Author's Note: So sorry it took me sooo long to update but life's been pretty busy. No, it's not over yet. Harry still has to get back to the future remember? ... hehehe... So here's the next chapter! Enjoy and review!

I'm nervous. Very nervous. Can you believe I've never been on a date in my life? Sure, I've been asked but I've kinda always been in love with James...

What to wear, what to wear....

"Rachel!" I whine, "Help me find something to wear!"

"As fun as that sounds I think I'll pass."

"Please?!?"

"No, now leave me alone Emily's about to be sawed to pieces."

"Huh?"

Rachel's into these horror books. That must be what she's talking about. I couldn't read those things if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to sleep for a month.

"Emily. She's locked in the house with the killer. I don't care what you wear and I'm sure Potter doesn't either so just pick something out and leave me alone."

"Why don't you go read in the common room if all my mindless chatter is annoying you?" I say in a sarcastically sweet voice.

"A) it's more noisy in the common room than up here. B) Sirius is down there," she mutters the last part.

"I can't believe you're still hiding from him! It's ridicules! Everybody's forgotten about that stupid soul mate potion!"

"I prefer it up here anyway."

"Sure you do," and I turn back to my wardrobe.

I finally manage to find a suitable outfit to wear, but by the time this had been achieved I'd received two owls and five third year girls from James telling me to hurry up and he didn't give a damn what I wore. Needless to say it did little to speed up my pace.

I had finally settle on an outfit that consists on a pair of jeans and a purple jumper. I look damn cute if I do say so myself.

"Finally! What took you so long?"

"Why thank you James! I do look cute today don't I? What's that? The wait was defiantly worth it? Aw, You're so sweet!" I gave James a look before heading out of the portrait hole.

I hear James' footsteps running after me. "Your right, I'm sorry. It was rude of me..."

"Damn right you were."

"You do look pretty today. And you're worth the wait. And I don't just mean today."

"Don't you forget it!"

He grins, "Never."

He holds out a hand, "Shall we?"

I smile and take his hand.

The two of us walk down to Hogsmead hand-in-hand, my head resting softly on his shoulder in a comfortable silence.

"Lily?" he asks quietly almost in a whisper.

"Yeah?" I say tilting my head up so I can look into his eyes.

"I love you, you know that right?"

"Of course. And I love you too."

"Good."

"Great," I say it with authority.

We smile at each other. I do a lot of that when I'm around him lately, smiling.

"You make me happy." I inform him.

"You make me happy too."

"Good."

"Great," he says and I hear rather than see the grin in his voice as he says this.

AN: Yes, I know this is very short but I promise there'll be a really long chapter and I promise it'll be soon. But isn't this sweet? So please review, cause they mean the world to me and my birthday's February 16 so you can wish me a happy birthday and tell me what you think of this story. (Hint, hint) Constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome. So yeah, that's all for now. ~Allison
