Greetings! I am back from the dead.after about a year break. Gosh, I was shuffling through my stuff, and noticed this unfinished fanfic. So enough with my mindless chatter, and.
ON WITH THE FANFIC!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lily and Juliet entered the bustling Hall with a renewed sense of energy. First and foremost, it was the beginning of a new year, and that always struck a positive chord with all of the students. There was a strong feeling of familiarity returning to the school, for everywhere you went, there were witches and wizards in new cloaks with new wands hugging and reacquainting themselves with their friends. Everyone seemed to be on a renewed high because of the holiday. Lily barely walked two steps before she was bombarded with "hellos!" and "greetings, Lily!" from various classmates. Juliet and Lily walked further into the Hall, and they began to separate due to the large crowd congregating before the meal.
"Hi, Lily! Did you have a nice holiday?" Emily Landon, a witch in Lily's Potions class, asked amiably.
Lily smiled and replied, "Yes, I did, thank you. How about yourself? Were you able to visit Daniel in the hospital?" Lily's face went from cheerful to sincere curiosity.
"Oh, I was! He's doing a lot better now, and he's off medication. Mum says in a couple of more weeks, he'll be able to return home and rest." Emily's younger brother, Daniel, was diagnosed with a severe liver condition a few years ago. Try as the doctors might, there was not much they could do for Emily's muggle brother. She was often concerned for his well being, and told Lily that she planned to stay with him in the hospital during Winter Holiday. Emily waved to Lily as she walked to greet another friend.
Now alone, Lily peered around the Great Hall to look for her friends. 'Gosh, I wish I was taller, so I could see everyone.' She stood on her tiptoes and gracefully turned in circles to see where they were sitting. She spotted Sirius and Remus, and quickly rushed over to an empty seat at the table. Pretty soon, James, Peter, and Juliet arrived at the table too, just as the food began to arrive.
At the table, Juliet recounted her winter break to Lily, who was munching on a piece of wheat toast. Juliet could tell that Lily was very interested and smiled inwardly as she also noticed Lily taking frequent glances to look at James. James would usually catch Lily's gaze and return it with a smile. Juliet said a mental "Awww..." as she continued to talk to Lily.
Meanwhile, the Marauders were also regrouping and making new plans about upcoming pranks on Snape and other nasty Slytherins.
After breakfast was completed, as well as a "welcome back" speech from Dumbledore, the four Marauders headed off into the dispersing crowd. Juliet wanted to finish unpacking, and asked Lily to help her. Just before disappearing, James went over to Lily and squeezed her hand. Looking up, Lily smiled and squeezed back as James ran off to join his cohorts.
"It's good to be back," Juliet started, as the girls walked through the hallways towards the Gryffindor Common Room. "I've really missed this place.and you."
"I'm so happy you've returned too, Jules." Lily smiled, and hugged her best friend.
Snaking through the groups of second years sitting on the floor, Juliet continued talking to Lily. "I mean, as sweet as Remus is, it's nice to have some female company again. I swear, one of these days, those guys are going to drive me into a mental institution!"
Laughing, the girls finally reached their room. For the next half-hour or so, Lily helped Juliet unpack her clothing, while admiring the gifts they had received over the break. While it was nice to catch up on things with Juliet, Lily felt a tugging at heart that only a certain messy-haired boy could induce. The anticipation of their reconciliation was killing her.
~*~
It was not until much later that James caught up with Lily again. After spending most of the afternoon devising new pranks for the year, James was walking briskly through the open corridor of the school. The wind was chilly, and he buttoned his cloak a little higher around his neck. From the viewpoint of a casual passerby, James was a determined man on a mission. His long legs were taking him quickly to an obvious destination.
That destination was obvious when one looked ahead of James. Strolling gracefully and enraptured in the snowy fields was Lily, passing back to the Great Hall from the library. She had returned some of the textbooks she had borrowed that break, and was no hoping to catch up with James before dinner. Unbeknownst to her, James had already beaten her in that respect.
Wrapping her scarf around her, Lily jumped when a large hand situated itself on her shoulder. Relaxing, she recognized the familiar scent and quiet shuffle of her darling. Smiling, Lily looked up with shining eyes.
"Fancy meeting you here, Mr. Potter."
James quickly lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "Always a pleasure, Ms. Evans. Consider me your personal stalker. I'm never leaving. "
"Mmm.is that a promise?" Lily said, as James' hand lowered itself to her waist.
"Oh, most definitely" The pair continued to walk into the Great Hall and past some eye-raising stares. James removed his hand as they headed off to meet their friends.
Entering the Common Room, Lily was surprised to see it nearly vacated except for Sirius, sitting in the corner. Not surprising, though, was the fact he was schmoozing with a pretty Seventh Year. Sirius, who was holding and admiring her hand, noticed the couple enter the Room and gave them a wink. James, trying to stifle down his laughter, egged Lily upstairs to the guys' room as she shook her head at Sirius.
"My gosh, he's been here, what.not even twelve hours, and he's already getting some action? Something's definitely wrong with that picture." Lily stated. "I bet you thirty galleons that Sirius doesn't even REMEMBER the name of the girl he was with this holiday."
"Hey, Sirius has his priorities. I remember the name of the girl I was with his holiday." James winked at Lily and he sat down on his bed.
"Yeah, thanks. All the consolation I need." Lily sighed as she sat down next to him. Leaning backward, she felt softly against his soft comforter. James followed suit, and stared at his canopy. He turned sideways to look at Lily.
"I mean, it's not that hard to forget. You are quite a decent kisser, uh, Lauren? Leslie? Linda?" James scratched his head and pretended to recount her name.
"Why, I oughta." Lily said, jokingly, as she sat up.
"Ooh, you oughta what?" James replied, pulling Lily down on near him. He pulled her closer to kiss her.
Just as their lips were a kiss's length apart, and their mouths began to open, Lily pulled away. James groaned. "C'mon Lily."
"That's what you get for forgetting my name, you big jerk." Lily smirked and raised an eyebrow. Her small hand reached over and pulled James' face closer to hers.
There was no more speaking for a while.

A/N: Yeah, it's been a while. Here's something to tie you over until I write the next installment (which I hope to be soon!)
Love ya lots.thanks for reading! Review if you'd like!
