lily was in love with James but she was a lot more than a girl who fell in love with a guy the end. Lily wanted to write to see the girl but that was not how the world went.

Everyone was expecting her to get a boyfriend and then get married and have a billion children. Yes she wanted James but that would mean she gave in and she is not that kind of girl. There was supposed to be a Yule ball happening soon and everyone was expecting her to go with James,  and he will be asking her  and she does not know how to answer.

James and Lily are friends now and she was ok with that she wanted more, a lot more. However it will also make her life harder the bullying will get worse and she would never wish any of that on James. At first Lily thought that he was joking but eventually she got to know him and realised that he would never do anything like that.

Thats when Lily had the idea that she was going to ask him. To do this she will have to think fast and ask him before he asks her. It is 4 to 1 so she better think fast it has to be a big display. James was a romantic even though Lily was not  it was not about her and that is when she had an idea.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lily got cardboard, glue, glitter pens, and much more. She knew that James was interested in muggle things so she will do it the old muggle way. She cuts out a rectangle piece of card slowly to make sure it was even she then got out red and gold paint because James was full on house pride . She painted that whole cardboard red and made sure that all of it was covered, then she let it dry for 1 hour. Then she took the gold and wrote ,come to the yule ball with me?, in big bold lettering. She added glitter on the lettering. 

She looked in her secret stach of muggle chocolate and charmed a basket and  set the chocolate in the basket. It had waifa,cadbury's. Kitkat and toblarone. It made her smile she made origami flowers to add in the basket.

The basket is charmed to follow the person around for one day, she thought that James would like it. She decided that tomorrow she was going to ask him in front of everyone in the great hall.

She hid everything under her bed when she heard footsteps coming in the room. She grabbed her book and pretended to read because that would not be suspicious because she does it all the time.

However lying was not Lily' s speciality so that would be a hard thing to explain. No one knew that she liked james except Kiki the house elf from the kitchen. 

In came Marlene and an excited Mary they burst through the door. Lily gave them a questioning look but Mary came first "It happened!" she screamed

"What Happened" Lily asked

"They are dating after years of medaling the moment we had a break they got together all of that work for nothing!" said an annoyed Marlene

"You mean operation wolfstar?" That night  everyone fell asleep early. 

 ------------------------------------------------------

In the mornin, lily got up nervous as ever because it was the day. Last night she told the girls about her planned and the were both very excited, however their first reaction was that they were annoyed because Lily never told them that she had all that chocolate.

She plopped on her uniform while uncontrollably smiling Mary and Marlene woke up shortly after not wanting to miss the show if you can call it that.

When all the girls where ready she collected the stuff that she made excitement not leaving her body just getting  more  intense.

Standing in front of the great hall felt different than usual, today was a new day she won't be Lily who is a goody good and never breaks the rules she will be more.

The great hall already filled with students, Lily looked over to where the marauders where sitting finally Remus sat with them, she loved him but he needed his fellow bros.

Lily walked over to the boys Marlene and Mary just behind her. 

She took out her Cardboard and chocolate from behind her making the chocolate float. She smiled and blushed hoping for the best. She could feel all eyes on her James was just staring at the board until Sirius nudged him.

"No." He said simple and then got back to his food. Lily felt her heart crush in to a million pieces running out of the great hall tears forming in her eyes.

What did she expect he ran after you for years and you kept rejecting him. She locked herself into the bathroom. This was the end
