Chapter 2

James P.O.V.

Oh. Shit.

I'm late for my first class, and it's only the first day. I really don't like school but you've got to do it to get a job, and I want to be an auror.

Anyway. The reason that I am late for my first class on the first day of school is that, naturally (knowing my luck), I forgot to set the alarm on my doorknob that would wake me up immediately if anyone (namely Sirius Black) with bad intentions. And if that didn't happen

(which I have always highly doubted, seeing as I know Sirius in the first place) it would wake me up at 7:00 on weekdays. This, of course, is exactly what happened. Only when I woke up, I had women's lipstick smeared on my face, and when I tried to wash it off, nothing happened. Naturally, it was all over other places too. Like my chest. And my feet, and my back, and other funny places. Namely my –

"MR. POTTER!! How kind of you to grace us with your presence!! And what on Earth is on your face? Oh don't answer, just go sit down."

I already knew who was yelling at me, so I didn't even bother looking. Instead I looked for a seat. Next, McGonagall said, "Potter! Sit next to Ms. Evans, seeing as that seat is the only available one."

I went to sit next to her and asked "Do you know who did this to me?"

"No! Why would I? And what is it on your face? It looks disgusting." Replied Lily.

"Because you and I live in the same common room, and it's lipstick, thank you."

"Who do you think did it to you?"

"Do you even have to ask me that question to know who did it? Really?"

"All I'm going to say is that you have really terrible – "

"Lily?"

"Yes, Potter?" Asked Lily through gritted teeth. She knows what was coming; she's just hoping it was something else. I can tell.

"Will you go out with me?"

The bell for the end of class rang. I had leaned toward her without noticing, and Lily answered by getting up, yelling "For the last god-forsaken time Potter!! I will not go out with you!!" next she slapped me, and left.
