This got James confused, "But you look amazing right now?"
"Thank you!" I smiled as I ran a brush through my hair, "Now what did you say about my sister coming soon?"
"Oh, no, I just said that to get you up. Now that you are, we are going out." he grabbed my hand and pulled me out the front door. Once we were walking around town for a while he explained, "Today your sister and mum are doing last minute wedding stuff so we are hanging out."
I laughed at this, "You don't even know your way around this town."
He looked at me as if the answer should be obvious, he pointed at me and said, "Tour guide." With the classic smirk on his handsome face.
I rolled my eyes, "Wipe that smirk away or you are going to end up in an alley all alone."
He laughed, "How does that work when I can just apparate away?"
"Oops," I laughed too, "didn't think about that." all of the sudden I spotted a group of girls, "Oh great," I mumbled, "bitch crew is coming." I then ducked behind James' back, ignoring the confused looks he was giving me.
"Fire-Hydrant?" one of the girls asked using one of my old nicknames that I hated more than Lilykins.
"Um, hi." I said giving a half wave, "This is James." he gave them a wave too and I could already see all of those girls swooning.
"Well, hello." Hannah began getting a little closer to James than I liked, "I'm Hannah. Now, how did Fire-Hydrant get such a good looking friend?" Hannah flipped her long brown hair and made her bright blue eyes bigger.
I waited for James to start flirting back, but he didn't. He actually looked insulted, "Lily? She is so beautiful…" he trailed off, but not in a bad way we just got lost in each other's eyes.
The girls cleared their throats which made us both jump, then James leaned over and whispered loudly, "Who are all these ugly girls?"
They walked away after that and I gave James a hug, never wanting to let go. He hugged me back, "You just keep saving me." I whispered in his ear and gave him a peck on his cheek.
He put his hand to his cheek, "Every time I save you can you do that?" he asked and I couldn't help but let out a giggle, "Because I can save you many more times, you know."
"Let's go," I said dragging him into the closest Starbucks.
He looked around in amazement, "What is this place," he smelled the air, "it smells so good here."
I laughed at his amazement, "It's called Starbucks, have you never heard of it before?"
"Never before had I smelled such a beautiful sent!" he stuck his nose in the air and took in a deeper breathe.
"Um, James." I said getting closer to him, "You haven't even tasted it yet."
"I get to taste it?" he asked excitedly, "Why are we standing around?"
I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the line, "What are you going to want to drink?" I asked him and watched as his eyes widened, "How about I choose for you?" I giggled. I knew he was going to like anything so I got him the same frappuccino as I always got and he was in heaven as we sat in front of the window drinking the coffee.
"Why don't they give this to us at Hogwarts?" James moaned as he took another gulp of the coffee.
I raised an eyebrow at him, "Okay, I get that this is good, but it's not that good."
"Are you kidding?" he let his jaw drop in an dramatic motion, "It's bloody amazing! I could marry this stuff!" he exclaimed.
"Now that's going to be a little creepy!" I laughed with him.
"Let's go out tonight to look at the full moon!" I girl who was passing by us gushed to her boyfriend.
I saw James stiffen when he heard this, I put my hand on his, "He's going to be all right." I comforted, "Peter and Sirius are there for him." he looked up at me shocked that I knew that they were illegal animagus and that Remus was a werewolf.
"You know?" he asked me.
"I found out fourth year," he still looked confused, though I was shocked he didn't remember, "there was a full moon and I wanted to go on a walk, but turns out when a werewolf smells a human he will attack. Then I saw a rat, a dog, and a stag help me. At first I was confused but then I realized that they were animagus. Once they had directed the werewolf far enough away the stag, you, came back and had me get on your back and galloped away."
"How'd you know it was me?" James asked.
"I didn't, but then when I was about to walk into the front door I looked back and you were still there." I let out a laugh, "As cliche as this sounds, your eyes are very distinct."
He let out a chuckle, "I remember that day very clearly, but I never knew you knew it was me."
"After that day those stupid nicknames made sense!"
He winked at me, "Why didn't you tell us you knew? Also why didn't you tell that we are illegal animagus?"
"Well I figured Remus didn't want anyone to know, considering he always lied where he was. There was no way I would intentionally hurt Remus. I didn't tell on you guys because I thought it was really sweet that you would go through that for your friend. James," I put my hand on his again, "you are a really great friend. As much as I hate to say it, I always really wanted to be one of your best friends."
