Chapter six.
"…And we thought it would be best for you and I to pretend to go out, while this is going on." James said to Lily, who was looking absolutely mortified at the suggestion.
"There is no effing way Potter." She said bluntly,
"Oh Lily come on! Already I've had to turn down four guys who have asked you out! There's no doubt a bunch of girls have asked me out! People are getting suspicious!"
"Which guys?"
"Amos Diggory, Jordan Meyers, Lockie Scott and Devon Hall."
"Lockie Scott? Oh this is so unfair!" Lily grumbled, she had now had a crush on Lockie Scott for a while.
"Lily, I also think this wouldn't be a bad thing, people would stop asking you out, and you can break up with him after." Ellie said, then she added in a whisper, "You can embarrass him immensely when you do."
"Fine." Lily sighed, "We're going out."
"But Lily, I really think it… did you just give in?" James asked,
"Yeah, I guess." Lily sighed,
"You realize you actually have to act like his girlfriend." Ellie said,
"Yeah."
"That means being civil towards me, and not calling me Potter!" James said,
"Well derr, I can't call you Potter, because you are Lily Evans!"
"Whatever, let's go and tell the others."
They devised a plan of how they would do it on the way to the Gryffindor common room, James tried to hold Lily's hand, but she pushed him away.
"No one's here. Not yet!" she snapped,
"Whatever." He said disappointedly, they climbed a staircase; they rounded the corner and stood before the Fat Lady.
"Linkata Swat." Ellie said, as the Fat Lady swung to the side, allowing them to go in, Lily breathed in deeply before taking her own hand and walking into the common room.
"Ah, speak of the devils…oh my god, what the hell is going on?" Emma asked, in shock.
"Yeah, why are you holding Lily's hand, James?" Remus asked,
"What did you do to her Prongs? What potion did you give her?" Sirius demanded,
"He didn't give me anything, he was just really romantic, and he swept me off my feet!" James said happily,
"Ellie, what happened?" Kat asked, she was utterly bemused by this sudden change.
"Well, I was on my way to the kitchen, minding my own business, thinking of a prank. When I found these two, pressed up against a wall, snogging each other senseless."
"Lily!" Emma said, completely shocked, Lily stomped hard on Ellie's foot,
"Oww! James! What was that for?" Ellie shouted,
"Nothing, I didn't do anything." Lily said innocently,
"So you guys are… together?" Kat asked confusedly,
"Yeah, James isn't so bad." James said, Ellie was amazed at how subtle he was being, she was surprised that he didn't jump up and yell 'I love James!' like he had done the first day he found out he was stuck in the body of Lily Evans. Lily too was obviously shocked at his subtlety.
"This is way too weird." Emma said,
"Definitely." Peter added,
"So what? This morning they were screaming their heads off at each other, and now they are snogging each other senseless?" Sirius asked,
"Lily, seriously did he give you something?" Remus asked seriously,
"No. Guys, James has matured quite a bit in the last few months. He hasn't been pranking people as
much." James said trying to impress Lily with his maturity, Sirius snorted.
"Shut up Black." Lily said, "I mean Sirius." She corrected herself,
Sirius sent her a 'what-the-hell-are-you-on-and-can-I-have-some?' look.
"I'm tired, I'm going to bed." James announced, "Coming James?"
"No, I'll stay here." Lily said,
"They're just going to keep questioning you James." Ellie said,
"I've changed my mind." Lily said, "Let's go Lily."
Lily took James' hand and pulled him out of the common room.
"Ellie, seriously what is going on?" Remus asked,
"Nothing, they explained it to me, they've been having a secret relationship for a while. That's why she broke up with Will." Ellie said, "You guys always knew they would get together, and when they do you flip out! What's that all about? I know you had bets to see when it would happen. I think I won, I said they would get together in November seventh year!"
"Yeah, you did. I owe you 10 galleons." Sirius said,
"So do I." Emma added,
"Me too." Remus said,
"And me." Kat said,
"What bets? I didn't know about any bets!" Peter complained,
"Don't worry Wormtail." Sirius said,
"Yay! Forty Galleons for me! I'm gonna have myself a field day at Zonkos!" Ellie laughed,
James and Lily had just gotten back to their common room, and James was just about to go to bed, when Lily walked over and kissed him lightly,
"Thanks for being subtle back there. Night." She said, before walking away to her bedroom.
