Chapter 2- Part I- Why is it Hard to Say No?
Lunch at the Great Hall is absolutely great because of its mouth-watering and delicious foods that can be fed to an army because of its unlimited amount. You can hear the clanging and banging of the golden goblets and the silverwares, the laughter that erupts from the four long House Tables and the chatter that never cease from any of the corners of the big hall. Anyone will certainly enjoy the 50 minutes of lunch with the atmosphere in the Great Hall even if the ghost are swooping everywhere and Headless Nick obediently shows his almost beheaded-head to the little first years that automatically throws up or loose their appetite. Everyone was happy that day including some of the Slytherin and Argus Filch because he had given a detention to a boy who spilled ink on the floor.
Everyone was simply happy and relaxed except Lily Evans.
Unlike most of the Hogwarts girls whose hobby is to chase the handsome guys in the school and spend most of the time gossiping and chatting about boys, latest wizard fashion, the hot and muscular Quidditch players, Lily Evans is not your typical teen-age girl. She's not interested in the latest fashion trend in Paris or somewhere. She's not interested to whose more handsome and hotter Quidditch player. She doesn't care a lot about her appearance. She doesn't care, and promised to herself she'll never will, if one of the most handsome and most popular guy in Hogwarts ask her out.
Lily has a more important things in her mind that that. She needs to study more so that she can fulfill her dreams to become a healer at St. Mungo's. She needs to be more serious and more focused in her study that she frequently forgets that she's also a young lady wanting to feel love.
After being dismissed at Potions, she went to the Great Hall for lunch but she saw Potter so she decided to go to the library as she wanted to relax. She couldn't forget what did just happen in Potions. She was still fuming with anger and trying to rewind what just happened.
Flashback
"I SAID SHUT YOUR WIDE MOUTH AND LEAVE ME ALONE! Can't you bloody understand that, or do you want me to spell it out for you!?" Lily hissed angrily.
"Fine, I'll shut up if you just answer my one very, very, little, tiny, bit of question and you should give me the answer that I want?" James said while showing his not-so-famous smirk.
"And what is this very, very little, tiny bit of question you're mentioning?" Lily asked, her face full of suspicions.
" Go out with me " James said with full of pride that he'll get the girl to go out with him.
Lily turned her face in front of James and move her face very closely to his face. Lily smiled evily and said ' No, I will rather go out with Snape than go out with a git like you!"
" Ahaha! I know your style! You're playing hard-to-get like most of the girls here at Hogwarts. Your pretend you don't like to go out with me but you're really happy that I asked you! Don't worry, I understand a girl like you! Maybe I'm the only one who has the courage to ask you out. So, is that settled, you're going out with me?" James said with a triumphant smile in his face that will be erased in any moment now.
" NEVER!" shouted the newly 6th year prefect Lily Evans, boiling with anger. She didn't realize that she shouted that out loud. James Potter just sat there looking up at her with a mouth open in disbelief and confusion.
"Evans, Potter! 40 points from Gryffindor each!" their professor yelled. Lily sat there with eyes wide open as she cannot believe what just happened. She thought this was really bad. But there's more!
"And detention for two weeks to the both of you!" yelled their professor.
End of Flashback.
"A detention for two weeks" she thought. She had never been in ANY detention or whatsoever. She has a reputation of having a clean Behavior record until now. " And I friggin' lost 40 House point and my friggin' chance of being a friggin' Head Girl will be friggin' jeopardized! NOOO! I'll make sure that frggin' bloody Potter friggin' pays! Right I'll friggin' make him do the all the friggin' detention as he was the friggin' one who friggin' dragged me to this friggin' position". (A/N: I just LOVE that word, friggin'! O.o)
She went inside the library and greeted the strict Ms. Pince. She went to table near the window so she can be relaxed to the fresh breeze of air that gently hits her face then grabbed the nearest and thickest book she could reach. She started reading the book with all concentration that she didn't realize that the friggin' jerk and his famous posse were just three tables away, pretending to read … except Remus, watching her careful as she read.
James and the Gang
" Hey, what are we doing in the library, you perfectly know that I hate books right! And that Eagle-looking librarian will just kick us out even Sirius' famous smirks are no effect to her!" said the smug-looking Peter.
" Don't you diss my smirks, Rat Boy! James, move now before she sees us because of the Rat Boy here !" Sirius whispered.
" Relax, Padfoot!" said James.
" Go now James!" boosted the three of them.
" Alright, here goes!" said James now wearing his arrogant smirk.
FLASHBACK
"So, what happened to your date Potter ?" asked Sirius as he turned to his other best friend.
James smirked.
" Ahh, thanks for reminding me Padfoot, so where's my fiery girl?" said James craning his head to look for Lily in chattering the crowd.
"She's not here" said James with a tone of disappointment in his voice.
" What is this all about ?" asked the confused Remus.
" Do you know Lily Evans, the red-headed chick ?" asked Sirius.
" Yea, I know her she's my partner in prefect duty. She didn't attend our prefects meeting awhile ago. Why, what's up with her?" said Remus.
" You see, James here, asked her out awhile ago during Potions." Sirius explained while snickering a bit.
" You asked her out ?! " asked Remus in disbelief.
" What is that statement can't you understand?" said James while rolling his eyes.
" Sorry, I just can't believe it. So, what did she say?"
" Of course she turned him down! "said Peter while James and Sirius glared at him.
" Sorry!" said Peter fidgeting a bit.
" And that's not all, they both got a detention because Lily shouted 'Never' outloud when he asked her for the umpteenth time" explained Sirius.
" and that's not still all, we both got 40 points deduction each … it's all her fault so don't blame me!" said James to Remus.
" Fine, I won't blame you, but make sure you get those points back!"
" Blarghh !!! Yea, Fine, Whatever!" said James not caring about the points deducted from his 'beloved' house because of him. If Gryffindor has lesser points, Slytherin would have a bigger chance in winning the Inter-House Competition.
He should gain points or else Slytherin would win the.
Then realization hit him !
If he wins the Potions Making Competition, he'll gain a 100 points and then secure their win for the Inter-House Competition. They'll WIN over the Slytherin! In order to win, he needs team mates, smart team mates. Smart … bookworms … red-head …
LILY!
"Yes! I knew it! I'll join and win the Potions competition then we'll gain hundred points. That will secure our chance of winning the Inter-House! Then as for Lily, I'll ask her to be my teammate! Of course she'll not say 'no' cause she's desperate to gain points so she'll be a Head Girl or whatever it is. While we study and stuff, we'll get to know each other then we'll be close, then she'll like me and she'll go out with me! Get it! See the logic! Any questions?" said James with all enthusiasm.
"Okay ???" said Sirius, Remus and Peter in unison.
"So are you with me?" asked James.
" Fine" said Remus and Peter.
" You're ON !" shouted Sirius with his fist on the air.
" Okay, I'll ask her now before anybody ask her. So where is she?" said James.
" I think she's in the library." replied Remus.
" What are we waiting for , Let's go!" bark Sirius.
They ran to the library and saw what they were looking for.
" Lily."
