Rome, Lily thought. Would be nice.

Did she go anywhere? "Well, I went to London for a day with my family. And my aunt's house, down the street, when my mum and dad went away. And...uh, well, not really. I had a very...calm summer."

"Well, that's good," James said, smiling. "Better than having a summer where everything crashes into fire and flames and rocks fall and everyone dies. Not that I've ever had that sort of summer. Either of those sorts of summer. Calm doesn't really happen in our house. My dad's too cool for calm to happen."

Lily, who HAD had that sort of summer, just nodded. "Eh, yeah, my dad's not big on not being calm. Oh, that was an awkward sentence structure. What I mean is, my parents prefer to stay at home. Or, you know, go away and leave the children."

Lily had hoped to reach a sort of truce with James this year, where he hit on her less and she yelled at him less. But she had never foreseen civil conversation bordering on friendliness. Perhaps because the year was just starting, and he was yet to do anything despicable.

James laughed. "I understand what you mean. Whereas my dad gave McGoogles a letter saying I'm allergic to behaving well. Also that detentions bring me out in a rash. She'll ignore it, of course, but it was worth a try." He sighed, sinking down in his seat. "Ah, if only I'd taken after my mother! Then I'd be sweet and kind and not allergic to sanity, and your heart would be mine!"

"Er...maybe," Lily conceded, really beginning to wonder where Alice had run off too. "And McGoogles? That's one I haven't heard. I really don't understand how you stay in her good graces."

"Through astonishing wonderousness at Transfiguration and sheer magnetic force of personality?" James suggested blithely, batting his eyelashes at her. "Shame it doesn't work on you."

Lily made a face at James. "Yes, what a shame," she said dryly. "Perhaps you're just not good enough at Transfiguration for someone as picky as me," she continued, "Or perhaps the polarity of your magnetism is the same as mine, and it just will never be." Yeah, she thought, satisfied. Throw some Muggle Science at the boy.

"Yeah, but if you flip a magnet around, it still attracts another magnet," James pointed out, making the appropriate gestures with his hands. "And magnets have two poles, right? So if you flip my magnet and keep your magnet where it is, right, my north's right next to your south, and..." He clapped his hands together, grinning brightly. "Polarisation doesn't matter. If you rotate it through one hundred and eighty degrees, it's still the same magnet. Don't try to blind me with Muggle science, Lily, Mum got me a big book on it for my eighth birthday."

"Yes...well." Damn him.

Lily, feeling rather uncomfortable with where the conversation was heading, decided it was time to put Plan A-5 into motion. Since Lily was not a master prankster, Plan A-5 was very simple.

The first step was to ask:
"Hey, Potter, could you maybe not ask me out so much this year?" Lily asked, politely as possible.

"Define 'not-so-much'," James replied, with a friendly smile. "I mean, what's in it for me if I stop asking you out? Stopping asking you out isn't going to get me a date with you, is it? Least I can do is try."
