Well hello there!! So i thought this up a few weeks ago... it's actually based on what happened to me and my boyfriend. I know, it's sad that while i was going through a terrible hell with him, i was thinking that it'd make a great LJ fic. Oh well...

What a snowy season for love. (Prologue of sorts)

The soft, white flakes of snow swirled around the couple as they ran around the street. The messy, raven-haired boy chased after the stunning red-head with a look of pure look of ecstasy and excitement. Catching up to her, he locked his arms around her waist to pick her up. As she squealed with delight and surprise, the boy swung her over his shoulder, smirking with satisfaction. The girl limply beat against his back, not really trying. (not that there was a chance that she could get out of his tight grip)

"James!", the girl wailed lamely. "Put me down!"

"Sorry Lils, i don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon." James replied amused.

"And why is that?" Lily asked, deciding to play along for now.

"Because. I'm having fun pretending that your a sack of potatoes."

"Oh so your comparing me to a sack of potatoes?" Lily questioned, feigning anger.

Sensing her quick temper picking up, James sat her down quickly and started to apologize.

"O bloody hell Lily! Of course I wasn't!" He pleaded regretfully.

"Well if you're sure..." Lily sounded, trying to stifle her snickers.

"Of course I am." he kneeled down facing her.

"Besides," he added arrogantly, "You're much prettier than musty sack of potatoes. Nah, I'd say your more of a delicate flower."

James sure did know how to charm the ladies. Lily's cheeks tinged with pink, and she smiled brightly.

"Well thank you kind sir." She replied getting up from sitting on the snow covered curb and curtsying with her pretend skirt.

"Not a problem my fair maiden. No complement is too good for you." He smirked, bowing in return.

Holding his hand out for her, he smiled wonderfully at the amazing girl in front of him. Blushing, lily stepped off the curb to take his hand, only to trip over her own feet and fall into the waiting arms of one James Potter.

"Careful, we wouldn't want to damage that pretty little face of yours."

Lily looked up to thank him, when she caught his eyes. Her breath hitched. James had the deepest hazel eyes she had ever seen. It was as if tiny flecks of gold were floating in an endless sea. Gazing into their depths, Lily didn't realize that James was doing the same thing back.

"Wow." He thought. He was staring intently into her stunning emerald eyes, becoming lost.

Slowly he moved his head downward, his lips meeting hers. It wasn't an animalistic, kiss, but a sweet and passion filled one. Lily reeled back, fully blushing and smiling oddly. She bit her lip nervously and looked up at James. He was, too, smiling slightly.

Lily, breaking the comfortable silence said, to no one inparticular, "I don't want this holiday to end."

But sadly, all good things must come to an end, either now or later.

xxXXxx

James, Sirius, and Remus, were hurriedly packing their bags for the Christmas holiday. Being the marauders the are, they left their packing to the last possible minute.

"James! Come on mate! We're going to miss the carriages to the train!" Exclaimed Remus, stuffing the remainder of his belongings into his bag.

"Alright Moony. I just gotta pack my broomstick." James replied, while running around his bed, searching for said broomstick.

"Prongs man, why do you need your broom, when it's the middle of winter? If it were me I'd be spending my time at that nice little resort you're going to in the mountains. You know, looking for some girls that need to be 'warmed' up" Sirius said waggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Pads, I, unlike you, do not just go to a place to get laid." James joked back. "Besides, if Gryfindoor want to win the cup this year, I need to practice every chance i get, plus mum said there was an indoor quidditch pitch where we're going."

"Moony! We've lost Prongs! All he cares about is bloody quidditch now! What are we going to do!?" Shouted Sirius over dramatically, falling into his bed.

"Padfoot, if James prefers quidditich to women, who are we to stop him? And I'd think that you are okay with this,seeing as this means there will be more girls for you." Remus teased.

"Hey! You're right Moony! Go ahead Prongs, you go play your quidditch, while I have some nice conversations with the pretty girls that are freezing at the lodge." Smirked Sirius.

"Remus! Why did you have to go and egg him on?" James whined.

"Sorry Prongs, couldn't pass up the opportunity" He simply replied, sitting on his bed waiting for his two maniac friends.

James scowled slightly and turned around to see Sirius still collapsed in fake dramatics over his bed. "And that, Padfoot, is why mum and dad don't want you coming with us this time. Don't you remember what happened when we went on vacation during the summer holidays?"

Maybe it was a trick of the light, but Sirius's cheeks tinged slightly. "I don't know what you're talking about Jamsie, that girl wanted me to come into her room."

"Right Padfoot, that's why she called security when you followed her in after she accidentally left the door open." James replied, knowing he had got him there.

"Yeah, well... who cares. I'll be at Moony's this time anyways." Sirius finished lamely.

"Ahem." Sirius and James turned around to see Remus about to head out the door. "Right Padfoot, but if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that the whole you coming over plan isn't going to work if we all miss the train."

"Bloody Hell!" The two of them exclaimed. They haphazardly crammed the rest of their clothes into their packs, and flew out the door.

Well, I hope that you like the first chapter. Reviews would be very appreciated :)

What's next? -- sneak peek.

James decided he would fly two more laps around the pitch, then stop for the day, taking Sirius's advice. As he was leaning to go into a very steep and complicated dive, a voice called out his name. Forgettig that he was rapidly speeding towards the ground, he turned his head slightly to look for who had called him. He saw a flash of stunnig red hair before he fiercely hit the ground.

"Oof." He groaned, trying to shake his head.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I didn't know that you were in the middle of something. I shouldn't have interrupted you. I was so stupid! I... I..." Rambled the same redhead that James had seen before, her voice coming ever closer.

He lifted his head up slightly, only to be met with the most brilliant pair of green eyes he had ever seen. Then he promptly let his head fall back to the ground, blacking out.
