Lily was finally dressed and ready to go meet Sirius.
'Oh, crap! I have to meet him at the lake in five minutes' she thought. She began to race through the hallways. She was almost to the castle entrance when she slammed into something hard, judging by the pain in her nose, it was very hard. She looked up to discovered that she had slammed into the well built chest of James Potter.
"Umm, sorry James."
"That's ok. Where are you running off to?"
"My date with Sirius." She couldn't understand why, but she felt almost guilty in saying it. She quickly shook off the feeling, bade James a hasty goodbye and ran out the doors.
When she saw Sirius, thoughts of James flew almost completely from her mind. She ran up behind Sirius and covered his eyes. In a deep voice she told him "guess who!"
"Umm, give me a hint"
"I am really a girl and I think your sexy."
"Oh, well that's easy. Its Snape!"
"EEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW" Lily cried as Sirius whipped around. He sighed heavily, "oh, it's only you Lily, I was sure it was my Snapey Baby."
"Ok, if you're gonna keep talking like that, I'm leaving."
"Stopping!"
"Good, so, what did you have planned for us, dear?"
"Well, darling, I brought us a lovely picnic and a blanket, and a camera. So, let's begin this wonderful feast, eh?"
"Sounds great!"
They ate too much of the wonderful feast and took a million (or so it seemed) pictures, and had a fabulous time. Lily sighed as she looked at Sirius who was reading her a story. Ok, ok, so it was Cat in the Hat but he looked so adorable while he read it.
She smiled and cuddled closer to him. He draped his arms across her shoulders and suddenly leaned towards her. Lily raised herself up to meet him and they shared a delicate kiss, full of passion that they were now sure that both of them felt. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist when suddenly,
"LILY! You will never believe what just happened!" Petunia ran out of the castle screaming this at her sister.
Lily sighed heavily, detangling herself from Sirius and giving him an apologetic look. Upon seeing how frightened he seemed, she got up and led Petunia away after mouthing "later" to him.
"So... what's going on, 'tunia?"
"Well... you will never guess who I agreed to go to the Christmas Ball with!"
"Then just tell me already!"
"PETER PETEGREW! I mean, I know I swore I would never go out with a marauder, but he is just so sweet and unlike the rest of those monsters." She sighed and got a far off, dreamy look in her eyes.
Lily smiled, "Congrats! I have to admit that he is cute and sweet, although he is a bit quiet."
"I know, but I'm hoping I can bring him out of his shell a bit. He is so wonderful once you get to know him."
"Now, if you'll excuse me, dear sister, I have to go work on snagging a date of my own."
"Oooooo, got anyone in mind?"
"You'll just have to wait and find out." Lily told her with a smile and bounced away.
"It had better be someone I approve of, Lily Rose Evans! Or you will be in big trouble, missy!"
'Yeah, yeah' Lily thought, ' do I really want to go with Sirius. I want to be sure. Hmmm, maybe James. What the hell? well, he is cute. But he can be such a jerk! Ugh, back to Sirius... Yeah, I think that's who I'm goin' for.'
She convinced herself that she wanted Sirius but she began to have second thoughts after she ran into something hard and gazed into a pair of deep azul eyes for the second time that day.
