Chapter seven
Lily and Yvonne were walking down the corridor, talking about the girls sharing their dorm.
"Every night, it's 'James is soooo sexy!' or 'Sirius is a god!' or 'Remus is dreamy!' It's so irritating!" Fumed Yvonne.
"Yeah, I know! They each like a different guy, so why can't they just go ou-" Lily stopped talking, suddenly, as she bumped into Snape.
"Uh, Lily? Can I talk to you?"
Lily was overwhelmed by a feeling of de-ja-vu.
*Flashback* Lily and Yvonne were walking down the corridor, when the (literally) bumped into Severus Snape.
"Oh, sorry Severus," said Lily.
"That's Ok Lily. Actually, I was just looking for you."
"Really? Why?" Lily had a bad feeling about this.
"I just needed to tell you," he looked quite shocked that he was saying this. "I am absolutely head over heels in love with you," he said passionately.
"Oh. Um, err. Yer. Ah." Stuttered Lily, for once, at a complete loss for words.
"Oh, Lily! Look at the time!" Exclaimed Yvonne, coming to the rescue. "Bye Severus!"
*End flashback*
"Um, Lily." Snape turned bright red, also remembering the 'incident'. "I was wondering, would you go to the ball with me?"
"Severus, I can't!" Lily was panicking now. "You see, I'm going with." She caught sight of the marauders coming down the corridor towards them. She said, rather loudly, hoping that they would hear and play along, "I'm going to the ball with James." She sent a pleading look towards James.
James looked surprised, but quickly hid it, and sidled over to Lily, while Remus and Sirius just stood there with their mouths wide open. "So, Lily you up for Hogsmead this weekend?" James asked casually, whilst slipping an arm around her waist. He'd expected her to retaliate, but, strangely enough, she relaxed and broke into a smile.
"Yeah, sure." She replied.
Lily turned to face Snape, but he had made himself scarce. Instead, she faced a bewildered Remus and an angry (but amused) Sirius.
"James! You're going out with Lily, and you didn't even tell us?!" Sirius said angrily.
James and Lily glanced at each other, and burst into laughter. (Sploogal: I think people tend to burst too much in this story. I'll be putting a stop to that.)
"We're. not." Lily said in between bursts of laughter. (Sploogal: See what I mean?)
"What in the name of Merlin is going on here?" Burst out Remus. (Sploogal: I even wrote a note on the draft. It says "TOO MUCH BURSTING!")
"Snape just asked me out, and I needed an excuse to say 'no', so I said I'm going with James," Lily explained.
Sirius and Remus exchanged evil looks, and grinned at James and Lily.
"You realize that this means you have to go to the ball together?" He asked wickedly.
There was a moment of silence before.
"Damn. Sorry James! I didn't mean it like - you didn't want to go with anyone in particular, did you?" Lily sounded quite apologetic.
"Nah." James replied. He'd actually wanted to ask Lily, but couldn't work up the nerve to do it. "I'm quite happy to go with you! Now, really, you up for Hogsmead?"
James glanced at Sirius, before adding, "As friends"
Lily smailed. "Sure thing. I'm really sorry for dumping you in the middle of this."
"That's Ok." James answered.
Sirius and Remus rolled their eyes at their love-struck friend.
"Besides, we couldn't have you distracting all the Gryffindor's by going out with that slimy excuse for a Slytherin," James joked.
Lily punched him lightly, and they continued down the corridor together, leaving Sirius and Remus behind.
"Together?" Exclaimed Remus. "If they're actually Ok with this, then I'm Merlin's brother!" (Sploogal: I wonder. Remus is always saying sarcastically that he's related to Merlin. Is he holding something back? Gnome!!!)
Remus was expecting a sarcastic reply from Sirius, but all he got was silence.
A/N: Yay!!!!!!! I typed it!!!!!!!!!!! More coming, so don't go away!!!!!!!!!! Also, R/R ppls, coz the more reviews we get, the faster we update. (And the less we study!) Besides, it makes us feel good! I (Sploogal) don't know about Garden Gnome, but when I feel bad, important characters tend to die. (Garden Gnome: *rolls eyes*) So, if you don't want James (the King of the Sexy People) or Sirius (James' Sexy Friend) or Remus (who is cute, but not quite in James' league), to die, REVIEW!!! Garden Gnome: Oh God! There she goes! Please have mercy and review, lest we be subjected to that again! Sploogal: Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
