Title: Lily meets James Author: CraziiBlondii

Chapter One Lily's Dare

"NO" Lily Evans screamed at her best friend Sammy. They were at Sammy's house for the winter holidays and were engaged in a very funny game of Truth or Dare.

"Why not he isn't so bad" Sammy answered.

"There is no way I could convince him to take me to the ball" lily was tired of her best friend trying to set her up with so many different guys.

"James potter has liked you forever i'm positive he would take you" Sammy said.

"Ok let me rephrase myself there is no way I would ever go to the dance with him"

"you haven't even given him a chance he is actually very nice, and he is the star seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team he cant be that bad and besides he's HOTT" Sammy started to laugh. The last comment brought a smile on to lily's face.

"Ok ok I will admit he is kind of good looking" lily replied trying not to blush but she could feel the heat rising on to her face.

"There is no kind of about it" Sammy managed to say while laughing at lily's embarrassment.

"Ok he is hott, happy now?"

"Not really you have got to ask him to the ball"

"No way he is so full of himself he would probably say he is too good for me" lily said anger starting to rise.

"Now you no that is not true, he has liked you since 1st year that is 6 years if you didn't no" Sammy replied "just give him a chance he is really nice, as I have said before"

"Fine" lily said "I will do it"

"Yippy I win" Sammy started to laugh.

"Wait a sec one problem"

"What is the problem lily?" Sammy asked.

"Isn't the ball tomorrow?"

"Yeah so what?"

"How am I supposed to ask him before tomorrow?" lily had finally found a way out of this agreement.

"Oh that won't be a problem" Sammy said "You can use my owl to send him a letter"

"Aw how kind of you" lily said sarcastically. "Ok go get your owl while I write him a letter"

Sammy hurried out of the room to get her owl

'Great' lily thought 'I have to ask out the person that I hate the most this should be fun'

Lily found a quill, ink, and parchment in Sammy's desk she decides to make the note short so it wouldn't sound so bad.

Dear James,
I no this is short notice but I would like to ask you to be my date for the new years ball. Please owl me back as soon as possible.
Yours Truly,
Lily Evans Lily read and reread this letter it sounded perfect and if he asked her why she had asked him to the ball she would say she didn't want to go alone.

'It won't be so bad' lily tried to reassure herself but failed terribly.

"Ok here is the owl do you have the letter ready for Mr. Potter?" Sammy said as she walked in to the room.

"Yes now we can only hope he already has a date" lily said.

"Actuary I no for a fact he is flying solo" Sammy said as she tied the letter to the owl and opened the window to let the bird out.

"Whatever" said lily "so I guess it is my turn to dare you"

"Um I'm tiered of this game lets do something else" Sammy said trying to get out of her turn.

"Oh no I get to pick who you ask out" lily replied.

"Ok who's the lucky guy?" Sammy asked.

"I think Mr. Black is going to attend" lily said

"SIRIUS?" Sammy yelled. "NO WAY"

"Hey you made me ask James now it is your turn to ask someone" lily laughed.

"Fine you win" Sammy started to write Sirius a letter.

After she had sent the letter lily couldn't help but think 'this is going to be one interesting ball'
