101 Ways to Ask Lily Evans Out

#55

"JAMES POTTER YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!" Lily shouted. 

"I'd rather be your man," he called back.

She was soaking wet head to toe but the water didn't seem to cool down her anger. She grabbed her wand and send a hex towards James which capsized his little boat sending him flying into the water.

Lily was enjoying a nice evening outside with Hestia and Remus when a huge wave came crashing down onto Lily. Not onto Remus, and not onto Hestia. Just her. And once the wave had washed away, who else but James Potter sitting in a small dinky boat bobbing up and down. 

When he did come ashore, right after Sirius had gotten a good shove from Lily, he was quick to defend himself. "I know you might be mad," he pleaded.

"Might be?"

"But what's this anger really about?"

"It's about you being a complete prat! That's what!"

"Okay, but maybe it's anger from an inner problem." Lily put her hands on her hips and stared at him with narrowed eyes and pursed lips. "Maybe you're just mad because all these years you could've been with me but you said no! It's okay Lily, there's still a chance for me if you want it."

Lily pushed him so hard he was knocked off his feet and sent back into the water. James resurfaced and ran his hand through his hair to push it out of his face. "Opportunity always knocks for you, Lily."
