Chapter 20, Planning

James had dropped her into her room at window.

"Good night," and James pulled his broomstick up, so that their lips had connected. Lily didn't think that she had to worry about the other girls looking because it was well past midnight.

"Night," she said smiling.

He said he loved me! Me! Was the only thought going through Lily's mind as she got into bed.

"So, what happened last night?" Rin asked Lily at breakfast.

"Nothing special. We went flying, he said 'I love you', pulled an Alladin when he dropped me off," answered Lily, taking another bite of her toast.

"Woah- woah- woah- rewind and freeze. He said he loved you!" Rin exclaimed a little too loudly.

"Yep," Lily just couldn't help herself grinning.

"Awwww…."

"Egh!" anytime anyone said 'Awww…' Lily wanted to hurl.

"So…."

"So what?" Lily didn't really like to talk about dates; to her they seemed sort of personal.

"What happened next?"

"A lot of mush, can we change to some other subject?"

"Why?"

"Because, talking about how a date went seems sort of desperate, even if you have a boyfriend already. I don't mean to offend anyone though, but that's just the way I think."

Rin got upset; she was always a tad touchy. Jealous too, because Sirius hadn't yet said that he loved her.

"Ohhh… quit your complaining."

"What's Rinny complaining about?" Sirius asked sitting down next to her.

"Nothing."

"Hey," James said coming in and sitting next to Lily.

"Hi. Well, I'd better be going, I've got that graduation speech to write. I'll be somewhere if you need me." Lily gave James a quick kiss and walked out of the door.

Graduation was in three weeks, and James had something very special planned for graduation. All he needed was Sirius's, Remus's and Peter's help to perform it.

"Hey guys, I've got something that I need your help with."

"Sure Prongs, anything," answer Sirius.

"It'll be tricky, and will need excellent timing."

"You're forgetting who we are," Remus joked.

"Great, then let's get cracking!"

"What are we cracking?" Peter asked in his stupid manner.

"You'll see…." James, Sirius, Remus and Peter, all left the Great Hall.
