James awoke, anticipation filled him. He was finally going on a date with Lily, tonight! He jumped out of bed, dressed, combed his hair, and of course messed it back up. He strode into the common room where he waited for Padfoot and moony. From there they went to the Great Hall. James hung back for a moment waiting for Lily, who he saw with a group of her friends, Silena included, a few yards away. Lily saw him and rushed over "Hi, James," she said smiling sweetly.
"Hey, Lily," he said greeting her. To his surprise she stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. After breakfast the couple didn't separate: they sat on the grounds, under the old beech tree, talking. Finally he left her to talk to Remus and Sirius. "So, what's up?" James inquired. "You know there's a big rumor 'bout you and Evans?" Sirius said more as a comment than a question. James looked back at Lily who had become thoroughly absorbed in examining her wand.
"So, what if we're going out?" James asked.
"Well," Remus said with a smirk, "You asked what was up, and we just happened to be discussing the two of you. James absentmindedly glanced back at Lily. He saw Sirius go rigid. "Snivellus," Sirius whispered. James sprinted towards Lily muttering a stream of curses and hexes at Snape. Beside Lily, where Snape had lay was a pig with an extremely large, greasy nose.
Lily lay still, tears running down her face. A gash made its way from her shoulder to her elbow, and her chest ached as though one of her ribs had been broken. James muttered a healing spell, to no effect; apparently the curse Snape used held the wound open. Lily let out a small sob; her arm and ribs felt like the Cruciatus curse was pulsing through her. James conjured a stretcher, something he had learned to do after many injuries during Quiditch practice. He hurried behind the stretcher that obediently glided to the hospital wing..
"My goodness," the nurse said "The boy used curses for which I know no counter, I can heal her but it will take a while." The nurse took a bottle of steaming liquid and poured a few drops onto Lily's arm. Apparently it burned because Lily gasped and struggled to hold back a sob. The nurse bound Lily's arm in what looked like a muggle bandage. "You boys should leave," the nurse said though it was basically an informal command saying 'Get the hell out of here' "For next is Lily's ribs" she continued. The boys exited. In a few moments later James was back to escort Lily from the hospital wing.

"So," James said holding Lily's hand "Should we call of the date until next week?"
"Nah, I'll be fine" she said, and smiled in such a way to mesmerize him, and mesmerize him she did. Lily averted her eyes "Thanks," she said "For saving me from that greasy, sniveling git" her voice was barely audible.
"Why'd he attack you?" James asked.
"The lump of useless flesh likes me, and when he found out I was dating his 'archenemy' he blew up at me. I could have shielded the hexes but I was off day dreaming. She replied.

"What were you day dreaming about?" James asked quietly.

"You," she whispered, welcoming his kiss. Soon they noticed that the train had arrived, they boarded and made their way to Hogsmeade.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: It was brought to my attention that my punctuation is sometimes incorrect. I humbly apologize forI am but in seventh grade, I take so called 'advanced' classes, if you could call them that, but it's not my fault my stupid teacher never taught me when, where, and why to use some marking. Oops.. it always happens, I like to quote people so today's quote:
A fool blames others, while a wise man blames himself.

P.S I dunno whats with the spacing on the last lines of the story

I Thank all My readers,
