"James Potter get your ass down here right now"

I gulped when I recognized Lily's voice. I couldn't remember what I had done so I shot a spell at the window to smash it then jumped on my broom and flew out towards the quidditch pitch.


Lily POV

When we heard the window smash the whole common room burst out laughing. I ran into the girls dormitory grabbed Marlene's broom, broke the window and joined James on the quidditch pitch.

"You Mr Potter are ridiculous" I laughed while flying around him.

"Please tell me what I did before you yell at me" he said when we landed on the ground.

"you pretended to date a girl to make me jealous"

"so did you"

"I did not. I actually like Patrick but..."

"but?"

"he wasn't you" I said as I leaned into kiss him.

"so my planned worked then"

"shut up and kiss me Potter"

"with pleasure Evans"


James POV

I looked over at Lily as we walked back to school hand in hand. I couldn't believe it Lily Evans was my girlfriend. Then I realized that I hadn't even asked her. I pulled her around the corner.

"I am not sure whether to be confused, scared or annoyed" she said leaning against the wall.

"Why would you be annoyed?" I said.

"Well if your pulling me out of sight then you could be ashamed to be seen with me"

"Never" I said before kissing her.

"What are we doing here then?" she said pushing me away.

"Well, Lily Marie Evans, will you be my girlfriend?"

"of course I will you ninkenpoop" Lily said leaning into kiss me.

"Ninkenpoop,that is very mature" I said raising my eyebrows.

"You love it"

"Your right I do"

Then we both leaned into kiss each other.


Lily POV

"Woohoo" I laughed at Sirius as we walked into the common room.

"so is it official?" Sirius


while jumping on the couch.

"You should ask my girlfriend" James said putting an arm around me.

I grinned. Alice grabbed my arm and tugged me up the dormitory stairs. Marlene followed.

When we got to our room Alice looked at me with her arms folded.

"What?" I said looking at Marlene who shrugged.

"Two words, Patrick Rock" Alice said keeping her arms folded.

"I did say I wouldn't go to hogsmeade with him" I said folding my arms.

"We know,we were there" Marlene said. Alice and I glared at her.

"I'll just go sit over here" Marlene said.

"What did I do?" I said.

"You are going out with James 5 minutes after calling of a date with Patrick" Alice said.

" I did say I like someone else" I said sitting on my bed.

"We know, we were there" Marlene said. Alice and I glared at her again.

"I am going outside" Marlene said while running out the door.

"Ok, I am sorry I was harsh on you" Alice said giving me a hug.

"That's ok, I understand" I said hugging her back.

"Can I come back in yet?" Marlene called from outside the door.

"Come in Marly" Alice called while we both laughed.

"Finally, now tell us how he asked you out" Marlene said getting comfy on my bed.

"As long as you tell me why you were stalking Patrick and I" I said raising my eyebrow.

"Well..."


James POV

"Lily, seriously I swear it never used to take you this long to get ready" I called up the stairs.

"She never used to have a boyfriend" Alice said walking past me with Marlene.

I groaned and walked up the boys stairs.

"Given up have you prongs?"Sirius said as I walked in to our room.

"Nope I am getting my broomstick"

"eh?"

"Dumbledore didn't think that I am not touching the stairs if I am flying" I grinned walking out the door.

I flew up to the girls door and knocked on the door then opened the door and flew in.

"Ahh"

I looked over to see Lily brushing her hair at the mirror.

"What are you doing?" I said laughing at her reaction.

"I don't know, having a picnic, what do you reckon?"

I laughed and kissed her cheek. She blushed and continued brushing her hair.

"How did you get up here anyway?" she said looking at me through the mirror.

"I flew"

"You flew... Oh you didn't touch the steps"

"Yeah, You ready yet?"

"I think so" I grabbed her hand and pulled her onto my broom. She wrapped her hands around my waist. We reached the bottom of the stairs where I let her of and flew up to my dorm.


Lily POV

I was walking hand in hand with James through the common room when I spotted Kristina. I quickly let go of James hand and walked over to her.

"Hey Kristina"

"Hey Lily"

" I wanted to thank you. It was you who convinced me to go to James"

"That's ok. I know I have lived in the same room as you for six years and we haven't always been...well...friends. Lets start fresh"

"Sure, girls night tonight, heaps of junk food, nails done, reading magazines etc etc."

"I'm there"

"Cool, see ya"

"Bye"

I joined up with James who looked at me questionably but I just shook my head. We reached the great hall doors.

"Ready to face the music" James said giving my hand a squeeze.

"Ready when you are" I said squeezing his hand back.

We pushed open the doors to see every single one of the great halls eyes in us. I then noticed a banner just behind Professor Dumbledores chair that said.

Hogwartians,

It is my pleasure to announce that Ms Lily Marie Evans has finally agreed to go out with Mr. James 'Prongs' Potter. We wish them all the best.

From Sirius 'Padfoot' Black.

The whole great hall (minus the Slytherins) were on their feet cheering. Once the cheering died down James and I sat down with red faces.

"I will kill you Sirius Black" I growled standing up with my wand in my hand.

The whole great hall laughed (even a few Slytherins) when Sirius was being chased around the hall. In the end it turned out to be a pretty good first day as a couple for Lily and James. Except for when the whole great hall oohed and awwed and ewwed when they kissed at lunch.
