Lily woke up to the annoying buzzing of an alarm clock. She sat up, she hadn't fallen asleep here. She remembered last night. She had fallen asleep by the lake, which meant Severus had carried her all the way back. She smiled at the thought. He was so sweet. Lily turned off the alarm and got in the shower.

It was three weeks until they graduated. One week until they had to take the N.E.W.T.s. It was Saturday but her and Severus were planning on meeting in the library in half an hour. They would get the books they needed, and come back to the Head's common room to study with the Marauders and their girlfriends.

She got out and threw on the school robes she wore every single day. She thought about how she would miss wearing them all the time. She went into the common room to see James already studying.

"Good morning James."

"Oh, hey Lil." He barely looked up from the book he was reading. It looked like Potions. Lily walked out the door and went to the Great Hall where she grabbed a muffin. She ate it on her way to the library. When she got there Severus was already waiting.

"Good morning Severus."

"Morning Lily." They kissed quickly and went in. When they had all the books they could carry they head back to the Head's common room.

"Severus?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Lil."

"I love saying that. I love having someone to say it to. I wish I could say it to everyone, everywhere, all the time." She smiled. He laughed softly.

As they walked through the mermaid portrait they saw that the rest of their study group had arrived. Remus with Persephone, Peter with Anne, Sirius with Sally, and James with Lacey. Severus and Lily sat down on the leftover sofa. They dropped the books down and began to study. That's what they did all day, they studied, studied and studied. They even took a break halfway in between to do some more studying.

"Who else is starving?" Sirius asked. Everyone raised their hands. "Not it!"

Everyone else started yelling not it. Lily was the last.



"Ugh, fine." She stood up and walked out. She was glad to have an excuse to do something else. She got to the portrait entrance to the kitchens and tickled the pear. She walked in and was met by a little house elf.

"What can Blinky get you Misses."

"Oh hello Blinky! My friends and I have been studying all day and we missed lunch. I wanted to know if we could have some food."

"Of course Misses, how many of you are there?"

"Ten of us, but that includes the Marauders so I have a feeling we're going to need enough for twenty." They both laughed.

"Yes Misses, please sit down and wait."

"Thank you Blinky."A few minutes later four house elves came up, all of them carrying food.

"Excuse me Misses. We're going to bring the food up for you. If you grab onto my hand Misses, we can save you a trip as well."

Lily did as she was told and grabbed her out held hand. The next second they were in the heads common room.

"Food!"Sirius cried. The elves laid it all out. All of them but Blinky popped out.

"Is there anything else Misses wanted?"

"Blinky, would you consider me your friend?"

"Well of course Misses. You're always nice to Blinky Misses."

"Good. In that case Blinky, I just wanted to say I love you."

"Misses loves Blinky!" Lily nodded as Blinky burst into tears and ran forward to hug Lily. Lily hugged her back. "Blinky love s Misses too!"Lily smiled brilliantly. "Blinky has to get back to work now Misses."

"Bye then Blinky." She popped away and looked around to see everyone in the room staring at her.

"What?"

"Well that's a first."

"If you love someone then you should tell them. It's a wonderful feeling when you can tell someone you love them. Isn't Sev?" He nodded, laughing quietly. "Well it's true. I love all of you!"

"We love you too Lils." Remus said.



"Now about that food…" Sirius said, making everyone laugh.
