Summary:
“I am not even sitting down at this table until you swear to me that you will only, and I mean only, ask me to spend time together in a professional or platonic manner. I want to hear you say that you will never ask me out again.” Lily said, crossing her arms. She could see the emotions flickering through Potter’s face.
“You want to be friends?” he asked, his face lighting up. “As long as you give me a chance to be your friend, I’ll agree to your ridiculous terms. Lily Evans, I will never ask you out again.” Lily blinked, surprised. She had expected this to be much harder.
