We've Got a Date

Walking into the library, James felt a new kind of confidence about asking Lily out. With his friends outside in the hall waiting for him and the girl of his dreams a mere ten metres away, James suddenly felt good about today. There was nothing that could stop him.

"Hello, James," a high-pitched voice said from directly behind him. James grimaced.

"Hello, Rebecca," James answered, turning toward the sixth-year Gryffindor. She flung her blonde hair behind her shoulder in a manner that James assumed she thought was attractive and stepped closer to him. James had to force himself not to gag at the scent of her perfume, a heavy, flowery odor that hung from the girl in a thick cloud, exactly the opposite of Lily's light, fruity scent.

"What are you doing this weekend, James? I thought perhaps you and I could go to Hogsmeade together. Perhaps take a long walk, far away from anyone else's eyes... or ears," Rebecca said, causing a rolling wave of nausea to hit James' stomach. He didn't want to go anywhere with this girl who had been infatuated with him since fourth year.

"See, I'm actually quite busy, Rebecca," James lied, looking longingly at the table Lily had occupied, only to see that she was no longer there. He sighed, defeated again.

"That's right, Rebecca. You see, I've already asked James to accompany me to Hogsmeade and he's agreed," Lily said, appearing beside James and looping her arm around his. James stared down at her in shock. Was he dreaming? No, that was definitely Rebecca's foot coming down hard on his, and definitely Lily's peal of laughter as the blonde stormed off.

"You'd better get that foot healed up by Saturday, Potter. We've got a date."
