Characters: James, Lily
I clear my throat nervously and approach my lady fair. "Lily," I say.
"Potter." She replies.
You'd think that after all my practice in getting shot down, this would get easier. Somehow it doesn't. I should give up, but I can't bring myself to do that.
"Lily, will you marry me?"
She gives me this cool, green-eyed stare. "I'm sorry, James, but no."
At least she's apologetic about it.
"Will you tell me why not?"
"I don't think you're serious."
With great effort, I refrain from punning on Padfoot's given name.
"What will convince you?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know."
