AN:Well it has been about two months since I last updated sorry but I have been busy with pre season conditioning and studying b/c my evil sadistic school likes to give us huge novels to read over the summer and expects us to have a test in every class the third day of school one being in Spanish which is my worst subject. I have also not updated b/c I have sort of lost interest in writing this story I thinks its ok but could be better but not enough people seem to want to read it but, I shall continue to post what I have written in my notebook and if the feedback is at least semi positive I will continue to write. So please review constructive criticism is welcome. Now if your still reading this you're a lot more patient then I am please enjoy the story and review!

To the dismay of Lily when she arrived at dinner the whole school was buzzing with the latest news of her asking James out. Oh great Lily thought to herself not only do I have to go out with him but now the whole school thinks I'm a cheap floozy.

"Oh Lily I saved you a seat" James called out to her well patting the seat next to her.

Lily looked for a way out but unfortunately that was the last seat at the table left and at least her friends would be sitting with her. Lily stalked over to the table and sat down gathering her food well trying to ignore James which was quite a task considering he kept trying to put his arm around her waist.

"Potter get your hand off me" Lily hissed

"But flower I want everyone to know that where dating." He said well grinning at her.

"Well Pot...err James I don't"

"Oh I see well it will be are little secret then its more romantic that way anyways."

"Yea romantic"

"So Lils since where going to the ball together we should go to Hogsmede together tomorrow."

"Why would I want to do that?"

"So we can get are costumes"

"OOO well sorry I'm going with Andy and Katie"

"Errrr actually where going with Sirius and Remus"Katie said

"What but were supposed to go together and since when are you going with Sirius"

"Since today and well will still be together if you go with James."said Andy

"Well errr ok James I guess I'll go with you."

"Yea! I'll pick you up bright and early."James stood up and he and the other marauders left the great hall.

Oh great Lily thought to herself I get to wake up to the little jerks adorable face...wait did I just say adorable I must not be getting enough sleep.

"Well I have to go finish my potions essay Professor Slughorn assigned to us bye."said Lily well collecting her bag.

"Bye"chorused Andy and Katie.

The next day Lily had to be forced out of bed by her two friends.

"Come on Lils we know that you really like James so stop pretending."cried Katie

"Ewwww I do not like him but I guess I should get ready only because we need to get there early to get the good costumes."said Lily as she headed into the bathroom.

A few minutes later she came out in baggy jeans a t-shirt and her hair in a messy bun.

"No Lil you cant wear that if your gonna go with you should really torture him."said Andy and she flicked her wand at Lily. Lily was now wearing A super tight t-shirt with a vintage broom advertisement on it that showed her stomach with flare jeans. She also had her hair straitened and it flowed down her back. Andy and Katie had similar outfits but with different t-shirts.

"Ok well might as well get this over with"she slowly started to shuffled out of the room with Andy and Katie following behind.

"Wow you guys looks great"said Sirius as he caught sight of the girls.

"Ummm yea" said James who was rendered speechless.

"Ok well we better get going"said Remus as he grabbed Katie arm and started heading towards the portrait.

The six griffindors peter was um sick or at a death eaters meeting grrr headed towards Hogsmede and into the costume shop. After searching for what seemed to be hours they found the perfect costumes. Sirius and Andy who wanted fun costumes that showed there personality decided to be lost boys are girls in Andy's case. This went perfect with Lily and James costumes who decided to be Peter Pan and Wendy. It only took Lily the better part of an hour to tell them who Peter pan was.

Remus and Katie where going to go as a prince and princess I hate this costume idea but I couldn't think of anything else After paying for the costumes the headed over to the three broomsticks where James kindly bought them all a butterbeer and they took a seat in a corner booth.

"So what's is everyone doing for Christmas" Andy asked.

"Well Im going home but Ill probably visit prongs (an the girls now about the werewolf and animagus thing)."said Remus

"Sirius is staying with me at my house"said James "how bout you Lils"

"well Katie and I are staying with Andy" said Lily

"cool well my families holding are annual ball on news years do you guys wanna come."

"Well umm..."said Lily but Andy cut her off "We'd love to James"

"Ok I'll send an owl over break letting you know the details."

The finished there drinks in a comfortable silenced then walked back up to the school.

"I guess this wasn't that bad James is sweet and I guess I do like him" Lily admitted to herself.
