*Chapter 4*
Lily opened her dorm room to find it empty. "Anyone here?" she called walking to her dresser to get pajamas.
"In here!" She heard Delia's voice from the bathroom. Walking into the bathroom she heard the door click open again and saw Dawn enter with a huge plate of junk food.
"I figured we could have a 'Girl Talk' tonight seeing as we're probably still oh highs from the dance, Plus, Alice needs to divulge the details of her date"
"When she gets back, anyways" Lily said smiling before entering the bathroom to find Delia brushing her teeth.
"Don't bother Dawn's got enough junk food out there to last us a year." Lily said laughing before going into one of the toilet stalls.
Coming out of the bathroom, Lily found Dawn and Delia already in their pajamas lying on their stomachs in the middle of the floor, already starting on Dawn's massive junk food plate.
"We're going for a walk tomorrow night" Delia was saying as Lily sat down.
"Tyler?" Lily questioned.
"Sebastian"
"The keeper?"
"Yeah him. He asked me to dance after Tyler. He's nice, I'd never really talked to him before, it's weird that we've been in the same house for 5 years."
"Well that's cool, Sebastian's a nice guy, I've talked to him a few times before when I was hanging out with Todd."
"Yeah, so how bout you two, dance with anyone"
"OH yeah, oh Lily I'm sorry for ditching you, I didn't think you'd mind. Tristan asked me to dance... and..." Lily interrupted laughing
"You must have ditched me at the same time I ditched you." She grinned "But even if you had I wouldn't have minded."
"You ditched me?" Dawn put on a fake put off face "for whom?"
"Well..." Lily started s the door swung open and Alice walked or rather skipped in. "ALI! We're having a quote unquote girl talk, get in your P.J.'s and join us, we want to here all about your date!" The girls spent the next two hours talking about Alice's Date with Frank in extreme detail.
"Guess what he asked me after the dance?!" she paused for half a second before "He asked me to be his girlfriend!"
"Awww, you two are so cute together!"
Alice sighed dreamily. "Yeah, well, that's my story how about you guys?"
"Well, I'm going for a walk with Sebastian tomorrow, Dawn danced with Tristan, and Lily was about to tell us, when you walked in."
"Sebastian as in our keeper? And Tristan from Gryffindor?" Alice asked receiving nods in response. "I'm sorry for stealing your limelight Lils." Lily laughed at her friend's apology and waved it off.
"It's ok, you're the one who got the boyfriend, I wanted to hear about it."
"So Lils, who did you ditch me for?" Dawn asked her eyes sparkling.
"Jay asked me to dance."
"Really?"
"Yeah, we talked a bit, we danced the rest of the night, and oh yeah, he kissed me." A smile playing on her lips as she remembered the moment.

Lily didn't drag herself out of bed until 1 the next day. She threw on some jeans and a t-shirt, grabbed a book and headed down to the common room. When she got their Emily came over and handed her a letter.
"This came for you this morning but you weren't there, so I brought it up for you."
"Thanks Emily" Lily said taking the letter. Sitting down in chair, she opened it.
Lily –
Alice and Frank finally get together???? How bout you? Any new Guys? Aww common you know you want to spill! OH yes, your coming here for Christmas break! I've decided. Its boring around her without you, way to quite. Anyway, nothing new here, except the manager of The Accio's called, they want me to design their clothes for their new tour. Anyways, that's all the news around here! Write back soon!
-May
Lily smiled as she read her aunts letter. She folded the letter and started walking upstairs for some paper and a quill, but when she got to her dorm the door opened and Alice came out.
"Hey Lily, want to go get some lunch?"
"Yeah, just let me put this on my bed."
The two girls walked down to the great hall together, and sat down at the Ravenclaw table grabbing some sandwiches, and chatting while they ate.
"Lily?" Alice said as they stood up to exit the hall. "I'm sorry I haven't been a really great friend lately, spending so much time with Frank."
"Alice, it's ok, I don't mind, I think its cute, plus, he makes you happy, and I want you to be happy."
"Thanks Lily." Alice said smiling at her friend.
"Sure thing, I have to study for that potions exam on Monday, want to come?"
"Yeah," Alice said linking her arm with Lily's are the two girls started towards the dorm to get their books.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily was sitting on flat rock that extended over the lake that night. Alice was out with Frank, Delia was on her walk with Sebastian, and Dawn was studying for the potions exam on Monday. She was writing a letter to May, when she felt someone sit down next to her.
"Hey" a deep voice said softly after a few minutes.
"Hi Jay" she said without looking up from her letter.
"Whatch'ya doing?"
"Writing May" she said signing her name folding the letter and putting it in her bag.
"Oh" he said leaning back so he was lying on his back feet dangling over the edge of the rock, hands behind his head. They stayed silent for a couple minutes James watching Lily, watch the lake. "Lily?"
"hmm?" she hummed turning her head toward him her green eyes locking with his hazel ones.
He stood up and offered her his hand. "Come with me?"
She hesitated before she slung the strap of her bag over her shoulder and grabbed his hand with her own, letting him pull her up and lead her.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see" he replied his eyes twinkling at her. She flowed silently till he dropped her hand motioned for her to stay put, before walking up and down the corridor three times. Lily watching on amusement in her eyes when she recognized them to be at the Room of Requirement.
"Do I want to see what's through that door?" she asked approaching the door he was opening, her eyes twinkling with amusement a smile playing on her lips.
He grinned at her and motioned her to move though. Stepping threw the door way, she found herself in kitchen. Looking back at him she raised an eyebrow. He smiled and led her to the counter sitting her down in a chair saying "stay here" before walking around the counter "They say the fastest way to a girl's heart is to cook for them. So, I'm going to cook for you."
"I thought that was the fastest way to a mans heart." She said smirking.
"Works that way too," he grinned at her.
"So what are you cooking for me?"
"The only thing I know how to cook, Spaghetti." He said holding up a bottle of sauce tilting it back and forth.
She laughed, and recognizing the sauce as the same kind he had recommended for her she smiled. She watched as he put the noodles in the boiling pot of water.
"Meat sauce or just tomato?"
"Meat" she answered, before watching him take a package of ground beef out of the fridge, and cook it.
"Sure you don't want me to do anything?" "Nope, you stay there," he commanded, pouring the sauce over the cooked meat.
"If you say so" they remained silent until James set a plate in front of her, and leaning over the counter, swirled some onto the fork, and held it up for her to eat. Opening her mouth she stared into his eyes as he placed the bite into her mouth.
"Did it work?"
It took her a minute to remember his earlier comment. "I don't know, maybe another bite will sway me." She teased, prompting him to raise another bite to her lips. "I think it did," she said as he raised a third bite to her mouth which she chewed before continuing, "but you know all you had to do was ask,"
"Well then Miss Evens, will you go out with me?"
"Yes Mister Potter I will." She laughed as he punched the air, and did a victory dance type of thing. They left soon after that when they realized it was past midnight, and way after curfew. James walked her back to the Ravenclaw Common room luckily not meeting any teachers, where he leaned down and kissed her, before pulling slightly away.
"Good night" he whispered his mouth less than an inch away from hers, before brushing her lips with his and pulling away.
"Good night Jay." She said before muttering the password and walking through the entry way as the statue of an elf moved out of the way.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
The moment Lily stepped into her dorm she was attacked with questions.
"Where have you been?" "Why are you coming in at 1?" "Who were you with?" "Why are you smiling, we were worried!"
"Relax guys, I'm fine, I'm sorry I worried you. I was with Jay"
"and I suppose your going to say you just friendly acquaintances?"
"no." Lily responded before darting into the bathroom, leaving three dumbstruck girls staring at where she had just been standing. Seconds after she locked the bathroom door she herd pounding on it and Dawn yelling "What's that supposed to mean? Come on Lily let us in!"
"It means" she said opening the door a few minutes later, grinning, dressed in her pajamas, face washed, and teeth brushed, "That we're going out." Then she jumped into her bed and drew her curtains, which were wrenched open three seconds later by and three grinning faces appeared.
"Oh no, your telling us all about it." Alice said hopping onto the bed next to Lily while dawn and Delia climbed on and sat cross legged at the end.
Lily grinned. "Well, when I was sitting by the lake...."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*!!!*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *
Lily woke up the next day around eleven, and looking around she realized they had fallen asleep while talking; Alice's head was resting in her lap, while Delia and Dawn were curled up at the end of her bed. Not wanting to disturb them, she put a pillow under Alice's head before slipping out of the bed, grabbing some clothes and heading into the bathroom for a quick shower.
When she exited the bathroom a little while later putting her hair into a ponytail, she saw Delia up and stretching.
"Hey" she whispered
"Remind me never to do that again, my neck hurts like a bitch" Delia replied quietly.
Lily chuckled softly "I have to mail a letter to May, want to come to The Owlery with me before lunch?"
"Sure I have to mail one to, can you wait for me to take a quick shower?"
"Yeah, I have to add a P.S. anyway" Lily grinned, and walked to her bag to pull out her letter. And on second though also pulled out her wand and stuck in the back pocket of her jeans.
Unfolding it, Lily dipped her quill in ink and added a note at the bottom.
'P.S. You know how I said that James had kissed me? Well he did more, he cooked me spaghetti, and asked me to go out with him, and I'll tell you the story at Christmas!
Delia hadn't come out yet, so Lily picked up a book and leaned on her desk reading it until the door to the bathroom opened and Delia walked out. Lily put down her book, picked up her letter, while Delia got a letter out of her bedside table, and the two headed out of the dorm to The Owlery.
"So you know about my love life now, how are things going with Sebastian? How was that walk?"
"Oh it was fun, He's a great guy." The chatted happily the rest of the way to the owlery.
Entering the owlery they bumped into someone Lily hadn't had a problem with since the train ride.
"Still hanging out with mudbloods Clemons?" the greasy haired boy sneered.
"Fuck off Snape." Delia responded, anger apparent in her eyes
"I don't think I will, I have as much right to be here are you do." The two girls tried to ignore him as they tied their letters to owls, Delia to Vincent, the Owl she and her Twin brother shared, Lily to a school owl. But when they turned to leave Snape tripped Delia, Lily immediately took out her wand and threw a curse at him, leaving him in a long lace trimmed green dress, a towering hat topped with a moth eaten vulture, holding a crimson handbag, before helping Delia up and leaving the Owlery, yelling over her shoulder.
"Don't bother trying to change it back; it won't go back for twenty-four hours!"
"Lily that was great, where did you get that idea?" Delia asked when they were about halfway to the great hall and Lily had slowed down from her angry power walk.
"It's the kind of stuff Alice's mother wears, don't know how Alice has any fashion sense at all growing up with that women, but she's nice enough, strict though" Lily grinned at Delia, "Snape did look pretty funny, I was just so pissed off I threw the first hex that came to mind, I can deal with him calling me a mudblood, but I cant take people bothering my friends"
"I wonder if he'll come into the great hall in that outfit... maybe I can throw more vegetables at him." Delia said grinning, causing Lily to laugh.
"maybe we can add something sticky this time, like honey, or maybe a piece of toast with peanut butter or jelly on it. ooo... it can be called 'attack of the flying vegetables Part 2 – Attack of the sticky foods ' "
The rest of the walk to the great hall was spent plotting what kind of food to throw at Snape next time he was in the great hall, so was most of their meal. They had moved onto a bowl of jello when James appeared beside her, catching the tail end of her comment.
"....flip it over and splat."
" Flip what over?" he asked sitting down beside her.
"Oh we're deciding which types of food to throw at Snape, when he gets hungry enough to come in here, although, we might have to wait for tomorrow to but attack of the flying vegetables part two attack of the sticky foods into action"
"Why would you have to wait till tomorrow? He always eats in the great hall"
"We ran into him in the owlery, he was bothering us, and I lost my temper when he tripped Delia, oh you know Delia right? Delia, James, James Delia, Anyway, I put him in a dress, a hat with a vulture on in and a handbag, he wont be able to change until tomorrow" Lily said grinning sheepishly. James however was almost in tears he was laughing so hard.
"Hey Lily, have you seen... what's so funny??" A voice from behind her asked. She turned to find Frank standing there, looking at James curiously
"Hey Frank, Alice wasn't awake the last time I saw her I assume that's who your looking for, but that was awhile ago, and James is laughing like a crazed maniac, because, I just told him I hexed Snape into a dress, a hat with a vulture on it, and a red handbag, which he wont be able to reverse or twenty four hours." Frank laughed at the image, not nearly as hard as James though.
"Hey Frank, Lily, Delia, James What's so funny?" asked Alice as she and Dawn walked up to join them, kissing Frank before she sat down on Lily's other side and pulled Frank down next to her.
"Hey Alice" Lily said "and this is the last time I'm telling this story, Delia and I ran into Snape in the owlery, and I hexed him into something your mother would wear, You know vulture hat, huge crimson handbag and all. It wont change back for 24 hours either." Alice immediately started laughing while Dawn asked
"Wait... let me get this straight... Snape... is walking around, in a dress, a hat with a vulture on it, holding a red handbag?" when Lily nodded, Dawn started shaking with laughter, crossing her arms on the table and laying her head on them. Lily and Delia watched the four laughing figures with amusement in their eyes, chuckling, quietly,
"Is it really this funny?" Lily asked.
getting a unanimous "YES" in response.
"Hey Jamie-boy, what are you doing over hear? And What the hell is so funny?" Lily groaned as James pointed to her in response to his best friends question still laughing to hard to talk.
"IM not telling it again, ask Delia"
Delia sighed and repeated the story to Sirius, who after regaining his breath from laughing immediately took off presumably in search of Snape.
After everyone had finally sobered enough to eat lunch, they broke up into pairs and went their separate ways.
Lily and James were wondering around the school aimlessly talking about their childhoods. James learned that Lily had broken her arm because she was stupid enough to stand on one of the muggle toddler toys, the kind that rolled. And Lily learned James had broken his leg in two places falling off the broom.
"Hey Jay." She said a couple hours later, when she realized they were close to the Ravenclaw dorms, and she remembered she had homework. "I'll see you later ok? I have two essays due tomorrow I haven't started yet."
"A Ravenclaw not having homework done three weeks before its due? I might faint," He teased her.
She laughed, punched him playfully and made to pull away.
"Don't I get a good-bye kiss?" He said before pulling her towards him, and wrapping his arms around her waist, before bending his head down to kiss her lightly, before running his tongue along her lower lip, after which she opened her mouth allowing him deepen the kiss. It was minutes before they pulled apart out of breath, James's hands now resting against her bare skin on the side of her waist, under neither her shirt, hers playing with the hairs on the nape of his neck.
"See you later Jay" she said before turning and walking down the hall, James staring after her grinning.
$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$!$********$ !$********$!$********$!$********$!
Secretly, that's how I broke my wrist when I was 8, standing on a moving toddler toy, I fell of backwards and tried to stop myself with my arm at an awkward position, wasn't very bright ... not a bright idea... well... hope you enjoyed it. Review if you have time I love hearing from you!

Lily opened her dorm room to find it empty. "Anyone here?" she called walking to her dresser to get pajamas.
"In here!" She heard Delia's voice from the bathroom. Walking into the bathroom she heard the door click open again and saw Dawn enter with a huge plate of junk food.
"I figured we could have a 'Girl Talk' tonight seeing as we're probably still oh highs from the dance, Plus, Alice needs to divulge the details of her date"
"When she gets back, anyways" Lily said smiling before entering the bathroom to find Delia brushing her teeth.
"Don't bother Dawn's got enough junk food out there to last us a year." Lily said laughing before going into one of the toilet stalls.
Coming out of the bathroom, Lily found Dawn and Delia already in their pajamas lying on their stomachs in the middle of the floor, already starting on Dawn's massive junk food plate.
"We're going for a walk tomorrow night" Delia was saying as Lily sat down.
"Tyler?" Lily questioned.
"Sebastian"
"The keeper?"
"Yeah him. He asked me to dance after Tyler. He's nice, I'd never really talked to him before, it's weird that we've been in the same house for 5 years."

"You ditched me?" Dawn put on a fake put off face "for whom?"
"Well..." Lily started s the door swung open and Alice walked or rather skipped in. "ALI! We're having a quote unquote girl talk, get in your P.J.'s and join us, we want to here all about your date!" The girls spent the next two hours talking about Alice's Date with Frank in extreme detail.
"Guess what he asked me after the dance?!" she paused for half a second before "He asked me to be his girlfriend!"
"Awww, you two are so cute together!"

"Hey Frank, Lily, Delia, James What's so funny?" asked Alice as she and Dawn walked up to join them, kissing Frank before she sat down on Lily's other side and pulled Frank down next to her.
"Hey Alice" Lily said "and this is the last time I'm telling this story, Delia and I ran into Snape in the owlery, and I hexed him into something your mother would wear, You know vulture hat, huge crimson handbag and all. It wont change back for 24 hours either." Alice immediately started laughing while Dawn asked
"Wait... let me get this straight... Snape... is walking around, in a dress, a hat with a vulture on it, holding a red handbag?" when Lily nodded, Dawn started shaking with laughter, crossing her arms on the table and laying her head on them. Lily and Delia watched the four laughing figures with amusement in their eyes, chuckling, quietly,
"Is it really this funny?" Lily asked.
getting a unanimous "YES" in response.
"Hey Jamie-boy, what are you doing over hear? And What the hell is so funny?" Lily groaned as James pointed to her in response to his best friends question still laughing to hard to talk.
"IM not telling it again, ask Delia"
Delia sighed and repeated the story to Sirius, who after regaining his breath from laughing immediately took off presumably in search of Snape.
After everyone had finally sobered enough to eat lunch, they broke up into pairs and went their separate ways.
Lily and James were wondering around the school aimlessly talking about their childhoods. James learned that Lily had broken her arm because she was stupid enough to stand on one of the muggle toddler toys, the kind that rolled. And Lily learned James had broken his leg in two places falling off the broom.
"Hey Jay." She said a couple hours later, when she realized they were close to the Ravenclaw dorms, and she remembered she had homework. "I'll see you later ok? I have two essays due tomorrow I haven't started yet."
"A Ravenclaw not having homework done three weeks before its due? I might faint," He teased her.
She laughed, punched him playfully and made to pull away.
"Don't I get a good-bye kiss?" He said before pulling her towards him, and wrapping his arms around her waist, before bending his head down to kiss her lightly, before running his tongue along her lower lip, after which she opened her mouth allowing him deepen the kiss. It was minutes before they pulled apart out of breath, James's hands now resting against her bare skin on the side of her waist, under neither her shirt, hers playing with the hairs on the nape of his neck.
"See you later Jay" she said before turning and walking down the hall, James staring after her grinning.
