"Welcome students!" Dumbledore said in a loud booming voice. "Nothing much has changed from last year. We are going to be adding a few extra ciricualr events to our schedule. I'm sure you will enjoy them all! We will fill you in more as they come closer. Enjoy your meal!" Their plates were filled with food. Studetns all over the great hall began eating the feast before them.

"Mhh. The house elves outdid themselves once again!" Sirius proclaimed on the way back to Gryffindor tower.

"It's good to be home" Sam said once stepping inside. Hogwarts had become a second "home" to all of them over the years. Just has they had become each others families.

"Anyone up for chess?"

"I am Remus!" Sam said.

"Let's play then!" Samantha and Remus sat down to play chess. Sirius and Maggie said they had to go plan something. This left Lily and James alone.

"Do you know what the extra ciricular events are this year James?"

"Yup. Do you?"

"Yup." Lily cuddled closer to James. "It told me in my prefects letter. You?"

"Same."

"I'm tired." Liyl yawned.

"For once, me too." James replied. Lily laid her head on James' shoulder, he put his head on her head. They quickly fell asleep, their heads filled with happy thoughts.

"Aw, isn't that cute." Remus said once he saw Lily and James. Samantha also spotted them and smiled.

"I knew it would come someday, I just didn't know it would be so soon. How long do you think it'll last?"

"A year, maybe two, maybe forever."

"I could imagine Lily and James as a married couple with kids." Sam replied. Remus thought about this for a minute and laghed.

"I wonder what they'd be like. Lily and James are compelte opposites in almost everything from their looks to their personality."

"It would be funny." Sam agreed. "Not as funny as this though."

"What's this?"

"Checkmate!" Sam said happily.

"Why you little-" Remus began to tickle Sam.

"Help me Maggie!" She cried out. Maggie and Sirius tunred to see their friends in somehtign that looked somewhat like a wrestling match.

"No thanks." She replied. "It's more fun to watch."

"Oh, really?" Sam challenged.

"Yes really." Sam stopped briefly and shot Remus a "are-you-thinking-what- I'm-thinking" look. He was. Sam began tickling Maggie and Remus Sirius. Lily and James saw all this from a distance and decided to stay hidden, they were both very ticklish.

"Sorry to do this jAmes, but I'm really tired. I'm going to head up to bed."

"That's all right Lily. WE should all be going to bed about now anyways." James kissed Lily on her forehead. "Good night Lily. Sweet dreams."

"Night James. Sleep tight." Lily took one last look at her crazy friends before going up to bed. James finished some of his homework and also went up to his dormitory. James was beginning to worry a little about Lily. She had seemed really tired lately, unlike her old self. He decided to ask Sirius about Lily when he came up to bed. Just then, he heard Sirius and Remus coming up the stairs. They were still laughing and seemed to be discussing something.

"Hey Sirius?" Sirius and Remus stopped talking and looked at their friend with concern, he sounded hurt.

"Are you ok James?" remus asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just wanted to ask you guys about Lily.

"What about?"

"Well, does she seem a little, I don't know more tired and less Lily lately?" remus and Sirius pondered this for a minute.

"Now that you mention, she did seem a little less spunky on the train today. Snape would usually have at least a black eye after what he did to Lily today." Remus said. James cringed remembering the way Servus had acted.

"Remus is right James." Sirius said. "She did seem to fall asleep a lot at your house. More than usual I mean." James, remus, and Sirius discussed whatever Lily's problem was and came to a conclusion.

"So we'll keep a close eye on her for a while, and if it seems like something is wrong we'll ask her about it, right?" Sirius asked.

"Right."
