After they had finished dinner, Melinda and the rest of the group walked back to the common room with full stomachs.
Lily took her arm and they both skipped back to the common room happily.
"You like her don't you?" James asked Remus.
"Huh?" He replied pretending to come back to reality.
James gave him a stern look followed by a grin.
"Maybe."
"You know Moony." James began. "Lily and I weren't real happy with each other years ago."
"Well duh." Remus laughed.
"But you hit it right off! Lucky you!" James replied giving him a friendly punch in the shoulder.
Remus smiled as he looked ahead and saw Lily and Melinda dancing and giggling.
"Sirius hurry up!" James replied looking over his shoulder.
Sirius, having had too much to eat, gave James the bird.
James turned to Remus and put his index finger to his lips.
He replied with a confused look.
Then James slowly crept behind Lily and caught her around the waist and she screamed gleefully.
"Put me down James! That tickles!"
"You know what I want." He replied.
She sighed as she kissed him.
Melinda laughed, but they soon faded away as she suddenly began to fall.
Remus didn't even have to think as he ran to Melinda and caught her.
"Don't get all worked up Remus. She always does that when she's tired and she stands too long." Sirius replied.
"Poor thing." Lily replied.
Remus smiled gently as he looked in her face.
"She's so beautiful." He whispered.
James smiled sweetly and Sirius gagged.
"I'll take her." James replied.
"No I will." Remus replied.
James smiled as he helped Remus get her on his back.
"Hey where's Peter?" Lily asked.
"Probably hanging with Tom again." Sirius replied.
Remus felt an amazing feeling go through him.
It was a feeling that he never wanted to go away.
"I know the feeling Moony." James whispered as he noticed the look on Remus's
face.
He replied with a smile as he pushed Melinda a little farther up his back.
