The next day was rehearsal for the Cinderella cast. And James was late. He came to the great hall like it was nothing and that he was all cool.
"Hey.."He said to cast members as he walked toward Dumbledore. "how ya doin'?"
Then he saw lily, "Oh!" He shouted out, taking her hand. "How are you my Cinderflower?" He asked.
Lily slipped her hand away from his. "well, my day was just bloody perfect before you appeared with your snotty looking smirk!" She said.
James put his hand to his chest. "Hurt words, yes. But none taken." He said.
Lily shook her head. "when will you grow up?" She asked.
"I think the only person stopping me, is you." James said smiling.
Lily tighted her lips the way she always did. "jerk." She said under her breath.
"Gather Round, Gather Round." Dumbledore said.
Everyone sat around the big circle table with Dumbledore at the head.
"As many of you know." Dumbledore continued. "I am the king for the play."
James smiled and waved a hand. "Hello, my dumblee-dore daddy!" he said.
Dumbledore nodded. "Yes," He said. "This is James Potter, in which many of you know. He will be playing Prince Charming."
James smiled wide again. "Yes, the name fits my description, doesn't it?" He asked.
All the girls nodded except for lily.
"And, here." Dumbledore said pointing to Proffesor Mcgonnagal. "She has displayed fine acting so I have chosen for her to play, the evil Step mother."
McGonnagal smiled and Nodded. Then Dumbledore turned to two twin girls.
"Hi." They said in a chorus.
"These ladies will be playing Anastasia and Dresella. Their names, Erin and Eris Baker." Dumbledore said.
Both girls smiled at the same time, then they looked at Dumbledore to see who he would announce next.
"here we have the actors for playing the mice mice." Dumbledore said. He pointed to Reamus, Peter and Sirius.
"I thought I was a townsman." Sirius said.
"well, you see, no one would play gus gus, so you go the part." Dumbledore said.
"ohh!" Sirius said chuckling like the mouse. "yippee!! Isn't he the one who likes to eat?"
"Reamus is playing Jaq, and Peter will play the extra rat -I mean mouse, I said mouse." Dumbledore stumbled.
Reamus smiled at his friend and patted Peter on the head. "Cat got your tongue?" He asked. Peter just sighed.
"I'm always the extra!" He whined.
Reamus looked at him. "Well, you could play the girl mouse jaq falls in love with.." He said hoping to make him feel better, but all peter did was hide his little body under the table as best as he could.
"And, here." Dumbledore said pointing to Madam Pomfry "Madam Pompfry will be playing the Godmother. and Lily Evans will be playing the beautiful, Cinderella."
Lily blushed at that announcement.
"Ohhh! Gosh!" She said.
James leaned over to her. "You know, you could play bashful too on the Snow white play coming up!" He said.
Lily's smile turned into a mad face and she popped him over the head with her hand.
"and you James Potter, will get the part for the ugly witch!" she said back.
"Thanks." He whispered. "was that a compliment?"
"Only if you want it to be." Lily said back.
"ok." Dumbledore said having his hands out. "I want Lily Evans and James potter to practice their part, because remember! What's a good beginning, if you don't have a good ending!"
Lily's mouth dropped open. James leaned over to her again.
"Oh yay!" he said. "did you want to start from where they fall in love, or when they have there wedding and k-i-s-s?"
"oh James, I'm so glad you can spell! Do you know how to spell out your name, or is it not in the percentage of your stupidity?" She asked sweetly and saracastically.
"ha-ha-ha!" James said sarcastically, "actually I was spelling out what you're going to do by mid-night on the night of the play."
Lily took a deep breath. And she got up out of her seat.
"thank you proffesor dumbledore," she said. "it was an honor to start the play with all of you. But I'm afraid, I'm not finishing it!"
And she left the great hall with a dumbstuck James starring after her.
If he wanted Lily he'd have to try harder. But for now he was going to try and get her back for playing cinderella. To him it would be a waste to do the play without her. No one was good enough looking to make the play worth seeing. Well he had to admitt he was quite good looking himself. And then there was Sirius. Everyone loved him. But when you had him and Sirius together well you would have one happy party. Maybe there was no need to have Lily in the play. NO! no matter how good looking he or Sirius were they still needed Lily to be in it.
"Hey.."He said to cast members as he walked toward Dumbledore. "how ya doin'?"
Then he saw lily, "Oh!" He shouted out, taking her hand. "How are you my Cinderflower?" He asked.
