BastsCleopatra: I'm glad you don't think my story's stupid and I will try to add some cliffhangers. I just have problems writing cliffhangers cause I hate them soooo much. Haha! But I will take you suggestion under consideration.

~The morning after~

Lily woke up the next morning in her bed. It took her a minute to figure out where she was. She could have sworn she'd fallen asleep on the couch in the common room next to... James. JAMES!

'OMG! I fell asleep next to James. I can not believe I did that.' She thought as she sat up in her bed and slapped her forehead with her hand. 'I'm so never going to hear the end of it from Cat.'

'What about the dream?' Another voice in her head asked.

'What dream?' she answered. 'Oh... the dream. I don't get why at that dream was about. I know it was James and me but the chances of us getting married and having kids are slim to none.'

"LILY!" Cat shouted as she pulled back the curtains of Lily's bed.

"Why are you shouting?" Lily asked covering her ear with her pillow.

"Sorry, I was coming to wake you up. I didn't know you were already up." Cat explained.

"Who are you and what have you done with Cat?" Lily asked suspiciously.

"What ARE you talking about?" Cat asked bewildered.

"You have never awaken, in the 6 years I have known you, before me. Let alone on a Saturday!" Lily exclaimed.

"Well after we finished cleaning we all fell asleep. I mean if you fall asleep at five o'clock, you don't need to sleep till twelve o'clock the next day. It just doesn't work that way." Cat explained.

"That made absolutely no sense what so ever." Lily rubbed her eyes, trying to totally wake up. 'Hey, I can lift my arms!'

"It's seven Lily. That's like fourteen hours of sleep!" Cat said exasperated. She plopped down on Lily's bed.

"Oh, ok." Lily now fully comprehended everything. "Did we all fall asleep downstairs?" Lily asked.

"Um, no. Only you did." Cat smirked.

"Then... how... when...?" Lily tried to figure out how she got up here.

"James." Cat's smirk widened.

"James?" Lily asked. 'Please oh please don't let it be what I think it is.'

"Yeah he carried you up here and put you in bed." Cat was now fully grinning. "Yeah it was so sweet. I told him which on was your bed and he set you down and took you shoes and robe off and tucked you in!" Cat finished with a sigh.

Lily looked down and noticed that she was still in her uniform. She still had her sweater and skirt on and her tie was still perfectly straight.

"How did he get up the stairs?" Lily asked. 'I can't believe James would do something that sweet.'

"They're the Marauders! They know how to get anywhere in this castle." Cat explained.

"Oh." Lily didn't know what to say.

"Lily! Is it true James and Sirius were in this very room?" Beth bounded into the room.

"Would you shut up?" Anna mumbled into her pillow.

Lily blushed. "Yeah that what I heard."

"Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod!!!" Beth screamed.

"Would you shut up?" Anna said annoyed. "Some of us are trying to sleep." And Anna chucked on of her pillows at Beth.

"Hey!" Beth said when it hit the back of her head. "Fine. I know when I'm not wanted."

"You're right. It's seven freaking thirty on Saturday. There's no quidditch so I can get another good three hours of sleep in." Anna said laying back down.

"Well, I'm awake now so I'm going to take a shower." Lily said getting up.

"Wait let me go first." Cat said standing up off of Lily's bed.

"No!" Lily said walking quickly.

"But you always take forever!" Cat yelled as Lily shut the bathroom door in her face. "Don't you have some prefect bathroom you can use?"

"Yeah. But I'm too lazy to walk over to it!" Lily yelled through the bathroom door.

"Would you two shut up!?" Anna yelled.

Lily took her shower and got out of the bathroom.

"Finally." Cat said throwing her arms up in the air and walked into the bathroom.

Lily put on her favorite pair of jeans and a sage green sweater. She brushed her hair and out it up in a sloppy ponytail, not really caring what it looked like. She then went down to the common room to wait for Cat. She saw James sitting on a couch reading some book. She went and plopped down next to him.

"Hey" she said looking at him.

"Hey Lils" James looked up from his book and smiled.

"Your up early on a Saturday morning." Lily commented.

"Yeah well quidditch practices start next week I need to come up with a few more plays. Plus we went to bed way early last night so I couldn't sleep." He exclaimed.

"Oh, yeah." She replied quietly. "And I wanted to thank you for taking me up to my dorm last night." Lily blushed a little.

"Yeah, well, I couldn't leave you down here all night and Cat wasn't strong enough to carry you and there's no way I'd trust Sirius to do that." James blushed slightly too.

"Well, thank you. It was really thoughtful." She wasn't going to say that there were so many spells he could have used to put her into bed.

"What were you dreaming about?" James asked suddenly with a big smile.

"What do you mean?" Lily asked. 'How could he know I was dreaming?'

"Well I was carrying you upstairs and you said something about '5 and I'm not going any lower.' It was funny." James explained.

"OH, I don't really remember." She lied. What else was she going to say? 'Oh yeah I was dreaming that you and I were married and I was pregnant.' Yeah, that would go over well.

"Mm hmm. I'm sure." James smirked.

"Ok, so what are we going to do today?" Cat asked bounding down the stairs.

Sirius, who was sitting at a table on the other side of the common room, got up and walked over to Cat, Lily, and James who were sitting on the couches by the fireplace.

"Well, one Moony gets back I say we go on a little trip to Hogsmeade." Sirius smiled and plopped down close to Cat. Way too close for Cat. Last night after James had put Lily to bed, he, Sirius, and Peter had gone to the shrieking shack to be with Remus while he transformed. The three boys had been doing it for years and were used to it and they're used to the sleep loss.

"How is he?" Lily asked out of consideration.

"He's doing fine." James answered slowly. Cat was sitting right there! Lily can't be that thick.

"James, would you breathe?" Cat said looking at James who was starting to get scared.

"But... she... you... Lily you said you wouldn't tell!" James said finally turning to Lily.

"I didn't!" Lily exclaimed.

"James would you relax?" Cat said calmly. "Lily didn't tell. You don't exactly have to be a genius to figure out that Remus is a werewo-" Cat started but Sirius put his hand over her mouth.

"Don't say it!" Sirius hissed.

"Fine. Whatever." Cat said prying Sirius' hand off her mouth.

"Who else knows?" James asked seriously.

"Just Cat, Jo, and I." Lily answered looking James in the eye.

"Oh, Moony is going to flip when he finds out Jo knows about him. He didn't want her to figure it out." Sirius smiled.

"Well, now he can finally ask her out." James said.

"What do you mean he can finally ask her out?" Lily asked.

"Didn't you know that Moony has the biggest crush on Jo?" Sirius was giddy with delight.

"I KNEW IT!" Cat exclaimed. "I've been telling her to ask him out for the longest time but she's worried that he doesn't like her."

"Yeah, well Moony is just scared that she'll find out about him and then break up with him." James replied.

"Jo would never do that." Lily said quietly.

"Yeah we all know that but try convincing Moony." Sirius said and James nodded.

"Hey, There's Remus." Lily said when she saw him walk through the portrait hole.

"Hey, we're going to Hogsmeade." Sirius said.

"No we're not!" Lily cut in.

"Yeah we are. You want to come?" He kept going.

"It's not a Hogsmeade weekend we can't go!" Lily exclaimed.

"Potter will you please keep your girl friend quiet?" Sirius said turning away from Remus to glare at Lily. Lily just blushed and stopped talking.

"Who's all going?" Remus asked ignoring the comment Sirius made to Lily.

"Prongs, Tiger Lily, Kitty Cat-"

"-That's not my name!" She slapped Sirius on the arm.

"-and myself." Sirius said ignoring Cat.

"No that's ok. I don't want to be the fifth wheel." Remus said.

"Well we can find Jo and bring her." James suggested. At the mention of Jo's names Remus smiled.

"No" Cat said.

"She's in the library." Lily said. "There's no way your going to get her to leave. Speaking of the library I should really go." She said getting up but James caught her around the waist and pulled her back to she fell on his lap. Lily blushed so red that it was clashing with her hair and James was grinning madly.

"Yeah, I definitely don't want to go." Remus said looking at Lily and James. "I'd definitely be the fifth wheel."

"Well, if you're sure." Cat replied looking worried.

"Yeah, I think I'll go to the library and get some homework done." Remus said walking out of the portrait hole he had just come in.

"Go get her!" Cat yelled after him and then crumbled into laughter.
