Author's note: I would just like to apologize for my last chapter. I have a major case of writer's block and I am trying to work through it so I apologize if any of the next few chapters are sucky or aren't as long as my earlier chapters have been. I will get over it and you will get you regular chapters back as soon as possible. And I may not be updating as often because Final exams are starting next week and then school ends and I will have a busy summer. We're moving! Yeah, anyway I will update as often as I get a chance. I plan to keep this story going for a while and yes there will be an ending. I will not leave you guys hanging!
PatchLover08: I'm glad you liked the last chapter! I thought it was pretty bad but as long as people didn't think it sucked too much I'm happy.
Lizzard: Yes! I'm glad you noticed the names I used. I am sooo bad at coming up with names and I usually use people's name's I know. I have another story with a character named Lizzy. I just spelled it different. Glad you didn't think that last chapter was too bad. 2 weeks left of school! I can make it! Harry Potter comes tomorrow!!! YAY!!! Email the second after you see it!
Mandyzcool: I can't wait to see POA either. Seeing Hermione punch Malfoy it going to make see the movie worth it. And seeing Daniel Radcliffe (I'm madly in love with him!).
Queen of Day Dreams: I can't believe you thought the last chapter was great! I thought it was horrible. Anyway, I ended up getting an A- on the quiz that I thought I was going to fail. Lucky me! I've seen pics from the movie too! MANY! And yeah the uniform bugged me at first too. But most of the story takes place when they aren't wearing their uniform. When they go to the shrieking shack and everything. Yeah I know it goes off the book a little but it will still be good. And Tom Felton is hot, ok? And so is Daniel Radcliffe! I'm madly in love with him!!!
Ansa12: Yes! I updated again! I seriously think that my last chapter sucked. I don't know why anyone liked it. I have a missive case of writer's block! Please review!!! And your fic it great! I just finished reading your newest chapter!
DOJ: Thanks for reviewing. I know what you mean about it being hard to write after they get together! It's much harder.
GeorgiaBlack: NEW REVIEWER! YAY! Anyway, glad you like my fic so much! I am in the middle of 2 other stories. "Harry Potter and the new girl" that one's a little different and "One of these day" that one hasn't been updated in a while. I'm kinda stuck on it. I hope to end it soon though. The other stories on my pen name are written by one of my best friends. She's a very good writer so you should check those out too. This is the only Lily/James story we have though. And I can't wait to see the Harry Potter movie! I' sure it will be wonderful!!!
Kj-11913: I'm glad you're sticking to this story. I definitely plan to finish it, though it might take a while. It's probably going to be pretty long. I hope you keep reading. Review!!!
The all mighty and powerfulM: You're nearest movie theater is an hour away!!! How do you live? Seriously! I will give you a full report on my opinion of the movie!!!

SiriusLives001: of course James isn't conceited! Yes, quidditch rocks!!! And yep, they're in love! I love romance and fluff so there will be a lot of it!
TickleMePink64: Ok, I know the chapter wasn't that great! Writer's block!!! Lily was mad at James because she asked him to plan all the food for the ball and James hadn't done it yet and Lily got mad. Anyway, I'll try to make this story as long as possible. I don't want it to be too long. I don't want it to end with them dying cause that's depressing so maybe until their graduation. I can't wait to see HARRY POTTER!!!
Mione-xavier: What do you mean just me? I'm going with friends of course. And I will be meeting you there!!!! This movie is going to be sooooo great!!!!

Dontleturdreamsbedreams: Snow days are very cool. The only cool part about snow. It gets old really fast. I'm glad you liked the last chapter. Here's the next one! Review!
Hogsmeade
"Lily! Get up!" Anna shouted at Lily's sleeping figure.
"Five more minutes..." Lily muttered into her pillow.
"No! You need to get up! It's a hogsmeade day!" Anna shouted again. All of the rest of the girls in the dorm were up and fighting over the bathroom.
"I'm tired Anna. Please let me sleep." Lily said switching positions on the bed so that her back faced Anna.
"Oh my god. Is that James kissing Sam?!?!" Anna shrieked.
"WHAT?!?! What is he doing?" Lily sat up in bed now fully away.
"I knew that would work." Anna said happily and left the dorm room to go to the common room.
"That was evil." Lily groaned and got up out of bed.
"Yes, it was! Why did she have to use my name?" Sam complained coming out of the bathroom. She had heard Anna's yell, as did probably the whole Gryffindor tower.
"It's the only believable one." Cat said pulling on her sweater.
"That was mean and uncalled for." Sam pouted.
"Yes, but it was true." Cat stated again and quickly dried her hair with a quick flick of her wand.
"Is Jo out of the shower yet?" Lily asked.
"No, she just got in there." Sam replied.
"Why did you wait so long to wake me up?" Lily asked not wanting to wait anymore.
"Because then we would have one more person to fight for the bath room with." Cat said as she left the dorm to go down stairs.
Downstairs
"Where are they?" James paced in front of the cracking fire in the common room. "Honestly, what takes them so long?"
"Well, lets calculate this." Remus said from his position on the couch. "The get up and first thing they do is take a shower."
"Ok, so that takes like what? 5 to 7 minute?" Sirius said thinking about what his average shower time was.
"Yeah, then they get dressed." James said. "So another five minutes."
"Then brush teeth and hair." Sirius added. "That's another five minutes."
"So it should take them Fifteen to seventeen minutes to get ready. Yet, we've been sitting here for over half an hour." James said looking at his watch again. Remus just sat there and watched Sirius calculate this with a very amused look on his face. Peter just sat in his chair and giggled, while Frank shook his head.
"You two are so sad." Frank said.
"Ok, first of all their showers take at least fifteen minutes." Remus stated through his smile.
"FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!" Sirius shouted. "What do you do in the shower for fifteen minutes? There's only so much you can do in the shower."
"And another fifteen minutes to pick out what they're going to wear." Remus kept explaining, ignoring Sirius' outbreak.
"Why? I just put on what ever I saw first on the floor." James said miffed by this.
"And then at least another fifteen minutes to do hair alone." Remus continued. "Then they brush their teeth and put make up on which can take another fifteen."
"That's a whole hour to get ready..." Sirius said disbelievingly.
"Yeah, so assuming that they got up before us. I think they should be down in about ten minutes." Frank said looking at his watch. He was used to this with Alice.
"So what book have you and Remus read that Sirius and I haven't?" James asked Frank.
"You just figure it out after having a girlfriend after a while." Frank laughed.
"You wouldn't know because you don't pay attention to little things like this." A voice came from the girl's staircase. They turned around to see Anna. "Cat should be down in a minute, Sam should be down too. It might be about ten minutes till Jo and Lils get down here. They were the last to get the bathroom." Every guy let out a collective groan. "Well, I'm going to meet Chris. I'll see you guys that the Three Broomsticks later."
"Kill me now." James plopped down on the couch and started rubbing his temples.
"I'd be glad too!" Cat said coming down the staircase followed by Jo.
"No, please don't." James said a little worried.
"Leave him alone Kitty Cat. He's scared of you." Sirius stood up and walked over to Cat and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"James Potter scared of his girlfriend's best friend? I'll have to tell Lily!" Cat said delighted.
"She already knows." James said from his spot on the couch.
"Well, here come Jo and Lily." Sam said from her spot in a big puffy chair she had sat in.
"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting!" Lily apologized. "They let me sleep in!"
"It's alright Lils. Let's just get going to Hogsmeade. Sirius and I have to pick up a few things at Zonko's today." James smirked in Sirius' directing. Sirius winked back and Cat saw it so she elbowed him in the stomach.
"Ow..." Sirius groaned. He was getting used to Cat hitting him.
Hogsmeade
"OK, well you and Sirius can go to Zonko's, Cat, Sam, and I will go to Honeydukes, Jo and Remus will go to the book store, and Anna and Chris will go to the shrieking shack" Lily instructed to everyone. "We'll meet at the Three Broomstick in an hour and a half."
"OK, I'll see you later Cat." Sirius said bye as Jo and Remus went of in one direction and Anna and Chris off in another.
"And Lils, can you pick up a few bags of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans and a couple Chocolate frogs while you're here?" James asked, as Lily, Cat, and Sam were about to walk off.
"Yeah, but you better give me money." Lily held out her hand and waited for James to drop a few sickles in it.
"Women!" James growled as he dug through his picket in search for some money. "Here." He found a few sickles and deposited them in Lily's outstretched hand.
"Well, I'm not rich. You can't expect my to be able to get you all of that. I do need to save money because I have to but my dress robes later today." Lily said and started walking away.
"A simple thank you would have been fine!" James shouted after her.
"You two act like a married couple!" Sirius laughed at James.
"Shut up Padfoot." James growled in return.
An Hour and a Half Later
"Well, look who decided to finally show up!" Sirius smiled up at Anna and Chris who had just arrived at the pub. They were the last ones to arrive. James and Sirius had moved three tables together so that there would be enough room for everyone to sit down. Chris and Anna took the to last empty seats.
"Do we even need to ask what you two were caught up in?" James smiled mischievously at them. Anna was a bright shade of red, and it wasn't from the cold wind outside.
"James! That's not proper. It's not our business where they were!" Lily scolded James.
"Here you two put your selves to good use and got get us all butterbeers." Cat said handing Sirius Galleon and pushing him up off his seat. Lily pushed James off his and shoved him in the direction of the bar.
"Anyway, we're going to get our dress robes after this right?" Sam asked.
"Yes, I saw a really pretty on in the window of the robe shop." Jo said with a big smile. The boys were currently entertaining themselves with a conversation about quidditch. They would rather not talk about going shopping for dress robes. It doesn't do very much good for their masculinity.
"Um, ok. So when Sirius and James get back with the drinks we'll drink them and go shopping. We'll have to ditch they guys though." Cat said smiling.
"No problem." Chris said. "I'd rather not go with you."
"As if I'd let you come!" Anna said and everyone laughed.
