Lily and James walked to the library together, to James' delight. They were walking in silence but that was the way Lily wanted to be. All she wanted was to talk about the incantations and how the spells worked. No talking about her social life or why she wouldn't go out with James. Lily really found that annoying.

James was a different story. He wished he could leave all that spell talk behind and talk about why she wouldn't go out with him. Well, James usually got what he wanted.

"So, Lily, I was wondering why you won't go out with me. I mean, what's so bad about me?" James asked, actually sounding serious (A/N-I didn't use it- ) for once.

Lily was infuriated. How could he bring that up now? It was her secret, so that was for her to know and him to (A/N-and him to find out:-) shut up about. No way in Lala Land was he ever going to find out. Or so she thought-

"I don't want to talk about that!" she snapped. Ah, but James didn't give up that easily.

"Lily, just tell me. What's wrong with me that you don't like?" James said, stopping and turning towards her.

Lily stopped as well. "I'm not going to tell him. Lie! I need a lie, now, or I could just act as Lily" she thought hurriedly, not looking at his face.

"Well, your arrogant, for one thing. Selfish. You have an ego that could fill up all of Europe. And-" She said. Shouldn't have let that "and" slip.

"And?" James inquired.

Lily sighed. His hazel eyes were so, pleading. Irresistible. She knew he would never give up. He'd ask her until she died. Yes, that was James Potter for you. A nevergiverupper (A/N- u know what I mean **sigh**).

"I don't want to tell you. It's a secret that I never tell." Lily said, tearing her eyes away from his face.

"Okay. Don't tell me." James said sincerely.

Lily looked back up. He, of all people, be considerate? She was dumbfounded. She was totally lost for words, which was unusual for Lily Evans.

"But for that arrogant and selfish part, I can change that. If you want." He said, smiling at her.

Lily couldn't believe what she was hearing. Change?

"W-why?" she stuttered.

"For you. So you'll go out with me." He answered, cocking his head to the side.

Lily thought he was adorable when he did that. So, he was willing to change for her. Sweet, but impossible. He could never change. Nope, but it would be fun to see him try. Every time Snape walked by, every time he looked himself in the mirror.

"I don't think you can, sorry. It's impossible. I don't think you can ever change." She said, as she tucked a red strand of hair behind her ear.

"We'll see" James said, slightly hurt, and walked down the corridor towards the library.

Lily followed him. When they reached the library, Lily and James took on as formal. James taught her Transfiguration for a half hour and then they switched off. It wasn't too bad, since James hadn't talked about anything besides spells and wand positions.

When the "class" was over, Lily made up her mind on something that had been bugging her.

"Uh, Potter?" she asked, inhaling deeply.

"Yeah?" James answered, packing up his sack.

" Er. About that secret of mine, um, I'll tell you if you want." She said, ignoring the look James was giving her.

"Sure, if you want" he shrugged. He was quite surprised. Lily hardly even said anything to him, and now she was telling him secrets? Weird.

"Well, I'm scared of having a relationship, so don't change" Lily said quietly, and she turned her heel and ran down the corridor.
