Chapter 4: Will you go out with me? Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter characters.

goldensnitch3: Thanks.

"Hey Evans?" James said walking up to Lily. Lily was sitting in an armchair trying to do her homework.
"What Potter?" Lily said writing on a piece of parchment.
"Will you go out with me?" James asked, running a hand through his hair. Lily looked at him with a look that plainly said 'eww'. James' smile wavered.
"Uh. let me think about that" James looked hopeful. Slight pause. "No." James' smile disappeared.
"Aww! Come on Evans! You know you want to!" James wined.
"Stuff it" Lily snapped picking up her stuff and walking to the girl's dorm.
"What's up with her?" James said sitting down next to Sirius. Samantha had over heard this.
"She thinks you're a big headed jerk!" She pointed out.
"Why?" James said surprised. Samantha coughed trying to hide a snigger. James glared at her.
"I have no clue why!" Samantha said sarcastically. James opened his mouth to say something but that was when Sirius cut in.
"Stop it you two!" He said. Remus was trying hard not to laugh but it was not working. Samantha poked her tongue out at James and left.
"Who was she?" Remus asked. Sirius sighed.
"My sister"
"Really?" Remus was still laughing. Sirius glared at him and Remus fell silent.

The next day Lily and Samantha were walking down to breakfast when James, Sirius and Remus caught up with them.
"Hello Lils!" James said.
"Goodbye James!" Lily said continuing to walk.
"Hello Sam!" Sirius said putting his arm around his sisters' shoulder. Samantha just ignored him. "Come on Sam! Don't you have a hello for your brother?" Sirius wined.
"Um. how about- No? Come on Lily I want to introduce you to my cousins." Samantha said dragging Lily over to a group of Slytherin girls.
"Your cousins go here?" Lily asked surprised.
"Yep!"
"Samantha!" A tall girl in her third year walked over to Samantha and gave her a hug.
"Hello Bellatrix!" Samantha said. "Bellatrix, this is my friend Lily Evans. Lily this is Bellatrix." Bellatrix gave a small sniff but then said "It's nice to meet you Lily, come meet the rest of the gang." She walked over to two other girls with Samantha and Lily right behind her.
"Samantha!" Two girls came over and Samantha was soon hidden from view.
"Narcissa this is Lily." Narcissa smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes.
"You're a first year too right?" She asked. Lily nodded.
"Lily this is Andromeda, she's in Ravenclaw."
"It's nice to meet you Lily." Andromeda said.
"Well we better hurry to breakfast, we don't want to be late!" Bellatrix said "It was nice talking to you two!" And with that the three girls left.
"You're cousins are- um, nice" Lily said know that they did not like her that much. Samantha smiled. "I'm glad you like them!" Samantha said and the two girls walked to breakfast.

"So Lily?" James said leaning across the table to talk to her. "Did you think about my offer?" Lily stared at James.
"No, and the answer is still no!" Lily looked as if she was going to be sick. Samantha snorted into her porridge.
"Please?" James asked giving Lily the puppy face.
"NO!" Lily turned her back on him. She wanted to talk to Samantha but she was busy fighting with her brother. So Lily finished up her breakfast then went to get her stuff for class.
"Hi Sam!" Lily called seeing her friend enter through the portrait hole, but taking one look at Sam, Lily decided to leave her alone. Staring after her friend Lily could have sworn she saw lightning. Lily shook her head and went to class.
