RECAP:
James kept on making side glances at her. "Lily, what... What's going to happen after we graduate?"
She stopped walking. "What do you mean, James?"
"Are we... Like what's gonna happen between us?"
Lily put her arms around his waist. "Well if I have any say in it. We'll be together. You made a promise to me. And I'm hoping you won't break it any time soon."
James smiled and pulled her closer. "I love you babe."

"Okay so since we never really did anything for Lily's birthday. I think we should throw her a huge party" Alisha told her friends. "Something that she'll remember. And something to take all our minds off of things."
"Oh my god! We should do it as soon as possible. I need to get my groove on." Megan laughed.
Sirius swung his arm around his girl. "I totally agree with Megs here. We need to do something that we haven't done in a long time. PARTAY! And we'll get everyone but the Slytherins of course. No one wants them there."
"Yeah. But where should we have it?" Remus asked being the voice of reason. "There's no place in the school, well besides the great hall that's big enough to hold everyone."
"Well, there is that one place." Megan said looking into her lap. "The room of requirement."
Sirius and Remus exchanged looks surprised that the girls knew about that room. "Well, the only thing with that is that afterwards, everyone will know about it and where it is. Do we really want that?"
Alisha bit her lip. "We could always like put a memory charm around the door, so when people leave they forget where the party was located, like they still remember the party and who was there and what not. Just they don't remember where it was."
"That's an excellent idea." Sirius smiled. "My girls, you're becoming more like the marauders everyday."

Lily sat beside Megan in Transfiguration the next day clueless as to what was being taught. Lately she had been spending most of her time with her friends, putting off doing her work, which was very unusual for her. Her mind just seemed to be somewhere else. Everything just seemed to stand still when she was with her friends, while doing work made her realize more and more that she was to be graduating in a few mere months.
She sighed looking out the window. Today was one of those days where you just couldn't seem to concentrate on anything other then the nice bright sun outside. She turned back to McGonagall determined to get back into her usual mode of being the top of her game.
--
James watched as Lily kept on looking out the window, wondering how he had been able to snatch her. It still amazed him the way she would look at him, with adoring eyes. She was truly the most beautiful thing that he could imagine.
"So do you think that Lily will go for this whole party idea?" Sirius whispered to James.
James shrugged. "Yeah, she's loosened up a lot since last year and such. How the hell am I supposed to get her down there though?"
Sirius rolled his eyes at his naive friend. "Just tell her that you want some 'alone' time with her."
The two best friends laughed. "This will be good, right?"
--
Alisha and Megan wandered down the hallway gossiping as girls often do. "Yeah, so James and Lily seem to be VERY close, hey."
Alisha giggled. "Oh yes! I'm really happy for them. They truly deserve each other. Thank god Lily finally gave in, I don't know what I'd do if we had to put up with James for another year."
"No kidding, hey. Oh well, we've all seemed to find someone this year. Funny how that seemed to happen hey."
"Yeah and the fact that they're all best friends. It's slightly weird. But I wouldn't have it any other way."
"No doubt, Lish. No doubt."

The week seemed to drag by slowly, but surely. Finally it was Friday. The day of Lily's late surprise birthday party. During the week the group had decided that they were just going to make it one huge birthday party for all of them. Kind of like a big blow out for the spring. Yet they still decided to make it a surprise for their red-headed friend.
James had talked to Lily the day prior and had asked her to meet him in the common room at 7o'clock, so that they could spend some time together, alone. Lily still had not clue as to what was going on.
--
Lily sat in her room at twenty after six deciding what to wear. She wanted to wear something special and seductive at the same time, showed her body, yet wasn't trampy. It was tough being a girl.
She skimmed through her wardrobe until she found exactly what she was looking for. It was her favorite green dress her mum had bought for her last summer, which she had never worn before. It was a forest green, similar to her eyes. The top was haltered, and ran tight down in mid section, shaping her body perfectly, then it puffed out near the bottom and came just below mid thigh.
Lily walked over to her body mirror and examined herself. 'That will have to do.' She thought.
Next she worked on her hair, using her wand she made it stick straight and pulled back the front of her bangs, making a bump on the top of her head. Now all she needed was some make-up. Lily was never really one for a lot of make-up. So she just put black eye liner on to make them stand out more and some silver sparkles on the creases of her eyes. She grabbed her blush brush and put some pink blush on and finished with clear lip gloss.
Just in time she thought. It was 6:59. She headed downstairs to see James pacing back and forth across the room. "What's wrong hun?"
James jumped, startled at her voice. "Oh nothing. Just thinking is all."
"Wanna share?"
James smiled at her with his crooked smile. "Just about you."
Lily's knees melted below her. "Oh you James Potter."
"What?"
"I love you."
--
The two lovers strolled down the corridor, heading in a direction of where Lily was unsure of.
"Where are you taking me, kidnapper?" She teased him.
James just squeezed her hand. "Don't you trust me?"
Lily giggled. "Not when your taking me into the dungeony area."
He simply rolled his eyes at her. "Oh my flower. Your so cute." Stopping James pulled her in between the wall and himself. Lily was quite pleased to oblige and ran her fingers up his arms into his hair. His weakness.
Both pulled the other closer to them. "You know." Lily said in between kisses. "We could always just go back to the heads room."
James stopped and leaned his head against the wall above Lily's shoulder. He had to stop to contain himself. "Honey, we have all night. I want to go. This is a special night."
Lily pulled herself to hug him tight. "Oh James Potter, have I ever told you how much I love you?"
James looked at her in the eyes. "Have I told you how much I love you?"
She kissed him lightly on the lips. "I don't deserve you."
James smirked. "Of course you do."
--
Megan paced back and forth in front of the entrance. "They were supposed to be here two minutes ago!"
"Megan, honey. Come on its James and Lily, together. They may take a few extra minutes to... You know." Siruis laughed grabbing for her hand. "Calm down a bit will yeah? Please."
Megan looked at Sirius. "Oh your right. What am I doing pacing here? I'm so like, just.. I don't know."
"It's all right babe. Just calm and relax. I'm here with yeah."

Alisha sat with Remus on the coach. "How can everything be so perfect?"
"I don't know. It's pretty weird. But nice. For once." Remus shrugged.
"It really is, isn't it?" Alisha smiled. "I couldn't ask for anything more."
Remus pulled her back into him. "Neither could I."
Alisha snuggled into his arm. "I'm scared to graduate though. It feels so real. And scary. I can't believe its already happening."
"I know same. It feels to soon."
--
Lily and James walked down the corridor to the room of requirement.
"Your taking me to the room of requirement?" Lily smirked. "What do we require exactly?"
James smiled. "Oh nothing." He opened the door revealing all her friends.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled.
