-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

James looked down at his homework again.

'So someone beat me to it.'

'You should have asked earlier.'

'Well…'

'Well what?'

'Well you can't change that now can I?'

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

'Really? You've been asked to the Ball by Drey?' squealed Malana.

'Uh huh!' Lily replied. But Lily couldn't help feeling slightly guilty. James had been so nice to her during the past few weeks that she felt that she should have turned Drey down and waited until James had asked her. After all, James deserved a reward for his good behaviour. So far he hadn't done anything to the Slytherins this year, let alone Snape…

'Oh he is so dreamy…' Ami sighed.

'I know…' Lily didn't even mind going to the Ball with James if she turned down Drey. He had grown on her, in a good way.

'Have any of you been asked yet?' She asked.

'Unfortunately, no.'

'Ai is going with Remus though.'

'Oh, ok… let's go find her…'

-----

'Hey Prongs.'

Sirius plonked himself down next to James at the Gryffindor table.

'Hey.' Muttered James.

James had been thinking of what Lily had said a few nights ago.

She's already been asked! I can't believe it! Already! You'd think that she's turn down other people now that she's seen the other side of me…

'So, what has Evans decided to wear for you to the Ball?'

'She's not going with me.'

'She isn't?' Sirius's eyes opened in surprise.

'Nope. She's going out with some other person.'

'Who is…'

'Dunno. I don't particularly want to know.'

'So who you going with then?'

'Dunno.'

Just then Charlotte White came by and over heard James and Sirius's conversation.

Charlotte White was known to be a big fat giggler when she wanted to be and did almost anything to have any kind of relationship with Sirius or James. Good relationship. She had long shiny, blonde hair, dazzling electric blue eyes. She was tall and thin, a dream body. Her long, nails always done perfectly with a different colour nail polish each week. She may have a nice description, but she was known to be full of herself, self centred, and a slut who always had her two "friends" with her, not daring to disagree with anything she said, nor dispraise her.

'I should have asked her earlier.'

'Listen, Evans…'

-----

I can't believe it! I'm so lucky! James is still free!

White ran over on her ballerina like tip-toes to sit opposite James. Well more like she flounced over flinging her hair back, flouncing proudly and kingly as if Dumbledore died and made her Queen.

'Hi Jamesy.' Giggle.

'Hey.'

Giggle, 'So who are you going to the Ball with?' Giggle.

'No-one yet…'

'Oh really?' Giggle. 'Hmm, neither am I…'

'Mm right…'

Giggle, 'You know-' giggle, '-I don't think if any other person-' giggle, '-is available.' Giggle.

Hah! Like to see who Snivillus is going with! James thought, but instead he said, 'Oh, isn't there?'

Giggle, 'Nah, I don't think so.' Giggle, 'Just us two I think.' Giggle.

'Ah, I see…'

Giggle, 'Yeah I know-' giggle, '-shame isn't it?'

Not going with Lily? Well duh! James thought.

'Who are you going with Sirius?' Giggle.

'Me?' Sirius said.

Giggle, 'Of course you!' giggle. 'Who else would I be talking to?' Giggle.

'Oh err… well actually I don't fancy anyone.'

'You don't?' James said, 'I thought you like Malana…'

Urgh! Richard? Malana Richard? Oh please! White thought.

'I only do all that to annoy her…' Sirius said.

That's good. That git should be annoyed. White thought.

'Oh…You just like annoying her…'

Right on Sirius!

'Well duh Prongs! What else do you think the rest of the Marauders do?'

'Rest of the Marauders?' James stressed on the word rest.

'Yeah, rest. You're the only Marauder that croons over Evans.'

Oh, he fancies Evans…

Sirius and James had now completely forgotten about White still there.

'Yeah, that's 'cause she's the only chick I have ever, and will ever, love.'

The only chick he will ever love? What about me? What did I ever do to be turned down like this? White thought, a little hurt.

'See? The rest of the Marauders know that it's an obsession.'

Oh! That's ok then! It's only an obsession! He can love me, and I will forever love him too…White thought. She was also known to be very thick.

'It isn't an obsession Padfoot, It's called true love. t-r-u-e l-o-v-e'

Oh! Now my heart has truly broken! He calls it…true love… at least his so called "true love" doesn't have a capital T and L. Miss goody-goody-two-shoes Lily Evans doesn't deserve capital L-O-V-E. Especially if it's from me James.

Sirius howled. James? James Potter talk about true love?

'Yeah, and the Damsel In Distress awaits her true loves first kiss from knight in shining armour, which turned out to be a git in aluminium foil…'

-----

The Marauders sat in the Head Boy and Girl's common room talking, Lily was with her friends in the Gryffindor common room.

'So Prongs, has Lily agreed to go to the Ball with you?'

'She's going with someone else Moony,' Sirius said.

'She is? Who?'

'I dunno. I don't particularly want to know.'

'Why not?' piped Peter.

'Use your brain Wormtail. If I knew I would probably kill that guy. Do you think Lily would ever like me after that?'

'Well…no, not really…'

'Exactly.'

There were a few glum moments before James got up.

'Well, I suppose I should go tell White that I'll go with her. She's been hinting so heavily that it gave me a headache,' James muttered. He shuffled towards the portrait hole.

'Is it just me or do I get the feeling that…ah never mind…' Remus said.

Meh, another one of those boring filling-in chapters, which are so short. My reviewer, meh (caroline), is going to be back…you know, I think I'm losing people's interest because of these short boring chapters…
