A/N: I have one thing to say- D'oh! I am such a moron, it's the second time I've posted the wrong document, sorry everyone! Check out chapter 7 again, I fixed it up.

Noted passed by Lily, Morgana & Skye in Divination. (Lily-Normal, Skye-Bold, Morgana –italics)

What's wrong, Lily?

Nothing.

It most certainly isn't nothing and you know it.

Yes it is.

She's still moping about James being the one who punched Frank.

Hee hee…He still has a black eye.

I am not moping! I'm just really surprised; I didn't think he was capable of doing something like that.

Why not? He's brave and he adores you.

Trust me, I know him- he's got a heart of gold

So does a hard-boiled egg.

Just give him a chance.

I am!

Why don't you go talk to him? Professor Crystal just left.

No.

Why not…are you scared?

No!

Awww…Little Lilykins is scared.

I'm not scared, okay?

Then go talk to him.

What would I talk to him about, anyway?

You could thank him for punching Frank.

You could talk about Quidditch.

Unless you're scared, of course.

Fine then, I'll do it.

Bet you five Galleons she fancies him.

You're on!

I wish I could hear what she's saying...So, what's this I hear about you and Sirius Black? Nice one, Ballycastle!

Thanks. Oh, I'm so excited, Skye! We're going to Hogsmeade together!

From Lily's diary.

9:30

I cannot believe what I just did. For the first time in seven years, I actually managed to have a reasonably civilised conversation with James Potter. Yes, that's right, the arrogant, bullying toerag who has a fetish for hexing people like Severus Snape. I don't like Snape much myself, but I don't go around hexing people I don't like. Anyway, Morgana and Skye wanted me to go and talk to him. I wasn't going to, but they accused me of being scared! Honestly, that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So I decided to walk over and start a conversation, just to prove them wrong. So here's what happened next.

Me: Hello, Potter.

Him: Erm…hi.

Me: I just wanted to say thank you. You know, for saving me.

Him: (blushing) Oh, it was nothing.

Sirius: Ooh, little Jamesie's blushing!

This was when all the other Marauders started nudging him and exchanging significant looks. I looked over at Morgana, who started mouthing "Ask him out!" I shook my head, but then she and Skye started making clucking noises.

Me: Hey Remus, isn't there a Hogsmeade excursion soon?

Remus: Yeah, there is. Next weekend.

Me: Potter, are you going?

Him: Yes, but I swear I'm not planning to scare the third -years, really I'm not!

(Sirius groans)

Me: Well, all right ,then. Meet you at the Great Hall at nine, then? We could go to The Three Broomsticks first, then maybe wander around the shops a bit. Sound good to you ,Potter?

Him: Oh…yes. Of course. See you there

Me: Ok, then. Bye!

And then I practically ran back to my seat, and I swear I will make Morgana pay for this.

Notes passed by the Marauders, shortly after their encounter with Lily.

What in the name of Merlin was all that about, Prongs?

I wish I knew, Padfoot.

What are you going to do?

Well, I think I might Transfigure myself into a pineapple and do the tango with a banana…I'm going out with Evans, what did you think?

I expected it to happen sooner or later…nobody can resist the Potter charm.

That is by far the smartest thing Wormtail has ever said.

So what are you going to wear? Oh no, you'll have to go shopping! And your hair's a mess!

Padfoot, I'm warning you…

Ow! Some people just can't take a joke.

Siriusly, Prongs, what are you going to do? She might expect you to bring her flowers or take her someplace romantic.

Enough with the Sirius jokes already!

Moony, you forget who you're talking to. I am James Potter. I've been out with nearly every girl in this year. I think I can handle one more.

Well, this is the first girl you've actually fancied.

Good point. I think I'll just go crawl under a rock, if that's okay with the rest of you.
