'The List'
"He obviously fancies her Padfoot!"
"I really don't think he does Prongs"
"Then why doesn't he want me to go out with her"
"He never said that"
"No but he said she doesn't like me"
"Well Prongs…maybe he was right"
"No he wasn't she loves me!"
"But you've never really talked to her before have you?"
"I did so! That one time she asked me what our next lesson was!"
"Isn't that the time she hexed you for looking up her skirt?"
"Shut up Sirius!"
"What I'm trying to say is that you should take it slow you know, maybe Remus will help you figure out how to win her heart"
"Yeah…yeah it sounds good. So you're telling me I shouldn't be full on with her then?"
"That's right"
"Can I snog her?"
"What says she'll snog you?"
"Good point. Thanks Sirius"
"You're welcome James"
Lily and Remus stood outside the portrait of the fat lady talking, a lot.
"Thanks Lily, you've really helped me calm down"
"Ahh Remus my friend, anything to help a mate" They smiled at each other with great liking.
"Well I better get off now; I'll see you at breakfast then? And aren't we doing prefect duties together tomorrow?"
"Yeah, yeah we are" She gave him one last hug and they climbed through the portrait hole together and separated into their different dorms. James was waiting up for Remus, sitting on his bed, playing with a Snitch.
"Remus old buddy old pal!" He greeted him warmly, grabbing the boys cloak as he shrugged it off his shoulders and throwing it over a sleeping Peter (who woke with a start but presumed his sleep shortly after).
"Look James, I'm too weak to argue anymore"
"Argue? Why would I want to argue?"
"Don't you remember having a go at me about being in love with my best friend?"
"Oh…yeah…"
"Hey Moony, I thought I was your best friend!"
"I mean best girl-friend Padfoot"
"Yeah that's better!"
"I thought you were my best friend Padfoot!"
"Yeah I am but that doesn't mean I can't be Remus' best friend"
"I thought Peter was Remus' best friend"
"Oh thanks guys!"
"No Professor I don't want to wear the Speedos!" Peter had woken up shouting the odds at the three other boys. Each looking amused they threw in unison three pillows at his head. He fell back against his own pillow and was asleep before he could hit his head against it.
"Anyway, I'm sorry about that Remus, I guess for once I was jealous. You're right; Lily's the only girl who's ever resisted me like this. And it sucks so badly. So there's something I've got to ask you"
"Yes…"
"Will you help me win Lily Evans heart?" He braced himself for a flat out no but instead was extremely relieved by the kind and gentle answer he did receive.
"Of course James, but I'm warning you now, it could take a while. A lot of hard work, determination, and, if you don't mind me saying, a heck of a lot of hair gel"
-----------------------------------------------
"Lily, he's gorgeous"
"Yes but he's an arrogant toe rag"
"I've heard he's a great kisser"
"Heard? You were the one telling everyone!"
"I only kissed him once! But gee was he amazing!"
"Ellie, there is no way in hell that I am going to date him, plus, I like someone else" Lily smiled to herself at the thought of Jeremy, the boy she had spent so long talking to and yet knew so little about.
"Oooh Lily! Who?"
"Jeremy" She smiled again at the name, her eyes glazed over and her eyelashes fluttered.
"Jeremy Huskins?"
"Erm, yeah I think so, I don't even think I asked him for his last name"
"You fancy a 14 year old?"
"No, no Jeremy's not 14, he's 15"
"Jeremy Huskins?"
"Maybe that's not his last name"
"Tall, brown hair, freckles on his nose, brown eyes, strong jaw line, Gryffindor?"
"Maybe there are two Jeremy's…"
"Two Jeremy Huskins?"
"I said that might not be his last name!"
"Ok then, does your Jeremy have a little scar above his left eyebrow?"
"Why…yes, yes he does"
"Ha-ha you fancy a 14 year old!"
"He told me he was 15!"
"Ha-ha you got lied to by a 14 year old!"
"Ellie!"
"Ok, ok I'm sorry; it's just funny is all. Even dating James Potter is better than dating a 14 year old!"
"I thought dating James Potter was a good thing!"
"Well yes it is, but put it into perspective next to dating a 14 year old and it becomes a brilliant thing"
"Brilliant? You make me laugh Ellie Simpson"
"And you I Lily Evans, and you I" Lily laughed at her friends stupid use of words, she loved this girl.
