"Lily's looking at you," Sirius whispered with a knowing smile. I whipped my head up from the book I was reading.
"She is?" I asked excitedly. She wasn't. However, I caught her eye and winked. Lily just shook her head and returned to her potions homework. I scribbled a note and threw it at her beautiful head. She turned around in her chair and glared at me from a table across the library.
She took the ball of wrinkled paper I had thrown at her and smoothed it out, being careful not to rip it.
Will you go out with me?
-James
I had written. Her friend looked over her shoulder and laughed quietly.
"Say Yes!" I thought.
She chucked it at my head and enjoyed the face I made when I read it.
NO
-LILY
"Why?" I mouthed.
"Because you're a prat!" she hissed. Sirius Black, my best friend along with Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, laughed at my look of disappointment.
I buried my face in my hands. Why did she hate me? Maybe her dislike of me makes me like her. Why do I like her? Then I looked over at Lily. She was laughing about something with her friend and her whole face lit up. Oh yeah, that's why I like her! Then she scowled at me and mouthed the word dolt.
I sighed. It was going to take a lot of work to get her to go out with me.
"Whatever it takes. I'll do it. Whatever it takes," I muttered determinedly to myself.
Lily's crimson hair shone in the warm light and I knew. I'd do whatever it takes.
The End
