Again he hadn't asked her today and didn't even say hello, he just walked past her!

Why did he act like that? Had she turned him down too often?

She knew she loved him, but could it be that his feelings toward her had changed?

How could she find out?

But suddenly she remembered something she could do to find out how he felt about her.

She stopped moving and turned to the walking away Potter.

Her friends looked at her in surprise, but before either of them could say anything, Lily called out:

"Ey, Potter!"

The aforementioned looked around in astonishment, when he saw who had called him, he began to grin, then he replied:

"Evans, how can I help you?"

Exactly the question she wanted to be asked! She smiled at him and said:

"Well, I just noticed that you haven't asked me for a while if I want to go out with you and since I kind of miss that and you don't seem to want to try anymore, I wanted to ask you something. I would like to go out with you tomorrow, what do you think? "

Lily looked at him questioningly and still smiling, but there was no reaction from him.

It was getting really scary. Maybe he stopped asking because he was into someone else ...

Oh at MERLIN! It couldn't be ... it couldn't be!

Sirius, who had been following the whole situation, roused the redheaded witch by saying:

[i]"Wow, Evans, that I can experience that again! You have to forgive, but I think Prongs was a little speechless"

then he slapped him on the back and Lily noticed that James was still looking at her, totally confused.

By now, half of Hogwarts had gathered around her and she could feel the amazed looks of her friends on her back.

What had she actually done there ?! It was clear that he no longer wanted it!

After another two minutes of waiting, which had seemed like three hours, she turned away from James and the rest of the marauders and moved slowly, disappointed, towards the common room.

The dark-haired Potter was nudged and got by the Black

"Dude, she's going to run away if you don't do something now! Then you've ruined it for good. Say something!"whispered.

James, who had apparently only now understood what had happened in the past ten minutes, came back to his clear mind and shouted, loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Lily Evans, if I didn't want to go out with you, who else ?!"

The witch just mentioned stopped, puzzled, then laughed.

"You idiot, you could have said that earlier. I thought you didn't want me anymore!"

He laughed and stuck his tongue out at her.

"I'm sorry, but you just shocked me so much that I could no longer think clearly. I mean, who can expect that you of all people will ask me if we don't want to go on a date!"[/b ]

"I'm just full of surprises."

"Oh yes you do, Lily."

She was about to say something when he cut her off.

"And I'm looking forward to discovering them all! We'll meet after breakfast, okay? Ciao, princess, you dream of my sleepless nights!"

Then he turned and left.

He didn't even notice the students around him when he put his heads together with Sirius. The last he heard from Lily was a

[i]"Oh, POTTER! That you always have to overdo it. See you tomorrow, you fool!"
