Chapter 11
"Lily Bob!" Sirius shouted as he jumped onto Lily's bed and on top of her sleeping body.
Lily groaned and looked up at Sirius. "What are you doing in here Cyprus?" Lily shifted uncomfortable and Sirius planted a friendly kiss on her cheek. "You're hurting me get off!" Lily shouted pushing him off the bed.
The others laughed and Lily just noticed Remus, Andi, James, and Remi standing around her bed. She pulled the covers over her head and let out another groan.
"It's like nine o'clock in the morning. You guys must be crazy if you honestly think I'm getting out of this bed before noon." Lily said a bit muffled from the cover over her head.
The group laughed at their grouchy red headed friend. Andi pulled the cover off Lily to reveal her Sesame Street pajamas. "Why the heck do you have a huge yellow bird and a green guy in a garbage can on your PJ's?" Andi said laughing.
Lily groaned and looked down at her outfit. "It was a gag gift from my mom last Christmas. I was so cold and they're the warmest pajamas I got."
"What do those words mean?" Remi said leaning closer to read the words "Sesame Street?"
"It's a muggle show for little six year olds." Lily said shivering. "I'm so cold."
James made his way to Lily's bedside. He laid down next to her and pulled the cover up and pulled her close.
He pressed his lips against her forehead then whispered in her ear, "Merry Christmas Lily."
Lily's eyes fluttered open and she pulled away from James slightly. "I can't believe I forgot it was Christmas!" Lily said with a gasp. "I'm so stupid."
Lily dropped her head back on her pillow and the others laughed at her and she joined in. She smiled and kissed James on the cheek "Merry Christmas James." Lily whispered sweetly.
The couple began snogging on the bed and the other responded with groaning and annoyed sighs. After a while Sirius was fed up and he gave the couple a shove.
James and Lily fell onto the floor with Lily landing on top. To the other four's dislike the two continued kissing as if nothing had happen.
Remus decided it was his turn to split the two up. He wrapped his arms around Lily's waist and pulled her off James. She squirmed in his arms and gave him an unhappy look when he set her on her feet.
James laid on the floor with his arms outstretched waiting for someone to help him up. Remus and Sirius offered him a hand and helped him up.
Remi and Andi shushed the boys out of the room and told them to wait for them in the common room.
Lily slipped into sweatpants and a fitted long sleeve shirt. She brushed her hair and popped a breath mint into her mouth. The three girls grabbed their bags of gifts and made their way down to the common room to find the boys talking in front of the fire.
James muttered a spell to make the fire radiate more heat around the cold room. Lily laid down on the couch still tired.
Sirius tossed her legs off the couch and sat down on the end cushion with Andi on his lap. Lily groaned and scowled at Sirius who in return gave her a cheeky grin.
James made his way to the couch and lifted Lily's head and slid onto the couch resting Lily's head in his lap.
The six exchanged gifts after a while and enjoyed a sweet and mellow Christmas together.

December 31 {James and Lily}
James took Lily's smooth small hand in his own rough hand and led her from the common room to the grounds. Lily closed her eyes like she was told and pulled herself close to James as if she was scared she would lose him.
James placed his other hand over her eyes to make sure she wasn't peaking and once they got to the spot he slowly lifted his hand off Lily's eyes signaling her to open her eyes.
Lily let her eyes open slowly and she let a big breath of air in. Laid out in front of her was a blanket laid on top of the light layer of snow. On the blanket was a tray of finger foods and butterbeers. It was set up right along the bank of the school's lake and there were lit candles floating in the air around the blanket.
James smiled with delight at Lily's reaction. Once she had taken in all the details of the setting she pulled her whole body to James and planted a passionate kiss on his waiting lips.
James pulled away after a while and took Lily's hand and led her to the blanket that awaited them. He leaned his back against a large rock and sat on the edge of the blanket. Lily gave him a smile and sat between his legs on the blanket and snuggled back into him and pulled another soft blanket around the two of them.
Lily stared out to the water and admired the moonlight bouncing off the icy water. "This is so beautiful." Lily said a little above a whisper. "The lake is so perfect tonight."
James move Lily's thick red hair to the one side of her shoulder to look at the lake Lily seemed to be fascinated by. He found himself being distracted by her long smooth neck that was revealed when her hair was moved.
Lily cocked her head to the side still admiring the lake. Her movement made her neck seem more kissable to James. He finally gave into his thoughts and placed his lips on her neck.
Lily's rigid shoulders dropped as she relaxed and let James' warm lips make their way up and down her neck. James smiled to himself as Lily seemed to be enjoying herself.
Eventually James' lips made their way to Lily's lips. The two made themselves more comfortable and Lily turned around and wrapped her legs around his body. After a while of passionate kissing James pulled back.
"Whoa Lil maybe we should slow down a little or we might end up doing more than we planned on." James said breathing heavily.
Lily blushed furiously. "Sorry." She said sliding off his lap but still cuddling close to his side.
James smiled and pulled the tray of finger foods over. "Happy two month anniversary Lily." James said giving her temple a light kiss.
Lily smiled brightly. "Happy two month anniversary James."
The two took turns feeding each other the little finger food. Lily couldn't help but giggle at the way James gobbled each small morsel of food down when she placed it in his mouth.
Once they finished off their butterbeers the two just stared up at the stars still cuddling close. "James would you like to share a muggle tradition with me?"
James turned to her with a confused look on his face. "I'd share anything with you." He said with a wink. "What is it?"
"Well muggles like to count down to the New Year and once the clock strikes midnight everyone celebrates and shares a kiss with their sweetheart." Lily said smiling looking up to James' face to see his response.
James chuckled. "If its an excuse to share another kiss with you then of course." James said receiving a playful shove from Lily. "So how long until midnight?"
Lily glanced at the delicate watch on her wrist. "It's later than I thought, we have five minutes." Lily said standing up and offering a hand to James.
"As much as you try Lily I don't think tiny little you can lift me up by yourself." James said with a laugh.
Lily scowled at him. "I'm not tiny, let me try."
"Whatever you say my dear." James said with a mischievous grin.
As Lily tried to pull him up James was surprised at how strong she was. He used his strength though to pull himself and her downward. Lily stumbled and fell down on top of him.
"No fair you fought my strength." Lily said pouting.
Her pouty expression was soon changed to a huge smile as James tickled her sides. She squealed and squirmed trying to get out of his reach. Before she rolled away he stopped his tickling and hugged her tightly and looked up into her eyes.
Lily went serious as she looked into his eyes as if searching his soul. Lily began to feel frightened feeling like James was reading everything in her mind. She moved her eyes from their intent stare.
"Come on we only have a minute now." Lily said softly.
James nodded confused at why Lily had turned away from his stare so suddenly. Lily pulled herself off him and the two stood up.
" 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2.."The two said together staring at Lily's small watch.
"ONE!" The two shouted.
James grabbed Lily around the waist and pulled her close into a deep kiss. Lily kissed James back and slipped her wand out of her pocket and pulled away long enough to mutter a spell.
Lilt returned her wand to her pocket and wrapped her arms around James' neck and deepened the kiss as fireworks went off above them and confetti rained down on them.
At that moment the two felt like they had never felt before. Once they pulled apart Lily whispered, "Happy New Year James Potter."
James smiled. "Ready to go back in Lil?" James said slightly disappointed with his own words.
Lily gave a nod and the two used their wands to clean up their romantic setting. They walked hand in hand back to the castle.
************************************************************************
December 31 {Sirius and Andi}
It was around seven o'clock and Andi and Sirius were sitting in a chair pulled close to the fire.
"So handsome boyfriend of mine, do you have anything planned for us tonight?" Andi said running her finger over the sharp features of his face that fit him so perfectly.
Sirius smirked. "There's nothing special about tonight unless you want to celebrate that lame New Years thing that the muggles seem to love so much." Sirius said with a chuckle thinking about how lame muggles could be.
Andi's smile was wiped off her face. "Nothing special about today, are you serious?" Andi said growing angry.
Sirius gave a laugh. "That my favorite question. Are you serious? Of course I am, my name is Sirius!" Sirius said giving Andi a playful shove.
Andi's insides started to boil. 'How immature can he be I can't believe him!' Andi thought.
Andi got off Sirius's lap and pulled away when he reached for her confused. She stormed up the girl's staircase and slammed the door to her dorm. She flopped onto her bed and was about to cry but before she got a chance she heard her door open.
Sirius made his way to Andi's bed and sat on the edge. "I think you forgot I know the spell for those stairs now. But what the heck is wrong with you? You always love my serious Sirius jokes. You just ran off all mad. What did I do?" Sirius said flustered and confused.
Andi pulled her head up to give him an evil glare. Sirius' face softened at the silent tears running down her soft cheeks. Sirius brushed a tear away that was hanging from her chin.
Andi batted his hand away and dug her head into her comforter again. "Go away." Andi mumbled.
Sirius was annoyed by how stubborn she was being. "I still don't know what's wrong and I'm not leaving until you tell me what just happened downstairs." Sirius said sterner than he intended to.
Andi burst into tears and pulled her head up. "You're not what I wanted you to be!" Andi spat making her way for the door.
Sirius was quicker than her and grabbed her arm roughly before she made it to the door. "Am I not good enough for you now?!?" Sirius said harshly.
Andi stared hard back at him but couldn't find a response. Sirius in his rage threw her against the wall pinning her against it. He didn't know what he was doing his anger was taking him over.
Andi's eyes grew in fear and when Sirius saw this he released her robes and looked at his hands like they had deceived him.
"You're mad!" Andi screamed running out of the room crying.
Sirius buried his face in his hands so angry at himself for physically abusing Andi He even found a tear come to his eye but he made sure it didn't fall. He liked Andi a lot and he knew what he just did could ruin everything.
He wanted to confront her but he knew he couldn't run down because that would be too threatening. So he walked down the stairs at a slow pace scanning the common room from the stairs.
He spotted her in the far corner hugging her knees sobbing and shaking. Sirius walked towards her slowly. When Andi noticed him come towards her, her face went stern.
"Stay right there!" She shouted.
Sirius stopped and immediately felt hurt that she would think he would hurt her. As wimpy as it sounded he almost wanted to break down and cry right there.
Sirius had a sad and sincere look on his face. "Andi I'm so sorry baby. I don't know what happened I promise you I'm not abusive or anything and I would never do anything to hurt you. Please forgive me." Sirius said softly.
Andi looked at him like he was crazy. "Sirius you do realize that you just shoved into a wall in rage. If we ever got in a bigger fight who knows what you would do to me. I had no clue what you were going to do you looked like you were going to rape me." Andi said angrily.
Sirius dropped his head down. "What was it that you were mad about?" Sirius said calmly.
"Today is our two month anniversary and I thought you had something special planned because I know James has this perfect evening planned for him and Lily. I guess I just assumed that you had something just like that planned for us." Andi said letting her voice soften.
Sirius looked up again and his eyes grew big. "Andi I'm so sorry I forgot all about it!" Sirius said apologetically.
Andi just shrugged and gave a dismissive wave. "It doesn't matter we're over now I can't be with you when in the back of my head I'm scared that you might hurt me." Andi said as tears stung her eyes.
Sirius came closer but not too close to get her upset. "Andi please don't do this to me or to us. I like you so much and I think you feel the same way. Please don't do this." Sirius said pleadingly.
Andi shook her head letting the tears flow. "I'm sorry Sirius it's over. Maybe some day we'll be back together but now I just can't be with you."
Andi stood up and walked up to Sirius cautiously. She laid a gentle kiss on his lips and pulled away still letting her tears fall. "Goodbye Sirius."
Andi made her way slowly up to her room and when she got there she went back to her bed and cried.
Sirius stood there and touched his lips trying to remember the taste and feel of her lips. He went back to his dorm and laid on his bed and put a spell on himself to knock him out so he wouldn't be tortured with their memories.

January 1
Lily woke up the next morning feeling great. Her evening with James was amazing she loved every minute of it.
Lily took a long hot shower to warm her cold body. Once she put on some clothes she walked out of the bathroom.
She stopped short when she heard light sniffles from behind a closed curtain. Lily walked over to the curtains and opened it to reveal her puffy eyed best friend.
Lily shot the curtains behind her and sat on the bed and wrapped her arms around her shivering friend. Lily didn't push for anything because she knew Andi would tell her what was wrong when she was ready.
Andi leaned her head on Lily's shoulder and finally got the strength to tell her what had happened. "Lily I, we're , me and.." Andi started.
Lily stoked Andi's soft blonde hair. "Shh it's alright hun if you're not ready I'll always be hear for you to talk to." Lily said soothingly.
Andi drew in a big breath of air. "No I'm ready now." Andi said pausing to pull the words together. "Me and Sirius are through." Andi said bursting into fresh tears.
Lily took in a sharp breath not expecting this news. "Oh Andi I'm so sorry what happened?" Lily said hugging Andi tighter.
"He pushed me Lily. It wasn't playful either he shoved me into the wall. I could probably get over that though. But Lily it was his face, it looked so full of hate it was terrifying I'm scared to look at him again." Andi said sobbing into Lily's chest.
"Oh Andi you'll get through this you'll find another guy." Lily said not sure she said the right thing.
Andi shook her head. "I really liked Sirius Lil and he told me he likes me so much too and he pleaded with me not to break up with him but I had to Lily I just had to."
Lily shook her head in understanding. Andi laid back down on her bed. "Can I be alone?" Andi said softly.
Lily nodded and gave Andi a friendly kiss on the cheek and left the room. When Lily went to the common room she sat down feeling guilty.
Last night was quite possibly her best night ever. While she was snogging James her best friend was crying, heartbroken. Lily felt guilty for allowing herself to be so happy when her best friend had been hurting.
Lily knew she was being to hard on herself but she just couldn't believe that Sirius and Andi were through. Would this put a riff in the group like Andi and Lily's fight had?
