A/N: Hi everyone. Well I'm gonna try at another fic. I didn't get the praise I wanted last time and I've been VERY busy with high school and Christmas time, and all that "great" stuff. Well this is another Lily James fic. I'm gonna try it one more time. I'm feeling mushy today because I was thinking about a certain someone. Oh well ENJOY!





James glared at her. He was having another tantrum. What was so wrong with him? WHY didn't she want HIM like all the other girls? What am I doing to repel her? He sighed and went back to writing on his parchment. He was sitting in the Gryffendor common room with his friends, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. This being their 5th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry they were swamped. It was the week before winter holidays and he couldn't be happier. On the other side of the common room sat the gorgeous red head that James had just been thinking about. Lilian Evans was tall thin, fair skin with freckles speckled across her cheeks. Her cheeks were also rosy red right then. She was sitting with friends and chatting loudly and giggling. James was a few inches taller than Lily. With jet black hair and semi-tan skin. No freckles but all the girls (excluding the Slytherins) loved him. So why not the one girl that he fantasized about all the time. He pondered this until his best friend Sirius snapped his fingers in front of him. "Earth to James? Come in James. Hey Remus there are no signs of intelligent life residing inside the thick skull of this creature."

"Shut up" James spat angered because he was disturbed. "Sirius?"

"Huh?" he questioned

"WHY DOESN'T SHE LIKE ME?" James said in a deadly whisper.

"No idea ol' boy but don't dwell on it. I heard that Serafina that new blond girl is checking you out. She's BE-utiful. No doubt about it. Geeze your lucky. I mean I'm a hell of a lot better looking than you but...." he kept going on but James left. He couldn't take it anymore. He HAD to ask Lily out. His heart ached from it. He went up to his dormitory. Walked to his bed and collapsed. It was only 9:00 but he was wiped out. Before he knew it was the next morning and he was still in his clothes from the day before. But he didn't care. He had an idea and it was gonna save his heart.



He opened the Great Hall door. Lily glanced up and then went back to eating but not for long. James made his way to her. "Lily can I speak to you in private?"

"Don't see why not." All her friend were giggling to hard they had turned red. But Lily shrugged and the left. James took her outside. It dark from the threatening rain clouds above.

"Lily?"

"Yes?"

"I have something to tell you. It's a little hard to say but here goes nothing. Lilian Evans I'm not going to tell you that I love you. After all we are only 15 but I want you to know I think about you all the time. Will you give me the pleasure of accompanying to Hogsmede?"

"James that's very sweet but uh... no" Lily stuttered the last word and ran away. James felt something break inside of him. If that's they way she wants it that's how she's gonna get it. He stalked back to the castle. Found the new girl Serafina.

"Hey wanna go to Hogsmede with me next Saturday?"

"Sure." she replied. "I'd love to."

"Okay then its settled. I'll pick you up here at 8:00 on Saturday."

"I'll be here."







And so it happened. The following Saturday James found Serafina. (Everyone calls her Fina). She was looking very pretty in robes of midnight blue that hugged her figure. But James couldn't stop looking at Lily. Lily looked twice as good. She was wearing forest green robes. She was a little thinner than Fina and had an hour-glass shape. James couldn't walk straight. They had an okay time but Fina was annoyed. James never looked at her. But always searching for Lily. James could tell Fina was having a horrid time. So he took her to the ice rink. Fina was having an excellent time when James started talking to Lily.

"James come on! Let's go." Lily shouted out to him "I have something to tell you!" James felt his face turn scarlet and retorted

"OKAY!" and he ran leaving Fina behind, pouting.

Lily told James how sorry she was for leaving him that day. She wouldn't tell him why either. But she did say that she wanted to be friends before she wanted a serious relationship. James just nodded with his mouth open. He could live with her as a friend. I mean if they knew each other then he could learn more about her. And maybe she'd start to like James. A little was better than nothing. They spent the whole day together. James wasn't going home for Christmas and neither was Lily. All her friends were going home. Along with most of James' friends. All in all it turned out good!
