Summary: Lily and James are at Hogwarts for their 7th year. After becoming Head Boy and Girl, they are forced to spend time together, much to the dislike of Lily. They soon fall in love, but will friends and family ties keep them apart?

Lily fell asleep quickly that night after dinner, dreaming about James. When she woke up in the morning, James was in the shower, singing at the top of his lungs. Lily started giggling. She got in the other shower and quickly washed her hair. She got dressed in her room, did her hair and make-up, and went down to breakfast.

She had another fun, talkative breakfast, fortunately (or unfortunately?) with no food fights. They then each went to their first class, which they all shared: Transfiguration. The whole lesson, Lily watched James and James watched Lily, but neither one seemed aware that the other was watching them. Finally James used his wand to write a teeny tiny message in the air, and sent it over to Lily. She read it quickly: you're so beautiful. She grinned and wrote back: Ditto. She sent it and he laughed loudly. The whole class looked over at him. James looked over at Lily. She made a angry face, tsking. He made struggled to keep a straight face and looked down at his work.

The next day, they had a meeting with Dumbledore. "James, next weekend we're having the first Hogsmeade trip, so I need you to make flyers, and pass them out to the prefects to post in the common rooms. Lily, last year I set up an idea box for fun activities, and I would like you to go through them and pick out the best ones, and bring them to me. That is all. Thank you." Dumbledore handed Lily the idea box, and they left.

James and Lily walked down to their rooms, James trying to trip Lily the whole way there. They grabbed their wands and the idea box and then went up to the balcony, where it was cool and sunny, with a couple of clouds littering the sky.

They sat on the huge and fluffy couch that was outside. James created a design for a poster in the air. "You like?" He asked Lily after a couple of minutes.

"Yeah! It's good! Wait - James it's next weekend, not this weekend. And change the picture to a butterbeer. It'll look better." Lily grinned at him.

"Oh yeah, thanks." James said, grinning.

"No prob." Lily replied.

She looked down and opened the idea box and pulled out a handful. She read the first one: A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Party. Lily started laughing and then opened the next one: A Halloween Dance. Lily considered it, and realized how much fun it could be. She put that one off to the side, and opened a couple more: Extreme Sports Class, History of the Renaissance Class, Karaoke Contest, and Magical Surf Lessons. She frowned and took out History of the Renaissance Class but threw away the other ones. It sounded interesting. She threw away all the other ones except Baby spell project, which then went on to explain what it meant.

By the time she was finished, James had 10 or so flyers made up and had been watching Lily. She looked up and smiled at him, then showed him the papers. Then she went with him to hand out and hang up the flyers. Then she went and gave the papers to Dumbledore, who okayed all of them but said they had to set them up.

The next week, after a little bit too much fun putting up posters and doing other random things for Dumbledore, James went outside and found Lily outside laying on the grass with her friends. "Lily, may I speak to you for a second?" James asked. Lily nodded and jumped up. She walked away with him. "Er...will you..will you go to Hogsmade with me?" He asked, looking hopeful.

Lily looked down and smiled to herself. "I 'd love to." She grinned at him and gave him a tight squeeze, and then threw herself back down on the grass.

James walked away in shock, and then grinned happily. He didn't even notice Sirius pass by him.

"Oi, James, you in there?" Sirius joked around. "James?" He punched him on the arm. "JAMES!"

"Ow...? What? Oh. Sup, Padfoot?" James grinned.

"What's up with you, Prongs? You ignored me when I walked by!" Sirius frowned.

"Oh nothing, just thinking." James replied.

"About...?" Sirius asked.

James smiled happily. "Lily just accepted my offer to go to Hogsmeade with me."

Sirius grinned. "Way to go!" James smiled.

The weekend that they were going to Hogsmeade came quickly. That day, James got up and made sure his hair wasn't too tidy, and messed it back up a little. He then changed, and waited for Lily on the balcony. At the same time, Lily was also getting ready. She brushed out her hair and fluffed it a little, then sprayed some shine spray on it. She did her make-up, changed, and glanced in the mirror. She twirled around, then slicked on some lip-gloss. She walked up to the balcony.

"Ready to go?" Lily grinned at James.

"Ready as I'll ever be." He replied, smiling back.

They walked downstairs and followed the crowds out of the hall. 20 minutes later, they were in Hogsmeade.

"What d'you want to do?" James asked, looking around.

"Let's just go in some of the shops. If that's okay?" Lily asked, nervously.

"Yeah, that's fine." James grinned at her, then slipped his arm around her waist.

They went into most of the shops, and finally they stopped at the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer. James went to get them, and then they sat down. Suddenly the door opened again and Sirius, Remus, and Peter came in, looking around. Spotting James, they came and sat with them.

"Hey Prongsie! How's it goin', Lily?" Sirius said loudly.

Lily giggled. "Are you always this loud?"

"Yep!" He yelled even louder, just humoring her. "No, not really." He said quieter.

"What are you guys up to?" Remus asked, looking from James to Lily.

"Not too much at the moment." James replied, looking around. "Hey, Sirius, can I talk to you for a minute? Outside?"

"Yeah, sure." Sirius replied, standing up.

"I'll be right back, Lily." James promised her.

Lily nodded, smiling. "Okay."

James exited the Three Broomsticks, Sirius on his heels. Instead of stopping, James kept walking. "Come on, come here." He said, coming up to a knick-knack store Sirius had never been in. They went up to the counter, and James pointed to a necklace under the glass. It had a silver chain and a diamond stone in the middle of the silver setting.

"What d'you think?" James asked nervously.

"For me? Awwww, Prongsie." Sirius joked around. "It' pretty, she'll love it, how much is it?"

"Er...dunno." James muttered. "Hey, how much is this?" He asked the guy working at the counter.

"83 Galleons, it's a real diamond and real silver, but 84 Galleons for an engravement." The guy said.

"Er - that's a lot, Prongs." Sirius said.

"I don't care." James said ferociously. "I'll take it, and I want an engravement on back."

They quickly returned to the Three Broomsticks. Lily grinned at James as he sat back down, listening to Remus talking about schoolwork. James got bored quickly, and

A hour later, they left, following many people from Hogwarts. Among entering the Great Hall, where the feast had just begun, James pulled Lily off to the side.
