Setting: Lily at Kings Cross with her friends

Year: 7th

Summery: How Lily and James started dating. Please R&R! This is my first fanfic so please review!!!

"So Lily,are you thinking about going out with Potter this year?" Lily's friend Rachel asked as they walked through the barrier to Platform 9 3/4.

"I'm not sure yet. He has changed a lot over the summer. He wrote me letters three times a week telling me what he was up to and stuff." Lily said with a smile, remembering one letter that James had written to her that was really sweet and she actually kept it instead of throwing it away like she did with the others.

Just then Lily's other two friends that had been walking behind her and Rachel came through the barrier and hadn't caught a word Lily said.

"So Lily,James wrote me over the summer telling me he wrote you and you actually replied to three of them." Sandra announced to the others. Sandra was good friends with James,Sirius,Remus,and Peter.

Lily's other friend Stephanie was now wide-eyed.Stephanie was Sirius Black's girlfriend and had been waiting for Lily and James to go out each other so they could double date.

"You did! Are you going to go out with him this year? What did his letters say?" Stephanie asked excitedly.

"Lets get into a compartmenton the train and then I'll tell you more."Lily said as she guided them to a door on the train.

They put their luggage on a rack above their seats in a compartment near the end of the train where they always sat.

Lily closed the door and pulled a letter out of her pocket and sat down in one of the chairs.

She cleared her throat and read aloud,

" Dear Lily,
Thank-you for finally replying to one of my letters. Well,only two more weeks until I get to see you again. I was just wondering,would you at least consider going out with me?Please? I really, really like you and I can only hope you feel the same about me.

Anyway,what have you been up to? I've been doing the usual,you know,causing chaos with Sirius and thinking about you. I hope you read this letter and maybe even reply to it.

Lots of love from,
James Potter

P.S. I'll be counting down the days until I get to see you again. "

When Lily finished reading it to them they were all sitting there open mouthed,stupified.

"You have to go out with him after he wrote you a letter like that!" Rachel said as she grabbed the letter to read it herself.

"I told you he really liked you,Lily!" Sandra said.

Lily made a face at her.

Just then there came a knock on the compartment door. It slid open and standing there was Sirius,Remus,Peter, and to Lily's worst nightmare, James.

Lily's face went red and she quickly snatched the letter from Rachel and shoved it in her pocket.

"Whats that?" Sirius asked when he saw Lily take the letter from Rachel.

"A letter that James wrote her." Stephanie said before Lily had the time to tell them not to say anything about it.

"You actually kept one of my letters?" James asked astonished. "Which one was it?"

Lily glared at Stephanie before turning to James, "It doesn't really matter does it? Who cares,its just a letter right?" she told him,her face still red.

"C'mon,just tell me.It its a letter of no real importance just show it to me then." James said as he walked over to Lily.

Lily panicked.She could only think of one way to keep James from reading the letter. She jumped up and opened the window she was sitting next to,she took the letter out of her pocket and threw it out of the window! (big mistake!)

Everyone stared at Lily as she walked over and sat back down in her spot.

After a while someone finally spoke, "I know which letter it was." James said slyly. "It was the one I wrote to you two weeks ago,wasn't it?" he sat down beside Lily smirking.

"No. I...I threw that one away without reading it." Lily fibbed.

"I know your lying. Just say it already Evans,you know you like me and know you liked that letter I sent you two weeks ago too." James said as he put his arm around Lily's neck.

She pushed him away and stood up."If you keep acting like that I won't even do so much as look at you this year." she warned him.

James looked at her suspiciously, "So...you mean...you'll think about it?" he asked slowly, not sure what she meant by her last statement.

"Maybe,it depends." she said as she sat back down,now feeling a little more comfortable.

Everyone looked at her in astonishment.

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear you say that." he said then smiled at her.

Lily blushed.

After a few moments of silence Lily said, "So what did all of you come in here before all of this started?" the silence had made her start feeling uneasy along with everyone still staring at her.

"Well, " said Sirius, "I came here to see Stephanie, James came here to see you ,and Remus and Peter came because they had nothing better to do." he said to Lily. He looked at James and gave him a thumbs-up as though to congratulate him for finally getting Lily to go out with him.

Sirius sat down beside Stephanie and put his arm around her. Remus and Peter sat down across from him.

When everyone was settled,silence once again took over.

Lily pulled out a book and began to read,Sirius and Stephanie whispered to each other,Remus and Peter sat quiet,Rachel and Sandra shared a copy of The Daily Prophet ,and James just sat there next to Lily with a small smile on his face looking at his shoes and glancing up at her every now and then.
