-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we all go to the Great Hall, everyone was staring in disbelief of how beautifully the Hall was decorated for Christmas. The Hall was the most beautiful thing I've seen in a while here at Hogwarts, except when the snow falls on the shool grounds.

There were candles flosting above eveyone in the Great Hall, kind of like when it was Halloween onlywith Jack-o-lanterns floating around.

There was also snow falling from the ceiling only when I put my hands out to touch , it disappear beore I could get to the snow.

There were also a lot of different Christmas trees that helped illuminate the Great Hall. And of course, Mistletoe at every enterance and exit.

It was absolutly amazing.

James and I looked around, and seated ourselves next to Remus and Minerva (a.n.- I put Minerva in there because I couldn't think of anyone else so there ya go.)

Minerva is a seventh year, but is going out with Remus because he doesn't act like the rest of the Marauders. They were talking about how Minerva loved Transfiguration and how Remus loved Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"One day I hope to become a teacher here," stated Minerva gazing out onto the dance floor.

"Me too!," declared Remus as they walked hand-in-hand onto the dance floor and disappeared into the dancing crowd.

A song started playing and James got up. He held out his hand and did a little bow.

"Care to dance Tiger-Lily?" he asked with his hazel eyes twinkling much like Professor Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet.

I looked into his eyes and said," Of Course," with a girly giggle.

It was a slow muggle song called "Crazy for this girl" by a group by Evan and Jaron or something like that.

We walked to the dance floor, and I put my arms around James' neck, and he slipped his arms around my slender aist as we moved back and forth to the song. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Sirius sulking in a chair glaring at all the happy couples. I giggled and shook my head back and forth at his actions and went back to dancing with James.

Before we knew it the song was over and we walked over to an angry Sirius and an excited Peter clapping his hands together for some odd reason, with a slap happy grin plastered onto his face.

"I wished I had a date," said Sirius with his arms folded across his chest glaring, yet again, at the people with dates.

"Well, there is always Tonks," I stated ,"She doesn't have a date either."

Getting up, Sirius said," Ya know what, I think your right," and walked over to Tonks that was talking to a group of third Hufflepuffs.

"So Lily, I was wondering, after Hogwart, what are you planning to become." James asked sipping some pumpkin juice.

"Hmm.... I was thinking of becoming an Auror or working for the Daily Phophet. You?" I asked James.

"I was thinking of becoming an Auror as well, or a spy for the Ministry concerning You-Know-Who," said James.

"Cool," I said and started to take a drink of pumpkin juice too.

We were talking about a lot of things like hobbies, books, well me books because James doesn't read much, and a whole lot of other things.

We talked about my sister and how she hates me because I am a witch.

"She shouldn't hate you, she should be proud of you. You are the best witch Hogwarts has ever seen and should should be jealous that you are a witch," stated James with a look of concern on his face.

Later we danced to slow and fast songs. At the fast songs, he danced terribly. If he ever has kids I'll feel bad for them because the won't be very good dancers.

It was about midnight when we headed up to our dorm. We talked again. I liked talking to James because of how he listened and how he could relate.

We stopped at my dorm and he leaned in for a kiss, which I granted with open arms. I love kissing James. When I kiss James, He makes me feel special and all warm inside. I have never felt the same connection that I feel with James than all the other guys I have dated. I love that about him.

We pulled away and he looked into my eyes and said," Happy Christmas Lily, "and walked into his bedroom.

I was left there thinking, Happy Christmas James, Happy Christmas.

The next morning I woke up and looked out my window. It was Christmas. I jumped out of my room and ran into James' bedroom.

"James, IT'S CHRISTMAS, IT'S CHRISTMAS!" I said excitedly jumping on his bed on the part he was laying on.

"Wha....IT'S CHRISTMAS!", he yelled going from groggy to excited in a matter a of five seconds.

I kissed him on the cheek and ran into my room to get dressed, not to forget to put on my Headgirl badge. As soon as I was done, I ran into our common room where all the presents were. James was already there, ripping presents oen with his hands and ripping others with his teeth.

Since I wasn't going home for Christmas I had all my presents from my family there already. Same with James. Everyone was leaving for home this morning, or they already left so it was just a few people there.

I got everything from books to cholthes to picture frames. When I was all done, I ran up to my room to get James' present. I gave it to him and he quickly opened it in record setting time.

He looked at it and said, "Thanks Tiger-Lily, I love this Broom Servicing Kit . Thanks!" He had a big goofy grin plastered on his face that he only showed when he was happy. I love it when he's happy.

I was walking up to my room when I heard, "Lily, wait up, I have something for you too."

I turned around and James was right in front of me holding a little box with a pink bow on top. I looked at him questionaly and he nodded pushed the present out towards me.

I took it and James looked very excited. I opened it and it was a little box. In side the box was a fiery , orange, Tiger-Lily necklace.

It was the most beautiful necklace I have ever seen. It was, as you know, fiery orange, with little diamonds encrusted in it. On the back of the flower it said, To Lily ,with love, James.

I looked into his eyes and smiled. "James, where did you get this? It is so beautiful!" I said .

"Hogsmeade, and I got it because it reminded me of you." He said, with this time, a smile that would brighten the entire sky.
