Lily's Final Answer

Chapter 7 – Hand in Hand

"Look, James, I'm sorry!"

"Save it Lily. I thought you were different, but I guess you are just a jerk." James said.

"Again, I'm REALLY sorry. I wanted to ask you something…" Lily trailed off.

"Yes? And what is it you want to ask me?"

"Will you go to Hogsmead with me?" Lily asked in all seriousness.

"Are you serious Lily? Or are you again, just trying to mess with me?"

Lily got up and sat next to James.

"Lily, if you are serious about wanting to go out with me, then yeah, I'll go out with you." James said with a slight smile.

Lily smiled back and gave James a "for real" sweet kiss on the cheek.

The carriages pulled up to the doors of Hogwarts. Lily and James walked in the school hand in hand. People stared as they walked together. Elise, Sirius, Remus, Rosie, and Skyler met up with Lily and James. The second they saw their fingers interlocked, they started asking all sorts of questions. Lily and James just smiled at each other and kept saying they talked through their issues.

Everyone walked into the Great Hall. Lily and James sat next to each other, Rosie and Sirius sat across the table from them, and Skyler met up with Lothar Britt, and sat to the right of James and Lily. Lothar is also in Gryffindor. Remus and Elise sat to the left of Sirius and Rosie.

Dumbledore stood up after all of the first years were sorted and said a few words.

"Welcome!" He said. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Before we start our feast, I would like to say a few words. And here they are: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!"

He sat down and the hall erupted in a boom of cheers and whistles. The tables filled with food. We all dug in. After about an hour and a half of talking about any random thing and eating, the tables cleared and Dumbledore stood up once again.

"A few announcements before you all sleep. Please note, that the Dark Forest is forbidden to all students."

A bunch of loud groans cam from Sirius and James.

"Yes Mr. Potter and Mr. Black, it is even forbidden to you. Now, please give a round of applause and send out your congratulations to Mr. Potter and Miss Evans for becoming the Head Boy/Girl."

Loud cheers erupted from everyone except the Slytherin table.

"You will be receiving your schedules during breakfast tomorrow morning. Now go and rest for we all have a big and exciting day ahead of us tomorrow." Dumbledore finished.

With that final note, everyone got up to go to their dormitories. Lily and James, however, went to the Professor's table to receive duties and instructions from Dumbledore before they went up to Gryffindor tower to sleep. Lily wanted to tell Skyler, Rosie, and Elise everything that happened in the last few hours.
