A/n: I am sorry, I know that it has been a while since i have reviewed but I have a lot of unfinished fics so I have decided that while I have the time I will finish them all of, one at a time.

Chapter 5

Lily had wondered why she could all of a sudden talk to James telepathically, why couldn't she automatically after the spell? Then it hit her, all of the thing he had claimed not to be saying, he was, just in his head.

Lily shook her head and walked down to breakfast. Lucius was bearing down on her as soon as she entered the Great Hall.

"Lily, I do not need to repeat myself over and over again do I? You will be coming to the ball with me. Malfoy's do not get rejected."

Lily laughed, "Well there is always a first for something. I don't plan on going with you to the ball or anyone else to the ball as a matter of fact. I am not going. So please leave me alone."

"You have to go, everyone in the school has to go, and there is no choice in the matter." Lucius drawled. Obviously very pleased with himself for knowing something that she didn't.

Lily looked around a little panicked and then she saw James looking at her. She used their telepathy to ask him for help. "James, you know how I would hate to admit this, but the only way I can get rid of this idiot is to go to the ball with someone…. Will you go with me?"

Lily saw the smile on James' lips. "Of course."

Lily then turned to Lucius. "In that case I will be going with James Potter. Good day." Lily then turned to sit next to her friends. She could almost feel the anger radiating of Lucius as he sat down with his friends.

She turned to look at James. "Thanks, he was beginning to annoy me."

James just smiled. "Oh don't pretend that was the only reason you chose me Lily. You know you want me really."

Lily merely sighed "I chose you because there and then you would be the only person who I could ask without Lucius hearing."

James just smirked and continued to eat breakfast, as did Lily. Both unaware that Lucius planned on doing something to both of them, for no one humiliates and rejects a Malfoy and gets away with it. He would just need a little help.

Lily looked up as she left the Great Hall and saw that Lucius was talking to Snape. She had never seen them talking before, at least not very often. She however just walked away, not caring. At least he was off her back now, although she would have James and his big ego to deal with before, during and after the ball.

"Your joking with us right?" Sirius said later that day as he and the rest of the marauders where sitting by the lake.

James just laughed "No mate, seriously she asked me. I think it's this telepathy thing, she's always in my head now, and I'm always in hers. Kind of hard to keep secrets that way don't you think?"

Remus and Peter just laughed at how big headed James was being. Sirius however was astounded that he finally got Lily to be his date. He knew however that it wasn't long before Lily would fall in love with James. Remus knew it too. Lily and James were perfect for each other. Lily was a rule abiding witch, and James was a rule breaking wizard.

Lily would help calm him down, and James would help lighten Lily up. They were perfect for each other; Lily's friends knew that, as did James', Lily and James however didn't know. James was infatuated and Lily was just naïve.

A/n: Ok another short chapter I know, but I don't have a lot of time at the moment.

Skyhoofhearted: Thanks, I do plan on writing more Lily/James fics after this, it's just fun to think of all the ways that they could get together.
