Disclaimer: I OwN nOtHiNg YoU ReCoGnIzE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Classes that day and the next went surprisingly well. Just the occasional meeting with the Slytherins in which every time they wound up running away with there tail between there legs.

"They aren't ever going to learn are they?" said Natalie after classes that day when they were walking to Hogsmeade to go get their dresses.

":I don't know but they make me sick, especially that stupid git snape, you could fry bacon on HIS head and he has the nerve to call me names." spat Lily.

"WhOa, simmer down Lil. You look like you're about to kill.... I know think about what kind of dress you want so that we can get back. This getting up early is killing me." she looked over at Lily who looked like she was in a daze and smiling. ' I knew dresses would cheer her up.' she thought to herself.

The walked into Madam Malkins and started to have a look around. They tried on about a million dresses until Lily found one she liked. They all finally settled on there dresses paid and left the shop (A/N you'll find out what they look like later.)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~What the guys were doing~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After classes that day all the guys went up to the dorm to find that well...there were only guys in there. Sirius sat down and asked Remus to play chess with him. James and Colby went to the chairs by the fire and started talking.

"So how are you and Lily after that little incident."

"were great its like nothing ever even happened." he said. And Colby looked down at the floor.

"So how are things with you and Natalie?"

"Well okay I guess were just going to the dance together."

"o," James was beginning to feel uncomfortable. "Is me and lily being together bothering you at all?"

"No of course not! actually I have an idea, why don't we go down to Hogsmeade and surprise 'em?"

Sirius perked up. "Sounds like a plan lets go"

They were about to leave the building when they saw Matt Gelles in the entrance hall walking towards them.

"Hey guys have you seen Lily?"

"Why would you want to know where Lily is?" asked James.

"Well..i figured where ever she was Rose would be and I need to talk to her."

"o, well they went to Hogsmeade to get their dresses we were just about to go surprise them and show up if you want to join us," Remus said.

"yea I'd love to." he said and then they headed off to Hogsmeade. The normal way of course since matt was no marauder. (A/N-ill talk about them more o say after Christmas). They got to Hogsmeade and almost right away spotted the girls coming out of Madam Malkins with big bags and big smiles.

"Shelby!!!!!!!!!" screamed Sirius

"James!!" was Lily's reply while Shelby just laughed. they each when up to their guy including Natalie Ashleigh and Rose and gave them a hug and a polite kiss since they were in public. except Rose and Natalie just hugged their guys.

"What are you doing here! this is girl's night out!!" Ashleigh yelled at Remus.

"Sorry we couldn't bare not being with you guys" answered Remus.

"Awwww that's sooo sweet," chorused the girls.

"Well we are all done know how about we go to the three broomsticks and get a butterbeer or two?" said Natalie.

"yea let's go" said everyone. They walked to the other side of town and walked into the three broomsticks and picked one of the larger tables so that they could all sit around it with James and Matt on either side. After one butter beer Lily noticed a hand on her leg and smiled to herself and was about to whisper something playful into James ear when she noticed that both of his hands were on the table. She looked over at Matt and he winked at her. She didn't know what to do so she pushed his hand off gently and scooted closer to James and lay her head on his shoulder. They had a couple more butter beers and decided it was time to go and everyone started heading back except lily and James.

"I'm glad we got to spend time together tonight" he said

"yea me too, even though it WAS supposed to be a girl's night out." he smiled his innocent smile and she couldn't help but laugh and give him a kiss once again having to pull away right before her knees gave way. He was the best kisser in the world and wondered what it would be like to do more, but quickly shrugged the thought from her mind. They slowly started walking back to hogwarts holding hands.

"So do you know this Matt guy at all?"

"No not really I just know of him, why do you ask?" she said quickly hoping he didn't see Matt's hand on her thigh at the three broomsticks.

"o, its no big deal, he was just asking about you earlier, that's all."

"o... he probably got the name wrong cause ive never even spoke to him."

"yea your probably right" he said giving her another kiss. They walked back the rest of the way in silence just happy to be with each other. They sat down in the common room and Lily layed her head in his lap and they fell asleep there.

Later that night Sirius and Remus lay awake talking.

"Remus do you think Lily would ever cheat on someone?" Sirius asked

"Sirius don't even think about it. No she wont and especially not with his best friend. I can't even believe you would think of betraying him like that you better stay away from ash-"

"Remus shut up! I wasn't talking about me!! I would wait till they broke up!" Sirius joked, "its just that tonight when I dropped my napkin I noticed that that Matt Gelles guy had his hand on Lily's upper thigh and well she wasn't doing anything about it and-"

Remus sat up right, "Are you sure???"

"of course im sure, why-"

"Because she could have thought it was James.."

"Yea that's what I was thinking, but the way the hand was positioned....I don't know...and a few minutes later I looked again and he moved his hand to Rose's thigh and Lily had scooted over a bit.

"Well maybe she realized that it was him" Remus reasoned.

"maybe your right but Lily didn't even act like anything had happened...o well maybe im just over-exaggerating im going to sleep now," and with that Sirius rolled over and fell asleep but Remus lay awake trying to make sense of what he just heard. He couldn't sleep so he went down to the common room and saw James and Lily laying peacefully with each other, when all of the sudden Lily tried to roll over and fell right on to the floor.

THUD!

Lily woke with a start and started to feel the pain from her face bouncing off the carpet and looked up to see Remus just cracking up. Lily turned scarlet from embarrassment.

"Remuuuusss....shhhhh....what are you doing down here?"

Remus couldn't stop laughing and woke James up. He sat there puzzled wondering why Lily was on the floor and Remus was laughing like mad. Pretty soon Lily was laughing too, until James cleared his throat.

"What happened?" he asked.

"o Lily was just touring the floor!"

"shut up Remus!!!" Lily joked. as she stood up and still had a red imprint running down the center of her face. "im going to bed night James!!! bye Remus!"

James sat there confused as he watched her run up to her dormitory. Puzzled he stood up to head upstairs right before he reached the staircase he turned around.

"Did Lily fall off the couch?" he asked Remus. and in response Remus just started laughing all over again. James just smiled stupidly at the thought of lily falling off the couch and went up to bed leaving a cracking up Remus to follow him.

As Lily entered her dormitory she was still laughing and surprised to see that Rose was in the Griffyndor dormitory talking to Shelby. They both had big smiles on their faces and turned to greet Lily when she walked in.

"Hey Lils where have YoU been??......what did you do to your face!!!" asked Shelby.

"Ive been falling off couches what are YoU guys doing??" she said as she looked into the mirror at her red stripe and frowning.

"Just talking about rose' lover boy" Shelby said. Lily froze remembering what he had done at the three broomsticks

"What did he do?" Lily asked quietly.

"When we were at the three broomsticks he kept rubbing my leg under the table," Rose blushed, " and later he kept telling me how pretty I was and how much he liked me! o and he wants to go on a double date with you and James! wouldn't that be fun!?"

"o yea tons!" Lily said playing along she couldn't believe what she just heard her friend was falling hard for him and he was playing her. Maybe he thought I was her leg ..no cause he looked straight at me and winked. Well maybe he realized I don't like him like that she concluded and shoved it from her mind. "Well im going to go to bed now ill talk to you guys tomorrow!"

"Okay lil goodnight and don't forget to ask James about the double date!!"
