A/N: I would like to remind all my loyal readers ( Thank you so much, everyone that's ever reviewed my story) that Lily still has no idea it was James who wrote her the love letters.

The Halloween Ball will be held on October 31st at 9:00 in the Great Hall.

Signed: Albus Dumbledore.

" Excellent, we've got exactly eight days to choose our costumes!"

"Oh, no, I'll have to start drinking those disgusting weight-loss potions again!"

"What are you talking about ,Lily, you're so skinny you could go as a beanstalk!"

James and Sirius exchanged looks as they watched Lily and Morgana, along with all the other Gryffindor girls, jumping up and down with glee. " Honestly, you'd think the novelty would wear off after four years" said Sirius. Morgana stopped squealing long enough to stick her tongue out at him. " And this is coming from someone who's had the same teddy bear since he was three!" she retorted.

"You've got a teddy bear?" exclaimed James, smirking. Sirius pouted. " Don't bring Robbie into this, Morgana!"

" Robbie?!"

"What? It was the name of my favourite Quidditch player."

This was too much for James. He started laughing hysterically, rolling around on the floor like he was having a seizure.

Lily rolled her eyes. Things between the two of them had been a bit tense lately. She loved him, but she still hated how immature he was sometimes, especially when he hexed Snape. True, Snape wasn't exactly her favourite person, but unlike James, she didn't hex people for the fun of it. And it wasn't as though he had ever done anything to James, either. Just yesterday, James had used a Jelly-Legs Jinx on him when Professor Flitwick wasn't looking for no apparent reason.

" Honestly, James, must you be so immature?" she yelled. "It's just a stupid teddy bear!" And with that, she stormed out of the room, ignoring Sirius as he yelled " Robbie is not stupid!" after her.

What did I ever see in him? She thought miserably, as she lay on her bed and shed a few quiet tears. He's the same stupid, pathetic, immature git he's always been.

Lily emptied the contents of her bag onto her bed. Cleaning out her bag always managed to make her feel better, for some reason. She sorted through all her things: textbooks, old lipsticks, spare parchment-and a very dirty white envelope she had never seen before. Lily opened it tentatively. It said:

Dear Lily,

The time has nearly come for me to tell you who I am. Would you do me the honour of being my date for the Halloween Ball? If your answer is yes, meet me by the entrance to the Great Hall at 7:00.

See you there (I hope),

From your Secret Admirer.

A month ago, Lily wouldn't have taken the slightest bit of notice to this letter, because she had already met her soul mate- James. But now, she wasn't so sure. This secret admirer sounded like such a lovely person, and he didn't sound someone who'd hex people when he was bored. And I bet he has decent hair, thought Lily. Maybe I could meet him at the ball?

"Well," said that annoying little voice in her head. "That sounds like a wonderful idea. But there's one tiny little detail you've overlooked."

And what would that be? asked Lily .

"Um…your boyfriend?"

Oh, no, I completely forgot. What am I going to do?

"You could break up with him"

What? I couldn't do that, it would break his heart!

" Suit yourself, then"

I will!

Lily was appalled at the mere suggestion. As if she'd ever break up with James because of a stupid letter! She stuffed the letter into her bag angrily, and , being the loyal girlfriend that she was, stormed out of the dormitory to the Quidditch pitch, so she could watch James practice- and maybe they could have a bit of "private time" before they got started on their homework. After all, immature git or not, James' kisses still made her weak at the knees.

A/N: Sorry this chapter's a bit short, but I didn't want everything to happen at once. This story's nearly finished, and I'm kinda sad, actually. But fear not, I'm already planning a prequel.
