CHAPTER TWO: FLIRTING
After all the prefects had arrived, Lily and James started the meeting. Mostly Lily though; James introduced him self and Lily and let her take over. They handed out passwords and patrolling stations.
Before Lily left, James grabbed her arm. "You never answered my question," he said, looking her in the eyes.
She looked back in his eyes and said, "We have to go patrol, James." James let go of her, shocked that she had called him by his first name. Lily was also slightly shocked herself. He went to his station thinking about it.
It was almost time to go back so everyone could get changed; James went to where Lily was patrolling. He hid in an empty corner until she walked by. He grabbed her by her waist and pulled her close to him.
"Can I be your favorite memory?" he whispered in her ear. She smiled.
"James . . ." she started. "That's sweet . . . but, not likely."
"What if I've changed? In a good way?" he asked.
"Then, there might be hope," she said. "Come one, we have to go get dressed."
"Can I watch?" James asked.
"Not likely, Potter," she said, rolling her eyes.
They arrived at Hogwarts shortly, ate and were told where the Head dorm was. Lily and James set up a time and Saturday to have a prefect meeting. Though, they weren't sure why Dumbledore wanted them to have a meeting to do a few more fun things at Hogwarts.
"So . . . any ideas?" Lily asked after explaining why they were having this meeting.
"A Back-to-School Hogsmeade Trip!" a Hufflepuff prefect suggested.
"Okay . . ." Lily said, writing it down.
"A dance," James said.
"What?" Lily asked.
"A Back-to-School dance," James said.
"Yeah!"
"Great idea!"
"Sounds like fun!" various prefects said.
"Okay," Lily said to James. "You're in charge."
"M-me? What? Why?" James was caught off guard.
"It was your idea," Lily said. "So it's only fair."
"Okay . . . um . . . we'll have a student band play. That way we don't have to pay the band and we can hear something new," James said. Lily wrote all of this down. "Any they'll audition of course."
"Of course," Lily said. "Good idea, James." James smiled.
The rest of the afternoon/meeting, they planned the dance. They would get to go to Hogsmeade then have the dance that night. The prefect would hang up signs for it that day after lunch. After they had all the details planned out, Lily and James dismissed the meeting and started walking towards the Great Hall.
"That was a really good idea, James," Lily said, smiling at him.
He smiled, too. "That means a lot coming from you, Lily," he said. "So, Lily, Hogsmeade trip coming up . . . I was thinking maybe you and me could . . . go, together?"
"Potter, don't push it, we're having a moment," Lily said.
"But isn't that the perfect time to ask you out?" James said. Lily sighed. She knew he was right. "So you'll think about it?"
Lily just rolled her eyes and headed off for lunch. She stopped at the end of the hall.
"Comin' or what, Potter?" she asked. He jogged up to catch up with her, but they didn't start walking again.
"I knew you wanted me," James said.
"Shut up, Potter," Lily pushed him playfully.
"I knew you'd fall for the Potter Charm, eventually. No one can resist it," James said.
"Thus far. But how can you be so sure I will?" Lily tilted her head to one side.
"I've got a feeling," James said, a smile playing on his lips.
"Have feelings about me often, Potter?" Lily asked raising an eyebrow and smiling with a corner of her mouth.
"Of course," James said.
She stepped closer to him, smiling up at him. "That's sweet," she said and kissed him on the cheek. "Who knew that The James Potter could be sweet?"
"There are a lot of things about me you don't know," James said. "Wanna find out more about me?" James wiggled his eyebrows.
"Aw James, can we do it after lunch? I'm hungry," Lily said, sweetly, flirting with him.
I can't believe I'm flirting with him, Lily thought, but he seems like he really has changed, we'll see if it's true.
I can't believe she's flirting with me! James thought.
"Um, yeah . . . sure, af-after lunch," he spitted out. Lily giggled, he was never nervous around her.
"Come on," she said.
They walked to the Great Hall. They sat a few seats away from each other, each sitting by friends.
"Lily where were you?" Haley asked.
"Nowhere," Lily said.
"Yeah, nowhere with James Potter," Megan said from across the table.
"We were just talking," Lily said.
"If you say so," Haley said.
"Hey, Prongs, where were ya?" Sirius asked James when he sat down.
"Prefect meeting," James said.
"Really? Well, how come Remus and the rest of the prefects came in 5 minutes ago?"
"Well, after the meeting I was talking to Lily," James said slowly.
"Ah, now I see," Sirius said.
"She didn't yell at you?" Remus asked, looking up from his book.
James grinned. "Nope, she flirted with me."
Sirius' jaw dropped. "She what?"
"She flirted with me," James said.
"Lily?" Sirius asked. James nodded. "She flirted? With you?" James grinned again.
"Yes, Sirius she flirted with me," James said.
"Lily Evan?!" Sirius said loudly.
They looked over at Lily, who was looking over at them with an eyebrow raised. She looked at James and smiled at him. She got up from where she was sitting and walked over. She sat down next to James.
"Talking about me boys?" Lily asked.
"Just how you should try out for the Quidditch team this year," Sirius lied.
"Uh-huh," Lily said.
"Really, you've got the body for it. A small frame, -OW! James?!" James had kicked Sirius in the shin.
"Can I talk to you after lunch?" Lily whispered in James ear. He nodded. "I'll get you when I'm done." Lily went back to her friends.
A few minutes later, Lily got up and walked past James. She turned to look at him over her shoulder. James watched her the whole time.
"See ya later guys," James said and got up.
"You're ditching your friends for some chick?!" Sirius said.
"Duh!" James said and jogged over to Lily.
"Sirius, think about what you just said," Remus said.
