Chapter Thirteen: Their first date | Part 2

At the end of the breakfast Alice said to Body-Lily: "I'm still surprised that you really go out with him." Mary said: "Enjoy the date and tell us later whether you kissed or held hands!" Iris winked and notified him: "James stands up now!"

James looked up and saw how Body-James was walking towards the exit of the Great hall.

I'm very nervous… Hopefully she will enjoy the date!

He stood up and said: "I will tell you later what happened!" He smiled at each girl and headed then out. When he reached the willow near the lake he already saw Body-James waiting. He became a bit slower and thought: Now everything needs to run smoothly.

Body-James stood at the lakeside and waited for James to show up. She was a little bit inpatient, but she had to act as she would be nervous and glad that she even said 'yes'.

This will be a test of my acting skill… Don't disappoint me Potter! I warn you!

Suddenly she heard Body-Lily's voice: "Hi James!"

She turned around and said: "Lily, I'm so glad you came!" She stepped closer to her and asked: "Can I hold your hand Lily?" Body-Lily nodded and so she took her hand. It felt nice to hold her hand.

I like this. Hmm… It wouldn't bother me much to stay a boy if she wouldn't be Lily but just a female version of James. And of course if I wouldn't be him.

Hand in Hand they walked to the gate where Filch was checking whether the students had a valid permission to visit the village.

After they passed the gate and walked next to the forest toward Hogsmeade he asked Body-James: "So what is your plan for our date? Where will we going?"

A few moments he didn't answer, then Body-James said: "I want to make first a walk next to the forest, I thought also we might buy some sweets before we start and eat them on the way. You like this Lily?"

He nodded and said: "Sounds like a romantic winter walk, I like this!"

Body-James looked at him for a moment then he smiled and said: "Exactly!"
