Lily rolled her eyes, she was eating breakfast with James and his friends when some Slytherin second years walked in with blue skin that clashed horribly with their house colors.

"Electric Blue? That was genius Sirius!!" James said high-fiveing his best mate. "I'm thinking next time we mess with their hair" he added looking back over Sirius' work.

"Hey Lily what's wrong?" James asked when he noticed that Lily was not laughing alone with them.

"Nothing" She said. In reality, she hated it when they put her on the spot like that. Everyone knows that they did it and what does she do, give her own boyfriend and his three best mates detention?

"But I am telling you we need to do something big, something truly memorable" Sirius was telling Peter, who was nodding along.

"Lily what is it?" James asked knowing that something must be bothering her.

"Yes Lily flower tell us all about it" Sirius said in a baby voice. Lily just rolled her eyes and mumbled something about going to the library and left the table.

"What is going on with her?" Sirius said. James just glared ay him, while he didn't know what had gotten his girlfriend upset he knew that Sirius' childish antics were of no help.

"Lily, come on, it doesn't take a genius to figure out who pulled the prank. The teachers don't have to depend on you to discipline them, don't worry that will get their punishment." Mora said trying to reassure her friend.

"They must know what kind of position they are putting me in" Lily said exasperated. Mora just rolled her eyes Lily had said that about ten times, and that was just since the last time Mora told her how many times she had stated that.

"Lily come on, it was a prank, annoying: yes; childish: yeah; funny: a little bit; but life threatening or even in any way serious: not at all" Mora said getting up from the library table.

"Lily, you knew that they were like this, it was something that you loved and hated about all four of them, especially James, since first year. You are dating a prankster who is slowly growing up but is still obeying the child in his heart, you will have to deal with that or try and change who he is, and that is something I neither suggest to try or even think of doing"

Mora said as she walked away leaving a bewildered Lily to sit at the table stunned by what her friend told her; yet, at the same time knowing that she was completely right.

James smiled as he saw Lily enter the common room, she had been avoiding him since that morning and he knew that she had no where to run. Remus was now in front of the portrait, Sirius and Peter were blocking the stairs to the girls' rooms and now James was closing in on Lily.

"Lily, how are you?" James asked as he got closer and saw Lily look around.

She was trapped, she checked each direction and saw Mora join Remus to help them trap her in to the common room.

"Umm… James we need to talk." Lily said walking towards the couch. James just stood there next to the couch looking down at her, he was worried: this was not the reaction he was expecting. He thought she would be angry that he blocked her in, or at least still be angry from that morning. But there she was sitting on the couch with no expression on her face; that was the scariest thing to James.

Lily looked up at James, he was standing there like a child about to be yell at. She felt sorry it was not really his fault that she got angry that morning, it was no one's fault really.

"James I'm sorry about this morning" Lily said. She could actually see him let out the breath that he had been holding since she first sat down.

James relaxed and sat next to her, he patiently waited for her to continue trying not to interrupt her.

"I don't know why I got so angry, I know you guys were just having fun. I thought that I would have to give you detention, and hearing that you were planning yet another one made me worry about if I would have to be the one to get you in trouble."

James had to stop himself from interrupting her, he never wanted her to feel like she was stuck in-between being his girlfriend and her position at the school.

"But I know that you never meant to make me feel this way; and I know that I am making this a bigger deal than what it is. I just…. Well I …."

Lily stopped. She didn't really know what to say. She didn't want to ask him to stop his pranks, it was something that she loved about him; that he was still a playful child at heart, but she didn't like feeling like she had to run after him cleaning up his' messes.

James looked at her, he didn't know what was going threw her mind, was she trying to break up with him, was she wanting him to stop with all the pranks, what was it that she wanted. He started to say something but stopped and just picked up Lily's hand lacing her fingers with his own.

Lily looked down at her hand. She had been in love with James for a long time, probably since first year when he made fun of her bright red hair and she told him he was stupid. She knew that she would never change him; because she never wanted to.

"What I mean is this: I don't want to know about any of your pranks beforehand, and don't include me in them. But other than that, fly free" She said smiling. She knew that she loved him for who he was; not something that she could mold him in to being.
