A/N: i have over 100 reviews! i never expected that for my strange little story!

disclaimer: not mine.

Chapter twelve.

Lily Evans kissed me; she kissed me, SIRIUS SHE KISSED ME!

Yes I know, you've told me 57 times.

Really? I thought it was 58.

No, definitely 57.

Let's make it a rounded number, shall we?

No!

Lily kissed me, Lily kissed me, and Lily kissed me!

No more for now.

Fine.

…

…

…

Here it comes…

LILY EVANS KISSED ME!

Get over it.

No! I refuse to!

Later, Common Room.

I just foud out my parents are going to Egypt with the Lupins for Christmas. AND Lily has to go home to wherever she lives. So that means we can't have our Boxing Day date. This sucks. I have to stay here at Hogwarts, now I have to tell Lily. This really sucks.

You already said that.

I know, but it sucks.

Just go tell her.

Whatever.

Diarecordium Spell.

"Hey Lily." James said glumly, sitting down next to her.

"Hey James, are you ok?"

"Not really. I have to cancel our date." He said,

"What? I don't understand." Lily shouted, "After seven years of you asking me out, when I finally say yes, you cancel?"

"I have a reason." He said quickly, "I have to stay at Hogwarts, my parents are going to Egypt. I have to stay here, and you're going home. So there's no way we can go out."

"Well, you might be able to stay with me for a week." Lily said, she had calmed down very quickly.

"What? Really?" James asked,

"Yeah, I'll have to owl my parents though."

"Okay!" James said happily, he gave her a kiss before she walked away.

Diarecordium Spell Terminated.

Yes! Yay! I might be staying at Lily's house for Christmas! Woohoo!

Can't believe it, I hope they say yes. I'll get to meet her parents and her sister!

What's happening now?

I'm going to Lily's for Christmas… Maybe. Where's Sirius?

I don't know. Why are you going to Lily's?

Cos' she's my girlfriend.

What?

Didn't she tell you? I kissed her the other day.

Tell me about it.

Can't be bothered, you can read my diary later.

No thanks. I don't want to read your perverted thoughts about Lily.

Where have you been anyway?

In the kitchens, with Ellie.

Did she like the look we gave you?

I think so; I hope so.

She would like it! Good stuff! You guys are together; Lily and I are together. All is good in the world!

Yeah, except we have to make Padfoot realize he actually really likes Emma.

At the moment he just wants to go out with her because he kissed her and she's one of the only seventh years he hasn't dated yet. The only others are Ellie and Lily.

Have you bought Lily a Christmas present yet?

No, I have no idea what to buy her. You've got to help me Moony.

No can do James. I have no idea when it comes to girls remember, that's what you said.

You do! Moony, please!

No, you should figure it out on your own. Anyway, I really have no clue with presents for girls.

Moony! You do! Please help.

No.

You suck.

You realize that insulting me is not going to make me say yes.

It's so unfair.

You'll think of something.

No I won't!

You will, I have to go. I need to do my homework.

Useless. Aren't friends supposed to help one another? Geez, maybe I'll ask Ellie for help. Yeah, she's cool; she'll help me.

Wonder where she is? Remus says she was in the kitchens with him, though I doubt she's still there. I should use the map, but Sirius took it so he could play hide and seek with Peter.

You'd think that at age 17, they would of stopped playing hide and seek. Now I have to find Ellie without the map, which means I'll have to go all over the castle.

I finally found her; I can see her now. I looked in heaps of places; the astronomy tower, the Great Hall, the Head's common room and even the library.

I'm sitting in the grandstands; Ellie is flying. She's a brilliant seeker, on my team of course. Wonder why she's flying, she looks angry. Her hair is long and black, flying behind her.

I waved to her; she's coming down now.

Diarecordium spell.

"You ok Ellie?" James asked,

"Yeah, I guess. I'm just… stressed." She replied,

"Why?"

"Don't worry. Why are you out here?"

"I need your help." James said, "I need to buy Lily a Christmas present, can you help me figure out what to get her?"

"No, I think you'll figure it out."

"No, I won't. Please?"

"Fine, take her to Hogsmeade, go into every single shop. The one thing she spends most of her time looking at will be the thing that she loves." Ellie sighed,

"Ah! Thank-you!" James said excitedly.

Diarecordium Spell Terminated.
