Operation FlowerPot: but I Actually Have a Plan

     — Sorry Wolfstar, ‘Lock Them In the Kitchen’ isn’t going to work (AKA it's lame)



  1. Get her alone 

Maybe I should rephrase that. Just me and 

Kick out Remus and Sirius   no that’s mean 

Ugh

Get her alone. 

 

  1. Get her flowers!

Lilies? Is that too cheesy? 

 

  1. Pause-- ask the boys if lily flowers are too cheesy

 

  1. BACK TO THE PLAN.

Ask her if she would like to hang out with me 

 

  1. Hope and pray she says yes

 

  1. Considering steps 4 & 5 go well…

Take her to the park!

 

  1. Give her the flowers

(wait but should I move this step?

Sirius has just told me it works here. Moving on to 8)

 

  1. Compliment her hair. I love her hair. I hope she loves her hair too

 

  1. Ask her if she’s too cold. Offer my jacket #ROMANCE

 

  1. Make sure not to look like a simp because I don’t want to scare her away

 

  1. Ask her about her stay! It’s very important that she is feeling comfy at home!

 

  1. Also ask about how it was at her home !! she said she doesnt get along with her sister...

 

  1. OMG slughorn is watching me. Um 

Ummmm yay for citric acid am i right 

  

  1. BACK TO THE PLAN PART TWO

Maybe bring up how cute Sirius and Remus are

I don’t think thats weird because it’s what we’ve been bonding over ya know 

Plus!!! Then I can make parallels 

OMG im so smart 

 

  1. Start talking about karaoke night 

Just to get her thinking about our kiss !!

 

  1. The moon is high like your friends were the night that we first met w

went home and tried to stalk you on the internet 

The wine is cold like the shoulder that I gave you in the street 

Cat and mouse for a month or two or three

ONLY ONE AND A HALF MONTHS ! minus ragnarok 

gotta focus, god

 

  1. Ok we should be at the park by now so lets hope we are. Make a snowman!

 

  1. Its going to be a giant snowman so we’ll be working as a team 

 

  1. Sprinkle snow in her hair 

wait is that mean i think she will laugh actually 

 

  1. COMPLIMENT HER LAUGH 

 

  1. Dont tell her its your favourite sound on earth. That is obsessive and weird 

but its true 

 

  1. Make a flower crown with the lilies 

it will be cute i am sure 

make sure that doesnt make her sad though. i dont think it will ruin the crown but just to be sure

 

  1. Put the crown on Mx. Snowy

 

  1. Don't kiss her yet. I know you will want to 

 

  1. Take a picture of Mx. Snowy because they were a masterpiece and a labour of love

literally  

 

  1. With that being said, let’s take a moment to remind myself:

DO NOT TELL HER YOU LOVE HER. 

i know you do. sirius knows you do. BUT ITS TOO EARLY FOR SUCH SIMPERY

 

  1. Take a selfie with her !! happy memory collector

 

  1. Have a snowball fight!

 

  1. Don't hit her in the face. That is very mean (sirius did it to me once and i got a black eye)

 

  1. Omg tell her stories of when you were a little kid and would go to the park

 

  1. And bringing Sirius for the first time! 

 

  1. Ask about how she met Remus

they met at summer camp james. shut up sirius, its good conversation and i want to hear her talk

 

  1. Okay! Snow angel farm. We’ll put ours right next to each other 

maybe our hands will brush  

 

  1. Maybe try not to act like such a school boy at that fact. No giggles

unless she’s giggling too!!

 

  1. Tell her you like when her nose does that little bunny scrunch thing. 

is that rude??

mary has informed me that its endearing. Carryin on

 

  1. Bring up the fact that I totally won that snowball fight, just like our last football match. Rivalry is so fun 

 

  1. Start another snowball fight 

 

  1. I bet we’ll be tired by now so collapse into the snow 

 

  1. Point out the clouds. Lily likes clouds. 

Right??

Remus said “sure, mate”. i think that is a yes

 

  1. Let it be COMFY silence for a bit. I don’t need to talk all the time. It will be peaceful. Remus and Sirius do it all the time, just lay together. Its cute!

 

  1. Sit up

james did you need to write that down? yes pete SHUSH 

 

  1. Ask if I can tell her something important. Big newsッ

 

  1. Make sure im facing her for the big reveal. this is important 

 

  1. Eye contact ♡

 

  1. Okay here we go, the big moment

 

  1. Dont panic.

 

  1. Dont freeze. 

 

  1. Tell her how I feel !!!!!!

should I draft this? 

No that's desperate 

 

  1. prepare for rejection. just in case

 

  1. Considering she reacts well, KISS HER!!

 

  1. Stop panicking James. 

 

  1. Ask if she wants me to be her bf 

Or if she wants to be my gf 

Which is better phrasing??? 

(marlene threw a pen at me when i asked but i think that means the first one)

 

  1. Give her a hug! One of those bear hugs 

~be careful not to ruin her outfit tho

 

  1. Walk her home ♡♡

 

  1. Ask for her ring size 

 

  1. Marry her. 

This is for future me of course

But it’s important to note for myself 

YAY FOR JAMES EVANSシ
