1. Kiss on the Cheek - "We're friends"…

January, 6th Year

"Well that was a good ol' break if I do say so my boys."

James glanced across the compartment at his friend who still had evidence from an exciting New Year Eve on his neck. Shaking his head then glancing down at his watch, they weren't going to pulling into the Hogsmeade Station for an other hour and a half. Looking up he saw Remus's watching him. "What? I was simply checking to see if I should make the rounds…and I should so…inform the team of practices…right…"

James could almost hear the knowing little smile that would now be plastered on his friends face. While James loved the break from school and hated having to get back to work he was anxious to get back to Hogwarts. He hated leaving things unattended, plans tended to get mucked up when left to their own devices. This one he knew from experience, this time however much more was on the line…

"Hey Prongs! Wait up!" Sirius caught up with James and swung an arm over his shoulder, "You wouldn't happen to be swinging by the compartment of a certain Chaser of yours would you?"

"Yeah, did you win your match?"

"Nah, Pete gave up. Didn't fancy being trounced once again!"

James glanced down at his watch once again, an increasingly more frequent habit of his, one that the others had been picking up on.

"Only about 5 minutes after you last checked Prongs. I wouldn't worry if I were you, you would have heard if anything had happen, you know how birds are!"

Blushing at being caught James smiled ruefully, "Right I know, its just…well I don't know," Shrugging he looking into the compartment they had reached. "I'll relax when we get back to Hogwarts."

Sirius nodded then turned to the compartment door, "Ladies."

Smiling James followed him in.

"Ah home sweet home, eh Prongs my boy?" James followed Sirius and Peter through the porthole, his eyes immediately searching the common room for a familiar face, and he found it sitting on the love seat by the fire. Ignoring the wink from Sirius, James made his way over.

"'lo."

"James! Good your back!" Lily jumped up from her seat and gave James a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek, "Did you have a lovely holiday, thanks for the book by the way. A great help for my paper! Although I still have some questions and I was wondering…."

James pressed a hand to his face, smiling he sat down beside his friend ready to help. Sirius was right, there wasn't anything to worry about.
