Lily was glad to finally be back at school. Nothing had gone as planned over the holidays, and Lily was still very upset about her fathers death. At first, Lily didn't think she could carry on. She stayed up in her room hiding under her sheets, but doing nothing almost drove her insane with thoughts. Lily couldn't stand being at the house with Petunia ignoring her. The words Petunia had said were plastered in Lily's mind, but being back at school gave her something else to focus on. She concentrated on her schoolwork and patrolling duties, and her friends. The months seemed to fly by, and it was nearly April. They were still playing the Slytherin's, although Peter was growing tired of his double spy role.

Like it had been predicted, Ledaria came snivelling back to Peter saying she was wrong and wanted him back.

Peter played the part well, he acted completely smitten with Ledaria and fed her false information Remus and the others made up. Sirius had a riot making up false information; he seemed to have the time of his life.

"Sirius, that's too far fetched," Ellie said, laughing richly at something Sirius had suggested Peter say. They were all in the Head's common room, devising more plan tactics. Peter laughed at it as well.

"Yes, but Ledaria would totally fall for it. She's so dumb, she thinks she's smart but honestly," Peter shook his head, wondering how anyone could be dumber then he was.

"Guys, we've barely gotten anywhere with this. We haven't seen or heard about the so called plan that Lucius has," Lily frowned.

"Peter, it's time you started digging for information," James instructed, agreeing with Lily. "This has been carrying on too long and we've still gotten no where."

"I can do that," Peter said, taking a gulp of air in. "I just hope they don't find out. What would they do to me?"

"Don't worry about that Peter, they're just wanna be Death Eaters," Ellie told him, patting his arm gently, her golden hair falling over her shoulder.

"I bet there isn't even a plan," Marlene said, snuggling against Remus.

"Alright guys, we'll meet again next week," James said, standing up. He noticed that Lily was looking a little more then exhausted, and figured it was time for everyone to leave.

"Oh, I see how it is mate," Sirius joked, getting up and taking Ellie's hand.

"See you guys tomorrow!" Lily said, smiling slightly as Sirius tackled Peter on the way out.

"Peace and quiet," James sighed, falling onto the couch beside Lily. "How are you holding up?"

"Better I think…some days I feel great, and then other days…" Lily trailed off. James nodded, understanding completely.

"The best medicine for me was Sirius, he really helped me get through it," James told her.

"Yeah, he does have a way of making people laugh," Lily said, smiling at the thought of one of Sirius's idiotic jokes.

"Hey Lil, I'm thinking of something that would be truly amazing," James grinned, looking at Lily with puppy-dog eyes. "Let me take you out tomorrow."

"What do you mean?" Lily asked, smiling.

"I want to take you out on another date, maybe to that Muggle town to catch a movie or something." James replied, taking her hand. "We both could use some time away for a little while."

"I'd love to James, but I've got so much homework as it is," Lily sighed, she really did want to.

"Please Lily? You can catch up, I've seen you in extreme homework mode before," James begged. "I really want to do this for you!"

"All right James," Lily laughed. She thought it might be fun, seeing a movie with James and going out to dinner. Lily couldn't remember when the last time she saw a movie was.

The next evening, Lily prepared herself for her date with James. She dressed in muggle clothes; tight black jeans and a causal shirt. She did her makeup, just to fit in the muggle world.

"Lily? Are you ready yet?" James questioned, standing in the doorway. He was wearing blue jeans and a sweater, and looked very comfortable in them.

"Yes James, I'm ready." Lily replied, grabbing her coat off her chair. She stood up and brushed the curls from her face.

James smiled at her, she looked so beautiful. She had done something to her hair to make it curl, and her eyes seemed…bigger. Tonight, James planned on making Lily forget all about her troubles. That was what he would concentrate on, Lily's happiness. It was all that mattered to him, and she had been so down these past few months. Recently she had received a letter from Petunia requesting that Lily not go to the wedding, it had broke Lily's heart but she did as Petunia wished.

"You look amazing Lily," James told her, pulling her to him for a kiss. "We're going to be late for the movie." Lily smiled, thinking her James was so sweet. He was her rock, steady and strong.

"Alright, let's go then," she laughed. They slipped under the Invisiblity cloak and headed towards one of the many tunnels out of Hogwarts that James knew about. Nearly an hour later, they emerged into the dusk of a Muggle town.

"I think the threater is down the street a bit," James told her, taking her hand. He had left the Invisiblity cloak in the tunnel, knowing it would be safe. Lily nodded and they started walking. "Simon really likes it at Hogwarts," James commented, smiling at Lily. It had been a great idea to get her the kitten, she played and cuddled with him often. James knew that pets also helped the healing process.

"Yeah, that cat has so much character," Lily said, shaking her head and smiling. Simon was an interesting cat…he pranced around as if he owned the entire school, and was hardly ever around. But if Lily shead one tear, Simon was by her side in an insant.

They spotted the threatre and headed inside, joining the rush. Muggles were in line to get tickets and they were in line to get snacks at the snack bar. James was pleased, the crowd would take Lily's mind off things.

"Two tickets to see Star Wars," James said when it finally became their turn. The attendant at the ticket booth lazily took their money and handed them the tickets.

"Theatre number four," she drawled, barely looking at them.

"Do you want some popcorn, Lily?" James questioned. By now the line had completely vanished, as all the movies were starting.

"Sure," Lily replied. They ordered their snacks and headed to theatre four.

Lily didn't really like the movie, it was weird and whoever directed it must have eaten a peanut butter and crack sandwich.

"That movie was awesome!" James said when they came out of the theatre.

"You liked it?" Lily asked, dumbfounded. James nodded eagerly.

"Are you hungry Lily?" James asked, spotting the cozy little Italian restaurant.

"Um, the popcorn filled me up. How about we go for a coffee?" Lily suggested. James looked at her questionably. "Coffee, it's a muggle drink."

"Oh, yeah sure," James grinned. He wraped his arm around her waist as she directed him to the nearest coffee shop "This is great," James said after trying his first cup of coffee.

"Don't drink to much of it," Lily said, amused.

"Why not?"

"Because it will make you wired, its caffine," Lily answered, taking a delicate sip of hers. She glanced around, taking in her surroundings. The coffee shop was comfortable, it had the poetic atmosphere with it's black leather couches and arm chairs gathered around a stage where poetry was probably read.

"Caffine huh? I like this caffine," James said thoughtfully. He watched Lily as she looked around. She looked comfortable…relaxed. Most importantly, she looked like she was enjoying herself.

"Well James, we better get back to school," Lily said when they had both finished their coffee. James looked at his watch, it was nearly eleven.

"Your right, let's go," James said. They took their time walking back to the tunnel, holding hands and joking around. James couldn't get over how beautiful Lily looked.

"Thanks for this James," Lily told him once they had reached the Heads common room. She stood up on her tippy toes and kissed James.

"Are you staying with me tonight?" James questioned.

"It depends, will I get any sleep?" Lily replied, arching an eyebrow.

James laughed. "I'll let you sleep tonight, don't worry."

"In that case, alright," Lily nodded, following James into his room.

"Star what?" Ellie questioned, looking thoroughly confused.

"Star Wars, its this Muggle movie that everyone's crazy about in the Muggle world," Marlene replied, painting her toenails. They were up in the girls dormitory, listening as Lily relayed last nights events.

"James is so sweet," Alice declared. "He noticed you weren't feeling to happy, and he went out of his way to make sure you were having a good time."

"Yeah," Lily nodded, smiling. "I don't know what I'd do without him, he's my rock."

"You know, we only have a few more months at Hogwarts," Ellie said, glancing around her. "I'm sure gonna miss it here."

"Just think, one day our kids will all be going here, having adventures of their own," Alice said, dreamily thinking about it.

"They'll probably all be friends," Ellie giggled, thinking of how close they all were.

"I can't wait to marry Frank and start a family with him. I don't know how I'll do it all, theres so many things I want to do!" Alice told them, sighing. "I want to start my Auror training right away, but Frank and I also want to start a family. Times like these, we can't take our time."

Lily nodded in agreement. "If only there was some kind of force," she added.

"What do you mean?" Marlene questioned.

"A force to fight of Voldemort and all his followers." Lily replied, shrugging. "I don't know. I had this dream we were all in one, like a team or something."

"Like super heroes?" Ellie giggled at the thought of them all decked out in tights with serious expressions on their faces and letters on their shirts.

"Not super heroes Ellie," Lilly rolled her eyes. "Normal witches and wizards..,"

"That sounds cool," Alice agreed. "If only there were such a thing."
