Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Never have nor will I ever never own this fabuloso story.

I am sad I got flames in one of my reviews (goes and hides in a corner)…

This chapter will be the long awaited date that is supposed to happen so yeah…

Sorry I'm really down right now but anyway here you go…

Chapter 19 (Lily's POV)

I sat by the bar at the Leaky cauldron waiting for Potter to show up. He was ten minutes late! The nerve of him, I shouldn't have come, I feel like an idiot sitting here by myself. I watched numerous witches and wizards passing through the doors, all except the one I wanted.

James.

This was getting ridiculous; standing up from my stool, I grabbed my coat. While trying to put my arm through the coat, Potter walks in with a rushed and panic look on his face. He sees me and rushes towards me.

"Lily, I am SO sorry, please forgive me." He said pleadingly, without giving me a chance to say hello. I decided to toy with him a bit (uh oh!)

"What did you say Potter?" I said putting my hand up to my ear.

"I'm sorry…" he said the glint in his eye was nowhere to be found, my stomach lurched, I felt bad I shouldn't be doing this to him. He does seem to be sorry.

"I forgive you James. No let's go before the day is out."

He smiled like a giddy little schoolboy as he heard these words. He offered me his arm; I looked at it unsure if I should take it.

"Shall I escort thy lady to diagon alley?"

" You may," I said as we walked in to the sun filled alley, full of witches and wizards. We walked around in Madame Malkins until noon. After purchasing some new robes, which were divine by the way, he took me to this nice little café by Olivanders.

The hostess seated us outside by the little garden they had by the front window. I ordered Shrimp scampi, as did James. We continued to order our drinks; the waitress wrote it down on her notepad and left James and I talking amongst ourselves

(Mmm…Shrimp Scampi Hint Hint to someone I know)

"Don't you have a sister, Petunia or something?"

"Yes I do, but we don't talk much." I said looking down into my hands, fiddling with the napkin.

"Why not? I always thought it would be nice to have a brother or sister, but I guess not." He said smiling. Ooh how sexy that smile was.

"She thinks I am a freak, because I go to a 'freak school' every year. She hates me being a witch, though I don't know why." I said sadly.

"She's just jealous, because you are so beautiful, and smart, and…just drop dead gorgeous." He said staring at me with those gorgeous hazel eyes, making my sadness melt away.

"Thanks James." I said a blush creeping onto my cheeks.

"I wish I had a little brother or sister, it's boring being the only child."

"What about Sirius doesn't he live with you?"

"Yeah, but it's still not the same," James paused for a second, "don't get me wrong, Sirius and I are best buddies even a second brother. It's just… lonely being an only child; I wish I had a brother or a sister even if they did loathe my guts. I don't know it's hard to explain" he said a little frustrated.

Our food finally came; I was starving something fierce when the waitress named Betty set it in front of me.

"Enjoy dearies," Betty squealed as I picked up my fork.

"Mmm… it's delicious." I said licking my lips.

"I'm glad you like it." Said James, a smile playing on his lips.

We continued on to dessert, which was chocolate cake with hot fudge in the middle. After we finished, and our stomachs had settled down a bit, James paid the bill and we walked back out into the alley.

" So are you glad you came with me today Lily?" he said looking up at me.

"I must say that you have proved me wrong James."

"What do you mean?" he said pulling me closer to him.

"You haven't tried to kiss me yet? You're being a perfect gentleman."

"So you wouldn't mind if I kissed you right now would you?" He said his face inches away from mine, with a smile tugging at his lips.

"Actually I do mind." I said putting my lips an eyelash away from his. He pouted his lips, awaiting my kiss. How could I resist those lips, they were asking for it. But I found some will power somewhere deep own somewhere. I left James looking like a fool, his lips pouted in air.

"You'll have to work harder than that, James." I whispered softly, slowly pulling away.

"What shall I do to conquest thy love, fair lady?" said James huskily, I thought I'd fall off the seat.

"My hands are cold."

"I can fix that." Said James grabbing my hand.

We strolled down the street hand in hand, happy to be in each other's company.

I just know that I was falling; falling fast into the this thing called love…

A/n: Sorry it's short! As I say "Short and sweet all the better!"- actually I don't say that but oh well….

Well catch y'all lata! Holla at me? k?
