Right, whoever said that 5.8 was tall for a girl, I know. I just realised what I'd put it was supposed to be 5.1, so thanks for noticing :}

This is really short I know but I need to do the next bit in a different chapter, so this is just finishing off the last one.

I hope you like all this & again, thank you so much for anyone who reviewed...

Lily and James spent the evening wondering around Hogsmeade under the protection of the invisibility cloak. They visited Dervish and Bangs, Honeydukes and Zonko's, leaving money in the tills.

Eventually they wound up walking towards the Shrieking Shack. They were huddled together under the cloak. Lily was only wearing a vest top and James a school shirt.

"Do you want to go back?" James asked her, his arm wrapped protectively around her tiny waist.

"Mhhm, maybe." She shivered.

"Come on..." James pulled her tightly to his chest and turned on the spot. They landed perfectly outside Honeydukes, where they crept inside and down to the cellar.

James pulled her down through the tunnel and they walked silently.

"What time is it?" Lily wondered after about a quarter of an hour, rubbing her eyes.

"Half past two..." James laughed "We stayed out a tad later than we were meant to be doing duty for."

"You've had a bad effect on me Potter."

"As have you Evans."

"Making you work for once in your life isn't a bad effect." She laughed, hitting him lightly.

"Oi!" He wrapped his arms around her waist and tickled her while she shrieked with laughter.

"Get...Off...James!" She smiled up at him and he winked, dropping his arms.

Rolling her eyes, she grabbed his arm and pulled him up the remainder of the path.

James pulled out his invisibility cloak and they hid beneath it, creeping up to their dormitory. When they reached the lily imprinted on the wall, James let them both in and they walked up the wooden staircase slowly, taking their time.

"Well, good night then Evans." He grinned his crooked grin at her and, much to her dismay, a little bit of her melted.

"Goodnight James." She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Thank you for tonight."

He just shrugged "It's what I'm here for."

They both smiled, before turning around and walking into their bedrooms.

Lily headed straight for her balcony, opening the glass door. She leant over the rails and closed her eyes as the icy breeze woke her up slightly. She knew what was happening to her, and the worst bit was; she didn't want to stop it. She'd fallen for James Potter, and she didn't know how long it would be before she had to admit to herself that it wasn't just a crush.

Perhaps it would take a month, perhaps it would take a year, it could even take a century, but she knew it was coming, and when it did, it would hit her hard.
