Chapter 6: The Next Morning

Lily awoke the next morning smiling. Before opening her eyes she wisphered "James."

A voice responded...but it wasn't James.

"JAMES! Lily what happened last night?"

Lily bolted up out of bed and Audrey was standing over her with her eyes wide.

"Audrey, don't yell!"

"Oh relax Lil, the others are at breakfast. Now tell me what happened!"

"Nothing like that!" Lily snapped, "Okay we snogged a little..."

"You snogged!" Audrey practially screamed. "Mighty Lily Evans surcame to James Potter's charm! I never thought I would see the day!"

"Audrey, please keep it down."

"Oh please, whose going to here us? Now when's your next date?"

Lily's smile fell, "He didn't ask me. There's no indication that there will be another date."

"Really? This might change you're mind," Audrey said as she threw her a peice of rolled up parachment.

Lily wasted no time is unrolling it. James had done a tricky little charm to make the Lily's he drew sparkle and change colors. It read...

Lily,

Last night was the best of my life. Meet me in the common room at noon.

Love, James.

Lily smiled as she let Audrey read it. She screamed.

"See Lily! He signed it, 'Love James.' I told you!"

Lily sighed, she was in heaven.

Meanwhile Siruis and Remus were walking up the corridor when James ran around the corner and knocked them over.

"Watch it Prongs!" Siruis barked helping Remus up.

"What's the hurry?" Lupin asked.

"Things went fantastic with Lily last night. I'm planning another surprise tonight."

"What are you planning?" Siruis asked.

"The one thing she misses all year about home is her backyard. Audrey told me she has rose bushes in the back that she love to tend to and garden. She likes to spend time out there on her bench and read, and garden...without magic."

"Without magic?" Siruis asked with an amazed look on his face.

"So what are you going to do?" Remus asked.

"Come with me...we don't have much time..." James said.

"Lily! You better get ready!" Audrey exclaimed looking at the time.

Lily glanced at her watch and realized it was indeed 11:30.

"Merlin! I didn't know it was this late! Help me pick out something to wear!"
