"Okay, okay, I get it would you please let me go!" James said looking at Lily. She had pinned him in a chair because he had tried to get her to talk to him. Her face was flushed with anger and her green eyes glinted with something unknown to him. She slowly opened the fist that held a handful of green robe. "Sheesh second time today!"

"Take a hint Potter..." she said the words dripped with sarcasm.

"And if I don't?" he asked looking angelic.

"Then there will be no wittle Potters running around" she said in a baby voice.

"Didn't know you had this odd fascination with my... ahem... well" he looked down and shook his waist.

"Oh... you have a pair?" she asked eyes wide.

"Wouldn't you like to see"

"Oh yes James.. Please do me the honor!"

"Whatever you say!" he picked her up and started up toward the dormitories.

"PUT-ME-DOWN!!" she shrieked.

"What ever you say!" he said and dropped her at the top of the stairs, and he made his way down to the common room. But before he knew what was happening Lily was on him and he tumbled down the stairs. The rolled down and crashed onto the floor below.

Panting James huffed "Wow Lil, didn't think you felt that way about little old me!"

"Oh didn't you know?"

*~*~

Lily tossed and turned in her bed that night. The sheets were wrapped tightly around her legs as she dreamt.



*The Dream (ooo ahh)*



The sea frothed with every crash against the sandy beach. She involuntarily shuddered from the cold because she wasn't dressed in much. What she was wearing was a thin blue-green dress with a plunging neck line. The bottom was torn and frayed from the rocks she was walking on. Her feet were bare and bloody from the jagged edges rocks covering the beach she walked. Up above her on the stony cliff was a light house, it's light scanned the ocean around it as the black clouds of a storm closed in. Lily knew she had better find a warm place to be soon or she'd be swept out to sea. She decided the light house would be a good place to stay the night so she climbed clumsily to the top of the cliff and banged the door with her fist. She heard feet inside stumbling down what sounded like a flight of stairs. Finally the footsteps ended and the doorknob turned. Standing in front of her was a teenage boy of her age with black hair, blue eyes, and glasses. She gasped and said in a hushed voice, "James"



*End of Dream (ooo ahh)*



Lily sat straight up in bed, her breath was broken and caught in her throat. She knew what the dream meant. First the clouds meant incoming danger. The lighthouse was the guiding light and the man inside was her guiding light. She also knew what she must do. She got up and wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and made her way towards the boys dormitory. She knocked loudly and saw Remus' handsome face answer the door. "What do you want Lily?"

"Can you please get James?!" she asked in a voice so urgent Remus didn't even look at her oddly (though it may have had something to do with the fact he was too tired to think quite the same.) James pulled some sweats and a sweatshirt on before coming out to meet an odd sight.

"Err is that you Lily Evans?!" he asked voice full of uncertainty.

"Yes Potter it's the famous Lily. I really need to talk to you." she looked so scared and broken up James yearned to comfort her but held himself back and then walked down to the common room.

"So what's bothering you?" she explained the dream through and through and about what it all meant. When she was done he looked at her and understood. She needed him for the future. There would be some fight and she would be fighting. She needed him.

"Earth to James!" she shook him fiercely and he snapped out of his trance.

"Lily, I think that your going to do some fighting in the near future and I think your going to need me. No matter how much that repulses you it's true."

She merely nodded and got up to leave. But before she left she pulled him into a hug and thanked him.



*~*~



The next morning was Monday and Lily made her way to Professor Dumbledore's office followed by James who insisted he was needed too. Upon arrival James had to tell the gargoyle the secret password (Gumdrops) before it stepped aside.

"Professor?" Lily asked uncertain of her actions.

"Yes Lily, how can I help you?" he asked from behind his huge mahogany desk.

"Er.. Professor I had a strange dream last night..." she went on to explain the dream. "So you see Professor, I think that I will be faced with danger soon and James is the only one who can help me."

"Well Lily, your right about that. Have you heard of Lord Voldermort?" both the teenagers shook their head.

"Well his true name is Tom Riddle. He is a muggle born from a small town just outside of Hogsmede and he is a growing threat. You see he wants to conquer the Magical Community along with the Muggle World with his brand of dark magic. We have been receiving word over the past year his aim is a pair of enemies who will turn into friends and further more, turn into lovers. That my students is you. You see you two hold a great amount of power which will strengthen in time as you love does. You look bewildered now but it will happen. I suggest you remain close to one another until I can get further information on the whereabouts of Tom. Now I think it's breakfast time so go on now scat!" he smiled and pushed them out the door.

"Come on! Let's sneak into Hogsmede it's such a beautiful night!" Sirius was once again trying to get them to go into town with him.

"I'll go!" James offered.

"I will too" Peter squawked.

"Yeah come on let's go in I'm tired of the same ol' castle." Charlie said.

"Fine"

They hurried quietly to the ancient one eyed witch statue and whispered th password. They soon found themselves in the main street of Hogsmede Village. Sirius was right it was beautiful. Stars twinkled happily in the velvety black sky and the moon hung smiling down on them all. Ernie and Charlie left to go to the Joke Shop with Remus and Peter. Louise and Sirius hurried off somewhere unknown leaving Lily and James behind.

"Come on Lil let's go to the Three Broomsticks."

"Fine I guess" she answered sulkily.

"GOD WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" James shouted in exasperation. "I'm sick and tired of the attitude can't you just be normal? Huh? God dammit Lily, am I such a bad guy?" he glared down at her and she saw his eyes water.

"WHAT? Do you want me to kiss your feet and gawk at your ass?! What do you want with me?! Do you..." but she never finished her sentence because his lips had stopped everything else from coming out.
