Lily's POV

"Well, we're back on Hogwarts Express! Write to me ok?" I smiled and hugged each of my friends in turn, new and old. I hugged James last. His muscular arms hugged go gently, so caringly. I could stay there forever, but I thought about my unworthiness to him, and I stepped back.

"I'm going to miss all of you, except Jessica and Sharrie and Serena, since we'll be going home together."

Jessica looked longingly at Sirius. "I'll miss you guys too!"

Sirius joked. "DARRRLLINNNGGGG!!! I'll write to you don't worry!" His eyes glinted.

Sharrie looked uncomfortable. Her long slender body was inching slowing away from a very drooly Peter.

"Umm….I'm sure I'll miss some of you." Her eyes were filled with disgust at the chubby boy staring at her body.

Serena was gripping her book tightly and looking at Remus. She blushed. Her mouth was at a lose for words, but her eyes said everything.

James POV

When she hugged me, I wished I could hug her forever. Her gentle eyes were sincerely sad. I want to comfort her so badly.

"I'll write to you Lil, don't worry. I'll write."

Finally the train jolted to a stop. We ran to our families that were embracing us. Mom and Dad smiled at me and Sirius.

"Haha. It's great to have you back kiddos!" Dad said joyously. Mom smothered us with kisses.

Lily's POV

It's nice to be back home. The house was decorated with Christmas lights and in the living room there was a Christmas tree.

Petunia, as always, was scowling. I said hi to her earlier, but she just huffed and turned away. I heard she was dating a fat chubby ugly guy named Dursley. Eww. I laughed happily. Yep. It's great to be home again.

In the next few days, I went Christmas shopping. I got Serena a blue sweater, blue jeans, blue hairbands, and lightblue shoes. Her shopping was always easy. All you have to do is buy a bunch of things the same color. Jessica loved animals, so I got her a lot of books, animal fantasy of course. I thought that Sharrie would like an animal, so I got her a mouse, and a cage and all that.

Shopping for the boys is harder. I got Sirius a pranking kit, and Remus a bunch of books. Since Peter is so….umm…different, I got him a gift card for Mcdonalds. I didn't know what to get James. He was so special. In the end I settled by getting him a Broom care set, for his quidditch broom.

I did get some letters from all the boys.

Dear Lily,

Hope your Holidays were as good as mine. Hey if you have any problems, so owl me. I'm so bored, but living near James makes things interesting. Sirius would pop out from nowhere, and charm my mom with his "manly charms" as he calls it. In the end he always gets my mom's homemade cookies, the best in the world. Hahaha. Happy Holidays! Hey Lily! I'm missing your beautiful face already. So what are you going to give me for Christmas? I'm giving you a lump of coal haha. Stop it Sirius! Sirius just popped in and What am I doing remus cough cough cough. Whatever. Bye Lily!

Your friend,

Remus.Haha and not to mention me too!

Dear Lily,

I told you I would write. This is one awesome Christmas. It started to snow where I lived. Hey be sure to pet the owl that flew you this letter. I guess I have nothing to say. Just have a happy and peaceful season will you lil?

I'm sending my gift to you soon. Not saying anything about it though.

Love,

James Potter

James POV

I can't help it. I miss Lily Evans! Her laugh, smile, carefreeness. I got to go Christmas shopping for her! I'm done with all my other friends shopping.

After walking around in circles for an hour, I finally decides to buy Lily a charm bracelet, that could protect her from all harm. I mailed the charm bracelet over, as soon as I wrapped it up as good as I can.

Serena's POV

I went over to Lil's house to open my presents. Under the tree, I found one from Lily. It was a matching blue set of clothes!

"Thanks Lily!" I reached over to hug her.

After opening some presents, I found one from Remus. He was always so sweet. It was a little necklace with a moon bead on it. I wondered what it meant. Lily was so excited after finding James present. It was so cute! The little bracelet fit her wrist perfectly, and protected her from all harm.

Tomorrow we're going back to Hogwarts.

((a/n-how'd you'll like that one? tee hee...I'll do chapter 4 tomorrow))
