I trudged up the massive stone staircase into the head dorms. I pulled my bag on my shoulder and slammed it onto the floor. I lay down on my bed and heard a crinkling sound; I sat up and realized it was a letter addressed to me: Lily Evans it read,
Dear Lily-flower,
I know I have proved for the past three years I am an arrogant toe rag, a prat, and a horrible bully. But because of you I see light and can't wait to open my eyes in the morning to see your beautiful auburn hair, your emerald eyes, or to hear you sweet musical voice. I know you have turned me down for reasons in the past, but right now I am asking for your forgiveness and your answer to my question. I have asked you this almost every day for three years but please, go on a date with me to Hogsmeade this Saturday? I promise if you don't like it I will never bother you with it again. So please. Send back your reply with Pepper tonight, but as soon as possible, my love because I will be counting the seconds until you reply.
Sincerely,
James Potter
Okay that is a very different thing I mean James Potter wrote me a love note! I had noticed a change in him, but then he hadn't hexed anyone in months. Maybe I should give him a chance, okay I will. I pulled out a piece of my best stationary and wrote,
Dear James,
The last letter was sweet. Did Remus help you write it? Sorry, but I can't picture you writing that love letter, but no doubt this was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever done for me, so this weekend I will go to Hogsmeade with you. No awkwardness though right. If you still want to go with me, doesn't reply but if you've changed your mind, please tell me so I don't dress up with nowhere to go. You have been forgiven, so okay.
Sincerely,
Lily (not Lily-Flower)
I gave the letter to "Pepper" and started on my transfiguration essay. After a while I couldn't concentrate on how to turn a vase into a vacuum with no side effects. A vacuum in this case didn't suck up dirt; it sucks out your brain. Yuk! So I got up and went to my closet. Were you supposed to wear heels on a date with James or wear a dress? I had no idea so I went and got Alice from her dorm."So let me get this strait, this weekend you're going on a date to Hogsmeade with James potter!" she squealed
"Yeah, that's what I said, but the problem is I don't know what to wear!" I explained she thought about this for a moment as if deliberating the point. "Hmmm… this is a difficult one" she whispered Then finally as if she were a physic she lifted her finger and said " I have foreseen the future and you will wear your denim skinny jeans, a black t-shirt, your white pea coat, and your silver ballet flats." We both collapsed into a fit of giggles. "Perfect outfit for winter and yet barely any effort, brilliant Alice!" I told her. "Four years of divination has finally paid off" she said while rubbing her fingers on her robes. "Oh my goodness, we're going to be late for dinner" I exclaimed. We both ran down to the dining hall and found a seat just as the food was appearing on the tables. I put a piece of roast on my plate, with some mashed potatoes and gravy; of course you could not forget the roll. And began eating, but I couldn't stop looking and smiling at the raven haired boy. He looked and smiled back; even if his hair was a lopsided mess he was still very handsome. He was mine, I was happy. And you know what after dinner there was no reply so I guess the date is still on.
I couldn't wait for Saturday, but it wouldn't come fast enough!
