Chapter 9: Everything Was Perfect
The next morning, Lily and James made their way down to the Great Hall holding hands. The whole way, people stared at them. They were all used to Lily avoiding James, and to see them together voluntarily was a first. Lily and James ignored the stares, and waltzed right towards the Gryffindor table, sitting with the Marauders. As they sat down, Sirius, Remus, and Peter looked up with identical grins on their faces.
"Something happen last night that we should know about, Prongs" Sirius asked teasingly.
"As a matter of fact," James said with a laugh. "Lily and I got together last night. And be nice, Sirius, I really like this one!"
"What do you mean, Prongs? I would never do anything to scare off any of your girlfriends!" Sirius said, trying (and failing) to keep a straight face. "Ok, so maybe I would, but I know that you like Lily. I can see it in the way you look at her."
Lily blushed until her face was the same color as her hair. James gazed at her and murmured, "You have no idea."
Remus cleared his throat loudly and announced, "We have to go to Charms now guys."
James groaned. His worst subject was Charms. "It'll be ok. I'll help you," Lily whispered in his ear and kissed his cheek.
They walked into the classroom, and both Lily and James sat in the front row! It was the first time that James Potter had ever sat in the front in seven years at Hogwarts. The other Marauders couldn't quite make themselves sit in the front, so they took seats in the second row behind Lily and James. When tiny Professor Flitwick entered the room, he stopped at the sight of the biggest troublemakers in the school sitting right up front in his class. When he saw Lily lean over and kiss James on the cheek before grabbing hold of his hand, he thought, "At least this girlfriend may have a positive impression on Potter." He shook his head slightly and began the lesson.
After Charms, both James and Lily had a free period and decided to head back to their room to study. Or at least that is what they told Sirius, Remus, ad Peter. While Peter was shocked that James wanted to do extra studying, Sirius and Remus knew that James and Lily were more likely snogging than studying.
All that week, James and Lily did a lot of extra study, though everyone but Peter knew that they were really off snogging. And even though they did spend quite a lot of time snogging, they also spent a lot of time just holding each other and talking. Lily never really thought about Anne or Frank, as she was so happy. It seemed to her that it must all be a dream, too good to last.
Within a month, Lily and James were the most popular couple in the school. How could they not be? They were the Head Students, Lily was a beautiful girl, and James was the school heartthrob. how much more perfect could they be?
Before either knew it, Christmastime was upon them. Lily was not really looking forward to heading home, though she never complained, but James could tell. He decided that he would invite her to come home with him for the holidays. Lily would not have to go home, they could spend Christmas together, and his parents could meet Lily. He had written to them about her, but he wanted his parent to see her. Lily was a large part of James's life, and he wanted to share her with his family.
After he had planned for Lily to join them for Christmas, he actually had to invite her to come. He wasn't sure why he was so nervous, but he was. Lily was the first girl that he had ever brought home with him, and it seemed like such a big deal to him. That night, as they sat in the Head common room doing the homework that they had been putting off, James decided that he needed to ask Lily to come home with him for the holidays.
"Lily," he began. "I know that you don't really want to go home and spend the holidays with Petunia, and I was wondering if you would like to come home with me?"
"Oh, James! I would love to! Are you sure it wouldn't be any trouble to your parents?"
"Not at all. They want to meet you. I've written to them a lot about you and they want to meet the girl that had me sitting in the front row of classes and actually doing my homework." He said with a laugh.
"James," she whispered. "What if they don't like me?" She was nervous that they wouldn't accept her, because she was Muggle-born and they were purebloods. "I'm just some middleclass muggle-born."
"Don't talk like that, Lils. How could they not like the girl their son-" He stopped abruptly. He didn't want to scare her by saying that he loved her. He knew that it was too soon to say those words. "My parents don't care about that muggle-born/pureblood nonsense! They are going to love you. How could they not?" He leaned over and kissed her lightly. A few minutes later, he pulled back and looked into her deep emerald eyes. "Shall I tell my mother that you have accepted our invitation?" He asked teasingly, knowing that she had already said yes.
"Yes."
"Are you sure, I won't be offended if you say no. I can understand if you would rather go home." "Are you trying to get rid of me, James Potter? 'Cause there's no way that you're getting rid of me that easily." She said it in a teasing manner, yet both knew that Lily was being honest. There was no way that the two of them would be separated. With a smile, she leaned back into him, and kissed away all of James thoughts about Christmas. There was nothing else in the world to the two teenagers but each other. Later, when they were lying in bed, both said a silent prayer that things would never change. Everything was perfect just as it was.
