Sorry it's been so long. But my season's over now so I'll start writing again.

James

Chapter 28

Todays the last day! Im so glad that today is the last day. Well, at least until Christmas break. Im so glad Lilys family is coming. Not just because I like Lily but because I like her parents. They seem like they really care about her. Especially her dad. I wish my dad would be like that with me. At least I have my mom who loves me.

It was the last full day before Christmas break and James was sitting in the common room with Sirius. Remus was in the Shrieking Shack right now. It was his last day and then he would be able to go back to Hogwarts to spend the Christmas Break. Sirius was going to stay at Hogwarts too. He didnt want to leave Remus by himself. James had offered both of them to come with him but they declined.

AIm leaving tomorrow, James said. AI hope you guys have a Happy Christmas.

AYeah, same here, Sirius replied. ASo, is Lily really going to your house?

AYeah. It really was my mums idea.

ASure. I believe you, Sirius said sarcastically.

ADont you dare imply that I really would try to get my mum to do something like that. James got up and was about to leave through the portrait hole but before he left, he turned to Sirius and said, AIm not that manipulative. He gave a wicked little smile and left.

Christmas break. Everybody who was leaving was excited. Lots of presents were ready for them at home and the students were dying to get away from the teachers and homework. The halls were filled with Christmas decorations and other items. It made the halls light up with beauty and magnificence.

James was waiting on Lily with Sirius and Remus. James was being really impatient because Lily was taking FOREVER.

"How long does it take to bloody pack!?" James asked. He wasn't really asking Sirius or Remus but to himself.

"She's a girl," Sirius replied," she probably brought so many clothes that you wouldn't even be able to imagine."

"Either that," Remus added, "or she actually folded her clothes, unlike someone else we know."

"Well I didn't think it would take her this long," James finished.

"It only took me five minutes, chill out," Lily said. She was just walking down the steps. She was changed out of her school uniform and wore a royal blue skirt and a white shirt. James couldn't keep his eyes off the skirt, though. It was the shortest skirt he has ever seen. Although, before that, the shortest skirt he saw was on his Aunt Telly but that skirt was down to her knees. This skirt was half way down her thigh. She walked up to James. "James, my eyes aren't on my thighs."

"Sorry! I've never seen a skirt that short."

"You need to get out more. These skirts are the style in the muggles' world."

"Maybe we should have Christmas at your house," he said jokingly. She sniggered at that.

"You guys better get going before the train leaves without you," Remus said responsively.

When they, Lily and James, were walking down to the station, they saw Malfoy sneaking behind the train. They gave each other a glance and knew what the other was thinking. They went to follow him and see what he was up to. When they got there he was just exchanging some candy with another kid.

After they had walked away, Lily said, "We have got to be less suspicious about him."

"Why? He's not going to be less mean and cold hearted." They were getting onto the train and walking down the corridors trying to find an empty compartment.

"Because one of these times we are going to get caught and personally I don't want to be a part of something like that."

"Well then don't be a part of it."

"Well I don't want you to be a part of it either." He stopped.

"Did you just show a little bit of concern for me?" He asked sarcastically.

"Yes." He looked at her for a moment. "I'm aloud to show a little compassion and concern for others. Do you have a problem with it?"

"No. Just asking." They continued to walk down the hall. "Here's one."
