Chapter 19

Early Christmas

"Where am I ?" Lily asked the day before the Christmas festivities. Her eyes flickered open. The

emerald fire beneath melted as she saw James. "Hey sweetheart. When were you planning on waking

up?"

"What'd do you mean?"

"I mean, you've been asleep for about 2 months." James said calmly, though it was tearing him up

inside everyday. Lily laughed in his face.

"I'm serious." James said slowly. While thinking, why did I say that? Laugh again!

The laugh disappeared. Realization swept over her face, she started crying.

She was listening to James's voice throughout the whole ordeal. "Hey, I didn't mean for this to

happen. I was mad that we weren't together." And, "I miss you, Lils. God, I need you…" and a few

other things he would probably be embarrassed to know she heard. "Lils, I feel like dying. Without

you there is no point in me living…", that was right about a week after the pranks. Oh, she felt anger

at herself. She felt sadness towards them all. At least it was over. At least now they could be happy

together, all six of them.

"James, I'm really-"she was about to apologize

"Shh… it's ok." he quieted her, putting his index to his lips.

"But-"

"It's perfectly alright, just don't ever, EVER turn me into a chicken again!" he said, making an attempt

at a joke, waiting for the laugh that made his head spin and his heart smile. She did. Without a care in

the world, Lily Evans laughed, head thrown back, shoulders shaking for breath.

He smiled and said, "Ok, your highness. Shall we dine now?" James said making fun of her state.

"Ok, prince, but only if you carry me." She said, making a request she would have killed him if he

tried doing 4 months ago.

He obliged, holding her far above his head. She screamed with joy, "Whoopee!" and James and

she laughed all the way to the Great Hall, where stares where given at the odd off and on pair. And

EVERYONE was happy to see Lily again. James was so happy, it looked like Christmas had come early

this year from the look on his face. In the form of the emerald eyed auburn haired, Lily Evans.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

"Gwyn, I am so sorry. I know I say it every time I come up here, but I am. You deserve better-" Sirius

said, explaining to what was an asleep Gwyn until the flicker flutter of her eyes made Sirius smile

widely. "Gwyn! I missed you. I'm SO sorry. It was James's and my idea to prank 'cause we wanted

you back. Lily and you I mean. We just weren't expecting-" Sirius said hurriedly trying to explain when

Gwyn stopped him in the most unexpected way. She kissed him lightly on the cheek.

"That's for being the man I thought you were."

"Really? So you'll be my girl?"

"No, I am gonna try to form a relationship with Snivellus, of course yes!"

"Wait. I don't-"

Gwyn stopped him again, kissing him lightly, slowly on the lips and they walked slowly to breakfast,

hand in hand, enjoying each other's company.

"Aww! Rem, look at them!" Dia said. She was talking about Gwyn and Sirius and Lily and James. Who

all were sitting next to the two of them, eating croissants slowly, laughing and kidding around the

whole time.

"Looks like Sirius and James found a way to end that weird fight."

"Sure does…" Dia said slowly while she saw Sirius and Gwyn kissing again.

Ok. that's about it. I hope you like the LONG chappie! (ok. it wasn't THAT long...)
