A/N: whoa! *Keels over at the sight of so many reviews* I love u guys so much! Thanx for the brilliant reviews!! Ok, some issues arose in some of the reviews, and as I was reading them, I scribbled them down on the back of my hand so that I could explain them here- so u better read this!! First of all, I haven't seen a shirt with 'boy bands must die' on it, but I have seen badges, a lot of them! So, GriffindorGoddess28, if u live in aussie, go to Impact records, or Xtreme gifts, and you'll find them! As for Lily's clothes, although most of you liked it (Grins!), someone (I can't remember who) brought up the fact that those clothes are only in fashion now. Yeah well, its' a fanfic, let me live! Nah, it's a good point, but not one that I considered. So.....yeah, and anyway, it was cool! Well....I thought so! And as for why she was wearing Muggle clothes in Hogsmeade, I think JK Rowling might be confused, cos she keeps saying that Wizards don't know about muggle clothes, but then Ron never wears robe sat home, which would mean that at least some wizards do know, and- wait, now I'm rambling.
Back to why Lily was wearing muggle clothes- well, she's muggle born, and it was the weekend, and, hey! It's a fanfic. They're not meant to be believable!
Oh yeah, the first years at Hogsmeade? Well, I have no excuse for that, it was pure sloppiness. Thanx to whoever pointed that out. I forgot ur name, but sorry about it, I completely forgot. James is a tactless fool yes, and Lily jumps to conclusions all the time. That's why we love them!
Anyway, here's the next chapter, and make sure you read the authors note at the bottom!
Chapter Nine
Sweets for the Sweet
"So how was the date?" Sarah said, looking up as Lily stormed into the dorm.
"Don't want to talk about it," Lily said shortly, dragging her armbands off. She shoved them into her trunk and proceeded to pull her jeans off and search for a pair of tracksuit pants.
"That bad huh?" Andrea said.
Just then, the curtain was pulled open, and James ran in.
"Lily, I am so sorry, I can explain, I swe-" he rambled, before realizing that Lily had no pants on, and was giving him the most murderous glare he had ever encountered.
"S-sorry?" he offered.
"Get out!" Lily shrieked, so suddenly that everyone leapt about a foot into the air.
James turned and pretty much fled from the dorm. They could hear the door shut behind him.
"Whoa," Sarah said. "Must have been very bad."
"I never want to see that boy again," Lily muttered. "Never." She stormed over to the door and pointed her wand at it, muttering a locking spell.
**
James slumped against the wall outside the dormitory, breathing heavily. That had been one of the scariest experiences he had ever had. The expression on Lily's face had been...terrifying.
He tried the door. It was locked.
He slid to the floor, in defeat. Resting his head against the wall, he closed his eyes and tried to think of some way to make it up with Lily. It was pretty clear that she wasn't willing to listen to what he had to say. He needed some other means of communication. Then he remembered. Shoving his hand into his pocket, he pulled out a slightly crumpled Honeydukes packet. Inside were rose shaped Lollipops. They were the same size of an average rose, and the stick at the bottom was actually green, and looked just like a rose stem. The lollipop was a flavour-changer. It changed to suit your taste at any particular time. James had bought it thinking that he could give it to Lily when she forgave him. Now, he would give it to her to hopefully drive her to forgive him.
Anything was worth a try, and he had nothing left to lose.
Getting up, he almost ran to the Common room and up to a group of second- year boys doing homework.
"Can I have some parchment and a quill please?" he asked urgently. The second years were dumbstruck at having James Potter talk to them. He grabbed a scrap of parchment and long, eagle feather quill off the table and grinned his thanks.
Sitting just a table away, he quickly scrawled a note to Lily and hastily chucked the quill back onto the second-year table. He seized a candle out of a bracket in the wall and held it over the letter, letting the wax drip onto the parchment, sealing it closed. He quickly used his wand to stick the note to the Honeydukes bag, and then, on impulse, charmed the plain, paper bag into pretty, rose covered, red wrapping paper.
He raced back up the stairs and deposited the parcel onto the ground just outside the door. Then he knocked loudly on the door and ran away back to the common room.
Please let it work, he prayed silently. I don't think I could stand her ignoring me again!
**
Lily looked up from her journal at the sound of knocking.
"You going to get that?" she asked Andrea.
She shrugged.
"Are you?" she countered.
"No," Lily said. "It might be James and there is no way I am talking to him."
"I'll get it," Sarah said, heaving herself to her feet.
She strode over to the door, and, muttering a counter spell to Lily's charm, she yanked the door open. At first, she thought it was a prank, and then she noticed the package on the ground. Bending, she picked it up and wandered back to her side of the dorm, reading the front.
"What is it?" Lily asked curiously. She stopped writing in her journal and stared at the parcel.
"It's for you," Sarah said, handing her the package. Lily raised an eyebrow.
"Did Potter give it to you?" she asked suspiciously, turning it over in her hands.
"Nope," Sarah shook her head. "It was just outside the door."
"Hmmm," Lily said, pursing her lips. She looked down at the note. It read-
'Lily~ Sweets for the Sweet'
She pulled it off the parcel, and lifted the wax seal. Cocking her head, she read-
'Dear Lily,
I didn't mean to stand you up; Andrew Clark dragged me to his table and made me listen to his Quidditch talk. By the time I could make my escape, you had left. Please forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you or hurt you in any way. I think you're beautiful, and I would do anything for a second chance. You said you wanted to go to Honeydukes, so I got these for you. I hope you like them as much as I like you. Yours, James.'
Lily couldn't help smiling.
"What are they?" Andrea asked, curiously.
Lily handed her the package without even opening it. She stared at the letter, re-reading it.
"Whoa!" Andrea exclaimed. "I love these things! They're sooooo delicious!"
Lily could hardly hear her. She was experiencing the weirdest feeling. She wasn't sure what it was. She read the letter once more and felt a wave of warmth rush over her.
He thought she was beautiful.

A/N: well, quite the romantic isn't James! Sorry this one is a little short, but the last chapter was fairly long, considering what they're usually like, and I felt like ending this one on a high note. I know I'm slack, but hey! You love me! So, think Lily's getting *feelings* for James?? He's being a lot nicer now, and you'll see in the next chapter, that he's finding it harder than he lets on. But that's another chapter of course, and for another chapter, I need reviews! Lots of them! Actually, ten is good, and I know I can count on you all! Suggestions or ideas much appreciated, and let me now what ur favorite bit so far is. Also, do you guys read a/n's? if you do, let me know in your review!
Once again, soooooooo sorry about the shortness, I'll make up for it in the next chapter, promise!
Lots of hugs and kisses,
