"I've been having a feeling that I like you. I'll give you 1 day to prove to me that I really do like you." Lily said looking at James full in the face.

"Really?" James asked.

"Yes!" Lily sighed.

They sat on the cliff starring at the black forest below them. James put his arm around Lily's waist and pulled her close. She put her head in his neck and smiled. They looked at the stars then at each other. James leaned and Lily thought he was going to kiss her but he just hugged her and she blushed.

…

"Oh my gosh James! You actually did that?" Lily laughed.

"Yah it was my idea and Sirius was glad to do it." James laughed to.

At that moment Sirius walked in to the common room. "So…Prongs…oh hey Lily!" Sirius smiled at his best friend.

"Oh Sirius umm…" James started wondering if he should tell him.

"Were umm dating."Lily smiled. James looked shocked at her words.

"Really?!?!?!?" Sirius asked excitedly. "Remus owes me 3 galleons. So now you're like part of our family?"

"Yah I guess…Don't tell anyone else!" Lily told him sternly.

"Fine Fine Fine. Maybe!"

"Padfoot!" James yelled.

"Fine." He complained.

…

"Hey Jamie!" Lily said sitting down next to him.

"Hey Lils!" James said kissing her on the cheek."

"Hi James!" Martha said with flirty eyes.

"Oh um hi."James said as he looked at Lily her eyes full of anger.

"Oh hi Lily." she said annoyed.

"Hi Marty!" Lily joked.

"It's Martha!"

"I know but this fits your manly complexion today!" Sirius laughed at her joked and Martha scowled. James saw his owl by the window and got up to read his letter. When Lily looked up at James he was gone and she saw him out the window running towards the lake. She left to go follow him.

…

"James…" Lily said starring at James who was crying. "James are you okay?"

"Um sorta…"

"What did the letter say?"

"My mom said my dad died last night." James said trying to stop his tears. He finally gave up and let the tears spill out.

"Oh James…" Lily said wrapping her arms around his neck and sat down next to him. He hugged her and half smiled when she kissed his cheek.

"James i was wondering if you wanted to go to my sisters wedding with me?"

"Well I don't know."

"Just to take your mind off things? Please i don't think i can go alone?"

"When is it?"

"It's tonight. Meet me outside my doorm at 6:00."

"Okay i'll see you then." he said still half crying.

"It'll be okay." Lily said in a comforting tone.

"I hope so."
