101 Ways to Ask Lily Evans Out

#31

"You'll never guess what my favorite holiday is." James trailed after Lily in the library while she walked through the aisles putting her books away.

"I don't really care."

"But you'll never guess."

"Christmas."

"Er - yeah...What about my favorite color?"

"Red."

"Bullocks. Hmm...my favorite flower?"

"Ooh, that's a hard one," Lily rolled her eyes as she turned the next corner, "A lily?"

"Wow are you a mind reader?"

"No, you tell me this everyday."

"I bet you don't know what my lucky number is."

Lily stopped walking, but then continued. "7."

James stared at her gobsmacked. "How? I don't usually tell people."

"Well it was a lucky guess..."

"I bet you can't guess my next question."

"Will you go out with me, Evans?"

"Er - no."

"Bet you can't guess my answer."

"Yes?"

"Close. But it was no."

"Well, one day Evans."
