Because Things Change

Disclaimer: I defiantly do not own Harry Potter. I swear I really don't! I'm just a stupid, pathetic, girl who has no money. Well maybe not stupid and pathetic but I really don't have any money. Don't sue!

Summary: Both Lily and James's parents are going on a vacation for two weeks at the same time. Lily's family doesn't want her to be alone seeing that her sister Petunia is at a friend's house. James has his two friends Sirius and Remus staying over for the summer and James's parents don't trust the trio to be home alone. What will the parents do? Make them spend the two weeks together that's what. L/J.

Special Thanks: To LadyLupin1020, she really helps me a lot on this story and we kind of keep up each others self esteem on our stories as we write them lol, told you I was going to make this a thing like the 'Disclaimer' ...don't mind me and my craziness everyone... ( I probably would have just stopped if me and her weren't friends )

Sorry about the delay, I just didn't feel like I could write and I was so busy with school and all. Its actually 2 AM right now (atleast it was when I started writing this lol). Hope you like this!

Chapter 28

James lay back on the stiff bed, missing his own bed back in the tower. He stared at the high ceiling of the room, slightly mesmerized in his thoughts that were running over the events of the day even though he didn't know why. Everything had gone horrible but he still had the sense that things were, or would okay in him that he didn't understand. No matter how dumb or stupid it seemed to him, it was still there.

"Mr. Potter," He heard the usual shrill of one of the nurses. He let his head fall to the side to stare at her in acknowledgement. "It's always one of you three boys in here, if you would just stick to the rules," he heard her tsk a few times as she examined his arm. "You'll be fine after you drink this potion," she explained and passed him a small bottle. James chugged it and crinkled his nose in detest. He moved his arm a bit.

"It barely hurts," He said looking at the nurse quizzically.

"Well you didn't break it, just a small sprain, and that potion should heal it up completely by tomorrow night."

"Thanks, may I leave now?" He asked. The nurse looked at the door and then back at James.

"Maybe you should spend the night in here…" She started.

"I'll be fine, really," He said and started to get up. When she nodded in acceptance he left the room down the corridor. He finally arrived at the common room entrance and walked in after saying the password. It was dark other then glow of the fire and he thought the room was empty until he noticed the flash of red hair of a figure lying down on the couch. He half smiled at seeing Lily asleep and then noticed some cookies on a plate on the table and two cups of hot chocolate. He wondered if she had got it for when he got back. He pushed a strand of hair out of her face, and then picked her up and headed for the girls dorm stairs. At the top he felt her move a bit.

"What are you doing…" She mumbled softly not even opening her eyes, from exhaustion.

"You can't just sleep on the couch," James said quietly.

"Says who," Lily answered a little bit more awake. James set her down on her bed and pulled the blankets up over her.

"Says me," He replied.

"Just stay for a little then," Lily said, her voice now filled with frustration. James rubbed his head.

"Fine," he said and sat down on the edge of her bed, looking around the room slightly. Lily sat up.

"I'm sorry," she mumbled.

"Yea, yea. I guess I am too," James said.

"Stupid arguments, I feel so dumb," Lily answered with a fake laugh.

"Yea, we're friends we shouldn't be fighting," he added.

"Yep, friends…" Lily said, James turned toward her about to add something when Lily sat up and kissed him. She put her hand on his cheek and deepened the kiss more, slowly lying back leading him with her.

"Come on Lily!" James said exasperated. "I went through all that to get you to like me, and you told me no. So I gave up and I was doing fine and now that I'm over it your pulling me back in," He let out a breath, "Do you enjoy screwing with me head or something?"

"I'm sorry, I was dumb, I admit it. James I have feelings for you…I just didn't realize it till you stopped," she said.

"I don't think it's going to work," He said looking her straight in the eye, "You don't get it. That hurt a lot and I was finally over it. Why should I believe you, when you already told me before. That you have no feelings for me at all."

"Because I mean it!" She said a tear leaking out of the corner of her eye. She quickly brushed it off not wanting to cry in front of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck slowly bringing him towards her till her lips met his briefly. She let the trail across his chin line to his ear. "James, don't I mean anything to you anymore," She whispered, as she felt him shiver slightly.

"Why shouldn't I do exactly what you did to me," He said. She slid her hands down his shoulders to his chest.

"Then leave," She said. James leaned his forehead against hers.

"How do you do this to me, every time," He asked.

"I don't know," she answered with a slight laugh. He leaned down and kissed her, the stood up. He watched her sigh with her eyes still closed.

"Stay the night with me..." Lily said.

"Not tonight, goodnight Lily," He said with a smile and walked out of the room.

((Not a sexual reference here people XD cause this story isn't rated for that kind of stuff haha))xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

James felt something jump on his bed and the jolt from it instantly woke him up.

"Bloody! Don't do that it's early!" He yelled rubbing his eyes.

"Merry Christmas, grumpy," a voice said cheerfully.

"Oh, Lils, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you," He answered scratching his head, "I thought you were Sirius or something. I forgot they aren't here."

"Last time I checked I was still female," She said sitting next to him.

"Maybe I should make sure," He said with a smirk.

"Don't be perverted," She said and punched his shoulder gently.

"Fine, Let's open presents," He answered with a wide grin. He went and got his gifts off the top of his trunk at the end of his bed, while Lily got the ones she had brought with her onto his bed.

"Should we exchange our gifts to each other last?" She asked.

"Sounds good to me."

(still Christmas eve here)

Suffie felt Remus next to her moving to get off the bed, she pulled him back slightly, best she could.

"No, it's still early," she pouted.

"Got to get up before my parents do, I don't think they'd like this sleeping situation much," he laughed. Suffie sighed and walked back to the room she was staying in. She changed into some khaki pants and a turquoise shirt, pulling her hair back into two small pigtails before walking back to Remus's room. She blushed as he pulled of his shirt and began to put on a new one, she sat back down on his bed.

"Today's Christmas eve," She said.

"It is," he said and smiled, "but no, I'm not telling you what I got you."

"You're no fun," she pouted as Remus laughed.

"You can't just wait till later when you open it?"

"Course I can't. I'm curious now," She smiled.

(still Christmas eve here)

"You do realize you have to meet my family today," Sirius said, Lindsey and him were sitting at the table eating breakfast, both still clad in pajamas.

"You say that like it's a bad thing," She laughed.

"And you act like it's a good thing," He mumbled and pointed a finer at her.

"I'm sure everything will be fine," she said, pouring herself a glass of orange juice, "Just think about the presents we all get tomorrow, haha." Both house elves and adults had already begun running around the house preparing things and doing extra cleaning.

"Everything must be perfect," Sirius's mom said worryingly. She let out a sigh, "We still have hours before the party, and things are getting stressful, maybe you and Lindsey should go to Diagon Alley or somewhere else for a little. Lindsey dear, this party is formal, I doubt you had prepared for that and brought something," Sirius's mom handed Sirius a pouch, "Sirius, take her to buy a dress today, it's on me, my Christmas gift to you Lindsey,"she smiled.

"Mhm," Sirius said shoving more cereal in his mouth.

"Thank you," Lindsey said happily and hurried to finish her cereal.
