Lily stared. She couldn't believe it. "Vic, did you just say that James was your boyfriend? As in dating material?"

Vic nodded happily, wrapping her arms sickeningly around James's stomach. Remus, seeing that Lily was about to burst, gave her a quick hug and took Rachel out into a private sector until Lily calmed down. Sirius, stifling a grin, grabbed Arabella enchantingly around the waist and led her off. Lily, who didn't notice that everyone left, continued staring at James, who now turned into a ripe tomato.

"Vic, you don't know what he is like! He's a cheater! He is disgusting!" Lily ranted, staring a an amazed Victoria, who smiled even wider with every insult Lily spat. Rolling her eyes at her friend's stupidity, Lily yelled louder. " Don't you get it? He is a cheapskate! He just like women for a day and then dumps them!"

"Lil-" James started.

"Don't call me Lil!"

"Ok, Lily. Please forget about what happened. Don't spoil-"

Lily stopped and grinned evilly. "Vic, let's say that you and I take a walk before the train starts, yeah? Just you and me." James felt his blood drain. He knew this was going to happen.

With a croaky voice, he stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. "Hey, ladies, how about I take a break, ok, so seeyoulater!" With a yelp, James ran to the nearest restroom.

Lily sat Vic down in the empty compartment and told her everything.

"Hey Potter!" Lily laughed, as they both walked though Hogsmeade together. She didn't know why she was being so nice to him, but she was on Cloud nine. Exams were over and life was sweet. James smiled a cheeky smile at her and ran his fingers through his unruly hair.

"Hey, Lil, have you ever danced in the snow?"

"What? What do you mean?" Lily's emerald eyes sparkled with mischief.

"I meant- WHOA!" James laughed as Lily pushed him into the snow.

"ACK!" Lily yelped as James pulled her down with him.

Before she knew it, all the sound of people around her stopped and all she could see were James's hazel eyes staring into her own. It was heaven. His breath hit her face.

And she closed her eyes as his lips took their place in her parted ones.

He isn't a bad kisser. Lily thought as she deepened the kiss, feeling her heart zing and zang around.. All of a sudden, there was a cheer from the crowd that had surrounded them.

James abruptly got up and smiled as Sirius gave him a handful of galleons from the crowd. Lily distinctly heard him say, "I never thought you had it in you mate! You won the bet!"

Lily felt tears well up in her eyes and anger chorusing through her heart. In front of the entire Hogwarts and Hogsmeade population that gathered around, she put her hand on James's shoulder, turned him around and THWACK!

James held his cheek, unable to believe what just happened. Lily took her foot and stomped it in his foot. With a huff of anger, she turned around and never talked to him since.

Vic stared open mouthed as Lily told her.

The silence was killing her.

Vic stood up wordlessly, gave Lily a sincere hug, and went to find James. As she opened the compartment door, five bodies fell in. Remus, Arabella, Sirius, and Rachel stood up uneasily and parted to allow James to enter. Vic, raging mad, stood up and slapped him with all her might. "Damn you!"

"Vic, baby , wait!" James called after her retreating body. "You did this!" James turned onto to a happy Lily, glaring furiously.

"You deserved it!"

"Why the hell did you do that?"

"Why shouldn't I, Potter?"

"Who the hell asked Evans to come with us?"

"I was invited, thanks."

"Damn you!"

"Damn you, too"

The train honked loudly, stopping the quarrel, and soon, it started off.

Rachel leaned into Remus. " What a wonderful start!" Remus kissed her head, and his eyes twinkled knowingly.
