Hello! I got reviews!! A lot of them (in my opinion because I never get a lot of them). Thank you to all my reviewers!! You're the reason I write (and sometime why I stop). Keep reviewing and I'll keep my end of the deal!
Well I'll write another chapter for you, but I might not be able to upload for a while. Hogwarts students graduate at seventeen. The group is twenty-five and they have one more year at their university. Lily wanted to have a kid when she was eighteen. They don't graduate at eighteen. So they have nine years at university. A little too much? It doesn't matter. I changed all of it by three years. I also like quotes so I'll put a different quote in each chapter if I can find a perfect one. The quote I put in chapter one fit because they can enjoy each others' company even when they are doing "nothing." They are actually doing something, but it's considered "nothing." It's kind of confusing, but I sometimes do this with my guy friend...
My notes are way too long.................
The more quotes the longer the chapter....
More Than Just Harry
Chapter 2: Thank You
"The only way to have a friend is to be one."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same."
-Elbert Hubbard
"A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely."
-Pam Brown
"Here is your order," replied the waitress. The young woman placed the steaming cup of hot chocolate in front of James, the tall glass of frappacino in front of Lily, and the cannolies in-between the two of them. She left the bill on the table and left to take another couple's orders.
"You were saying..." prompted James.
"Forget it," replied Lily softly as she twirled the red straw between her fingers. She would take a sip every now and then, then peer into James's cup. Her sips were small, so she wouldn't burn her tongue on the hot, sweet liquid. James could tell she was nervous. When she was, Lily would fiddle with something. He remembered when they had taken the O.W.L.s in the days they had been at Hogwarts. She would chew mercilessly at her quills until they were only stubs. During class she would do the same thing. All of Lily's friends knew to get her Sugar Quills. They would always get her a pack of them when the red-head was angry or nervous.
James smiled at the other habits of Lily's that he spotted. Whenever she was drinking or eating anything with anyone she would look into their cup. She always wanted to have more than the other person.Sometimes, she would just drink all of hers and not care. Lily was ever changing and yet always staying the same. She was predictable and unpredictable at the same time.
"Can I try yours?" asked James. Without even waiting for an answer, James reached over the shiny, cluttered table and grabbed Lily's drink. He took a sip. Lily rolled her eyes. He always did this.
"Can I try yours? You can have another sip of mine." Lily stated. She took James's mug in her hands and took a short sip. She looked over at James and said, "Don't drink too much! Leave some for me!"
James smirked against the cup's smooth surface. Lily was so predictable. She took her glass, peered inside, and offered him another drink. He declined. He knew he had made her feel guilty because she had yelled at him for no reason. He had drank very little. This happened all too often. Lily never changed. Not only that, but he knew that she didn't even bother to answer him because he was going to sip at her drink even if she protested. They still managed to love each other.
"Okay..." Lily began. James expected this. In the end, she was going to tell him anyway. "I need you to donate something for me..."
"Are you okay? Do I have to donate a kidney or liver?" he asked concerned.
She laughed. "No silly." She was glad he cared. Usually he remained indifferent. "It's less life-threatening." She paused to gather some more courage. "I want to have a child."
James gawked. He had NOT been expecting this.
"You have known that I have wanted to be a mother since we met each other!" she replied loudly to his reaction.
"Why do I have to donate the..." James coughed.
"I even asked you to be the father, if I never got married, when we were younger!"
"I thought you were kidding!"
"I wasn't!"
"Why me?!"
"We even thought of what out child might be like!"
"My James senses are tingling. I'm sensing something."
"My feelings for you have not crossed the line of friendship," replied Lily
"Remember what our kid might be like, Lily continued.
"I didn't know we'd still know each other after we graduated from Hogwarts."
"You were gonna ditch me, James Harold Potter?"
"What was the child gonna be like again?"

A twelve year old Lily Evans sat in the common room with two of her friends. They were talking about their future.
"I want to be a mom, but I doubt I'll ever get married. If I don't, can you be the sperm donor?" asked Lily.
"No!" yelled James.
"Please?" she begged.
"No," was his reply.
"I wonder what the kid would be like if it were a girl," thought Lily.
"She'd have your hair color," piped in Remus as he pointed at James, "and your hair texture." He indicated to Lily.
"She'd also be a tomboy and superb quidditch player," added Lily.
"No. She'd only be a quidditch player if she hung out with me. In a sperm donor's case, we have nothing to do with the baby," James said.
"Well, you can help," Lily replied.
"No way!"
"What if Sirius was the father?" wondered Lily. She used to have a small crush on him during the group's second year. It was awkward between them for a while, but they got over that and became good friends again.
"She'd have a VERY good sense of humor," replied Remus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why have a baby now?" asked the present day James. "You're a little bit too young."
"I want to have a baby sooner so that by the time my child is sixteen, I can still be a little immature. I want to be able to relate to them. I want to be a fun and cool mom."
"Let me think about it," replied James. "We only have one more month until the end of this year. After the end of the next school year, and we graduate, I'll give you my answer."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the summer, the group worked at different jobs to get more income. Lily worked the hardest. She worked at a full time job and a part time job. Her savings were getting bigger. She never spent a galleon on anything unnecessary. She was saving up for her maybe baby.
James on the other hand began to notice that Lily worked very hard. Even during the summers of Hogwarts she had jobs to make money. The tax and bills of the group's house was paid for mostly by Lily. She cooked, cleaned, received top marks, had fun, helped the others, and still managed to sleep. She was super woman. "Maybe she can be a mother," thought James.
During the last year of training for being an auor, James and Lily had to actually be an active auor in training. They were assigned to an official auor and were trained by them. They even had to live with them. Lily and James were separated. They sent owls to each other to stay in touch. Small, frivolous gifts were sent. Lily listened to James's complaints about how mean his trainer was. She sent him food since James's auor had no wife and could not cook. James couldn't cook. Lily had always done it for him.
One year and a month after their conversation in the coffee shop, Lily and James finally saw each other again on graduation day. After receiving their diplomas, Lily found James at the party.
"I have thought this over carefully," he said. "You are superwoman. You can juggle anything. You have patience, but most of all, you're a terrific friend. I'm always such a prick, so I'll do it."
Lily smiled a million dollar smile. She threw her arms around James's neck and kissed him on the lips in a friendly way. He had just done the best thing he could ever do for her.
James was shocked. Lily had never kissed him before. Lily had never kissed anyone before.
"Thanks," Lily whispered. The couple made their way to the dance floor. Lily laid her head on the base of James's neck, and he put his head on hers. They began to sway to the music. "Thanks."

Please review! I have ditched two stories because no one reviewed. If you do, it'll give me a purpose to write this. Did you know that some of the events in this chapter are true? I've experienced some of these... Can anyone guess which ones? Oh darn... I forgot the funny one... I'll put it in in the next chapter. Review and I'll tell you.
