"Ow! Lily! I just asked you out, no need to hit me!"

She glared at me, reaching for her wand, when Professor Mcgonagal appeared around the corner.

"Potter! I've been looking at you! Come to my office tonight at 6 o'clock." I nodded as she walked away.

I turned around to see Lily's green eyes narrowed to slits. I winced. She can be really scary sometimes...

Suddenly I was hanging by one foot in the hallway. People sneered at me as they waked by. Lily smiled triumphantly and stalked away, her red hair dancing behind her.

Sigh. I love my life...

Sirius and Remus stopped in their tracks when they saw me. Remus performed the counter-curse and sighed.

"Snape or Lily?" Sirius asked, his face filled with curiosity.

"Lils."

"You asked her out again? That's the 1,000 time since second year!"

"You counted? Gee, thanks for the support."

"Aww, it's no problem! Always there for our Jamie!"

"Don't call me that!"

I checked my watch. 10 to six. I should get going to Minnie. What did I do this time? " See ya, going to Minnie's." They waved as I headed to professor Mcgonagal's office.

I knocked. "Enter." said a voice from inside. I opened the door and sat down in one of the chairs. "What did I do this time?"

She looked surprised. "Oh no no you are here so I can help you!"

Who does she think I am? I'm James freakin Potter! I don't need help! "What kind of help?"

"Help to get Evans."

Oh, really? This is coming from a unmarried grandma. "Listen, all you have to do is make a picnic with all her favorite foods, or something like that. To get her to come, steal one of her most important possessions and say you will give it back if she will come. Try not to mess the date up, it's your only chance to get her to like you. Don't brag."

Well. That was actually good advice...coming from a grandma. I thanked her and went to the Great Hall.

I sat beside Lily as I filled my plate with dinner.

"Lily, go out wi-"

I couldn't finish because she yelled "YES!" and hugged me. Well that was easy. I didn't even listen to Minnie.
