A/n: there. another chapter. sorry i haven't updated for so long. my computer was spoilt..(

disclaimer: nope, don't own harry potter.

"Nope. Not here either. Where in Merlin's name is he?" thought James, poking his head into yet another empty classroom.

"Hi James," called a girly voice from behind, followed by fits of laughter.

"Hello ladies." Said James in his most gentlemanly voice. " What can I do for you?"

"Oh…" giggle. Giggle. Giggle. "Well," Pause. Pause. Pause. "I was wondering if you would like to go out with me this weekend." Said Felicity Brown in one breath.

"I would love to but…" said James. That was when his evil mind started working. If he went out with Felicity, Lily would be so jealous that she would want to go out with him. Therefore, she would have to ask him out. The best part was, he was not going to go out with her until she was on her knees and begging. Bingo!

"I mean, sure! I would love to go out with you." Exclaimed James.

The girl blushed and said, "Well, meet you in the entrance hall at 10 on Sunday, See you around!" With that, she turned and walked briskly out of sight with her friends, there laughter ringing down the hall way.

"Now, if we closely analyze our dear James' plan, we are able to see many loopholes. For example, what if Lily does not become jealous? Or perhaps how Felicity would feel, knowing that she had just been used? But, seeing as certain boys are a bit more shallow minded when it comes to handling girls and their emotions, we shall look past all those factors." Thought Remus to himself.

James had just told him his 'brilliant' plan and the four marauders were gathered around the fireplace in the common room. The other three thought it was truly a great plan. Remus, on the other hand, had enough wits to look past the 'wittiness' of the plan.

"I will not be a part of your 'brilliant' plan." said Remus. "There are just too many loopholes and people are most likely going to get hurt."

"Aww... come on Moony," said Sirius, "don't be such a party pooper!"

"Hahaha! Party pooper!" laughed James, apparently highly amused with the term.

Peter laughed nervously.

"Fine then. If you're not going to help us, we'll do it ourselves." said James with mock disappointement. "Let's go Padfoot. See you later Wormtail! Have fun studying with the Grump."

It was friday afternoon, during lunch break when Lily saw James arm linked with Felicity, the tall Ravenclaw girl. For some odd reason, she felt her heartbeat speed up and her face turn red. "Whats wrong with me?" she asked herself. Why was she so worked up seeing Potter with another girl? Shouldn't she be delighted that he would not ask her out again for sometime?

She turned her back towards them, trying to shake out all those thoughts. She needed a boyfriend. Fast.

"Hey Alice!" said Lily.

"Hi Lil's!" said Alice.

"You know what? I think I need a boy." said Lily.

"Isn't that what I've been trying to tell you?" asked Alice

"Erm... hehe." said Lily.

"Anyway, how about Andrew?" asked Alice.

"That tall boy with freckles and orange hair?" asked Lily.

"Yup! Thats the one!" said Alice.

"Nope. Not my type." dismissed Lily.

"Jake Kennedy?" asked Alice.

"Went out with him in fifth year. Horrible kisser." retorted Lily.

"Joseph Dion?" asked Alice.

"Vot? You is mean ze french vun?" mocked Lily.

"Ha ha very funny. Gerald Bane?" said Alice sarcastically.

"You mean the slytherin?" asked Lily.

Alice nodded.

"EWW!!!" cried Lily.

"Well you are being difficult." said Alice

The two girls sat there, going through all the boys names until they found the right one. The one guy for Lily and he was staring at them right in the face. How could they not have noticed? Remus Lupin.

A/n: poor james... lol. REVIEW!!!
