=====
Lily woke up in the hospital wing, having minor amnesia and no remembrance of how she got there. She sat up in bed and clutched her head as white hot pain surged through it.
"Ow......." Lily moaned while laying back down onto the bed.
"Oh, you're awake!" cheered Madame Pomphrey as she dropped the flowers she was arranging and bustled over to see her patient.
"What happened?" asked Lily as she rubbed her forehead. "I feel like I was hit by a rampaging Hippogriff."
"Well, actually you were hit by a marble sink, which may leave a bit more minor bruising." replied Madame Pomphrey as she put handed Lily an ice pack. "Somebody found you lying in the bathroom in some water, my guess is you slipped."
"Hmmm." mumbled Lily as she placed the cool ice against her head.
"Lily!" yelled Devonny as she rushed in the hospital wing doors towards her best friend, closely followed by Veronica.
"Visiting hours are over, my patient needs rest-" began Madame Pomphrey, but Veronica cut in.
"What the fuck happened to you, Lils?" she asked while plopping down on the end of the bed, making the mattress bounce and cueing another moan of pain from Lily.
"Fine, make it quick." sighed Madame Pomphrey as she thrust a magical painkilling pill at Lily, who swallowed it immediately.
"We can't let you even go to the loos alone without having you survive a near death experience." Veronica continued. "What did you do in there, trip on a empty roll of toilet paper and fall to the ground, hitting the wall several times on the way?"
"Well when James found her, he said-" began Madame Pomphrey, but this time it was Lily who cut her off.
"James found me?" she asked eagerly. "What, may I ask, is James' last name?"
"Potter. James Potter." replied the nurse.
"What? That prat rescued me from the girl's bathroom...?" said Lily in a very surprised voice.
"Wow, I didn't know he was THAT desperate to have you as a girlfriend." said Devonny in awe.
"Whatever." said Lily as she sat up, dropping her ice pack, and began to rise from the bed. "I'm fine to go, okay Madame Pomphrey?"
The school nurse didn't even look up from her current job of making the bed, she just made a waving gesture.
"Ok." shrugged Veronica as she helped Lily out of bed. the three girls set off down the hall.
"Well, I have to go to the library to pick up a book for our homework." said Lily as they came upon the corridor that led to the library.
"Ok, see ya later Lils." said Veronica. "And if you pass out on the way there; fear not because James will probably be there to save you before you even hit the ground." she smirked.
"Bye." said Lily, pretending not to hear as she walked the opposite way.
On the way back from her trip to the library 30 minutes later, Lily pondered the most recent History of Magic essay. She gave the password to the portrait of the Fat Lady at the entrance to the dorms, and walked into the Gryffindor common room. She stumbled upon some papers that littered the floor, breaking her train of thought.
"Wow, Cris' diary entries..." chuckled Lily softly. "Someone is trying to do blackmail..." She bent down to gather the papers.
"Hey Evans." said James cooly as he walked down the marble staircase from the boy's dorms, accompanied by Sirius and Remus.
"Potter!" said Lily as she jumped from shock.
"How are you feeling?" he asked as he walked over and held out a hand to help her up off the ground.
"I'm fine.. er.. thanks for saving me..." said Lily with a slight smile playing on her lips.
"It was no problem." he shrugged as Lily grabbed his hand, allowing him to pull her up. "So you don't hate me after all?" he asked.
"Well, lot's of frustration," said Lily. "But never hate."
"So you do wanna go out with me?" James replied eagerly.
"Don't push your luck, James." said Lily as she walked up the stairs while clutching Cris's torn up diary pages.
"Hey, I am James, not Potter like I usually am." he smiled triumphantly as Lily climbed up the girl's dorm staircase and headed out of view.
"Yeah, and she didn't even ask why you were randomly showed up in the girls bathroom." said Remus.
"It is just because he is so desperate for damsels in distress; and the best place to find those are the bathroom. We all know James rescues unconscious girls from the loos everyday." said Sirius.
"Nah, but what I was actually doing is... well my little secret for me to know and you not to find out." smiled James with a twinkle in his eye.
"Hey hey." said Veronica as she painted Dev's toenails. "I heard from pratboy Sirius that you were so unconscious that James carried you to the hospital wing."
"Well I just saw him and he didn't mention that." replied Lily. "And he asked me out, again.
"Do you have enough brains to say yes this time?" asked Devonny.
"Eck no. Why would I want to date with him?" asked Lily.
"He's popular." said Veronica.
"And pretty good lookin." added Devonny.
"And athletic."
"And he is really good at Transfiguration."
"And he is-"
"STOP!" sighed Lily. "God you people so forgetting about the fact that he constantly annoys me and goes through about 5 girls a week!
"So?" asked Devonny. Lily only sighed. "Well, I think his boyish charm is ebbing away at your bloody sanity!" she continued. "I wish he would ask me out!"
"I guess the whole stupid popular boy thing works for you, but I would never ever be his girlfriend. Mark my words." said Lily as she finished changing into her pajamas.
"I shall do just that." smirked Veronica. "Mental post-it time!"
"Good night." groaned Lily as she pulled her bed hangings around her.
"Ok, well fuck school and good grades, Degrassi is on and its a new episode." cheered Veronica as she clicked on the TV to watch the end of last week's new episode before watching the new one.
Just then, Tori and Adele came in.
"We both found dates!" cheered Adele as she plopped down o Veronica's bed, because it was closest to the TV.
"Who?" asked Devonny.
"Well, um.." said Tori. "They are, well, younger." said Adele. "But the notices says older students can invite younger ones!" she added haastily, seeing the look on Veronica's face.
"Hw muh younger? If you say anything under 6th year I am going to pound in your faces." implied Veronica.
"Er, 5th year." replied Adele quietly.
"You people are sad. And cradle robbers! I would rather go alone the with younger guys, especially 2 years younger!
"Well now, look at the TV! Dylan and marco are kissing. Not only is thgat literally gay, but Marco is 2 years younger than Dylan." said Tori brightly.
"Alright... um thats a TV show, a very interesting one at that." said Veronica.
"Well than shut the hell p so I can watch it." said Dev, who had been staring unblinkingly the whole time.
Meanwhile the three marauders were talking about ther girl problems.
"Why wont she say yes?" James asked as the boys trudged up the stairs to their dorm.
"She doesn't like you mate." said Sirius in a matter-of-factly way.
"I wouldn't be talking. A girl hasn't agreed to date you for quite a while now." smiled Remus.
Sirius mumbled to himself as he changed quickly flopped down onto his bed.
"How soon we forget." said Remus as he, too, got changed.
"I have to get a plan to get her to agree to date me." said James thoughtfully.
"I highly recommend you use a pickup line. Something catchy." said Sirius as he sat up on the bed.
"You are a genius!" said James sarcastically, remembering how miserably pickup lines worked.
"I know." smirked Sirius, missing the sarcasm.
"Well who are you going to ask Remus?" said James as he got into hgis bed.
"I dunno..." lied Remus. "How bout you, Sirius?"
"Oh, I'll find someone who can appreciate how damn sexy I am!" he cheered.
"Oh so you are going to ask yuor reflection from the mirror?" smirked James. Sirius pouted and rolled over on his side, and soon everyone was asleep.
The next morning, the three Marauders were sitting at the breakfast table. Remus was reading the Daily prophet, and James and Sirius were discussing James' plan to get Lily to like him.
"I am telling you, use some kind of pick up line. Something simple, like Ôdid it hurt when you fell from heaven' or ÔI lost my number, can I have yours." said Sirius.
"I have a better idea. I ask her a bunch of random questions, she becomes confused and automatically says yea when I ask her out. Think it will work?" asked James.
"Not. A. Chance." said Sirius between bites of toast.
"Well I am gonna try anyway. Here she comes!" said James as he watched Lily strut into the Great Hall with Devonny and Veronica.
"Hey ladies." said Sirius as he put on a huge grin.
"Heeey." said Veronica in the middle of a big yawn as she sat down and grabbed some coffee.
"Hi." said Devonny brightly.
"Lily! You are good at Divination right?" asked James as he walked over to her.
"Yeah." said Lily. "If you want to copy my homework than forget-"
"And you did the History of magic homework?" James cut her off.
"Yeah, I guess.
"And they are your friends." said James, pointing to Veronica and Devonny.
"Yeah, no fricking duh. I only hang around them 24-7.
"And you are Head Girl?
"Yeah! How many times do you need reminding?" snapped Lily, who was getting a bit irritated with all of the seemingly pointless questions.
"And you want to go out with me?" inquired James.
"Ye-no." said Lily.
"What was that?
"No." said Lily simply as she sat down and began to eat.
"So close." mumbled James.
"Should have listened to me." said Sirius in a bit of a mocking voice.
"I want to have her as a girlfriend not scare her away." said James.
"No really, it works. Watch me." replied Sirius an he gulped down some juice and walked over to a random Hufflepuff girl. James saw him talking, then she slapped his face really hard.
"Yeah that worked really well." said James as Sirius sat down while clutching his red cheek.
"Minor setback. I can get any girl I want." said Sirius.
"Sure" said Lupin sarcastically, peering over his paper.
As the students were walking through the halls, they saw notices hanging everywhere. It read:
ATTENTION SEVENTH YEAR STUDENTS OF HOGWARTS:
ON OCTOBER 31 THERE WILL BE A CHRISTMAS BALL TO HONOR OUR SEVENTH YEAR STUDENTS.
ALL SEVENTH YEAR STUDENTS MUST FIND A DATE AND MAY INVITE STUDENTS OF YOUNGER YEAR IF THEY WISH.
PREFECTS AND HEAD GIRL/BOY: ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE BALL WILL BE MADE AT THE NEXT MEETING DATED FOR SEPTEMBER 12.
"Why do we have to find dates." sighed Veronica.
"Whats the matter with dates? Boys are awesome." smiled Devonny.
"Guys look at me and think 'eew a punk'." said Veronica hastily.
"Actually, most people think Ôwhat a goth', then you blow up at them and they never make that mistake again." said Lily. Veronica shrugged.
"Well you have like a month and a half to find a date." said Devonny. "I had better start my beauty ritual now or I will never be ready."
"Oh no do you know what this means?" asked Lily.
"What? The beautiful perfect Lillian Evans should have no problem finding a date." trilled Veronica.
"No." she snapped. "It means Potter will be even more of a stupid annoying prat than usual." said Lily, just as James walked towards her.
"Hey Lils, wanna come to the ball with me?" asked James as he clutched one of the notices at his side.
"No." said Lily. "Hell will freeze over and become a skating rink for the elderly mad before any such thing happens."
"That was a little harsh..." said Veronica.
"Whatever. See you in Transfiguration then." said James in an unnerved way as he walked back to a sniggering Remus and Sirius.
"Wow he takes rejection very well..." said Devonny as they walked down the hall.
"He is so used to getting turned down that it is in his daily schedule. ÔLets see, first I annoy Lily, then I ask Lily out, then I get rejected by lily, then I torture Slytherins, then I gloat'." said Veronica, mocking James astonishingly well. He didn't seem to notice.
"That means the prefect meeting is tonight then." said Remus, reading the notice, as James walked back over.
"So?" asked James.
"Isn't quidditch practice tonight?" asked Sirius, one of the teams beaters.
"I can blow off the meeting." shrugged James.
"But you are Head Boy!" cried Remus.
"Than I will cut practice short." said James coolly.
"You could just reschedule the practice until tomorrow." suggestred Remus.
"Alright, I'll go spread the word at dinner." replied James as he rumpled his hair.
"I think it is messy enough." said Lupin. "Soon little owls will start nesting in it."
"Nah." said James absentmindedly as he shot a flirty smile at Lily as she passed by again. "Hey Evans!"
"Hi Potter." she replied dolefully while continuing to walk down the corridor.
"Awe, she basically ignored me." pouted James.
"I think she was recuperating from the last James attack." replied Remus.
"No! You just have to work on your smile, its all about flashing the right amount of teeth at the right time, then you have to make your lips curl like this-" instructed Sirius while showing his best friends a smile.
"I would say that looks hot, but that sounds to gay." said Remus as they continued to walk to their next lesson.
