=Chapter 6=
It was History of Magic. James woke up from his 15 minute nap to find practically the whole class asleep. Professor Binns in the front of the class didn't seem to notice at all.
"And then the trolls took out weapons and charged the group of wizards who…" Professor Binns's mono-toned voice rang throughout the classroom.
'Him being a ghost and all,' James thought, 'you'd think he'd be a little more interesting!'
He searched the whole classroom, Sirius, Peter and surprisingly even Remus fell into a deep slumber.
'Maybe I should join them,' He thought to himself.
That's when he saw Lily Evans taking notes near the front of the class. Him being at the back of the class, he couldn't send her any notes without waking up a row of students. Her eyes were drooping as if ready to fall asleep at any minute. A few strands that came out of her should be neat ponytail fell over her eyes.
'She really is cute,' he thought to himself, 'Maybe I'll go talk to her at the end of class.'

The bell rang causing the rest of the class to wake up.
"Your homework is to write a foot long essay about this chapter. Write more than the expected length would be some extra credit," Prof. Binns said. If he said anymore, Lily was sure that the class would fall right back to sleep.
She took her sweet time to put her books away, allowing the rest of the class to leave the room. When she was a few feet from the door, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned her head slightly to see James Potter smirking down at her.
"Hey, Evans," He said, ruffling her hair a bit. She rolled her eyes at this one act.
"What do you want now, Potter?" She snapped back at him, "I'm supposed to go meet Ness and be-"
"Well, I wanted to have a little chat with you, but since you're busy," James looked off a bit disappointed, "Say!" He said loudly so it echoed around the hallway. It appeared he found something to cheer up from, "Why don't we continue this chat on Hogsmeade weekend?"
"I'm surprised," Lily began, not taking her eyes off the hallways in front of her, "Usually when you ask me on a date; it's always like some kind of a trade!"
"So you'll go?" He asked, sounding a bit eager.
This time, Lily actually looked at him, but her eyes were filled with anger, "Never would I go out with such an arrogant, bigheaded idiot!" She said, and stormed off.
He watched her go, and ruffled his hair.

"I don't get her!" James groaned, during detention.
"Lily, again," Sirius sighed. It was a statement, not a question, "What happened this time?"
James told his friend what happened, while struggling to clean trophies. It was hard, (With him getting interrupted every so often) but by the time he was finished with the story, they found themselves already walking back to the common room.
"To tell you the truth," Sirius plopped down next to his best friend next to the couch, "I'm just as confused as you are! Maybe you should go to Moony for some advice."
"What do you need advice on now?" Asked a voice from behind him. The two boys turned around to see Remus wearing his usual sweet smile, "I'm not going to let you guys copy my homework again, if that's what you're referring to."
"I need help," James patted the seat next to him, signaling Remus to sit, "on getting Evans to like me."
Remus did take a seat, but in the armchair in front of them, "She thinks you're conceited," he replied.
"Yes, I know that," Grumbled James, his temper acting up again, "But how do I get her to like me?"
"Have you tried stopping the things she hates about you?" Remus asked, obviously enjoying himself.
"I can't change the way I play quidditch well, or the way I'm dead sexy to women," He answered back.
"Dead sexy?" Sirius interrupted.
"No, no, no!" Remus chuckled, "I mean the things that are easy to change."
"Like what?" James asked.
An impish grin came upon Sirius's face, "I have a plan."
=
"Evans!" Sirius came running towards her spot in the common room 3 days later, Remus and Peter close by, "Evans!"
"What?" Lily asked, looking up from her Transfiguration homework.
"Can you give this to James for us?" Remus asked, shoving some chocolate frog boxes into her hands, "We have somewhere to go!"
"Why doesn't he get it himself," Lily asked, looking at the boxes.
"He's sick," Peter answered, looking rushed, "He's in his dorm upstairs! It's the second from the window on left side when you enter!"
And they left.
Lily sighed, put down her book, and made her way upstairs.
She knocked at the door Peter explained. "Come in," Came James's muffled voice.
She did as told. The first thing she saw was James looking horrible! His hair was more messed up than usual, his face was pail, even his glasses were a little askew. Everything chest and down was covered in his blanket.
"Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew wanted me to give these to you," Lily gestured towards the boxes in her hands.
"Thanks," He coughed, "Just put them there," He nodded to the table next to him, "And you can leave," He smiled weakly.

"Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew wanted me to give these to you," Lily gestured towards the boxes in her hands.
"Thanks," James feigned a cough, "Just put them there," He nodded to the table next to him, "And you can leave," He pretended to smile weakly.
She then smiled sorrowfully towards him as she made her way towards the table next to him.
'Have. To. Ruffle. Hair.' He thought, pulling against the ropes that his tied his hands to his bed, 'Need. To. Ruffle. Hair. I must look like an idiot just sitting here, with my hair looking pretty plain! I have too look like a quidditch star! Gotta. Ruffle. Hair!' he was now struggling against the ropes, hoping he could get free.
She sat down on his bed and felt his head, where Remus placed a hot towel, making it seem as if he were sick.
"Well," she said getting up, obviously buying the whole sick thing, "Get well then, Potter."
'She bought it,' He praised himself as she walked out of the room.
=
'How odd. Why didn't he ruffle his hair? Is he too sick to do that, or has he begun to change,' She thought to herself, finally deciding that he was just too sick.
=
James then heard the boys' dorm door shut, "Guys! You can untie me now!"
Silence
"HEY!" James screamed, his voice echoing throughout the room.
Silence
"I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! JUST UNTIE ME ALREADY!" He yelled, struggling against the ropes, "This is a cruel prank! Just untie me!" No one came until half an hour later.
