The sleeping Child you're holding is the Great, I Am.

Clay Aiken: "Mary did you know?"

Chapter: Mary did you know?

James walked out onto the Hogwarts make-shit stage and sat on the stool, he was sorted with. Curious students looked up at him, he ignored and their stares and waited. A steady tune flowed through the school and all eyes were on him.

"What is James doing?" Whispered Lily fiercely

Sirius looked at her with a look that said 'You'll find out soon enough.'

She turned back to look at James and rose and eyebrow. A soft melody floated through the air and her eyes widened.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

James' voice sounded so soft. Lily's eyes watered upon hearing the song. So many memories of her mother came back to her; decorating the house for Christmas, planting flowers in the backyard, eating pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.

Tears were running down her face, she remained quiet, and no one noticed them.

Mary, did you know

that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?
Mary did you know...

Lily gave a sniffle and Sirius was immediately at her side. "Lily?" He whispered "Lily what's wrong?"

Lily stared at James, mouthing the words. She never knew he could sing; especially with such emotion. She knew her face looked like a mess, but now was not the time to fix it.

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Sirius walked over to Arya, Belle had left awhile ago. "Arya, something's wrong with Lily."

Arya's eyes widened and she walked over to her friend. She looked at Sirius and he walked over and placed an arm around her shoulders. Lily tensed but relaxed and held onto Sirius. She was still silently crying, no longer singing along.

Sirius looked over to Arya, in confusion. Arya bit her lip and mouthed 'She'll tell you later.' He nodded and tried to calm Lily down.

James' voice sent chills down her spine and tightened her hold on Sirius hand afraid to let go.

He ended the song on a soft note and looked around to find his friends. To his dismay he saw Sirius patting Lily's back, she was in tears. He jumped down and ran towards her.

"Lily?" He said grabbing her hand. "Lily, what's wrong?"

She finally looked at him. There was no turning back now, she had fallen too deep. He reached out and wiped a few tears off her face. She felt her heart skip a beat. "James," She whispered "I have to talk to you." She looked at the rest of the Marauders. "All of you"

He nodded and led her and there group to the Common Room. The prefects and teachers could handle the dance from there. They reached the Common Room a few minutes later and settled around the fire.

Lily bit her lip "My mother, Faye," She stopped and shut her eyes painfully. James squeezed her hand lightly and she continued. "My mother died when I was 15." She opened her eyes and let a tear fall down. "We used to sing that song all the time, even when it wasn't Christmas." She looked at James "She loved that song. It was her favorite."

"How did she die?" Asked Sirius cautiously

"She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer," Lily said, holding back tears "Petunia still blames me for her death."

James wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said soothingly "It wasn't your fault Lil's. Never think that."

Lily nodded and wiped the remaining tears away "Sorry about this." She said

"Time heals all wounds," Said Remus wisely

Lily nodded and began to get up "Well, we should get going."

James nodded and followed her out of the Common Room. They walked in silence to the heads Room. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes. Her hair was down from being up and the makeup on her face was washed off. Still, James thought she was beautiful.

They reached the heads room and stepped inside. "I have to talk to you James" She said.

He nodded and turned towards her, saying nothing. He said his part a while ago.

"You, James Potter," She began "Have always been a mystery to me. You have a tight circle of friends, you're respected throughout the school, you're phenomenal at Quidditch, yet you remain a mystery to me." James smiled. "Here I think I had you figured out and bam," her hands moved as she spoke "There you go up on stage to sing my favorite Christmas song, that I bet half the school didn't even know existed. But, that's not all. What confuses me even more, then figuring you out, is how our relationship is. We fight, get along, fight some more, do rounds and what do you know, we fight some more."

"Because that's what we do...We fight." He said "You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch, and I tell you when you are a pain in that ass. Which you are, 99 of the time. I am not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound, and you go back doing the next pain in the ass thing. So it's not going to be easy. It's going to be really hard. But we're going to have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that. Because I want you. I want all of you. Forever, you and me everyday."

Lily's eyes watered and he continued. "But, I told you this already. You know I care for you Lily." He began to step away.

"I learned a lot of things over these past few months," She said. He stopped moving. "But nothing was more important then learning about love." James' throat tightened "You don't get to choose, you just fall." She whispered "You get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. And you know that you love them so much; except sometimes they just drive you completely insane. No one can explain it, and the reason it's so confusing is because its love. But, if love didn't have any challenges, what would be the point?"

James stared at her and only managed to say one word. "Danny?"

She bit her lip "He broke up with me a few hours ago. I can't tell you what he said but," She sniffled and trailed off.

His hazel eyes which were behind silver glasses, widened. She didn't mean him, did she? Did Lily Evans, the girl of his dreams, just admit to loving him? All those years of hatred, and she loved him.

"Forever, you and me," She said moving closer to him "Everyday."

He leaned down, and after waiting many years, kissed the girl of his dreams.

Arya remained in the Common Room long after everyone went to bed. Having finished her book she sat in silence, staring intently at the fire. The thing between Belle and Sirius was over, she was glad of that, but something was wrong with Sirius. She sighed.

"We can't have an un-happy soul this close to Christmas." Said Sirius; walking down from his dormitory. "Can we?"

Arya slowly looked up "Yes, Sirius?"

He kneeled down next to her and said softly "What can I do, Arya? Would you like me to tell you everything? Never in my life did I think I'd find someone so utterly and completely perfect; someone that would make me happier than I ever dreamed I could be; someone that would touch my life so profoundly and just give me a whole new reason to breathe. But then I met you and I realized everything I anticipated you'd be, doesn't even compare with who you are."

She turned away from him, tears in her eyes.

"I know you're afraid," He said "But, it doesn't matter how many times your heart gets broken. What matters is eventually someone is going to come along, pick up the broken pieces and put it back together" He paused "Even if it's the person who broke it in the first place."

She turned back towards him and got up. She walked a few steps and turned around. He was right there behind her, looking down at her. He walked a few steps closer and she tackled him onto the floor in a hug. His eyes widened as he placed a hand on the floor to stop them from smashing into it.

"Oh Sirius," She said hugging him tightly, and sobbing at the same time. "I love you and I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have been so rude to you. It wasn't your fault."

Sirius stood up and walked her over to the couch. He wiped her tears away and placed a finger on her lips. "Let's just forget about it all."

She nodded "Where do we start off from?"

He smiled "Right where we left off." He leaned in and kissed her.

Sabrina walked into the Great Hall, Drago right at her side. She smiled lovingly at him "I think it's time to tell them."

He smiled back "We've put it off for long enough." He grabbed her hand and squeezed it, nudging her to the Gryffindor Table.

They walked over and sat down. Priscilla smiled at her best friend, for safety reasons, not even she knew.

"I-We have to talk to you all," Said Sabrina. The Marauders, plus Lily and Priscy looked at her. "Not here though. The hall has too many ears."

Drago nodded and suggested "We can sit outside by the lake."

They walked to the lake and sat down. Sabrina squeezed Drago's hand "We're getting married."

Shock passed throughout the group. "You're kidding?" Said Lily

Sabrina shook her head happily "No, I'm not"

Priscilla squealed and hugged her best friend. Soon all the girls were squealing, giggling and talking about the wedding.

The men clapped their hands on Drago's back and talked about the up-coming Quidditch match.

A/N: I worked soooooo hard to get this chapter out before Monday. –smile- Ah, yes, and James and Lily are not dating yet.

Black Emerald:I hope you have a fun time on your trip! I wish I was going somewhere for Winter Break, lol. Hopefully there'll be a lot of up-dates by the time you get back.
