I know I haven't updated in the past few weeks, I've been on a family vacation. But now I'm allowed to use my dad's computer, so I will be able to update sooner! Again, I apologize for the wait. *Apologetic look*

It was the weekend before Christmas, and coincidentally a Hogsmeade weekend for the students at Hogwarts, when two seventh years left The Three Broomsticks holding hands.

"Wow James," said the first student, a slight girl with fiery red hair that fell to her waist, to the second, "I actually had a nice time."

"See? I told you a date with me would be worth it," the second student, James, said to the first, "you're not so bad yourself, Lilyflower"

"And you were doing so well up until you called me that," Lily replied, her grin fading. Upon seeing this, James apologized profusely, promising never to call her that ever again.

"Relax James," Lily laughed, "I'm only joking."

"I can never tell," James muttered under his breath, "anyways, seeing as everywhere else is packed with Hogwarts students, and I think I speak for both of us when I say o don't wish to be in this foul weather any longer, how about we head back up to the castle?"

"Sounds like a plan," Lily said, leading the way.

It took a good half an hour, but the pair did eventually, though breathless as they may have been, make it back to Hogwarts. In fact, Lily ran the last few hundred feet, not being able to wait any longer for the warmth that was sure to come. She hated, with a burning passion, the cold weather. In here eyes, it was absolutely miserable. Who on earth would enjoy the wind pulling at you at a hundred miles an hour while snow and ice stung your face like a thousand bees? Lily sighed as she shed her heavy coat and the warmth enveloped her. Before she knew it, she was in her dormitory, lying on her bed, soaking up the comfort of the sheets.

"Lily?" a voice interrupted her process of absorbing.

"What?" she asked slightly annoyed, as she stuck her head out of the door.

"I was just wondering if you would like take a walk with me, seeing as our date isn't officially over yet? " James asked, standing at the bottom of the stairs and holding his hands up in surrender.

"And when exactly is this date over? Feel free to share," Lily snapped back a bit too harshly.

"Look, if you don't want to go in a walk, just around the castle might I add, all you had to do was say so," James replied, worried he had offended her.

Lily massaged her temples, "sorry, the cold make me bitter."

"Well then come down so I can warm you up," Lily raised her eyebrows at that, "oh, I meant with the fire and all," James quickly added. Lily sighed at the thought of the warm fire and swiftly descended the steps. Once she had reach the bottom, she took James' hand and looked up at him questioningly after he didn't move, "aren't we going for a walk?" she asked.

"Oh-uh yeah, yeah we are," he stuttered in reply and began pulling her quickly to the portrait hole.

"Merlin, James slow down," Lily said and James abruptly stopped. "Sorry, sorry," he muttered.

The pair sauntered down a corridor on the fifth floor when suddenly they were frozen on the spot. Try as they might, neither of them could move their feet, other than turn to face each other. And once they faced each other, they were frozen in *that* position.

"James!" Lily hissed, glaring at him, "what did you *do*?"

"Nothing, I swear!" he replied, frantically looking around.

"Then what the hell happened? This is isn't one of yours and Sirius' jokes is it?" She spat again

"Not it's not," James replied once more, still frantically looking around. His eyes rested on a delicate plant hanging above them. Mistletoe. Lily followed his gaze and her mouth formed a small "o." James looked back down at the girl he had loved and chased after for six years. The girl who, after all his begging and pleading, *finally* said yes. She met his gaze and he reached out to cup her chin is his hand. She leaned forward at his touch, brought her mouth up to his and just barely brushed his lips with her own. James nearly groaned in longing, but stopped himself just in time. Instead, he leaned down to give Lily a proper kiss. But just as he was getting somewhere, she pulled back. The spell had broken, and they were free to go. Realizing this, Lily averted her eyes and continued walking down the corridor, leaving James watching her retreating figure, wanting more.

A/N- yes, I know it's a little (actually quite a bit) longer one than the others, but I just love Lily and James stories (so if you know and good ones, PM me) and couldn't help myself. And yes, I am also aware that Lily does a lot of leaving people behind. But I also need your help. I am at a complete loss for what to write next so please send in your ideas with your reviews. OH! And I COMPLETELY forgot to mention this: the idea for the Ron/Hermione kiss came from glee851. Thank you soooooooo much! Ok, I'll stop the rambling note now. K bye! See you soon (hopefully)!
