"I said 'no', what part of that don't you understand?" Lily asked as she tried to walk towards the castle. She'd been studying under one of threes near the lake. James had popped up out of what seemed like nowhere.

"The part where it's just one date, one ride across the lake in a rowboat. I'll even row!" he exclaimed pointing to a falling apart row boat sitting on the shore of the lake.

"James, I'm not interested in you that way. How many times do I have to tell you?" she asked trying to walk past him.

"Five thousand, three hundred and fifty-one?" he asked walking backwards in front of her.

"And how many times have I said it so far?" Lily glared at him, trying to figure out how to get past him.

"About a hundred?"

"No, no, no, no," Lily repeated trying to walk around him.

"Please?" James begged trying to follow her. She stopped and put her hands across her narrow chest.

"James Potter, I would rather snog a troll than you. I would rather snog the giant squid than you. What do I have to do to show I'm not interested?"

"Just give me a try, maybe you're jumping to conclusions you're not interested? One date?" James reached out to put a hand on Lily's shoulder. As his hand made contact with her, she grabbed his wrist, twisted it and flipped him to the ground.

"Ow! Why did you do that? That hurt!"

"Good, now that I've shown I'm willing to hurt you to get to leave me alone, please, leave me alone before I tell Professor McGonagall about your obsession with harassing me every time you see me. You're worse than Severus, at least he'd never tried to touch me without permission! Got it, Potter?" Lily asked standing over James. He nodded slowly, his hazel eyes wide. He'd never seen this side of Lily, the dangerous side, and a small part of him found it incredibly interesting. As she stalked away, he wondered if it was worth getting his arm possibly broken to try and pursue her despite her warning.
