Disclaimer: I have no intention to profit from this story. James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew belong to JK Rowling. I own Samuel and Holly Potter, Danielle Burke, and Madeleine Alcott.
Author's Notes: James Potter is heir to a huge fortune, the only catch is he has to find a suitable wife by December 25. The only problem is James doesn't have good luck with the ladies, so his friends decide to hold a contest for him, and he is to choose his wife.
P.S.: Kinda of weird chapter. I started this one about five times. It's very hard to for some reason. Hope ya like.

Elevator music is very annoying. Considering the fact that you've been stuck in an elevator with James Potter for two hours.
"She is rather pretty isn't she?" James asked Sirius for the millionth time.
"James, as I've told you before. Yes. She is." Sirius said in utter exasperation, throwing his hands up in the air.
"Ok, ok. I just wanted to confirm it." James said, while digging through his pockets for something. He pulled out a small silver compact.
"What's that?" Sirius asked, curious.
"A mirror." James replied calmly.
"You had a mirror and you didn't tell me. Here I am, trying to see my reflection in this stupid button." he yelled and punched the button. The lights flashed and started up the elevator.
"Nice going, Padfoot."
"So not funny." he said, nursing his bruised fingers.
The elevator stopped at the first floor and they got out as a brunette and a redhead entered it.
Lily pushed the button for the 7th floor and she and Danielle stood in silence. The elevator stopped at the seventh floor and chimed to let them know of their arrival. Lily dug in her purse for her keys while Danielle checked the mail box.
Lily unlocked the door, and they walked in. "Bill. Bill. Survey. Free Car. Ooh! A letter from Maddie!" she said, jumping for joy.
"Danielle, you might want to be..." Lily started as Danielle stepped on a bill that she had dropped and went flying, landing on the floor. "...Careful. Are you all right?"
"Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine. Except for this horrible pain in my ass." she said, rubbing her behind.
"Well, maybe that will teach you not to dance around in four inch heels." Lily pointed out while suppressing her giggles.
"Anyway." Danielle continued, wincing slightly as she sat down in a chair. "On to the letter. It says that we have to go to another interview. This one has a test in it. And to bring a No. 2 Pencil."
"That's all?"
"Oh yeah. And we're supposed to be there at 11:30 on Wednesday July 29th."
"That's tomorrow. So much notice they give us, huh?" Lily asked, writing it on her pocket calender.
"Frankly, I don't mind. I just hope I pass the test." Danielle answered, munching on some chips.
"You're gonna get fat from those kind of chips you know." Lily said pointedly, while she herself grabbed the bag from Danielle and started to eat some.
"Not-uh. I got high metabolism." she retorted, her mouth full of chewed up potato chips.
"Don't talk with your mouth full."
"Whatever." Danielle snapped, throwing a chip at Lily.
"That's it, you're gonna pay."
"Not the hair. Not the hair!" Danielle shrieked as Lily pelted her with chips.

"Lily!" Danielle drawled as she came out of the shower clad in a fluffy pink robe.
"What?" Lily's annoyed voice came.
"Help me pick out something to wear."
Lily sighed and walked into Danielle's room. She dug through the closet until she found a lavender sun dress. "Wear this and those new sandals of yours."
"Thanks so much!" she said happily, giving Lily a quick hug and shoving her out the door.
'Now, what am I going to wear?' Lily said aloud.
She went into her room and took out a pretty cream dress. It was short, but distinctly feminine.
Twenty minutes later, both women were standing outside of the building they first went to when they met Miss Alcott and the Cranberry lady.
** ** ** **
"Miss Burke and Miss Evans, please follow me." The now apple lady said, for she was wearing an apple green suit. She led them to a large room that looked like it was used for board meetings.
"Please fill out these forms then hand them to me when you are done." she told them curtly then left the room closing the door behind her.
Lily and Dani exchanged glances and started to fill out the forms.
"This is more of a test, don't you think." Danielle asked when she was on question 27.
"Yeah. My hands starting to hurt." Lily said, shaking her hand.
Many questions later, both girls were done.
"Now that, was boring." Lily complained, while they drove to the nearest restaurant.
** ** ** **
"Thank You." Lily said to the man who held the door for Lily. When they had passed, James remarked to Sirius: "She looked familiar, didn't she?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah." he agreed.
"You were too busy checking out her friend to even notice what the other looked like."
"So. She was hot." Sirius said innocently.

A/N: Kinda short. Enjoy. Lemme know how it is. Anyone wanna be my beta reader?
