Chapter 13-
Lily Evans sat at the highest tower in Hogwarts; The Astronomy Tower.
Lily took a deep breath and gazed out over the grounds. Everything was wet and shiny, and the rising sun was casting gentle light upon them. Her razor was caked in blood from the day before; when she had sat on it. If she didn't stop squeezing it, she was sure it would cut her hand.
Lily stood up, careful to balance. As crazy as it may seem, Lily did not want to jump.
So she stood at the edge of the tower, her hand stretched out in front of her, and her razor clasped in her hand. As soon as a ray of light hit Lily's face, she threw out her arm even further, and the razor went tumbling out of her hand; it fell to the ground, where she would never see it again. Nor would she need it. Lily climbed back in the window, and began running towards the common room, for she was going to have a talk with Mr. James Potter.

James was in the middle of a game of Exploding Snap with Sirius, when Lily sauntered in.
"Hey Babe!" James exclaimed, looking up for only a second. "Hey!" Lily smiled, and sat down to watch their game.
"Don't I get a 'Hello, Lily!' Sirius?" Lily looked up expectantly. Sirius nodded absentmindedly. He leaned over and gave her a half-hearted hug.
Lily just rolled her eyes. "Why are you guys up so early?"
"You see, Lils, we never went to sleep." James shook his head as the cards exploded; He had lost, and Sirius had won, yet again.
Sirius cheered and jumped onto the couch; where he fell into a deep sleep.
James shifted in his armchair, obviously making room for Lily; who looked aggravated. "Scoot back over, James." She commanded.
James did, all the while watching Lily laugh at him.
"What's so funny...?"
"God, James! It's like...You do everything I say!"
"I'm sorry!"
"You don't have to be."
Lily then sat in James lap, and kissed him; making his mind go blank until she broke apart.
"Listen Jameh," She whispered. "Jameh? Where did that come from? Are you high?" James was confused.
"Not unless you want me to be. Besides, I have something important to tell you." James nodded, but she still hadn't told him where she got 'Jameh' from.
"I was at the astronomy tower all morning." James bit his lip. Lily, however, kissed him again; before continuing.
"I stood at the edge, as usual. But...Strange as it may seem, Jameh...I didn't want to jump."
He wrapped his arms around her.
"I threw away my razor, James. Because of you. I don't need it when I have you." She finished softly, unaware that she had left James utterly speechless.
"J-James?" She asked uneasily. She looked ready to cry, for some reason.
He hugged her and kissed her.
"Lily, I love you!" Lily's eyebrows drew together, but then she smiled. "I love you too, James."
There was a comfortable silence after her reply.
"Lils?"
"Yep?"
"You said you'd be high if I wanted you to be..."
"Oh gods, James, are you asking me to go smoke with you?"
"Yep. We can go to the Room of Requirement, smoke and hangout..."
Lily smacked him on the arm, before standing up.
"You think I'd turn down an offer like that?"

Lily leaned into James, laughing softly.
"What's funneh?" James asked, only causing Lily to laugh harder.
"You."
"Why?" Lily laughed again.
"When you're high, everything is funneh Jameh."
There was silence, in which Lily crawled over to a wall and placed her forehead on it.
"What the fuck are you doing, babe?"
"Thinking," Lily mumbled.
"But how can you think when your--"
"High? I dunno."
James sighed. He really missed the band. Why did we stop playing? He asked himself. Suddenly, Lily crawled over to him.
"It's over, James."
"What?"
"I'm not high anymore, you idiot!"
"Oh...You want summore?" He rummaged through his pocket, set upon looking for his bag, but Lily stopped him.
"James...time for...A MAKEOVER!"
"Lily, you're obviously still high."
"No shit, Sherlock."
"Then--"
"Come on James!" Lily pulled him up and proceeded in dragging him to his dorm.
