The First Date

Lily was in a panic attack mode. Despite what Alice and Marlene said, none of her clothes looked right, her hair looked horrible, and she had a huge zit on her chin. Of course this would happen on her first date with James.

Lily was throwing clothes out of her closet looking for a decent outfit. That was until Marlene grabbed a pair of jeans that made her legs look sky-high, a green faded shirt that made her eyes pop, and a faded white hoodie. Alice curled her hair and applied a very light touch of makeup.

When Lily met James in the Great Hall, she knew that her crazy morning was worth the stress. She had never seen James' eyes pop out of his head like that. It gave Lily a warm, fuzzy feeling that she could do that. The walk to Hogsmeade was very nice, even though they'd been spending so much time together, they never ran out of things to talk about. When James asked her where she wanted to go she decided to play a little game.

"Let's go to Madam Puddifoot's. I hear that they got even frillier from last time. I want to see the cute little bows!" Lily said, trying to keep a serious face.

James looked at her like she was from a different planet. He let out a small shudder and said something Lily wasn't expecting, "Sure, whatever you want Lily."

At this time Lily burst into laughter no longer able to control the funniness of the whole thing. It took her close to a minute of uncontrolled laughter and James looking at her like she had a second head for her to calm down. "James, I don't care where we go. As long as they don't shove pink down your throat I don't care."

James gave her a look of utter admiration. Lily knew that no date had ever tried messing with him like she had managed to. It made her proud.

The two of them walked around Hogsmeade laughing and hitting every shop. James bought Lily her favorite candy, Peppermint Imps. They went to Three Broomsticks and James paid for their lunch and Butterbeers, much to Lily's protest, even though she was impressed by how much of a gentleman he was.

They returned back to Hogwarts and with those stupid grins on their face. Right before they left to go to bed Lily gave James a sweet little kiss that had tingles going through both of their bodies.
