Again, thank you for the reviews and keep it up :)

James: Snatch would love to say she owns everything in this story, but she would be lying if she did.

James stared out of the window, determined to be the first one to spot Lily. However, he needn't have bothered; Sirius was staring off into space, Remus was reading his new book, and Peter was hastily trying to finish off his charms essay. They were sitting inside Florean Fortescue's ice-cream parlour, supposedly eating sundaes, but all four lay untouched on the table, melting.

All at once James gave a shout and stood up hurriedly, causing the table to knock over and Sirius' sundae to spill all over Peters just finished essay. While Remus helped Peter remove the ice-cream from his parchment, James shot outside. He had just seen a mane of long red hair disappear into Flourish and Blotts.

James came to a halt outside the shop. He didn't want to go in: he'd look like a fool, and he didn't want that, especially in front of Lily. Instead he waited outside the shop, waiting for her to come out. 'That way', he thought, 'I could make it seem like an accident.'

Several minutes later, James heard the tinkling of the doorbell and turned to see Lily stepping out of the shop, several bags in her arms. He was suddenly reminded of how beautiful she was. Her red hair shone in the sunlight, and her green eyes sparkled like gems. She looked around and spotted him, and James was surprised to see the smile that spread onto her face.

'Hi.' She said warmly. 'Where are the others?'

'At Floreans. At least, they were when I left them. Err... do you want me to carry some of your books for you?' James asked. Lily looked surprised at the kind offer, but she handed a bag over to him.

James groaned.

'These weigh a ton! How many books did you buy?'

Lily grinned. 'A few. I'm taking more N.E.W.T classes than you, so I've got more books. And I've bought some extra books too, for revision and that sort of thing.'

James laughed. 'Lily, you seem to own more books than the school library! Though I think the title of walking library still goes to Remus... speak of the devil!'

Remus was walking towards them, a bored look on his face.

'Hi Lily, how are you? Remus asked. Then turning to James he said: 'Wormy met up with Mary and they went off together, and Padfoot went wandering off to god-knows-where.'

Lily laughed. 'It's good to see you too Remus! How are you? Fully recovered?'

Remus shrugged, and cast a sidelong glance at James that Lily didn't see. Lily spoke again.

'So what do you guys need for school. Have you got anything yet?'

'We haven't got anything. We thought we'd wait for you and then get all our stuff together.' Remus replied.

'Cool. Well I need to get money exchanged at Gringotts. I only had a little bit of wizarding money left after school last year and I just spent it on books.' Lily said sheepishly.

Remus grinned. 'Ok we'll go to Gringotts first then. We'll try and find the others later.'

They set off towards the wizarding bank, but Remus pulled James back.

'James, you have serious issues. You have to be way less obvious around Lily. You running off like that whenever you see her... seriously. That kind of thing isn't going to help you.'

James sighed. 'Then what do you suggest I do? And since when were you the relationships expert?'

'Just try to... try to be more yourself around her. Also, stop clamming up every time you two are around other people. It's just weird. You seemed fine when I saw you two together, and as soon as I came up to you, you didn't speak at all. Lily's going to think you're a fruit loop if you keep it up. So be kind to her, but don't be too over the top.' Remus replied.

'ARE YOU GUYS COMING OR WHAT?' Lily had reached the Gringotts entrance. Remus smiled and started walking towards her, but as he walked away from James he turned his head and said:

'And as for your second question, when have I ever been wrong about you and Lily in the past?'
