Sara: Thank you to everyone who has read or reviewed this fanfic so far! Sorry this isn't a quick update. SetoXSara wanted to make it longer this time! (I know this isn't very long, but NOW we shall be writing chapters 1,500 words or more, and putting more than one romantic thing in each.)

Sassy: If you look to your left, you'll see the disclaimer.

DISCLAIMER: SETOXSARA OWNS SASSY, NOTHING ELSE.

Sassy: And if you look down, you'll see the next chapter!

SetoXSara: I would like to thank Roxalicous here. Her story The Twelve Hours James Did Not Ask Out Lily inspired this mushiness :)

Phase 3: Hook 'em

x-x-x-x Lily x-x-x-x

James is so aggravating. He's cocky, arrogant, self-centred and an arse. And then he'll give you glimpses of his sweet, romantic, caring side and make you reconsider. And then he's an arse again! Lily ranted inside her head, before walking into transfiguration. Staring at her seat - or more accurately, the messy-haired teenage boy sat in her seat - she scowled. Stupid Ja-Potter. Lily purposely overlooked her slip-up before stomping up to her desk. "Potter, I believe you are in my seat." she stated, continuing to glare at him.

"And your point is...?" James replied, raising an eyebrow at her.

"Let me make this clearer for you: Get out of my seat." And with that, she tipped him out ofthe chair and he face-planted the floor. Then, she plopped into her seat and propped her legs up on James' 'giant' head. The redhead heard a familiar voice laughing - and another one joined it. She looked up to see Sassy sat in James' usual seat next to Remus (McGonagall was scary when she was mad, so keeping Padfoot and Prongs apart was best) with her head thrown back, laughter shaking her body. Turning her head to see the other source of the laughter, she noticed Sirius doubled up laughing.

"Oh Prongs, you have such a way with Evans." He chuckled.

"Haha, Pads," the Chaser(1) groaned curling in on himself.

As James returned to his seat, (Sassy's laughter had subsided by this time, and she had already taken her seat next to Lily) Professor Flitwick walked in. "Today class, we are going to continue our work on writing messases in the air." Sirius turned around to share a smirk with James and Remus. Here came the next phase of the plan.

After 40 minutes of cursing and vigorous wand movements, Sassy and Lily had both mastered writing fairly difficult messasges, and were currently chatting through the messages about when they were going to write the Potions essay. Sassy sent Lily an elegantly twirled blue message. 'We should write it either in the Library or the dorms.'

'I agree. The common room is too loud.' The other replied in smoky red. Hearing a shout of triumph, the two girls peered round to see James leaping up and down with joy. "Send it then!" hissed Sirius, concentrating fiercly on finishing his own detailed letter. Soon, a long, copperplate message, bathed in a golden glow, floated across the room and stopped in front of Lily. 'My love burns for you like a dying Phoenix, and my Stag is not complete without your doe by its side. Lily dearest, I love you. James.' As more of the class read it, girls swooned and boys sniggered at the soppiness of the message.

Quickly a silver smoky message zoomed its way over and skidded to a halt in front of a startled Sassy. Her grumpy frown softened into a smile as she read the messsage though. 'To me, you are more beautiful than any Veela, and you shine more brightly than a Patronus at night. Love, Sirius.' To say the blonde was stunned would be an understatement. Sirius just didn't show his emotions publicly! Sure he did the loud, obnoxious thing were he would jump on the table and 'sing' (it was more of a pained shout) to her, but this... this was different. It was soft and romantic.

Lily leaned over and whispered to Sassy, and she nodded. James and Sirius exchanged glances nervously and watched as the two girls conferred and started writing back. Finally, a tiny little message floated over.

By the reaction of his friends, Remus knew that this was a good sign. He folded his arms over his chest and grinned to himself. He was most definitely, the Love Doctor!

(1) JK Rowling has confirmed that she intended James to be a Chaser. Not a Seeker. That was the movies.
