, hardly touching her breakfast.

"Yup," Lily grinned, "We get to take N.E.W.T's this year."

Alice rolled her eyes.

"The only people that want to take them are you and Remus."

"We are the only two normal people in this year," Lily retorted.

"Speaking of seventh year, remember the promise you made to us, Lily?" Roslyn asked her, smirking mischeviously.

Lily's cheeks turned pink.

"What promise?"

"Oh, I don't know. Possibly the promise that you made to go on a date with a certain James Potter?"

Alice nearly coughed up her pumpkin juice.

"I nearly forgot about it!"

"So did I," Lily muttered dully.

"Well, I didn't," Roslyn said cheerfully, "So, remember Lily, when James Potter asks you out you HAVE TO say yes."

Lily groaned.

"At least it'll only be one date."

Before they could say anything else, Dumbledore stood up and the Great Hall was immediately silent.

"Heads, come up here please!" he called.

"That's you Lily," Alice grinned.

"Yeah, you and James."

Lily ignored them and walked to where Dumbledore was sitting. James did the same.

"Hello Professor," Lily said to Dumbledore.

"Hi Professor," James said lazily, grinning that cheeky and annoying grin at Lily.

Lily shot him a death-glare.

"Miss Evans, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore smiled at them, "Since you two are Heads, I believe it will be best if you two move to a dorm rather close to my office. There will be two bedrooms and one exquisite bathroom. The dorm is right behind the painting of Violet and for now, the password is, Chocolate Frogs. I believe that is it, any questions?"

Lily was too furious to say anything. She had to share a dorm, with freaking James Potter! So much for the great year, she thought to herself.

James, on the other hand, was absolutely delighted to be sharing a dorm with Lily. Maybe he could sneak up on her while she was taking a shower…

"No questions, Professor," James told him.

Dumbledore beamed at them.

"I still can't believe I have to share a dorm with that damn Potter," Lily fumed.

"Aw, come on Lily, it won't be that bad," Alice said.

"Easy for you to say," Lily scowled.

"Lily, I think James is coming here right now to ask you out and this time, you have to say yes," Roslyn said.

"Evans, want to go out with me?" James asked her, grinning that grin again.

Lily scowled and scowled. But it was only ONE date. How bad could it be?

"Fine," she growled.

James looked as if everything he wanted happened to him. He managed to get a few words out.

"Great, see you then."

And he left, walking a little unstabily.

Alice and Roslyn both hugged her and Lily pushed them away.

"I can't believe I said yes," Lily said furiously, "This has to be the worst morning ever."

"Don't be ridiculous."

"It's the best morning ever!"

Lily scowled even harder.

Nothing much happened during the week. Lily spent almost all of her time studying and almost forgot about her date with James until Alice and Roslyn reminded her Saturday morning.

"Oh, the date," Lily said with distaste.

"What are you going to wear?" Roslyn asked.

Lily shrugged.

"How about this?" Alice asked, pulling out a pretty, wavy, purple top with jeans.

"Fine," Lily sighed.

"Why do you seem so depressed?" Roslyn said.

"I'm going on a date with James Potter, how can I not be depressed?" Lily snapped.

"Lily, just have fun, be nice to him, alright?" Alice said and then put on her puppy face.

"Yeah, yeah," Lily muttered.

She put her outfit on and then walked down to the common room where James was waiting for her.

"Hi Evans," James said.

"Hello Potter," Lily said coolly.

He wrapped his arm around Lily and they walked to Hogsmeade. Lily had to admit, being in James arm made her feel warm.

No, no, no, I can't be thinking this, she thought, it's James Potter, you are not allowed to feel good when his arm is around you.

"Evans, want to go to Three Broomsticks?" James asked her.

"Okay."

When they arrived, James ordered two butterbeers.

"After all these years, did you suddenly realize that we're perfect for each other?" James smirked arrogantly.

"No Potter," Lily said coldly, "Alice and Roslyn made me go on this date."

James's face fell.

"Oh."

"But it's not bad as I thought it would be," Lily admitted, blushing.

His face lit up.

"Seriously?"

"Yes," Lily muttered.

"I really like you, Evans," James said, and kissed her, in front of everyone.

Lily was not prepared for this kiss, but just for a moment, she enjoyed the kiss, but then she realized that James Potter, the person she hated, had just kissed her and EVERYONE saw. Pretty soon, the whole school would know about it.

Lily pulled herself away from James and ran away, crying. She thought she hated James Potter, but when he kissed her, she liked it but now she hated him, but something made her want to kiss him more.

She went to her dorm, she wanted to be alone, she didn't want Alice or Roslyn with her. She didn't want anyone.

Just then, the portrait swung open and James came in.

"What do you want?" Lily snapped.

"I'm sorry, Evans, I shouldn't have kissed you in front of everyone," James said, "Please forgive me."

All these years, James had never once said sorry.

"Fine."

James let out a sigh of relief.

"Evans, we still haven't finished the date."

"Oh?"

"Want to go back?"

"Nope."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Lily kissed him.
