Than he gently reached over and kissed her gingerly on her cheek. As he pulled away, she took him in her arms for a never ending embrace...

Ding ding ding!!!!!!!

Lily Marguerite Becker snapped back in to focus from her day dream. Finally it was Christmas break. Potions had lasted for forever! Her and her best friend Fiona gathered there books and exited the dungeons with everybody else.
Suddenly Lily felt an arm around her-
"So who's stayin' over break?"
Of coarse it was James and he was talking to Lily, Fiona, Sirius, Remus, Peter, and Lily's other best friend Penny.
"I am" said Lily
But she was the only one.
"That's it?" James asked, then looked at Lily "Looks like its just you and me lil' Lilly pad"

"I am NOT a Lilly pad" Lily said

James laughed. "C'mon guys, lets go see Hagrid"
----------------------------
They all went to Hagrids house. He was thrilled of coarse to see them all, but they could only stay for twenty minutes because the carriages were coming to take the students returning home to the train station.
---------------------------
James and Lily stood waving good bye to the carriages. When they were out of sight Lily felt weird, she was now alone with the person she loved...
what should she say?

"So.." She finally settled with.
She turned to face James, but he was gone. She turned around and...

PLOP


A snow ball hit her right in the face. She opened her eyes to a triumphant looking James.

"You little animal!" She said running towards him

"Ah more than you think" He than dropped to all fours, howled than rolled out of the way of a snow ball directed at him.
---------------------
They fought until long after dark. By the time they came in, they had ten minutes to change out of there dripping clothes and run down to the feast. James and Lily were two of the only five people to stay and were the only ones in Gryffindor to stay. There were so little people that they all ate at the staff table.
--------------------
After dinner James a Lily went up to the Gryffindor common room and read. James was really interested in Lily's muggle books so he read the hardy boys(?) And Lily read Nancy Drew. They went to bed around eleven o' clock that night.
--------------------
Lily woke up early the next morning. James was all she could think about, so she took a really quick shower, changed and went down to the common room. When she got down, sure enough there was James reading.

"Well- Sir James a lot this certainly is the quietest few days that I've ever seen you."

James smiled over at her with a smile that made her go weak in the knees so Lily went over to where James was sitting and collapsed in to an armchair across from him.

"So miss Lily, we're going to hogsmeade today. What do you want for Christmas?"

"Hmm... I don't know. I don't really want anything." Than she smiled at him "Not anything buy able any way.

"Really" said James suddenly interested. "What is it?"

"I'm not telling" Lily said

"Oh c'mon" he begged

"No" she saw him putting on his puppy face "NO...ug NO!... Stop I'm not telling you!" Lily begged

He took off his puppy face.

"OK. Lets go down for a quick breakfast before we go." Said James

"Why are you giving up so easily? Lily asked suspiciously.

"Cuz I know you're not going to tell me." James said. You coming or not?"

Lily followed after James suspiciously and in a slightly unhappy way.
---------


After breakfast, they bundled up and decided to walk to Hogsmeade. Thy were talking casually, James was talking about the girl friends he had had and Lily was only half listening. James said,

"So for Christmas you want to go out with some boy and that's why I can't get it for you? I wouldn't be so sure."

"Yeah, there's know way you could get him for me seeing as its-" Lily suddenly realized what she was saying. " uh! You tricked me! You little-"

"Now lil' Lilly pad you openly shared the info. C'mon who is it?"

" I am not telling you!" Lily said

"I wouldn't be so sure. C'mon just TELL me PLEASE? Can't you trust me?---

Could I trust him? Hello! I was in love with him. I wanted to spend the rest of my LIFE with him. To go out with him was my only Christmas wish! Did I trust him?

"Not in the slightest" Lily said than sulked off in to the 3 broomsticks.

----------

Lily sat thinking in the 3 broomsticks. She had just told off the love of her life. What was her problem? She was thinking this when suddenly a hand with a large bundle of orange and red flowers appeared in front of her.

"I'm sorry lil' Lilly pad. I was really nasty back there. Forgive me?" James said

"What did you do?" Lily asked unconvinced

"I went in to your personal business. I shouldn't have done that."
She had to hand it to James. He did know how to treat a girl.

"Forgive me?" Asked James

"OK" Lily said

"Good. Now, about this boy... Sirius?... No to fat. Remus?... No to shy."

"JAMES!" Lily yelled

"No, to charming. KIDDING." James laughed
--------------
The day went on and James kept bringing up the subject and Lily kept not telling him. Until James got in to conversation of girls he liked.
"You know, I really like Fiona. Think she'd go out with me?"

"I don't know James" Lily said

"Oh, well how about Penny. She's cool and her HAIR! You know I really like Lindy to... is she in our grade?"
"James" Lily said starting to lose her patients.
"How about Narssesia... Or Mindy? She is older than us you know."
"James... James... JAMES!" Lily screamed
"What?" James asked
"You really have know idea who I like do you?" Lily asked
"HA! I knew you wanted to tell me!" James said
"Its YOU!!!!... You. I have been in love with you for over two years, but all YOU ever talk about is other girls! How pretty and smart and FUN these other girls are and... I love you." There Lily stopped talking, burst in to tears and ran back to the castle.
All James could do was stand still. The snow filtered down, the wind howled around him, the shop closing up, the bright waxing moon was high above the trees but until 10:00 all he could do...
Was stand.
