Pranks and Wands, Part 10:
Before I had enogh time to think of the Lily-Peter breakup, I saw somebody walking towrds me. For one second I thuoght it was James, but it was someone else.
"Hello," Said Severus Snape, trying to hide a smirk. I could see his friends snickering behind his back.
"Hello." I said.
"Do you want to dance with me?" I could see his friends snickering and smirking even more then before.
It was obvious they challanged him to ask me. I knew they did. But I had to decide which one will be worser for me: If I refuse of if I say yes. If I refuse, they'll apparantly laugh at him, but at me, too. If I say yes, then they'll laugh at both of us, but at myself more.
"No."
It was just as I planned it to be. Snape's friends said things like, 'Old Severus gets dumped again!' and 'I guess your animal magnetism just isn't the same,' but I knew I was being laughed at, too.
"Can't you just go away?" I asked, hoping they would. They did, after shouting 'Ohh, you don't like us!' at me.
But I didn't care.
James came over later and asked what were they doing. I explained, and it was over. So was the ball, and I didn't feel too sad about it, unlike Lily.
Lily completely forgot about having Peter as a boyfried, it seemed. for the next half year, she dated almost every single person in our year, excluding the Slytherins.
She even dated James.
The memory of it still brings tears to my eyes.
It was a rather wet Sunday. James and Lily ran to Hogsmeade, trying to get the least wet they could. Remus, Sirius, Peter and I followed them. James and Lily entered the Three Broomsticks, a pub in Hogsmeade, and sat at a booth. Sirius, Remus, Peter and I set in the one behind them.
"So.." James said. "What would you like to order?"
"Erm... Whatever you want."
The most cliched phrase Lily could have used.
"No, what do YOU want?"
James, trying to be romantic. The horror...
"No, what do YOU want?"
Sirius turned and whispered in my ear, "So, what do YOU want, Dewy?"
I wrinkled my nose. "For you to stop having bad breath..."
"Okay... How 'bout a Butterbeer?"
Halleluja!
Madam Rosmerta went over to our table. Sirius started silently signaling her that we want a butterbeer each and that she shouldn't talk to us, but no use. "So, what do you want?"
It was very hard not to laugh, but we controlled ourselves. Remus put on a forgien accent and said,
"Ve vant some butterbeer, please." Madam Rosmerta looked a bit confused, but she wrote his order down and went over to James and Lily.
"What will you have, love birds?" She asked.
I was willing to bet they turned as red as a turnip, allthough I couldn't see James and Lily.
"We would like to have some Butterbeer, please." Said James.
Madam Rosmerta soon returned with a tray. She gave each one of us a bottle, and went over to James and Lily. She put a huge pink bottle on their table with two straws.
Oh dear...
"Well..." James looked utterly confused at the meaning of the ONE bottle and TWO straws. "Have a sip." He gave Lily one of the straws.
"Okay..." Said Lily, eyeing the straw suspiciously as if James put some bacteria on it.

A.N: Yeah, I know I didn't finish the... er... date, but I decided to stop here. It's this 'This is going to be interesting' ending but still not a cliffhanger! :-)
