Prologue
"No," Lily Evans firmly stated for what seemed to be, and what possibly was, the millionth time.
"C'mon, Evans," James Potter continued in desperation, "we'd be doing the entire student—and faculty—population of Hogwarts a huge favor by finally going out!"
"If I've told you once, Potter, I've told you a hundred times: the answer is NO." With that, Lily left the Great Hall.
James internally groaned. He had failed yet again to obtain permission for courting Miss Lily Evans. One would think he'd eventually give up after having received every negative answer known to wizard-kind from her. There was the simple response (no), but sometimes he would receive a rather harsh reply, like "No way!" "Are you freakin' kidding me?", and "Back off, flobberworm." The most creative one he had ever gotten was "I'd rather be tied to an old Shooting Star on its way into a black hole, force-fed twenty cockroach clusters, and made to spend an entire day with a banshee from New York City."
All in all, Lily had not acquiesced to any of his requests.
But why not, anyway? Sure he'd been a git in fifth year, but he was much better now. He couldn't be that repulsive…right?
