"Wafe? Wah you goin'?" Asked a slightly drunk Arabella.
"Quidditch. Boys only." He muttered as the five left the Common Room.
"Perfect." Rafe whispered as the five boys looked over the little notecards and slips of white paper spread out on a table in the most secluded corner of the library.
"The night of shopping day we're supposed to go sightseeing in formal wear, as we're Hogwarts Select. If Lily found out that we took her away from a Ministry benefit, she'd kill us. But she's been to Godric's Hollow many times. We'll do last minute sight-seeing and shopping the morning we leave. So we'll arrange it for that night. Agreed?" Rafe asked, and he got nods around the table.
"Sorry I'm late." Came a breathless voice behind them. "I had to talk to somebody."
Remus was the only one sitting in a chair that could see who it was. He began gathering up special notes and papers, and the group caught on.
"How'd you find out, J-j-j-james?" Munguldus managed to stutter. "The only other person who knew about this was Arabella, but she was, well, drunk."
"Peter overheard. I am so, so sorry I'm late, Rafe. If Lily found out, she'd get me thrown off the team." James said as he pulled up the nearest chair and sat in it backwards. "What's this?"
Sirius was cursing the little rat when suddenly he noticed one of the slips of paper was in James's hands.
Each of the boys silently prayed to themselves as James read. Hoping to their dieing day that it would not reveal too much. "I thought we were going sight-seeing that night. Oh well. Roller disco? Dumbledore is trying a bit too hard. I haven't done any roller disco in, I don't know.."
"Two years. The night of the Embassy Ball." Ronan said, not thinking.
James, who had been in a dreamy state for the last few sentences, suddenly snapped. "Yes, that's right. How did you know?"
"Well, uh..." Ronan began, but somebody interrupted.
"James? The delivery girl won't let me sign for them- The idiot says you're the one that has to sign. James?" Lily was irritated today, but (all the guys remember thinking) glamorous at the same time. She was simple today. Black athletic pants, a black halter-top and short-sleeved, zip-up, white sweater and her hair was still straight and pulled back, but she wore her thin, wire glasses with the tiny lenses.
All six of them had not expected her in the least. Their jaws dropped. She smiled. She still had a clipboard in one nook of her arm, and a fluffy white pencil in the other hand.
"Didn't know I looked that great. James, I'm waiting..."
"Miss Deb- Hold the attitude and try the patience. Unlike everything else in your life, I am not handed over on a silver platter." James said, getting up and not at all noticing the tongue sticking out of her mouth. "Keep going around like that and people might think you're asking for something."
A chorus of "Dude!" or "That was COLD!!!" cut the silence.
"It's not like I am the one who wants you, it's that Ravenclaw whore Sarah who's delivering the uniforms." Lily snapped. James froze for a moment.
"Fine. Go and sign for the uniforms, I'll hand them out and you can go roll in the hay with Sarah later. I don't have time for this." Lily snapped again, impatient that James wasn't ending this.
"Jesus, woman, shut up!" He said. She slapped him.
As the five Gryffindors watched the couple leave, Rafe assured the others. "This has to happen. And fast. We haven't had such a good Keeper in a long time."
