A/N: Yes! I finally updated! Sorry for the long wait.
Thank you all my reviewers. You guys rocks!!
To PrincessOfDarkness: Just so you know, I am, in a weird way, part Australian. I have an uncle who lives there, and before I was born, my parents lived there for about two years. Then they decided to move to the United States, and I was born in America. So, I'm just a plain American (My parents were not born in Australia, though). I love the songs by Savage Garden, and "I Knew I Loved You" is my favorite ("Truly, Madly, Deeply" is the second). I hate it that they spilt too. Thank you for reading and reviewing my story. I am sorry that some parts of my story are confusing. I tried my best.
To Emerald-Eyez: Thank you so much! Your review helped me a lot! Your story rocks, by the way.
Okay, I've made a decision on how to end my story…I've gathered up all the reviews and compare them. I've also flipped a quarter. And I've decided to…go to graduation and then make a sequel. I'm sorry to those who wanted me to go to death. I hope that you won't stop reading my story, because I sincerely hope not; you'll break my heart. If you're afraid that my story might be confusing if I make a sequel, then please don't worry, because I'll try my best to make it as enjoyable and easy-to-understand as possible. I really hope you're not disappointed.
Sorry for not updating for days. I've been really busy. I went to the movies and got home too late to update and got tons of homework. I'm sincerely sorry.
On with the chapter…
Chapter 15
After her conversation with Bella, Lily went and got her shower. Coming out of it smelling the sweet scent of lilac, she and Bella went out to greet the boys good-morning. Walking into the Great Hall, they net many shocked faces. No one was really surprised to see Remus and Sandra or Sirius and Arabella, but James and Lily? That shy little muggle-born with the famous and hot James Potter? No way! But--yes way. James and Lily walked hand-in-hand to the Gryffindor's table and sat down smiling, ignoring everybody's shocked expressions and stares. Actually, not everybody's face had a shocked expression. Up at that teacher's table (a/n: I still can't remember what it's called), smiles were all around, especially Dumbledore's and McGonagall's. Dumbledore was smiling and thinking, "It's about time those two get together," while McGonagall smiled, because she was happy that her favorite student (a/n: of course she meant Lily; not James) finally got what she deserved. Even though James causes a lot of trouble, she knew what he is a good kid and would treat Lily right.
Over at the Hufflepuff's table, Jenny Johnston and other fans of James were scowling. Jenny thought *How can he choose her over me? Well…I'm not through with them yet…*
And over at the Slytherin's table, Snape was frowning. He was sad. *Well…I guess if Lily is happy, then I hope she stay that way (a/n: see? He's not such a bad guy after all, for all you Snape-likers). But if Potter mistreat her, then I'll strangle him with my bare hands!* he thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Weeks passed by. Bella was right. James and Lily are Hogwarts' cutest couple. They haven't a single fight and they respect each other a lot. Soon, Christmas is around the corner and so is the winter break. None of the Marauders, but Peter, are going home. Lily and Arabella were staying too. Everybody else in Gryffindor were going home for the break too, but Sandra and Mundungus Fletcher, a 7th year guy, who they hung with sometimes (a/n: sort of like Harry, Ron, Hermione and Seamus Finnigan or Dean Thomas, I guess. By the way, I have yet mention that Remus and Sandra were going steady, right? Well, they are. I'm sorry).
It was a Hogsmeade weekend, for students to go Christmas-shopping. The boys head off in on direction and the girls another, after agreeing to meet in the Three Broomsticks in about three hours. After they had done their shopping, everybody did met in the Three Broomsticks and each ordered butterbeer. It was sort of awkward, for nobody want anybody to know what they got for each other. Then they went back up the castle.
Christmas is finally here! Lily awoke to somebody's merry singing. It was Bella's voice.
"C'mon, Lily! Get up! IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!!"
"Okay, okay. You don't have to be so loud."
Over in James' room, a conversation along the same line as Lily's and Bella's, was going on too. Sirius, evidently, had entered James room and was creating a mess, also singing. So they got up and all went to the Gryffindor's Common Room. They decided to open their presents in there, just for the fun of having everybody around.
Sirius received candy and sweets from Honeydukes from Lily, Sandra, and even Mundungus. James, Remus, and Peter got him packets of dung bombs. Bella had given him a "How To Make Your Own Pranks and Use Them To Create Trouble" kit, and a kiss on the lips.
Bella got her kiss returned from Sirius along with a charm bracelet. She got candy from James, Remus, Peter, Sandra, and Mundungus. Lily got her a photo album, filled with pictures of them together and also pictures of them with the Marauders.
Remus got candies from Mundungus, Peter, and Bella. James and Sirius got him some stuff from Zonkos (a/n: thank you some readers/reviewers for telling me). Lily got him a book on Defense Against the Dark Arts (his favorite class), and Sandra gave him a kiss and a journal.
Sandra got her kiss back too and a pair of earrings from Remus. Everybody else gave her candies and sweets.
Mundungus just got candy from everybody too. He's a friend, though not a close one, but everybody thought that he deserves something.
Lily got candy from everybody. Her parents sent her a letter along with a beautiful lilac dress from her father and a hand-knitted green sweater from her mother. James leaned in and gave her a kiss. He also whispered in her ear "I'm going to give you your gift later." She nodded and whispered back "Me too."
James got candy from Mundungus, Sandra, Bella, and Peter. Remus and Sirius gave him stuff from Zonkos.
