Lily and James' Best Years
A.N: Do they have a 'greatest author award'? 'cuz if they do, I should totally get it. 3 chapters in TWO DAYS! And I did stuff today, big stuff...SHOPPING! ;) I got so many reviews and I am SO happy, so I wrote this chapter....yay! right? You better be parading around the house screaming: "ElizabethMM Updated! Yay! Now I'm going to...uhh...read her story...yay?" I'm retarded; I really am...SO back to the story... I'll try to have some more detailed snogging scenes *wicked smile* due to requests (okay, it was one, but I know you all want it, so shut up!) And I hope you like the chapter...
Chapter 17: Hope? Maybe.
James and Remus were playing wizards' chess, and Sirius was pretending he was watching or cared.
"James?" He asked finally.
"Hmm?" came the reply.
"How are you and Lily flower doing?" James shrugged.
"Same old same old, I guess. Why?" He asked suspiciously. Sirius shrugged his shoulders and returned his eyes to the game board.
"Padsey is jealous..." Remus mumbled. James laughed and commanded his chess piece to move.
"No really, Padfoot, why do you ask?" He asked again, in the background, Remus was winning. James looked at the board and smiled, finding an almost sure way to victory.
"I just wanted to know." Sirius said. "Did you see her bathing suit almost fall off in the lake yesterday?"
"Almost." James reminded. "There's always a stupid 'almost'." He moved one of his pieces, one more turn and he won, Remus was going to lose no matter what he did. He moved his bishop. Except that.
"James, I'm going to be a little philosophical with you right now, are you ready?" James smiled. "What about you, Padfoot?" Sirius breathed in and out, gulped, and nodded. James laughed.
"Okay, there is, and there will always be an almost. People who surrender to that almost, and accept that it will always be there, lose. But people, who keep fighting their battle against that constant almost, will eventually get their award, and, when they finally do, they will have a new battle against that almost. It's a constant player in your life; you just can't let it win." James smiled. Sirius snorted rudely and laughed.
"Nice" He said, and looked at the board. "What if you move the queen there?"
"Remus'll kill her." James answered lightly and turned to his friend (Remus) "What if that almost won't let me win?"
"Try harder."
At that exact moment, Millicent and Lily descended down the stairs. Millicent grinned and sat down.
"Did you know Lily keeps a diary?" Millicent asked. James smiled.
"Reahihihihily?" Lily chuckled and rolled her eyes.
"Yes. It helps me deal with things."
"What kind of things?"
"None of your freaking business things." Kayla sat down and said. Lily smiled.
"Did you read it?" James asked Kayla and Millicent, they shook their heads.
"Lily won't let us near it. She put like a thousand spells on, so we can't even be within a meter of it."
Remus chuckled. But then James had a winning smile on his face and moved his queen.
"Check-mate." He smiled and slouched in his chair. Remus stared at the board. "How'd you do that?!" he exclaimed, but James just put his hands behind his head and watched Lily. She rolled her eyes at him when she noticed.
"What?" She asked rudely.
"Nothing. Did you write about me in your diary?" Lily snorted. "Yeah, I wrote you were a stupid moron."
"Good enough." He smiled and returned to watching her silently.

Hey. Today was fun, I guess, but tomorrow it's back to school. At least we don't have as much homework as last year. That was terrible.
James ('X' that, replace with Potter) and the rest of the marauders heard I have a diary and almost pied in their pants. Predictably, Potter asked if I wrote about him. HOW SELF OBSORVENT IS HE?! *yawn* Eyes closing. Need to sleep. Besides, nothing special really happened ... nothing I can think of, anyway. Then again, I can't really think of anything right now. *yawn again* 'night. -Lily

Lily Evans walked down to Breakfast slowly. She was thinking, of all people, about James Potter. She wasn't sure why, she just...was. She was thinking about his hair, about his eyes.
"Ew." She whispered to herself when she noticed what and who she was thinking about. She turned a corner and heard someone call her voice, she turned around and waited, James, of all people appeared around the corner almost immediately. She sighed, spun around and kept walking, slow enough for him to follow. He jogged to her and started walking with her.
"Lily, exactly...what are we?" She stopped and looked up at him.
"What?"
"Are we friends are we more than friends, or are we just a boy who likes a girl and a girl who hates a boy?" He smiled. She looked at him curiously.
"You know, I'm not sure. I guess we're just friends."
"Huh. Possibly more than friends?"
"No."
"Aww...you sure?"
"Positive." James hung his head and Lily laughed, he smiled and put his hand around her shoulder. She looked at it and then at him.
"James Potter, get your hands off me." She shrugged him off. James sighed and hung his head again. Lily laughed once again and sat down, pulling the pumpkin juice towards her.

Love ya, ElizabethMM.
