Well, here's the next update for you……

"Close enough for you?" Lily asked James.

"He didn't mind. I think he found it quite funny." James said. "Anyway, his pleased to see us both getting along" he carried on with a flawless impersonation of the Head.

"Whoa. Freaky. That was too good." Lily commented, impressed. "So where's your broom?"

"In my Dorm, me and Sirius were trying to sort out some of its balancing issues. This can be a test flight, I think we may have been a little to enthusiastic, with our modifications." Lily laughed.

They made there way up to the common room talking and were surprised to find it was empty. Lily sat down in one of the comfy chairs, whilst James went to find his broom. When he came back down he saw she had her back to him. Lets she how distracted she gets with the same treatment as she gave me earlier, he thought. Before he reached her however she jumped up, and ran towards the window.

"Coming Jim?" she asked jumping out, and onto her broom heading to wards the lake. He followed close behind, and sped to catch her.

"How did you do that?" He asked.

"What?" She called back over her shoulder.

"Knew when I came in the room?"

"There's a mirror on the opposite wall dumb-arse." She told him.

"You so did not call me a dumb-arse, dumb-arse."

"Yeah I did. What you gonna do about it?" She challenged.

"Do you really want to know?" He asked.

"Well whatever it is your going to have to catch me first." James sped up even more, forcing Lily into a low dive, he followed her down, and overtook her, preventing her from pulling out of the dive.

"Shit" she yelled realising she was heading straight down towards the lake.

James pulled out of the dive and looked down to see Lily land with a huge splash in the middle of the lake. She came up a few seconds later, with her usually wavy red head plastered straight on her head. Looking up and seeing James she threw a number of unmistakable hand gestures his way. He laughed and flew lower, so she could hear him.

"Now that's what I call pay-back."

"Very funny," She said "now get me out of here James."

"Who's the dumb-arse now?" He asked apparently not hearing her.

"Me James, now get me out."

"And whose the sexiest man-alive?"

"James get me out now."

"Sorry wrong answer."

Lily pulled out her wand. "Accio James" she said, pulling him towards her. He landed next to her, but he didn't come up.

"James" she shouted. She couldn't see him, crap, who drowns a guy on their first date, she thought to her self, and then she quickly reminded her self that this wasn't a date.

Suddenly she felt a sharp tug on her ankle, and she found herself being dragged downwards. Panicking she kicked out as hard as she could. She felt her foot connect with something solid, and the strong grip let go, and she swam to the surface. Opening her eyes she was met by a stare from James.

"Miss me?" he asked

"Was that you." she confronted, he nodded grinning, "You bastard"

"Hey apologies for kicking me."

"Don't think so" She grinned his chest was lifted high from the surface of the water, and the damp material had gone slightly see through, allowing her glimpses of his body.

Seeing where her gaze lay, James did not think it was wise to inform her that her shirt was in the same state as his. Instead he asked, "Will you at least kiss it better?" moving towards her.

"Catch me first" She challenged. She swam off with a strong crawl in the opposite direction.

James sighed, why was he always chasing her, he thought, what the heck, he'd been chasing her for 3 years, but this game he could win.

He followed swiftly, gaining on her easily, he had a suspicion she wasn't trying as hard as she might. In less than a hundred yards he caught her easily round her middle. "Well" he said, "I believe you owe me something."

"Remind me, I never like to be in debt" she said softly.

"It hurts" he said in a pathetic voice, sticking his bottom lip out, like a spoilt child.

"Where?" she asked.

He still held her round her waist with one arm, with the free hand he pointed to his opposite shoulder. It looked fine to Lily, bearing in mind he'd just swam, to catch her and was now holding her easily.

"I guess I'd better do some thing about it she said shifting to face him. She gently began to unbutton his shirt. He looked surprised. "I can't make it better with this in the way." She smiled cheekily at him.

"No" He said, his voice breaking slightly.

She lowered her head slowly and kissed his shoulder. "Better?" she asked.

"A little, not much." he responded. She kissed him again, and then on his collar bone. She felt his fingers in her wet hair, pulling her head up slightly. She looked up, and found herself caught by his eyes, the eyes that normally sparkled with mischief, now shone with an inner light.

James couldn't believe it when Lily started to kiss him again, but he found more than anything he just wanted to see her face. He pulled her head gently upwards, and her eyes met his. The intense green eyes that conveyed so much. Seemed to be new, just for him. Once he had thought her eyes a clear green, but now he realised, there where flecks all around her pupils that appeared almost gold. Gold for this moment the thought, in celebration. His eyes travelled down her face, they first reached her nose, then her lips, the darkest red, he'd ever seen, naturally. He just wanted to mark them as his. Leaning down he place a kiss on the side of her mouth, she leant up towards him, and she kissed him again.

"Potter, Evans what on earth do you think you are doing? Get out of there this instant. You will catch your death of cold." Professor McGonagall's voice cut through their moment.

"Professor its June. I don't think"

"That's enough Mr. Potter. Any more and I'll have you in detention."

"Sorry Professor"

"Go to your dormitories and get dried off, you might make diner, if you hurry"

James and Lily left quickly, retrieving their broomsticks in their way. Lily could tell James was annoyed. "I don't think anyone's ever died of cold" he muttered, "What's the new mediwitch to do anyway if we don't supply her with new and interesting cases."

"Easy James," Lily said trying to calm him down.

He looked down at her and grinned, "Always later I suppose?" he phrased what could have been a statement as a question.

"Always later," she agreed.

Later in the common room James, Sirius and Remus were talking.

"So how'd it go with Kate, then?" Remus said.

"You talking to me?" Sirius asked.

"Course, not he's talking to me." James stated.

"No need to get sarcy" Sirius said grinning, "Bit of a relief actually, we started in that awful tea-room, but it turns out K hates it as much as I do, so we left after 10 minutes. Ended up in the three broomsticks at lunch time."

"Well?" James asked grinning.

"Well what?" Sirius said the phrase that they all knew would follow.

"Did you kiss her?" Remus asked, know what James wanted to ask.

"No, first date, come-on mates, I respect Kate. She's not one of those stupid hufflepuffs." They all laughed, between them they'd probably got-off with most of the decent hufflepuffs.

"And how about you young Jim? Did you and Lily kiss?" Kate said entering the common room with Lily. They had obviously heard the majority of the conversation, neither looked particularly bothered though.

Lily laughed, "I guess I should go and join the Hufflepuffs."

"Your all right Jim respects you. Don't you Jim?" Kate asked threateningly.

"Aye" he grinned. "I wonder what Professor Dumbledore would have said, about us getting on if it had been him interrupting us?" James asked Lily.

Lily smiled. "He would have thought he'd been right all along, and would have been dead chuffed"

"Doubt it." James said.

"Sorry we missing something?" Remus asked.

"Yep" James said and recounted the afternoon's events to the group.

"Whoa, good-on ya girl" Kate whispered to Lily loud enough for the rest of the group to hear. They all laughed. And Sirius asked if he could expect the same later, if Kate had been so impressed. Kate smiled, "Play your cards right Mister, and who knows?" She said.

"Hey Lil's" continued to the other girl, "You give me a hand with this muggle-studies homework, don't quite get it."

"Sure thing" She replied, understanding her friend was hopeless at the subject.

"Why not ask me?" Sirius asked hurt.

"For a start Lily's Muggle-born, making her an expert, and secondly Sir didn't you ask Professor Holm why muggles didn't use water sumoning charms to water gardens?"

Sirius blushed, "Hey it's an easy mistake."

Kate pulled out her homework, the topic was muggle elections. Lily spent some time explaining the British system, and how it worked. When she asked Kate if she'd be coming to her house in the holidays.

"Sure Kate replied."Name a week?"

"Third one in. My parents are on holiday, with brat-face so you'll be safe." Kate scowled at the mention of Petunia.

"Hey. I'm coming to." Sirius announced, "I want to see a toaster"

"I thought you were round my house?" James asked.

"Yeah, I am, but I can go round Lily's house too" Sirius said pouting.

"It's only polite to invite some one back round your house Sir." Kate informed him.

"Lily, you can come to James what-ever week you're free." Sirius graciously informed her, "You as well K."

"Nice too know you feel so comfortable about staying in my house." James said to his best-friend.

"Hey" said Kate, "Why don't we all just spend a week at the others houses?"

"Great" they all said.

"Right first week mine" James said, "Second Kate's" he looked at her for conformation, she nodded. "Third Lils, fourth week Remus, fifth Sarah, and then last week at the leaky caldron."

"You'll have to check with Sarah, but sure that's fine" Kate said, "What's wrong with your house Sir?"

"Nothing, it's me parents. That's why I was staying with James all holiday." His tone suggested that the issue should not be pushed further, and they all left the topic.

A/N: Ok, well that's that part, forgive me if I'm being a tad presumptuous, but if you have got this far you must have an opinion on this story, so leave me a little review. The next update will come quicker the more reviews there are, they're much appreciated.
