"It's just a few dislocated bones. If you just stay still Potter" Madam Pomfrey said as she got her wand out. James sat on the bed and watched carefully. Lily was standing next to him anxiously holding his good hand. Sirius had taken the snitch back down to the pitch to put it away. Madam Pomfrey flicked her wand and then put it away.

"Ok, all done." She said.

"Are you sure?" Lily asked anxiously, "He's not in pain anymore is he?"

"Oh, he's still in pain but from a few bruises but those will heal on their own after a few days." Madam Pomfrey said smiling at the girl's worry. She disappeared and James moved his arm to see if it was working.

"She is good." He said smirking. Lily hugged him tightly and James put his arms around her. "It's alright." He said to her.

"If I could I would stop you from playing Quidditch, it's a really dangerous game." Lily said.

"But you enjoyed it?" James said grinning. Lily smiled.

"It was fun." She said. James gave her a soft and gentle kiss on the lips, which Lily happily returned. She had missed James' kisses so much.

"Good." James said. They kissed again but more passionately this time. After a few minutes Madam Pomfrey came out of her office and ushered them out. He held her hand tightly and they left the hospital wing. Quite a few girls were crowded around the hospital wing door trying to see if James was alright. He walked out of the hospital wing staring happily at Lily and ignoring all the other girls. They looked at Lily very annoyed and a few swore they'd make her life hell but Lily knew they wouldn't dare. She was head girl after all and she could make their lives hell as long as she was in school. As soon as they were in the Gryffindor Common room they were showered by confetti. James beamed but Lily frowned slightly.

"How many times do I have to tell-"

"Shut up Lily." April said laughing. "It's a party, we've won a match. Get used to it. It is our last year after all." Lily nodded but still felt slightly annoyed that the Gryffindors were having an unauthorised party. James pulled Lily through the crowds of Gryffindors. He received pats on the back and many people gave him words of admiration. Sirius suddenly appeared in front of them. He held two bottles in front of them.

"For the Head students" He said passing both Lily and James a bottle of butterbeer each. Lily took one and looked at James.

"Relax." James said. "Stop being so…uptight."

"I'm not uptight." Lily said, taking a swig of her butterbeer.

"Prove it." James said moving nearer to Lily. She looked at him and smiled.

"As much as I want you all for myself I think you have hundreds of adoring fans, Potter" Lily said.

With the help of James, Remus, April and Jenny, Lily managed to break up the party well after midnight. Sirius did every thing to keep the party going but Remus transfigured him into a rock to shut him up for a few moments.

"Remus!" April said picking up the Sirius Rock. "Turn him back."

"Once the party's over." Remus said.

"Ok BED" James shouted over the younger Gryffindors. There was a moan of protest but the five students managed to usher everyone away. When the Common room was empty they could see the true mess that they had made.

"Oh god." Lily said collapsing into the sofa that James was sitting on. James pulled her closer to him and nuzzled her neck.

"Oh god they really are nearly as bad as April and Sirius." Jenny said turning away.

"Remus, turn Sirius back" April said to Remus. He said the counter spell and Sirius appeared in place of a rock.

"Ok, so who's up for another-" Sirius looked around. "Where is everyone?" He asked

"Party is over," Remus said. Sirius spotted Lily and James on the sofa and grinned.

"Not for them." He said nodding to Lily and James.

"I think we should go to bed." April said quietly.

"Of course, April why don't you come to my bed?" Sirius asked her cheekily. Remus watched April's normally flawless face turn red. April didn't blush easily.

"Um…" April started, she tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear, "I…"

"I'll kick Peter and Remus out for the night." Sirius said.

"No, I'm really tired." April said. Sirius looked slightly annoyed but April added in a whisper, "tomorrow" Sirius's face lit up and he spun on his heel and ran around the room cheering.

"Well I'm going to bed, playing Chaser is exhausting." Jenny said.

"You did really well." James managed to say before he pulled Lily into another passionate kiss. Jenny smiled tiredly and pulled April after her. April didn't protest and put her head on Jenny's shoulder as they walked up the stairs.

"Hey, Prongs, you coming?" Sirius asked as he and Remus headed to their own dorms.

"No." James said. Lily grinned and kissed his cheek.

"He's staying with me." Lily said.

"Forever and ever." James said grinning back. Remus smiled, he felt very happy for James and Lily. He was well aware of how dark the world was getting, deaths every other day and people under various curses, Lily and James were lucky to have found each other. He could have said the same for April and Sirius but it had always been obvious they would get together eventually. Remus was always careful not to have a relationship that lasted too long because he was scared of what people might say if they found out he was a werewolf. Sirius shook his head and turned to go up the stairs.

Soon Lily and James were the only ones in the common room though they hadn't noticed. After a while Lily pulled away from James breathlessly. She was slightly red in the face and it felt like the temperature had gone up.

"Lily?" James asked. He looked slightly dishevelled. His hair was all over the place and his glasses were slightly wonky on his nose.

"Let me catch me breath." Lily said breathlessly. James nodded and pulled her on him and let her lie on him while she steadied her breathing. James closed his eyes and pressed his face against Lily's hair. It smelt so good, Lily smelt so good. Lily turned and put a hand on James' chest and played with the material on James' clothes. He had changed during the party and he looked too good.

"James." Lily said after a few moments of amazingly comfortable quiet.

"hm…" James said.

"How long have you been an…" Lily glanced around the room quickly. "How long have you been an animagi?" James opened his eyes and looked at Lily. She was looking up at him waiting for an answer.

"A few years now," James said.

"Why did you become Animagi?" Lily asked. She had gone back to playing with the small bit of his shirt again.

"Well, to make a very long story short when we found out Remus was a werewolf we didn't like the idea of him experiencing the transformations on his own. Sirius and I had the idea of becoming Animagi and keep him company during his transformations. It took a while to get Peter to agree but he did in the end and we started trying to learn to be animagi. When we did become Animagi we were able to accompany Remus on his transformations and he became a lot calmer." James said recalling the whole process of becoming animagi.

"And you're not registered?" Lily asked.

"No, not even Dumbledore knows. You're the only person outside our group that knows. Sirius got really angry the night after I told you because we promised we wouldn't tell anyone." James said. Lily nodded and put her arm over James' chest.

"Well, I won't tell anyone. Tell Sirius your secret is safe with me." Lily said. "Though I suggest he tell April. She gets more annoyed then I do when something is kept from her." Lily said. She felt so comfortable being with James. She could feel all his muscles under his clothes and though she tried not to think about it she just felt like tearing his clothes off and exploring more of his body then just his mouth. James felt the same way about Lily and was keeping his hormones in check. He decided there and then that he was going to ask Lily to marry him before the school year was out. When he had no idea but he couldn't imagine a life with out Lily, he didn't want to imagine a life without Lily. He wrapped his arms around her and made sure she was comfortable and soon they fell asleep on the sofa.

"Where's Lily?" April asked looking at Lily's empty bed. It was nearly ten in the morning and she had a mountain of homework to do. Jenny rubbed her eyes and pulled the duvet over her head.

"Have you had a look in the common room?" she mumbled. April thought that would be a good idea and glanced at the other two beds in their room. Their occupants still fast asleep. April felt completely awake and felt like doing anything but homework. She hummed to herself as she walked down the stairs from the girls dorm and saw Lily sitting on the sofa reading a book. James, Sirius and Peter were in the corner already hard at work with their homework.

"Stupid Potions homework!" Sirius said crushing his quill then immediately regretting it. April smiled and went to Lily.

"Nice night?" April said happily into Lily's ear. Lily was caught by surprised and nearly jumped off the sofa.

"April!" Lily said breathing hard. April grinned and jumped over arm of the sofa and landed next to Lily.

"What you reading?" She asked Lily.

"A Muggle book. Called Jane Eyre." Lily said. April looked at her slightly surprised and took the book from Lily. April read the back of the book and gave it to Lily.

"It sounds boring." She said.

"You don't read." Lily said.

"I so do." April snapped back.

"Yeah, magazines." Lily said with a smile. April grinned.

"Told you I read." April said. "Why aren't you doing homework?"

"Done it all." Lily said returning to her book.

"Oo, can I borrow it." April asked. Lily gave her a suspicious look.

"When you've finished." Lily said smirking. "Other wise you'll copy my work." April's smile disappeared.

"Would I ever do that?" April asked.

"You did it all through every year so far." Lily said cocking her head to the side. April sighed.

"Fine but if I need help will you help me?" April asked.

"Of course." Lily said. "Provided it isn't to do with Muggles because you should know enough about them already" April rolled her eyes.

"I don't take Muggle Studies anymore."

"Good." Lily said. She went back to her book and April realised that she wouldn't be able to get through to Lily for a while so she went back up to the dorm where one of their other room mates was just creeping out of bed. April picked up her bag and lugged it down the stairs.
