A Tigerlily and a White Stag
Lily and James finished their Butterbeers and left the Three Broomsticks, having decided to go to Honeydukes afterwards.
"So, Professor Dumbledore and Madame Rosmerta were betting on how long it would take us to start dating. I wonder why," James mused. "It's not like you didn't publicly turn me down a few hundred times."
Lily giggled.
"Potter!" called a cold, drawling voice from behind them.
"Malfoy," muttered James, turning around. He was right.
"Since when are you and the Mudblood going out? I thought even you had more pureblood pride than that," Lucius Malfoy sneered.
"James," Lily began, putting a warning hand on his arm, but he cut her off.
"Her name's Lily, and since I asked her out last weekend. Where's Narcissa, by the way?" he added innocently.
Lucius glared at him. James just smiled, and Lily could tell he was having fun baiting the Slytherin.
"Where Narcissa is is no business of yours, blood traitor," he said finally, turning on his heel and stalking away.
"That means she dumped him," James whispered to Lily.
She put her hand over her mouth to stifle a laugh. Yes, she ewas having much more fun on a date with James than she would have ever thought possible last year. But there was no way she was going to tell him that.
And here's the second chapter. Wrote it last night and almost got it posted this morning, but didn't quite manage to. I've already written the third chapter (in about ten minutes this morning. Go figure) and I'll have that posted really soon.
Review thanks- My two first White Stag reviewers, HG and Jeevesandwooster (I meant something shorter I could use besides Jeevesandwooster, like HG for Hogwartsgirl52). I don't think Jeevesandwooster's seen this yet, but it's here. Thanks to Shannon (by the way, go read her story- it's GREAT and it'sunder Jingle-Bellz-ROCK), xoxox-slightly-obsessed-xoxox, Crazy-White-Rabbit, Zippyfox, and Sarah Chapelle for reviewing either White Stag, A Tigerlily and a White Stag, or both.
SC- Thanks for the advice! I seem to be stuck on short chapters with these stories for some reason... And as to the thoughts and feelings, can do. :thumbs up:
