Author's Note: Several people have asked me some questions and I decided that now is a good time to answer them:
1. I will tell you what the "secret" about Torrance will be.
2. I am going to make a sequel to this story after I have finished it.
3. I'm partially following the books on this so James and Lily will eventually get together...just in the future.
4. I am writing this story about Lily and Remus mostly because I think because of their personalities they would have made a cute couple.
I also have a question for my reviewers:
I was thinking about having a lesson with Lily and Remus about kissing. Do you think this is pushing it with the relationship because if I do put this in their lesson will be strictly professional, not romantical.
Chapter Title: Lily's Mystery Date
DISCLAIMER: THE CHARACTERS ARE NOT MINE...I know it's so hard to believe but unfortunately...I'm telling the truth.
***LILY'S POV***
Lily and Remus ran all the way back to the common room to retrieve their broomsticks from their school trunks.
She was waiting what seemed to be forever downstairs for Remus when her patience wore thin.
"Hurry up Remus!" Lily yelled
"Keep your knickers on! For all of our sakes!" Remus yelled back downstairs. He finally came back down with broom in hand.
"Finally, you ready to get your butt beat?" Lily taunted.
"Yeah, when pigs fly up my--"
"Don't finish that sentence," Lily interrupted as she pulled out her wand and pointed it at him,"Because you know I can make it happen."
Remus grinned."Okay, lets go."
They sprinted down several staircases and towards the field. It was a beautiful day and there were some students out on the grounds. Lily arrived on the field first. She mounted her broom and was about to kick off.
"Hold it..." Remus said as he quickly rushed over to her and firmly held her broom to the ground.
"What?"
"Well, I just realized that this is a one-sided bet...I mean what do I get if I win?"
"What did you have in mind." Lily asked. She was absolutely terrified at what he could possibly be thinking.
Lily watched Remus glance around the grounds. His eyes fell on someone under the tree...he grinned evily. Lily followed his gaze across the school grounds...it was Severus Snape! He was a slimely prat and nobody liked him really and Lily really didn't like him for obvious reasons.
"Oh no," Lily said shaking her head violently. "No, no, no!"
"You have to convince Snape to go to the ball with you if you lose..."
"Is that suppose to make James jealous or something? Is that what you're trying to do?" Lily asked
"No, not really...it's just for my entertainment..." Remus looked extrememly amused at Lily's horrified expression.
Lily thought about it...she couldn't back out of the wager now...it was her idea! There was no way in hell that she was going to ask Snape out... she couldn't lose.
"Lets go!" Lily said as she kicked off the ground and rose steadily in the air. She could tell by the look on Remus' face that he hadn't expected for her to say yes. Remus kicked off and followed her.
"Five laps around the field on the count of three." Remus yelled over the raging wind. "One.....Two....Three!"
They both streaked around the Quidditch field like bullets...if you were on the ground all you would up in air, would be black blurs. Lily was right on Remus' tail.
He's fast, Lily thought, but not fast enough....
She put on a huge burst of speed and passed Remus flashing him a dazzling smile, her red air whipping out behind her. They were coming up on their third lap when her heart stopped...Remus had come out of nowhere and passed her by several feet! She urged her broom forward.
I can't lose...no way I'm going to ask out Snape! Lily thought desperately.
She leaned all of her body weight against the handle. Go! Go! She pleaded. Suddenly, as if her broomstick read her thoughts, her broom gave a hard jolt like it was trying to buck her off. Then it sped forward with such speed that Lily had to hold on to dear life. She had passed Remus' shocked face as she crossed the finish line...
Lily landed on the ground with arms raised in triumph. Remus followed with a glum expression on his face.
Lily didn't want to rub it in so she simply said,"Don't worry, I won't hack it all off."
Remus smiled at her.
"No, I just wanted to see James' face when you arrived in the Great Hall with Snape..." He said teasingly.
"Yeah, like that was ever going to happen." Lily said sarcastically
"You got lucky this time Evans."
"Luck has nothing to do with it, what I have is better skill." Lily said cockily. Remus broke into loud laughter.
"What's so funny?"
When Remus finally stopped laughing he said,"You have no idea how much you sounded like James just then."
"Whatever Lupin...I'll see you tonight for our next lesson. Same time. I'm going to visit Torrance in the hostipital wing." Lily turned around and headed towards the castle.
Remus went in search for his fellow Marauders.
***JAMES' POV***
When James walked out of Charms, he was going to see where Lily and Remus went off to but he spotted Remus standing at the end of the corridor waiting for them.
"Hey guys! How was the rest of Charms class?" Remus asked innocently
James noticed that Remus' hair was very bushy and messed up like he had been in a tornado or something.
"Forget about that! Is Lily okay?" Peter asked
"Oh...uh...she's fine.." Remus stammered
"Wormtail, how could you be so thick? Moony, don't lie. I saw you two run out of there with no problems...that was a bloody brilliant plan." Sirius said
"It was Lily's plan..." Remus replied
"What? Little Miss Headgirl came up with that plan...NO WAY!" Sirius said impressed
"Where'd you go?" James asked Remus
"We fancied a broomstick ride..."
"In the middle of Charms? Wait...I didn't know Lily could ride..." James couldn't stand it! Since Moony became all buddy towards Lily, he knew more about her than he did. He was stealing her!
"Yeah, I didn't know that either, she's wicked fast!" Remus said
"She beat you, didn't she?" Sirius smirked
Remus blushed."Just by a little." he whispered
They all laughed at the thought of Remus getting beat by a girl as they climbed into the common room. Then suddenly Remus turned towards James with a serious look on his face.
"Why did you ask that Ravenclaw girl to the ball...you hardly know her. What about Lils?" Remus asked
"Lils?" Sirius asked
"Nickname." Remus replied but he didnt turn his gaze from James
"Well, I figured I should ask someone else that actually likes me...I just gave up on her..." James lied, but Remus saw right through his lie.
"You're trying to make her jealous, aren't you? I'm right aren't I?"
Before James could respond Lily came into the room and walked over to them. Well, actually she walked over to Remus.
"Remus, I just wanted to let you know Torrance is feeling much better." Lily said
James urged her to look at him, to even notice him but apparently she didn't. She was oblivious to the fact he was even there.
"I liked that show you put on in Charms today...quite impressive...I didn't know you had it in you." Sirius said
Lily went pink in the cheeks with flattery."Well, there's a lot of things I have in me that you don't know about, but I'm glad I could amuse you."
"So Evans...have you found the lucky guy to take you to the ball yet?" Please say no, James thought.
"That is none of your business but if you have to know...yes...I do plan on having a date."
The Marauders eyes grew wide with curiousity.
"Who?" James asked.
He knew he had no right to feel jealous because he had asked out an airhead...but he couldn't help it. Some other guy was going to dance with her instead of him, some other guy was going to escort the most beautiful girl to the ball, some other guy was going to kiss her goodnight...
"Like I said, it's none of your business..." She said as she turned around and went to her dormitory. "Goodnight Remus." Lily said while she climbed the staircase towards her dorm.
