James Potter was depressed. He was dateless for the fourth year in a row. This wasn't because there weren't any girls that would have gone with him. On the contrary, he knew lots of girls that would love to go with him-he even had his own fan club, which consisted of about sixty of his biggest fans, mostly first and second years but quite a few older girls and it was rumoured that a few of the teachers belonged, too. So why was he dateless if he could have any girl he wanted? Because he couldn't have any girl he wanted. The only girl he wanted was Lily Evans, the one girl he didn't have a snowball's chance in Hell with. She had despised him since her very first day at Hogwarts, and it probably had something to do with all the pranks he had played on her. He knew it was immature, but he couldn't help it. He had tried several times to tell her how he felt, but the words seemed to stick in his throat like Droobles Best Blowing Gum, which he had once gotten in her hair. He still remembered the tears in her eyes as Madam Pomfrey cut off her long red curls. He gazed longingly at her from across the Great Hall. She was as beautiful as ever, but tonight there was something different about her. He looked closely at her face, and that's when he realised-she wasn't wearing her glasses. James knew that Lily could barely see without her glasses, because he and his best friend Sirius had hidden them on numerous occasions. Lily was not amused when she learnt that she had asked a suit of armour if he had seen her glasses. James was wondering whether he should go and talk to Lily, when Sirius Black walked up to him. "Hey, Prongs!" James looked up. "Why don't you go and talk to Evans? I know you want to, you're getting that look again". "What look? I have no idea what you're talking about, Padfoot". Sirius knew how he felt about Lily, but he didn't really understand why James didn't just give up on her. "Oh, why don't you just talk to her already if it'll stop you moping!" exclaimed Sirius. An evil grin spread across his face. "I dare you to." Sirius had said the magic words. No Marauder, especially not James, could resist a dare. He took a deep breath and walked over to Lily's table, where she was sitting with her friend Morgana Ballycastle, whom Sirius had gone out with last year. James secretly thought that they should get back together, but he didn't think it would be wise to tell Sirius that. His stomach did another back flip when he reached Lily's table. (She was sitting alone now, because Morgana was dancing with a blonde seventh-year Ravenclaw James didn't know.) "All right, Evans?" he tried to smile as he awaited the inevitable "Get lost, Potter!" But it didn't come. Instead she gave him a dazzling smile! James was confused-was this the Lily that had been rejecting him for seven years?
This probably isn't one of my best chapters, but please R&R anyways!!!!!
