As the train neared the school, Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Serenity all
got changed into their school robes; Amy stayed the same (she wasn't a
student so she had no need to wear school uniform).
They all entered the great hall and sat in their usual seats in the middle of the table,
Dumbledore stood up and the chatter died down immediately.
"This term differs from all others, in more ways than one, firstly, Hogwarts has decided that the top 5 students from each house, and each year, will be going on a two month field trip, the house prefects will sort out all the arrangement and the students going will be notified at a later date.
Second, and last, you all know that Voldemort (a great shudder went around the room and a lot of people gasped) is getting stronger, every person sitting in this room will be given an appointment card to come and see me, and I will place charms on you that will, hopefully keep you safe, enjoy"
Dumbledore clapped his hands and a mountain of food appeared on the tables, Lily looked at it all and shuddered, before picking some salads and eating as little as possible.
James (of course) piled on as much food as he could, before acting as if he was a human garbage disposal.
'Your not eating much Lils' James mind talked, concerned 'You're eating enough for the both of us' 'I am not' 'Bullshit, your acting like a hoover' 'What's that?' 'Oh never mind' 'Otay' smirked James, and kept shovelling the food in
James wasn't the only one who noticed Lily's eating habits- or lack there of, Dumbledore was looking at Lily, noticing how she only touched the salads, and how she blanched when dessert came.
After they had eaten as much as possible, or in Lily's case, as little as possible, they all got up, and went to the common room and got ready for bed.
"You didn't eat much tonight Lily" Serenity remarked, as they settled down to have a chat (Amy had gone to bed)
"What's it to you" Lily snapped (not wanting Serenity to discover her secret)
"Just wondering" Serenity said mildly
"Well don't" Lily stormed off to bed, leaving Serenity near tears.
'Hey babe' it was James
'Oh, hi' Lily said
'What's wrong?'
Lily sighed, not another one
'Nothing- I'M FINE'
'Ok, sorry, I just was wondering that all, anyway, do you wanna go for a ride'
'YES, silly, of course I do, meet me in the common room in 5 minutes'
'Sweet' James replied, and Lily quickly changed and ran down to find James waiting nervously.
"What's wrong?" Lily asked, concerned
"Uhh, I was wondering if you would like to make this a real date" James whispered
Lily smiled
"Sure" she said and followed him out of the room
5 MINUTES LATER
"Wait here" James said, and covered her eyes with a blindfold.
He picked her up and carried her into a dimly lit room, before removing the blindfold.
In the middle of the room there was a candle-lit table for two, and when Lily looked down, her clothing had changed from shoddy riding clothes to a gorgeous sea green dress, and James, to his embarrassment was in a suit.
James led Lily two a chair, and after James pulled it out for her with a flourish (like all good men should) she sat down.
James sat across from her, blushing slightly, and they sat in silence for a while.
Suddenly, as if by magic (a/n: oh wait, it is magic LOL) a slow tune started, and Lily looking around noticed a small band of house elves, dressed in suits, playing instruments.
"Can I have this dance" James asked, waggling his eyebrows.
"Of course my dear" Lily replied, trying not to laugh and hurt his feelings.
The danced slowly around the room and James surprised Lily with his dancing skills, but when she questioned him about it later he admitted taking a last minute lesson from Remus!!!
After they had finished dancing they left the room, and went down to Blue's stable for a moonlit ride.
James lifted her up on into the saddle, before climbing on himself and pressing in his heels.
They shot up into the sky, flying higher and higher, all around the forest and the grounds.
They flew for what felt like only ½ and hour, but was really roughly 3, before Lily fell asleep and James, with his arms tight around her, directed Blue to the ground and carried her up to the castle.
Lily woke just as they neared the dormitories and James gently set her down.
They shared one last, passionate kiss, before Lily and James headed off to bed, ending the perfect night.
