Chap. 9—Meant to Be Together
There was a slight coldness between Narcissa and Sarah for a week after Sarah confessed she loved Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy ignored her completely for the entire week, as he liked Narcissa. In fact, after Sarah said that, Narcissa and Lucius hooked up. Sarah started to be friends with Bellatrix Black, Sirius and Narcissa's cousins. She was more evil than Narcissa. But since Bellatrix and Narcissa were close, they all became the Slytherin bad girls.

"Hey." James plopped on the couch next to Lily. She smiled at him.
"Hey." She responded. She noticed a glimmer in his eye. "What did you do?" She accused.
"Nothing." James said with big, 'innocent' eyes. Sirius came in at that exact moment.
"That was awesome!" He cried, talking to Remus. Lily bit her bottom lip, waiting for more. "Did you see Snape's face?" He added, cracking up. James cleared his throat and Sirius shut up, noticing Lily looking not so happy at James. Her face demanded answers and he clearly wasn't giving any. She sighed.
"Fine. But I think you should lay off Snape. What has he done to you?" Lily said.
"Don't answer that." She added, once James opened his mouth to reply. She continued.
"James, really, I'm serio--." She was cut off. James came over to her and kissed her passionately. She smiled into the kiss and kissed him back. Sirius laughed and followed Remus up to the dorm to leave them alone.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Somehow the whole school found out Lily and James were a couple. They had a slight suspicion who was the culprit. (Ahem, Sirius) But James and Lily really didn't care. They were actually happy with each other. Katie and Teresa were so happy for their best friend.
"I hoped you'd get together this year, I mean, it's our last year!" Katie told Lily.
"Hoped? I knew they would get together, they are prefect for each other!" Teresa chimed in, her eyes glittering excitedly along with Katie's. Lily laughed just as the Marauders came over.
"What is making my beautiful Lily-flower laugh this morning?" James asked. Lily raised her eyebrows at him jokingly. He did the same back and Lily turned away, trying not to laugh again. James gave her a kiss on the cheek. Lily ignored the glares from a lot of the girls.
"Good Morning." He said, acting normally.
"Morning." She responded and smiled back at him.
"Oh how cute, wittle wove birds." Bellatrix mocked. Sarah laughed along with Narcissa and smirked.
"You know, Sarah, if you hate us so much, why do you come over here every day to speak to us? I mean, if you really did hate us, you wouldn't have anything to do with us." Lily said, sweetly and the Gryffindors laughed. Sarah frowned at her.
"We don't speak to you, Evans, we are rude to you. Which I don't really care if we're rude to a mudblood." She replied. James glared at Sarah and tried to think of a good spell to use on her. He reached for his wand but Lily gave him a warning look and he stopped.
"Okay, if James and Lily are love birds, what about Black and Malfoy?" Katie pointed out.
"That's different." Narcissa said rudely.
"Oh yeah, how?" Katie smirked at her.
"It-it just is!" She answered and all the Gryffindors laughed again.
"Well, it's too bad Sarah couldn't get to Malfoy faster." Teresa added sarcastically.
"I'm perfectly fine with him dating Narcissa for your information." Sarah snapped.
"Funny, I thought you were in love with him, after you so nicely yelled in Hogsmeade." Lily grinned at James, who was remembering their prank. Sarah glared and turned away, walking to the Slytherin table, with Narcissa and Bellatrix following her. The Gryffindors smiled in spite of themselves. It was a good morning for them.

Lily walked in the common room with Katie and Teresa, after they just went to the library to look of facts for History of Magic. James saw her and walked up.
"Wanna take a walk?" He asked hopefully. Lily turned to her friends.
"Is it okay with you guys?" She asked. They nodded distractedly and then walked over to Sirius and Remus. Lily and James laughed and walked down the hall, with their fingers laced together sweetly.
They walked on the grounds since it wasn't past hours yet. The sun was setting over the lake and it looked so pretty. They sat down by the lake, silently. James looked over at Lily. She was so beautiful. He loved her straight hair and the color was amazing. Her eyes were so stunning and he knew he loved the perfect girl. She was shivering slightly, as it was very cold, so he placed his extra cloak on her shoulders She smiled a thank you and he smiled, looking away. They got up after a while and just stood by the lake. James took Lily's hand, kissed it and placed it on his chest, under his hand.
"Do you love me?" He asked. Lily grinned at him.
"Of course I do." She responded with a slight laugh.
"Good." James said, satisfied. He wrapped his arms around Lily and kissed her deeply. All the coldness in Lily went away and she felt warm, cozy and so safe in James's arms. She wanted to stay there forever.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
It was getting really cold out. James and Lily sat on the couch by the fire, wrapped together in a blanket, watching the snow fall outside of the window. It was the perfect scene. Lily snuggled up closer to James and he wrapped his arms around her. They just laid like that, in silence for a while, enjoying the comfort of having each other. Once they got drowsy they started to head upstairs.
"Good Night Lily, sleep well." James said and kissed her short and sweet.
"'Night James." She answered as they went their separate ways to the dorms.

Christmas finally came and all the seventh year decided to stay, as it was their last year. Hogwarts looked so pretty with all the decorations and a nice snowfall outside. Lily woke up Christmas morning to find that she was in James's arms on the couch, who was still asleep. He put her head back on his shoulder and looked at the warm, glowing fire. James awoke a few minutes later and just after that Sirius came running down the stairs.
"PRESENTS!" He shouted. Remus was behind him looking tired.
"He's been up since five!" Remus said, annoyed. Lily laughed and saw Katie and Teresa come down the stairs after hearing Sirius yell. Everyone walked towards the tree and handed the presents to the right people.
After a fun morning of opening presents, everyone sat scattered around the common room, paper and everything all over. It was a hug mess but no one cared. James had gotten Lily a beautiful heart-shaped locket that she put on right away.
"Let's play in the snow!" Sirius said. Apparently Christmas made him very excited. After getting dressed in warm clothes and extra cloaks they all stepped out into the snow. Immedietly Sirius threw a snowball at James. He ducked and it hit Lily, who threw one back.
"Snowball fight!" Sirius yelled and snowballs flew in all directions. James accidently hit Lily in the face. He tried not to laugh but was failing. He laughed until Lily hit him in the face. He began to chase her and she ran away. She was actually really fast so James had to work hard to keep up. He caught up to her and lightly tackled her to the ground, tickling her. She was giggling a lot, as she was very ticklish. James finally stopped and kissed her sweetly. She kissed him back and James helped Lily up and they were both covered in snow. The other four had saw them but went back to snowball fighting.
Once everyone nearly froze they stepped inside the warm castle and got into dry clothes. Christmas dinner was very nice and filling. Not too many students stayed, some seventh years besides the Gryffindors and a couple in between but they only had to use one House Table for the students. Even though there were not nearly as many people there was just as much delicious food, which made Sirius ecstatic. (As he loved to eat, haha) It was an enjoyable affair, since Sarah, Narcissa, and Bellatrix went home for Christmas so there was no dueling.
The Gryffindors fell asleep late that night, after a wonderful Christmas, but also their last Christmas at Hogwarts, which made them sad. James was so happy he finally got Lily and vice versa. They were meant to be together.
