In the first hour of the day, I knew it was going to be a bad one.

It could have been the fact that when I woke up, my hair looked like a mess. Not that it looks perfect, but it was messier than usual. Or it was the fact that I walked downstairs, with James coming down a little after me. I turned around to say hi, trying to make the best of the day, and he was blushing. I asked what was wrong and he muttered something inaudible and pointed to my pajamas. I must have looked confused because he muttered one word. Blood.

I screamed in realization and ran upstairs. I slammed the bathroom door and it dawned on me that I had forgotten to take my pill. I walked to the common room five minutes later, and much to my surprise, he didn't say anything. No jokes, no side comments, no secret smirking. At least something was okay so far.

I walked into the kitchen looking for Simon, and he was no where in sight. I walked out to the dinning hall and saw him wiping up a table. I waited politely until he finished than ran up to him and gave him a hug. I pulled back when his arms didn't go around me.

"Is something wrong?" I asked concerned.

"I can't see you anymore."

"What?" I was confused. We had a great day. "Was it James? Did he say something to you? I swear I'm gonna kill him. Every time…" he held up his hand to stop my rant. I looked up curiously.

"It was not James. I just, I'm not supposed to associate with the guest. I nearly was fired yesterday."

I covered my mouth with my hand. "I am so sorry."

"It's okay." He smiled. "I guess this is goodbye." He leaned in for a hug, but I headed for his lips. As usual, James chose that moment to burst in.

"Well I hope the kitchen is stocked, because I'm starved." I rolled my eyes, but didn't catch Simon's eye. He ran into the kitchen without glancing at me, and I put my hands on my hips in frustration. Stomping lightly, I walked over to James. He looked worried, which was unusual for him. I was concerned.

"Is something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." The look left his eye. I was curious, but I changed the subject.

"What is that noise?"

"It's the storm."

"Storm? That's not good is it?"

"No, it's a really bad one. We can't go out on the deck. But since we're here, we might as well eat." He pulled out the seat and, much to my surprise, motioned for me to sit. I ordered a bagel, for my appetite fades in the time of month. He, on the other hand, ordered bacon, eggs, pancakes, and three glasses of orange juice. I raised my eyebrows, but had a rather unexpected flashback.

"James! Stop eating so much. You're going to have a heart attack."

"Dut up." I rolled my eyes but he smiled, showing his chewed food.

"Ew, gross, close your mouth." He swallowed and smiled.

"You know me Lily. I never keep my mouth closed." He winked, I blushed, and Sirius slammed his fork down.

"Now you have thoroughly grossed me out, and I can not enjoy this wonderful meal." I giggled and James let out the hearty laugh I had grown to love.

"I can never lose my appetite. You know," he turned to me, "I was born with an unusually large stomach."

"Is that so?" I asked, trying not to laugh.

"Yes. I was also born with a huge heart. I had my check up a couple days ago, and they said it has grown two inches."

"Oh really. Well, that can't be healthy. Maybe we shouldn't see each other anymore. I wouldn't want you to die because of me."

The light from his eyes never faded as he replied, "Or was it two inches smaller." I laughed, kissed him lightly on the lips, and gathered my books to go to my next class.

I came back to reality when our food arrived. James was waving his hand in front of my face and I blinked in surprise. "What?"

"You kind of faded off to some unknown land. What were you thinking about?"

"Oh nothing." I said, cursing myself for blushing.

"Well, since we have absolutely nothing else to talk about, how about some small talk. What does your room look like?"

This got me very excited. For the beginning of the trip, I had been very antisocial, and it was driving me insane. If it weren't for Simon, I would have been a raving lunatic by now.

"It's black, with pink and green polka dots. In the corner is my painted desk with my laptop, which happens to be pink, and my green lamp. My bookshelf," James rolled his eyes at that, "Is green and the bed sheets are pink. It's the prettiest room I've ever had." I was about to say, except for in the Heads' rooms, but then it would remind him of our relationship, and I was too excited for the conversation to be awkward.

"How can you sleep with all that pink? The mere mention of pink makes me want to throw up." He stuck his tongue out and pointed to his finger down his throat. I chuckled, remembering the good side of him. I tried not to think about the bad side.

"Well, at first, it was just green and black, and that reminded me of Slytherin, which reminded me of Snape, which didn't bring very fond memories, so I added pink which…"

"Which is the farthest thing from Slytherin." I shook my head. "You know, you could have just changed the colors instead of adding another one."

"Oh, I never thought of that! That's smart!"

"And they call you the smartest witch of our generation. Puh-lease." I laughed nervously.

"Well, even though you didn't ask, I'm going to tell you what my room looks like. It's blue, with a blue desk, blue sheets, and a blue rug on the floor."

It was my turn to roll my eyes. "How creative."

"Shut u…" He was interrupted by a loud siren. The kitchen staff went crazy and Simon rushed up to me.

"Hurry, we're evacuating to the lifeboat. We've got a leak!" my eyes widened and I rushed to get outside. James followed me and we made our way through the staff, trying to get to a lifeboat. The storm was whipping us around, making it hard to move. Rain pelted on my face and thunder sounded ahead. People were rushing by me and I began to feel claustrophobic.

That was about the time I passed out.

Short James PoV

She passed out, and I knew I was in deep trouble. I rushed to catch her and barely made it before she hit the floor. She was light and felt right in my arms. I carried her, staggering with the storm beating down on me. People knocked into me. It's funny, because you would think that boatmen would know what to do in a storm. They were panicking and it worried me. I soon found out why.

The life boats had been destroyed.

Great. I was soaked. Lily passed out. Our boat was sinking. We didn't have life boat, or lifejackets. The waves were getting too high for my liking. Suddenly, the boat tipped, and I was flown into the sea. Luckily, I was holding onto Lily tightly. She came with me and I struggled to swim to the surface. The storm was dying down, so I swam and soon saw land.

The storm had subsided and I dragged Lily onto the beach. She wasn't breathing, so, to my great joy, I preformed mouth to mouth. It was the easiest thing I had to do, because she came to after the first one. I was so happy, I could've kissed her. In fact, I did.

But what surprised me the most, was when she kissed me back.

There is a little James Lily action for you. If your thinking she lost her memory, you're wrong, so don't even think about it. Sorry it took so long to get out. I have had no inspiration. I would literally lay awake at night trying to think of the next thing to write about. It all came together though. So it's all good.
