This chapter is dedicated to Madi, who has forced me to update and let me rant 3 Ice cream :) 3333


But before you read this fresh, hot-off-the-press chapter, quick disclaimer! I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. I'd love to, but I mean NO. Just NO. I don't get ANYTHING not even one book. Zilch. Zero. And I'll tell


"IS THAT IT?"

"Um, yeah..."

"I was expecting so much more," Remus screeched.

Lily held James' hand, "and I actually kept the scarf."

"Uh huh, she wore it to my house when we went at the weekend-"

"YOU DID WHAT?" yelled Alice. "YOU MET HIS PARENTS? Wed-ding b-ells..."

"Alice-" Lily growled.

"Yeah? Yeah? Yeah?"

"Shut the hell up!"

"Excuse me? I hope you don't kiss James with that mouth!"

"I- But- What- I- Just-" spluttered Lily, glaring at James.

"Ali! It was just a date! A harmless, little date. We didn't even get drunk, anyway." James broke eye contact with the whole group and, to everyone's surprise, burst out, "Well, I need to study in the library. Later?"

"My God! What did you do to him, Lilyflower? Buying scarves, not getting hitched on booze and now s- studying? Keep away from me!" shrieked Sirius Black.


After that series of rather crazy events, Lily needed a lie down. "Ahhhh," she sighed, flopping down on her four-poster.

In.

What does James matter?

Out.

It's not like you like him.

In.

You're only pretending.

Out.

Sirius is the One.

In.

Unlike James he is actually cool.

Out.

Yeah, but James is sweet.

In.

And caring.

Out.

And kinda hot... Did you just- No! This can't be right. After all, Lily Marie Evans hates that git James. That excuse of a human. A lump of laziness. James What's-his-name Potter.

Yet James was on her mind. And she would never know just how much commotion that would cause.


OCTOBER

Lily stared out the frosty window, waiting for Potter to return. He was playing in the leaves with the other Seventh Years, apart from the Slytherins, of course, who considered themselves far too mature (pur-lease) for such nonsense. Snuggling a thick blanket and sipping lemon tea, Lily was delighted, content, glad but one thing was wrong. She hadn't admitted how she felt, yet. Everything seemed okay. They were fake dating like planned, something James was very clear about, and had fooled all their friends. Well, all of Lily's. She didn't know how many James had. But because of the fact that it was FAKE dating, Lily didn't feel comfortable telling James how she saw him. Anyway, how would someone like him like someone like her? Such a shame she couldn't read minds.


This was it. The Halloween Ball. Fake dating aside, James expected Lily to invite him to the dance. He already had an outfit in mind! Hours passed and it was soon time to get dressed and ready. "So, are we clear on our couple's costume?"

"What?" Lily suddenly started paying attention. "S- Sorry "darling" but I'm going with the girls. We're dressing up as Slytherins!"

"Oh." James was devastated. Not having a date? That would not do. He asked the next person who he saw to go to the dance with him. You'll never guess who came flying round the corner...


"Emeline Vance! Vance of ALL people. He asked HER. She's a bitch in way too much lipstick and high heels. And don't get me started on her smoky eye!"

"Chill, babes. Mar and I promise to sort this out. Cancel the Slytherins. We need to get you glammed up and organise a date. ASAP!"


No. This could not be happening. "Guess who?"

"S- Sorry Miss. I'll hand it in tomorrow."

"No, Pads-" James sighed, rolled his eyes and finally glared at his somewhat annoying friend. (A/N :Sigheyedrolleded! Inside joke, only Madi would get that!)

"Haha, 'pads'!"

"Quit it, Sirius," remarked Remus.

"No, guess who Evans-"

"Ooooohhhh! Someone's in trouble. Evans! You've never called her that! Oh no!"

More glaring. "Guess who she's taking with her to the dance."

"Benjy."

"How-"

"I know things, guys, I know things."

"Mary?"

"Hell, yeah."

"Fair enough."
