YAY!!!!!!!!!! Summer!!!! I thank whoever reviewed 'cause you all are
sooooo sweet!!
Ok if you want the disclaimer then just read the first chapter's disclaimer.
Oh! And that I don't own the plot; I got the inspiration from a TV show I watched.
Ok on with the story!
"Ahhh, only 45 minutes this time!" sighed James as he finished tackling his umm "hair". He just set a world record! Only 45 minutes, last time it had taken him 1 hour and 3 minutes…
James proudly stared at his neatly plastered hair on top of his head, and feeling content, he floated out of his dorm room. Then an unpleasant thought bumped him down to Earth.(Literally, as he fell down the stairs...)
Today's the day Lily Evans was taking him shopping. James shook his head as he thought about what this day might bring.
Of course, it was a Hogsmeade weekend, (if you haven't gathered that already…) and Lily met him at the bottom of the stairs and looking a little overly hyper as she started to jump up and down.
"Are you ready??? Huh? Huh? Huh? Just remember that once you get Claudia, I get the tickets!!! Ok? OK? Oh, we have a lot of work to do if you want to come back today looking good. Come on!" She managed to say that while bouncing up and down and dragging James out of the portrait hole, causing his arm to flop around like Jell-O.
James sighed and let himself be dragged by Lily, just wishing to get this over with.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The second they arrived in Hogmeade, Lily led him to a shop for men's clothes. It seemed that a female accompanied most of the men there. Lily took no notice of that and started grabbing clothes without asking James what his size was. James just followed her not bothering to say anything.
"Alright, now go into the fitting room and try on one outfit at one time and each time come out and let me look, ok?"
James nodded and took the armful of clothes Lily had picked and strode into the fitting room.
Each time James came out, Lily shook her head because he just didn't have any sense of fashion. He came out wearing something like this.
James had on a collared shirt and buttoning it all the way up to his throat, and shorts that would have looked good on him if he didn't pull it all the way to his chest.
Lily buried her head in her hands and moaned, " God, James, don't you have any sense of fashion????????"
"What?" James asked looking confused.
Lily took a deep breath and said calmly, " James, you have to unbutton the top buttons on your shirt, to make it look looser and your shorts need to be AT LEAST down to your waist. Ok?"
James went back into the fitting room and yelled out, "There is no way I'm coming out of here looking like this. NO WAY!"
Lily sighed and called to the other side of the door, " You are coming out mister or you wish you were never born!!"
There was a groan from the other side and James stepped out reluctantly, but scrambled back in an instant. Lily had seen him though and she had to admit it was better than nothing.
"Good!!! See, that wasn't so painful!"
"But, Lily--"
"Don't 'but Lily' me, James, you're gonna wear something like this if your want Claudia to like you, got that?"
James knew better than to mess with Lily, she definitely lives up to her reputation as a red head. Even though, at most times she's a sweet girl, but when she gets mad… Let's just say that you don't want to be anywhere within 10 feet of her.
He changed back into his normal clothes and they picked out more outfits like that one and proceeded to a salon.(A/N: I don't care if they have those in the wizarding word, ok?)
"Do something to his hair, it's too… um… uh… neat! Yeah that's it neat!" Lily said to the barber.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
Lily stared at James as he screamed.
"It took me 45 minutes this morning to get it neat, you are NOT I repeat NOT getting it messed up again!"
Lily shrugged that little speech of and said to the barber, " Proceed"
It turned out Lily had to put a freezing charm on James (except his hair) to stop him from moving, and a silencing charm to shut him up.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
James walked out the salon with his hair trimmed slightly and un-gelled, making it messy and loose.
"Now, here comes the hard part." Lily announced.
"What can be harder than to have your appearance changed?" James grumbled to himself.
"Shut up. Anyways, you need to learn how to be a smooth guy towards girls"
James paled, he hadn't expected this…
"W-w-h-at?"
"Yes James, you really didn't think that Claudia will fall for you if you just talk to her about homework and books and stuff like that?"
He didn't answer.
"I have arranged for a little mini lesson on girls from Mundungus Fletcher. He should be here just… about… now."
"Hi Lily, James."
A boy with brown hair and hazel eyes ran towards them. He turned to James and said with a cheery tone, " Ready for your first lesson on girls, James?"
James was still in shock. How in the world did Lily pull this off? He wondered. Mundungus Fletcher was a popular kid, and James doubted that he even knew Lily was alive, let alone doing a favor for her.
"Uh… Lily, can I talk to you for a second, alone please…"
James let Lily to the side and hissed, "Lily! How did you get him to be my tutor? He's really popular, and you're just… Lily."
"Gee thanks James. He's doing this as a thank you for me since I helped him with a piece of the charms homework we had." Lily replied dryly.
He went over to Mundungus and Lily ran off claiming she rather not witness this.
"Ok! Shall we start this lesson?"
James smiled weakly, and replied, "Let's get this over with"
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
After an hour of sitting outside of an ice cream parlor, James had learned the basics of dating girls from Mundungus. They were reviewing what he had learned.
"Good, now what do you say when the girl asks you if you like the new dress she just bought and she's showing it to you on a hanger?"
"I say, 'It's a beautiful dress on a hanger, but it would look even better on you.' And then you wink at her."
"Wonderful! I think you're ready!"
James had discovered that Mundungus was actually a pretty cool guy and he even found himself revealing the Marauders to him. He had found that surprising and couldn't believe James and his friends had pulled all those mysterious pranks.
Mundungus had to go when Lily turned up again and she announced that it was time to see her master plan in action. She made James go into a restroom and change and then she wanted him to use what he just learned on any girl.
When James finally decided to come out of the restroom, Lily stared at him wide eyed, and couldn't and wouldn't believe what she was seeing…
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
