SEVEN/ WITH OR WITHOUT YOU
James had prepared everything perfectly. He was going to do it right in the middle of the common room, just to make sure that Lily got the full effect.
James was dressed up in bright pink robes, with lace trimming and little white hearts embroidered on the sleeves. He'd also conjured up a bouquet of the most gorgeous flowers anyone has ever laid their eyes on. There were magenta and turquoise ones, as well as neon yellow and bloodred, periwinkle blue and bright green. Sirius, who'd been helping James prepare, was rolling on the floor with laughter at the sight of his best friend.
"Oh, Shut up, you," James said, though he couldn't help grinning himself. "Are you sure she's down there?"
"Yeah, I got Peter to make sure that she sticks around," Sirius said, sitting up and stifling his laughter for a moment. Tears were streaming down his cheeks from laughing so hard. "But I wouldn't be surprised if she ran out when she saw you coming," Sirius added, and began howling with laughter again.
"All right, here I go," James said, and couldn't help laughed when he caught sight of himself in the mirror. "Wish me luck!" Sirius continued laughing, but got up and trotted after James.
"No way I'm missing this," Sirius managed to choke out through his laughter.
James emerged into the common room to find it packed with people. It seemed that everyone in the house had responded to James's plea for help - he'd asked them all to be present tonight for a joke he was going to perform. The joke seemed to have worked, because as he walked into the room, the crowd errupted with laughter so deafening that it sounded as if an explosion had occurred.
James made his way over to a very surprised and confused looking Lily, who had been talking to Peter in the corner. James nodded, and Peter backed away, barely containing his laughter. James got down on one knee and waited for the laughter to stop.
When finally he could be heard over the remaining giggles, James cleared his throat and took Lily's hand. She stared at him, still angry with him but grinning slightly all the same. You just had to laugh to see James Potter dressed up in a frilly, hot pink robe.
"Lil," James began, and the room dropped into an anticipative silence. "A while ago, you and I made a bet. We agreed that I was a complete air-head, and probably didn't deserve the popularity that I had. And I was supposed to shape up.
"Well, I'm sorry to say that I didn't, so I'm fulfilling my part of the bet. But don't get to smug-" he added, as her grin widened, "because I'm going to change. Forever. I'm not going to do things just for popularity anymore, as embarrassing as it is to admit that that's what I'd been doing. But I'm going to change. I just hope that you can find it in your heart to believe me."
James pulled out the bouquet of flowers from behind his back, and held them out. Lily took them, speechless, and her grin turned into a genuine smile. James continued on with his little monologue.
"I know you probably hate me right now, but I was kind of hoping that you could help me change. You're a wonderful, sweet, and funny person Lily. But even if you DO hate me, I just want to say this: I Love You, with or without you loving me back."
Lily looked James up and down, still smiling. Then, shaking her head and laughing slightly as if she couldn't believe what he'd just done for her, pulled James up into a tight hug and said, "I love you, too."
The room errupted. There was noise beyond the amount there had been when James had entered the room. The hoards of people were happy with the way things worked out for the two of them. And, come to think of it, Lily and James were pretty happy with it, too.
Lily went to bed that night happier than she ever had been in her life. She slipped into her PJs with a smile on her face that didn't falter as she climbed into bed. She and James had finally gotten together! And in just a few days, she and James would be dancing away at the Yule Ball.
With that thought, Lily drifted off too sleep.
~~~~~~~ Little did the beautiful, sleeping Lily Evans know, but the ball would be the beginning of the rest of her life- in more ways than one.
