Skye, Ariel, and Emily were moving around frantically in the Girls' Dormitory looking for makeup, hair gel, etc. Lily's was supposed to meet Amos in 20 minutes, and she still didn't know what to wear! The girls were going all over the place, tearing their clothes out of their trunks to find something.

"How about this?" Emily said, holding up a shining purple dress. It was a v-neck halter dress, with light sparkle-beads down the breast.

Skye and Ariel looked to Emily, eyes in shock. "You are a genius!" Skye exclaimed.

Lily, locked up in the bathroom, called out to her friends, "Did you find anything? Hurry! I have to be there in 10 minutes!" She sounded scared, nervous, and really young.

"Here, put this on, with…these shoes…and hurry up! 7 minutes!" Skye said, thrusting the clothes and shoes in Lily's open arms when she opened the door.

One minute later, Lily, beautiful Lily, walked out of the bathroom, looking like a goddess. The three girls jumped up and down and cheered…she had never looked so beautiful. She was absolutely divine.

James looked up from his desk in the Gryffindor common room to hear the Divines squealing. He saw Lily come down, being pushed the whole way by Skye, and through the portrait hole. The Marauders stopped to watch her pass, mouths agape. James leapt from his seat, to follow her. Sirius snickered – he'd finally figured it out.

'Where is she going?' James thought. 'Oh, right. The date. Maybe I can get some information out of her…talk to her, get her to like the Potter charm.'

"Evans! Hey, Evans!" James called to Lily as she walked down the stairs to the Entrance hall.

"Yeah, what do you want?" She said, looking a James. He suddenly jumped in front of her, blocking her way down the stairs.

"Uh, yeah, where're you going? Out kind of late for someone like you, huh? Don't you have homework to get to?" Why was he being rude to her? He liked her…

"None of your business. Now get out of my way!" She didn't like him. She had seen him and his fellow Marauders trying to trick and hurt innocent people, and there was no excuse for that. She had always hated bullies, especially when they fight for no reason.

"Aw, come on. Don't you want to come back upstairs? Have a little fun of our own? You, me…"

"Stop there, Potter. I don't want to talk to you." She ran off quickly to find Amos.

"Damn you, Potter. You'll never learn." James started to head back up the stairs when he saw Skye smiling in a "you like her" kind of way. He kept his head down, pushing her out of the way while he passed.

"Lily! Hey! Are you ready to go?" Amos found Lily sprinting down the stairs.

"Yes, I'm so s-sorry I was l-late, Potter got in m-my way." Lily stuttered. She really needed to work on that.

"It's nothing. Let's go!" He took her arm, and they walked out to enjoy a nice walk by the lake.

"TELL US ALL ABOUT IT!" Skye exclaimed as Lily returned. She filled in all of the details, about the walk, the holding hands, and in the end, the kiss. Just a small one. But he asked her to be his girlfriend, and she said yes! Lily had a boyfriend, and she wouldn't be that happy for a long, long time.
