Chapter 4- Q & A

The rest of the day Lily seemed rather shaky. It was obviously because of being picked up by the giant squid and, even possibly, her newfound attraction to James Potter.

The next class they went to after lunch was rather awkward between Lily and all the marauders in fact. She was tending to distance herself from them on their way to Transfiguration. James could see what she was doing and thought it was a very inappropriate way to act towards someone who had just saved your life.

"Ok class, quiet down!" said the very young Professor McGonnagall sternly as the arriving students sat at their desks, "Today we have two students absent since Gilderoy Lockhart was talking and walking backwards at the same time and hit a wall and now needs a 'nose job' I think he called it," Professor McGonnagall said as the class laughed, "Also Remus Lupin is missing again so this will require a changing of partners." Lily figured this was because it is a full moon tonight and left to go to that abandoned house near Hogsmeade, "So Mr. Potter could you please move next to Ms. Evans and we will begin our leason today in which we will be transfiguring….."

Lily was not paying attention to the class since James was coming over towards her she cleared her stuff off that side of the table.

"Can I talk to you?" James asked.

"Sure, I guess."

"Since the whole rather-be-seen-with-the-giant-squid-than-you thing didn't work out, do you think you can now be seen with me?" James asked her, but not like any other way he had previously asked her out, this time it seemd like he meant it. Lily's mind raced. She didn't know whether to stick to her reputation of being against the marauders or to listen to the little voice inside her head that said, "He did save your life and plus he has a great ass!"

So then she said to him, "Yes I will," she had decided to give him a chance since she had shot him down so many times before, but he still tried to win her heart and he had finally done it.

As soon as she said this James appeared at their side, "What James actually got the girl of his dreams!?"

"I was the girl of your dreams?" Lily asked sounding surprised.

"Well yeah…" James said blushing, "You still are." The whole class was now staring at them.

"That is very sweet Mr. Potter but it has nothing to do with Transfiguration." Professor McGonnagall said as the class then went back to work.
