Planning

Lily was sitting in the common room on a couch near the fire and reading.

James walked in.

The redhead looked up to see who just entered, when she started glaring at the young boy.

Feeling someone's eyes on him, he looked to see a pair of eyes staring angrily at him. James sighed and held his hands up in surrender. He walked over to the farthest couch from Lily and sat down staring into space. James had just read about a death eater attack killing two aurors near his house. He hoped they weren't his parents.

"Do you ever worry about your parents dying in a death eater attack?" James asked staring up at the ceiling.

Lily looked at him skeptically. She wasn't sure if he was talking to himself or her.

"Evans?" James asked turning his head to Lily.

"Yes." She said slowly a little taken aback at the way he was talking.

The raven-haired boy stared at Lily for a couple more seconds then got up and left the room.

Seconds later, Tori came rushing in.

"Lily!" Tori yelled running towards her.

"What?" Lily asked, once again disrupted from her book.

"James! Death eater attack! Parents!" Tori said panting.

Lily got worried.

"He went up to his dorm." She said watching Tori sprint up the stairs.

Lily followed her up, curious and worried.

James, hearing what was being said downstairs, shot up from his bed where he was lying. Tori had just entered the room and ran over to James.

"What happened to my parents!" James asked (or yelled) grabbing Tori's shoulders.

"They weren't killed. They were shopping in Diagon Alley. They're still alive." Tori said smiling.

James sighed in relief.

"Jeez woman, you scared the hell out of me! You acted as if they were killed in the attack!" he said putting his hand to his head.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing too." Lily said coming out from behind Tori.

"Sorry, I thought James was going to commit suicide or something. Actually we all thought that when we saw your face after reading about that. So I wanted to stop you before it was too late." Tori said turning red with embarrassment.

Sirius and Remus came running up the stairs to the dorm.

"PRONGS! MATE! Don't kill yourself! I have good news! Please don't commit suicide! Your parents are—"

"He knows. I told him already." Tori said cutting Sirius off.

"Oh." Sirius said sheepishly.

"How did you get all the way up here? You were just behind us." Remus said looking behind him.

"I have my ways." Tori said grinning and walking out the boy's dorm, followed by Lily.

"I don't want to and you can't make me!" Lily yelled like a five year old.

Kate was dragging her downstairs to meet up with Remus, James, Sirius, Peter, Megan, Frank, and Alice. They were all going to plan Tori's birthday, which was in two days. Lily would normally go but she knew they were going to do something about her and James. They do that every year and each year, she's fallen for it. But not this time.

"Lily, you will come down whether you like it or not! If you don't Ryan will somehow find out about your dream." Kate said grinning evilly.

"Fine. And it's Brian! With a B!" Lily yelled stomping her feet as loud as possible.

"Whatever." Kate muttered walking towards the sofa.

Once again, Lily fell for it. They had somehow managed to give Lily and James the sofa that only fits two people (think it's called a love seat). Kate, Remus, Megan, and Sirius were sitting on the sofa across from them. Sirius had scooted to the far end of the sofa, scared of Megan and her glares. If looks could kill…

Alice and Frank took the ground and Peter took the armchair.

"What should we do for her birthday?" James asked.

"Why is it always so hard to figure out what we should do for her birthday?" Alice asked.

"She's the Queen of Pickiness, remember?" Lily said.

"Oooooh yeah." Alice said.

"I say we throw a party at Three Broomsticks. She's friends with more than half the school, we can just invite everybody." Sirius said.

"But how will we fit all the students in there?" Kate asked.

"Well, if you take out the Slytherins, and the blonde bimbos that she hates, they should all be able to fit. I don't recall seeing anyone extremely fat at Hogwarts." Frank said looking at everyone.

"You know, they'll need to be able to breathe and maybe some room to dance. We are going to have a wizard DJ there right?" Lily asked.

"Evans's right. I think we should just narrow it down a bit." James said looking at Lily.

"There are such things as wizard DJs?" Peter asked curiously.

"Well, yeah I guess. How else do teenage wizards and witches have dances?" Megan said.

"But that would be mean. I mean people do come to Three Broomsticks and if they see a party going on there…well you know." Remus said.

They all sighed. This was going to be impossible.

The next day, Friday, everyone was at Hogsmeade. Sirius had sent out invitations to everybody nice in Hogwarts and told them to meet him at the front of Three Broomsticks.

Sirius was going to see how many people he could fit in there without having anyone suffocate and make sure there was enough room to dance and relax.

Though the girls disagreed with this idea, the guys thought it was great.

They found out a way to have Tori and Chris spend the whole day inside Hogwarts. Tori got 90 galleons richer in this process.

"The school year is almost over." Tori said looking at the ground.

"Can you believe that tomorrow would be our one year anniversary." Chris said.

"Wow! Oh my gosh! I don't have anything! I can't believe I let them pay me to stay out of Hogsmeade." Tori said.

"It's okay. I don't want you to give me anything." Chris said quietly.

"Why?" Tori asked looking slightly concerned.

"Just knowing that you've stayed with me for a year is good enough." Chris said smiling.

"Alright people! Single file now!" Sirius was yelling at the crowd trying to see how many people he could fit.

A couple hours later, he finally got it.

"Hey guys! Guess what! Guess what!" Sirius said running to his friends.

"What?" They asked.

"I could fit everyone and we had enough room to dance and relax." The teenager said smiling proudly.

"I guess removing some of the tables really did work." Lily said looking thoughtful.

"Evans?" James asked looking at the pretty redhead.

"What Potter?" Lily asked annoyed.

I haven't even asked her yet and she's already getting annoyed! James thought.

"Will you go out with me?"

"No."

I finally got to chapter 10! I'm not sure what's going to happen next and if you have any ideas please tell me! Please review!
