Author's Note:
I want to make this chapter extraordinarily long, but I don't know if I
will be able to, because as of this moment I have no idea what I am even
going to write! Should I be predictable and instill a ball on the
population of Hogwarts, or maybe a Hogsmeade Weekend? Who knows, who cares,
as long as I write something right? I will take a moment to bask in the
wonderfulness that is my darling Sarah, and I ask that we all bow our head
for a minute of silence in honor of her absolute greatness!

Chapter 11- Damn odd numbers! DAMN ODD NUMBERS!! ::Bursts into a fit of frustrated tears::
James rolled over in his bed and smiled. His alarm hadn't gone off yet and he was already feeling refreshed; it was definitely going to be a good day at school. His mind wandered back to Lily and the night before, realising that he'd been up until way past four and that he shouldn't feel this refreshed. He leapt up and looked at his clock. It was 9:30! He was going to be late for classes!
He leapt out of bed and looked around the room. Snores could be heard from Peter's bed and a quiet muffled talking that sounded a lot like "Mary Poppins bakes nice cookies, Mary Poppins bakes nice cookies." being repeated over and over again could be heard from Sirius' bed. James laughed to himself as he looked at the Calendar, it was Saturday, and it was a Hogsmeade Saturday at that. He smiled at his good fortune, before climbing back into his warm bed for a few hours more sleep.
*****************************************************************
Lily rose from her bed at 10:00 and glanced at the mirror. Granted it WAS 10 in the morning which was way past her usual rising time, but the dark circles beneath her big green eyes showed that she was deprived of sleep.
Remembering how late it had been when she'd left the common room after her talk with James and Sirius, she found the explanation for the dark circles.
She stumbled into the bathroom and took a long and refreshing shower before dressing in a nice skirt with a very cute top and jacket.
She left the dormitory full of sleeping girls and found the common room fairly full of bustling teenagers, pressuring each other into accompanying one another to Hogsmeade for dates and generally being teenagers.
She smiled at the simplicity of her life, and decided to make the most of her peaceful morning by setting out on a breakfast picnic (A/n: Our story is full of picnics ey? That's like, TWO!) She made her way to the great hall, thinking of the breakfast foods she could bundle up to take outside with her.
As she entered the great hall she found it amusing to see the Gryffindor table practically empty, as most of the Gryffindors liked to stay in bed until late on weekends. She sat down at the table and filled the plate in front of her with croissants and poptarts, (She had actually grown accustomed to the sweet pastries, and had to agree with Sirius on them) and when she was satisfied she took them outside to bask in the morning sunlight.
*****************************************************************
James tossed and turned in his bed for half an hour before getting up, he couldn't get back to sleep so he may as well just face the day. He looked around the dormitory again but still none of his friends were up, the sound being emitted from Sirius' bed now sounded something like 'don't tease the monkeys, they will take it out on me! Please!' he sounded desperate and James shook his head at the strange dreams his best friend seemed to have.
He walked off down the stairs and the already busy common room didn't look at all inviting. He glanced out the window and saw the morning sun streaming down on the lake and decided he'd go out for a little dip.
He ran out of the tower and through the halls, dodging first years and prefects as he raced Bessie out onto the grounds. He ran past a girl sitting down on the grass and dived straight into the lake, gliding through the water before coming up and running a wet hand through his even wetter hair.
*****************************************************************
Lily gasped as a boy, clad only in boxer shorts ran right past her and dived straight into the lake, sending ripples through the water and making the birds in the trees take flight.
She watched as the silhouette of his body moved through the water, she couldn't quite make out who he was, but he looked as if he had a damn fine body. As the boy popped up out of the water and ran his hand through his wet hair, Lily recognized the body and the face. James Potter was swimming half- naked in front of her while she enjoyed her picnic breakfast. Now she was glad she'd packed those apples and apple-cinnamon Poptarts.
He splashed around for a while, flipping his hair around and looking like an idiot, and she was glad he didn't know she was there.
He began to walk out of the water when he spotted her. The second he saw her red hair his hand went straight to his hair, messing it up in the egotistical way he always did when he saw her. She suppressed a giggle as he walked over to her; his six-pack rippling and shiny with water as he walked.
*****************************************************************
James' stomach did a summersault as he saw that the girl he'd ran past was Lily, sitting there innocently eating a picnic breakfast. His hand automatically went to his hair, and he walked as sexily as he could over to where she was sitting.
"Hey, fancy a hug?" he said, holding his arms out and dripping on her blanket.
"Ew! Get away you look like a wet dog!" she laughed, holding her plate of food away from the dripping boy.
James sat down on the edge of her blanket and looked at her smiling, "Up for some company?" he asked, giving her one of his sexiest smirks.
"Sure, why not!" she said, holding the plate out to him "There's apple Poptarts there and apple Danishes." She laughed.
He grabbed one of each and they sat in comfortable silence while they ate. James sat contently watching Lily eat, and she stared down at her feet as she tried not to blush under James' stare.
"Would you like to come into Hogsmeade with me later?" asked James, breaking the silence.
"Sure, I guess." Said Lily smiling. "Before or after lunch?" she wanted to have as long as possible to get ready.
"Um, how about for lunch? I'll meet you in the common room at 12:30 okay?" he said, standing up.
"Sure," said Lily, slightly sad that he was leaving so soon.
"Well, I'd better get back and put some dry clothes on." He said, gesturing at his wet boxer shorts.
"Okay, I'll see you later then!" said Lily smiling, James looked like a hunk in just boxers.
"See ya at 12!" he called walking off towards the castle.
