~For One Another~

"What if we splashed the girls, and then locked them out of the house?" James said.
"No!" Remus replied, "That's mean." And with that, he went and sat down beside Michelle at the edge of the pool. James shook his head and continued with the plan.
"Are you ready?" James asked Sirius before they left through the back door.
"Yep" Sirius replied and walked over beside Remus. Remus looked up and Sirius gave him a small smirk, and with that he backed up. When James and Sirius were equal lengths away, they both started running for the pool. James followed the plan by jumping in and splashing Lily, but Sirius on the other hand, did have a girlfriend that he didn't want to lose. When James noticed Sirius sitting at the edge of the pool, James was furious.
"Sirius!" James yelled.
"What?" Sirius yelled back. Sirius gave a quick glance over to Bella, and placed him arm around her. Lily was already wiping the water from her eyes. James blushed and swam to the other side of the pool. Lily realized that both of her friends were deep in conversation, so she also decided to go visit a shy James, who was sitting on the diving board at the other end of the pool. James, who was quietly staring at his feet, didn't realize the fast approaching Lily.
"Hi" she said shyly. James blushed.
"Oh, hi" he said. Then they both fell silent.
"Sorry for splashing you, Lily." James apologized. Lily could see the expression on his face, he really did look sorry.
"Its ok." Lily replied, "I was going to go for a dip anyways." They both laughed. Lily pulled herself out of the pool and beside James. James had this feeling in the pit of his stomach every time she looked, or even spoke to him.
"So?" He asked.
"I love the party, James, It's been great!" Lily had a giant grin on her face, which made James smile too.
"Great, but I have nothing else planned to do here." He replied.
"Well, we are leaving tomorrow, so I guess you don't have to plan anything else, do you?" Lily said in a monotone voice. She just realized that over the past few days she had been there, he never even bothered to ask her out. She felt really bad about leaving so soon.
"No, I don't have to plan anything for the party, it's just." James then went quiet. He was just thinking about what he had just said.
"What?" Lily asked with some concern.
"Never mind." James replied.
"Come on!" Lily spoke.
"Fine, it's just, uh, that I, uh, sort of-" Lily quickly interrupted James.
"Just say it. How bad can it be?" Lily said out loud.
"Will you go out with me?" James said, he was already for her to start laughing at him at any second.
"YES!" she screamed and gave him such a forceful hug, that both of them fell of the diving board, into the water. Once they both reached the surface, they were in each other's arms. Both of them had never been so happy in their lives. They other 4 were still deep in conversation, that they didn't notice the couple in the water laughing.

At about dinnertime, once they boys had successfully made dinner, Lily and James were about ready to tell everyone.
"You guys, we have something to tell you." Lily spoke out loud to everyone. Everyone looked up from their dinner plates and stared at Lily.
"We're going out." James said without hesitation, which made Lily feel much better. They were speechless. Everyone had thought that James would be to scared to ask Lily out, but the truth was, he knew more than that.

Dinner had been cleared and everyone was sitting in the living room. They all sat quietly, as if they wanted something so quiet to come along and speak. They all just sat there, staring into oblivion, thinking about what happened that week. They had soon stared their selves into sleep. Michelle and Lily went up to bed, with Remus following them. James hadn't wanted Lily to leave, but she was tired and she wanted her rest. Bella and Sirius were sitting together staring into each other's eyes and not saying anything. James missed being beside Lily, so he went up to bed as well. Which left Bella and Sirius by themselves.
"I can't believe he asked her." Bella whispered.
"I know, but they are perfect for each other." Sirius agreed.
"How long do you think they'll stay together for?" Bella asked.
"Till death do them part." Replied Sirius and with that they went up to bed, waiting for tomorrow morning.
