GREEN EYES
CHAPTER EIGHT-MERRY CHRISTMAS TO SOME
During the next week the weather started getting colder and the students at Hogwarts started to sign up to stay for the Christmas break. Jamie was going home to see her parents and Sirius was going on a family vacation, however Lily didn't really want to stay home with her parents this Christmas and James' parents were going on a cruise for their anniversary. Lily was very excited, she had never been able to stay at Hogwarts for the holidays before.
For the last day at school, there was complete and utter chaos as the students tried to finish packing. Jamie had been spending a lot more time with Fredrick (it seemed that she wanted to be with him more after her break up with James.) As the last day ended and everyone boarded the train, Lily felt much more alone than she had felt in awhile. And that was a wonderful feeling. She took long baths in the girls bathroom, and sat up reading her books late into the night. She also spent much of her time talking with James for hours. Before she knew it, it was Christmas morning.
"Hey, wake up Lil. Presents!" said a soft voice in her ear. She turned over and looked up to see James hovering above her bed. It suprised her that after all of these years he was still so giddy about Christmas. Lily then looked over at the tiny tree that she had been putting presents under. It was full of things from friends and admirers.
"Don't you want to open yours?" asked Lily.
"Oh, I brought them with me. It's kind of lonely in the room. I thought we could open them together." said James, spilling a bag full of presents onto her bed. Lily laughed and picked the present from her parents. She unwrapped it and saw some great clothes from the muggle stores. She got many presents: a bracelet from Sirius, three new books from Jamie, a scarf from Remus and a diary from Peter. She was completly done when James handed her a large package.
"This is from me to you," he said. She unwrapped it and saw a solid silver mirror. There were jewels set around it and, in beautiful caligraphy was the word Lily. Lily looked into her reflection and her reflection talked back.
"Hello gorgeous. You look lovely today. How are you?" it said. James laughed.
"It's charmed to talk to you. It will give you good advice, listen to your problems, and keep all of your secrets. It's like a diary, only better." he said, looking very pleased with himself for his selection of presents.
"Thank you. I love it!" Lily said as she got up and gave James a hug. They fell into a deep conversation and talked for a very long time, then went to dinner together. There wern't very many people there, so the house tables had been moved and everone sat together at another, smaller, table. Christmas music was playing, and the feast was wonderful. Lily was in the middle of her ham when she saw James sneak up behind her. She turned around and he grabbed her hand.
"Dance with me?" he asked.
"What, are you crazy? This isn't a dance." said Lily.
"I know that, but you have to make up for the times at the welcome back dance that you never danced with me," he said, and then pulled her out of her chair. A slow song was playing, so he wrapped his arms around her and they danced. It was the most wonderful dance that she had ever done before. She fit so perfectly in his arms, and it was just so calm and peaceful. It didn't seem like long before he lead her off towards the table again.
"It's almost time to go back to the common rooms," she said.
"Ok, let's go," said James. They walked back to the common room together. James was holding her hand, but Lily didn't care. She had just realized that she really liked James, and she really wanted to be with him.
"So, what was the best Christmas present you ever got?" as James as they sat down on a loveseat.
"Um...this one time my parents got me this great little kitten. She was so cute. I remember that they put her in my stocking early in the morning and I didn't notice her for awhile until I finished unwrapping this huge present under my tree. I still have her, she's in my room." said Lily. "What about you?"
"This," he said, and their lips meet. It was as if the whole world had stopped turning. Nothing mattered anymore besides being here with James. She didn't know how long it had been when she heard someone walk through the portrait hole. But no one mattered now. Until she heard him talk.
"Is there something I should know here?" he asked. Lily looked up and, stanting in the hall, was Sirius.
A/N-Hey all! Don't you just love cliffhangers? I do! Well, I hope that this satified your lust for the Lily/James lovey dovey stuff (although, I must say, it is far from over) The next chapter will hopefully be out tomorrow, but I'm not sure. It was the first day back and my teachers loaded us with homework. Until then, please read and review.
