A/N: Hey, wzp? I'm bored and cold. Here's Chapter Eleven. I apologize. I made a mistake.
Lily got books on Charms from Remus for Christmas. She got candy from honeydukes and The Lord of the Rings trilogy from Sirius. James got her a baby owl that had a candy cane around his neck. She named the owl Peppermint.
Sorry about that lil mix-up thingy. Don't eat me...that came from no where. Anyways, enjoi this chapter and REVIEW! Please.
Chapter Eleven: Hmm...
James Potter, according to his Quidditch team, had finally snapped. He started their practices in *very* early January. In negative degree weather, the Gryffindor Quidditch team could be seen on the pitch four times a week.
Even though it sucked, it led them to a win over Hufflepuff in late March, four hundred and ninety to ten.
The Easter holidays were nothing, but work for Sirius and Peter. All of the others had worked hard to finish all of their work before the two week break. They were able to spend their time flying and loafing about instead of working.
James, Lily, Remus, and Aimie spent most of the Easter holidays down at Hagrid's hut. He was happy to have them. James disappeared into Hogsmeade to get butterbeer and sweets often. The Marauders had learned early on not to eat anything Hagrid cooked.
Lily was in the couch in front of the fire enjoying a rare moment of peace. With the exception of herself, the common room was deserted. She liked being alone to sort out her thoughts, it always helped.
Remus, Aimie, and Sirius had begun to bug James. They wanted him to ask her out. Peter didn't give a rat's ass because he was a scumbag who was undeserving of their friendship. The other three wouldn't leave him alone, though, so he decided to give it a go.
He walked into the common room and went to sit down next to Lily.
"Hey, James," she said.
"Hey, Lil, what're you doing?" James asked.
"Not much," Lily replied. "I'm just thinking about stuff..."
James nodded. After a few minutes of 'mental preparation' and he was ready. "Lily, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, James, you know you can ask me anything," she said.
James took a few deep breaths. "What would you do if I kissed you right now?"
Lily's eyebrows raised. "Excuse me?"
James took another deep breath and leaned in. He caught her by surprise and she tensed a bit, but then relaxed and leaned into the kiss and put her arms around James' neck. James half-expected her to slap him at first, but when she leaned in, he relaxed.
When they pulled back because of the lack of oxygen, James was crimson and Lily was grinning like an idiot.
"James? *James*? JAMES? SNAP OUT OF IT!" Lily shouted, waving her hand in front of his face.
"Huh? Oh, sorry. I've just wanted to do that for a long time."
"Really, now?" Lily said.
James nodded. "One more question, Lily. What would you do if I asked you to be my girlfriend?"
"I'm thinking that I'd say something like yes." Lily smiled and jumped up and whooped.
"Lily Evans is my girlfriend!" he shouted to no one in particular.
Three shouts of, "IT'S ABOUT TIME, YOU IDIOTS!" came from the boys' stairs. Aimie, Remus, and Sirius appeared at the stairs.
Lily and James looked at each other, and then at their friends. Peter chose to enter the common room at that moment. When he looked around he asked, "Did I miss anything?" Everyone started to laugh.
"Only the usual, Pete...everything," said Sirius.
"Welcome to the Quidditch Cup Decider!" Remus said into the magical megaphone. "As everyone in this whole damned school knows, it's Slytherin versus Gryffindor. Joining me to commentate today, for no particular reason, is Lily Evans."
"Here comes Madame Hootch with the four balls," Lily announced. "First out are the two bludgers, next comes the golden snitch."
"Players, take your positions!" Madame Hootch yelled.
"The quaffle is up," said Remus.
"Potter makes a grab and gets the quaffle with no trouble at all. He passes to Kalis," Lily kept on top of it well.
"POTTER SCORES! Ten to zero!" both commentators shouted together.
Remus started up again. "Snape gets the quaffle, Black knocks it out of his hands with some great bludger work. Gryffindor in possession, Kalis gets the ball past the keeper, and it's another ten points to Gryffindor!"
In the next thirty minutes, Slytherin in had scored twice, Gryffindor had scored three times, and they had to replace their seeker due to the Wronskey Feint.
The Slytherin seeker, who just happened to be Malfoy, proved to be pretty good with his Feints. The reserve seeker had to go in for Gryffindor.
"Here comes Gryffindor's reserve seeker, LILY EVANS!" Remus said.
Lily flew up and took a warm-up lap around the stadium. Play resumed five minutes later. Sirius was giving Malfoy a hell of a time. The Slytherin was nearly unseated by a bludger at least a dozen times.
"Black is keeping Malfoy busy while Evans is searching for the snitch and Potter has just beaten the keeper, sixty to twenty in favor of the Lions." Lily dove. "There goes Evans! Malfoy is on her tail. Black belts a bludger his way...oh, that has *got* to hurt. (A/N: do you catch my drift on the gotta hurt thing?) Evans pulls up...SHE HAS THE SNITCH! GRYFFINDOR WINS THE CUP!" Remus was jumping up and down like a maniac, totally undignified.
He ran down to where the rest where the team had landed shouting, "Two-ten to twenty! Two-ten to twenty!"
A/N: Was that good? James and Lily are together, yay! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!! BTW, I have a new story up, it's called 'I HAVE NO TITLE'. It would be much appreciated if you were to r/r it...thankie.
l8r peepz!
