A/N Having had absolutely no inspiration for 'Music,' I decided to simply post another story, another collection of 100-word ficlets, which have absolutely no conection to music at all. This one is an explanation of why James persisted in asking Lily to go out with him, even when she'd said no literally hundreds of times. Will continue to jump eras and pairings.
Exactly 100 words, excluding brackets.
Why Potter Persisted
(3rd year – Common Room)
Lily smiled her most pitying smile.
At least, it was supposed to be pitying. But, apparently, pity looks like
"Yes?!"
to a love-struck teenager.
She quickly put him right.
"Potter, you would have to ask me a thousand time before I would consider going out with you."
(3rd year, Boys' dormitories.)
"So do it," Sirius said.
"What?"
"Ask her out a thousand times, if you're serious. Wait, I'm Sirius."
James didn't laugh. Partly because it wasn't funny, but partly -
Once a day, a thousand times…
(7th year – Common Room)
"Lily, for the thousand time, will you go out with me?"
"Yes." She smiled. No pity, just happiness.
I'd love to have as many hits as reviews for this, so, please review.
