We walked back into the hall and let me tell you if looks could kill I'd be dead- 3 times over. Lily's long time boyfriend had spotted us and was coming over, Lily noticed this too and pulled her hand out of mine. Barty Crouch (Jr by the way) was a 6th year Hufflepuff and the total oppisite of me, he had blonde hair, dark brown eyes and he couldn't play Quidditch to save his life. He was a goody-two-shoes prefect and was worried that me and Lily shared the same common room.

"Hello Potter, don't you have somewhere to be, some scholl property to deface?" He said bitterly

"Why yes actually I need to put some ice on my foot," I laughed winking at Lily
"Later Evans"

"Yeah bye James."

I walked(limped) out of the hall. I hate taht guy he thinks he's so great just because his father is a shoe in for Minister of Magic. I sat down and conjured up some ice, 10 minutes past and then the door swung open and a crying Lily ran in.

"Lils, wahts wrong?"

"He such an idiot trying to make me pick!"

"Lily slow down, what did that Crouch do?" Then I heard ringing, the Quidditch Time theme, actually.
"Lils, hold that thought" I ran into my room and found my phone,
"Hello?"

"Yo, Prongs what did you and Lily do outside?"

"We talked about the old days"

"Well what ever you said made her dump Crouch!"

"What?"

"Yead, he was shouting at her for holding hands with you and then she yelled back at him that she'd known you for years, before she could walk and then she said that not only did you hold hands but you hugged too and that you've kissed before! Then he called her a slag and she ran off!"

"I'll kill him!" I said through gritted teeth.
"Prongs I didn't know you knew Lily before Hogwarts let alone kissed!"

"Yeah we were best friends,"

"Listen, before I get killed by angry girls is it ok if they come and see Lily?"

"Sure, will you come to the kitchen with me to get them some drinks?"

"Ok I'll be there in a minute"

"Bye" I hung up and left the room to find Lily still crying on the sofa. I sat down and put my arm around her,
" The girls are on their way around. Sirius just told me what happened I'm sorry it's my fault."

"No, it's not. He was a git for making me chose between him and my friends,"

"Thanks! Go get your pyjamas on, me and Sirius are gonna go get you something to eat." Then I kissed her on her forehead and left.

I went into my room to get changed the whole time replaying what had just happened. James Potter had kissed me! On the forehead, but even so he hasn't kissed me since before he went through his girls have germs stage. WOW!
Once I was changed I went to wait for the girls, I didn't have to wait long cause moments later in ran the 3 of them in their pyjamas and slippers.

"Oh Lils are ou ok? Don't worry about that git he has his head rammed too afr up his own backside to notice how great you are!" Was what Danielle said to comfort me.

"Yeah, I'm fine I just can't wait to get my hands on him!" I said pretemding to strangling someone.

"So where is my dear cousin?" Stacy asked

"He went to get us something to eat"

"He went to get us something to eat?" Diana repeated with a raised eye brow, I nodded "Ok," she continued " let me rephrase that, he went with Sirius to get something to eat from the kitchen which is next to the Hufflepuff Common room and he is Headboy so he has the password!"

"Oh well I guess he's saving me the trouble." I shrugged

"So go on dish the dirt about you and James?" Stacy pressed

"Nothing, just a walk down memory lane"

"Oh yeah thats why you slapped him, came back holding hands and dumped your boyfriend" Danielle stated

"Well, firstly we were holding hands cause thats how he dragged me back into the hall and I dumped Barty cause he was trying to make me pick between him and James-my friend!"

"Well thats not what it looks like," Danielle said in a sing-song voice

"And I would be surprised if you get attacked by the female population of the school cause as far as they know you took the last marmuder off the market! Well ther is Peter but not many people are too intersted in him." Stacy said

"WOOO, so you and Sirius are a couple then?" I asked

"Yeah, but I told him I don't want to be the flavor of the week and he has to repect me!"

"And I will Prongs cause I really like her!" Sirius told me for the 10th time. We had just left left the kitchen with our arms full of snacks and drinks.

"Padfoot, if you do hurt her I will hunt you down like the dog you are," I told him "Not that I'll need to have you ever been on the receiving end og one of her bat boogie hexes?" We were right out side the Head dorms,
"Wimbledon Wasps!" And the door swung open

"Here we are ladies butterbeer, pumkin patties and chocolate frogs all around" Sirius cahnted placing the tray on a table. I picked up Lily's drink and walked over to her, her face lit up.

"Oh James you remembered!"
All of Lily's friends were looking into the mug I had handed Lily.

"Awww! That is like so cute!" Sirius said putting on a mock girly voice. "What is it?"

"Well when we were kids and I fell down and cut my knee or had a nightmare or a bad day at school my mum would make me a cup of hot chocolate and say that everything is forgotten and I can start over or that all the pain will go away. Little did she know that it actually has some sort of healing power." Lily explained.

So I sat next to her and said,
"I know I'm not your mum but I'm gonna fill in for her," I made my voice go a little bit higher "Everything has been forgotten and you can start over tomorrow morning Lily dear." She laughed and through a pillow at my head.

"Woo! It's late, do you girls want to stay here tonight? I could conjure up some beds?" I asked after about an hour.

"Na'h it's ok. Night Lily, night James, come on Sirius." Stacy instructed, she was followed out by Sirius and the other 2 girls.

Ten minutes later tthere was crash of thunder which made me jump out of my skin I've never liked thunder.

"Lily I'm going to bed, ok? I'll see you in the morning." I yawned.

About an hoour later I was still laying in my bed, awake because of the thunder. Actually, I was awake because I was worrying about Lily. I know she hates when I fight her battles but I just feel like I need to protect her. Then my bedroom door swung open and Lily stood in the doorway,

"James I'm scared!"

"You haven't grown up one bit Lily Evans do you know that?" I said lifting up the covers like I did when we were kids so she could get in next to me. She scuttled over and climed in.

James has totally changed, totally. He wrapped his arms around me, I felt so safe like nothing could hurt me as long as I stayed next to him.

"Your my Knight in shining armour! I know I moan at you when you defend me, but what would I do without you? I mean within 5 miutes of that git calling me a slag you were out looking for him. Did you find him?"

"No, sadly he wasn't in the Hufflepuff common room." His breath was making the hair in the back of my neck stand on end.

"I didn't think he would be, I bet he feels sick and is in the hospital wing. he's afraid of you and he knew you'd defend my honour."

"Well I'm gonna get him, I promise"

"Thank-you" I said holding his hand which was around my waist
"James?"

"Hmmm"

"Ask me that question," I turned around to face him and even in the dark I could see the huge smile him had.

"Lily Evans, will you go out with me James Potter?" I nodded slowly

"Oh Lily I knew we'd get together one day, I knew we were destined." He said kissing me on my forehead,
"I'll do you right you'll never need for anything I promise." He exclaimed excitedly

"James just do one thing for me,"

"Anything?"

"Don't tell anyone, well not yet anyway." James nodded and I rested my head on his chest, he wrapped his arms around me protectively. I dozed off in his arms surrounded by the smell of peaches.
