"I think you need somebody who can write better English!" (First thoughts of my girlfriend when reading this chapter.)
"At some point of future there will maybe be a edited version, but until then
enjoy my not-so-perfect-English! :)"(QuieroLaAventura's reply)

Chapter Five: The date #2
In the store was the same common atmosphere like James remembered from a few months ago when he visited the owner for a small chitchat. He greeted him also now, waving with the hand which was not holding Lily's. "Come with me!", he said to her and navigated a way for them through a lot of smaller students to a shelf at the other side of the store. After looking around, she asked him: "These little strange bottles over there and these cubic things, what are they for?"
He smiled and explained then: "These, my dear maybe-one-day-girlfriend, are bottles with some fun, not dangerous potions and below we have stink bombs." Lily made a half angry, half shocked face where there was also a tiny little bit amusement inside. James grinned because of the small moment that she smiled a tiny bit and started to tell her a story from his third year at the School.
"After one of our first weekends in Hogsmeade, I and Sirius bought a few of them. At that time they had looked a bit different from today, but their purpose hadn't change I suppose. Anyway we were planning to use them to mess a bit with Professor McGonagall but then in an accident they got broken in our dormitory and everything smelled like rotten fish for at least an entire week."
Lily reacted with a loud and amused laughing which made James feel like in heaven. He immediately also needed to smile. This wonderful feeling of being the reason for her laughing felt so incredibly good that he didn't know how to describe it in a fitting way.
After a few moments she stopped and put her hand again in his. "Thank you for this nice story and the look into your past, where will we go next?"
