The school recovered from the deatheater attack, the ten Deatheaters within the school were expelled and sentenced, but nothing could be one, they were still minors. Sirius was in a foul mood, Bellatrix was after all his cousin.
"Hey! Sirius, calm down. It's not you who's an arse, alright; it's some cracked up bitch who has eaten up everything she's been told." James said one night as the two of them sat down by the fire in the Gryffindor common room.
Sirius grunted, then shook his head and rubbed at his eyes with his fists.
"Cracked up bitch indeed." He grumbled then got up, bidding James a good night, and went to bed. James sat in the silent common room, before sighing and leaving to get to the Head dorms.
He crawled into the head common room to find Lily sleeping on the red sofa, facing the flames, casting an orange glow over her pale skin. James grinned and lifted Lily easily, he walked towards her room and pushed the door open with his foot and lay her down on the queen-size bed. He removed his arm from beneath her small body and started to leave the room.
"You better not leave me here all alone." Lily muttered half asleep still. She moved slightly making more room for James and grinned, eyes still close.
Days became shorter and colder and soon Lily found herself sitting on James' lap on the Hogwarts express, going back home, as she called the Potters home.
Lily hugged Bridget when they arrived on the platform and Christmas went by smoothly.
And too soon they were on their way back to school.
"Hey Lily." Morgan said smiling at the blissful redhead. "So how was your Christmas?"
Lily shot James a look grinned then looked back to Morgan.
"Sleepless." Lily said causing Morgan laughed.
"Lovely, just what I want to know, my best mate is getting some and …" Sirius trailed off. "Ah no all is good, I'm getting some too." He said cheekily, slapping Morgan on the arse.
"So it seems like I'm the only guy here not having sex." Remus said from behind his book. Lily winked at Morgan.
"I'm sure Katie will help you, won't ya Katie." Lily said suggestively.
Katie blushed, and hid behind a magazine.
"Where's Peter, I'm sure if he were around you wouldn't be the only one not having sex, Remus." Alice said offhandedly.
"Ouch Alice, that was catty, I love it." Lily giggled, receiving a poke in the side from James. "What?"
"That's our friend thank you very much." James said somewhat defensively.
"Well you know that we girlies think he is creepy, and he's hardly ever around anymore, and we're never mean to him, actually we're quite nice, remember I help him with his homework, it's not my fault." Lily whined.
James shook his head.
"She's right though, Wormtail hasn't been around much lately." Sirius said.
"It's probably because he doesn't exactly fit anywhere." Remus said from behind his book.
"What do you mean?" James asked.
"Well, first off, you and Sirius have your girlfriends now. Second, he's not quite reached our level intelligence wise. Third, he's never quite been as popular as you and Sirius. Four, its Peter, he's never been quite normal." Remus said putting his book down and looking at James and Sirius pointedly.
They nodded in agreement, what Remus said was true.
"But still though, he's mean to be one of our best mates. Why ain't he around?" Sirius said then shrugged.
After a pause James turned to Lily.
"We're going to have to plan graduation." James said Lily groaned.
"Don't remind me, and we also have to pass our N.E. or your mum will kill us." Lily said.
Lily enjoyed her time at Hogwarts and was dreading the time when they would have to leave; unfortunately it was drawing closer, as were the Newt ExamsIt felt like a few weeks before Lily found herself sitting down in the great hall and scribbling down everything she could remember.
After the Newt Exams there was a large party, and Lily and James gave up patrolling the corridors, and decided to enjoy their last days at Hogwarts.
