James changed and got into bed. A smile was on his face that he just
couldn't get rid of. Sirius noticed it and asked James what it was about.
"I'll tell you later Padfoot, just let me enjoy the night." Sirius knew something was up, but let it go. He would find out in the morning weather James wanted him to or not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning James was out of bed before Sirius, Lupin, and Peter were awake. Truthfully, James never did go to sleep. He played the scene he had last night with Lily over and over again.
James got changed fast and headed down in the common room. He wanted to wait there for Lily so they could go to breakfast together. He looked at his watch; 5:03. A little early, but that was okay, James could pass the time by doing something. He had homework that he could do, but that would be too boring. Instead he played a game with himself, trying to guess who would be the first, second, third person in the common room and so on. The game soon grew old and James had nothing to do but wait.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily woke fresh and well rested. She was in a good mood, her and James were going to go to the Christmas Ball together.
She had just realized that she liked James. Just realized about two days ago. Ever since those two days, she noticed that he DID spend a lot of time with her, and what he said last night, well, that confirmed it.
Other girls that James had gone out with had been snobbish and snotty witches and had only gone out with him because he was popular, on the Quidditch team, and was a rebel.
She had seen James get together and dump these girls time after time, and she was thinking, maybe if he went out with someone different, he would be happier and all.
But, it wasn't like they were going out yet. Lily didn't even talk to him after she said yes. She started getting doubts in her head. What if he really wasn't asking me to the Christmas ball and it was something else?
Lily had spent all of her Hogwarts years with The Marauders and therefore had not made many other friends. Sometimes she wish that she had more female friends (a/n: girl friends sounded wrong), so she could talk to them about guys, about all that stuff, but she didn't, so she had to keep her feelings to herself.
She got dressed and headed down to get some breakfast. To her surprise, James was in the common room waiting for her. She was delighted.
"Hey Lily!" James said, getting up from a chair and yawning. "Hey James, I'm gunna get some breakfast, wanna come?" Lily asked.
"Sure, yeah. Lets go." Both smiled at each other and they left for the Great Hall.
On the way there, they ran into Severus Snape.
"Potter. Are you and Evans a 'hot' item now? Lily, I didn't know you would stoop so low." Snape said.
James was staring at Snape, it looked as if he was giving him the death stare. Lily saw this and knew that if anymore time lapsed, James would start trying to fight Snape. So Lily intervened.
"Well, James is taking me to the Christmas ball if that's what you mean Severus. Well, we are both hungry, and you must have somewhere you would rather be than here in the hallway, talking to us, so we will let you go. C'mon James."
Snape rolled his eyes and walked away. James suddenly realized that he was still staring in the same spot that Snape was in, so he turned to Lily and they started walking again.
"How can you be soo polite to that, that git! Oh, I could strangle him, he gets on my nerves!" "James, he's really not that bad, just ignore him, he just wants you to get upset, he is TRYING to get you upset. Personally, I think he is jealous. Just forget about him."
James smiled at Lily as they walked together.
They soon got their breakfast and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Soon the rest of the Marauders came and were also sitting with James and Lily.
"So, full moon tonight. This should be fun." Sirius said. "Hey Prongs, what was with you last night. OWW!" James had stomped on Sirius' foot. Sirius still didn't know about what happened the night before between him and Lily.
Lily let out a giggle. She stood up with her trash and said, "Well, I know you boys would like to talk about some things without me here, plus I have some homework I want to finish up so I am going to go. Bye."
Lily left the table and exited the Great Hall after she threw away her trash.
"Man, she is hot."
James looked shocked. He was shocked because he was thinking the same thing, but he heard this come out of someone else's mouth.
It was Peter. Lupin, Sirius, and James had the same look on their faces.
"What did you say?" Sirius asked. "Well, I said, that, she, well, she looked hot." Peter said, wondering if it was a good idea that he said that comment out loud.
James pretended that he didn't hear what Peter said and announced to the rest of the Marauders, "Lily said yes. To me. She and I are going to the Ball together."
"Two points for Prongs!" Sirius said, he was very happy for his friend. Lupin was also happy that Lily and James were finally together. After James' comment, Peter left the table, and none of them knew where he went.
"I still don't like him Prongs." Sirius said. "Well, Lily trusts him, and so do I." James said back. Lupin left the table and came back with three glasses full of pumpkin juice. He handed them out.
"A toast, to Paws and Prongs!" Everyone lifted their glasses and said together, "Paws and Prongs!"
