A/N: Hello! Me again! Hope you guys liked the last chapter… I didn't leave a long enough pause (2hrs) within doing the second chapter to find out coz no-one had reviewed by then but please review this chapter… I have the idea for this story absolutely finalized but I just have to still write it… it definitely won't take as long as any of my other stories though coz I'm still not sure where they're going! (Oh! And btw, they are not in the wizarding world… it's a normal muggle school…)

Disclaimer in chapter 1.

As the weeks wore on Lily came to see Harry more and more often and they even became friends though none of Lily's other friends would know that.

They even had lunch together whenever it was a rainy day and they were confined to being indoors. It was some of the happiest moments Harry could remember whenever he was with Lily. Her contagious laugh and bubbly nature made her a great person to spend time with and an even better friend.

After school, once everybody else had left, they had taken to walking down to the local café and having hot chocolate before Harry walked Lily home and sadly walked home himself.

This day was like any other.

As their teacher walked into class, the students stood, chanted 'Good Morning Ms. Mills' and sat down for roll call.

Normally, the children would take out their maths work and begin on that but the teacher had an announcement to make today.

"Till the end of next term you will have a project to complete as well all your normal school work. You will be doing this project individually and will carry out research into any material which you have approved by me. This could include a favourite animal, sport, book or even one of your fellow classmates. It is to be presented in either a booklet or poster. You will be getting assessed on this and the student with the highest marks will receive a prize at the end of year prize giving. That is all I have to say; if you have an idea for your project come and talk to me."

As chatter started up around the room about what people were going to do for their project or in some cases, bragging about whose project would win, Harry raked his mind trying to think of what to do. Looking around, Harry caught Lily's eyes and with a mysterious grin she whispered that she had an idea.

Having seen that look before and knowing that nothing good ever came from it, Harry nervously awaited when school would finish so she could tell him over hot chocolate. (It was a sunny day so she would be playing outside at lunchtime)

After what seemed like an abnormally long day, the bell finally rang signalling that school had ended. Taking longer to pack his bag, Harry always managed to miss the stampede out of the gates.

Walking over to the swing set in the playground, Harry found Lily already waiting for him.

"Hey slowpoke. How was school today?" she grinned.

"Fine," replied Harry, "Now what was it you had that scary look on your face for when Mills announced the project?"

"Scary! Why… I'm offended!" she grinned, teasing him as normal.

Rolling his eyes, Harry knew a mere tickling would suffice to get the wanted information out of her and surely enough she gave in within a couple of seconds.

"Oh fine! …I was thinking… drum roll," she paused dramatically at which point Harry rolled his eyes again, "we could do the project on each other!"

Harry only stared at her which prompted a fast explanation.

"Oh come on! Pretty much no-one in our whole class even knows your first name leave alone anything about you!"

"Let's keep it that way" muttered Harry, his hands in his pockets and already starting to walk to the coffee shop.

"Come on Harry!" whined Lily, puppy-dog eyes in full view, "And you can spill any dirty little secrets on me!"

Immediately surrendering to the puppy-dog eyes, Harry finally agreed.

"Dam those puppy-dog eyes to hell!" fumed Harry on the way to the coffee shop but Lily never even heard; she was too busy planning her project.

A/N: Ok so that was pretty much a fill-in chapter because I realised that my plan had a gap of about a year in between there and I couldn't really skip that year but don't worry; this'll only take one or two chappies…

Please Review!
