It was a beautiful day in late January, and James and Lily found themselves outside, walking along the snowy path. Classes had gotten out a mere half hour ago, but Lily and James decided to stay outside together.

The couple was walking hand in hand, enjoying their precious time together, which had not been happening too much. It always seemed that one of their friends had always popped up whenever Lily and James wanted time together, and Lily having such a soft heart, never told them to go away.

"My mum sent an owl to me the other day," James told his girlfriend, "She said that I had better not mess things up with you, or she'll kill me."

Lily smiled at that, she had grown to love Mrs. Potter, even if she was only at the Potters for a few days. "Is that so?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, I swear, that woman likes you better than she likes me," James replied jokingly.

"I wouldn't be surprised."

"What?" James asked, suddenly stopping in his tracks.

"Bloody hell, you are too easy sometimes. I was only kidding," Lily told him, a smile at her lips.

"I knew that," he responded, his eyes and voice full of fake mockery.

"Of course you did," Lily told him, although her face deceived her words. Her smile had grown larger, as if trying not to laugh.

"I did, I was just trying to make you feel better about yourself."

"No you didn't, you liar," Lily teased.

"Okay, whatever, you believe what you want to believe," James kidded.

"Okay, I will," she told him.

"Okay," he simply replied.

As James started to walk again, he felt Lily's hand slip out of his grasp. "Lils, what are you doing?"

"Just tying my shoe lace," she replied. And luckily, her face was hidden from James' view, or else he would have seen a huge grin on her face.

Suddenly, James felt something cold on his cheek. He looked over at Lily, and found that she was laughing hysterically. His hand flew to his cheek, where a snowball had hit him. Without warning, James reached down, grabbed a pile of snow, and launched it at Lily.

As soon as Lily felt the wetness reach her rosy cheek, the smile left her face. "What the hell was that for?"

"You hit me, I hit you," he told her, and suppressed a chuckle.

"You, oh my God," Lily began, but was cut off by another snowball hitting her in the arm.

"Okay, mister, you asked for it," Lily screamed. She ran toward him, and shoved him into the snow.

It really was a quite odd looking scene, there were two seventeen year olds, lying in the snow. James' back was laid flat against the fluffy snow, and James had pulled Lily down with him, so she was on top of him.

James' eyes were sparkling, looking up at Lily's laughing face. She truly looked happy. In fact, James hadn't seen Lily have this much fun since the night at his house, when the couple was playing and splashing in the pond.

All of a sudden, James had rolled over, forcing Lily underneath him. He grabbed some snow, and then gently threw it into her hair.

This made Lily's laughs even stronger, as she tried furiously to get away from him. She pushed at his muscular arms, knowing that she was too weak from laughing to move him. So, instead she closed her fists around some snow, and tossed it into his face.

"Is that how you want to play?" James asked jokingly.

Lily only laughed, and then threw some more snow into his chest. James laughed too, and proceeded to bury her with snow.

They went on like this for some time, James sitting straddled over Lily, while Lily rested in the snow. They were laughing and tossing snow in every direction, most of the time missing their targets.

Once the couple was too exhausted from laughing, James rolled off if his girlfriend, lying next to her in the snow. They were like that for some time, taking in their surroundings, enjoying the peacefulness of each other's company.

James walked into his dormitory, soaking wet from the snowball fight with Lily. All he wanted was to go take a nice, hot shower. Instead, he found Sirius, Remus, and Peter sitting on the beds, discussing what seemed like an important issue.

"Where've you been?" Remus asked, slightly laughing at James' attire.

"Had a snowball fight with Lily," he answered.

"Who won?" Peter asked.

"I did, of course," James replied, a grin on his face. And then he asked, "What are you guys doing?"

"Just trying to think of a way to get Zoë back," Sirius told him, he had a murderous look in his eye.

"What'd she do?" James asked, curiosity overwhelming his desire for a shower.

"I'll tell you what she did," Sirius responded, a bitter tone in his voice. "She thought she could embarrass me in front of those two blondes from Hufflepuff, you know, the slutty ones that stalk me."

"Yeah," James replied, not sure where the story was heading from there.

"Yeah, I swear, I was going to get something tonight, before she ruined it. She went and told them that I was a fucking gay!"

"Sirius, I'm sure they didn't believe it," James assured his friend.

"Yeah, well, they sure weren't interested in doing anything other than talk about fucking clothes with me for the rest of the fucking day," Sirius shouted.

"Padfoot, really, it's just a bunch of slutty girls who are as dumb as rocks," Remus reasoned.

"I don't care, I was going to get some tonight," Sirius growled.

"Padfoot, Moony's right, who cares what they think," James told his friend.

"I care, and I'm going to get that bitch back if it's the last thing I do," Sirius told the Marauders.

"And how, pray tell, are you going to do that?" Remus asked.

Sirius's face lit up with joy after a few moments. "Guys, what is the one thing that Zoë is self-conscious about?"

"Um, her body," Peter answered.

"That's right, Wormtail… So, if I can just get into her room, steal her bra and panties, and then show them to the whole school, she'll be humiliated," Sirius announced. He looked absolutely thrilled at his immature idea.

"Padfoot, not to crush your plans, but how the hell are you planning on getting into her room?" Remus asked.

"Fuck. I forgot about that," Sirius replied grumpily.

"What about the invisibility cloak?" Peter suggested.

"No, we tried that in fifth year," James told his friend.

"Really? When was that?" Peter asked.

"When Prongs was trying to steal Lily's diary," Remus answered, shooting disapproving glares at James.

"What? I needed to know if she really liked me or not," James said, trying to defend himself.

"Okay, as much a lovely story that was, can we get back to my problem now?" Sirius snapped.

"Right, Padfoot, I don't think there's anything you can do," Remus told him.

Sirius's eyes brightened up again, obviously he had an idea. "I have got to be the smartest man alive!"

"What the hell are you talking about?" James asked.

"I've got it! I can't believe I didn't think of it before," he cried out.

"Well, what is it?" Peter asked, he was eager to hear the plan.

"Well, people can't go up there, but animals can," Sirius told the group. He then walked over toward Peter, and placed a hand on his shoulder, "And, Wormtail, the perfect animal to go up there is one so small, like a rat."

"You mean, me?" Peter asked, his eyes full of alarm.

"Sure do," Sirius replied with a smile.

"Oh God," Peter muttered before turning into a rat.

Author's Note 2: Okay, first of all, I have nothing against gay people (Because I had Sirius say 'she said I was a fucking gay,') Sirius was just really mad about that, and I always imagined him as a bit homophobic, I'm not though, so don't get mad (I've got friends that are gay.) Secondly, I hope you liked it, and please review!
