"What?" James asked looking up at Professor Morrison during Arithmancy.
"I asked you if you need a pillow to make your daydreaming experience more comfortable." he blazed.
"Oh no I'm good thanks!" James replied and he heard giggles and a snort of laughter from Sirius. He glanced furtively at Lily who was scribbling something down on a sheet of paper. She looked up and he caught her eye and smirked. She grinned a wide grin and winked at him and continued to scribble what she was writing. She didn't blush like every other girl did. She just did what she always did. James sighed loudly and went back to his day dreams of he and Lily.
*~*~
The spring sun tumbled through the windows and danced gleefully on the opposite wall. It wove it's way into Lily's hair as she walked slowly up to the common room. Suddenly from behind she heard the soft tune of music she turned around and she saw James leaning against a window singing softly.
"Hey where did we go? Days when the rain came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you," and where Van Morrison would have sung 'Brown eyed girl' James sang " My green eyed girl, you my green eyed girl!
"Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mine With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My green eyed girl, You my green eyed girl!"
He moved off the wall and grabbed her hands and started dancing he leaned down to her ear and sang "Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da?" he twirled her around and her robes spun around her ankles.
"So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My green eyed girl You my green eyed girl!
He leaned down once again and sang "Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da?" and she sang along. They danced and twirled and at the end of the song James put a hand on her chin and kissed her softly. His arms wrapped themselves around her back and they moved to the grooves of "Moondance."
*~*~
James walked around the lake on a particularly cold day, the wind whipped around his face staining it pink. His hands were shoved deep into his pockets, playing with some extra knuts.
"James! 'Ello James?" he heard the sweet voice of Lily and turned around.
"Oh hello Love." he said looking down at her.
"What are you doing?"
"Walking, thinking you know 'deep' stuff" he laughed at his own joke.
"Oh, well, don't think to hard wouldn't want you getting hurt so close to graduation."
"Hardy, har, har, your quite the character Ms. Evans."
"Ahh but that's why you love me!" she replied cooly grinning up at him.
"Who ever said I love you?" he retorted laughing slightly.
"You!" and she turned and walked away.
*~*~
Life in the castle was new and exciting for the couple... but graduation was now days ahead and they had to get ready. Finals and the dreaded exit exam was practically knocking on their doors, not to add in Lily had a speech to read at graduation. But they handled it and soon it was the eve of the big night and Lily, James, and the rest were scattered tired around the common room. Sitting in big chairs, or on the comfy couches either that or sprawled nonchalantly on the ground around the fire.
"So what are we all up to after graduation?" Sirius asked yawning mid-sentence.
"Well, I'm off to be an aurora" said Charlie grinning.
"Yeah me too!" echoed Ernie.
"I'm going to work in Diagon Alley and maybe open my own robe shop. You know for teenagers and stuff." Answered Louise.
"Remus and I are gonna try and open a joke shop in Hogsmede." said Sirius, answering his own question.
"I'm not sure" Lily and James said at the same time.
"Well, well, our little couple!" Sirius joked.
"Uh huh... and I don't see anyone at your side." Lily retorted scornfully.
"Oh you'll see" snickered Sirius looking at Louise making her blush scarlet.
*~*~
"Another group of seventh years, exiting the castle to go on to bigger and better things" Dumbledore said sadly. At the last few words the Slytherins snickered into their goblets. James face grew hot with anger.
"Going on, I would like to present to you all the graduating class for 1979!" he grinned, eyes twinkling.
The entire seventh year stood up and threw off their black pointed hats and cheered. Sirius whooped loudly, Remus laughed face bright with happiness. Suddenly Van Morrison's song "Jackie Wilson said I'm in heaven when you smiled" blared on magical speakers. James hopped onto the Gryffendor table and scooped Lily up and they danced and soon the rest of the class was dancing with them.
*~*~
"Lily will you come with me outside?" James asked timidly.
"Um, okay let me grab my coat." once she had they walked outside, fingers intertwined.
When they reached the lake Lily sat down on an ivy covered rock and James knelt down at her feet. The stars glowed and twinkled in James blue eyes as he looked up at her.
'Lily Rose Evans..."
"Yes James Patrick Potter?" she asked smiling.
"Will you do the tremendous honor of granting me your hand in marriage?"
"Oh James, I... I... OF COURSE!" she yelled and cried for joy.
James lifted her in the hair and twirled her around. He set her down and drank in her happy expression. She was wearing a strapless cream colored dress, along the top it had tiny red roses with tiny green leaves. On the hem tiny lily's were sewn in white. He hair was tied into a tight knot at the top of her hair and tiny wisps fell around her face.
James was dressed in dark blue dress robes, with dancing broomsticks on the hem of the sleeves and the bottom. He leaned down ever so slightly and kissed her.
A/N*Oh jeez! That took me awhile to get out SORRY SORRY SORRY!*
