I woke early on the day after James got out of the hospital wing. I rolled out of bed and got ready for the day. Eden was already gone and Gwen was lying in bed. I am not sure if she was asleep or just avoiding people. I made my way down to the common room to find James, Remus, and Sirius (and quite possibly, Peter)
"Morning guys," I said giving James a kiss on the cheek, "What are you all doing here?"
"Well, we wanted to go the breakfast, but your hung from a pole by a pack of pixies, fell off the pole, and was run over by a stampede of hippogriffs boyfriend would not leave without you," Sirius said, shooting James an angry look.
"Her what?" James asked.
"Nothing," Sirius said quickly as we left the common room.
"No really, what?" James asked curiously.
"Her hung by a pole by a pack of—" Remus started, but stopped when Sirius stepped on his foot.
"Nothing, James, don't worry about it," Sirius said as we entered the Great Hall.
"It's nothing," I told James as we sat down. He did not look very assured.
"Hey, Lily, where's Gwen?" Sirius asked.
"Why do you want to know?" James asked.
"Shut up, James. She's sleeping," I told Sirius.
"So, Remus, what happened to your gal pal?" Sirius asked, between bites of food.
"You have syrup dripping down your chin," I told Sirius. He proceeded to wipe his chin with his hand and then lick his hand.
"She's… she's," Remus started, "You guys just haven't had time to meet her yet."
"Oh, well, I'd like to meet her soon," I told Remus.
"Hey! Look! It's Little Boy Green and Little Girl Blue!" Sirius said between bites of food. Sure enough, the owls were there with our letters. Shweetie brought me one from my dad.
Lily,
Just wanted to let you know, the weddings going to be on Christmas Eve. Hope you and your friend can make it.
Dad
"Sirius, how did my mom know I was in the hospital wing?" James asked when he finished reading his letter.
"Well, maybe if you would tell her these things, I wouldn't have to," Sirius answered, knowingly. I sensed that this was the right time to tell James the news.
"Hey, James, my dad and his fiancé are getting married on Christmas Eve. He said he hoped we could make it," I told him.
"Yeah, I can't wait to meet your family and see if they're really as terrible as you say," James said with a smile.
"You're spending Christmas with her?" Sirius asked, pointing at me.
"Yeah, Christmas with her and New Years with all of you at my mum's party," James answered.
"Well, where am I going to go?" I mean, I always spend my holidays with your family," Sirius said, sadly, "I guess I could always stay here for the holidays," He said with a sigh.
"I'm sorry, mate," James said, "I didn't even think about it," James said. Sirius's face fell. I felt really badly. It was my fault after all.
"Hey, Sirius, do you want to come to my house with us?" I asked him. It could not turn out that badly, could it?
"Oh, Lily," Sirius said looking truly touched, but still trying to be macho. He then threw his arms around me and pulled me into a tight hug catching me by surprise. He then stood up and skipped out of the Great Hall.
"Lily, I think you just might regret that," Remus said.
"How bad could it be?" I asked Remus.
"Well, isn't your family all muggles?" Remus asked me.
"So what?" I asked.
"Lily, Sirius has never been out of the magical world," James said.
"Well, what else was I supposed to do?" I wondered aloud.
"I just hope you know what you're getting yourself into," James said quite seriously.
The rest of the day was boring. James and I taught our class. It went very well now that he was back. They totally listened when he told them to be quiet. I have to remember to ask him how to get them to listen.
"Hey, Lils, did Gryffindor win?" James asked me as we were picking up after class.
"Yeah, we're in the playoffs," I told him.
"So, it's all on me? Whether we win or lose rests on my shoulders?" James asked me.
"No, not really," I tried telling him.
"Yeah, it does. I mean, isn't it up to the captain to make sure the team is prepared to win?" James asked me seeming kind of panicked, "I don't know how we're going to win. I mean we're a good team, but our beaters can't seem to focus. Without beater, it's impossible. I'm sorry, I've got to go… we need to have an emergency practice," James said absentmindedly.
"Ok, well, bye I guess," I told him.
"Oh, and I'm not going to be back until late tonight. So, goodnight," James told me.
"Where are you going to be?" I asked him.
"Just… around," He told me.
"Ok then," I told him trying not to pressure him anymore, "Well, goodnight. Love you."
"Love you, too," He said giving me a kiss on the forehead and leaving.
That night when I was in the common room doing my homework, I noticed that none of the Marauders were there. I think I worried about James all night. Where could he be that he could not tell me?
