chello! Sorry it took me so long I had it typed up the day after last update but my stupid computer decided that it didn't want to work! grrrrr! Anyway...here's the new chapter, the next 1 mite take a bit of time but I'll try to do it afap (as fast as possible).

DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the spectacular characters the mastermind J.K. Rowling created in the magnificent Harry Potter series!

Steven looked at Lily. She looked beautiful. The top of her light blue jeans were covered by the bottom of her emerald green top which matched her eyes perfectly. She also had a dark green jacket which went down to the top of her stomach. As usual she didn't have any make up on but for a change she had her hair down.

"Lily, you look…stunning" he complimented.

"So do you" Lily replied on instinct. She paused feeling her cheeks redden. "but… in a… more manly way" Steve smiled.

"So I was thinking we order 2 butterbeers to warm us up. Then there's somewhere special I want to take you.

"Sounds great"

James Potter, Sirius Balck and Peter Pettigrew waited at the window for their moment of sabotage.

"Are you sure we won't get caught?"

"Getting cold feet are you Wormtail?" Sirius joked

"No, I just…" Peter trailed off

"okay, here's our chance" James said concentrating very hard on the scene. "They're ordering so go Wormtail. Now"

A second later where Peter Pettigrew had once stoodthere was a small rat that scurried inside the bar careful not to be seen.

"Where are you taking me?" Lily asked, slightly nervous

"You'll see" Steve replied

Once they had finished their butterbeers at the Three Broomsticks Steve, carrying a picnic basket, had lead her somewhere. To Lily, who had never been there in her life, it all just looked like grass and trees but Steve seemed to know exactly where he was going.

"Okay, we're here" Steve puffed, it was quite a walk from the Three Broomsticks.

"It's … it's beautiful" Lily stuttered. She didn't know what to say. The area looked so perfect. There was a calm and peaceful lake which sat beside a slightly small grassy space. The grass felt soft and welcoming and was a bright natural green colour.

Steve had already approached the area and had opened the picnic basket. He pulled out a rug which he spread across the ground. Lily came and sat down next to him.

"This is really nice Steve"

"Well, I'm glad you like it" Steve replied smiling.

Next Steve pulled out two glasses and two more bottles of butterbeer.

"Cheers" he said after he poured them both a butterbeer. Once they had finished he once again reached into the basket and pulled out what looked like a container of sweets. The only difference was there was a feral-looking rat on top of it. The rat launched itself onto Lily. She screamed. Steven grabbed the rat just as it was about to dive inside her top. As he picked it up with a firm grip the rat bit him, hard, causing him to start to bleed. His hand automatically let go of the rat and the rat ran towards the forest behind where they were sitting.

"Oh god (not trying to be rude to any Christians, as I am Christians myself) Steve, are you okay?" Lily asked

"Yeah, I'm fine, it just kinda stings. What about you?" Steve asked, he had noticed her hands were shaking.

"No, no, I'm fine. I just, it's stupid really, I have a phobia of rats." Lily mumbled embarrassed.

Steve smiled "Rabbits" he whispered.

"What?" Lily asked

"I am petrified of rabbits. I don't know what it is but there's something not that's not right about them. I mean, carrots why carrots? And they're feet!" Steve grinned "Don't even get me started on their feet!"

Lily grinned too. She loved how Steve seemed to be able to make everything okay again.

"Those look good" Lily said indicating the container of sweets.

Peter Pettigrew ran speedily towards the trees where James and Sirius were. He changed back to his incompetent (sorry, I really don't like Peter Pettigrew. Can you tell?) human form.

"Did it work? I heard a scream!" Peter huffed

"We just have to wait and see … ooh … I think it's working" Sirius said

"It didn't work" James mumbled

"How do you …?" Sirius begun

"I just know. Okay, she's smiling, that beautiful smile and …" James mumbled dreamily

" It doesn't matter mate, I get them" A second later a big black shaggy dog stood in front of James.

Lily laughed. Steve's face had froze over.

"vomit" he swallowed. Lily just laughed. Suddenly a huge black dog appeared. "Looks like we have a visitor" Steve said

"Hello" Lily said sweetly "Where do you live?"

Steve took a step towards the dog. The dog growled viscously. Steve stumbled back and the dog chased him. It then snapped at Steve's hand. The dog barked and barked. He ran and jumped onto Steve pushing him to the ground. Steve lay there, shocked, he had never seen anything like this, the dog seemed very angry. Lily ran and pushed the dog off Steve.

"Quick, let's get out of here!" she gasped. Steve grabbed the basket and Lily's hand they ran as fast as they could to the main street of Hogsmeade, the dog still chasing them savagely.

Lily and Steve arrived back at the Three Broomsticks once again puffing.

"Is it still chasing us?" Lily asked looking around

"No, I can't see it" Steve replied "I…I've been there so many times and I have never, ever seen that dog"

"It seemed very angry"

"Huh, and here I was thinking I was overreacting!" Steve joked.

Sirius Black smiled. He was standing around the corner from Lily and Steve and couldn't help but hear their conversation. James is going to be so happy he thought I can't wait to tell …

"Well what do you say? Give it one last shot? Do you care to join me for another butterbeer?" Sirius' smile faded. Maybe his ears were playing tricks on him but had he seriously heard Steven ask Lily out again?

"Why, Mr Stolburg, I'd say you were trying to put me off butterbeer for life by making me drink too much in too small a time!" Lily said mockingly. Steve put his hand on his head.

"No! My secret plan discovered. How ever could this have happened?" Steve replied. Lily smiled

"I would love to"

Sirius couldn't believe his ears but he knew what he must do, Suddenly James and a nervous-looking Peter emerged from the trees.

"Well?" James asked Sirius

"It didn't work" Sirius sighed. "Listen Prongs, we've petrified Lily, petrified Steve and chased them out of their picnic area; none of that has worked. It's time" Sirius said nodded

"Ti-time for wha-what?" Peter squeaked

"Time to send in the secret weapon"

Don't you just want to kill me! I'm bad!
