As soon as Lily knew it, it was Christmas break. Lily chose to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas. Shannon was still best friends with Tara and Lily, but had started spending more and more time with James and Sirius. Instead, Dylan and Remus started to hang out with the two girls. Lily was very sad because Dylan and Tara were going home for the holidays. Shannon and Remus were staying at Hogwarts too though. Also, to her disappointment, James, Sirius, and Peter were staying at the castle.

They had no work to complete over break, so Lily sat on a couch in the common room and looked through a Quiddich book that Shannon had bought her earlier on in the year. "Evans, it looks like it's gonna be just us for awhile," James said.

"You wish, Potter," Lily replied, "There are plenty of other Gryffindor students staying here too."

"Yeah, but we're the only ones in the common room," James pointed out.

"Well, whatever. Leave me alone," Lily ordered.

"You know, you wouldn't have to read that book if you just let me properly explain Quiddich to you," James informed her.

"I like to read," Lily said.

"Come on, Evans. Just let me explain it!" James begged her.

"No, Potter. Now, let me read my book!" Lily said, severely annoyed at the distraction.

"Whatever," James said. To Lily's surprise he still stayed on the couch. He pulled out a Quiddich catalogue and flipped through it.

"Come on, Evans," James said after ten minutes, "I know you dig me."

"Why you hubristic, self-loving twit! How on Earth can you come to that conclusion? I would never dig you in a million years!" Lily shouted. At this, Lily was satisfied to see James's crestfallen face. He slumped out of the common room.

"Ah, finally some peace and quiet!" Lily said out loud to the empty common room. Right then someone entered the common room.

"Sorry to interrupt your peace and quiet," Remus said.

"Ah, no problem. You're not Potter, thank goodness," Lily replied.

"That's why I came in here," Remus said uncomfortably, "James is my friend and he's a little disappointed right now. Can you cool it on the insults? He doesn't take being insulted very well."

"Ugh, fine! Not for Potter, because you're my friend," Lily replied.

"Thanks," Remus said then got up and left.

"What's wrong, mate?" Sirius asked James.

"Evans," James replied.

"Oh, to bad," Sirius said.

"Yeah, I guess," James said.

"Hey guys," Remus said, "What's up?" James gave Remus a sad look.

"Lily?" Remus asked.

"Yup, Evans," James confirmed.

"Just stop talking to her," Sirius proposed.

"I wonder how long that would last," Remus chuckled.

"Yeah, I wonder," Peter said, trying to be a part of the conversation.

"I can try that," James said.

"I'll bet you he'll talk to her in less than a day," Sirius said to Peter.

"Okay," Peter shrugged.

"Come on, have some faith in me!" James said jokingly.

"I do. I just don't have faith in your ego," Sirius said.

"Ouch," Remus said.

"Very funny," James said, not amused.

"Come on, mate, take a joke!" Sirius said.

"Oh, look! Shannon's coming!" Peter said. Sure enough, Shannon was walking towards them.

"Hey! Anyone up for a snowball fight?" Shannon asked the four boys.

"I'm in," James said.

"Me too," Sirius agreed. Remus and Peter nodded.

The five of them went outside and had a snowball fight. Lily watched their game from the window of the common room. She longed to have fun with them but didn't want to do anything that involved being around James Potter. So she sat on the windowsill, longingly watching their game. Shannon looked up and saw Lily's face in the window. She waved for her to come down from the common room and join in on the game. Lily thought about it for a second, then decided to go down and have fun in the snow, even though it involved James Potter. She put on a pair of dragon-hide gloves and a hat and went outside. She ran to where the fight was happening and joined Shannon's team.

"I'm glad you came!" Shannon shrieked happily.

"Me too!" Lily said, and then got hit by a snowball. She tuned and saw James laughing his head off. At first she got mad, but then she started laughing too and threw a snowball that hit him right on the nose.

"Oh, you're in for it, Evans!" James warned her.

"Try and catch me, Potter," Lily said then started running.

"You owe me a sickle," Sirius said to Peter. Peter groaned.

James chased Lily around the bank of the lake and finally caught up to her and tackled her to the snow. "All right, you got me, Potter," Lily said, giving up. James looked at Lily confused.

He got off of her. And stood up, looking down at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"Well, I guess holiday spirit is getting to me," Lily said, "Be warned though. When the holidays are over it's going to go back like it used to be between us." James smiled and gave Lily a hand up. The two of them walked back to where Shannon, Remus, Sirius, and Peter were fighting.

"Let's go back inside," Shannon proposed. "My fingers are numb."

Once inside, James stopped Lily. "What?"

James pointed upwards. "Mistletoe," he said.

"I'm not that holiday spirited," Lily told him with a smile. She continued to walk up to the common room.

When they woke up in the morning, the room was empty. Macy and Denise had gone home for the holidays. Shannon had a few questions to ask Lily about the previous day. "First of all, Happy Christmas Eve," Shannon said to Lily. Lily returned it. "Okay, second of all, did something happen between you and Potter?"

"No, no. I'm just full of holiday spirit is all. I can't insult him over the holidays," Lily said.

"Are you sure that's all?" Shannon asked curiously.

"Completely," Lily confirmed.

The two of them got dressed then went downstairs and met James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter. The six of them went down to the dining hall for breakfast. After eating breakfast they decided to spend the day outside. The had snowball fights, made snow-angels, and made a colony of snowman. By the time they went inside it was dark and time for Christmas Eve dinner.

Dippet made a few announcements and then announced for the feast to begin. Then remaining students dug into the delicious meal. After the feast was over, Lily, Shannon, James, Sirius, Remus, and Peter went up to the common room and sung Christmas carols.

"If this is the Christmas Eve feast, I can't imagine what the Christmas feast is going to be like!" Lily wondered.

"More?" Peter asked.

"Yes, Peter, more," Sirius said, chuckling.

"Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm pooped!" Shannon said, "We had a very active day. Happy Christmas Eve! See you all in the morning!" She went up to her dorm.

"I'm going to go too," Lily said and followed Shannon up to the dorm.

Sirius, James, Remus, and the very full Peter made their way up to their dorm and fell asleep excited for the presents that they would get in the morning.
