You know I don't own these characters, I know that I don't own them... then why am I wasting my precious time writing this stupid disclaimer?!??

When they got out of Zonko's, it was almost time to leave. James hadn't realized this, but Lily being very punctual herself spoke up at once:

'C'mon let's leave, it's nearly time to go and I expect you're going to meet your buddies somewhere?' she asked.

'Yeah' said James, suddenly remembering that he had to meet Sirius, Remus and Peter outside Honeydukes at 5:00. He smiled as he pictured their astonished faces when they would see him with none other than Lily Evans!

They reached Honeydukes, and sure enough, there beside the entrance of the sweetshop Remus and Peter stood with their dates. Elise, who had come with Peter didn't look too happy. She was slightly frowning and stood awkwardly next to Peter. Remus and Alyssa however, looked extremely happy. They were talking animatedly to each other. James was happy for Remus. It was seldom that he liked anyone and he was especially picky about girls. Sirius and Lisa, were no where to be seen. James scanned the village. He couldn't see his best friend and his pretty date anywhere. They walked over to Peter and Remus.

'L-l-lily?' stammered Peter. He was clearly shocked to find who James's date was. James grinned widely. 'But how...' started Peter. Lily smiled. 'Long story, Peter!' she said good-naturedly, linking her arm in James's.

'Lily, James! I always knew you were meant for each other' said Remus, coming forward and addressing them formally.

'Yeah right! You knew that through Divination? Where did you see it, in the crystal ball or in my teacup?' asked James.

Remus laughed. 'Neither James, My sixth sense was enough for that. You two were too much alike!' he said truthfully.

'We just found out!' said Lily. 'You should've told us before. All those times we loathed each other like anything' she enunciated.

'Speak for yourself!' cautioned James. 'I never loathed you! How dare you say that!' he said in mock outrage.

'Look, there's Sirius and Lisa!' Peter pointed excitedly.

'Keep your hair on, Peter! I want to surprise Sirius' said James, earnestly.

Sirius and Lisa walked towards them. Apparently, they weren't aware of the time. Moreover, they weren't aware of anything that was going on. Lisa was snuggled closed to Sirius as they walked towards Honeydukes. She seemed extremely happy. Sirius looked less blissful, but was all the same talking raptly to his date. James grinned; Sirius could never let a good date go to waste! They strolled over to them and, just as James had predicted... Sirius's jaw dropped at the site of Lily.

'Lily!' gasped Sirius, abruptly letting go of Lisa. Lisa threw him a reproachful look. 'How...what...where...?' he stammered, nonplussed.

James and Lily laughed. 'You can't believe it, can you?' asked James. 'I can't either!' he said triumphantly. Sirius was still mouthing wordlessly, like a helpless fish. 'It's ok, fill you in with the details later' said James, thumping Sirius on his back. 'C'mon, let's go the carriages are about to leave'

'Goodnight!' said James as Lily made to leave for her dormitory that night. They had had a wonderful day so far. 'Goodnight!' she replied. And she did something James could never have thought of. She pecked him on the cheek causing him to go very red before continuing her way up her dormitory stairs. James rubbed the spot where she had kissed him, too shocked to say anything.

'Lucky dog!' said Sirius, from behind him.

'I sure am' said James as he turned around, and went to sit on the chair next to Sirius's, a pleasant smile playing on his face.

He told Sirius all about how he had blurted out his proposal to Lily and how she had said they would give it a try. Sirius was amazed at the co incidents. He then started grumbling about how typical a girl Lisa was and that he didn't care if she was the prettiest girl in Hogwarts.

'Padfoot, she'll die if you break up with her!' warned James.

'C'mon! Other girls have survived with me breaking up with them, right? I don't think she'll be any different!' Sirius retorted. 'And anyway, she's such a sissy. She showed me off to all her friends and then acted like she was some kind of a princess, went all giggly over me! Very annoying, to tell you the truth! You are one lucky man as Lily is no ordinary girl. I mean, a girl who likes Dungbombs... ah... she'd be like my dream girl!' he articulated dreamily.
