Hogwarts Most Eligible Bachelor ~ Chapter Four

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.

Thanks to everyone who has reviewed this, I know it's been forever, but I finally got back in the swing of things of Fanfiction.net and plan to finish my stories. I might even rewrite Love Potion No. 9 and Nocturnal Butterfly. What do you think?

He sat down on a barstool next to Lily, and Sirius sat on the opposite side of Danielle. The girls were surrounded by them.

"Hi." Danielle said seductively, taking a sip of her drink.

Lily rolled her eyes at her friend. She played with the edge of the napkin that her drink was sitting on, when she realized Danielle wasn't the only person sitting next to her. She looked at who it was out the corner of her eye, but couldn't place him.

"Do I know you?" she asked.

James shook his head, "No, but I know you."

"Are you trying to hit on me or stalk me?" she asked, referring to his previous comment. Just then, Danielle got out of her seat to go and dance with Sirius when she accidentally bumped into Lily who was about to take a sip of her drink and ended up spilling it all over James.

"Oh, my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Lily exclaimed. She threw a frosty look in Danielle's direction and moved to get a napkin, elbowing James in the face. His glasses fell onto the floor and were crushed by a woman's four foot heels.

"Oh. I am very sorry." She said in a thick Russian accent.

James nodded, and held a hand over his eyes and tried to clean up his shirt with the free hand. Danielle and Sirius were trying not to laugh, and moved onto the dance floor before they got in trouble from their friends.

James managed to pick up the few large pieces of his glasses, and Lily got a handful of napkins from the amused bartender. "I am so sorry." She said.

"Don't worry about, its okay," he pulled out a pair of glasses from his pants pocket, "That's why I always carry a spare pair."

Lily smiled at his rhyme. She handed him some napkins for him to clean up the tiny bit of shattered glass on the floor. When he sat back in the barstool, Lily smiled sympathetically at him. She was just about to ask him what his name was, when Danielle came back to the bar.

"Let's go home. Now." She said.

"Why?" Lily asked, slightly shocked that Danielle would want to go home early.

"I'll tell you in the car." Danielle said.

Lily nodded. "I better go now," She said, "Um... see you later?"

"Yeah." James said.

Danielle stalked out to the car and unlocked it, starting it up while she waited for Lily. She put on the radio and blared her favorite song. It always helped calm her down. Lily opened the other door and sat down in the passengers' seat.

"Okay, what's up?" Lily asked, turning off the music.

"That so called man who I was dancing with tried to have sex with me on the dance floor."

"I thought you were into that kind of stuff." Lily commented.

Danielle glared at her. "No."

"What made her so pissy?" James asked when Sirius came over and sat down next to him.

"Well she was putting all these moves on me, so I decided to put some on her." Sirius said.

James rolled his eyes. "You are such a player."

"How does that make me a player?"

"Remember Natalie?" James asked.

"Oh, I broke up with her a week ago.

"Then what about Michelle?"

"She was a one night stand."

"Kyra?"

"Old flame wanted to get back with me?"

"Svala?"

"She was into women. Sort of turned me on, but then when she wanted me to put on a skirt, I said no."

AN: Sorry so short. Filler chapter, expect the contest to actually start within the next 2 chapters.
