Without further ado the first challenge!

Theme 1: Winter

Prompts: ice, cloak, hot chocolate, regret and "Never again!" (to be said)

Lily sat her book down on the table in front of her. Winter exams were finally over and she was positive she had got all O's. She strecthed her arms back.

"Got ya!" Her best friend, Alice, jumped up behind her and tickled her arms.

"Alice! Not funny!" Lily screamed between laughter.

"SHHH!" Madame Pince yelled at them.

"Sorry!" They both whispered.

"Come on, let's go." Alice said grabbing Lily's bag and leaving the library.

They walked to Gryffindor tower.

"Lily! Lily it's snowing!" Alice yelled looking out the window.

"Good observation, Captain Obvious."

Alice stuck her tounge out at her. "I MEANT that it's snowing! We should go out!"

Lily looked out the window. "No."

"Awww! Why? I wanna go out!" Alice pleaded.

"No. Potter and his gang of miscreants are out there and I don't feel like messing with them today."

"Lily. Really?" Alice looked at her. "It's just Potter. Honestly, we don't even have to go over there. The grounds are huge! I'm sure we can avoid them!"

"You don't know Potter." Lily mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing. Fine if you want to go out, we'll go out!"

"Yay!" Alice said jumping up and down.

Lily sighed. "Come on."

Alice only stopped bouncing when she slipped on a sheet of ice and landed hard on her rear.

"It's not that funny, Lily Evans!" Alice huffly said.

"I'm sorry." She laughed.

"Well if your going to be that way!" Alice stood on her tiptoes and yelled. "Potter! Hey Potter!"

Lily instantly stopped laughing. "You wouldn't?"

"Already did." Alice smiled. Potter and his friends were making their way over to where the girls were standing.

"You yelled?" James said.

"No one wants you here." Lily said.

"Not from what I heard." Sirius said nudging James.

"Go away! Alice was just being dumb." Lily hit Alice with her elbow.

"Ow! No I wasn't. I have something I want to ask them."

Lily was shocked. "What?"

"I was just wondering if you would be intrested in a snowball fight?"

"You called us all the way over here just for a snowball fight?" Sirius said.

"You bet." Alice beamed at them.

Lily saw Alice reach to her pocket where she kept her wand. She knew Alice well enough to do the same.

"Why do you think we would want to do that?" James asked her.

"Oh. I just thought it would be fun. You know now that we all finished exams. And we need a way to relax."

"Well," Remus said, "I think it would be fun."

"Mooney, really?" Sirius said.

"On the count of three. Shoot and run like hell." Alice whispered to Lily. Lily nodded her head.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Come on, boys. Live a little." Lily said.

"THREE!" Alice yelled, she nailed Sirius with a giant snowball.

Lily aimed nasty one at James.

"RUN!" They took of as fast as she could.

"Oh! Now you have it coming! Come on, boys." James said taking off after Lily.

She continually shot snowballs over her shot a huge snowball at her that made her trip. She crashed down into the snow.

"Got ya!" James said, standing over her.

"Yeah but never again!" Lily threw snow in his face and took off.

After a few minutes, Lily realized she didn't hear James behind her. She stopped.

She felt a tap on her shoulder. She whirled around. No one was there.

Another tap. Still no one.

"I know your there, knows about that stupid cloak of yours."

"Do they, Evans?" James whispered in her ear. She whirled around to where she thought he was.

"Missed me." James whispered again.

"Come out and face me like a man." Lily laughed. Her wand poised in her hand.

"Don't think I will." James said right by her ear. She sent a snowball the way.

"Missed again. No wonder your not on the Quidditch team." James laughed.

"Well at least I don't have to cheat with an invisibility cloak."

"Not cheating, Evans just playing to my strengths. Got ya!" James threw off the cloak and picked her up.

Lily screamed and dropped her wand. "Let me go."

"No not just yet. You're my prisioner."

"James Potter! Let me go!"

"Aww, now what ever happened to manners?"

"Please?" Lily asked giving him the puppy dog look.

James hesitated, then sighed. "Don't make me regret this."

He set her down on the ground and sat down beside her. "Now stay here. You are still my prisioner."

"Don't count on that to long. Alice will come save me."

James laughed. "I like to see her try to get past Padfoot."

"Oh she will. Alice is one mean witch." Lily laughed.

"You have a beautiful laugh." James stated looking at Lily.

Lily blushed. "Your crazy, Potter."

"I'm serious, Lily. It's beautiful." He sat closer to her. He was quite warm so Lily put her head on his shoulder.

"If you say so."

"I do say so." James said taking her face and looking at her. "Believe me I wouldn't lie to you."

Looking at James like this, Lily never noticed how much blue was in them.

"Your eyes are beautiful, I never noticed all the blue in them." Lily said. James smiled. "Your beautiful in general, Lily."

Lily felt a blush creep up her cheeks. James leaned forward.

"We got her! We- oh. Umm, sorry, mate." Sirius said.

Lily jumped back.

"We got, Stebbins!" Remus said. Alice poked her face around his back.

"Yeah, they had me cornered. I had no other choice but to surrender." Her eyes were bright.

Lily laughed. "James had me slung over his shoulder."

"Kinky." Sirius joked. James hit him in the back of the head. "Ow! Sorry."

"It's freezing." James said. "Let's go get some hot chocolate from the kitchen."

The boys all followed. "You coming, Lily?" James asked.

Lily smiled at James. Earlier today, she would have laughed if someone said she would be hanging out with James Potter. Now...Maybe she wouldn't.

"Sure why not."
