Disclaimer: I hate these things. You all know the drill. I'm not J.k. and never will be. I don't own any of the characters that you recognize from her books. Blah, blah, blah.

A/n: sorry for the wait. I swear, all the teachers get together and decide to give out all the big projects and test at end of term. Oh well. Only one term left, then I'm going to Disney land. Yahh! I'm going to try to make my chapters longer. Keyword being try.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, James walked over to help Lily.

Chapter three I think

James slowly walked towards Lily.

'She's so pretty. Her long red hair, bright green eyes' without realizing it, James had been standing by Lily for a whole minute.

'Snap out of it Potter! Your look like a bloody idiot standing there!' a voice that sounded an awfully like Sirius said. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, James watched Lily struggle to get her trunk into the train.

"Come on Evens. I thought you Prefect's could do everything. Yet here you are struggling to lift up your trunk." James said out loud. 'Why did I say that! I'm an idiot! I need to think before I speak!'

James could see Lily stiffen before she slowly turned around to face him.

Lily's p.o.v

"Stupid trunk" Lily muttered as she attempted to push her trunk into the train's small doorway. She was about to give up when she heard a voice behind her.

"Come on Evens. I thought you Prefect's could do everything. Yet here you are struggling to lift up your trunk." She knew that voice.

'What an idiot! He really should think before he speaks.' Lily thought as she slowly turned to face James Potter.

"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked tiredly. But James wasn't listening. He had that expression he always wore when he was thinking. She always wanted to laugh when she saw him wear this expression. It was easy to tell what was going through his mind. First, horror at what he had said, then a trapped look, like he didn't know what to do next, then finally the look of resolution. What Lily expected to happen was for James to say something along the lines of 'will you go out with me'. What he did do surprised her.

James did not say anything at all. Instead, he picked up Lily's trunk, found the compartment her two best friends were in, and left without a word. Lily watched him walk away in shock.

"Lily, did James just help you, without asking you out?" her friend Sara asked. Lily only looked at her friends in confusion.

A/n: See, longer. I was planning to write more, but I can't find the notebook that this story is in, so I'm writing it from memory. I'm going to try and update every weekend. Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Now please r & r
