OH WOW! I'm SO sick of seeing pink, you have no idea. It makes it worse that I work in the office at school, and that everybody delivered their gifts to everyone else there, so it was more packed than a bloody flower shop! I have to admit that it smelled good, I mean there were only about 200 roses…… Ok well sorry I didn't update sooner, hopefully this will be the end, so I 'm proud of myself for actually finishing it on Valentines day...
"Why me?" Lily asked Marie who was sitting next to her, then hit her forehead against the table top. Marie just laughed.
"Hello Lily," James said as he sat down next to Lily even though there was hardly any room to, while Sirius sat down next to Tiffany, and Remus and Peter pulled up chairs from a table. Lily grunted and turned to Marie.
"How are you Marie? Haven't really talked to you today."
"Oh I'm just peachy listening to my friends fight over the true reasons of Valentines Day," Marie replied giving her a mock dirty look.
"Help," Lily mouthed desperately back.
"No, I do believe I won't," Marie replied smirking.
"Some friend you are…."
"Lily? I believe your not-so-secret admirer has something to say," Remus said from his chair next to Sirius. Lily pointed to Remus, then threatened, "If you say something else like that, I'll make you go on patrol alone tonight."
"Oh don't worry then, we'll go with him to keep him company," Sirius said putting his arm around Tiffany, who immediately swatted it off, then hit him upside the head.
Lily took a deep breath and turned to James with a fake smile, "Yes?"
"Your hair is red,
Your purse is blue,
and my love for you,
is ever more true," James replied grinning like an idiot.
"Are you serious?" she asked, staring at him incredulously.
"Actually, I'm Siri-" Sirius started to say, but was interrupted by Tiffany hitting him upside the head again, "Ow! Will you quit doing that?"
"Fine! If that's the way you want to do it,
"My purse is not blue,
my purse is white.
And if I were you,
I'd think better of giving me that," she replied as he took something out of his pocket.
"At least find out what it is first," muttered Marie in Lily's ear.
"I've heard that no girl can refuse jewelry…." James said smirking and holding a jewelry box.
"Soft spot!" Tiffany yelled and pointed at Lily from across the table.
"Ha! You finally found her weakness!" Sirius said laughing. Lily bit her lip as James opened the box to show her the beautiful, gemstone, star shaped necklace.
"Is that topaz?" she asked, before she could stop herself.
"And sterling silver. All yours for the small price of going out with me."
"Uh UH! No way!" she said without taking her eyes off the necklace.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
And I can't live another
day without you," James replied scooting closer to her in the booth as she scooted towards Marie as far as she could.
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
If you don't back off,
I'll have to hurt you!" Lily responded quickly, picking up her wand.
James froze, stood up, and just walked away, not even looking back, the other three following.
"Bye ladies," Remus said as he put his and Peter's chairs back.
"Bye Remus, have a nice day!" said Lisa happily.
"Did he just give up? James Potter just gave up on me? Lily Evans?"
"I think he did! Wow!" said Marie in shock, "Now scoot back over, the wall is stone and cold, remember?"
Lily was about to lay down and go to sleep when something in her purse caught her eye. She grabbed her purse, got into bed, and pulled the curtains shut around her just in case her friends woke up.
"What is this?" she muttered as she pulled the light blue envelope out of the purse. It had a small royal blue star on the front of it. She opened it up, and took out the paper inside of it. A small ring fell out of the paper as she opened it. She picked it up, but looked at the paper before examining it.

Sorry, Sirius wrote down the holiday's this year, he went a little overboard with the food days and names. Hope you like the ring.
-James
She looked at the ring after skimming through the holidays not really reading them, then reading James's note. It looked like it matched the necklace he tried to bribe her with. In the inside of the band it read: 'Happy Starlover Day! 3-27-86'.
"What?" she said a little to loud then went back and read the list again.
"I guess I have to admit that that's sweet of him," she muttered darkly, as she tried to push the voice out of her head that said he was becoming not as self centered. She reached out of her curtains surrounding her bed for her jewelry box, grabbed a charm less necklace out of it, slipped the ring onto it, put it around her neck, and slipped it underneath her nightgown and fell asleep. She fell asleep thinking about James, not knowing in that a year's time on starlover day, she would have to tell James about Alyssa.
Ok that last sentence is pretty much for those who have read tlp and tfp. Hope you liked my story!
Anti-Valentines day until offered gifts. I consider reviews gifts. They're much less fattening than chocolate.
