After doing rounds on the third floor, and what felt like a lifetime of awkward silence, the two Heads walked back to their rooms. After an uncomfortable goodnight, lily shut her door, heaving a deep sigh. After taking her hair down from its usual ponytail, and putting on her pajama's on, she heard a knock on the door. Furrowing her brow, Lily stumbled to her door, cracking it open. She was even more surprised to see James standing on the other side, blushed and nervous.

'What is he up to?' she wondered.

"What can I do for you James?" Lily asked, her eyebrow raised.

"Can I come in?"

Lily looked over her shoulder at the mess she called a room.

"Um, how about I come out?" She smiled.

"Uh..Ok." He mumbled, stepping back.

'What is going on with him?'

"Um, Lily, I have a, uh, question I need to ask you." James stuttered.

"What is it?" This was getting sketchy.

"I was wondering, if you were busy tomorrow afternoon."

"James Potter, are you asking me out?" Lily scoffed, but blushed at the same time.

"Well, I, uh, well sorta…yes?" he looked hopeful.

"James, I will not be another notch in your bedpost! I know how many girls you've been with," she narrowed her eyes, "What about our truce?"

"Lily, I really do want to go out with you!"

"Prove it," Lily said, rolling her eyes. James looked surprised, then his expression turned to pensive.

"Yea, I didn't think so." Lily turned around to go back into her room, when she was totally surprised. The boy (well, now man) with messy black hair who had teased her and asked her out numerous times had spun her around, pushed her against her door, and was kissing her passionately. It happened so fast, that it took Lily's breath away. He pulled away, and looked her straight in the eye.

"Lily Evans, will you go out with me?"

Lily's eyes were wide, and her mouth was ajar. Coming to her senses, she shook her head and squinted her eyes. Sighing, she snaked her arms around his neck, and kissed him (well, snogged would probably be a better description for what she was doing). After a minuet or so (or an hour, or a couple of months) Lily pulled away smiling.

"Yes, James, I will go out with you," but she narrowed her eyes, "You better not take advantage of me though."

He smiled, "Never."

"Well, good night." She said, untangling herself from James. She muttered her password, and slipped inside her bedroom, leaving a very happy fellow outside.

Flinging her self on her bed, she giggled. Rolling over she pulled the covers over herself, and shut her eyes letting sleep wash over her.

James Potter walked back to his room, a giant grin on his face. He had done it. He had finally gotten Lily Evans to go out with him. He felt like jumping, singing, skipping.

'Wait, no men don't skip' he thought. Shrugging, he skipped back to his room, ready for the next day. His date with Lily.

The common room was almost empty when Lily entered the portrait hole. It was Saterday, and there were no classes. She also had a date with James Potter.

'What did I do? I am just setting myself up for a heartbreak.'

Sure, she had gone out with guys, but they were never like James Potter. They always wanted to go out because she was Lily Evans, the girl that every boy wanted to date and the girl that ever girl wanted to be friends with.

'Oy,' she thought to herself, 'How did I become 'that' girl?' rolling her eyes, she plopped down on the couch. Liana came bounding down the stairs moments later, smiling her usual smile.

"Lily, dawling, how the hell are ya?" she asked, sitting down in the chair next to the couch.

"Liana, I just saw you last night."

"So, Lily dear, what would you like to do today? I heard that the Ravenclaw Quitich team is having a scrimiage this afternoon."

"Oh, I can't go." Lily admitted, blushing. Liana cocked an eyebrow, then made puppy dog eyes.

"Why, do you have another best friend who you would rather hang out with?"

"No, Ihaveadate." Lily mumbled.

"What? I didn't catch that." Lily sighed.

"I have a date."

"With who?"

"James."

"POTTER?" Liana screeched, "Oh Merlin, this is wonderful! Finally you come to your senses!"

"Excuse me, did someone scream my name?" a deep voice behind Lily said.

"Oh Potter, we were just talking about you." Liana smiled.

"Oh? And what was the nature of this conversation?"

"Oh, you know, your date with little Miss Lily here." Liana motioned to Lily, who was busy rollign her eyes.

"Do you mind not talking about me like I am not here? Anyway, do you want to go James?"

"Sure, lets," he smiled.

"Oh, sure! Leave little Miss Liana here to fend for herself!" Liana called in mock angst, "No one loves me!"

"'Bye Liana," Lily waved over her shoulder as she and James exited out of the portrait hole.

The two teenagers (adults? Well, you get the idea) walked out onto the grounds.

"So, James, where are we going for this mystery date?"

"Oh, you'll see." He said, smiling mischievously.

"Wait, there's Kate! HI Kate!" Lily called, "Wait, who is that she's with?" she asked James, under her breath.

"Sirius," James replied nonchalantly, waving to his fellow marauder. Lily gaped.

"Hey Lily, James!" Kate called smiling, elbowing Sirius to wave to. He looked up from whatever they were doing (it looked like wizard chess, but Lily and James were at least 30 feet away, so it could have been anything) and waved, gaping when he saw James with Lily.

"Oy, Prongs, finally eh?"

James blushed, taking Lily's hand, pulling her away from Sirius and Kate. When he slowed down, he didn't let go of her hand. After a few moments of walking in silence, they arrived at a large oak tree.

"James what are we doing here?"

"Oh, you know…." He grinned, and pulled his broom out from behind the tree. Lily's eyes went wide.

"Oh no, hell no, I hate flying."

"Come on, Lily, I promise I won't let ANYTHING happen to you."

"But…"

"Come on." He mounted the broom, motioning for her to come in front of him. She looked at James, then the broom, then back at James. Sighing, she inched towards the broom. James grabbed her hand, and pulled her in front of him. He wrapped his arms around Lily, grasping the broom in front of her. Kicking off from the ground, the broom whizzed into the air.

"Holy SH.." James covered Lily's mouth before she could finish saying what she was about to say.

"Lily, it's all right," he soothed, "I'm right here." She leaned back into him, as they flew higher and higher.

"James, I cannot believe I am doing this! I hate flying."

"You have to admit, it is beautiful up here."

James was right, it was beautiful. The green grass and the lake accented the old castle, so it looked like, well, a castle. It grew smaller and smaller until it looked like a dot.

"Uh, James, I think we've gone high enough," Lily said panicked.

"all right, I'll take us down." He turned the nose of the broom down, so they began to feint.

"Holy, James, you pull up this instant!" Lily shrieked. Just as they were about 20 feet from the ground, he pulled up. As soon as he landed, lily scurried off the broom. She was pale, and look terrified.

"James Potter!" She narrowed her eyes.

'Aw man, I shouldn't have done that!' James was mentally kicking himself in the ass.

"That was the most fantastic thing I have ever done!" she exclaimed, hugging him. He looked stunned.

"Heh, you thought I was going to yell at you," she leaned back, her arms still around James' neck, smiling mischievously.

"Well, maybe a little," James smiled back, relief washing over him.

"That was fun.".

"Do you think we could do it again?" James asked.

"You know, I think we could."

James leaned in, and kissed her under the old oak tree.
