Disclaimer: Hey! I got one more review! YAY! Lol.

"The date's in an hour!" exclaimed Kelly.

"Oh, oops. I guess I lost track of time," replied Lily.

"Well, at least you don't take a long time, like SOME people I know," Shawna said, eyeing Kelly. Lily quickly put on a pair of hiphuggers and an emerald green top. She put her red hair into a messy bun adorned with two green hair chopsticks and a lily. She quickly put on pink eye shadow, blush, and melon gloss.

"You look great!" Kelly exclaimed. Shawna agreed.

"Thanks, girls!" Lily said happily. Lily walked to the Grand Hall and saw students piling in, ready to go to Hogsmeade. She immediately saw Dakota talking to Amos Diggory and Frank Longbottom.

"Hey, Dakota!" said Lily. Dakota turned around and smiled.

"Hey Lily. What's up?" asked Dakota.

"Not much, what about you?" Lily replied.

"Great. Ready to go?" Dakota asked. Lily nodded her head. Lily couldn't help but notice how hot he looked. He had made his brown hair spiky with gel and was wearing a navy blue shirt and loose jeans. When they arrived at Hogsmeade, it was 6:00 pm.

"See you in an hour, Lils," said Dakota. Lily waved goodbye and walked to Zonko's. She walked in when she bumped into someone.

"Oh sorry-" Lily started.

"Oh no, it's m-" said the other person.

"James?" Lily interrupted. He looked up.

"Lily?" James asked.

"Oh, sorry," she said.

"Oh no, really. It's my fault," James replied.

"So, well, bye," Lily said.

"Bye," James replied. He sighed and left Zonko's. Lily started looking at the dungbombs, Filibuster's Fireworks, and FFSFs (see chapter 3, paragraph one). She remembered her first date with James. How much fun they both had, the smiles they shared. It all seemed in the past now. It was now five minutes until 7:00. Lily quickly bought Filibuster's Fireworks and left Zonko's. She walked to the Three Broomsticks. She saw Dakota sitting at a table. He looked up and smiled.

"Hey, Lily!" Dakota exclaimed.

"Hi Dakota!" she said back.

"Come! Sit down with me," he said as Lily walked over. She sat down as Madam Garland came over. She was a happy, rosy-cheeked woman.

"Would you like anything, dears?" she asked cheerfully.

"I'll have a butterbeer and what would you like Lily?" Dakota said.

"I'll have a butterbeer too," Lily replied.

"Oh, it's a very chilly day. Some butterbeer will warm you right up," said Madam Garland.

"I'm hoping so," replied Lily. Madam Garland walked away and Dakota asked politely,

"Would you like my jacket?" Lily smiled at his sweet gesture and nodded her head. He got up out of his chair and put his jacket around her. Madam Garland came with the drinks and put them on the table.

"You two make such a CUTE couple," said Madam Garland. They both blushed and smiled at each other.

James and the other Marauders were sitting two tables away from the "couple".

"They disgust me," James said.

"I thought you two broke up," said Remus.

"We did," said James.

"Sounds like someone's JEALOUS," Sirius teased.

"I am not!" exclaimed James.

"Sure, uh huh," said Peter. I'm not, hought James, not much.
