James woke up the next morning and jumped out of bed, literally jumped out of bed. He grabbed his clothes ran to the bathroom to take his shower. While getting dressed he thought: What if it was all a dream. What if I made it all up? What if Lily really isn't my girlfriend? What if it was a joke? James finished getting dressed and ran up the steps to Lily's room and knock on the door.

"Go away I'm sleeping," James heard that and chuckled. He opened the door and walked over to the bed and sat down. Wow look how beautiful she is. She looks like an angel.

Gently shaking her James said, "Lily."

"I'm sleeping, James," she said and she pulled the covers over her head.

I thought she was a morning person. "Lily are you really my girlfriend?"

Lily pushed the cover back down and looked sleepily up at James and said, "What?"

James nervously asked, "Are you really my girlfriend?"

Lily rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, now is that all you woke me up for?"

James smiled and said, "Yes, I just wanted…" Was all he got out before being smacked upside the head with a pillow. "What did you do that for?"
"You woke me up to ask me that when we talked about it all day yesterday," Lily said.

"Well I wasn't sure if I dreamed it or if it was all some sort of joke," James said disbelief in his voice.

Lily sat up and kissed James sweetly on the lips before saying, "It wasn't a joke and you didn't dream it. I'm your girlfriend that is if you still want me to be."

James smiled as he pulled Lily into a hug and kissed her on the forehead before saying, "Of course I want you to be my girlfriend. It's what I've dreamed about for six years."

"Well then, I am. Now what time is it?" Lily asked as she rubbed her eyes.

"6:30 in the morning."

Lily groaned and said, "I could have slept another half an hour."

"I'm sorry," James said guiltily.

Lily smiled and said, "Its okay. I think I will just go ahead and get ready now. So James, if you don't mind," she pointed towards the door.

"I could help you know," James said winking suggestively.

"In your dreams Potter; in your dreams," Lily said as she pushed him off the bed and got up.

"So I can dream?" James asked as he got up from the floor.

"You can dream all you want, but in your room, now out. I need to get a shower and get ready."

"Yes, flower," James said walking out of Lily's room.

After the door was closed Lily fell back on her bed and thought, stupid git.

A little voice inside Lily's head said, he is, but you fancy him.

So what if I do?

It only took you six years to admit to it.

Yeah well at least I finally admitted to it.

But you could have been snogging him sooner if you weren't so stubborn.

Shut up.

Why should I?

Because I said so. I'm arguing with myself, I must be going crazy.

Lily got up and walked into the bathroom and took a shower. After she got ready she walked out of her bedroom and down to the common room.

James was sitting on the couch when Lily came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him kissing his cheek. "You ready to go down to breakfast?"
James smiled and said, "The real question is are you ready for all the stares, questions and glares, we are going to be getting?"

"As long as you're by my side," Lily said as James got off the couch and took her hand.

Intertwining his fingers in hers James led her out of the common room and they headed towards the Great Hall for breakfast. They stopped before entering the Great Hall. James looked at Lily and smiled squeezing her hand to reassure her that he was there.

Lily looked at James and smiled as she said, "Let's go. I'm hungry."

James pushed the doors open with his free hand and he and Lily walked into the Great Hall. The noisy chattering that had been going on had stopped and people were staring wide eyed at the couple as they made their way to their normal seats with their friends at the Gryffindor table.

Lily sat down and James sat down beside her. Lily and James started to fill their plates with food, not bothering to look at the questioning and surprised faces of their friends. After about five minutes of silence Alice said, "Okay since no one else is going to ask I am. What the hell is going on?"
Lily smiled and said between bites of pancakes, "James and I are going to the dance together."
James then said, "And Lily's my girlfriend."

Sirius not believing what he heard said, "Come again. I thought I just heard Prongs say that Lily Evans, the Lily Evans the girl who has hated him for six year, is now his girlfriend."

Lily chuckled and said, "You heard right Sirius. James is my boyfriend. Close your mouth, it's not that shocking."

Jen was the next to speak, "Yes it is Lily. You have declared your hate for James for six years and now all of a sudden you are dating him."

Lindsy and Remus looked at each other and smiled. Then Lily said, "Well I never hated James, it was all a way to hide how I really felt about him. Now could you all just be happy for us?"
Frank smiled and said, "Of course. Congratulations James, you finally got the girl your been chasing after for six years. Now what are you going to do?"

"This," James said as he kissed Lily on the lips and pulled her close.

Sirius finally recovering from his shock stood up and said, "Sonorous (I think that's how it's spelled.) Ladies, Gentlemen and Slytherin, I Sirius Black have and announcement to make. James Potter has finally gotten the girl of his dreams. Lily Evans had finally agreed to be James' girlfriend. I think we all need to give them around of applause." Sirius paused just long enough for everyone to clap then continued again. "Okay, now girls I know you are all glaring daggers at dear Lily hear, but I suggest you stop. James isn't going to leave her for you, get over it and boys who are looking at Lily, you might want to stop, that is unless you want to be hexed by James. Thank you that is all. Quietus," Sirius finished and sat back down.

"Thank you for that announcement Mr. Black and congratulations Mr. Potter and Miss Evans. Now if you don't mind I think we would all like to get back to breakfast," Professor Dumbledore said with a chuckle and a twinkle in his eyes.

"Detention with me tonight Mr. Black," Professor McGonagall said.

"I look forward to it Minnie," Sirius said cheekily.

"Make that a week's detention Black."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Did you have to do that Padfoot?" Remus asked.

"Why of course Mooney, had to let everyone know that the two biggest enemies of Hogwarts are an item. Now Lindsy, I do believe you owe me a trip to a broom closet," Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Padfoot," James said warningly.

"He's right James I do owe him that, unless you want to break up with Lily," Lindsy said and Lily glared daggers at her.

"Not a chance," James said pulling Lily closer to him. "But that doesn't mean you can take my sister into a broom closet with you."
Lily leaned towards James and whispered in his ear, "Leave them be and we can find a broom closet before class."

James eyes widened and he said, "Padfoot you touch her, I'll kill you with my bare hands. I'm going to class, coming Lily?"

"Yeah, I'll see you in all in class and then later the four of us girls can just hang out in my dorm and talk. Sound like a plan?"
"Yeah, sounds great," Alice said.

Everyone nodded their heads and Lily and James took off to find an unoccupied broom closet.

"What just happened?" Peter asked.

Lindsy rolled her eyes and said, "Weren't you paying attention? I swear, you're so irritating at time. Look I will break it down slowly for you. James. And. Lily. Are. Boyfriend. And. Girlfriend. Was that slow enough for you?"

"So James and Lily are together now, I get that. What I don't get is why they left so fast."

Alice was the first to speak up, "Four words: Lost Time; Broom Closet."

Sirius smiled and said, "Speaking of broom closets, Lindsy care to pay your debt to me?"
"Have a death wish do you Sirius?" Frank asked.

"Prongs wouldn't kill me; the lovely Lindsy wouldn't let her brother kill me?" Sirius said and then added, "Would you?"
Lindsy looked like she was contemplating for a minute before saying, "Depends," Lindsy smiled and added, "Of course not, but I think we should tell these gits sitting at the table with us."

"Are you sure?" Sirius asked looking at Lindsy with a look of concern.

"Tell us what?" Alice asked.

"You all have to promise not to tell James, I'm not ready for him to know yet. I want to tell him when I feel the time is right."
"Oh, Merlin, you and Sirius had a one night stand and now you pregnant. Lindsy we're here for you," Jen said dramatically.

Lindsy rolled her eyes and said, "You're such a drama queen Jen. I'm not pregnant and Sirius and I did NOT have a one night stand, nor have we ever had sex."

"Then tell us already," Alice said.

"Yes tell us the suspense is killing us," Frank said sarcastically which earned him a playful smack in the arm from Alice.

"Well Sirius and I are together."

Peter said, "What do you mean together?"
"Well he's my boyfriend and I'm his girlfriend," Lindsy explained.

Alice excitedly asked, "How long?"

"Promise not to kill us for not telling anyone? We had our reasons or should I say reason?"

"We promise…how long?" Jen asked raising an eyebrow.

"Since the end of fifth year," Sirius said and Lindsy braced herself for the outburst she knew was coming.

"WHAT?" Alice and Jen yelled in unison.

"Shh. Can we talk about this later? We have to get to class. I promise to answer any and all of your questions tonight at the girls meeting as long as James doesn't find out."

"Fine, but you have a lot to answer for," Jen said warningly.

"Well, I would first like to say congats Sirius and second, it was nice knowing you. You have been a good mate, I'll miss you when you're gone," Frank said.

"Come on Peter, Frank, we must go plan Padfoot's funeral," Remus said getting up.

"Open casket or closed?" Peter asked.

"Closed," Frank and Remus chimed.

"Oh would you three stuff it? James is not going to kill Sirius. Beat him up maybe, but not kill him," Lindsy said standing up and pulling Sirius with her.
