One word: REVIEW! (I changed something in the chapter…the Harry thing…you'll see it in the flashback)
Unusual Morning
"Aw the firsties look so cute!" Kate said smiling.
"I know! I swear they get shorter every year." Tori said.
The hat song finished and Dumbledore gave his usual speech.
Food appeared and everyone dug in.
"Peter, please eat with your mouth SHUT!" Lily said disgusted.
"Borry" Peter managed to say spitting bits of food everywhere.
"Don't talk with food in your mouth!" Kate said.
Peter's mouth snapped shut immediately.
"Elbows off the table!" Tori said teasingly.
"Too many rules." Peter complained after he finished eating.
"Lily we need to go to Dumbledore's office." James said getting up.
"Right behind you." Lily said following him out of the Great Hall.
"They have to share a common with two separate bedrooms. Their rooms are HUGE!" Tori said smiling.
"How do you know? We're not supposed to know that." Kate said.
"In fifth year, I dated the Head Boy. Plus being friends with the marauders has some advantages." Tori replied.
"Ah yes you are correct. But being a marauder's girlfriend has even better advantages." Kate said smiling as she and Remus walked out the same way the Heads did.
Tori stuck her tongue out at them.
She turned back around to face Peter and Sirius eating viciously.
"Alice! Frank!" She called looking for them.
"Ah Lily Evans and James Potter finally the Head Boy and Girl. Lemon drop?" Dumbledore said.
"No thank you." Both replied.
"You will get to share a common room and have to separate bedrooms not in the Gryffindor Tower. I hope you guys don't mind." He said with that usual sparkle in his eyes.
Of course I mind! Living with him for 6 years with all other Gryffindors was a pain in the neck but now living with him ALONE! Lily thought.
"I don't mind." She said politely.
"Ditto." James said putting his hands in his pocket.
Dumbledore took them through many hallways when they finally reached a frame with two short knights fighting each other.
At the sight of the headmaster, they stopped, stood up straight, took off their helmets and then bowed.
"Birdy—" said the brown haired knight.
"And Yirdy—" said the blonde one.
"At your—"
"Service."
Lily giggled.
"You guys can make up your own password. I'll leave you two at it. I'm sure you can figure out the rest. You aren't first years anymore. Everything in there is made to your satisfaction." Dumbledore said and left.
James opened his mouth.
"Don't even think about it." Lily said warningly.
James opened his mouth again.
Lily glared at him.
She knew what he was thinking. She didn't want the password to be James is sexy or anything like that.
They spent over 45 minutes arguing over what should be the password when they finally came to a conclusion.
Nobody would ever guess it.
I bet you wouldn't either.
It was: Pig Latin.
After they decided on the password, it took Lily and James another 15 minutes to get into their new home, for the twin knights always had something to argue or talk about.
Lily finally entered their new common room and gasped.
"Wow." She said.
"Double wow." James said after her.
"It's…beautiful." Lily said staring at the glass stained ceiling with awe.
The sofas and everything had been placed just like the Gryffindor common room, but everything was just so much bigger and, in James's term, cooler.
Lily took the right flight of stairs. She walked up to a warm brown mahogany door, which had the name Lily Evans engraved in it.
She opened the door and her mouth flew open. Dumbledore was right.
Her bags were already there sitting beside a bookshelf in the far right corner full of books she loved. The color of the room was a soft light green. Her bed was huge. It was red with large lilies on it. Even the curtains matched her bed.
Her night table and dresser had pictures of all her friends. There was one of her and Tori when they first met. Another one of Tori and Kate at the pool. In another picture, Kate was jumping around on a trampoline. Then she had one of the marauders. She knew she had to remember them. They were waving and blowing kisses. And the last one on her night table was one of her and James yelling at each other. Tori had taken it and forced her to keep it.
On the dresser, there was one of Frank hiding behind a statue, while Alice was asking Lily where he was. There was another picture of Tori and Sirius holding hands, walking and waving. And there was even one of Remus and Kate cuddled together by the fire.
She opened the curtains and her jaw dropped. Lily had the perfect view of the lake. She smiled inwardly. Lily knew all that hard work for the past six years was REALLY worth it.
She decided to go see James's room. When she got there, he was still standing at the door, his jaw almost touching the ground.
When Lily looked in she almost laugh. Typical James Potter. She thought.
The room was identical to hers in length and width. His walls were of a rich red color with gold curtains. His bed was sky blue with clouds and snitches. His wall was covered in quidditch posters.
Lily walked over to his night table to look at his pictures.
He had three of Lily actually smiling and four of her yelling. He had one of him and Tori when they were five. He had another one of Sirius diving into a pool, bringing Tori down with him. James had one of all the marauders and one of Tori, Kate, and Lily. He had a picture of Frank, the time he decided to dye his hair blue.
There was one with him, Sirius and Tori playing quidditch. And the last one was a picture of Peter with a scary monster mask on and Remus falling out of his chair.
She looked over to the other night table and saw one with Sirius lying in the middle of the girl's dorm covered in green slime. And another picture had Sirius covered in feathers by the boy's bathroom. (Remember those?)
Lily looked back at the door, but James wasn't there.
"James?" She called out.
"I'm in here!" He said, answering from Lily's room.
She went back to her room.
"You actually have one of me and you." James said smiling and pointing at a picture.
"Oh yeah Tori took that one. Let's check out the bathrooms." She said.
They walked into the only bathroom there was.
"Look at the size of this bathtub!" James exclaimed.
"Everything is so…grand in here." Lily said.
Suddenly there was a knocking.
"Two lovely ladies—" Birdy said.
"And three gentlemen—" Yirdy said.
"Would like to—" Birdy said.
"See you." Yirdy finished. (Do you get how they keep switching off sorta like twins do while talking?)
"Let them in Birdy and Yirdy." Lily said.
Tori was first to walk in.
"Are their names really Birdy and Yirdy?" Tori asked.
"Our parents'—"
"Names were—"
"Girdy and—"
"Firdy."
"Yeah and your sisters' names were Mirdy and Lirdy." Remus said sarcastically.
"How did—"
"You know?" The knights asked.
Remus stared at them in shock.
"Lucky guess." He finally said shrugging.
"Tori, Kate you have to see my room!" Lily said and took them upstairs to her room.
"Yeah about that. How's your room?" Sirius asked.
"Go find out." James said smiling.
"Wow!" Kate said looking around.
"Whoa your bed is HUGE!" Tori said collapsing onto the bed.
"You guys HAVE to come and spend the night here! Look at the view!" Lily said opening up her red curtains.
"It's gorgeous." Kate stared at it wide eyed.
"How is James's?" Tori asked.
"Typical James Potter." Lily said.
"I gotta see this." Tori said running down the stairs and up the other flight.
"Wow you are so lucky James." Tori said walking in.
"Check out the bed Tori! It's so…bouncy!" Sirius said sitting and bouncing on the bed.
"I know!" Tori said climbing onto the bed.
"Love the pictures mate." Sirius said looking at the ones with him that were taken recently.
"Oh I just had to keep those. For memory sake." James said.
An hour passed and Lily and James were left alone.
Lily yawned.
"I gotta go to bed. Tomorrow we start classes. Goodnight James." Lily said rubbing her eyes and walking up her stairs.
James watched her go up.
"Night Lily." He said softly and went to his bed.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Lily sat in her bed thinking.
She rolled over and opened up an old, rusty book with torn pages. The book was called A Journey Within written by Angelina Tortina.
Tori's mother had given it to her in their fifth year for Christmas. At first, Lily thought it was kind of stupid. It was about a boy, madly in love with this girl who absolutely hated him (sound familiar?). Lily didn't see why this stupid girl was so mean to the guy when he was really in love with her.
The day before, she had opened it up after two years. Lily started reading where she left off and soon found out she loved the book.
She was now at the end of chapter twenty six. The girl, Riley, had finally agreed to go on date with Greg, the boy she hated for years. Riley had thought about it the night before, and seeing as she may never see Greg again, she may as well get it over with.
Lily sighed and put her book down. It was already 12:24 am. She pulled her blanket over her and closed her eyes. In a matter of minutes, she was fast asleep in her little dreamland.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Kate awoke that morning to Tori's singing.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up.
"Tori!" she whined. "It's bloody 7 in the morning!" Kate said.
"I know!" Tori said in the same tone as Kate.
"Why are you up so early? Especially since you hate mornings." Kate said.
"Well this is my last year here. And for the past six years I've never woken up early on the first day." Tori explained.
"Yeah but you never wake up early any day!" Alice said.
"So does that mean you're going to wake up early everyday?" Kate asked.
"Kate, Tori wouldn't be able to wake up early everyday for a week even if her life depended on it." Alice said smiling.
"That is not true!" Tori said crossing her arms.
Alice raised her eyebrows.
"Okay fine it is true." Tori said finally giving in.
"Morning!" Lily said popping into the seventh year girl's dorm.
"Oh my gosh! Lily I thought you were a guy!" Tori said coming out from her hiding place, which would be behind the dresser.
"Great, I'm being compared to a boy. What next? A tree? Or maybe a frog." Lily said sarcastically.
But Tori wasn't listening. She was too busy staring in horror as a little black spider made its way down the wall.
"Sp…sp…spider!" She yelled and jumped onto the bed closest to her.
"Aw it's so cute! Come here you wittle spidey widey." Kate said cooing the spider.
Lily made a disgusted face.
"Kill it!" Tori shrieked.
"No it's just a baby spider!" Kate said.
"Kill it before it—"
The spider crawled under the dresser.
"Gets out of reach." Tori finished her sentence quietly.
"Oh too late." Kate said happily.
Tori scowled.
She took seven large books from Kate's bed.
"What are you doing?" Kate asked.
Tori didn't answer. Instead, she took each book at a time and started covering up all the entrances to underneath the dresser.
"Hey that's my Ancient Ruins book! I need that!" Kate said grabbing one of the books on the ground.
"No! It's going to escape!" Tori said making a dash for that book.
"It's going to die in there!" Kate argued.
"That's the whole point!" Tori said finally getting a good grasp on the thick book and grabbed it. She then put it back where it was, trapping the poor spider.
Tori got up and dusted her hands.
At that moment the bathroom door opened, and Alice walked, steam coming everywhere.
She took a moment to study her surrounding.
Lily was holding onto a bedpost for support, she was laughing so hard.
Kate had her hands on her hips and was glaring at Tori.
And Tori was staring cautiously at the dresser.
Alice's eyes shifted towards the bottom of the dresser. There she could see books standing near it, coving up all the open spaces in which a tiny creature could enter through.
She looked at the four elements a couple times when she finally came to a conclusion.
"Let me guess. A spider under the dresser?"
At this, Lily had a sudden burst of laughter.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
FLASHBACK
"I'm so nervous!" Lily said as she walked down to the Great Hall to take the OWLS.
"It's okay. I'm sure you'll do fine." Tori said.
"This exam basically tells where you are placed in the wizarding world!"
"Not really. It just tells you where you are placed in each class." Kate said.
Lily glared at her.
They sat down in their assigned seat. And the exam began.
(This is from the fifth book…I needed to put this somewhere in my story. I tried to change it as much as I could…but some things just couldn't be changed.))
The four house tables were gone. Instead there were more than a hundred smaller tables, all facing the same way, at each of which sat a student, head bent low, scribbling on a roll of parchment. The only sound was the scratching of quills and the occasional rustle as somebody adjusted their parchment.
Sunshine was streaming through the high windows onto the bent heads, which shone chestnut and copper and gold in the bright light.
Severus Snape was sitting in the fifth column, four rows down. He had a stringy, pallid look about him, like a plant kept in the dark. His hair was lank and greasy and was flopping onto the tables, his hooked nose barely half an inch from the surface of the parchment as he scribbled.
He was taking the Defense Against the Dark Arts part. His hand was flying across the parchment; he had written at least a foot more than his closest neighbors, Kate and Tori, yet his writing was minuscule and cramped.
Half the students suddenly jumped when a voice was heard throughout the walls saying "Five more minutes!"
James's grin got wider as he got closer and closer to finishing his exam. Professor Flitwick walked passed him, looking at his work.
He was straightening up now, putting down his quill, pulling his roll of parchment toward him so as to reread what he had written.
James yawned hugely and rumpled up his hair, making it even messier than it had been. Then, with a glance toward Professor Flitwick, he turned in his seat and grinned at a boy sitting four seats behind him.
Can you guess who that was?
Sirius smiled and gave him the thumbs up.
He was lounging in his chair at his ease, tilting it back on two legs. Emily was sitting behind him, eyeing him hopefully.
Two seats next to Emily was Remus. He looked rather pale and peaky and was absorbed in the exam. He reread his answers and scratched his chin with the end of his quill, frowning slightly.
Peter looked anxious, chewing his fingernails, his chubby face staring down at his paper, scuffing the ground with his toes. Every now and then he glanced hopefully at his neighbor's paper. James, who was now doodling on a bit of scrap parchment, had drawn a snitch and was now tracing the letters L.E. (sorry…I accidentally said Harry in this…but it's kind of hard when you're trying to rewrite what J.K Rowling wrote. Please forgive me doing the little lip thing)
"Quills down, please!" squeaked Professor Flitwick. "That means you too, Stebbins! Please remain seated while I collect your parchment! Accio!"
More than a hundred rolls of parchment zoomed into the air into Professor Flitwick's outstretched arms, knocking him backward off his feet. Several people laughed, including the marauders. A couple of students at the front desks got up, took hold of Professor Flitwick beneath the elbows, and lifted him onto his feet again.
"Thank you…thank you." Panted Professor Flitwick. "Very well, everybody, you're free to go!"
James quickly scratched out Lily's initials, jumped to his feet, stuffed his quill and the exam question paper into his bag, which he slung over his back, and stood waiting for Sirius to join him.
Snape wasn't too far away, still absorbed in his own examination paper. Round-shouldered yet angular, he walked in a twitchy manner that recalled a spider, his oily hair swinging about his face.
Tori, Kate, Alice, Lily and some of their friends separated Snape from the marauders. He was trying to listen in on what the boys were saying.
"Did you like question ten, Moony?" asked Sirius as they emerged into the entrance hall.
"Loved it!" Said Lupin briskly. "Give five signs that identify the werewolf. Excellent question." He said smiling.
"D'you think you managed to get all the signs?" James asked in a tone of mock concern.
"Think I did." Said Lupin seriously, as they joined the crowd thronging around the front doors eager to get out into the sunlit grounds.
"One: He's sitting on my chair. Two: He's wearing my clothes. Three: His name's Remus Lupin…"
Everyone but Peter laughed.
"I got the snout shape, the pupils of the eyes, and the tufted tail but I couldn't think of what else—"
"How thick are you Wormtail?" James asked. "You run round with a werewolf once a month—"
"Keep your voice down." Remus said in a hushed voice.
Snape followed the marauders toward the lake, still immersed in his paper.
"Well I thought the paper was a piece of cake. I'll be surprised if I don't get Outstanding on it at least." Sirius said.
"Me too." James said taking a snitch out of his pocket.
"Where did you get that?" Peter asked in awe as James started playing with it.
"Nicked it." James said casually.
The four sat down in the shade of a nice beech tree near the lake.
Snape had sat down near by, still observing his OWLS paper.
The girls had taken off their shoes and socks and were now dipping their feet in the water.
Remus had pulled out a book and was reading. Sirius stared around at the students milling over the grass, looking rather haughty and bored, but very handsomely so. James was still playing with the Snitch, letting it zoom farther and farther away, almost escaping but always grabbed at the last second, Peter still staring at him with his mouth open.
Every time James made a particularly difficult catch, Peter would applaud, James enjoying every second of the attention.
James kept staring at a certain redhead dipping her feet in the water with a good friend of his.
"Put that away will you? Before Wormtail wets himself from excitement." Sirius said finally.
Peter blushed.
"If it bothers you." James said grinning as he put his snitch away.
"I'm bored. Wish it was full moon." Sirius said after a pause.
"You might. We've still got Transfiguration. If you're bored you could test me…here." Remus said handing the book over to Sirius.
Sirius snorted. "I don't need to look at that rubbish. I know it all."
"This'll liven you up Padfoot. Look who it is…" James said.
Sirius's head turned. He had become very still, like a dog that has scented a rabbit.
"Excellent." He said softly. "Snivellus."
Severus got up and stuffed the paper back into his bag.
Sirius and James got up at the same time Snape did. Remus and Peter remained sitting, Remus with a frown and Peter with a look of avid anticipation.
"All right Snivellus?" James asked loudly.
The greasy haired boy reacted so fast it was as though he had been expecting this sudden attack. He dropped his bag, plunged his hand inside his robes, and his wand was halfway into the air when James shouted, "Expelliarmus!"
The Slytherin's wand flew twelve feet into the air and fell with a little thud in the grass behind him. Sirius let out a bark of laughter.
"Impedimenta!" He shouted pointing his wand at Snape who was knocked off his feet, halfway through a dive toward his own fallen wand.
Everyone was now watching.
Snape lay on the ground. Peter had now gotten up with all the excitement.
"How'd the exam go Snivelly?" James asked.
"I was watching him, his nose was touching the parchment. There'll be great grease marks all over it, they won't be able to read a word." Sirius said smirking.
Many people laughed. Snape was struggling as though bound together by invisible ropes.
"You— wait. You— wait." Severus panted.
"Wait for what? What're you going to do Snivelly, wipe your nose on us?" Sirius said laughing.
Snape said a string of swearwords and hexes, though nothing happened.
"Wash out your mouth. Scourgify!" James said.
Pink soap bubbles streamed from Snape's mouth at once, making him gag and chocking him.
"Leave him ALONE!"
James and Sirius looked around. Once again, James's free hand jumped to his hair.
"All right Evans?" James asked, his tone sounding more mature.
"Leave him alone. What's he done to you?" Lily stared at him with pure hatred.
"Well, it's more the fact that he exists, if you know what I mean…" James said smiling.
People laughed again except for Remus and Lily.
"You think you're funny. But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag Potter. Leave him alone." Lily said again.
"I will if you go out with me Evans. Go on…go out with me and I'll never lay a wand on old snivelly again." James said.
Behind him, the Impediment Jinx was wearing off. Snape started inching toward his wand…
"I wouldn't go out with you if it was a choice between you and the giant squid." Lily said.
"Bad luck Prongs." Sirius said turning back to Snape.
"OY!" He yelled.
But it was too late. Snape shot something and there was a flash of light. A gash had appeared on the side of James's face, spattering his robes with blood. Tori and Kate gasped along with many other girls.
James whirled around and a second later, Snape was hanging upside down in the air, his robes falling over his head to reveal skinny, pallid legs and a pair of gray underpants.
Many people cheered, but the marauders, excluding the wise one, roared with laughter.
Lily looked like she was about to smile but suddenly stopped herself.
"Let him down!" She yelled.
"Certainly." James said gracefully and jerked his wand upward, Snape fell and quickly got to his feet, but Sirius was even quicker.
"Locomotor mortis!" He said and Snape was keeled over, rigid as a board.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" Lily shouted. She even had her wand out. James and Sirius eyed it warily.
"Ah Evans don't make me hex you." James said.
"Take the curse off him them!"
James sighed then muttered the coutercurse.
"There you go. You're lucky Evans was here Snivellus—"
"I don't need help from filthy little mudbloods like her!" Snape yelled.
Lily blinked.
"Fine I won't bother in future. And I'd wash your pants if I were you Snivellus." Lily said coolly.
"Apologize to Evans!" James roared, pointing his wand at Snape.
"I don't want you to make him apologize. You're just as bad as he is…" Lily said.
"What? I'd NEVER call you a— you- know- what!" James said.
"Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone whoa annoys you just because you can— I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK."
She turned around and walked off.
"Evans! Hey, EVANS!" James shouted after her but she didn't look back.
"What is with her?" James asked.
"Reading between the lines I'd say she thinks you're a bit conceited mate." Sirius pointed out.
"Right." Said James who looked furious now. "Right."
There was another flash of light and Snape was once again hanging upside down in the air.
"Who wants to see me take off Snivelly's pants?"
END OF FLASHBACK
(Sorry I just had to put that in here. Most of this was J. K. Rowling's writing so I don't own any thing in the section of the chapter except for Tori, Kate, and Emily.)
From Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix, pages 640 to 649
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Once again Lily and her friends were sitting outside right under that exact same tree.
And once again, James and his friends were messing around with Snape.
"Don't ever use that word again Snivellus. Or I'll have to wash your mouth again. 20 points from Slytherin." James said smiling.
Sirius had turned his robes pink and James used the jelly legs jinx on him.
"I'm still trying to figure out why Professor Dumbledore assigned you Head Boy and not Remus, sitting quietly and reading." Lily said walking up to James.
"He called someone that…that…word!" James replied.
"But you don't use violence to resolve ANYTHING!" Lily said.
"You are so stupid you know that?" She said again.
"Really?" James asked crossing his arms.
"Yes!"
"And arrogant?" James asked again.
"Yes!"
"And a pig head?"
"Yes!"
"And an idiot?"
"Yes!"
"And a prat?"
"Yes!"
"And you'll go on a date with me?" James asked quickly.
"Yes!"
"You will?" James looked shocked.
"Will what?" Lily asked confused.
"Go on a date with me."
"No…" Lily said staring at him oddly.
"Lily you said yes." Kate said.
"But I didn't mean it. He tricked me…again." Lily said getting angry.
"But you still said it." Remus said now looking up from his book.
"But I didn't mean it."
"But you said it."
"But I didn't mean it."
"But you said it."
Lily glared at him and walked off.
"Hey Lily are we going out or not?"
But Lily didn't answer.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Lily was walking towards the girl's staircase when someone caught her hand.
Someone she really would prefer to stay out of her life.
James Potter.
"What now Potter?" Lily asked fuming.
"So now we're back to last names?" James asked just as furious as she was.
"Yes."
"Okay Evans. Why won't you go on that date with me? You said yes." James said.
"First of all I didn't mean it. You had tricked me into saying yes. Secondly, I would rather date Snape than you." Lily said, her eyes flashing again.
Sirius was walking down the boy's stairs when he saw the two lovebirds fighting. He went over to watch them.
"Can you believe she just said that?" James exclaimed.
"Well, Lily did you say that?" Sirius asked seriously.
"Yes I did." Lily replied.
"Then yes Prongs, I do believe she just said that." Sirius said smiling.
"Let me go Potter." Lily said getting out of his grasp and running up the stairs.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"I can't believe he did that." Lily kept repeating, sitting angrily on Tori's bed.
Tori walked in talking to Alice.
"Whoa what's wrong?" She asked sitting next to Lily.
"He made me say yes to go out on a date with him." Lily said. She didn't need to specify who the "he" was.
"How does someone make you do that?" Alice asked.
"He tricked me." She said.
"So are you going?" Tori asked.
"What do you think?" Lily snapped.
Tori sighed.
"So you don't want to know what it's like to finally go out on a date with one of Hogwarts's hottest guys?"
Lily didn't answer.
"Lily think about it. I mean then you can go and tell your kids that you actually went on a date with the famous James Potter. They'll love you forever. Especially if they're girls." Tori said.
"They'll love me no matter what. I'm their mother." Lily said.
"Okay fine. But think about it. This is our last year at Hogwarts. Half the people we know, we'll probably never see again—"
"I doubt I won't be seeing him."
"Yeah but if he dies? He is a big target you know."
"So now I'm going on a date with him so I can get over with it before he dies?" Lily was outraged.
"No! Lily you aren't thinking straight! Imagine never seeing his messy raven black hair ever again. Or never seeing him mess it even more with his hand whenever he's nervous. You'll never be able to see his stupid lopsided smile. He won't chase you around like a lost puppy, asking you out nonstop."
"I think I might like not having the last one." Lily said.
"You'll miss it. Trust me. You'll miss yelling at him for no reason at all and that little fights you guys have all the time and then forgetting about what you were even fighting about in the first place. He's only safe for a year. The rest he's on his own. Plus if he marries someone else, or starts dating someone else…I doubt he'll be chasing you anymore. Lily he's done his job and he did it for 6 years! Not even for a second have you helped him. One second! And he's been trying for six years!" Tori said.
"Tori you're getting way too dramatic." Alice said.
"Yes but it's true. Just don't tell anyone what I said. It's kinda embarrassing." Tori said sheepishly.
"The things people do for their friends." Lily said sarcastically.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Oh look it's Evans." James said as Lily came down the same stairs he had watched her walk up not too long ago.
"Shut up." Lily said sitting next to him on the sofa.
"When?" She asked.
James looked confused.
"When what?" He asked.
"When is the date?" Lily asked irritated.
James looked like Christmas had come early and was his birthday was everyday, though he tried, unsuccessfully, to hide it.
"Really?" He asked excited.
"Just tell me when before I change my mind." Lily said sternly.
"I'll pick you up Saturday, 5 pm in the common room and we'll go to Hogsmeade." James said quickly.
"Gotcha." Lily said and went back up.
James walked—no ran—up to his dorm where his friends were.
"Lily…me… Hogsmeade!" He panted.
"You got the date?" Sirius asked hopefully.
James nodded.
"Alright mate! Where are you taking her? What are you guys going to do?" He asked.
James's smile dropped.
"Nice." Remus said shaking his head.
Okay the date will be next chapter! But their relationship won't be as smooth as you think it is…you'll see what I mean in the later chapters. I won't update till I get more than 13 reviews! So you better review!
