A/N: Thanx for the reviews! Sorry it took so long to update! Hope you like this chapter…

I woke up really early on the morning of our first Hogsmeade trip. In my own dorm room, thank you very much. Alone, in my own bed, for that matter. The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. I begged the class to forgive me and let them tear up their quizzes. Sirius and Gwen were still hanging around together just enough to annoy Eden. Eden had been walking around in a daze for a couple of days. Remus had been absent for about two or three days. Peter was, well, gosh knows where. James was still perfect. However, I am not quite sure how perfect he will be after today.

As head boy and girl, the two of us had to completely organize this trip. We also have to make sure everyone is accounted for and where they are supposed to be. It was going to be one crazy day.

I jumped out of bed, nervous about the day that lay ahead of me. I woke up Gwen and Eden with a shake and got dressed, fixed my hair, and brushed my teeth. Before I knew it, I was running downstairs.

"Wow, Evans, where's the fire?" Sirius questioned, catching me around my stomach.

"No fire, just in a rush. Have you seen James?" I said in one breath.

"I'm right here," James said from behind me.

"Oh gee, that's nice, wouldn't have had the papers I needed without you," I muttered.

"I love you, too," James said sarcastically as he, Sirius, and I headed towards the Great Hall for breakfast.

"Oh yeah, I love you," I added.

"I'm a side note?" James said, pretending to be shocked.

"You know, James, I'm surprised you didn't see it coming," Sirius started.

"See what coming?" James asked.

"Well, you should have known that she would crack under pressure," Sirius finished.

"I'm not cracking!" I argued as we all sat down.

"Oh really, then why are you not eating?" Sirius asked.

"Because, because," I stuttered.

"Not hungry? Classic cracking under pressure symptoms," Sirius said.

"Hey Sirius, look! It's pancakes!" James said.

"What? Pancakes? Where?" Sirius asked, looking around, wildly.

"At the Hufflepuff table! Go before their all gone!" James said. Sirius then ran to the Hufflepuff table and proceeded to push someone out of the way and start inhaling pancakes. He even went as far as to use someone else's fork and knife. He just grabbed it out of their hand.

"Thank you," I thank James, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"No problem, after all, I wouldn't want you to crack anymore," James said, playfully.

"Shuddup!" I said giving him a punch in the stomach.

"I'm wounded," James whined.

"What are you two lovebirds doing here so early?" Eden questioned as she and Gwen walked in and sat down.

"We had to get up early to start making sure things for the trip are in order," I answered.

"Wow, James, so how does it feel to see cracked in the center Lily?" Eden asked James.

"I am not cracked in the center!" I screamed.

"No, Lily-dear, you're not," Gwen began. She then turned and whispered to James and Eden: "You never want to get on the bad side of someone who's already crazy."

"I'm not crazy or cracked up in the center!" I argued.

"Of course you aren't, Evans," Sirius said with a wink as he sat down.

"Done with your pancakes?" I questioned him.

"Yeah, they were great," Sirius said, patting his stomach. Eden got visibly tense at the sight of Sirius.

"Did anyone else get some?" I questioned him, trying to shift the topic.

"There were other people there?" Sirius asked, looking around, confused.

"No, mate," James started, "The entire world revolves around you and those pancakes were only for you to eat."

"Thank goodness, for a second there, I was starting to think you other people mattered," Sirius said, noticeably relieved. Everyone started to laugh at this comment, except of course Sirius. He could not even fathom what about this was so funny.

"Well, James and I have got to go start getting things ready," I said pulling James up from the table by the sleeve.

James and I worked, for what seemed like forever. We lined people up, we checked their names off the list, we put people back in lines because they couldn't seem to stay in their lines, we got them all into Hogsmeade, we counted them again, we agreed on a place and time to meet up, and we were all off.

"So, where do you want to go first?" James asked looking down at me. I am not quite sure how, but we had managed to get time alone, without our friends. While I love them all to death, I still wanted time alone with my boyfriend when we were not working on our head boy/girl duties.

"I don't know, maybe the café," I answered.

"Sounds fun," James said as we walked off, towards the café, "Do you like it there?"

"Yeah, it reminds me of a café back in the muggle world that I used to go to with my family."

"Back when your parents were still together?" James asked as we made our way in the door.

"Yeah, good time, huh?" I asked with a laugh, "Hey, James, you know how you always say that your life isn't as perfect as it seems?"

"Yeah, why?" He asked as we sat down in a booth.

"Well, I did tell you about my family," I started.

"I see," James said smiling at me.

"I know that you don't want to talk about it, but I was just wondering…" I trailed off as the server asked us what we wanted. We both ordered tea and cookies.

"Well, you see, it's not that I don't get along with my parents or anything. It's just, they want me to be someone I'm not. They think I should go for the professional quidditch thing, even though they know that it's not what I bloody want. It's more my dad than my mum. He thinks I have a natural talent and I shouldn't waste it. I think I should do what makes me happy. It's not a big deal though, it just kind of makes me feel like some sort of disappointment or something," James said with a sigh, he obviously did not like talking about the topic.

"That sucks, but atleast they care at all," I said, sympathetically.

"Yeah, I should quit whining," He said with a smile. Our drinks got there and we started to sip the tea. We sat there making small talk until we finished at the café. Though I wanted to split the bill, he insisted on paying.

"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked James as we walked out of the café, into the cold.

"Actually, I'm really sorry, but I promised the guys I would meet them at Zonko's," James started, "You can come with me if you like."

"Oh, no, it's alright. I should probably go stock up on some stuff," I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

"Ok, well, then, bye. I love you," James said, bending down to give me a kiss on the lips.

"Love you, too," I said, kissing him back.

James and I did not see each other again until it was time to leave. We had to check to make sure that everyone was there. I did not say much to him. I was kind of hurt that he would rather spend time with his friends than me, but I did not want to seem like one of those possessive girlfriends, so I didn't say anything.

"Lils, what's wrong, you've been awful quiet?" James asked concerned. He caught me on my way upstairs on my way to bed.

"Nothing, just tired or something," I lied.

"Are you sure that you don't want to talk about anything?"

"No, I think I'm just going to go to bed," I answered.

"Ok, well, sleep well. I love you," James said, hugging me.

"Love you, too."

After I went to bed, I lied awake for quite some time. I felt hurt because James left me and stupid because I was hurt and wondering if I should say anything. I did not want to become one of those annoying girlfriends. I decided to just let it go. I was sure it did not mean anything and did not want to fight again.
