~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Soon it was spring and the Exams were coming. Lily was pressuring the boys into studying but Sirius flatly ignored her. Remus on the other hand was doing more studying then Lily, James, and Peter planning to do. Lily was taking potions every hour to stop headaches because all the reading and revising she was doing. Sirius on the other hand, was flying his broom outside and showing off to girls. James was helping Peter in Transfiguration and was doing rather well.
Then the exams came, Lily was taking everything too seriously and rushed into the bathroom right after their History of Magic exam. The exam itself was all writing and reciting the Declaration of Goblin Religion. Sirius was making up half of it, putting in rude remarks on how ugly Snape was. Professor Binns just floated there looking at Sirius and kept on rolling his eyes as if no-one ever read the declaration.
Charms was rather hard for Peter and James. James kept on messing up on the Cheering Charm and Peter kept on making his pineapple flash different colors instead of it dancing. Lily was doing very well. She had aced all of the Charms they had to do. Remus also did well.
Transfiguration was the hardest for Lily. But the boys did really well. When they had to Vanish a desk and bring it back to normal in 15 seconds time. The boys did theirs in 13.4(average) seconds. Lily failed this part and got a 16.1.

Serenity and Lily were becoming better friends again. Molly and Alyssa had become friendlier and the girls had slumber parties and listened to magical bands.
Everything was going well and the boys as usual pulled pranks on Snape, did monthly adventures that the girls had no clue about.
Malfoy and Snape were doing the usual "You are a mudblood get away!" in the hallways when poor little first year girls were trying, but unsuccessfully tried to curse Malfoy.
But soon everything went in a flash and the second to last day of school rolled in…
~~~***
"James!" Lily yelled as they were heading down into the Great Hall that evening.
"What Lily Billy?" James looked at her.
"Can I come to your house during the summer?" She asked. "Because my mom and dad are dead…"
"Yes, of course! I really need someone as smart as you to help me get away from my sister." James replied.
"Won't your mom mind?"
"Nope, I'll owl her tonight so she knows."
"Okay,"
"Lily I will miss you so much!" Sirius said and hugged Lily. Molly and Alyssa looked like they were going to cry.
They entered the Great Hall in a packed way and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Everybody was in the hall and ready for the House points to be counted. It looked like Slytherin was in lead but Hufflepuff was next. Dumbledore clapped his hands and the Hall went quiet.
"Welcome, welcome…" The old man said casually. "It looks like Slytherin is in lead with 457…" There was a huge cheer from the Slytherin table. "And Hufflepuff is second with 456 points. And then is Ravenclaw with 346 points and after that is Gryffindor with 334 points…But the last points must be filled." The Hall went dead quiet.
"Firstly, I award Miss Lily Evans 50 points for making it out of Voldemort's castle with the help of a student, Second, 50 points to Mr. Potter for realizing that it is important to have a great deal of friends for support. Third, to Mr. Black and Mr. Pettigrew both 20 points for accepting someone different from everyday life."
There was excitement in the Hall.
"We're first! Slytherin is now in second place!" Lily
whispered. The Gryffindor table went wild.
"We won!!!!!!" Sirius jumped.
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled and he let everyone cheer.
James and Lily hugged and she gave James a peck on the cheek, Sirius and Serenity hugged and realized that it was each other and let go looking embarrassed. Remus was clapping and didn't cheer, Peter was yelling at the top of his voice.

Packing was a pain but everyone packed and got a note saying no magic during the holidays.
"Shoe, I always wish they would forget to give us these…" Sirius mumbled.
On the train James and Lily talked about Quidditch. Remus and Peter were playing 'Exploding Snap' and Sirius was eating Chocolate Frogs and telling the girls sick jokes.
"So where are you going this summer Peter?" Lily asked.
"America, my mom and dad planed this last summer."
"Interesting!" Lily took out the coin Peter had given her. "What did it this do again?"
"When you squeeze and you look at a person you can here their thoughts in your own head." Peter explained it.
"Oh yeah!" Lily put the coin back and closed her eyes. Soon the train stopped and everyone left feeling a bit sad.
"I will miss you Sirius!" Lily yelled. "And you too Remus and Peter! See you Serenity!"
"See ya everyone!" Peter disappeared.
"You know Lily, you're everlasting." Sirius said to Lily.
"What?"
"You are this everlasting person who is really fun, and heck you are mean sometimes but still…" Sirius tried to explain.
Lily smiled. She was Lily Everlasting. A person who had lasted 2 years without friends and made wonderful ones now…She felt everlasting, she felt just wonderful. Lily ran up to James and they felt and now they had only the summer and 7th year to tackle…
The End
