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.

James and Sirius walked down the sidewalk in silence.

"There's a party at this really hot night club tonight? Want to go?" Sirius asked, while sitting down on a park bench.

"Sure. I haven't got anything better to do. Where is this club?" James questioned, sitting down next to him.

"Downtown."

"Oh. You ever been there?"

"No."

"Then how did you hear about it?"

"The radio."

"That helps."

Lily and Danielle were sitting at the resturant both eating a bowl of soup with a salad and a glass of white wine, when Danielle brought up the subject of what to do after lunch.

"We can always go home." Lily suggested.


"Oh that's just because you want to become an old maid." Danielle exclaimed.

Lily raised an eyebrow. "Then what did you have in mind."

"Well, I thought we could go shopping for a few hours, then grab a bite to eat, go home, quickly get changed and head off to this awesome club." she explained.

Lily said nothing.

"Well, yes or no."

"I don't really want to..."

"Please Lily. We won't stay out too long. Ten at the earliest. Three at the latest."

"Three at the latest? We'll stay out until ten thirty. But tomorrow, we have to clean up the whole apartment. Our parents and siblings are coming over, remember?" Lily reminded her friend.

"Oh yeah. That's right. Ok." Danielle agreed.

"Plus, we have to make dinner for them also." Lily added, pulling out a check list.

"What are we going to make?"

"Cheese Manicotti, Salad, and Crusty French Bread." Lily replied.

"Let's go. Hurry up, Lils. I want to get to the mall before the rush is over." Lily rolled her eyes, and motioned for the check. They split it, and set off.

"That was the best shopping I have ever done!" Dani said excitedly as she placed her many bags in the seat of a cab.

Lily didn't say anything and climbed in beside Danielle.

"Are you ready, Lils?" Danielle asked. She came out in a red halter and a black mini. She was also wearing deep red make-up and 4 inch heels.

"Yeah." Lily called back. She came out wearing a white tank-top and a jean skirt, with white sandals.

"Let's go." Danielle bubbled and grabbed Lily's hand as they apparated to the club.

"Isn't this the best?" Sirius asked James as they walked into the club. The music was blaring and strobe lights were flashing back and forth. The room was dimly lit with a bar off to one side.

"Yeah!" James yelled back, flashing his friend a thumbs up.

They walked through the crowd to the bar. "Two beers." Sirius said to the waitress wearing a pink mini-dress. She nodded and brought back two bottles.

James sent a glinting smile her way and passed her a hundred pound note. "Keep the change."

Sirius rolled his eyes and took a swig of his drink. James started to then spit it out all over the floor.
"Dude, say it don't spray it."

"No, man. Look it's her." he pointed to Lily who was sitting on a red barstool sipping a margarita and talking to her.

"I'm really starting to wonder if I'm getting deja vu." Sirius said, following James over to them.
