"So, Lily," James said as they walked around Hogsmeade, "How's your life going?" What a stupid thing to say! James mentally kicked himself.
"Oh, pretty good," Lily said.
"What's going on with you and Snape?" Another stupid thing! How could I come out and say that, James thought.
Lily looked taken aback, "Me and Severus? Nothing really. He's just a friend. Between you and me though, I think he has a crush on me." James let out a sigh of relief. He felt like a big weight had been lifted off his shoulders as they entered the Three Broomsticks.
"I'll go get the butterbeers, you go sit down," James said.
"No!" Lily protested, "I'm making it up to you remember, I'll get the butterbeers."
"Okay," James said, "But boys are supposed to pay on a date," Why did I say that? James thought. She never said it was a date.
"Well, I'll just have to let you take me on a real date tomorrow so you can pay now won't I?" Lily told him. James didn't object.

A week later, the four marauders were boarding the train. They had made plans to visit each other at Remus' house during the summer. His parents were the only ones that didn't mind the mess. They had just gotten settled in their compartment when Lily, Maria and Cara appeared in the door.
"Come in, come in," Remus, Sirius, and James all said at the same time. You could hear the giggling and shrieking all the way to King's Cross station. And that was just Sirius.

The End.
