James reached the door that said "Sixth Year Girl's Dormitories" James
turned the handle and opened the door with a creek. he reconized Lily's
trunk and headed over to her bed. He drew the curtains to reveal for the
second time that night a sleeping Lily Evans. James sat on the end of the
bed, and placed his hand on her shoulder. " Lily wake up, I have something
for you get up" James said softly. Lily opened her eye's and was suprised
to see a hadsome James Potter grinning back at her. " James" Lily said
shocked. " What are you doing in here do you know what time it is... you
could get in trouble." Lily rambled on. " Shhh.... Your owl just brought
you this letter so I thought I would be soo kind and bring it to you."
James said smiling. " But if you don't want I'll just go" James said
getting up. " No don't go... just give it here" Lily replied.
James kissed Lily good night and left for his own bed. Lily looked at the
letter strangely, she tore opened the paper and read....
Dear Lily
Hi Lils, it's Mom, we've all missed you so much. Your father and I decided it would be best for you to come home for the holidays, as I need you here. Your sister is always grouchy, I think it's because she misses you. Well see you then when Christmas break starts, it's only a two week vacation so you'll be back with your friends in no time. Love you forever Mom.
Lily read the letter again. She was dissapointed she wouldn't be staying here at Hogwarts with James for Christmas, but seeing her family again would be nice, but she doubted her sister missed her. Petunia could nver even stand Lily because she has always been jealous of her. Lily put the letter aside a laid her head down to sleep. The next morning was a Saturday Lily told James all about the her new Christmas arragements, he was sad but he knew that it was good to spend time with your family, even though James would much rather fool around with Sirius. ~~~~~~******~~~~~ A fortnight had passed and Lily was waving good bye to all her friends and made her way down to the to the entrance hall with the other students who were leaving for the holidays. James met Lily downstairs and gave her a hug and a small peck on the cheek goodbye. Lily was going to miss James but he seemed to be okay with the prospet of her leaving. 'Oh well maybe some time off from each other was not a bad idea.' Lily wondered. Lily boarded the train, and found a compartment to herself. The train departed from the station, and Lily driffted of to sleep.
When Lily awoke she noticed the train had stopped, she peered out the window to see her mother and father waving furiously at her, Lily had also noticed that Petunia didn't look happy to see her at all, infact she looked down right mad. Lily stepped out of the train, and lept towards her parents. She opened her arms wide and hugged her mom, and her dad. "missed Christ Lily your so much taller" her father noted. " My little darling, you look more beautiful every time I see you." Her mother cried. Lily was happy to be home. When they pulled up to thier modest size old country home, Lily began to sigh, she just relized how much she mas at home it was so cozy. Lily, her parents, and Petunia went inside. The house smelled of pine tree's, cranberry's, and her favorite Christmas treat Candy Cane's. The rest of vacation leading up to Christmas went by fast, it wasn't till christmas morning that Lily had thought of James. She missed him terribly, she missed his hugs, and kisses, but most of all she missed those long nights infront of the fire so warm and snuggly. Lily was awoken from her trance by her sister Petunia. " Lily get are you going to get up it's christmas" she said with a scowl." I coming I'll be down in a moment" Lily moaned. Lily pulled on her house coat and raced down the stairs to join her family. Lily opened her first present from Angela her best friend from school. It was a book titled how to win his heart by: Gildroy Lockheart. Next She opened her parents present it was new dress robes, and a gift certificate for Zonko's joke shop Lily's favorite store in Hogsmade. Harry searched for James present. She found it underneath a bunch of wrapping paper. She grabbed the box wrapped in gold paper, and ruby trimming. She carefully undid the parcel to reveal a shinning necklace. The necklace shone like the golden sun, the was also a shinning stone that had a pinkish glow to it. Lily was stunned she new her boyfriend had good taste but this was surprising. There was a note inside: My Dearest Lily. This present meant so much to me because it reminds me of you. The golden shine, reminds of your soft lips. The pinkish stone, reminds me of you glowing cheeks. The necklace itself, represents are ever lasting friendship. Love always James. Lily was surprised how come she never knew James was so romantic. Lily felt hot burning tears of happiness run down her face. Lily opened the rest of her presents and thanked everyone.
Later that night Lily asked her mother if she could return to Hogwarts earlier. her mother understood her daughters feelings and promised she could return tomorrow. Lily ran upstairs to write James, but decided that suprising him would be much more fun!
The next day Lily boarded the train back to Hogwarts. " Bye mum, Bye dad! I love you... Thanks again." Lily shouted from the moving train. She was so excited to be returning to her Jamsie, she only hoped that he to would be excited to see her. The train ride felt like forever and as it chugged along Lily feel asleep.
James was still enjoying his presents from yesterday in the Gryffindor common rooms with Sirius, but Sirius had his mind on other things, GIRLS!!! Sirius had asked James many times if he wanted to go find some girls with him, but James being loyal to Lily always said no. The last few days before Christmas though James had other things in mind. He knew Lily was going to be away for a while and he just thought he try someone new. Later that afternoon James and Sirius decided to go look for some girls. It wasn't heard the great hall was flooded with people, James was nervous, but all to soon Sirius had hooked him up with someon. 'How does he do it.' James wondered. James nerves fled when he was sitting in the common room alone. He was more scared than nervous. Sirius had hooked him up with Lexie Waters a very pretty fifth year from Ravenclaw. They were sitting on the couch nearest the fire where he and Lily always sat. She leaned in and kissed him, James was surprised of how odd it felt kissing another girl, it wasn't the same but he kissed back anyway.
Lily's train had finally stopped and she could see Hogwarts through the fog. There was a carriage there to take her up to the castle, she was surprised at how excited she was to see James. She practically hopped out of the carriage, and skipped up to the common room. Lily met the fat lady and as usual she said in a dull voice " Password" "Zonko's" Lily said excitedly. The portrait swung open, and what Lily saw inside turned her stomach up side down. " James" she cried and ran away.
