Lily wrapped her jacket around even tighter, it was Christmas Holidays. She stayed at school because her parents and sister went to visit their aunt and uncle. There was at least a foot of snow that went almost up to the sixteen-year-olds knees; she had a thick winter jacket and a hood over her red hair. Everyone else was inside the warm castle because it was snowing to hard.

So then why would Lily Evans be out in such weather? Because she was getting annoyed of Potter playing stupid pranks, her friends were in the kitchens eating chocolate cake with the marauders to celebrate Christmas, except James, Sirius said he wasn't feeling well but Lily didn't believe it. Lily decided to leave after stuffing her face with as much sweets as she could possibly eat, she didn't want to sit in the girls dormitories alone all day, so she can out here.

She walked to the edge of the frozen lake. She sat on the inside of the forest where no one could see her and the snow wouldn't get on her, she took her hood off and sat down on the snow leaning on a tree trunk.

She took a book out of her pocket. Yes, that's Lily for you takes a book almost anywhere. It was nice and quiet here, not that it was not quiet back up in the school, over half the students went home for the holydays.

But Lily just decided to come here for some reason. 'It's cold,' she thought as she wrapped her jacket tightly around herself, she took the book mark out of her book and laid it gently beside her on the ground.

She looked at her book when she heard something like footsteps in the snow.

She looked up hoping that it was her imagination but no there she saw standing a beautiful stag.

She was paralyzed she couldn't move. Standing only a few feet away was the most beautiful stag she had ever seen in her life. All it did was look at her.

"Wow, I've never seen a stag this close before," Lily said, "Doesn't matter though, I don't even know why I'm saying this, not like you can hear me."

The stag actually sat down close to Lily! She looked at its hazel eyes, they reminded her of Potter.

"You remind me of someone." She said, "His name is Jam-I mean Potter."

The stag looked hurt for a second when Lily said 'Potter'.

"Don't look at me like that." Lily said with a small pout, "I don't hate him that much, he is just… oh…I don't know…"

Lily sighed and looked at the stag. "I like him. He is a great friend. Even though I loathed him in the past, I like him now. He's changed a lot."

Lily looked at her watch, "I'd better get going." She said, "It's starting to snow quite hard."

She stood up and started walking away.

"If you liked me you could have just told me."

Lily froze. Slowly she turned around.

"What? How? Where? I mean-how-but you were?" Lily stared at him wide-eyed.

"I'm animagus." He said with his infamous grin, "Though you've probably figure it out by now."

"So you're the stag?" asked Lily, "But it's illegal to be an unregistered animagus!"

"Well, you know the marauders tend to break a couple of rules everyone and then." James replied, still grinning.

"So you know what I said?" lily asked, already knowing the answer.

James nodded, "So. Are you still going to say No when I ask you to go to Hogsmade with me this week-end?"

"Well," Lily said, looking at the ground, "I think I should give you a chance. But, just this once. Don't mess it up."
