A/N: I am truly sorry for any confusion in the story. Peter's idea with the snow princess took place a few moments later…My little separating asterisks weren't saved. Curses….

Two Good Deeds in One Day


It was past midnight, it was now December 23. James was hovering beside the sixth year girls' dorm window on his broomstick. Very quietly, he opened the old window and crept inside the room.

"Oh, Merlin…" James's mouth flew open. He had never seen something that horrid. "How can they live with all that…all that…PINK!" He looked around and put his hand over his mouth in pure horror. However, James was glad to see that Lily stood out from all this…ewwwww….Lily's bed, with its green décor, stood out from all the shocking pink in the room.

James silently went to Lily's bedside table and left a Christmas card under her fairy snow globe. (He was relieved to see that she was the only one left from all the sixth year girls. That means a greater chance of some alone time wit her!) Inside the card he wrote a note:

Dearest Lily,

Merry Christmas!

Expect some good deeds before the 25th.

Love,

Your handsome snowman

"Ok, that's done. Now All I have left to do are my good deeds." James whispered to himself triumphantly. He hopped onto his broomstick, closed the dorm window and flew into his own dorm room to get some sleep before his first day of good deeds.

Lily woke up and stretched. The Christmas break had finally started. All she was going to do today was…completely nothing. Lily smiled at the thought.

A Christmas card caught Lily's eye: "What's this?" She asked. She read the note and raised an eyebrow. "Handsome snowman? Oh please!"

Lily placed the card inside her drawer and changed for breakfast.

James was repeating his plan to Peter for the nth time. "Ok, Peter, you got the plan? I greet Lily while you hide behind that statue, she walks closer to the staircase, you trip her, she drops whatever she's holding, I catch it and go back to help her up. Got it?" Of all people, why did it have to be Peter who stayed at Hogwarts for Christmas? Why not Sirius, he would have made things easier.

"I got it, James. Lily…me…statue…trip…you…good deed….. Sure."

Something was telling James that things were about to go horribly wrong.

Just as planned, Lily passed James on the way to breakfast. Lily was admiring a new quill that a first year gave her as a present."

"Hello, Lily!" James greeted.

"Hello Po--A-A-CHOO!" The quill under Lily's nose caused her to sneeze and blow the pretty gift away toward the staircase.

James, seeing the opportunity of doing a good deed without having to cause his lady to lose her balance in the process, ran for the quill. "I'll get it!' He yelled.

James ran trying to look good while he was doing so. He ran closer to the statue where Peter was hiding.

Peter, the poor git, not knowing the sudden change in plans, stuck out his leg as he heard someone coming. "Did I trip her, Ja—Oh dear Merlin!"

Peter and Lily looked down in horror as James Potter tripped and fell down the stairs: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven flights. Seven was a magic number…right?

James was lying down on the cold marble Hogwarts floor. "Peter," he said feebly, "you weren't supposed to trip me, idiot!" But luckily Lily didn't hear him say that.

"I'm sorry, James. I just heard footsteps, and I thought it was my cue and…" Peter looked as if he was about to pee his pants, "I'm SORRY!"

Lily came running in, too. "Merlin, Potter, are you all right?"

"Ajfdhiursuusercdoodle…" No one understood what the poor Potter boy said.

"He's gone delirious!" Peter yelled. His bladder was threatening to give way.

"Potter, how many fingers am I holding up?" Lily held four fingers in front of James' eyes.

"Lily, you asked that question to me almost a year ago remember? When I ran into that…pretty unicorn…." James was trying to focus on Lily's fingers, but they were moving and doubling, and his glasses weren't even properly on his face. "Eighty kajillion…?"

"I gotta go to the bathroom." Peter frantically ran away flailing his arms as he went.

"Hey, Lily," James said, giggling a little, "Your shoelaces are untied."

"What?" Lily was wearing Muggle clothes that day since there were no classes anyway. "James, what the heck are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing?" James replied. He sounded drunk. "I'm tying my pretty snow princess's shoe laces. There we go! I caught your quill," James raised a fist with Lily's quill sticking out of it "AND tied your shoelaces! That's two good deeds in one day! Yippee!" James clapped his hands like a little child.

"Pretty what? What about good deeds? Potter? We have to get you to the hospital wing right away. Potter? Potter? James, don't pass out on me now!"

But it was too late. With a scary childish giggle and a yell: "Pretty snow princess!" James Potter passed out on the cold Hogwarts floor with Lily Potter kneeling beside him.

"Crap it all!" Lily cursed under her breath.

A/N: I hoped you liked this chapter. I'd be really happy if you would review what I wrote and tell me that it made you laugh :D Cheerio!
