Lily woke up that morning, the sun shone through her dormitory window. She lifted her head up gradually and remembered what had happened with her and James the night before; she smiled and looked around the room. Louise's bed were empty, Lily heard the shower running and looked round to see if anyone else was awake. Amy, Michelle and Alice were all packing their bags for the day's lessons and giggling to each other. When she finally got to her dormitory last night all the girls were asleep, which was the way she liked it because she wouldn't have to explain anything, but she knew that that luxury was now over. She jumped out of bed and walked over to Michelle's bed.

'Good morning' Lily said happily and jumped onto Michelle's bed.

'Oi Missy, just because you've only just got out of yours doesn't mean you have to start trashing other peoples beds' Michelle replied, still packing her bag, and Lily laughed.

'So what time did u finally get back in last night Lil?' Alice asked and the girls stepped away from their bags for a moment to listen.

'I don't know, about one, why?' Lily asked and Amy shook her head.

'And you're supposed to be the sensible Head Girl, so who were you with then to stay out that late?' Amy asked and Lily couldn't help but feel her cheeks go red; she turned around and walked back over to her bed, hoping that none of the girls had noticed.

'No-one, I was sat on my own downstairs reading a book' Lily said simply and Michelle laughed slightly.

'Yeah, ok then Lily, I know you, and even though you love your books you're not going to sit up till that late and read a book over and over again, unless you weren't reading the book all night'

'Damn' thought Lily 'why did they have to know me so well…'

'Ok then, I suppose you're going to find out sooner or later, I would have hoped later but never mind, nothings as it seems around here anymore' Lily said and sat on her bed. Knowing that exciting gossip was inches away the girls made their way over to Lily and crowded around her bed.

'Explain please' Alice said getting excited and Lily laughed at her friends; she never underestimated how excited her friends get when something happens in the group. But she couldn't criticize; she was exactly the same when one of them had gossip.

'Ok well I wasn't alone last night, only for about the first half an hour, I was with James' Lily started to explain and the girls gasped.

'Lily, you called him James, what happened to Potter? Aww Lily's in love' Michelle said and started laughing and Lily blushed again.

'Aww and she's blushing, so much for 'I'll always hate Potter'' Alice giggled and Lily sighed.

'Anyway … back to the story, the sooner I get it over with the sooner I can leave this uncompfortable situation' Lily said and Michelle smiled.

'Oh you love all the attention really Lily, so come on, continue'

'Ok well, he came downstairs to me and apologised for everything, I didn't accept at first, then he just … started being charming and funny. I was thirsty, we went down to the kitchens for a drink and then came back to the common room' Lily said and the girls giggled again, it had to be better then their screams Lily thought.

'And…'

'And… we kissed' Lily said and there they were, the screams. She laughed and the girls stopped.

'Lily! So what's going on now then?' Amy asked excited and Lily shrugged her shoulders.

'No idea … I haven't spoken to him since it happened'

'Well get downstairs and go talk to him' Alice shouted and the girls giggled and screamed loudly, Louise walked out of the bathroom and stared at the girls huddled around Lily's bed.

'Have I missed something?' She asked and the girls laughed.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

'Well done Prongs … nicely done' Sirius said patting his friend on his back and James smiled. He was in his dormitory with his three friends, he'd just told them about what had happened last night with Lily.

'Yeah, yeah I'm glad it's finally happening, but a thought keeps going around in my head, what if she was just caught up in the moment? What if she was just bored and needed something to do? I don't want to get my hopes up and then have them shattered' James said and Remus smiled and Sirius laughed.

'James you can be such a woman sometimes' Sirius said and James rolled his eyes.

'Nah don't be like that Padfoot, I understand where you're coming from James, but I have the most confidence that it wasn't just a one time thing, trust me' Remus said and James smiled at his sensible friend.

'Yeah you're right, come on we better get to breakfast before it's all gone' James replied and the four friends went downstairs to the Great Hall.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

'Mrs Lily Potter … that sounds good' Louise said giggling as the girls walked down to the Great Hall, Lily sighed and rolled her eyes.

'Yes, I knew I could always count on all four of you not get your hopes up in a situation' She replied and the girls nodded, Lily shook her head again.

'It's not even that big a deal, I bet he didn't really think much of it' Lily said and Alice gasped.

'No I'm sure it's not like that at all, I bet he thought as much of it as you did' Alice replied and Lily nodded slightly.

'So stop worrying, he'd be crazy not to love you anyway' Michelle said and Lily sighed.

'Again, think you're getting a little ahead of yourself, love's abit of a strong word' she replied and Michelle smiled slightly. They sat down at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall and picked out their breakfasts. For the first time that morning the girls had been completely silent, which Lily was thrilled with. She noticed out of the corner of her eye someone sit next to her and felt Louise gently jab her in her ribs, she turned her head around to Louise to question her actions, but Louise's eyes were looking towards the person sat next to Lily. She turned her head and saw James Potter and his friends sat down around her, James turned his head to face her and smiled charmingly at her, to which she smiled back and winked at him. Around them, all of their friends were all staring at them happily, as they noticed the pair laughed and looked down at their food.

'Oh don't mind us' Sirius said and laughed, James punched him slightly on the arm and turned back round to Lily.

'Do you fancy going for a walk?'

'Love too' She asked simply and the pair got up, Lily looked back and her friends, who gave her the thumbs up and she left the Great Hall. James took her to the Entrance courtyard and they sat down on the nearest bench.

'Well that was a long walk' Lily laughed and James nodded.

'Yeah just abit'

'About last night I …' Lily started to say but James cut her off.

'I knew it, you thought it was a massive mistake, I'm sorry, and I didn't mean to kiss you I was just …' James said starting to go into a panicking rant but Lily quickly put her hand over his mouth and smiled.

'Shh will you, I didn't say it was a mistake, I thought it was far from really' She cut in and took her hand away from James' mouth and saw him smiling broadly at her.

'That's exactly what I wanted to hear, so what do we do now?' He asked and Lily shrugged her shoulders.

'What about Hogsmeade tomorrow?' She replied and James nodded and put his arm around her.

'Perfect'

'Erm, can I go back in and finish my breakfast now?' Lily laughed and James nodded, and they walked back into the Great Hall, James clasped Lily's hand, which she happily allowed him to do.
