A/N: I'm kind of disappointed guys… I got one review! (I love you, Kelly!) So I decided that which ever fanfiction site I get more reviews on, I post first, and no, not a couple minutes first, or hours even, days man. These is three days after it was finalized and published on the other site.

Seventh Year Starts

As much as everyone loved the weekend before school started, it ended too quickly. The group of seventh year Gryffindors came to breakfast on Monday, dreary and with the look of sleep on their faces.

"I hate mo-mo-mornings," Sirius said while yawning.

Lily stifled her own yawns and replied, "Who does?"

James was chatting expressively to Remus, who rubbing sleep out of his eyes.

Sirius yawned yet again, and motioned James with his head, "Lover boy does."

James turned his head to Sirius, "What?"

Lily grinned, along with Remus and Sirius. "Nothing, Prongs, oh lookie! Here's Minnie and our schedules!"

Indeed, Professor McGonagall was walking down from the High Table and was giving pieces of parchments to the sixth years that were a bit farther down the table then the seventh years.

She finished with them quite quickly and headed towards the seventh years.

"Ah, I am glad to see that you are all in the same spot!" she said as she re-arranged the pieces of parchment she was carrying.

"Minnie!" Sirius exclaimed, attempting to hug her but he stopped as soon as he saw the look on her face.

"Black, how many times have I told you not to call me 'Minnie' or attempt to hug me?" Professor McGonagall said with a stern look on face.

"Too many times for me to remember, Min- Professor," Sirius corrected himself with a grin, "But it's lost its meaning after third year."

She scowled at him before addressing James first, "Mr. Potter, are you continuing the same subjects as last year?"

"Yes, Professor," James said grinning, deciding not to call her "Minnie". He didn't want a detention this early in the year.

"Still an Auror then, Potter?" she asked, looking at him over her glasses.

"Yes, Professor, that's the only job I consider," James said boldly. Sirius patted him on the back.

"Very well…" the Transfiguration professor answered, "Ms. Evans, the same for you?"

"Yes, I still want to become a Healer after Hogwarts," she said.

"Good, it looks like the both of you won't be having a problem with those handcuffs then," she gave a rare smile to the two Heads. James beamed back. She handed them their schedules.

"Mr. Black, you also are taking same subjects as Mr. Potter, am I correct?"

"Only the correctest!" Sirius replied with his smile that ninety percent of the Hogwarts' females loved. Professor McGonagall was not part of that ninety. She sighed and handed him his schedule.

She continued through the group before heading back to the High Table. The group compared their schedules. All of them (except Peter) had the same subjects so all (except Peter) had the same schedules, as they were delighted to see. They all ate, some more then others (Sirius and Peter), and headed to their first period class, Charms, while Peter had Care of Magical Creatures.

All of the teachers had the same speech the whole day… N.E.W.T.'s. By the end of the day, Sirius and James were whispering what the teachers said were about to say. It was overall, a very boring day. Lily had a lot of thinking time during her classes. She thoughts the wizard sitting next to her, about her future after Hogwarts, her best friends who were sitting next to her, some more about James Potter, her parents and their safety, her sister and her now husband, and even some more about James Potter. They haven't fought since the first day and she was glad. She could easily see them as friends in the near future. But, how long would they remain friends? She remembered how close they were to kissing just yesterday. Since James deflated his head, he had become a much better person, a lot less annoying and egotistical, actually. He was a person that she could get along easily. The bell rung, disrupting her thoughts, and they all stood up and headed to dinner.

In the hallway, Sirius started skipping backwards, with a big smile on his face, "Yes! Dinner!" He paused his celebrating to stretch his back and arms, "No more cramped desks!"

"We still have classes tomorrow, Padfoot," James said, laughing as Sirius paused and walked towards James and breathed in.

Oh dear, Lily thought, I hope this isn't a replay of what happened yesterday…

But thankfully, Sirius clasped onto James' shoulder and exhaled, "Prongs, my best friend, we need to live life as it comes. Don't worry about what comes next, actually don't worry at all. We'll deal with it as it comes!"

Everyone paused, with their eyebrows furrowed. Sirius was actually correct.

"Whoa, Padfoot," Remus said, eyebrows rose into his sandy hair, "did you just have an epiphany?"

Sirius didn't answer; he just continued walking to dinner.

"Sirius is strange; I'll give you that," Alice commented.

"You've only just met him, trying sharing a dorm with him for nearly seven years," Frank said, lacing his and her fingers together. Alice looked up at him and smiled.

Aww, they are so cute together, watch them get married! Lily thought in her head.

They are so going to get married after Hogwarts, if only Lily could see that we could be that kind of couple… James thought at the same time.

At that, their fingers awkwardly bumped into each other. James considered holding her hand, you know, just so they would stop bumping into each other… at least, that's what he'd insist. But Lily beat him to it. She grinned at him with a faint blush on her face. He grinned back and he felt genuine happiness. Lily grabbed his hand!

The group of Gryffindors eventually made their way down to dinner and began to eat. Soon enough they finished and as they were getting up to leave to the Common Room, Severus Snape started to head towards the Gryffindors.

"Don't look now, but here comes Sniv- Snape," James said, eyeing Snape walk across the Hall.

Lily turned around, her eyebrows creased. Why the Godric is he walking over here. Disgusting slime ball…

Snape walked with a purpose straight to Lily. "May I have a word?"

Lily looked at James who shrugged. The gesture was not missed by Snape, who sneered, "What? Do you need Potter's permission to go talk to an old friend?"

Lily looked at him with an annoyed look on her face and was about to answer when James answered coolly, "Since you are obviously blind, Snape, me and Lily are handcuffed to each other, he would have to agree to come with, and not to hex you, you git."

"Oh," was all Snape said.

"I guess we can have a word," Lily replied, still her tone annoyed.

"Alone?"

"I am handcuffed to her, Snape. We can't get them off. Dumbledore put them on himself," James said, slowly, as if he was talking to a five-year-old.

"Let me see them," Snape said, interested.

Lily and James raised their enchanted handcuffs, and Snape examined them. He tapped his wand a few times on the chain, but nothing happened. If anything, they shone a brighter white. He frowned upon them, and muttered to himself, "No, it can be."

"What, Snape?" Lily asked.

"If I'm right, these handcuffs won't come off unless…" he trailed off and shook his head.

"Unless what?" James now asked interested.

"Nothing… I can talk to you another time, Lily," Snape said, and with that he walked out of the Hall and presumably to the Slytherin's Common Room.

"That was strange," Lily said after a while.

"Well, that's Snape for you," James said as he sighed, "What do you think he was going to say?"

"I've got no clue," Lily said, "I was actually going to ask you. Maybe we could research them?"

When James didn't immediately answer, she pressed, "We have no homework," she continued, "And I haven't been to the library since last year!"

James grinned his crooked grin that made Lily's heart skip a beat, "I was going to yes anyways; it's been bothering me too."

There were dozens of books scattered on Lily and James' table. They could not find any success in the hours they've been researching.

Lily picked up a large yellow book, titled, Charms for the Good Humoured, and handed it to James. "Here, read this, maybe it has something.

James answered, "Charms for the Good Humoured? Well, Dumbledore does have a sense of humour…"

James scanned through the index with Lily was occupied with a fat blue book.

Amusing Charm…page 54

Appetizing Charm…page 109

Applause Charm…page 81

James traced his finger to the H's

Handcuffs…page 79

Excited and surprised that he might actually have the answer, he quickly flipped the book open to page 79. He scanned over the passage quickly and re-read it, this time slower. He couldn't believe it. Dumbledore put this charm on us? He obviously knew the way to get it off…what we have to do… He really does have a sense of humour then… I don't think I should tell Lily…

"Did you find it?"

James paused, should he tell? It was now or never…

A/N: Hello, hehe, this was sort of a cliffy, I think. Well, what do you guys think? Is James going to tell Lily? What exactly do they have to do? Tell me your predictions with a review! Oh, and I just started a drabble collection, check it out(:
