James winked at Lily from across the common room. He strolled over to her, super confident. Evans, when are we going on this date then? He smiled, his pearly whites shining brightly.
When will you give up? Lilly giggled, as much as James annoyed her with his constant flirting, she couldn t help but feel something special for him. She agreed to meet him later that afternoon, in the entrance courtyard.
She arrived promptly, and awaited his arrival. James arrived ten minutes later, fashionably late he called it.
They sat talking for several hours, sharing details about themselves nobody else knew.
He seemed to have that effect on Lily, she felt safe with him. She knew that if she was ever in any danger, he would look after her. She was glad she had given in to his requests at long last, at least she knew he was a keeper. It was reaching close to 9pm, and the pair knew they had to retreat to bed. Neither wanted to leave the other, so they agreed to walk together back to the common room, and part their ways there. Half way up the grand staircase, James held Lily s hand, tight. And he never let go. It was the start of a beautiful relationship.
