A/N: I'm sorry if this chapter took too long. I was busy with New Years and everything. Ok well, this is the last chapter of this fic. I just want to say thanx to all the people who have reviewed this story and thank-you so much for being nice in your reviews and not totally bashing me about how horrible this fic was. This story came out totally different then how I planned it to come out, but at least I finished it.

Disclaimer: I don't own a thing. Well, maybe the plot, but that's about it. Everything belongs to JK Rowling.

1 Christmas

Lily woke up on Christmas morning with all sorts of thoughts going through her mind. I wonder if James will like the present I got him. Wait! Why do I care if James likes the present I got him? I really don't care if he likes it. Ok ok, I'm lying, maybe I do care a little.OK I CARE A LOT! Geez. By this time Arabella had woken up and was sitting on her bed unwrapping all her presents. She looked at Lily and smiled.

"Wondering whether James will like your present or not?" She asked Lily opening a box of Chocolate Frogs she got from Remus and shoving one whole into her mouth.

"I am not!" Lily said. Ok, how did she know that? I think Bella's a mind reader. Lily thought to herself.

"C'mon Lils. I know that's what your thinking. You've been sitting there ever since you woke up and haven't even opened any of your presents." Bella said like this was the most obvious thing in the world. "Just admit you like him. It'll be easier on everybody." She said.

"Oh fine! I like James!" Lily practically yelled. Arabella smirked evilly.

"I told you that you liked him." She said. "Now open your presents before I go over there and open them for you." Lily went to the end of her bed and started to open her presents. Sirius gave her some Chocolate Frogs. Remus gave her some Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Arabella gave her the cutest little teddy bear she had ever seen and her parents sent her some money for her to get whatever she wanted. There was one more present at the bottom of the stack. She looked at it and realized that she hadn't got James' present yet. She bent down and picked it up. She hadn't noticed that Arabella was staring at her waiting for her to open the present. Very carefully, Lily took of the wrapping paper that she knew James must have wrapped himself. In the paper was a tiny box. She opened the box and inside was the most beautiful locket she had ever seen. On the front it had an engraved picture of a lily. Lily turned it over and on the back it said, "James and Lily forever." She almost started to cry, but she didn't. When she opened it there was a picture of her and James in their sixth year, smiling and laughing. Lily looked closer and saw that James would glimpse down at her and blush. She also noticed how her smile stretched across her face. Lily closed the locket and held it in her hands. Then happy tears started to come down her cheeks.

"Bella." She said and Arabella was at her side in a second and hugged her.

"I told you he liked you." Bella said smiling knowingly. Everything suddenly clicked for Lily after that.

"You knew about this. You dragged me away from them when we went to Hogsmeade so he would by this for me didn't you?" Lily said shocked. Arabella just nodded her head smirking. "I can't believe you knew about it and you didn't tell me." Lily said laughing. They were both laughing in a matter of seconds. Lily was so happy that she couldn't wipe the smile of her face even if she wanted to. Meanwhile in the boy's dormitory.

**********************

James was up and unwrapping presents with Sirius and Remus. They were all pretty happy with what they got so far. James was almost done with his presents when he saw Lily's. He grabbed it and tore of the paper. Inside was an album. Written on the cover of the album was, "Lily and James: Friends Always and Forever." James then opened it and looked at all the pictures Lily had put together for him: From their first year, all the way to the beginning of this year. He read all the sentences under each picture, which Lily had written in with her own small, neat handwriting. He was on the last page were a something caught his eye. It was a letter Lily had pinned to the back page. It said, "James, I hope you like this album I made for you. It has all our memories of when we were 11 until now, when we are 17. I just wanted you to know that I think a lot of you and I'm so glad that I meet you and that you are here with me. Love always, Lily." James read the note over and over again. Then a slow grin spread across his mouth. Sirius saw this and nudged Remus in the ribs. They both looked at him with chocolate covered mouths and started to laugh.

"What?" James asked looking confused.

"You gotta see your face man!" Remus said through gales of laughter. "You look like you cursed Snape and Malfoy without getting caught!" he said going laughing hysterically again. Sirius couldn't say anything. He was having trouble catching his breath. James new this was their way of saying that he looked happier than ever and it was also their way of saying that they were happy for them.

"Shut up you guys." James said smiling.

********************

James was pacing the Common Room waiting for Lily to come downstairs. He wanted to see her. He wanted to see if she liked the present he got her.

"Uh, James, I think you should stop pacing before you make a trench in the ground." Sirius said. "She'll be here. Relax. She didn't hop town because of the locket you gave her." He said grinning.

"Yeah," Remus agreed. "If I got a locket that expensive, I wouldn't hop town. I'd stay with you and pump you for all the money you have." He said. Sirius laughed. James just rolled his eyes and sat on the couch.

"Hey James." A small voice said from behind him. James jumped off his chair as if it was on fire.

"Lily." He said nervously. "Hi. Um. did you.you know.like the present?" He asked searching her face for an answer. He looked down and noticed that she didn't have the locket on. His face fell.

"I loved it." She said quietly and opened her hand. Inside was the locket. "I just wanted you to put it on for me." She said looking up at him. James face broke into a big grin and his cheeks turned a little red. Lily turned around and held up her hair away from her neck. James lifted the locket up and put it around her neck. It took him a while to get the tiny clasp thing opened. Finally, he got it and put the necklace down gently on her neck. Lily turned around and asked: "How does it look?"

"Beautiful." James said looking right at her face. Lily blushed and looked down. James put a hand under her chin and lifted it up so she was looking at him. He then leaned in and gave her a sweet kiss. Lily responded immediately and kissed him back. Suddenly, someone cleared their throat behind them. Lily looked up and James whirled around. Standing right in front of them was Sirius, Remus, and Arabella with a smug look on their face. James blushed crimson and Lily face was almost redder than her hair.

"So." Sirius said grinning.

"Sirius shut up!" Lily and James said together. The whole common room laughed.

"Ok ok. I can take a hint." Sirius said with his hands up in a gesture of surrender. Remus jumped up on the table and clapped his hand loudly to get everybody's attention.

"Ok everybody." He said loudly. "Let me have your attention. Today is a very special day, not only because it's Christmas, but because Lily and James have finally admitted their love for each other." Remus said smirking down at them. James and Lily both made a mental note to kill Remus later. "I have a surprise for both of them today." He continued. "Now if I could get a little help here from Sirius and Bella. I would love to give it to them." Remus indicated that Bella and Sirius stand up on the table with them. Then they put their wands out in front of them and muttered a spell. There was smoke coming out of their wands and then in the middle of the common room something started to form. When they put their wands down the 'something' took form. It was a picture. It was the picture Remus took when James had tackled Lily in the snow. It was right there, in front of the whole common room for everyone to see. Everyone in the common room "awwwed." James and Lily went redder than they have ever gone before.

In the picture the snow was falling around them. Lily was on the bottom with her red hair spread all around her like fire. Her eyes were as wide as saucers when she noticed that James was leaning in slowly. You could just make out James' features. His face was pink and his eyes were glazed over. Then suddenly they both looked up. That was when Remus took the picture.

Lily and James looked at each other, then up at their friends standing on table. Lily gave her trademark smirk and winked at James. She then pulled out her wand and pointed it at the leg of the table they were standing on and the next thing they new it, Sirius, Remus and Arabella fell off of the table on to the floor. Then James pulled out his wand and pointed it his friends and yelled; "Wingardium Leviosa." Sirius, Remus, and Bella flew up in the air towards the roof. The whole common room was laughing loudly.

"You guys let us down." Bella said laughing.

"Bella? How in the world did you get up there?" James asked pretending to be serious.

"Haha." Sirius said sarcastically. "So you guys going to let us down?" he asked. Lily and James looked at each other then back up to their friends.

"Nah." They said together. Then James put his arm around Lily's waist. Lily looked up and smiled at him and they both walked down to breakfast together laughing and smiling.

"You guys!" Sirius, Remus, and Bella yelled together. They watched Lily and James walk out of the room.

"And to think, we did that whole prank for them and we get stuck up here." Sirius said.

"Yup," Remus agreed. "All this for a prank."



A/N: Well, I hope you guys liked it. I'm sorry if it ended kinda weird. My friend called me and interrupted my train of thought. Well, I might write some fics, but I think I'm going to stick with R/G and H/G stuff. I also have a good idea for an original story that I think might turn out ok. Thanx to everyone who reviewed this story and was patient enough to read this. I love you guys!! Please Review.
