Lily woke up in James Potter's arms. She sat up and looked around her, she didn't recognize her surroundings. She raised her hand to her head. She had a splitting headache that was killing her.
"Where are we?", she asked
"Our new common room"
James put her down on the couch and conjured a blanket that fell over her. She looked around and gasped. Their common room was just like the Gryffindor common room, only with one staircase and slightly smaller. She saw James walking over to the other Marauders, who seemed to be playing poker. She tried to stand up, but before she could, James warned her without looking back, "I wouldn't do that if I were you unless you want that to happen again" She sat back down, trying to remember what had happened. She laid down and fell asleep.
When she woke up, the Marauders were just leaving the room and James was walking over to her."How are you feeling?"
"Good", she replied, sitting up
James sat down next to her and put his arm around her.
"Alice, Mary, and Marlene were here to visit you, but they didn't want to wake you up"
"Oh"
James conjured some candles and lit them with a flick of his wand, illuminating the common room.
"You know James, I've always had a small crush on you"
"Really?", he said, smiling at her
"Yeah, or at least I used to have one"
"What do you mean?"
"Now I have a big one"
"Well, let's just start off slowly, okay?"
"Sure"
"Hogsmeade next weekend?"
"Why not"
That night, Lily fell asleep in James's arms.
