Alright, here is a drabble dare, List, from tasha27. It started off being really bad, then I deleted and just started writing something totally different, and thank goodness it worked out :) At least, I like it.
pinkpoodle7: I'm really sorry, I read your review completely wrong (sometimes I swear I have dyslexia). A drabble dare is when someone gives you a word or phrase and you have to write a drabble on it.
Anyway, read and make sure you REVIEW!
Lily was scratching intensely on a piece of parchment with her quill when the paper disappeared from under her hands.
She looked up to see James Potter standing before her, dangling the parchment in front of her and grinning his stupid, but somehow attractive, grin.
"Give it back, Potter," she hissed, trying to snatch the paper from his hand. He held it up above his head and made a clicking noise with his tongue.
"You know class ended about five minutes ago already, don't you?" he asked.
She got to her feet, reaching for her piece of parchment, ignoring his question.
James turned around and held the parchment at arm's length. The title on the top read, 'Things To Do Before I Leave Hogwarts.'
He scanned the paper, deftly moving it to dodge Lily's attempt to grab it. He shook his head as he read on.
"You've never been in a snowball fight, Evans?"
"Stop reading that, you bloody git," Lily spat.
He glanced over at her, a false pained expression on his face. "I resent that, you know."
"I don't care what you resent." Lily crossed her arms, giving up on trying to grab her paper, at least for the time being, since all she was doing was making a fool of herself.
James continued scanning the paper, a grin breaking out on his face the farther he read down the list.
"You really haven't done much, have you?" he asked, making Lily turn a furious red, partially from anger, partially from embarrassment.
"You know, I could kiss you now, save you the trouble later." He grinned, tossing the list carelessly on a desk behind him and ruffling his hair.
"I would prefer to be troubled with it later, when you're less..." she trailed off, trying to think up a word to describe him.
"Arrogant? Self-centered? Big-headed?" James suggested. "I've heard it all before." He leaned against a desk. "The only thing that would make me care is that it's coming from you, since you're the only one I care about."
If Lily could have gotten any redder, she would have. As it was, she just shook her head, not knowing what to say.
James smirked. "Fine then. Once you think I'm less...whatever, you know where to find me."
He tapped the list with his forefinger, then strode from the room.
Lily closed her eyes and exhaled, then ran her fingers through her hair. She muttered, "Incendio," under her breath, and her list burst into flames. She would never make such a thing again.
But, she thought, as she walked from the classroom, one day she would definitely take James Potter up on his offer...once he was less...whatever.
