I couldn't believe it; I'd agreed to go out again with James Potter, Potter the guy that I could never stand to be in the same room with let alone sitting inches apart from each other with our arms wrapped around each others waists. However that's exactly what I was doing.
Yesterday I had been walking down the corridors when I bumped into James. He seemed a bit weird at first but then he asked me if I wanted to go on another date. I knew full well that if I accepted it would mean we were a couple and was I really ready for that? Apparently I was because I quickly accepted. So here I was on my second date with my boyfriend and I was having a really good time.
James and I had met up outside of the common room at 4:00 and I was a bit confused about where we were going. It wasn't a Hogsmeade Day so that was out of the question and it was also quite stormy out so there was no way we were going outside.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"You'll see."
"Ohh a surprise is it?"
"I guess you could call it that."
He led me through the castle and when we got to the Entrance Hall he turned and pulled me down a side staircase. I knew that the corridor only led to the Hufflepuffs Dorms and the kitchen which students couldn't access. As far as I knew the kitchen was down here but the entrance was somewhere else in the castle. Probably the staff room I mussed. So to say I was a bit confused would be putting it lightly.
"James?" I started to ask him when we would get where we were going but he cut me off.
"Shh, you'll see."
He silenced me by planting his oh so heavenly lips on mind and tenderly kissed me. Once he pulled he turned away from me and started examining a painting of a bowl of fruit.
"Am I that bad of a kisser and so hideous that you must turn away in revulsion and stare at a painting," I said it lightly but as any normal girl would I feared the answer. Thankfully I received the answer that I was looking for.
"You're gorgeous and also a pretty descent kisser. I'm just trying to…ah here it is," he stretched his hand out and strangely started to stroke what looked like a pear. A door appeared and James turned the handle.
"How in the world did you find this?" I exclaimed.
"Sadly it wasn't me that found it. Sirius, Remus and Peter did one day when I was in detention."
"Wow!"
"So you like it?"
"No I'm amazed that you were in detention and Sirius wasn't. What did you do?"
"Well I…"
"I'm kidding, yes it is amazing," I scanned the enormous room and saw hundreds of house elves bustling around carrying different assortments of foods. In the centre of the room were four replica house tables, "We're under the Great Hall?"
"Yeah, pretty amazing isn't it?"
A house elf shuffled over to us and bowed to James and then gave a short bow to me, "How can Dipsey be of assistance to Mister James and his lovely lady friend?"
James leaned over and whispered into the little elf's ear and then straitened up. Dipsey scooted away and James and I followed him. When we stopped I saw a little table set for two. Sitting on two plates was none other than my most favorite food in the world, lasagna. I absolutely adored the creamy yet tangy sauce and the loads of cheese. I had been greatly disappointed when we never had it for supper during all my years at Hogwarts.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"Oh I have my ways," he said.
"Well thank you."
And so we enjoyed a lovely dinner. We talked non stop throughout the whole meal and you would not have been able to pull as apart even if you tried. We sat on separate chairs but we had then pulled as close as they would go together and we held hands as we ate.
Once we had finished we thanked the house elves and James led me away.
"How long have you known about that?" I asked.
"Oh second year I think, unless the guys lied to me."
"So what now?" I asked. I could see out of the corner of my eye a broom closet and the funniest idea popped into my head. I started to laugh and James looked at me with a questioning look.
"What is it, was it something I said?"
"Oh no, sorry. Just how would you react if I pulled you into that broom closet over there?"
"I don't know why don't you try?"
I grabbed his arm and we together ran to the closet. I flung open the door and grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside. He closed the door behind him. It was quite dark inside. The only light coming in from underneath the door and even then that wasn't much. We didn't need light though because our lips crashed together and our hands started to roam each others bodies. When we came up for air I said, "I'm glad you're holding me because I don't think my legs right now would support me," I smiled for no reason except that I was that happy. Never in my life had I felt so good.
We kissed some more and would have kept on kissing if the door hadn't have been opened. I shielded my eyes from the harsh glare of the lights and saw the face of one of the Hufflepuff sixth year prefects, "I'm sorry," she stuttered as she backed up.
I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry for her. It's bad enough that your job is to disrupt couples in the heat of passion but when it's the Head Girl and Boy I couldn't even begin to imagine.
"Well what do you say we head back up to the Tower?" James asked.
"I guess that would be a good idea," I replied almost sadly.
Our second date had been a success but yet a flop at the same time.

I couldn't believe it when Lily suggested that we take a pit stop in a broom closet. I never figured her to be the type. That's not to say that I wasn't thrilled, it just that I was shocked.
When we were so rudely interrupted I was rather disappointed but figured it to be for the best. We might no have been able to stop otherwise and I don't think either of us wanted that to happen.
Once we returned to the Common Room we said our goodbyes and went in the opposite directions to our dorms with the intent of finishing up homework. I don't know about her but I never got it done. Thoughts of her kept running through my head and I kept fantasizing about what was going to happen next. Wow I was being worse than a chick, playing over our date in my head and fantasizing. I really have to get this checked out because it's the second time in a few days that it's happened. Oh please don't let my testosterone leave me, I love you dear testosterone.
The guys came in and I told them in detail I might add about my wonderful date. Again I received the fear of turning into a chick when Sirius said, "Man you sound like a love sick girl. It's sickening. You better stop or I'm going to lock you away."
"Aww thanks Pads I love you too," I cooed, "No do you think these pants make my but look fat and what about my hair, I think it's absolutely dreadful today but what do you think?"
As intended it got everyone rolling around on the ground laughing. That's what I loved most about myself, the ability to make people laugh without even trying. Also my amazingly pro Quidditch skills and my awesomely handsome good looks. Oh don't forget my intelligence.
"Prongs you are so whipped," Sirius laughed.
I grimaced, oops I guess I had been staring off into space. Well then moving on.
"You going out with her again?" Peter asked.
"Duh she's my girlfriend of course I am," I all but squealed. Thank goodness I stopped myself or I would have had a one way ticket to the St. Mungo's Psych Ward and that's never a good thing.
"What are you going to do next?" Remus asked.
"I'll never divulge my secrets," I said in a creepy voice.
"Yeah he once said that about our Marauder secrets and now look what he's done. He's gone off and revealed how to get into the kitchens. What's next?" Sirius whispered quietly to Remus, but not quietly enough.
"You know I can hear you plain as day?"
"Yup, that's the point."
"Thanks guys, thanks a lot."
"We love you too," Remus frowned after saying it, "Oh god no!"
"So all's well in the ever turbulent world of Lily and James," Sirius said, "So when's the wedding."
"Sooner than you may think," I laughed.
"That confident are you?"
I nodded, "I am."
