DC: I still don't own anything...
Story:
"Don't bother to deny it, we all know its true," Lupin said.
"Yeah, Prongs, just admit it. We'll go easier on you if you do, ya know," Sirius added.
"Um, I... I got to... I got to go, see you!" and with that, James ran out of the common room.
***********************************************
Snape came walking up to Lily and her other best friend, Bella when they were at the Gryffindor table eating lunch the next day.
"Hey Lil, what's new?" Snape said with a silly sort of grin on his face.
"Nothing," Lily replied suspiciously.
"So I guess you're not doing anything on Saturday?" Snape replied with the same silly grin.
"I'm going to Hogsmeade with everyone else..." Lily said, as if she was talking to a three year old.
"Ah, so... do you want to go with me to Hogsmeade?" Snape said, trying to act cool.
Lily was staring at him as if he had just grown two more heads.
Bella looked really confused, and just stared at the both of them.
Snape had totally forgotten that Bella was even there.
"Not... not... not really," Lily stammered.
Crestfallen, Snape replied, "Oh, alright then, I guess I will see you later... bye."
Then he walked off. Once he was out of earshot, and both Lily and Bella registered what just happened, they started to crack up. They were totally laughing their heads off when a certain Black haired boy came into the room.
"What the heck is so funny?" James asked when he reached the Gryffindor table and saw the two hyenas.
"Snape...Snape...Snape just... just... just asked Lily out... on a date!" Bella said between laughing fits. She had to hold her sides and take huge, deep breaths because she was laughing so hard.
Lily nodded her head to emphasize it.
"Are you serious?!" Prongs asked in disbelief.
"Yes!" the two girls chorused. Then all three of them started to laugh again.
********************************************************
Later that day in double potions; Gryffindor and Slytherin:
"I would like to make an announcement please!" James said while raising his hand.
Professor Lombard would let anyone talk if they raised their hands.
"Alright, James, what is it?"
"I would just like to say that Severus Snape, of the house of Slytherin, has a crush on Lily Evans, of the house of Gryffindor!" James burst out before laughing.
The entire Gryffindor portion of the class started to go into hysterics.
The Slytherins however, just stared at Snape with the same look of disbelief that James had worn earlier that day.
"Are you serious Potter? Snape, how could you! You have completely ruined the Slytherin name and honor!" Malfoy shouted out.
"What honor? The Slytherin's don't have any honor!" James shot back.
"Malfoy! Detention for not raising your hand!" Lombard called out.
"But Professor!" Malfoy tried to argue.
"Not another word, or it will be two detentions!" the Professor interrupted him. "Everyone! Quiet down! I am trying to teach you all an important lesson that will be on the big test in two days!"
Malfoy gave James and Snape looks that were full of pure venom and disappointment respectively.
***********************************************
The next day:
"Hey, what's going on? You don't look very happy..." Bella said to Lily when she came down the stairs from the girl's dormitory to the common room and saw Lily lying on the couch, looking totally depressed.
Lily sighed a deep sigh, "Oh, it's nothing."
"It has to be something. Lily Evans doesn't get upset over 'nothing' now does she?" Bella responded as she sat down next to Lily's feet.
Lily sat up and said, "No one has asked me to the Christmas Ball yet. I thought at least ONE boy would... I guess I'm just not good enough for anyone."
Lily sighed again.
"Oh Lil, you are to good enough! You're too good! All the guys probably think you're already taken!" Bella tried to comfort her friend.
"Are you going with anyone, Bella?" Lily asked her best friend with a hint of sadness in her voice.
The Christmas Ball always meant a lot to her. She loved Christmas, it was her favorite holiday of the year.
"Yeah, Sirius asked me. I think he is so cute!" Bella giggled.
"Lucky, at least you have someone to go with... I might just have to go stag..." When she said that, she thought of something, or should I say someone...
Lily then bolted out of the common room in search of a certain black haired boy.
"I wonder what just got into her?" Bella said to herself.
* * * ** * * * * * * * * **** * * * ** ** * * * * ** *
"Should I ask him? What would he say? Maybe I should just ask him to go as friends... that might work... yeah, I'll just go up to THE James Potter and ask him to go to the Christmas Ball with Me, Lily Evans... heh, like that will ever happen. He is probably already going with someone anyway. probably Leslie or Julie. They both are practically in love with him... Maybe I will ask Moony. He would be nice enough to go with. At least he isn't Snape!" Lily thought to herself as she wandered the empty halls, but shivered when she thought of Snape, "Ew."
"Hey Moony, will you do me a huge favor? Please?" Lily asked Lupin when she saw him in the corridor just outside the Charms classroom.
"Sure, Lil, anything...what is it?" Moony answered her.
"Well, you see... no one has asked me to the Christmas Ball yet... and I was wondering, if maybe you might want to go with me... if you're not already going with anyone I mean. Just as friends of course," Lily rushed.
"I would if I could, Lil, but I can't, I'm sorry. I already asked June," Moony said quietly.
June is a fourth year in Gryffindor.
"Oh, that's okay. I guess I will just go stag then," Lily said even more quietly than Moony.
Something clicked inside Moony's head.
After excusing himself, he made a mad dash for the school kitchen. He tickled the pear and went inside.
"James Harold Potter! What did you do!?" Lupin asked his best friend.
James tried to look puzzled, "What on Earth do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean... don't you think that it is just a tad bit odd that Lily Evans, one of the most prettiest girls in Hogwarts, hasn't been asked to the Christmas Ball yet?" Moony said with fake wonder to James.
"Why yes, it is a tad bit odd. I wonder why..." James said. He is quite bad at acting, so Moony could totally see that James was just pretending to be clueless.
"What did you do?" Lupin repeated, angrily.
AN: Please review it! Again, from 1-10!? thank you!!
