A/N I love you people!!! I really do! I didn't think I'll get so many reviews! And thanks for being so supportive about my friend who's leaving for London, I didn't think you would even say something about it, I thought it was, you know, little author note that nobody pays attention to ;)

I know I have lots of Grammar mistakes but English isn't my mother tongue so it's not really easy for me to see all the mistakes.

I took the song out of chapter 4 because lots of you thought it was weird and come to think about it I think it's weird too!

Sometimes Bad Leads To Good

Chapter Six: Too Late

The ball drew nearer and nearer and James caught himself staring at Lily more and more.

The Gryffindors had History Of Magic and it was, well it was really boring!

Peter slept, James was looking at Lily and passing notes with Sirius, Lana was trying not to fall asleep and Remus and Lily were actually the only ones who were listening and taking notes.

Sixth time!

-Padfoot

Sixth time what?

-Prongs

It's the sixth time you were starring at Lily today like a complete idiot!

-Padfoot

I was not!

-Prongs

PLEASE!!!

-Padfoot

Ok, so maybe I starred at her once today...

-Prongs

Once?! Once?! Come on Prongs you got it bad for her!!!

-Padfoot

No!!!

-Prongs

Yes!!!

-Padfoot

No!!!

-Prongs

Ask her out to the Christmas ball!

-Padfoot

Why should I?

-Prongs

Because you like her!!!

-Padfoot

Just then the bell ringed at James went out as quickly as possible, to avoid Sirius.



"Just ask her out, will you." The Marauders were sitting in the common room and Sirius, Peter and Remus, who watching James for the last couple of days, were starting to get annoyed with him.

"Ask who out?"

"Lily, you dimwit!!!".

"Why should I ask her out?"

"You're so impossible Prongs!!!"

"Yeah you're mission impossible three!" Peter thought he was funny. (A/N Not!!!)

"Really funny Peter."

"We all know you like Lily, Prongs, so just ask her to the ball."

"But what if she says no?"

"What if she says yes?"

"But what if she says no?"

"But what is she says yes?"

"Well there's only one way finding out: ASK HER!!!"

"For Merlin's sake I don't think they heard you down in Slytherin Sirius!!!"

"Ask her!"

"But-"

"No buts."

"But what if-"

"Hey guys what's up?" Lana just came in through the portrait hole.

"James likes Lily but is afraid to ask her to the ball." Peter gladly informed.

"Thanks Peter." James sulked.

"You like her? That's great!!! You look so cute together!!!" Lana seemed excited.

"You think so?"

"Sure, James, but you have to ask her quickly, you're not the only one that seems interested in her."

"Really?" James asked concerned.

Lana nodded.

"Ask her now ok?"

"Ok, ok." James waited for Lily to come and meanwhile started gathering some courage to ask her.

They waited a while, but Lily didn't show up.

"I'm going to the kitchens, anyone wanted to come?" Peter was hungry.

They all refused.

5 second after he went Lily came in to the common room.

"There's your chance, Jimmie." Sirius whispered to James.

James was so concentrated in asking Lily he didn't even noticed Sirius calling him in the annoying name.

Lily made her way to the group, she seemed excited for some reason.

"Hey!" She said.

"Hey!" Everybody except James said.

"Lily can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, but I want to tell you all something first!"

"What is it?" Lana asked.

"Well, you are not going to believe this but, Amos Diggort asked me to the ball!!!"

An uncomfortable silence came.

"A- and what did you say?" James said without looking at her eyes.

"I said yes of course!" Lily didn't understand why everybody were so quiet.

Suddenly Lana remembered she was supposed to be the supporting friend and that Lily didn't know what James felt.

"That's great Lily!" She jumped and hugged her.

"I know."

"Let's go upstairs and pick a dress!"

"Alright!" Lily went up and Lana followed, not before signaling Remus and Sirius to comfort James.

James watched Lily go up.

Again the uncomfortable silence came.

Just then Peter came in eating sweets he got from the house elves.

"Hey, what did I miss?" He asked.

"Nothing!!!" James yelled at his and stormed to his dorm.

Remus and Sirius waited a second and then ran after James.

"What?" Peter asked the rest of the common room who was watching him.



At the girls dorm Lana and Lily were looking for dresses.

"Do you have any idea why the guys acted so strange when I told them about me and Amos?" Lily asked.

"Well, Lily, you see," Lana decided to tell the truth. "They were trying to see who could shut up for the longest!" Or not.

"Oh." Lily was too happy to be suspicious.

Lana was relived.

"I can't believe I'm going with Amos Diggory!!!"

"Yeah, you're so lucky."

"I know. Whom are you going with?"

"I don't know yet." Some already asked Lana but she declined all of them.

"I'm going with Amos Diggory to the ball, I'm going with Amos Diggory to the ball!

Lily singed, while trying on more dresses.

Lana sighed.

*Why wasn't James faster?*



A/N Oh, I hate myself for doing this. Why indeed wasn't James faster? Well, if he did, it wouldn't have been so interesting. I'm sorry if I rushed it a bit but I really wanted to write it already.

I want to thank everybody who reviewed my story and because I never said thank you in my other chapters I'm going to thank everybody who reviewed my story at all:]

Mage of Fire - Oops! You're right, how stupid can I be? She's not Molly Weasly cause she didn't marry him yet. I actually wanted to write "Molly right?" in the sentence but I got confused.

SanDiEE - Thanks for "constructive criticism". It did sound a bit like a flame but if you didn't mean it to be I won't take it as one. I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes but English isn't my mother tongue, I only learned it at school! Oh, and thanks for giving me my longest review!
