Lily woke up and saw that James was still sleeping so she nudged him, but all he did was pull her closer to him. Lily silently groaned and nudged him harder, yet he still didn't wake. I thought Lindsy was hard to wake up, but James is impossible; must run in the family. Finally Lily just gave James one big shove and he fell right off the bed.

James jumped up with his wand arm out, no wand in it, and said, "Where are you Lily? I'll save you, just hold still."

Lily laughed and said amusedly, "Potter, you can't save me when you can't even see two inches in front of you or when you don't have a wand," and she grabbed James' hand and put his glasses in it.

James smiled sheepishly as he put his glasses on, "It was the thought that counted?"
Lily smiled and patted the spot next to her signaling him to sit down, "Your right it's the thought that counts," and she kissed him on the cheek before getting up.

"Where are you going?"
"To shower," Lily said simply.

Wiggling his eyebrows suggestively asked, "Can I join you?"

Lily was about to say no but then she got an idea. She walked seductively towards James and kissed him before say, "Sure."

James' eyes went wide and asked, "Really?"

Lily started to walk away and as she did she swayed her hips slightly and said, "If you want to."

James caught up with Lily, who was just about to go into the bathroom. She stopped, turned around and kissed James, and after breaking the kiss she smirked and gave her wand a flick and a bucket of water fell on James.

Lily started laughing at James who just stood their shocked. Finally regaining the ability to speak he said, "Why you little minx. That was good, I'll give you that, but it was mean."

"Sorry, James I couldn't resist…" Lily said before being cut off by James kissing her. He nibbled at her bottom lip and she opened her lips slightly to allow him to slip his tongue inside her mouth. James had Lily pressed against the bathroom door as they snogged; after 15 minutes they broke the kiss because of lack of oxygen.

James rested his forehead on Lily's and said, "I love you."

Lily smiled up at James and said, "I love you too, but I need to shower now."

James pouted and said, "We have an hour and a half before we need to get down to breakfast."
"Well the sooner we get ready the soon we can do other things," Lily said suggestively.

"Well then what are you waiting for?" James asked as he ushered her the rest of the way into the bathroom and shut the door.

Lily chuckled as the bathroom door closed. What a crazy boy. She thought as she undressed and climbed into the shower. If anyone would have told me last year that I would be hurrying through my shower just to spend time with James Potter and snog him, I would have made sure that after I hexed you I checked you into St. Mungo's. I wonder how Lindsy knew I fancied James since first year. There's something she's hiding from us and I want to know what it is. I can't believe her and Sirius have been dating since the end of fifth year. I'm glad I gave James a chance; he really is a good guy. I know I'm not ready to go all the way but I wonder how far James would go with me.

"Lily are you done yet? I have something for you," James yelled through the door.

Lily couldn't help but roll her eyes as she said, "In a minute James. You can be so impatient at times."

"I can be patient. I patiently waited for you to go out with me for six years," James said sweetly putting emphasis on the word patiently.

"Asking me out once an hour for six years doesn't count as being patient," Lily said as she got out of the shower and dried herself off. She put her school clothes on and did a quick drying spell on her hair and then gave it a little fluff. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom she felt a pair of arms go around her waist and a soft kiss was planted on the crook of her neck.

"Love, you smell good," James said as he held her close to him.

"I just took a shower you git," Lily said turning around, kissing him and then pulling away then taking a seat on the couch.

"I have something for you," James said as he walked towards Lily and sat down beside her.

"What is it?" Lily asked looking at him with excitement twinkling in her eyes.

James pulled Lily on his lap and said, "First I want a kiss."
Lily laughed but obliged. She kissed him and then said, "Okay now what is it?"

James laughed and said, "Now who's impatient?"

Lily fake pouted and said, "Not fair your using my words against me."
James laughed and kissed Lily before handing her a dark blue box and said, "This is for you. Keep in mind I've had it since this summer. I bought it so I could give it to as a congratulatory present for getting Head Girl since I knew you would get it, but I figured that since you and I were getting alone so well I wasn't about to risk that. Now that we are together I figure it's safe to give it to you."

Lily took the box and looked at it a second before opening. She stared at it in awe and couldn't say anything. In the box was a beautiful gold necklace with her name on it in cursive. On the beginning tip of the "L" was a ½ carat diamond and on the end of they "Y" was another ½ carat diamond.

James was getting a little bit nervous and asked, "Do you like it?"

"Like it James, I love it. It's beautiful. Wasn't it expensive though?" Lily asked.

James took the necklace and put it on her as he said, "Not really, besides nothing is too expensive for you, Lily. I'm going to spoil you and enjoy doing it, so don't argue."

Lily smiled and said, "James, I love you."

"I love you too, Lily," James said as he gave her a hug.

Lily leaned down and kissed him on the lips. She ran her tongue along his bottom lip until he opened he mouth enough for her to slip her tongue in it. After a few minutes James laid him and Lily down so that they were lying sideways on the couch. Lily's hands were tangled in James' hair. As she moved her fingers James suppressed a groan. He was in heaven, not only was he snogging the girl of his dreams, but she was his. His to spoil, his to love, his to kiss, his to spend time with, and his true love. No one was going to take that away from him. His hands moved up and down her sides and came to rest on her hips briefly before his right hand started traveling lower to her leg where her skirt had rode up. Finding the bare skin he started to move his fingers lightly up and down which earned him a slight moan into the kiss. The kiss they were currently engaged in was full of a passion that neither had ever felt before, they were both on fire. He moved his hand a little further up her skirt and she didn't stop him so he move it further up. When he reached her hip and when she didn't stop him he moved his hand to where he could slip two fingers into her underwear. When he touched her she gasped into the kiss and he smiled. He kept stroking her as she kissed her. Finally he broke the kiss to take a breath; instead of pressing his lips back to her he pressed them to her neck and started to kiss it. Lily was having trouble breathing; what he was doing to her and making her feel was new to her and she quite enjoyed it. He was taking her some place she had never been before. She arched her back and James slipped one finger inside her which made her moan. James stopped kissing her neck and looked up at her to see her a look of ecstasy on her face; and he smiled and then continued his assault on her neck. When another moan passed through her lips he inserted another finger and started massaging her clit with his thumb.

"J…James," Lily gasped as she arched her back even more. James could feel her muscles starting to tighten around his fingers so he pumped his fingers in and out of her faster as he massaged her clit faster. Lily's back arched even more and her eyes rolled back in her head. As she climaxed James pressed his lips back to hers so she didn't scream too loud.

After coming down from her high she looked at James and blushed. James smiled and as he sat up pulled Lily on his lap. How can he make me feel so good with just a touch? I love him. Lily thought and then got an idea. She moved so that she was straddling him, with one leg on each side.

"Lily…" James started to say before being cut off by Lily kissing him hard. Started with his lips and moved to his chin and traced his jaw until she came to his neck where she paid special attention to it. James was getting really turned on as she did this. She slipped her hands under his shirt to feel his muscles before she started to unbutton his pants.

Just as she was about to slip her hand inside his pants they heard, "Prongs, Lilykins, open up it's us."

James groaned and Lily said, "Ignore them."

Lily slipped her hand down to the bulge in his pants and rubbed it a few seconds before starting to slip her hand inside his pants again.

"Come on you two I know your up. Stop snogging and get your arses over here and open the door," Lindsy yelled.

James' eyes were clouded over in lust but he managed to say, "There not going to go away. You should go let them in and I should go take an ice cold shower."

"Are you sure?" Lily asked looking at him questioningly.

"No, but it's the right thing to do. So I'm just going to go take that cold shower now," James said as she kissed her on last time before she got off his lap. She walked towards the portrait opening and James slipped inside the bathroom.

"Well it's about time," Jen said as Lily opened the door.

"Why don't you come in?" Lily asked rolling her eyes. "So why are you guys here so early anyways?"
"We figured we'd walk down to breakfast with you two. Where is James?" Alice asked.

"He's in the shower," Lily said feeling bad about the fact that it had to be a cold shower.

Sirius raised an eyebrow but before he could say anything Frank asked, "A cold one?"
"Hey, I was going to say that," Sirius said.

"Yeah well I beat you too it," Frank said.

"Good morning Lily," Remus said changing the subject.

"Morning, Remus."

"So Lily what took you so long to let us in?" Sirius asked wiggling an eyebrow.

"I was getting dressed," Lily shrugged.

Sirius snorted and was about to say something when Lindsy said, "So James have a nice cold shower?"

"Actually it wasn't a cold shower. Good morning Lily," James said like he hadn't just did what he did with Lily.

"Morning James," Lily said smiling at him as he walked down the stairs.

"Why are you guys here this early?" James asked taking a seat beside Lily.

"Well brother dearest, we figured we could walk down to breakfast together. You know the Marauders and their girlfriends."

Jen looked around and said, "What about Peter, I thought he was coming with us."

Sirius piped in and said, "He said he would meet us down in the Great Hall. Has anyone else noticed he's been acting weird lately?"

"I'm sure he just feels left out, with all of us having girlfriends," Remus said.

"I have an idea," Lily said.

"What is it?" Alice asked.

"Why don't you guys have a guy's night Friday night and us girls can have one too," Lily replied.

James smiled and said, "That's a great idea Lils."

"We could make it like a weekly thing and maybe we could even have it where we all can get together and we will find a girl for Peter," Lindsy suggested.

"That sounds wonderful," Alice said.

"The only question is who goes where," Jen said.

"Why don't you take our dorm James and us girls will go to Gryffindor Tower and then next time us girls will stay here and you guys go to Gryffindor Tower," Lily said.

"That sounds like fun, and as much as I would love to hear about it more, I'm starving," Sirius whined.

"You're always hungry Black," Lily said rolling her eyes and laughing.

"Aw well Evans I can't help it, I'm a growing boy," Sirius said as his stomach growled.

"Come on before Padfoot starves," Remus said grabbing Jen's hand and walking out the door.

"My fair lady may I escort you to breakfast," Sirius said bowing and then offering Lindsy his arm.

Lindsy looked towards James and then took Sirius' arm and said, "But of course good sir, I would be delighted to be escorted to breakfast by you."

Alice rolled her eyes and said, "Can they be any more dramatic?"

Frank took her hand and said, "With those too, I'm sure we haven't seen the beginning of the dramatic acting."

"Come on let's go," James said. "I'm hungry."

James and Lily, and Frank and Alice let the common room and headed down towards the Great Hall. James and Lily had fallen behind Alice and Frank because they were walking slowly just to enjoy each other company when they saw a girl being bullied by two boys.

James and Lily walked up to them and James said, "What do you think your doing?"
"What does it look like?" One boy spat.

"Who are you?" The other one said coldly.

"Well if you would turn around and look you would realize that we are the Head Boy and Head Girl," James replied sternly.

The boys turned around and Lily said, "What are your names?"

"I'm Brandon Chandler and he's Wesley Connor."

"Well Brandon an Wesley, I'm taking 25 points each from your house and you both have detention tomorrow night with Professor McGonagall," Lily said sternly. "I think you two need to go down to breakfast or to your classroom."

"Why do we have detention with Professor McGonagall and not Professor Slughorn our Head of House," Brandon asked.

James was the one to answer as he said, "Because the Head Girl said so, now run alone before I give you more detention."

The two boys mumbled something as they walked away. Lily bent down and helped the girl pick up her books and said, "What's your name?"

The little girl looked surprised, "My name is Nymphadora Tonks, but I hate my name so I have everyone call me Tonks. You're Lily Evans aren't you?"

"Yes I am and this is James Potter. Is your hair naturally pink or is it charmed that color? What year are you in?"
"No I'm a metamorphugus (I think that's how it's spelled, my book is on loan right now so I can't look it up), I can change my appearance to anything I want, and right now I like pink. I'm a first year," Tonks said as she finished picking her books. "Thank you Lily."

"Would you like to walk to breakfast with us?" James asked.

"Sure," Tonks said.

"I see you're in Gryffindor, what do you think so far?" James asked.

"My mum was in Slytherin but she was so glad that I got in Gryffindor. She says that Gryffindor is the better house. I'm only the second person in my family to be sorted into Gryffindor; the rest of them were Slytherins."

"What about your dad?" Lily asked.

"Oh he's a muggle," Tonks said as they entered the Great Hall.

"Your dad's a muggle and your mum was in Slytherin who would have thought?" James asked.

"Whose mum was in Slytherin?" Sirius asked.

"Mine was," Tonks said.

Alice turned around and said sweetly, "Who's this?"

"This is Tonks, a couple of Slytherin boys were picking on her and we helped her," James said.

"Tonks, is that your surname?" Sirius asked.

"Yes, I don't like my first name my mum must have wanted to torture me for putting her through 16 hours of labor."

"What's your mum's name?" Sirius asked. Tonks that name sounds familiar.

"Andromeda Tonks."

Sirius' eyes went wide and he asked, "Your Nymphadora?"

Tonks glared at him and said, "Don't call me that. Call me Tonks."

"Your dad's a muggle isn't he?" Sirius asked.

"Yes why?" Tonks was getting suspicious with all the questions.

"Your mum her maiden name was Black right?" Sirius asked again.

"Yes, why all the questions?" Tonks was getting annoyed.

"Be patient, you act just like your mother," Sirius said. "Does she ever talk about a cousin named Sirius Black?"

"How do you know my mum? Yes she talks about Sirius all the time. How he is her favorite cousin and he was the only one in the family, before me that is, to be sorted into Gryffindor. She hasn't seen him since I was little though and I can't remember him."

Sirius smiled and said, "You've grown since the last time I've seen you and you're a spitfire too, just like your mum and I'm glad you got into Gryffindor."

Tonks couldn't take it anymore, "Who the bloody hell are you?"

Lindsy chuckled and said, "Remind you of anyone we know?"

Everyone except Tonks looked at Lily.

"Tonks, I'm Sirius. I remember when you were just starting to walk and you had black hair too."

"So you're Sirius, I've heard all about you. Wait until I owl mum, she's going to be surprised."

"Make sure you tell her I said hi. Let me introduce you to my friends. You've already met Lily Evans and James Potter, so let's move on to Frank Longbottom, Alice Cade, Remus Lupin, Jen Johnson, Peter Pettigrew and of course the lovely Lindsy Potter," Sirius said as he pointed to everyone.

"Tonks come down here and sit with us," a blonde haired girl said from a few seats down.

"Okay, I'll be down in a minute," Tonks replied.

"If you ever need anything, just come find one of us and we will be sure to help you. Oh and if anyone picks on you again, tell them that you know Sirius Black and/or the Marauders, they should leave you alone then."

It was Lindsy's turn to smirk and say, "And tell them you are friends with the Head Students and they really should leave you alone."

"Thank, well bye, and Sirius I'll be sure to mum you said hi," Tonks said as she made her way down to her friends.

"So that's Andromeda's daughter," James said as he and Lily took a seat.

"She's a spitfire just like her mum," Sirius said.

"May I have you attention please," Dumbledore stood up. "I have an important announcement to make for sixth and seventh years. We have instated a new class it will be two days a week for four weeks. You will be paired up according to what classed you have together. It's a parenting class. Seventh years start today after your last class and will a Monday/Wednesday class, where as the sixth years will start tomorrow and be a Tuesday/Thursday class. That is all, you may go back to eating."

"Well this ought to be interesting," Frank said.

"Sounds like fun," Sirius said sarcastically.

"Would you stop complaining we need to get to class," Lily said and they got up and left for class.
