'Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?'
James, Sirius and Remus turned to face there friend and raised an eyebrow.
'Just a muggle rhyme,' mumbled Peter.
'Right…'

Lily walked into The History of Magic and sat down at her usual spot, right at the front, in the centre. Lily and her friends talked for a while until professor Binns walked in.
'Today, we shall be learning about the Elfish Rights one young witch promoted because of her lack of understanding House Elves.'
Lily readied her quill and parchment.
'Now, this young witch's name was Nida Nefasen. She set up the organization in 1939 after she had found out that Hogwarts owned hundreds of house elves…'
Lily made notes, pausing every now and then to scan her parchment to check if she had written anything wrong.
A note floated down in front of her from above.
Lily, will you go to the Ball with me?
Lily looked up at Binns to see if he had noticed anything, but the ghost just droned on.
Lily then looked around her to see who had given her the note.
But not one person was looking at her.
Everyone was just passing notes to each other, whispering or playing hangman on their piece of parchment.
Lily picked up her quill.
What would happen if I said yes? What would happen if I said no?
Lily glanced at Binns then closed her eyes and threw the piece of parchment back behind her.
'Ow!'
Lily opened her eyes.
She turned around.
'Why'd you do that for?'
'Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.' She whispered back.
'Evans isn't it?'
'Yeah.'
'Well be more careful next time.'
'I'm sorry.'
Lily turned back around. Pfft! Some joke! She thought.
Lily picked up her quill to start taking notes again when another note floated down.
Well, I would take you if you say yes. If you said no...well then that's that.
WHAT? Lily thought.
Lily turned around again.
'Um, excuse me,' she whispered.
'Yeah, what?'
'Did you read thebit of parchmentI chucked at you?'
'No, why?'
'Um, no reason.'
Lily turned back around.
She stared at the piece of parchment.
She sighed and scrunched up the parchment and stuffed it into her bag and continued to take notes.

James continued to rack his brains to find a suitable conversation to ask Lily to the Ball through out the whole day.
I have got to ask Lily to the Ball tonight or my chance might be taken away by some Goody-Goody.
'Mr Potter!'
'Yes professor?'
'Have you been listening to what I have been saying?'
'Erm…'
'I would take that as a no.'
'Yes Professor.'
'Well please continue to daydream-'
'What?'
'-if you would like to receive a detention with me on Thursday evening.'
The bell rang.
'Well the Mr Potter, I would say that you have just been saved by the bell.'
Everyone scrambled to get out of the classroom.
The Marauders walked down to the Great Hall.
-----
Lily was walking down into the dungeons for potions when Drey Kredule, a boy in her potions class popped up.
'Uh hi Evans.'
'Hi Kredule. How's it going?'
'Hi, um, I was wondering, um, if you, um, like to go to the, er, Ball with me.'
Oh my God! I've been asked to the ball! I'm so happy, nanananana! 'Sure!'
'Oh my God! Really?'
'Yup! I really can't wait for the Ball!' Lily squealed.
'Cool, thanks Lily! You're not gonna regret this!'
'No I don't think I will!'
'Well, we'll talk about it when the date draws closer.'
Lily smiled warmly. 'Ok, no problem.'
-----
That evening Lily sat on the sofa by the fire that was closest to her dorm. James on the other one.
James looked up slowly from his homework. Ok James, relax, you've asked her out so many times before that this is gonna be a cinch!
'Lily?'
Lily looked up from her parchment.
'Yeah?'
'Um would - would- would-you-please-tell-me-who-it-was-who-set-up-the-Elf-organization-that-was-mentioned-inB-inns's-class?'
'Nida Nefasen.' Lily replied.
'Uh, yeah. Thanks.'
'Your welcome.'
C'mon James…Show your inner ability!
What inner ability?
The ability to ask Lily to the Ball. Duh!
James looked up again.
'Uh, Lily?'
'Yeah?'
'Wangoballwime?'
'Sorry?' said Lily.
'D'you – d'you want to go to the Ball with me?' said James. Why did he have to go red now? Why?
'Oh! I'm really sorry, I - I've already said I'm going with someone else.' said Lily.
'Oh.'
'I'm really sorry James.'
'Oh nah, it's- it's ok. No Problem.' James looked down at his homework again.
Lily looked down at her homework.
Well Lily, James has changed and you know it. Maybe it wouldn't have been that bad to go with him.
But I said that I'm already going with Kredule!
You should have asked James before.
Well I can't change that now can I?
James looked down at his homework again.
So someone beat me to it.
You should have asked earlier.
Well…
Well what?
Well I can't change that now can I?
