There's no school this Monday, so I have more time on this for now. This chapter will mainly be about the Hogsmeade day spent, I guess? Disclaimer was up first in the second or third chapter, I remember.

Chapter 11

Even though James had not blabbed to the whole school about whom he was going with, some people still found out. It was once after lunch that Snape went up to Lily, then dragging her out to a more private place.

"Did he force you into it?" Snape asked.

"Of course not. If he were, how come I wasn't with him all these years?" Lily answered.

"Well, then, why? Of all the people… What about -?" The me had gotten stuck in Snape's throat. He voice had a very jealous edge in it.

"He seems to be losing his arrogance. Around me, at least. Maybe my being with him will benefit him! And, besides, I should give people a chance, rather than take somewhat lasting impressions. That's what Ginny told me."

"Give peoples a chance? But then, what about… some other people? Did you ever consider that there were people who liked you as more of a friend, and were better characters than Potter? People who were worthy of you? Wait, drop that last statement." Snape did not think he was worthy of her, but he still craved.

"What are you going on about? Who likes me?" Lily was a girl, and not the thick kind. She knew that Snape liked her, just realized it. But if it were really true, she wanted Snape to just flat out say it. She thought of Snape as the uncared for, lonely boy. But then she remembered the dark friends he hung out with, and was not sure if he would be a good choice.

"Uhh, what? I don't know, I think I imagined it on some people passing?" It was easy to tell that he was making stuff up, because of the questioning voice he used it in. Snape was meanwhile thinking to himself, 'why don't I have the guts to just say it!'

"Okay then, if you won't admit who, or rather, it, then I'll best be going." Lily left.

Snape gaped at her leaving form. ''It?' Does she know, and pretend not to?'

The day came. It was in reality not much, just I day to hang out. However, the aspects of Lily spending the day with him made James think of it totally differently. After all, they'd probably just be talking the whole time.

James found Lily in their common room, and they went to Hogsmeade together. They settled at The Three Broomsticks, simply because it was a nice place to sit and talk.

"So, um, discussion time. What should we talk about?" Lily asked.

James decided to ask a question that he was unsure of, hoping that she would answer it. "Why did you decide to give me a chance, after all?"

"Well, uhhh, at first because Ginny told me to. But then, I thought it over. If it didn't work, I could always leave you like I did before. But it has worked. Your behavior now makes it worth it to be with you, someone who could possibly have a future with me. The previous you would have been a definite no." Lily told him.

That was long to James, who had not expected such a lengthy answer. As he slowly processed what she said, he remembered the 'possibly have a future with me.' He turned to stare at her through the eyes, and asked, "I really have a possible future with you?"

"Well, since, uhh, your behavior, like I said. I did believe at first that you had good looks, and I still do. But I would not let looks turn me into making a wrong decision. It's the personality that matters."

At this point, James could not have been happier.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ginny were having their own time together. They walked, hand in hand, not even caring about the puzzled expressions on the Hogwarts students' faces. "Who cares what they think? We have each other, plus them three." Ginny whispered into Harry's ear.

"What do you want to do?" Harry asked her.

"I don't know, share another kiss? We've only had one so far here, and it's almost the whole school year." Ginny told him.

"Shouldn't we do that in a more private place, where people can't gossip?" Harry asked.

"Nah, who cares if we're the talk of the week about our relationship? The purebloods would just be hypocrites. And, I can't stand to wait the time it would take us to go to another place, so just here, now, please." She said.

"Okay." They leaned in, and their lips met. As they (lips) moved accordingly to the other, Ginny's tongue brushed Harry's lips. In response to this, Harry opened his lips a little, while also letting his own tongue through. His hands were hugging her, as were hers. One of each of their hands were in the other's hair.

While this was happening, Harry's thoughts traveled the first time the had kissed. The memory of it was very vivid; the one after the quidditch game when he was 16. That was nice, considering that he did it without even having to think, and also because he could finally let out his emotions toward her for the whole year.

A crowd had gathered around them. The people who didn't know they were supposedly siblings smiled at their intimacy, and felt happy for them. The appeared, and were, very passionate. However, the Hogwarts students all were surprised and revolted at the idea of a brother kissing his own sister so fiercely, and vice versa.

After a while, Harry and Ginny finally let go. Looking around at their surroundings for the first time, they noticed the crowd. 'Uh oh,' Harry thought. He looked directly at a bystander and said, "We'll just, umm, go…" He grabbed Ginny's hand and led her out.

Once there was no crowd, Ginny said, "That was great! Now, let's go discuss some other things." They began talking about how to move further into the Lily plan.

"I know! True, this is plain evil, but… How about we trick them into some small room, a random closet, and lock it. But not just that. I can put a spell on it that won't make it open unless they kiss, on the lips!"

"Wow, Ginny, does a spell like that exist? 'Cause otherwise, people would just tell their friends to do it on them and someone they fancied. That would be too easy."

"It's not really a spell. I could just point at the door and think of what I wanted to do to it in my mind, and then my wand'd do it nonverbally. So yes, it probably actually is a spell. I just don't know the incantation." Ginny said.

"Don't nonverbal spells usually work when one is thinking the incantation in the head, not what it will do?" Harry questioned her.

"Yeah, but it does work my way. So should we do it?" Ginny asked.

"Okay. It's not like they're going to get hurt or anything… James would be willing, and even though Lily will probably not admit it, she secretly would be willing too." Ginny said.

"So, we just look for them now?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, so do it." Ginny said back.

Wandering through the places, they found them at The Three Broomsticks, having a happily animated conversation. Harry thought to himself, 'I should of where they'd be instead of wandering around – it's obvious that they'd be here."

"Hey, you two! Enjoying your time?" Ginny asked.

"Yup. It's the best day in my life." James said dreamily, somewhat like Luna.

Lily looked at James and was thinking, 'I say we have a possible future, and now he gets all dreamy. He even said that it was the best day of his life…'

"Would you care if I interrupted to take you two somewhere? Y'know, a quick stroll. Us four. You two can spend more time together after we have a chat." Ginny said.

Harry and Ginny deposited the other two at a closet they had found near the quidditch shop. After they all heard the lock click shut, Ginny said, "This is not the regular type of lock in. It's charmed so that the only way for it to open is for the occupants in it to kiss on the lips! So if you want to get out before starving, you know what to do." she said triumphantly.

James and Lily looked at each other, both embarrassed. Then, for about five seconds, their lips touched, and then slowly left each other. The door opened.

Outside, Harry and Ginny were both surprised that it opened so quickly. They smiled, and Harry said, "Well, Lily doesn't hate James anymore. She didn't yell or screech, because we would have heard. And even if she did, but softly, then she wouldn't have been able to cause the door to open so quickly."

Once James and Lily came out, they went back to Hogwarts, since it was starting to be late. All four of them were happy, for about the same reasons.

[end chapter]

Should I include a part where Death Eaters attack, and the five Potters save them all? Whenever I read that stuff in other stories, I get all annoyed. But I was thinking that it could fit here, especially since the five couldn't get hurt.
