Chapter 6....The realisations

"Would everyone please return to the great hall immediately?" Boomed the voice of albus Dumbledore (A/N, LMAO, sorry! I had to do that. Will explain later).

Lily looked willingly out at the great hall.

"Don't go lily. You have to tell me. It's-it's umm...it's..." James stuttered, trying to find the right word.

Lily looked amused, "Go on.."

"It's AGONY! Yep, that's it. Agony. Like, there being a chocolate frog n front of you, but you can't eat it. Like...having a free period, then actually having to do extra potions. Like...being stuck in a room with Servus Snape. Like... having to be..."

Lily interrupted him. "Okay okay! You made your point! It's not nice."

"So you will stay?"

"But Dumbledore asked us all the be back there. Maybe we are needed"

James was thoroughly anxious. "Lily! For two whole year's one question has been penetrating through-out my mind. Now I finally am going to get the answer. And now you won't tell me?" She squirmed; she really didn't want to do this.

"It's not as easy as you think, James" she whispered.

"You know you can tell me anything" he said, running his fingers through her hair.

They were so close; they could feel each other's gentle breathing. James could see the sparkle of her eyes, and she could see the anxiety in his expression.

Her lips are so moist, like they want to be kissed after all these years by me... James thought. Go for it lily! Just do it! She told herself. kiss him

He leant forward when the voice appeared again from the great hall,

"Iiittt's Speech time! Would the head boy and girl begin?"

DAMN DUMBLEDORE! James thought angrily.

Lily sighed.

"Ah...lily? James?" Dumbledore questioned.

They both looked at each other and ran out.

"Sorry..." they apologised to him.

Lily started first and muttered "Muterno Projectrium" to make her voice be heard by the entire great hall. "

Whoa. Two years later, aye? Looking around I see so many great faces, they I am so happy to see again. We have people working for the ministry, reporters, and aurors in training even! We have a musical legend, quidditch champions.

But what I find the most wonderful is that we have all stuck together. From our time at Hogwarts, we all shared wonderful friendships that we carried on afterwards as well.

Whether you are flatmates, partners at work, shopping buddies, or just catch up every fortnight for a cuppa tea. We have all kept our great times together." She smiled.

"But, we have not only kept just our friends and peers, I hope. I hope we all have our greatest memories locked up somewhere in our wired brains. Does anyone remember the day in 3rd year, where our marauders finally got a taste of their own medicine? We still haven't found out the culprit of all those pies in their faces." She smiled, as it was secretly her.

She then looked at James, trying to send him a message.

"But you never know, there might be an explanation for them doing that, which isn't what it seems."

James then figured that Lily was talking to him about why she broke up with him.

"Maybe they had a major crush on Sirus black. Hell, is that even possible?" She said, smirking.

"But anyway, I better finish up, so I am just gonna leave by saying remember everything, nothing is worth losing it."

There was an outburst of applause as she sat down.

"And. James potter?" Dumbledore said.

James stood up. "WHATS UP CLASS OF 1972?!" he yelled.

A loud roar came all over to great hall.

"Just as I thought. Yeah, I totally agree with what lily says. Remember everything. But really, I only find one thing you should remember....Me."

The girls groaned and Sirus laughed.

"Naaaaah. I know it's only like what? 2 years after we left this place, so nothing major could have happened career wise. Some may be unsure what to do, and that's fine mate.

As long as you are happy. I know I would rather see someone homeless on the street, happy as can be, than the minister of magic, sad as can be. So just be wise. Well, everyone who can be wise. I know some of us lack that capability!"

He then sat down. Lily gave him a quizzical look from his bizaree speech.

"I did it because I thought I was wrecking your career" she said, very suddenly. She then walked off the stage and sat back own with her friends.

James sat up there in shock. He couldn't move. It happened. He finally found out. And it was so wrong.

"Um James? Off the stage please?" Dumbledore said, sniggering.

James somehow managed to drag himself off and walked down to his friends.

Sirus walked up to James.

"That was awesome mate, you rocked" Black said.

"E-excellent" Peter squeaked, and Remus patted him on the back.

"I found out" James spluttered out. "I found out why she dumped me.."

The marauders looked at him.

"AND?" Exclaimed Sirus.

"It's the most bizarre thing I have ever heard in my life".

Remus nodded sadly, then told James exactly what lily said to him. They all just stood there for about a minute in silence. Sirus then hit james across the head.

"What the bloddy hell are you standing here? Go...Over....THERE!" He pointed to Lily Evans.

Lily walked up to her friends.

"That was really nice, lils" Talia said. Sandy nodded in agreement.

"I told him. I told him why I did it" Lily said. S

andy stared. Talia jumped.

"And??? Why did you?? Why did you do it?"

Lily explained. They both cooed.

"That was really silly Lily. I am sorry, but he needs you.." talia said, not very tactfully.

"I am just a distraction," Lily said sadly. They all heard Sirus yell

"GO OVER THERE".

And they saw James being pushed over to Lily.

He was pushed into Talia.

"Sorry" he murmured.

"Wrong chick" she said, bluntly.

Sandy and Talia walked away.

"Lily, I am so glad that's the reason, and not something that really mattered. I need you. You are not a distraction, you are the fly squatter that squats the distractions.." he stammered, blurting everything out.

Lily was taken back. She held his hand.

"James. You spent every morning and night with me. Talked to me in class. I was just there is distract, This is for the best really."

"Damn it lily! Listen to me! It's not! I love you! And if I am correct, you love me!"

"I do. I do James. I think I do. But..."

She then burst out laughing and sipped her wine.

"What? What's so funny?" James asked.

"We are going to fight again!" She exclaimed.

James laughed, "That's like the 6th time this night!"

"Yeah...hahahahhahahah." She then stopped laughing. "James, I really think if we cant stop fighting in one night, the rest of our lives wont be different."

James strongly disagreed, but lily had a certain look in her eye, which he knew arguing would be no point.

He smiled a depressed smile.

"Friends?"

"Friends"

They both held up their glass and toasted to being friends.

I will always think of you than more than a friend james thought.

I will always think of you than more than a friend Lily thought.
