She said yes

James ran through the corridors, euphoric. He climbed the Fat Lady hole and climbed the stairs to the seven year dorm.

- She said yes! She said yes!- He entered the room saying at the top of his lungs. - she said… - then suddenly he found himself falling, more likely, flying trough the air and heading towards the floor at an incredible speed. He had stumbled with his own trunk. A loud bang echoed through the walls of the dorm. James groaned and turned around, coming to face a pair of only too well known shiny polished shoes that could only belong to a certain Sirius Black, specially because Remus' shoes would not have been that new in the first place; and it was better not to think about Peter's.

- Who said yes, Prongs? - said the grey-eyed boy as he looked down at his friend; a sly superior smirk on his lips. James gasped as he rose.

- Lily! - a dreamy look appeared across his face as he said so. - She agreed to go out with me! - said, his voice stained with happiness.

- I wonder what happened to the Giant Squid. - James looked towards the voice, currently at his left. Remus had been the one to talk; he was sitting cross-legged on his on his bed, surrounded by parchment and books; presumably studying.

- She must have just recently discovered that the Giant Squid was in fact, a she. - stated Sirius

- That was a low blow guys. - said James pretending to be hurt and Remus smiled.

- Congratulations mate. – he said quietly with a true smile, as James jumped on his bed. He was truly happy for James.

- Can you believe it? Lily said yes! - everyone smiled.

Finally, they thought, at least he'll stop complaining to us about his horrible love life. But after the twentieth time that James said the Can-you-believe-it? line, Sirius just couldn't take it any longer.

- Of course we can believe it! - James looked at him puzzled. - We saw it.

- You…. How!? - Sirius raised an eyebrow and Remus sniggered. James seemed to understand. - You wouldn't. - he looked at them. - Wouldn't you?

- That's why we created the map in the first place Prongs - said Remus smugly.

- And that's why we have the cloak. - added Peter. James looked outraged.

- Besides. - said Sirius. - after all the effort we've invested in you two, we just couldn't have missed it. - James eyed him badly

- What do you mean by invested effort?

- Yes, all the Come-on-Lily-he's-not-that-bad and such. - said Remus smiling. James rolled his eyes

- But besides all the joking, congratulations mate. - said Sirius as he patted him at the back, in a more than slightly patronising manner. - You've been after her since what? Fifth? Fourth year?

- Fourth year - said James as he laid on his back on the bed. - This is the happiest day of my life guys. - said in a dreamy voice.

The other three boys looked at each other… at least he wouldn't spend their evenings talking about how unfortunate he was; or worse, about Lily. The boys smiled. This was a day to remember.
