The five ran down to the dungeons and entered the classroom with at the
exact same time as the bell.
"You're just in time boys." Fungus snared.
"As always, professor. We wouldn't want to miss one minute of your wonderful lessons." Sirius said.
"And we don't want to lose Gryffindor too much house-points." James whispered to Lily, who had trouble suppressing her giggles.
"Something funny, Miss Evans?" Fungus snapped.
"No sir. I was just thinking of a prank I pulled on my sister." She answered quickly.
"Care you like to share it with the class?"
"Yes."
"It wasn't a request."
"Well, I just turned her platinum blond hair purple, that's all. It was just a funny sight that's all." Lily replied.
"Don't let a funny site interfere with my class again."
"It won't happen again, professor."
"Ten points from Gryffindor."
They took their seats in the back. (A/N: From left to the right; Remus, Harry, Lily, James and Sirius.)
"Thanks for lying, Lils." James whispered. "If he had know what I said to make you laugh we would have lost a lot more points."
"No problem, I though it wouldn't be fair towards you." She answered.
During potions they had to make a growth potion for the plants of Herball and of course the Marauders were having fun throughout the period, but making sure Fungus had no excuse to deduct more points from Gryffindor.
~~~ A few weeks later, library~~~
Lily was busy with her Transfiguration homework. The Marauders had already finished theirs, but they insisted on staying with her to keep her company. She was really grateful for that.
She looked up from the book she'd been reading for more information and hopefully make her understand what in Merlin's name she was doing. Remus was reading a book about runes, Sirius was walking around being bored, Harry had his nose in 'Hogwarts: A History' and James was just staring into oblivion.
"Why are you reading that book, Harry?"
"Because one of my friends, Hermione, read it and is always complaining Ron and I know so little about Hogwarts and I got bored." He said sheepishly. "How's your homework coming?"
"Not good, I don't understand one thing about what I'm doing."
"I'll help." James snapped out of his daydream.
"Thanks."
James got up and sat down next to her, explaining about the subject and pointing in the book.
"Can we leave now, I don't think I've ever been this long in here." Sirius whined.
"You can go if you want, Padfoot. I'm staying." James said.
"Come on, Moony and I'll come with you." Harry winked.
"GREAT!" Sirius yelled and earned himself a glare from Madam Pinch.
The three left and James and Lily were now alone in the library. (A/N: Somehow there were no other students what so ever. ::laughs evilly::)
After ten minutes Lily was finished.
"Thanks, James."
"No problem, that's what friends are for." He smiled and she smiled back shyly.
James noticed a eyelash on her cheek.
"Don't move."
"What?"
James brushed the eyelash away, softly. His hazel eyes meeting her emerald ones.
"An eyelash." He smiled sheepishly.
"Thanks."
"Come on, they other three are probably still bored to death."
"Ok." Lily broke their eye-contact.
James sighed softly and helped Lily pack her things. He noticed his friends had been so good as to take his bag with them.
"Here let me carry that, the others have been so kind to take mine with them." He offered.
Lily blushed and gave him her bag.
'I knew James was kind, but I never expected him to be a gentleman.' She thought.
James threw the bag over his shoulder. They walk the first half of the way back in silence, both lost in their own thoughts.
"Hey Lily?"
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Well, I though, euh, maybe now we're friends and all, you euh, would like to go on that date I've been offering you for the past two years or something."
"You never change do you?" She answered.
James sighed, he knew he would be turned down again.
"But I did change, so I think I'll except that offer."
James beamed.
"Really?"
"Yeah, now I know you, you're a very different person then I though you were."
"Well, I might have changed a bit, since Harry's here and all."
"I'm glad you did. Butterbeer." The fat lady swung open. "When?"
"Next Friday?"
"Fine with me."
"Great." James was still beaming and if it's possible
'James really does look happy now I agreed to go on that date with him, maybe he really meant it when he said he liked me.'
Sirius winked at James when he saw his friend carrying Lily's bag. Remus had taken James' bag on purpose, so James would be able to carry Lily's.
"Hey Prongs. I see that course your parents sent you to is finally paying of." Remus joked.
"Yes, well, how could I resist such a lovely lady?" James said and Lily tried to hide her blush, but the Marauders noticed and decided to ask James as soon as they were alone.
"Anyone in for a game of chess?" Sirius asked.
"I am." Harry, James and Lily said.
"I can only play to one opponent, you know." Sirius laughed.
"Harry can play against you and Prongs can play against Lily." Remus said smirking.
"Brilliant." The other four exclaimed.
~~~Four games later~~~
"I'm tired, I'm going to bed. See you tomorrow, guys." Lily said and walked up to her dorm.
The Marauders did the same and as soon as the door was closed James was bombed with questions.
"What was that all about?" Sirius demanded.
"What was what all about?" James acted stupid.
"Lily blushed when you said she was a lovely lady." Remus said simply.
"Oh that, well, step three is started." James smiled.
"What?" Sirius asked.
"Lily agreed to go out with me." James said happily as he let himself fall onto his bed and disappeared into la-la-land.
Sirius did a small victory-dance that made Harry and Remus crack up.
The three changed into pyjama's, but couldn't get James to snap out of his la-la-land trip, so Harry let Sirius throw a bucket of ice-water in his face.
"What did you do that for?" James yelled.
"To get you out of la-la-land and into bed where you can dream of your sweet Flower, without bugging us." Sirius replied. "And it was Harry's idea."
"How dare you accuse my son of your stupid idea's?" James faked to be angry.
"Just go to sleep, Prongs." Remus said.
"And if you say 'Lily' in your sleep one more time, I'll put duck tape over your mouth." Harry warned.
"Be glad Sirius didn't get a girl up here since you came, now that are sounds you definitely don't want to hear." James laughed.
"Go to sleep, love-sick mind." Sirius yelled.
~~~Next morning~~~
James was taking another trip into la-la-land while walking down to the common room.
Harry was the first down and spotted Lily.
"Hey, Lily."
"Hi Harry."
James snapped out of his daydream.
"Lils!" He said happily. The other Marauders sniggered.
'James must have told them I agreed to that date.'
"Hey James, got something planned for Friday?"
"Yeah, something really special, but I'm not telling anyone." James smiled mysteriously.
"I can't wait. Shale we go to breakfast then?"
The other four agreed.
A/N: I know, I know, short chapter, but I can't think of anything more, but I know the next chapter will be longer, so please review?
Next chapter: Lily and James on their first date.
Oh and I got another idea for a new fic:
A Day In The Live Of Preschool Harry
Harry in preschool, uncontrolled magic, lousy teachers and bullies (manly Dudley and his gang)
