Chapter 12: Not a good idea.

It was a cool Thursday afternoon and students were pouring out of many classes that just ended. Lily and her friends just finished a tough lesson of Arthmacy and were heading to their dorms. They took nice and long showers and then headed to the common room to catch up with other people on some gossip. And that's when James decided to come down and tap Lily on her shoulder.

"Lily we got to go." He said. She looked at him quizzically.

"We have the care for magical animals project remember?" He explained.

"Ohh ok just give me a moment ok?" He nodded. Lily went to her dorms to put her books away and told Ela and Ara that she was going for a little while. They didn't even lift up their heads but nodded. Lily grabbed her cloak and motioned to James that she is ready. They walked out of the common room together. James was happy about the project mainly because it would mean that he would spend more time with Lily. They walked in silence. Lily was a bit shocked by James. He gave up on her so easily; it set her think about it many times. But of course she didn't know that James heard hers and Ela's discussion. They finally reached the stables.

"Hello little one." Lily smiled to the hippogriff that seemed to like her a lot. James was jealous more then few times of Prongs. She always spoke in a sweet voice to him and she was always petting him, giving him hugs and such. He walked to get some food into his pot. Lilt made a move to take the bucket for water but James stopped her.

"I will take it." Lily was surprised by him. The tone and his expression were very kind looking.

"Ok, Thanks," She handed him the bucket "I will take him for a walk then"

"Ok I will catch up with you ion a way ok?" They had a small route made up. It went around the lake and then to a small clearing not many people knew about.

"Sure" She took prongs out of the stable and started walking slowly.

~~~~~~~~about 10 minutes later```

"Lily wait up!" James shouted to her. She stopped and turned around, then waited patiently for James to approach her.

"So Lily were you stressed about the OWLs? Like you know in the sixth year?" She was shocked. Why was he asking her about the owls now?

"Yeah a bit. Were you?"

"Yeah." He admitted.

"Really? The famous Marauder James Potter is stressed about some tests?" She teased him.

"They are not some test you know."

"Wait till I tell the girls." She nodded her head teasingly. James laughed.

"You can tell them too that I actually saw Sirius studying."

"Studying? Sirius the light headed guy with too much ago?"

"Yeah that's him"

"Now I am shocked."

"Really?" She nodded.

"On this weekend do you want to go somewhere?"

"James are you asking me out again?" He has been doing the same thing on each care of magical session they had to do together. This time she didn't even border to turn her head towards him.

"What if I am?"

"Well then you are getting really boring." A raw statement.

"And if I want an answer?"

"You would." She couldn't finish because James cut her off.

".have to wait. I know. I know. What if I want a new answer?"

"Well then it is a no." Another raw statement.

"Something kinder?" He tried James

"Just give up for now ok." This time she even turned towards him.

"But what if I don't want to give up? What if I need you desperately? What if I would die with out you?"

"Well then poor you." She smiled a bit.

"You know what you are the most cold hearted person I even saw."

"Really? I thought that was Snape?" James was speechless. Lily laughed at him. Soon they reached back to the stables.

"You know we are really lucky this year we don't have any big exams." Lily said.

"Yeah but next year will be the Newts year. And I am sure that won't be fun."

"Yeah" They walked back to the common room talking and laughing about past.

"Lily we need to talk." Ela came running down from the dorm staircase and seemed really happy. Lily lifted her hand up as in a motion of bye to James and went with Ela upstairs.

"Lily we are planning a girls-night on this weekend."

"Great where?"

"It will be in our dorms mainly because we have large ones. Besides all the girls from five year up are gone be there. You have to come."

"Yeah I will I would miss that in a chance"

"Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"Well people told me that the Marauders know where the kitchens are and well it will be great if you could find out so we could smuggle some food to the party."

"Me why me?"

"Well James has a huge crush on you since like forever and you could use that. Then you are the only girl that doesn't giggle at the sight on them. You can just kiss him and them dump him"

"No, no I don' think it is a good idea."

"What isn't a good idea?" A voice asked behind them.

"For Lils to kiss and dump James Potter to get a way to get to the kitchens." Ela blabbed out not even looking at the person behind her.

"Well I don't like the dump part but the rest is fine with me." Both the girls shocked turned around to face James Potter himself. Ela started giggling like mad.

"What are you doing here James?"

"Originally I came to tell you that Professor Nana told us that we don't have to come for our sessions anymore." He actually was supposed to say that last week but then he wanted to meet Lily as much as possible. If he didn't tell her now then Professor Nana would tell her tomorrow at the care of magical creatures lesson.

"If you are already here could you please tell us where the kitchens are?" Ela got her speech back.

"Well I could but what would be my profit?"

"She can kiss you."

"No I can't"

"Ohh come on Lily once."

"No this is disgusting"

"Then go out for a date with me."

"No"

"Fine a short walk around the lake." Lily looked at him thoughtfully.

"She will do it" Ela answered for her and pushed Lily onto James. Straight into his strong arms. James circled his arms around her petit waist and placed his head into her hair, breathing the lavender scent deeply.

"James let go." Lily said softly. Her knees were weak and her heart was beating so fast she didn't think it was possible for it to beat any faster. He let go off her disappointedly.

"Fine I will do it but as a date and I am only doing it for a cause." Ela began cheering and James was happy. He would spend more time with her that was what counted. He grabbed her softly and took her outside onto the stairs. The stairs turned to a slide. He forgot. They bumped into each other several times until the stairs finished. James landed right on top of Lily. Now pretty much the whole common room was staring at them.

"James get off" Came squashed voice.

"Why I like it here." His arrogant self was coming back.

"But I don't"

"Well. but he couldn't finish because a pairs of strong arms grabbed him and pushed him away.

"Save this poor woman" Remus said.

"But moony it was so great and you had to spoil it" James sounded like a four year old now.

"James you were suffocating her"

"Well yeah but still it was nice" Remus signed and helped Lily up.

"You are not gone help me up?" Now he was teasing Remus.

"No"

"You're." and again he was cut off but this time by Sirius.

"I will help you up Romeo" Sirius pulled James up brotherly.

"Thanks"

"Lily began wondering. How could James change his moods so quickly? Why Remus was even a Marauder? He was the most polite boy she ever saw. How could James be so nice at one minute and then turn nasty in like three seconds?

"Are you ready, Lily?"

"Huh?!" She snapped out of her little trance. Every one was looking at her weirdly. James looked a bit worried but happy. Sirius was just staring at her blankly. Some of the girls giggled out loud. Remus was looking around.

"Are you ready yet, Lils? You have a walk to attend to."

"Right, let me just grab my cloak from upstairs ok?" She smiled with a huge fake and headed upstairs. She grabbed her cloak from Ela. Who mouthed her good luck and then went downstairs.

"Let's go" she said.

"Ok" He took her arm. She tried to sneak out of it but could not. Both of them walked out of the common room with whole common room staring after them.

AN Ok I finish it here. I am so sleepy. Now I will update only every other day or so because my school is starting and well I got science fair a humanities project and an English paper. I am sorry. I decided to move the girls-night a bit because it just didn't feat right. Ok well happy Chinese new year to every one/ R&R
