Lily frowned as she read the letter from her parents, it was a week before the holidays and her parents had just told her that they wanted her at home to meet Petunia's fiancé.

"Who would want to marry Petunia?" April asked Lily confused.

"I have no idea." Lily replied, just as confused and mystified as April.

"A brave man would marry Petunia, or an insanely dumb one" Jenny told them. This caused the girls to start laughing. Lily scrunched up the letter and threw it in the air. April quickly got out her wand and blasted it with some sparks. The result was a burning piece of paper falling back onto the table.

"Mission accomplished" Lily said happily.

"To right my sister" April said putting an arm around Lily.

"Have you spoken to James yet?" Jenny asked Lily. Lily's smile disappeared and she tried to think of an answer. In truth every time she thought of James she started to feel quite happy but then she'd remember how she'd treated him and how she'd reacted and then she'd feel quite depressed again.

"Um.no, not really" Lily said. "We haven't spoken about him loving me but we have spoken about the story that's going round" Lily said.

"The one about how you secretly ambushed James in the Common room and tried to force him to have sex with you?" Jenny said laughing.

"Or the one where you two were getting really passionate and Dumbledore walking in on you?" April asked.

"Or how about the one where-" Jenny started but never stopped.

"Alright, yeah, those ones" Lily said smiling. The story of her and James had been lost somewhere and many others had sprung from it, no doubt the Slytherins were trying to twist it as much as they could. Lily and her friends mostly laughed about it, the stories were so ridiculous but it did annoy her when several guys in the school had started throwing rude comments at her and suggesting they do things that Lily, quite frankly didn't want to do.

"You have to talk to him." Jenny said, like it was painful for her to talk about it.

"I can't." Lily said.

"Yes you can and speak of the devil." April said as she looked to the entrance of the Great hall. She had her fingers over her chin and lily knew she was waiting for Sirius. No one was quite sure how involved the two were as they seemed to bicker as much as they snogged. Lily looked up to see the Marauders coming into the hall. They were talking about something and Sirius had Peter in a headlock.

"Go and talk to him." April said pulling Lily to her feet as she got up. "There's no time like the present."

"April, no." Lily protested as April dragged her to the Marauders.

"Hi Sirius." April said as they met. Sirius grinned, let go of Peter and put his arms around April dramatically.

"My dearest girlfriend, how do I find thee on this fine cold day?" Sirius said a bit too loudly. April didn't care though.

"I might need a little warming up a bit later." She said in a slightly deeper, more seductive voice.

"A service I am more then willing to give." Sirius said with a wide cheeky grin. Remus rolled his eyes.

"Oh, James, Lily would like a word with you." April said as she followed Sirius down the table. Lily looked at James,

"Yeah, could we talk outside?" Lily asked. James nodded.

"If you want." They left the castle and walked on the school grounds. There was still grey in the sky as the sun rose and the thick snow soaked through their uniforms. Lily cursed herself for not bringing her cloak.

"I want to talk to you about a few months ago. When you said you loved me." Lily said. James looked at the floor.

"Oh, that." He said sounding depressed. Lily looked at him. He didn't look like his usual handsome self but he still looked incredibly fit.

"I want you to know that I'm fine with it. I just freaked." Lily said stopping and turning to face James. James looked at her, his eyes filled with sadness but a spark of hope. "And I'm willing to be friends again, or maybe, if possible slightly more then friends" Lily said. James' eyes widened. Lily smiled and took his hands.

"Are you serious?" James asked. Lily smiled and nodded.

"I've never been more serious." She said. The wind was picking up slightly and James' cloak rippled in the wind. The cold had started to penetrate Lily's clothes but she didn't care. She was with James, just looking at him made her feel warm inside.

"You're shivering" James said after a little while. He pulled his cloak off and wrapped it around Lily.

"What about you?" Lily said.

"What about me?" James asked with a smirk. Lily grinned.

"Nothing." She said. James crossed his arms and rubbed his upper arms.

"I think we should head back to the castle" James said. Lily nodded and let James take his hand as he led them back through the thick snow.

"Oh, James, before we go back into the castle, there's something I want to do" Lily said. James stopped and looked at her. Lily got closer to him and stood on her tiptoes and gently pressed her lips against his. His lips were so warm and soft and they tasted so sweet.

James could have said the same for Lily. Bells went of in his head and he pulled Lily closer to him. He heard her giggle slightly before he pressed his mouth against hers again. This time she didn't slap him like she would have done usually but she returned the kiss with a fiery passion. It was the perfect way to start the day.

Up in the main entrance of the castle. Jenny, April, Sirius and Remus were watching to see what happened. Peter had complained that he was hungry and had gone back into the great hall to get breakfast.

"Can you see anything?" April asked squinting.

"He just gave her his cloak" Jenny said. "I think you might need glasses" April looked at Jenny,

"No, vision is fine." April said.

"I don't get her." Sirius said. "One minute she's all angry at James for hating her, then she's angry at James for loving her. What is it with you girls?" Sirius asked.

"Never tell a girl you love her when she's least expecting it or if you've only been on first name terms for less then a week." April said, letting Sirius wrap his arms around her.

"This is actually a bit exciting." Remus said. "I can sort of see why girls are so fascinated in this kind of thing." Jenny gave Remus a smile

"Welcome to the world of Girls." Jenny said.

"Oh merlin, guys she just kissed him." April said excitedly.

"What!" Jenny asked She looked at the two figures standing in the snow. There was a romantic vibe coming off the grounds and the world seemed so magical and perfect.

"Yes!" April said throwing her hands in the air. Jenny and April hugged each other like they had just won the lottery.

"Now that I don't get." Remus said pointing at them.
