A/N: Hey again! Thanks for all those reviews! You are my dears!!

I tried to make this chapter as long as I could, I'm not sure if it worked, but I am trying!

Chapter 4: He's staying

It had been a few hours since Lily had left James and Sirius' company, before retreating to her study. She sat there, quill in hand scribbling down a report that needed to be finished before the next day.

Tapping her quill on the desk, she looked out the window, which was directly in front of her desk. She could see a small wizard family that was enjoying each other's company as they sat around a small round table, eating their supper.

Lily smiled, as she watched a small boy with blonde hair, spill a glass of milk over. Causing the contents of the glass to trickle down onto the floor. The boy looked like he was on the verge of tears. His face slowly screwed up before he burst into tears.

She watched as a man with blonde hair and a beard stood up picking up the boy and comforting him, obviously his father. The woman with the brown curly hair took out her wand and with the tap of her wand, the spill had disappeared.

She was brought out her thoughts, by a loud knock on the door of the study.

Not thinking, Lily stood up. "Hmm, Yeah I'm coming."

Opening the door, she came face to face with James Potter. Quickly looking down, she evaded his gaze, deciding on staring at the brass doorknob.

"Um, Sirius, wanted me to tell you that I'll be staying for supper, and em, Remus, Paula and Jackie will be coming over to join us. Is that alright with you?" James asked politely, leaning on the doorframe, watching her carefully.

Lily looked up at James. 'Just great, I thought I could hide away from him, but since the rest of the gang are coming then I can't. Maybe if I busy myself with other people, he'll leave me alone' she thought quickly, before answering with a smile. "Oh, yeah. That's fine. Glad you could stay."

James nodded, studying her facial features 'Jeez, I missed waking up to that gorgeous face next to me.' His eyes lingered to her soft looking, full lips. He just felt a sudden urge to kiss her.

Turning away quickly he said "Um, So do you want to come help in the kitchen?"

Lily nodded, slowly, wandering what that was all about. "Yeah, sure. Come on." She said, before taking his hand and leading her into the kitchen. She felt something warm rush through her body, glancing back at James, she wandered if he had felt something as well.

By the looks of it, he had. As he was sweating plenty, beads of sweat were running down the side of his face, as he followed her swiftly into the kitchen.

Lily let go of James' hand, as they entered the small kitchen. Sirius had his wand out, and was pointing to different objects in the room, making them do things.

"Oh, there you are!" he said grinning as he spotted Lily and James standing in the doorway. "I've already got the roast in, so do you guys wan-"He had stopped talking when he noticed that James and Lily both looked slightly disoriented. "Err, Did something hot and steamy happen back there, cause you guys look kind of puffed out, if you know what I mean." He said winking at the two of them.

Lily rolled her eyes, before walking up to Sirius, wrapping her small hands around his waist. "Of course not, don't be silly Si. You know I love you." She said, giving him a tender kiss on the lips.

Sirius smiled against her lips, "Yeah I know" he murmured against her lips.

James looked away, feeling slightly awkward seeing his best friend kissing his ex-girlfriend.

"So, James Do you want to get the cranberry sauce done? And Lil-babe do you want to set the table?" Sirius said letting go of Lily.

They both nodded, before going on and doing their own job.

It was now seven-thirty at night, the roast was cooked, cranberry sauce made, table set, mash potato had been whipped up by Sirius and a salad had been conjured by James, with a little help from Lily.

The three of them were sitting around the fireplace, waiting for Remus, Paula and Jackie to arrive. They had all promised to be there before eight o'clock.

Lily was lying on the couch, her head propped up in Sirius' lap, while James sat near the fireplace tending the flames, that he had started a few minutes ago.

Ten minutes later, they heard two small pops. And there, they were Remus Lupin and Paula Jenkins standing in Lily and Sirius' living room.

"Hey guys!" said Remus, who had sandy blonde hair, looking tired but happy at the same time, wearing robes of ruby red. He turned his gaze to the fireplace. "James! Good man, nice to see you!" he said reaching out his hand, which James took and shook it.

James smiled, standing up. "Rem! Good to see you, mate" he turned his gaze to the petite woman who was wearing robes of a lavender colour standing behind the couch. "Paula! Come here, a kiss on the cheek for an old friend?" Paula, smiled shyly, walking up to James, and placing a small peck on the side of his face. "How are you, James?" she said quietly, watching him. "I'm fine, fine I am! Now where's that wild one, Jackie?" he said grinning, as Remus and Paula went to greet Sirius and Lily.

And as if on cue, there was a louder pop, and there was Jackie, in robes of a hot pink. "Jackie-o!" James said loudly. Jackie grinned, before running up to James and jumping on him, for a hug. "James!! How are you?" she said loudly, kissing his cheek.

"I'm well, Jackie, Thanks." He replied, laughing as he hugged Jackie tightly.

Lily seemed a little taken back by Jackie's greeting, but decided to ignore it, as her other best friend started to engage in a conversation with her.
