[Disclaimer! i own like barely anything. just the plot. which i think i own. this little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me that it owns the plot...]
"Okay, you're on."
"On?"
"Yeah. I won't go out with anybody next week. You just watch and see."
"You sure you can do it? I mean, the average eleven-year-old can't live up to something like that."
"I'm not average. I'm a witch. And the average eleven-year-old probably hasn't even gone out with anyone."
"I guess so. So, what'll you wager?"
"Wager?"
"Yeah. You know, bet. If you can't do it I get to...have you as my servant for a whole day. That means carry my books around, too!"
"Servant? Well, if I can do it, then you have to be MY servant for a day."
"And you have to do it for the next week too. And the week after that, and the week after that, and the week after that--"
"Okay, okay. I get the picture. You're on."
They shook hands, grinning.
James heard footsteps. James looked past Lily and saw a lady in a crisp white nurse's uniform coming towards him holding a block of chocolate. Lily turned and noticed the lady too.
"Good, you're up," the woman said. "I'm Madam Pomfrey, the nurse."
"I'm allergic to chocolate," James said quietly. Lily looked at him, amazed, for just last night he had eaten three chocolate frogs.
"Heavens, no, child. I know you aren't. Now, eat. Or would you like your friend here to feed you?"
Lily blushed as James replied, "No! I can feed myself."
"Very well, then." Madam Pomfrey handed the chocolate to James and he started eating it ravenously, making a show to so the nurse would leave. She did.
"Since when was chocolate healthy?" Lily asked as James put the chocolate in the small table next to him.
"Ask my mum that one. She's been feeding me chocolate to fix me up since I was six."
"Must be a wizard thing."
"Definetely is. I heard that Muggle kids got cavatios or something from it."
"Cavities. I've always had to eat chocolate sparingly; Mum and Dad didn't want me springing up with cavities and needing fillings and braces like my sister Petunia has. My younger sister Rosalind, or Rosie, and I ended up with perfect teeth. Mum and Dad don't want to spend money on teeth that are already pretty."
"I never noticed your teeth," James said.
Lily smiled, showing her pearly white teeth. "You just did."
They laughed, and James finished the chocolate.
