Chapter 2
A Conversation in Ths Hall
Lily felt dizzy waking up in the next morning. She found Alice trying to wake her from her deep slumber. Her fingers rubbed her eyes keeping them open.
"ALRIGHT already, I'm awake." Lily groaned
"And well you should be. Had I let you sleep any later you would had missed breakfast. As it is if you don't run you will miss it." Alice told her.
"Okay, I'm coming I'll be ready in five."
"Fine, but please hurry I'm leaving in five"
Remus neatly made his bed as he waited for Sirius and James. A few moments later Remus, James and Sirius headed down to breakfast with Peter trailing slowly behind.
"Do you plan on trying again with Evens today." Sirius questioned.
Peter piped in, "Does Prongs ever go a day with out one attempt."
Lily and Alice were turning the corner just in time to hear Sirius's question and Peter's response. Both girls decided to slow down and keep enough distance, but still be able to hear the rest of the conversation.
"Maybe,..." Remus began but chose not to finish.
For once James wasn't sure. She seemed madder than usual yesterday. When he had asked her to join him on a moonlit stroll by lake, she made a point of staring him with cold and unsympathetic eyes before turning to walk away back to the castle. She normally ignored him or just casually said "no".
James tried not to let his feeling show, but Remus had figured out yesterday had been worse than normal and could tell James was having doubts.
"I dunno, she was kinda tict off yesterday maybe if I let it go for a day she might say yes when I do ask her." James spoke softly as if it pained him to say he wouldn't ask Even's out today.
When Lily heard that she smiled relieved to have a break.
"I like that better than your usual plans of hexing to capture Evens."
"I don't know if it'll work mate, you could try hexing snivilus."
Alice felt like coming out of hiding and slapping square across the cheak.
"Remus you spend so much time in the library with Evens you must no some idea how Prongs here can get her to see his charm." Sirius questioned.
"I think not asking until for a few days is the best idea."
"Are you sure it has nothing to do with hexing our slytherian friend."
"I assure you that will make definitely say no. Do you see how she always protects him when you hex him. I don't think she likes him but she doesn't like you when you hex him. Did you notice she was more adjitated then usual. You hexed snivilus yesterday. See a pattern..
Lily smiled to herself and thought That is what I like about Remus. He has his head on his shoulders he isn't a complete goof off and most importantly he reads people. He understands me better than Alice sometimes. If given a choice between Potterand Remus I would choose Remus. I wouldn't do that to Remus though because Pottermight get annoyed with him if the girl he had been trying so hard to get went out with his best friend. It would be too mean to Remus.
That evening when they arrived back at the Griffindor common room there was a notice posted on the message board. Alice and Lily took one glance at and knew it was the hogsmead noticed.
"There is no going back. As soon as he asks you I'll find a way to get Frank to go with me." Alice spoke.
"Remember this is just one date, no more." Lily hissed.
"We'll see" Alice said with a mysterious smile
