Disclaimer: Je ne own pas Harry Potter. (That is the tenure of my French.
Je means I and ne pas makes something negative. quite original I think!)
Authors Note: Thanks for reading!! I noticed something today. I was in Study Hall and Lauren was reading my story and in hallway patrol part one, none of James' notes show up!! They were italicized so they were left out. I'll be changing that soon, so sorry if it was confusing! I'm in a really Harry Pottery mood right now. I'm listening to the soundtrack! It's good background music!

Hogsmeade part one
James was the first to awake the next morning, and he was really happy for some reason. It took a second for him to remember, and then the events from the previous night came flooding back to him. He jumped up, and shouted to all of the boys in the dormitory, "I have a date with Lily Evans!"
Some of the boys were a bit more supportive than others this early in the morning. Peter sat up and rubbed his eyes with an interested look, and Frank got out of bed and started getting ready for the day, both boys listening to James intently.
Remus sat up with a yawn, stretched his arms over his head and said "Good for you. You've only been trying since what? Fourth year?"
"Yea, but the point is, I have a date with Lily Evans!"
Sirius just turned over in his bed, and mumbled something that sounded like "Shout one more time and I'll curse your nose off."
James did a little jig around the room and went into an explanation of how this came about. "Well, we were studying last night in the Room of Requirement. Then Padfoot and Amanda burst in making out, so I gave them detention and sent them off to bed." Remus gaped at the part about detention but didn't say anything. "Well after that we decided to stop studying and we had to search the halls to make sure that no students were out of bed. After we had patrolled the hallways, I suggested that we check the owlery to make sure a certain couple hadn't vacated there. Obviously I knew they hadn't, but she agreed."
"Anyway, we were looking out the window talking about um, stuff and then I asked her why she wouldn't go out with me. Believe it or not, she said it's because she didn't trust herself around me! Can you believe it?" He paused for breath, but Remus couldn't get a word in edgewise. James continued. "Well, then I asked her why she couldn't trust herself and she didn't know. I put my arms around her waist and then she looked into my eyes. She has the best eyes. They're like glowing green emeralds. I could spend hours gazing into them. Anyway, we just looked into each others eyes and then I asked her if she wanted to go to Hogsmeade with me, and she said yes."
"Wow James, sounds really roman-" Remus started to say, but James cut him off.
"Wait, there's more. After she said yes, we both leaned in and kissed! Can you believe it? I kissed Lily Evans!" He walked over to Sirius' bed, leaned right up to his ear and shouted "I KISSED LILY EVANS!"
Sirius let out a snarl, hopped out of bed and attacked James with a pillow. He had him down on the floor when Lily entered the dormitory. "Is everything alright in here? I heard shouting."
The two boys disentangled themselves from the pillows and blankets strewn about the floor and looked at her sheepishly. "Everything is fine." Remus said, saving James the embarrassment.
"Ok, is this a morning ritual? Wrestling before breakfast?"
Frank looked from Lily to Sirius and James and said, "Yea, but only when James wakes Sirius up before he's ready."
"Oh, ok then. You guys better get ready. Classes start in about a half hour, and we have Potions first period. You know how Professor Domroy gets."
"Er, right." James said, inwardly groaning. He hated Potions. Professor Domroy was always finding reasons to take house points away from Gryffindor. "I don't mind if you stay, but we need to get changed. All of that mental undressing can come true, you know." James said slyly, waggling his eyebrows.
Lily giggled and said "Not today James. I'll meet you guys down in the Great Hall." She turned and exited the room, shaking her head in disbelief at James.
The boys turned to him quizzically. Sirius raised an eyebrow and asked, "What was that about?"
James turned away and said "Nothing, just a joke we have going." He started to pull on his school clothes. "Now, did I mishear her or did she say 'not today,' meaning that someday it might happen?" James looked thoughtful for a moment then answered his own question. "Of course it's going to happen. We're going to get married, have 20 kids and live happily ever after." He grabbed his bag and left the dormitory heading down to the Great Hall.
When he got there, he sat down next to Lily who had saved a seat for him. They ate breakfast and then headed off to Potions as the bedraggled Gryffindor boys trooped in to have breakfast. They wanted to avoid questioning.
*
Weeks flew by really fast. James and Lily were getting along, and hanging out with each other as much as possible. They explored their private common room behind the crazy knight and found it was perfect for studying. It clearly hadn't been used for awhile. The most recent book in there was over 50 years old, but Lily and James enjoyed it. They didn't have to worry about Sirius and Amanda bursting in on them, and they were free to stay there as long as they wanted.
Before either of them even realized, the first Hogsmeade weekend was upon them. The morning before, James was a nervous wreck. He had been trying to get a date with Lily since fourth year, and here was his chance. He didn't want to blow it.

Authors Note: Sorry if it seemed a little rushed. I didn't want to go into an explanation of the potions class and everything, so I just cut it out. Anyway, please read and review!! Thanks!
