PLZ R&R!

I woke up and Alice was jumping up and down with a present in her hand.

"Al, what is it?" Then it hit me. Today was Halloween. Her and Frank Longbottom's two year anniversary. "Never mind. Happy anniversary." James and I have been friends for a whole month now, but it'd only felt like a day. When I am with him, the time flies. He still hadn't asked me that darn question. I just know that once he asks me I will say yes. I want him to know how I feel but then again….what if it affects out friendship? Alice doesn't think that it will. Trust me when it comes to relationships she know everything. Her and Frank were in the same predicament as me and James. They made it work. But then again they never hated each other…..

"Lils, what's wrong? You look like your going to throw a fit." Alice looked really serious.

"Do you think that James freaking Potter still loves me?" I blurted out without thinking.

"Lily, Lily, Lily, yes, he still loves you but he doesn't want you to feel awkward around him. He will never hurt you. Trust me. Frank has to tolerate James's complaints about how he loves you but you don't feel the same way. But James won't take it if you just say yes to his darn question, because you feel bad about turning him down all those years. He wants you to fight. He wants you to fight like he fought. You have to cram five years of fighting into this year and next year."

"Al, are you serious? I don't know how to fight. Just forget it for now. We need to go down to breakfast. I don't want to be late for Minnie's class." Apparently the Marauders have rubbed off on me, only they call McGonagall "Minnie".

Alice looked at me finny, but I rolled my eyes. I got out of bed and started getting dressed. Since today was Halloween, I wore orange and black socks. This holiday really clashes with my hair, but oh well. Alice insisted on French braiding my hair so that it wouldn't be "in my way". I don't know her definition of "in my way" but I knew it couldn't be good. She kept going around me looking me over "making sure I was up to par". She has some of the strangest phrases.

"Alice, I look fine. We HAVE to hurry and get to breakfast or we will be late for Transfiguration. You know I don't want to be late!" I finished as I was running down the dormitory steps to breakfast. I wasn't watching where I was going which resulted in me crashing into somebody.

"I'm so, so, so sorry," I said as I was trying to stand up but he just pulled me back down on top of him.

"It's okay, Lils," said the person I ran into. I felt really comfortable here it was, like my body molded with his.

"James, did I hurt you?" I couldn't help but ask. He was smiling from ear to ear. His hazel eyes were dancing with amusement. I just couldn't help for smiling. He always does that to me. Every time I just see him in the hallway, I just can't help but smile. It was like It's like he was my personal ray of sunshine.

"What do you think, Miss Lily? Do you think that I am hurt? Well don't worry your pretty little head off. I am only bruised on my backside." James said with a HUGE smile on his face. This made me do go into a big giggling fit. He was joking about the whole "I only bruised my backside" bit. "What is so funny? Lily, I smiled and you started cracking up a laughing. How is that funny? I really want to know!"

"Well, first, I was already on the verge of laughing and then that smile sent me over the edge. I really need to get up. You do know that we are about to be late to Minnie's class."

"Minnie?" James asked with a questioning smile.

"You guys have rubbed off on me. I can't stop acting like that you people. I say 'Minnie' and 'Marauder at heart' in my letters to home. But you know I guess that since that all of us are best friends that it doesn't really matter."

"Lily, yes we are all best friends, but you do know that you are an honorary member. , don't you? (that's how I'd put it anyways) Okay, you don't have a nickname, but you don't need one." he said this as I was getting up.

"We've got to go. We have already missed breakfast just talking!" I yelled at him as I grabbed his hand and helped him up. As soon as he was up we were running. I didn't let go of his hand until we were almost to Transfiguration. H ; his hand felt nice in mine. Lily, what are you thinking? You have to fight but you don't want to at the same time. I argued with my self all the way to Transfiguration. What do I do??
