(Time: Night before the date)

James POV

I was sleeping... had the most awful dream as well. It was lovely from the start... Me and Lily were having the most lovely date in the Sreaking shack and then suddenly full moon came and Moony appeared (I must miss him) and then he transformed into a werewolf. I became a stag to protect her, but then Snivellus came and pulled her out and then she said "Oh, Severus you are so much braver than him" she pointed at me and hugged him and Snivellus just gave me an evil grin and I-

I woke up, couse someone was shouting. It was dark outside, what was going on?

"HARRY!" It was Ron. He was shaking a very sweaty, pale Harry. He looked really sick. He rolled over and vomited all over the mattres. What happened. I looked at Padfoot. He looked like he was going to vomit to. He didn't stand it. I shook my head and gave him a 'don't you dare vomit' look. He gulped.

"He's really ill" said a scared Neville "Should we call someone?" I didn't know what to do, to be honest. It was scary. Harry started to get up, taking great gulps of air.

"Your dad" he panted "Your dad's been attacked"

"What?!" said Ron.

"Your dad! He's been bitten it's Serious, there's blood everywere"

"Did anything happen to me?" Padfoot asked, I shot him a glare and ran towards Harry and Ron.

"I'm going for help" Neville said and ran out.

"Get McGonnagal!" I yelled after him and turned back to Harry.

'Harry, mate,' said Ron uncertainly, 'you . . . you were just dreaming"

'No!' said Harry furiously. I took a step back, it looked like he was going to explode. 'It wasn't a dream . . . not an ordinary dream . . . I was there, I saw it . . . I did it . . .'

I could hear Seamus and Dean muttering I looked at Padfoot and he nodded. He stepped between them and smacked them.

'Harry, you're not well,' I said shakily. 'Neville's gone for help.

'I'm fine!' Harry choked, wiping his mouth on his pyjamas and shaking uncontrollably. "There's nothing wrong with me, it's your dad you've got to worry about - we need to find out where he is - he's bleeding like mad - I was - it was a huge snake." It was getting scary now.

He tried to get out of bed but me and Ron pushed him back into it; Dean and Seamus again started whispering and Padfoot grabbed them by the collar and threw them out of our dorm. He hasn't got a temper old Padfoot doeswn't. Harry simply sat there shaking, then there were hurried footsteps coming up the stairs and Neville came in, followed by a worried McGonnagal in her tartan dressing gown, her glasses perched lopsidedly on the bridge of her bony nose.

'Over here, Professor.' Neville said.

'What is it, Potter? Where does it hurt?' McGonnagal asked him.

'It's Ron's dad,' he said, sitting up again. 'He's been attacked by a snake and it's serious, I saw it happen.'

SAW!? What did he mean by that?' What do you mean, you saw it happen?' said Professor McGonagall, her dark eyebrows contracting.

'I don't know . . . I was asleep and then I was there . . .'

'You mean you dreamed this?' 'No!' said Harry angrily. 'I was having a dream at first about something completely different, something stupid . . . and then this interrupted it. It was real, I didn't imagine it. Mr Weasley was asleep on the floor and he was attacked by a gigantic snake, there was a load of blood, he collapsed, someone's got to find out where he is . . .'

Professor McGonagall was gazing at him through her lopsided spectacles as though horrified at what she was seeing.

'I'm not lying and I'm not mad!' Harry told her, his voice rising to a shout. 'I tell you, I saw it happen!'

'I believe you, Potter,' said Professor McGonagall curtly. She does? But it's not possible! 'Put on your dressing gown - we're going to see the Headmaster." Harry did as told and McGonnagal turned to Ron "You better come along to Mr Weasley" she said and they went. How odd. "Well that was odd" Padfoot said.

"Yeah I'm going to bed" I admitted.

"Yeah, you should" Padfoot said. I looked at him confused. He would never say that "You need your beauty sleep for tomorrow" He explained. The git! I threw a pillow at him and he laughed. I rolled my eyes and went back to sleep.

Lily POV

I got up at 8 AM in the morning. There was something going on today. What was it already?

"Good morning" Hermione said. I looked at her.

"Morning" I replied.

"Ready for your big date?" she asked. So that was that. Oh dear.

"Well i guess so... I dunno really"

"I bet it's going to be perfect." She said and I smiled, but I wasn't sure. Do I love even love James? Did I even had feelings towards him? "Come on let's get down to breakfast, we need to get you ready!" Hermione half shouted and pulled me out of my bed and practicly dragged me to the Great hall. We sat down, next to James and Sirius. Where were the others?

"Er, where are Ron and Harry?" I asked.

"And well all the Weasleys?" Hermione added.

"It's quite a story to be honest" Sirius said.

"We woke up in the middle of the night." James explained "Harry had this odd dream-"

"He saw the Weasley dad attacked by a snake" Sirius cut him of. I looked at Hermione. Her face was in shock.

"But it was only a dream" I said confused.

"Yeah, but it looks like it happened. McGonnagal believed him and all the Weasleys are gone" James said. He had a point.

"Is Mr. Weasley alright?" Hermione asked.

"We don't know..." Sirius said.

"Probably at Mungos" James said, trying to sound confident.

"Anyway er... Lily" I looked up "What do you think if we meet at 12 at the Entrance hall?"

"Yeah sure" I answered, taking some toast and putting some butter on it.

"Brilliant" he said. I smiled. He can be kinda cute at times. We started talking about some different things. I was surprised, that James only mentioned the date once. I was sure he was going to talk and talk and talk about it, but he didn't. Maybe he did change. It was 10.30 and me and Hermione decided to go back to our dorm.

"We need to get you ready!" Hermione sang.

"But it's only 10.30 Hermione. I still have an hour and a half" I whined, not wanting to get up.

"But you have a date" Hermione insisted and opened my closet "You must look extra beautiful!"

"OK" I said getting up. I was kinda excited "What am I going to wear?"

"Well" Hermione said, looking through my closet "Nothing much, considering that James likes you like you are..."

"OK..." I urged her.

"Well these jeans look lovely" she said throwing my dark jeans on my bed "And... this jumper, it matches your eyes" And my blue warm jumper, with patches of white, landed on my bed. It did look quite nice. I looked at Hermione, who wasn't done yet. She really was excited.

"You can also have this necklace" she got my silver necklace out of my bag "And your white boots" she took my white boots and placed them next to the bed. "You'll look lovely in this!" she said and I agreed.

"Now, go and take a shower!" she ordered.

"But I took a shower yesterday evening, does my hair get greasy that quickly?" I asked. My hair, that bad... over night?

"Don't disobey me" she snapped "And no, your hair still looks lovely" I laughed and went to the bathroom. I took a shower. As I came out, Hermione grabbed my arm and pulled me onto a chair i front of the mirror.

"Now, don't complain and let me do the magic" she winked.

"Okay" I said and she started of by making my hair look nice. She used a couple of spells and soon it was dry and not as straight. It was wavy and looked quite nice.

"What do you think?" She asked me.

"Lovely" I replied and she smiled.

"Why don't you go and get dressed and don't worry about the hair, I put a charm on it, so you can't mess it up. I smiled and picked up my clothes, Hermnione laid out, entered the bathroom and changed. I came back out. Hermione looked at me and smiled.

"You look wonderful Lily" she said.

"Thanks Hermione!" I said, I couldn't deny, she did a very good job.

"And it's 11.10 already" Hermione said "And you still need make-up!" I sat down again and she pulled out her bag. Soon I was ready. Hermione was delighted and we went to the Entrance hall together, where James was already waiting. I hugged her.

"Good luck!" she whispered.

"Thanks" I whispered back and move forward to James, who didn't look that bad either. He was wearing a nice black t-shirt and a pair of jeans. But his hair was as messy as always! Classic James.

"You look lovely today" he said and I smiled.

"Thanks!" I said and added "You don't look that bad yourself" he grinned.

"Where do you want to go today?" he asked. I gave it a thought

"I dunno to be honest" we started walking toward the carriages. "Where do you want to go?"

"Oh, I don't really mind" he said "We could go for a walk around Hogsmede and go and have something to eat and well... that's all I can think of"

"It sounds lovely" I said and it really did. As long as he won't do anything stupid, I might enjoy this date, much more than I thought I would. We entered Hogsmede. It was quite chilly outside, but it didn't bother me to much.

"So..." James said "Quite odd, being in the future, don't you think?"

"Yes, I quite miss my friends and everyone." I admitted.

"Yeah, me to" James said "I wonder how Moony is doing without us..." he broke of "with just Wormtail for company" he added, why do I feel, like the Marauders have some sort of secret?

"James, why does Remus dissapear once a month?" I asked. He looked at me.

"Well his mother is sick... listen Lily sorry I don't know the dets and even if I did, it's not my secret to tell" I nodded it was true, if Remus didn't want people to know about his mother, they shouldn't and James was a great friend, not letting it happen.

"It's odd, what happens, I mean everybody kind of suffers at the end" James said. I looked at him.

"Yeah..." I agreed "What do you think happens to Marlene and Alice?" I asked him.

"I dunno, someone probably lived through the war happily"

"Yeah they are probably fine"

"But let's talk about something more lighter, than suffering" James suggested "What do you want to do, after Hogy Hogwarts?"

"Oh, I dunno... auror or healer... I'm not sure yet. You?"

"Auror, like my parents" he said proudly, just like the first day I met him on the train. "Though I think I'll join the order as well" he said.

"Order?" I asked.

"Secret society" James explained. "It started not long ago and it's working against Voldemort. Dumbledore's the leader" I nodded.

"Look, I can't believe it!" James yelled with excitement. I looked at him confused "This cottage well... we found it in ruins and rebuilt it, then we put a charm on it, so it didn't fall apart again. It's quite nice in there. Wanna come?"

"Alright sure" I said. I opened the wooden door. It was, to my surprise very cozy and nice in there. There was a sofa and two armchairs, which were around a wood-burning stove and a table in the other corner. James opened the stove and casted incendio. The fire started and it became warmer immediately. I put of my coat and sat on the armchair, while James lit the candles.

"You did a good job" I said, trying to make conversation.

"Thanks" James said, who was done with the candles and sat onto the sofa. "It took us three month for the furniture and everything"

"Wait, how? I mean it's not like you were there every day." I said confused.

"Well we kinda were" James admitted. I gasped.

"What? How, with all these enchantments you couldn't of done"

"Well, we didn't go through the front door Lily" he rolled his eyes "Do you think our nigh time strolls were just for fun? We came here, by using secret passages."

"You-you did?" I asked amazed.

"Yeah, if you want we can go home through one of them"

"Er..."I didn't know what to say. It did sound cool, but...

"You can make up your mind later" he said "Now, I'm hungry! Dobby!" he called and an elf appeared with a basket in his hand. I gasped. I hated people using house elves. It just wasn't fair.

"Mr. James, Miss. Lily, Dobby is so happy to see you!" the elf named Dobby said happily.

"I wanted to get the food, but Dobby insisted to bring it, when I want" he explained and I nodded feeling better.

"Dobby must go now sir goodbye" Dobby said and disappeared. James put the basket onto the table. I sat down. We began eating. James was really sweet and funny. How did I manage to not see that James for five years? We talked and talked, even though we were so different, we were very alike to. We sat down on the sofa together. I was full! James by the looks of it was to. I lent against his chest and he put his hands around my waist.

"I had fun today James" I said and looked at him. His hazel eyes were looking at me. I was smiling and so was he. I never felt like that before. I felt butterflies in my stomach, I felt james's warm hand on mine, I felt the most wonderful feeling of love. And before I knew it our lips met...
