The next morning, the guys went down to breakfast, and were unusually quiet... The girls had come down, all talking, Lily seemed happy again, a good sign. Lily, Macy, and Violet had talked in the morning and cheered-up Lily. James was happy to see this. After they ate, the boys went up to their dorm to discuss part 3 and 4 of the list.

"Ok, number three and four...Ah, here we are," Remus, "3. Have a guy that thinks you're the world and 4. Have a guy that holds on as long as possible when giving hugs."
"I think we can pull that off." Sirius.
"The question is how." Remus.
"Well, we could tell her, she is the world, or give her something..." James finally speaking.
"Hmm, that could work." Remus.
"Ok, for the hugging thing, we just hug her softly and long." Sirius.
"Wow Sirius, gone soft have you?"
"What! No!" Remus and James laughed.

The girls were making their way to Charms, talking and giggling.
"Hey ladies." Sirius strolling up, Macy giggled. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Hey Violet." Remus smiling.
"Hey Remus, are you going to Charms?"
"Yes, I'll walk you."
"Thanks."
"Hey hey, Evans!"
"Oh great."
"Aw, come on now Lilykins." He was making sad faces.
"What?" Lily not falling for it.
"Lily!" It was Michael.
"Oh, hey Michael."
"Lets go sit."
"Fine." James was quite mad that Michael interrupted 'their' moment.

After Charms, they had a free period, so Macy and Sirius hung out in the Common Room, Remus and Violet sat outside, and James sat watching Lily and her 'boyfriend', also in the common room.

She seemed so unhappy, why did she put up with it? James wondered this. The truth, in Lily's opinion, was that she was afraid of being free, and James wanting her, and her wanting the same. Of course, James didn't know this. And Lily wanted to keep it that way.

James was upset about all his "escapades" between him and Lily. He was happy how he made her so mad throughout all the tasks he did. He was pretty sure she liked it at this point. Lily didn't want to show it, but James somewhat knew it.

Sirius told Macy she was 'The world' and gave her a rose, and they snogged for a bit, until it was time for her to go get ready for her next class. Then he hugged her just they way he described, soft and longing. Macy loved each and every moment. Sirius was having a lovely time and for once he was happy, with his relationship.

Remus and Violet walked the grounds an Remus was going on and on about how he was, until Violet kissed him to shut him up. He was slightly embarrassed, but he gave her violet and said she met so much to him. she was so happy, she was the one to hug him. Just as planed, Remus made that hug last forever.

James still didn't get his chance yet. Lily was loyal to her boy friend even if he wasn't loyal to her. Michael had said he had some 'business' to take care of. Lily sighed and said ok, then she started to read and write in her book. James thought 'Here's my chance.'.

"Hey Lily."
"Oh, what do you want?"
"Well you don't look like you're having a fun time, and since I'm not, maybe we can do that together..."
She looked confused.
"Ok, um, well to put it simpler, do you want to do something?"
"No."
"Why not? You obviously don't have anything to do since your 'boyfriend' left you."
"He didn't leave me, he just went out!" She looked as if that meant something else...
"Ok, gez, well do you want to go or not?"
"Fine..." James smiled cockishly.
"Stop it, it doesn't mean anything." She said grabbing her coat.

They walked outside to where the carriages to Hogsmade were.
"Shall we?" James trying to be polite.
"I guess we shall." Lily not sure about what she was doing.

When they arrived James took her to Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer, then to Zonko's Joke Shop, mostly for his needs. Then she wanted to go the Pet Store to look at the owls. James couldn't help but laugh how Lily got when she was around owls.

"What are you laughing at?" She threw some hay at him.
"Nothing..." He said still smiling. She got up and looked at the cats. She decided not to torture herself anymore and walked out of the store, and since she dragged James in the Pet Store, he made her go in the Qudditch Supply Store.

"Ug, do we have to go in there?" Lily stopping outside the store.
"Yes, you dragged me in the Pet Store, so I get to drag you in here. Besides I have to get a few things."
Lily didn't budge.
"Aw come on Lily..." She took her hand and made her go in. She was a little amazed, they had some things she had never seen before, like bludgers with spikes on them, snitches as small as her thumb, 'What don't they have?', she thought. James had gotten himself a new pair of goggles, so he would be able to fly faster, and see where he was going.

By the end of the day Lily was so tired she practically fell asleep in James arms when they were walking back. James of course didn't care, in fact, he loved it. But now that the night was over, there was really no good moment to say that how much he cared about her, she wouldn't know it being half asleep. So he decided not to, (which is twist I know, I didn't even expect it!). But he thought he was doing the best thing, so as long as he didn't get too mad he was ok.

When they got back to Hogwarts, it was just about time for curfew so they walked quickly to the Gryffindor Common Room. When they got there it was deserted, so being her 'sweet' self she hugged him and thanked him for the evening, but 'wow' that hug went on forever! Lily was so tired, she probably would fallen asleep in his arms, if James hadn't pulled away. Then they went up to their dorms, only to find all their friends eagerly waiting their excuse for being gone so long.

Lily explained everything she could, before she fell asleep. James was described every little bit of information to his friends, (ok, not 'every' bit, but hey, gotta make it funny.), until they forced him into sleep. James was happy though, he was winning over the girl after all...
