There's no fight you
can't fight
This battle of love with me
You win again
So
little time
We do nothing but compete
There's no life on
earth
No other could see me through
You win again
Some never
try
But if anybody can, we can
And I'll be, I'll
be
Following you
You Win Again (Bee Gees)
Remus POV
September 2, 1975: Hogwarts
History of Magic
Today is the first day of classes. Instead of my usual paying attention and note taking, I spent the day worrying about how I was going to ask Arianna about trying out for team Chaser, without letting her know that I'd already sort of volunteered her for it to James.
That was probably a bad move, not telling her about it first….
She's very sensitive and I don't want to mess things up. Not just for the team, but for me as well. Selfish as it sounds, it's true.
But if you think about it reasonably, I didn't exactly tell James about her. I told him I had found a chaser. And that was only to make him stop badgering me about what happened the night Arianna arrived.
What day was that again? I used to be excellent at keeping track of dates…. Now I have no clue.
Potions
I talked to Arianna! HURRAY!
Here is how it went:
I was walking to portions when Arianna sidled up next to me. I think she must have noticed how pre-occupied I was, because instead of saying
"hi"
or something, she said
"are you okay?"
Then I began to get nervous. Very embarrassing to look back on.
"yeah. I-I'm fine, Heywilyagoutferchaser"
Arianna looked at me. I thought for sure that she was going to tell me that I was crazy for even suggesting it, but she didn't. All she said was:
"Heyawhuttu?"
Then my cheeks flushed. I realized that she hadn't understood me because I sounded like an idiot.
I am really as stupid as Prongs and Padfoot combined sometimes.
In my weaker moments.
But it was worth all of the embarrassment because after I repeated myself slowly, asking her to try out for chaser on the next Wednesday, she looked at me and after a second she said….
"okay… yeah I guess."
YES!

James POV
I am a hero!
Not only am I a hero, I am LILY'S hero!
Not that she actually said that of course….
I saved her dignity! I protected her from insulters!
YES! She HAS to go out with me now!
I was going to tell her exactly that right then and there, but Remus, who was also at the prefect meeting my act of courage occurred, stopped me.
I was kind of surprised that he even noticed. He has been kind of in outerspace lately. Which is weird for Remus.
But still. What a horrible person. Doesn't he see that he RUINED my chance!
Except when I told him how he's a horrible person and he deserves to be stoned, among other things, he just gave me a funny look.
"well she sure didn't look very happy at you intruding, did she."
So what?
I wonder if being confusing to people that are not on your intellectual level is a symptom of lycanthropy.
In Moony's case, it definitely is.
To make up for his lack of observational skills, he better fulfill his promise and bring me a chaser.
And they better be good.

Lily's POV
How dare he? How dare he?
The very nerve of the guy, ruining my chance to humiliate Luscious Malfoy! Just when things were all perfect to embarrass him and maybe find out more about Voldemort, Potter, of all people, had to go and RUIN things!
The wheels in my head started turning the second Malfoy came up to me during the Prefects meeting Potter and I were leading, and asked me out.
It caused quite a stir when he did, because it's like a spoken rule that Slytherins and Gryffindors do not date. Ever.
But then Potter had to come running over all dramatic, wand upraised, ready to curse Malfoy in about a million ways.
I'm kind of ashamed to write this, as I'm supposed to be furious with him, but when I saw his face, like steel, all cold and ready to do anything for me, my heart rose like a mile.
But then I realized that he obviously hadn't used his brain, he obviously didn't see the perfect opportunity that had presented itself.
And my heart fell. Again.
Sigh.
