RECAP:
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.
--
Lily was elated with all her surroundings. Never had she been so happy to see all the people in her life that made her smile. There for her. "What? What's all this?"
"Well you see Lilykins. Since we kinda missed your actual birthday, we decided to throw you a surprise party." Sirius explained coming closer to give her a warm hug. "Surprised?"
"Yes! Very. Thank you." Lily smiled. She loved Sirius deeply. He was like a brother to her.
James smiled at his best friend, "Great job mate! It looks great."
"You mean great job to me and Lish. Cause he didn't do much but complain." Megan laughed.
"Wow, this is amazing!" She looked around.
Alisha grabbed her one of her many best friends in a hug. "Of course it is. How else would it be?"
"You guys are amazing!" Lily laughed. "Well, let's get this party started!"
"That's what I like to hear from my ladies!" Sirius yelled, sweeping across the room to give Lily a hug. "And to my future sister-in-laws!"
"Sirius!" Megan cried.
Everyone just laughed at his antics. After going to school for seven years with him, they knew that him saying something was expected.
--
Soon the party was in full swing and for one night it felt as if for once in the young teenagers lives they were normal, with no threat of a great dark wizard coming after you. Just for once that they could be careless and have fun.
James pulled Lily in for a time to dance. "So I decided that when we get back I'm giving you your present."
Lily blushed. "But you've already given me so much. I don't need anything else."
"Well you should of said that before." James teased.
Lily smiled leaning up to give him a soft kiss. "You're the best."

All of the schools students showed up, except Slytheryn, of course. First the first year students soon began to disperse since they had the earliest curfew and were to scared yet to sneak around the castle.
By the time the father clock on the back wall struck midnight only fifth year and up were still seen in the room. The atmosphere felt relaxed. Most people by this hour had paired off and were sitting on the various couches scattered across the room together. Lily looked around her at her surroundings. Not for awhile had she been so happy, and carefree. She turned her attention to the boy in her arms. It was all because of him. He brought her joy that she thought she could never feel again. Not after everything that had occured that fateful night two months ago.
A shiver rose in Lily's arms.
"You okay?" James asked with concern.
"Couldn't be better."

The next morning brought many groans from people dragging themselves out of bed, to head to breakfast. Many had barely had any sleep, but were in dire need of filling their stomachs.
Slowly the great hall filled with the students of Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. Laughter and chatter of how everyones night went filled the room, making it more welcoming as each second ticked by.
The gryfinndor table was a bit sparce during the early hours of Sunday, since most the seventh years knew where the kitchens were and had a plan to just raid them when necessary.
Lily slept in late. She had not had a good night sleep in awhile. But after returning from her party. James had insisted on staying up to give her the present he had bought.
As she woke up she smiled, thinking of the early hours in the morning.
"Just give me one second. I needa go get it." James ran up into his room. "Don't you dare move a muscle missy!"
Lily giggled as she sat down on the love seat. She sighed thinking of how perfect the night turned out.
She looked up as she heard thumping coming from James' room. "What the bloody hell are you doing up there?"
"Oh my broom just fell outta the cupboard." James laughed.
He sat across from. "So you, my dear are very hard to shop for. But then I realized exactly what I wanted for you."
Lily smiled as James produced a small jewelry box.
"I just want you to know your always in my heart. And that I'm here for you. Through everything that comes our way." He opened the box to show a thin white gold ring with three diamonds. Two small on the side with a larger one in the middle.
"James!" Lily gasped. "It's gorgeous."
"It's a promise ring." James felt his hands go sweaty as he took out the ring. "I promise you that I will love you to the day I die and into my grave. Your my one and only flower in my life."
Tears weld up in the red heads eyes. "Your my one and only James! I love you." She let James place the ring on her finger before pulling herself closer to him. "You truly are the only man that can take my breath away."
James held onto her like he was afraid to let go. "I love you." He whispered.
Lily smiled as she pulled him into his room. "I love you too."
As the memory passes through Lily's mind she curled up beside James, feeling his toned stomach. One of the many things she loved about the Head Boy was the fact he played quidditch. It was an added bonus.

Megan smiled to herself as she woke up. She had fallen asleep with her dress on too tired to bother taking it off.
"Hey Lish!" She called to the heap of human across from her. "Wake up!"
"Guuu rwoyy."
"What?" Megan laughed getting up. "What'd you say my lovely?"
"I'm sleepy."
"Awe poor baby. But I'm hungry so get your butt outta bed! Before I get water!"
Alisha rolled over. "You're mean."
"Love you too. Now get up and get dressed, I need food."
--
James smiled as he felt the heat radiate off of Lily's body as it came into contact with his own. "Hey babe."
"Mornin'."
"Sleep well?"
"Mmm. Much better. You?" Lily asked looking into his hazel eyes.
James kissed the tip of her nose. "Amazingly."
--
The day was spent with most students lounging around not compelled to do anything. Some finished up the some homework, while others slept. It was a day of rest and revival.
Only getting up to use the facilities or grab something to eat at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Outside was crisp with the beginnings of spring approaching. The few eagor students could be found outside building snowmen and having the occasional snow ball fight.
Though most chose to watch the few brave souls out on the grounds.

A/N: So I've been in a writers block. For a very long time. Nothing comes out right anymore. I'm trying. But I don't think this is very good work. We'll hopefully get back into the swing of things.
Anywho.. REVIEW PLEASE! Inspire me to write! :) :)
