It came: The Idea

Yay, I actually had this half wrote, but it needed a little tuning….

Anyway I have a plan now! Yay!

It was the end of January and James knew he didn't have very long. Not long at all if you took in the fact that it had taken him only one year for her to hate him, and the next five after that to just become friends.

And now he had six months to make her his. And only his.

It was a challenge to most people, and a bloody hard one at that. But to James Potter it was a thrill. Every day brought a new surprise, whether she would hex him or merely glare, whether she would stomp away from him or hurl a mouthful of abuse, whether she would punch him or just merely sneer.

He hoped one day he could surprise her. Like she had surprised him so many times in the past. Yet she always seemed one step ahead, able to thwart him romantic gestures with a flick of the wand before he had a chance to execute his plans. He wanted to surprise her; he wanted her in a flash to see him as a different person, and not the rash bigheaded git she thought he was. It was definitely a big challenge.

Of course he was not alone in his quest, no he had the help of Griffindor's best pranksters since the days of his own father. Sirius Black and Remus Lupin (A/N: Peter is baddddd and therefore will not be included in this story.) were, with him and of course Lily Evans top of the year, much to the chagrin of the Ravenclaw pupils. And with their help and occasional sensible advice he was going to win the heart of Lily.

So as he stared at her through the window tiny cogs were moving in his head, and they were moving slightly bigger cogs and they were moving EVEN bigger cogs, well you get idea.

Ideas were forming in his head. Ideas so overblown that he was afraid overheating may just occur in his head. But he continued on dismissing ideas as he went, I mean where on earth was he supposed to get a hot air balloon?

Finally an idea formed in his head, a good idea at that.

The idea just came to him, it came so easily and it made so much sense he was immensely surprised he hadn't thought of it earlier.

He had a plan, and now all he needed was his Marauders.

Ok please review! I realise it is immensely sappy, but fluff is good.
