Chapter VI

The next morning, Lily had to be dragged out of bed (literally!), and even when she was dumped on the floor, she still had the same spaced-out look on her face. She was wondering what she should do about James. She'd never had much experience with boys, and she was sort of stuck on the question of what to do now.

"What's wrong with you?" Ella asked. "You seem…either half asleep or very zoned-out."

"What, me?" Lily said absentmindedly. "Nothing."

"There's something," Izzy said knowingly, "but who cares, it'll come out sooner or later. C'mon, breakfast!"

***

Later in the day, James Potter was sitting in Transfiguration. He was supposed to be transfiguring a pillow into a goose, but he was basically sitting there thinking about Lily, while doing the spell. He came out with a goose that had long red hair, and it was wearing a pillowcase, with holes for its wings to poke through. Quite a strange goose, on the whole.

"Er…Prongs?" Sirius said, poking James.

James jumped. "What?"

Sirius pointed at James' goose.

"Oh, right…" James almost blushed. He muttered something, and the hair and pillowcase disappeared. "Wasn't concentrating on it, I guess…"

Sirius restrained himself from asking what he was concentrating on, and started trying to transfigure his pillow.

***

That afternoon, James was in Potions. And he'd decided what to do about Lily. He couldn't just stay away from her, and get a girlfriend or something, just to see Lily possibly get jealous. Fun as that would be...Whoa, what was that thought? He was still a little under the influence of when they were enemies. Okay, it wouldn't be that fun now that they weren't really enemies any more. But anyway, he wouldn't do that. It sounded like something Lucius Malfoy would do, or Snape.

Of course, Snape would never get a girl to like him in the first place...unless, of course, he washed his hair, and that would only happen when Hell froze over. James stifled a grin.

There was just one possibility that he could see…He just hoped he was brave enough to carry it out.

***

After getting lost about ten times on the way to the Great Hall, Lily was sitting at the Ravenclaw table and slowly eating dinner, looking zoned-out again.

What was she going to do if James talked to her? She'd been worried about that all day, because she still hadn't thought anything to do about the whole thing. He hadn't come into the Great Hall yet, but it was only a matter of time.

Worried, she almost didn't notice the person tapping her on the shoulder. In fact, she didn't notice it the first time. The second time, the person tapped, a little harder, and she jumped and twisted around in her seat. It was James Potter.

"Hi," she stammered. "Er…that is…um…hi. Yeah, hi!" She blushed.

Her friends were looking at her strangely, but she didn't notice.

"Lily…erm, um, yeah….eh…Hi! Good word, that!" James was even worse. Lily's friends stared at him too. "I…um…was…just…going…t-to ask…"

"Yes?"

Sophia, who was staring at all this, whipped out her wand, pointed it at James, and muttered, "Sonorus." She was suspicious of the whole thing, and if he had any insults for Lily, she was going to make sure he got in trouble for it.

James voice was magically magnified as he blurted, "WouldyougooutwithmeLily?"

Somehow, the whole hall managed to make out his words, and everyone gasped. James Potter asking out Lily Evans! Most of them had very shocked reactions.

The Gryffindors were staring at James, too dumbfounded (A/N: I like that word!) to notice that Peeves happened to be stealing their food, cackling the whole time. Some of the Hufflepuffs actually fainted, and Lucius Malfoy spit his pumpkin juice on the tablecloth in shock and yelled out, "Could you repeat that, Potter?!?"

Sophia dropped her wand and sat gaping at Lily and James. Izzy, however, seemed perfectly happy. She jumped up and started doing cartwheels around the hall, and after each one, jumping in the air and yelling, "Now we can go on double dates!!!" See, it went like this: cartwheel, jump, 'Now we can go on double dates!' Cartwheel, jump…

Lily whispered, "Okay."

Immediately, the person next to her passed on the word that Lily had said yes. As it got around the hall, the reactions were basically the same.

The Gryffindors kept staring. The Hufflepuffs kept fainting. Lucius Malfoy kept yelling. Sophia kept gaping. Izzy kept cartwheeling.

And the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, stood up at the High Table and said, "Students and teachers, I give you...the most improbable thing that has ever happened in the history of the world!"

And to this day, it still is.

Author's Note

Thank you all so much for reviewing! I'm so sorry that this story is over…*sobs inconsolably*…But maybe I can do more L/J! *perks up* I'll think about that.

I tried to make this as long as I could, but there wasn't much to put in this chapter. I hope it's long enough…But I think it's actually incredibly short, so don't hurt me if it's not! *cowers in front of the readers* ^_^

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much again for reading and reviewing! You reviewed so much that you made this my first ever finished story! *gasp* I think I'll finish more in the future too. :D

And I'll be working on my other fic, The Marauders of Hogwarts. If you happen to have the time, please tell me what you think of that!

Thank you yet again, and bye!!! *waves*
