CHAPTER 11: DRIVEN BY THE HEART
James was all alone, sitting inside his room. He was looking at the window at the far wing of the manor, where Lily stayed.
"Lily, when will you remember everything?" James said, hoping that that wind could carry his message. "Before, you were always with me, but now, you don't even want to look at me. What should I do?"
"What should you do? Try to get out of this room and help her remember," Sirius interrupted, standing by the doorway.
"Padfoot," James said, looking surprised.
"Prongs, why don't you stop crowding yourself in this room and get out of here?" Sirius asked him as he pulled James' arm. "Besides, Lily won't remember anything if you're just here. She needs reminiscing, man."
"But, it's like she's going to hex me everytime I get near her," James said. "I can't even call her Lily."
"Don't you remember anything? Before, you were determined to get Lily's memory back!" Sirius spat, shaking James so that he'll wake up.
"I know, Sirius, but that was different. She doesn't remember anything, anything, then…"
"So, now that she remembered something, you'll just sit here and drown yourself like before?" Sirius asked. "So what if that's what she remembered? Try to get all of her memories back, Prongs. Because if she's really special, she'll come back to you, no matter what!"
"Padfoot," James said, his eyes ignited with new hope.
Sirius sighed and opened James' wardrobe. "Try to dress up; we're going to the place tonight."

"I don't know, Kris. I just can't believe that I hang out with Potter, and now…" she didn't finish her statement but she merely looked at the ring. "Maybe I should remove it."
"And throw it away? No, no, Lily," Kristanna said.
"No. I mean, if my memory comes back to me, I'll wear it again. I'll just have you keep it," she said, trying to remove the ring. It won't move.
"What happened?" Kristanna asked, looking amused.
"The ring wouldn't move!" Lily said breathlessly, attempting to remove it. Her finger became swollen.
"Don't try it anymore, Lily. It really won't move," Kristanna said, holding her swollen finger. "I am starting to believe that other muggle superstitions are true," she said, chuckling a little.
She helped Lily dress up with James' favorite robes of hers (though she didn't know) and apparated down the manor.
"My, Kris, you look wonderful than ever," Sirius praised. Kristanna hit him on the head. "I thought that this hair will smell of rubber forever1," she said in reply.
Sirius blushed in embarrassment. "Are we ready to go?" he asked everyone.
Lily nodded nervously as the four of them apparated to the same place where Lily got her memory back.

"That was really fine, isn't it, Lily?" Kristanna asked, elbowing her friend on the back.
"Ow – yes, it is," she said managing to smile in front of James. She blushed. "I quite enjoyed the food, thank you," she told the man, who gave a small smile in reply.
"I think it is, especially the roast chicken Kristanna cooked," Sirius said, patting his stomach. "You really know my taste," he told her fiancé, kissing her hand.
"PDA's not allowed, you lack-wit," Kristanna said, grabbing her hand away from him.
Lily smiled secretly as she went down the stairs first. However, her long-trailed robes got her and she slipped. She went down the stairs with uncontrollable steps. As she went at the last flight of stairs, James jumped from the stair balcony, did some somersault, and caught Lily's waist, slowly making a 720O turn. Lily met James' eyes, full of worry and relief, and she did something that she felt right to do…
"Am I right now?" Kristanna asked Sirius.
Sirius gave a quick kiss on her lips. "You're wit never decreases, Kris. You're as cunning as ever," he praised, placing his arms around her waist. The girl leaned on his shoulder, watching the scene.
Lily was kissing James, and he kissed her further. Their lips never parted.
"When will they end? Midnight?" Sirius asked, getting bored and weary.
"Do you want to end up single this midnight?" Kristanna threatened, raising a fist. Sirius gulped.
NCSP:
Sitting on the bed,
I slowly take a glance
And listen to the innermost part of my
heart
Thinking of you and me holding each other's hand
Looking
at the sky above while leaning on your shoulder
Do you remember
the day
When we first met each other
But it looks like now I
can't see you before me
And everything seems blurry...
Because
of the tears I won't shed
