Disclaimer: I own nothing. BUT wait a minute... THAT IS SUCH A CHEESY LINE... whatever. That's just peachy. Okay, Lisa, down girl. I own nothing as in the Harry Potter books and what not. I do own my cookies. The ones WE made. Yes the ones Lisa and I made. They were really good.


Chapter 7
Questions and Answers


"We have to go quickly if we want to finish and be back before curfew." Alice said. Lily agreed and off they went. They quietly snuck down to the common room and were relived to find only Peter there.

They both knew that telling him would not hurt them, but he may actually use some of his pea sized brain and tell his friends that they were leaving the common room very close to curfew, not something they usually did. It didn't really matter since they knew where Marlene would be, so off they went to the library.

"Marlene," Alice whispered with urgency in her voice.

Madam Pince looked at them with a hawk like stare.

Knowing better than to make a sound and be removed from the library Lily merely went slowly up to Marlene and motioned for her to follow her out of the library.

"What was so important that you had to remove me from my book?"

Alice explained and the three very giddy girls made there way to the kitchens. When they arrived a house elf asked if there was anything that could be done for them. When they made their request the house elf was quick to help do as they asked and they then began.

Meanwhile back in the Gryfindor tower three of the Marauders were sitting in the dorm trying to act cool and not seem to excited about what they were going to do but in truth all of them wanted to do it and to see Lily's face when she found what they were planning.

Lily put the finishing touches on her masterpiece and Alice waved her wand and muttered an incantation surrounding the dessert while Marlene flipped through books trying to find the proper charm.

"I got it," Marlene announced excitedly showing the page to both Alice and Lily.

"That's perfect!" Both Alice and Lily said in unison. They looked at each other and broke into fits of laughter.

"Lils, you're the best at charms, so why don't you do the spell?"

"Sure" Lily looked over the spell, removed her wand from robes and performed the spell.

"Hey, Looky, come here," Alice said calling to there favorite house elf

"What can Looky do for masters?" The house elf asked, pleased to be of service.

"We have a favor to ask. Can you deliver this to James Potter..."


So now we go forward a few hours to, oh say, 11 o'clock and to the dorm of James Potter.

"Come on guy, it's show time." James announced.

"Should we invite Peter?"

"Of course, he's like a brother and I want him to see the changing point in my love life. I want him to know why all of a sudden the amazing Lily Evans will be head over heels in love with me, and finally see the light. She will finally know that I am her prince charming."

"Oi, Peter rise n' shine."

"What time is it?" Asked a very groggy Peter.

"Time for you to come on an adventure with us so get up we leave in five"

Five minutes later they were on there way out of the common room, all four of them under the invisibility cloak. They walked to a wall covered by a tapestry of Barnabas the Barny's foolish attempt to train trolls for ballet. They walked by the tapestry 3 times focusing only on what they needed. None of them were at all shocked when a door with a brass handle appeared. James pulled it open and it was exactly what they needed. There were the proper books. There was everything they needed to put the plan into action.

"Okay, perfect."

"Everyone do their part, Peter you can help Moony find the proper spell."

"Right"

They worked in perfect harmony. James was amazed how large the room was. The rows of desserts seemed to never end. Sirius lost restraint and ate some, but I would have too- I mean just thinking about an acre of cakes, cookies, souffles, you name it makes you mouth water and your stomach grumble complain about the distance of time between now and your last meal. James finally decided on creme brulee, very decadent.

"Good choice, Prongs, but it wont work for our purposes. Try a cake," Remus told him.

James thought about and eventually decided that his friend was indeed, as always, right. He went back to choosing a dessert and this time choose a seven layer chocolate cake.

When he showed his friends they all agreed it was perfect.

"Perfect timing too 'cuz I have the charm. Look here guys,"

"Oh my you are so right."

"Okay now add your part Sirius and I'll perform the charm."

"Sure thing."

They finished adding magic to the present and finally had only to get James' broom from the dorm and sneak outside. They retrieved the broom with a simple accio and with the help of the cloak they made it outside.

"Hand me the box once I mount my broom and you guys wait here until I get back here."

James flew up to the Gryfindor tower and quickly found the one Lily was sound asleep in. He silently climbed through the open window and softly muttered the charm to hang the package above Lily's bed. As sightly as he came, he left and flew back down, of course doing some loop-de-doops for the fun of it and enjoyed the wind in his face.

As excited as they were they every Gryfindor male in there year was asleep shortly after returning from the grounds.


Now the big day awaits and now we hit the fast forward button on time and now it is quarter to 7 and Lily wakes up as usual.

"What the is this?"

"Lils, I can't wait til breakfast and I mean how will he react, I mean I know he will be so happy and he'll desperately want to go out with you.-"

"Allie calm down"

"Hey Lils whats that box"

"I dunno I was going to open it when Alice started spazzing"

"I resent that"

The three girls began laughing and joking. "Well why don't we open this mysterious box or do we want to just look at it"

"Okay Marlene and Allie you each take a side of the bow and pull and I'll undo the rapping paper."

Time seemed to freeze and Alice and Marlene each gave their side a slight tug and it flawlessly came undone. Lily began to undo the purple wrapping paper slowly and carefully removing it without ripping any of the lilac colored paper, The box itself was white and fireworks were going off on the white.

"Well it's a talented wizard or witch who sent this to you. That spell wasn't in our charms book"

"It's a rather simple charm but many people can't pronounce the incantation. Although to get the fireworks multicolored does take some skill."

"Okay now Lils open the box I can't wait any longer."

They all gasped when they say what was in box, A multilayered chocolate cake. The plate beneath the cake began to lift itself up and stopped when it was hovering above the box. Chocolate chips appeared from nowhere and began raining down and froze in mid air. They began forming shapes.

"Will... you... go... out... with... me, oh god Lils you have a lover."

The chocolate chips landed gently on the cake and then came up again and spelled out "DIG IN" and then "James"

"Well consider this a yes to your question"


Now we jump to the male dorm at about 7. We see Remus starting to wake up. We watch Sirius getting up and lunging for the bathroom. We hear Sirius's off tune singing that wakes up the two sleeping marauders. Well okay you don't see or hear any of this but play along.

Now at about 7:15 James finishes his shower and begans pulling on his robes and shoving his books in his bag. Remus is about to get in the shower when a house elf appears at the door way of their dorm.

"The firewhisky we ordered is for the after party game next week but we don't mind it early." Sirius told the elf.

"Masters, this is not firewhisky. It is a present for master Potter sir."

"Who would want to give James a present?"

"Oh hush, thanks Looky."

Looky handed James a parcel, bowed and left.

Unlike Lily James ripped open the packages and out flittered a single slip of paper. It open to reveal a hundred chocalate cookies. They came up and surrounded James and then some more came out of the paper and spelled out. "WILL YOU GO OUT WITH ME" They cookies moved away and fell into a box that had magically appeared and the lid fell down and had written on it i n very fancy cursive:

"Please

Just one date

Lily Evans"

"Kinda makes you feel that all that work was for waste." Sirius said .

"Yes but now we know what her answer will be." Remus pointed out.

"I thought she hated you" Peter said.

"We all did but maybe there is hope for us all." Sirius laughed.

"Gee way to make Prongs feel good"

"Prongs, Prongs, earth to James."

James was just standing there dumb founded. All of a sudden he was broken from his trance, "She loves me."

"I wouldn't go that far but she has feelings for you."

"Why are we letting these cookies go to waste lets eat."

"Leave it to Sirius to think of his stomach first."

They all laughed and invited Frank, who had quietly watched this whole this ordeal, to join. Together they began devouring the seemingly endless supply of cookies. Even after only one bite it was unanimously agreed that these were the greatest cookies this world has ever tasted.

In the dorm that housed Lily Evans they ate the cake and were lifted from their world and in a world pf love and peace. Lily ate it and thought of James. Alice ate it and thought of Frank. Marlene ate it and thought of her family. Really what they were thinking of was love.

At five of 8 everyone from their year and house was ready for breakfast. James was slower with his steps than usual. Sirius and Peter passed him to make sure they were at breakfast on time. Remus and Frank stayed behind curious of what would happen.

Lily took her steps one at a time and when she finally emerged from the bottom of the stairs at the same time as James. They locked eyes and it was as if time froze for the few moments and nothing else seemed to matter. Their friends watched in awe and after what seemed to be a life time they said at the same time, "Yes." They laughed and ran towards each and together they walked down to lunch.

"Well that was exciting." Alice said breaking the moment.

"About time too, certain romance works so perfectly when both people agree to want it." Frank pointed out.

"I know what you mean."

They both did and that silence was enough to know they were in love.

"Yes," Alice began.

"I will go out with you" Frank finished and together they walked to the great hall.

After they left Marlene laughed "Sorry Remus I don't have feelings for you."

They both laughed and together they walked down to the great hall.
