Here's the next chapter. Sorry I took a while to update but I've had a bit of writers block. I wanted to write a Lily and James one but couldn't think of anything. So I ended up writing a more detailed thing that happened in my other story The Unexpected Visitors. *coughreadcough* But I changed it a bit. =) Anyways, thanks for the reviews and I hope you like this chapter.

Chapter 5: Rainy Day

James's POV

I hate rain. Nothing good comes out of it. It makes horrible Quidditch conditions, forces me to be trapped inside and if I go out into it, (like during said Quidditch matches), it ruins my hair! Stupid rain.

And right now it was raining, heavily. Which just makes my mood worse.

Sirius, Remus, Peter and I were slumped in the chairs situated around the fire in the common room. All gazing miserably about. Well, I was having a death glaring contest with the rain. It was winning….

We had planned a brilliant prank to pull on Snape today. Spent the whole week working on it. But, to our major disappointment, it required a sunny day…..the Giant Squid, McGonagall's hat, honey and shampoo. So now we were sulking.

Like I said, I hate the rain.

Sirius heaved a sigh.

'Well what should we do now?', he asked brightly. Nobody responded.

'C'mon, so what if it's raining? We can still pull some other prank that works indoors'. Remus and Peter straightened up and started talking about other targets.

'Prongs you gonna help', Remus asked. I quickly held up a hand, not breaking eye contact.

'Shhh! I'm having a death staring contest with the rain. And thanks you just made me loose!', I turned to face my friends who were looking at me as if I was insane.

'What?'

Just then Lily walked by. Every time I saw her I still couldn't believe how gorgeous she was. I wish she would give me a chance, but every time I asked her out, she rejected me. Still….today might be the day.

'Oi! Evans!'

She froze and turned slowly to face me, a scowl already on her face. She looked so adorable when she was pissed.

'What do you want, Potter?', Lily asked through gritted teeth. I took a deep breath and crossed my fingers.

'Will you go out with me?', I asked hopefully. My mates groaned at me and Remus muttered "Not again!". Some friends.

"Bloody hell, Potter! How many times do I have to turn you down before you get the message? NO! I will never go out with you! If you value your life this will be the last time you ask me out!', she spun on her heels and marched out of the room.

My so called "friends" were trying to stifle their laughter.

'Ah well, mate…plenty of fish in the sea', Sirius said as he patted me on the shoulder.

'No, Padfoot, there's always tomorrow', I answered solemnly. Lily wouldn't really kill me when I asked her again. At least I don't think she would…

Remus rolled his eyes at me.

'You know, I think that Lily does like you, she just hasn't realized it yet. She's in denial', Sirius said after a moment of silence.

'Really?!', I asked excitedly.

'Really', Sirius said with a grin.

'So, what should we do to let her know?', Remus asked thoughtfully.

Sirius's grin just grew wider.

…………………………………………………………………………

'Are you sure these will work?', Peter asked for the hundredth time.

'Wormtail, Wormtail, Wormtail….', I said as I shook my head at him, 'Never question the brilliance that is Padfoot's mind'.

Moony stuck the last poster to the wall and stepped back to admire our work. We had put up thousands of posters everywhere in the school; each one was fluoro pink and said "LILY AND JAMES 4EVER". I was quite proud. As Sirius had explained, once the whole school knew that Lily liked me, they could convince her.

Like I said, brilliant.

We went back up to the common room and just as I was about to beat Moony at chess for the first time in my life, Lily stormed through the portrait hole.

She looked furious, and in her hand was one of our posters. Sirius took one look at Lily and then jumped to his feet.

'It was James's idea!', he exclaimed. He quickly retreated from the danger zone, Remus and Peter not far behind. If I pull through this I swear I will murder them.

I stared after them with my mouth hanging open before I hesitantly turned back to Lily. I take back what I said about her not killing me.

I don't think I like the plan so much anymore….

AN: So…..what did you think?

Review please!! I'll try to write the next one quicker. =D

Oh and I just have to say something! The third Looking Glass Wars book is coming out in October! I love those books and this is the last one. :'(

But it's alright cause it will be turned into a movie in the near future. The author is actually a movie producer himself. I can't wait!!!

Yeah, just thought I'd let you know….
