Chapter Two

Lily, Remus and James looked on in disgust as Sirius shoveled food into his mouth like there was no tomorrow. Sirius noticed them staring at him.

"What? I'm hungry!" he said through a mouth full of potatoes.

"When are you not, mate?" James chuckled. Lily rolled her eyes and went back to her dinner.

"Hey Lily Evans!" Lily turned around and saw David standing behind her.

"Hi," she said. Remus looked at James and saw the jealous expression on his face.

"Guys this is David I met him on the train," she told her friends. David gave them all a little wave and then turned his attention back to Lily.

"Do you wanna take a walk?" he asked her casually.

"You mean with you? I mean sure," Lily said. "Um so I guess I'll see you guys later," she stood up from the table and left the great hall with David, leaving James seething.

They went outside and talked for awhile. Lily learned that David was on the Ravenclaw quidditch team and he liked to read and write. They sat down on the grass next to the lake after awhile.

"You know, Lily you're really pretty," Lily blushed and looked down.

"No I'm not," she mumbled. David put his finger under her chin and pulled her face up to look at him.

"Yes you are," he said firmly. Lily smiled.

"Thanks," she said.

"What are you doing tomorrow night?" he asked.

"Nothing, why?"

"Do you want to take another walk with me tomorrow? Same time?"

"Um...sure," she agreed, "So I guess I'll meet you in front of the entrance," she stood up and David did the same. He walked her to the heads dormitory.

"Goodnight Lily Evans," he said with a smile. He leaned over and kissed her softly on the cheek. Lily entered the dormitory with a goofy grin plastered on her face. James looked up when she walked in.

"Hi James," she greeted him as she walked up the stairs to her bedroom. James watched as she went up the stairs, jealousy written all over his face.

The door to the bathroom swung open just as James was about to knock.

"Good morning, James," Lily greeted him as she stepped out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel and her hair dripping. James' jaw dropped when he saw her attire. She's so hot! he thought, No! She's my best friend! I can't think she's hot.

Well you do.

What? Who is this?

Your subconcious.

Leave me alone!

I'm you so technically I can't.

Grrr.

Lily watched as James had this internal battle with himself.

"Um.. James?" James snapped back to reality at the sound of Lily's voice.

"Hmm?"

"Are you feeling okay?" James felt his cheeks burn.

"Yeah, I'm fine,"

"Don't hurt yourself," she said sarcastically as she walked into her bed room.

See what you did?

No.

You made me look like an idiot in front of Lily.

See, you do like her.

Yeah, because she's my best friend!

But she's still hot.

Yeah she is-hey wait!

"James, focus!" Lily snapped her fingers in front of James' face. "What is wrong with you lately? You've been getting these dazed looks on your face so you look like you're high or something," James turned crimson.

"Sorry Lily," Its just I can't stop thinking about you.

"It's okay. Come on, we have to finish figuring out these Hogsmeade dates. How about September 15th for the first one?"

"Sure," Lily wrote it down in her notebook. They sat on the floor of the common room for another half hour figuring out the Hogsmeade dates up until Christmas.

"We'll worry about the rest later. I'll go give these to McGonagall. I'll see you at dinner," Lily said as she stood up. She left the common room and headed down the hall to McGonagall's office. What has been up with James lately? she thought. These trances he's been going into... they're so strange. But he looks so cute with that confused expression on his-WAIT! What! This is James we're thinking about here. Your best friend since forever. I can't be thinking about him like this! Lily was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn't pay attention to where she was going. She walked straight into someone and was pushed over. She grabbed the air for the thing closest to her, which just happened to be the person that she bumped into. The person grabbed her arms and pulled her upright. Lily looked up and into the beautiful brown eyes of David.

"Lily are you okay?" David asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she told him.

"Oh okay, then could you please let go of me?" Lily looked down and realized that she was still holding onto him. She let go of him and blushed profusely.

"It's okay," he told her. "So where are you headed?" She explained about the information she had to give McGonagall and he offered to walk her to the office and she agreed. On their way to the office, they talked about things. Life, family friends. When they got to the office, Lily and David said goodbye.

"Until after dinner," he said taking her hand and kissing it. Lily sighed contentedly and smiled. She stood there for a minute and realized that she still had to give the information to McGonagall.

"Lily, I had a really great time again tonight," David and Lily were walking back up to her common room after their walk.

"Me too,"

"I was wondering if...um...you'd like to be my girlfriend, maybe?" David said awkwardly. Lily grinned broadly.

"I'd love to be your girlfriend, David," He grinned and kissed her right on the mouth.

"Great! See you tomorrow!"

"Bye," she said weakly. She said the password to the portrait and entered.
