A/N: Thanx for the reviews! This is the next chapter! I hope you like it!!
I woke up about a week after James and I started dating. I loved him more than ever. We spent all of our free time together. I rolled out of bed and got dress, spending extra time to fix my hair, until it was cascading down my back in long red layers. I went downstairs to find James waiting for me.
"Hey, beautiful," He said giving me a kiss on the cheek, "How'd you sleep?"
"Great."
"I'm sure you had wonderful dreams filled with me, without a shirt on," James said smugly.
"Actually, I think it was Sirius," I teased. We still had not found out who it was that Sirius liked.
"I'm wounded!" James said teasingly, as we made our way to the Great Hall for breakfast.
We got to the Great Hall to find all of our friends there already. Sirius was teasing Gwen; Eden was staring at Sirius, longingly, and Remus explaining a Defense Against the Dark Arts assignment to Peter. When we walked in, they all looked up.
"Oh look, it's the happy couple," Sirius teased.
"Aren't they so cute?" Gwen chimed in. Before James or I could tell them to shut up, the owls arrived with the mail. I got three letters, one from Oliver, one from mum, and one from dad.
Lily,
Hey sweetie, it's ok with me if you want to have a friend over for Christmas. It's also alright if you want to go over for New Years. I hope you spend at least some of Christmas here, instead of all of it with your dad.
Love you,
Mummy
Lily,
It's ok with me if you want a guest to come for the wedding. I hope you plan on spending Christmas here though, Beth really wants to get to know you.
Love you,
Dad and Beth
Shorty,
So there's a guy? I'm going to torture him. If he's reading this: Be afraid, very afraid!
Love ya,
Oliver
"Afraid?" James questioned.
"He's just kidding," I answered, James did not look convinced.
"Compared to me, he should be a lightweight!" Sirius announced.
"Yeah, you're bloody scary!" James said sarcastically.
"We've got to go," I announced.
"To make-out?" Sirius asked.
"No, to talk to McGonagall about the Halloween feast; we have to plan it," James responded.
"I you guys want time alone together, just tell us," Sirius said.
James and I were on our way to McGonagall's office, right before our first class. As head boy and girl, we were responsible for planning the Halloween feast, less than a month away.
"So what do you want to do this year?" James questioned.
"You know, the same as normal. I guess," I responded.
"Lily, Lily, Lily, darling-dear, we've got to be different! Ahead of the game! The students have to remember us! We need to go down in history as the best feast-planners in history!" James said, excited.
"Or not."
"Lily, no drive, huh? How you ever got to be head girl with that attitude, I have no idea."
"Can't we just do something simple?" I questioned.
"Simple!?" James responded, looking like he had been stabbed. That was as far as we got, because just then, we walked into McGonagall's office.
"So, Evans, Potter, what are your plans?" Professor McGonagall asked sternly.
"I don't really know, something simple and fun—" I started.
"Simple and fun!?!" James asked looking wounded, "Lily, did we not just discuss
this!"
"Maybe bobbing for apples and—" I started again.
"Lily, Lily, Lily," James started, "You need to have some real fun."
"What do you plan to do, Potter?" McGonagall questioned, again.
"Skeletons to serve food, corpses everywhere, bats flying overhead, and fake blood everywhere!" James responded, much too enthusiastically.
"If that's what you two want, I expect you to be completely in charge—" McGonagall started.
"Please, Professor, can we get together a committee on the Friday of Halloween to help us?" James requested.
"As you wish. Dismissed," McGonagall responded. We both thanked her and were on our way.
"Blood? Corpses? Bats? Skeletons?" I screamed and asked at the same time.
"Won't it be grand," James said, just before we took our seats in our first class. It did not sound grand to me. It sounded downright morbid.
The rest of the day went by well. That is, until we were in the Great Hall for supper.
"Lily, what's this I hear about you not liking Halloween?" Sirius demanded, he and James walking up to me. James sat down on the side of me and Sirius started inhaling food.
"I never said I didn't like it—"
"Pish-posh! You didn't like any of our ideas!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Your ideas?" I questioned James.
"Well, it, he—"
"Of course they were my ideas," started Sirius, "I mean our little James is a bit bright, but he's not the brightest pumpkin in the patch is he? He couldn't come up with something this brilliant!"
"So, you're the brightest pumpkin in the patch?" I asked Sirius.
"'Course I am!" Sirius responded, smugly.
"Hey!" James shouted.
"Nevermind you," Sirius said, waving James off.
"I don't think all your ideas are possible—" I started.
"You know, Lily, if this relationship is going to work," He said gesturing between James and I, "You're going to have to learn to trust me." And with that, he took a last sip of pumpkin juice and walked off.
"What was that all about?" I questioned James.
"I have no earthly clue," James responded, flabbergasted.
Later that night, after quidditch, James and I were sitting in the common room. Gwen came rushing up to us.
"Oh my gosh Lily," Gwen said, hysterically, "Daniel just broke up with me!"
"What happened? You seemed so happy together!" I stated.
"He said that I had feelings for someone else and that it wasn't fair of me to string him along when I didn't really want to be with him," Gwen said between sobs. Eden walked up and put her arms around Gwen.
"I know, guys can be such jerks," Eden said, shooting a look at James.
"What? I didn't even do anything!" James said, looking confused.
"I know, but Sirius isn't here for me to glare at and you're the next best thing. Besides, all you guys are the same!" Eden said, still hugging Gwen.
"Well, gee, thanks," James shot back. Eden and Gwen went up to the common room, Eden shooting one last angry glare at James.
"Does she do that on the quidditch field?" I asked.
"Yeah, but it's better than when she and Sirius were dating. They would just start snogging in mid-air, completely ignoring the bludgers. I was bruised for weeks." James responded, perfectly serious.
"Oh poor baby!" I teased, "Am I the only one that finds it weird that within two weeks, Sirius broke up with his girlfriend, claiming he had feelings for someone else, and Gwen's boyfriend broke up with her claiming she had feelings for someone else?"
"I was just thinking the same thing," James responded.
"Well, I better go up to my dorm and try to cheer up Gwen," I said, getting up.
"Goodnight, love you," James said getting up and giving me a kiss. That never got old.
"Love you, too," I said walking to my room.
~~Well, that's it! Now, please, please, please go review!~~
