What had Remus and her done? *Oh god...if the others find out, what will happen?*
Ever since Remus had asked her for a date, she had been wondering this. Today was the day of the date. She was in the bathroom, getting ready. She put some sparkly lip gloss on, and some mascara. She had straightened her hair, and left it down. She was wearing a blue jean skirt and white tanktop.

'Going somewhere?' Bella asked. She nodded.

'Date, with Remus,' she replied. Bella gasped.

'But, Lily, you must see sense! James likes you!'

'Ah, but Arabella, you don't see sense. So does Remus, and I like him back!' Lily snapped.

'Okay, but don't blame me,' she replied.

'We're just going for a nice picnic!' exclaimed Lily. Arabella rolled her eyes, and put her glitter on.

'All ready?' Lily asked. Arabella nodded her head yes, and they stepped out of their dorms and walked down the stairs. They came into the common room. Lily saw Remus's eyes light up. She stepped up to him and extended her hand. He took it and led her off to Hogsmeade, where they would have a picnic.

'Thanks for coming with me, Lily,' Remus said as they walked into the bright sunshine. She nodded.

'It's a pleasure,' Lily replied. He smiled. He led her into a meadow that she had never seen before, and spread out a silk blanket for her to sit on.

'Oh, Remus! It's beautiful!' she exclaimed happily. He grinned even wider, his eyes shining. They sat down, and Remus conjured a large picnic basket, full of delicious food. Lily began to eat(..ladylike, of course..) and so did Remus.

'Remus, this chicken is so good!' Lily exclaimed. She was so hungry! Remus was eating his share, too.

'I know! I especially like the strudel,' he said, speaking of the apple strudel. She nodded. When they finished, Remus began to speak.

'Lily, I like you a lot...' he confessed. 'But a friend of mine likes you even more. I never would betray my best friend, you see..' he trailed off.

'I understand, remus,' she said gently. 'But who is this friend?'

'Only time will tell Lily, you will see,' he said mysteriously, grinning.

'But, Remus!' she contradicted. He held his hand up at her, and motioned for her to stop talking.

'He'll show you when he is ready, and that's all I can say,' Remus told her. They got up and dusted themselves off. Remus vanished the blanket, basket, and any extra food. They walked back silently, Lily wondering who must be her admirer. She could not figure it out. Surely not Sirius, he had many, many girlfriends. Peter, not likely, poor fellow. James Potter...surely not! He was her friend, enemy, and fellow Gryffindor. She had Amos! But..James did seem to hate Amos with almost a passion. So..was it James. Like Remus said, only time would tell, and tell it did.
-----------------------------------------
'Oh, Lily! How was it?' Bella asked her friend when Lily stepped through the portrait-hole.

'Great, the food was excellant,' she loved to let Bella hang in suspense!

'Lily! How was the date part, like Remus?' Bella said impatiently.

'It was fine,' Lily said. 'Ill tell you the rest later.' It was a good thing she had said this, because just then the boys came busting in, out of breath. Remus walked over to Lily, and Lily swore she could see just a little bit of hurt on James's face as they sat down together.

'Sorry, Lily,' he apologized.

'Its okay, Remus, really,' she okayed. He smiled and patted her leg.

'Gotta go then, see ya around!' and with that, three of the Marauders took off.
------------------------------------------
Arabella started jumping on top of Lily's bed.

'Tell me tell me tell me tell me about the daaaaate!' she screeched. Lily grinned.

'Okay,' she said.

'Well first, we sat down and ate this gorgeous meal. Then we talked, and then left...' she explained.

'Uh, hello.....DETAILS?' Bella exclaimed.

'Okay, okay. Well, first he took me to this beautiful meadow, with birds, rabbits, and lillies!' Lily gushed. Bella nodded.

'Go on,'

'Right. Well then he conjured a silk blanket, and we sat down. He conjured a feast, also, and we ate. It was delicious!' she told. Arabella motioned for Lily to go on.

'Next, when we were finished, we talked. He said that his friend likes me and he couldn't betray his friend, and I said okay. And then we walked back here,' she concluded.

'That was all?!' Bella said.

'Well...yeah,' Lily confessed, blushing. Bella shook her head, obviously disgusted. Arabella went to her bed, and they both closed their curtains. The next day, Lily woke with a start.

'What?! Why'm I up?' Lily was confused.

'Qudditch game!' Ah, that explained it. Arabella played Quidditch, as a chaser. Lily sat up, and got dressed. Arabella was already dressed in her bloodred Gryffindor quidditch robes. Lily combed her hair, and smoothed it with Sleakeazy's hair serum. They were ready to go. Arabella and Lily clambered down the stairs, and once again, Lily was dragged to another Quidditch match.
---------------------------------------
'Ready, everyone?' Potter asked his team. Everyone shook their heads. It was Slytherin vs. Gryffindor.
'We give you.. FIGG! PATIL! WOOD! WEASLEY! BLACK!' the commentator yelled. 'Annnnnddd..POTTER!'. The whole stadium seemed to be shaking with the amout of shouts, yells, and cheers from the other Gryffindor students.
'Now, I want a nice clean game from all of you,' Madam Hooch said to the teams, particularly looking at the Slytherins.
They all nodded. Hooch blew her whistle and the teams took off. Arabella was the first to score, flying quickly but gracefully on her brand-new broom. James, of course, was looking around for the snitch. He flew around absentmindly. He smiled as he saw Lily sitting in the stands. James suddenly spotted the Golden Snitch. He flew as fast as his Nimbus(the newest broom developed, of course) would go. It was gone. He had missed it. He silently cursed to himself. He had to get the Snitch before Malfoy did! Malfoy family was an enemy of the Potter family. He hated Malfoy.
'JAMES!' James heard someone calling him, and looked up. There was Sirius. He was pointing at the snitch! There it was! But, Lucius Malfoy heard Sirius too, and took a dive. James went forward and sped up. Come on broom, come on, he thought. There it was next to Malfoy and he didn't even see it! It was right above his head. He would have to do something....
'MALFOY! BELOW YOU!' James shouted, faking the snitch. Arabella and Remus had both scored again,twice. He heard the scoreboard ding, changing the number from 30 to 50. Gryffindor cheered. The snitch hadn't moved from its spot, and James sped higher up, and caught the snitch. Gryffindor cheered. Slytherin looked rather downcast. The Gryffindor team landed on the ground, and cheered. Lily ran up to Arabella and hugged her.

'Good job!' she complimented.

'Where's mine?' Sirius said.

'Your what?' Lily asked.

'My hug!' Sirius joked. Lily was so happy, she did hug him, which made Sirius grin as big as the Chesire Cat. Someone poked Lily, and she snapped around, back to attention. It was her boyfriend, Amos Diggory.

'Amos!' she said, giving him a hug too.

'Going hug happy today, are we?' he inquired. Lily frowned. Just then, James saw Diggory and Lily. Lily knew James hated Amos because Amos was seeker for Hufflepuff.

'Diggory, celebrating Gryffindors win, too? Too bad you couldn't win also,' James said gruffly. Amos and James stared at each other stonily, that is until Lily cleard her throat at them.

'I will talk to you later, James,' Lily said icily.

'Since when do you talk to him?' Amos asked.

'Excuse me, but he IS in my house,' she replied.

'Awfully friendly with him, eh?' Amos asked, yet again getting on Lily's nerves. She steered Amos away.
----------------------------------------------

ARABELLA FIGG!' Lily shouted. 'GET UP NOW!'

'Just five more minutes,' she said sleepily.

'No.'

'Then how about 4?' Bella asked,

'No.'

'3?'

'No!'

'2??!!'

NO!'

'30 seconds?'

'ARABELLA FIGG, IF YOU DON'T GET UP I'LL TELL SIRIUS--' but Lily was cut off when Bella tackled her to the ground.

'You'll tell Sirius what, perhaps?' Bella said gruffly.

'Oh, nothing, just that you lik---' Lily was interrupted yet again when Bella covered her mouth up. Lily licked Bella's hand and Bella let go.

'Disgusting!' she shouted. Lily grinned like the Chesire Cat.

'Well, it worked!' Lily said happily. The two best friends laughed, packed their bags, and headed for the common room.
