A big thank you to everyone who reviewed this chapter! I finally decided to type even though I really should be doing the 6 pages of Art homework that I have. This chapter took me ages to write. I wrote it - then decided that the Christmas holidays bit was rubbish so I tried to rewrite just the Christmas holiday parts-twice. Then I decided to rewrite the whole chapter and then I typed it up! Enjoy!
Chapter 6~Results, Greetings and Meetings
"James you got 91. Well done both of you."
"Yes!" James and Sirius high fived and Remus grinned at James from across the room. "When are you going to
have your date then, Jamsy-boy?"
"Don't call me Jamsy-boy. Date? Sorry Sirius, can't tell you when. Classified head boy - head girl information."
James winked at Lily. "So I won't be a loner after all."
"James - no. Please not a whole night! Can't we just go out for lunch or something?"
"No, I've decided. I've got to go with you. I don't want to go with anyone else."
Lily groaned. "Can you even dance?"
"Why yes, of course I can. I'm a man of many talents."
Sirius butted in "Huge ego alert!"
Lily put her head on her arms and pretended to cry. "My life is (sniff, sniff) over!"
Sirius laughed, "Yeah good acting Lily. Tell me when!"
James sighed. "Not till after the Christmas break, then it will be announced to the whole school. Would you like a
hug Lily?" Lily immediately stopped acting.
"No thanks Prongs. I've got an idea. I'll get you drunk and you'll reveal why you're called Prongs!"
James laughed. "No chance. I can take my drink well."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The weeks leading up to Christmas flew by. Sirius kept asking when their date was. James grew more and more
nervous, Lily grew more and more annoyed. She tried to talk James out of it. She even threatened to go to the ball
dressed in rags, but James said he didn't care. The day before Christmas James asked her what she was really
going to wear. "Erm, something blue, with yellow too," she replied, "but mainly blue, yeah I think I'll wear Pompey
robes." James knew all the Quidditch teams.
"You're a Pompey supporter? They're second in the league table at the moment."
"I know. I'm not really going to wear Pompey robes."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sirius and James were at James' house eating dinner. James' mum had shoulder length white hair and was quite
short. She had glasses and small green eyes. "Anything interesting happen at school?" she enquired. Sirius gave
James an evil glance. "Yeah there's this girl - Lily Evans and.."Sirius was cut short by James.
"Shut up Sirius!" James glared at him. He didn't want his parents knowing his business. James' dad, a tall man
with brown eyes, black hair and tanned skin, scowled at him. "James, don't be so rude! Carry on Sirius." Sirius
grinned and James gave him an 'I'm-going-to-kill-you-later' look. James made a last ditch attempt to explain.
"She's head girl, that's all!"
"Yeah, she also happens to be the girl that James has fancied since First Year, and he's finally managed to get a date
with her."

Petunia was bored with her sister talking about school. She wanted to hear about something un-magic related that
she could understand. Petunia was nosy and not very subtle. "Have you got a boyfriend?" Lily blushed as her
family awaited her reply. Her father, a short man with dark red hair and almond shaped grey eyes grinned at her.
Lily wasn't sure whether to mention James or not. Her dad would want to meet him and check that he was good
enough for her. She answered, "Well, no not yet." Lily's mother was smiling too; she had curly brown hair and Lily's
green eyes. "Have you got any dates lined up?"
Lily blushed, "I'm going to the Valentine's Ball with the head boy, James Potter."
"What's he like?" Petunia asked.
"Arrogant, annoying, big-headed. I made a bet with him and I lost so I have to go to the ball with him." Her father
chuckled. "He likes you, you hate him! How long had he been after you?"
Lily laughed, "Since he met me in First Year. He has improved over the years though. I worked with him in Charms
and he was okay."
"I'll have to meet him," her father said, "To see if he's really that bad."
Lily cringed. "No way dad, that'd be way too embarrassing and he'd be embarrassed too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lily walked along the train station with her father. Remus was just behind. He shouted to James. James stood still
and waited for Remus, looking behind himself as he did. He spotted Lily. "Hi!"
"Hi James."
"So this is Mr Potter? I'm Robert Evans, Lily's father." Lily went red as her father shook hands with James. "I hear
you're taking Lily on a date."
"Yeah, to the Valentine's Day ball."
James looked strange standing next to Lily's father. James was about average height, but he looked tall next to her
father. James and Robert talked for a while as they walked to the barrier. Robert hugged Lily and whispered in her
ear "He seems nice." He shook hands with James again and left.
"Sorry."
James looked bewildered. "What for?"
"Dad. I told him I was going on a date with you and decided that he had to meet you."
"He's nice Lily. I don't mind."
