James gently pulled her up and held her waist to steady her from falling.
'Lily again gazed into his eyes. 'Thanks,' she murmured.
'Any time.'

The next morning, James stumbled out into the common room half asleep, smiling to himself about a dream he had last night.
'Hi James.'
What's she doing down here? Hah! Maybe she's finally realised what I've been trying to show her…
'Err… hi Lily! Whatcha doing here instead of going down to breakfast? Ahh… I see, you've finally come to your senses and realized that I am the man for you,' James smiled.
Why do I have the feeling that this conversation once took place but was slightly different? Lily thought.
'I just wanted to say thanks for what happened last night. It was really nice of you to help me up when I fell.'
So the dream wasn't a dream at all…it was real…
Lily got up and walked over to James.
'This is for yesterday.' And Lily looked up and closed eyes.
James was surprised and he also closed his eyes.
Lily tilted her head up...
James tilted his head down...
Lily leaned forward...
James leaned forward...
'OW! OW! OW!'
James jumped back.
'Ow! Ow! Ow!'
'What Lily? What?'
'Ow! My eye! My eye!'
'What about your eye?'
'Ow! My eye!'
'What happened with your eye!'
'Ow! James Potter – ow – you have – ow – bad aim!'
'Huh?'
'Your - ow – long nose – ow – poked me in the eye!'
'My nose?'
'Ow – yes! Your long – ow – nose!'
James laughed loudly and freely.
'James Potter! That – ow – isn't funny!'
James laughed louder. 'Yes -' James gasped for a breath, '- it is!'
After a while of James's laughter and Lily's 'OW!'s they finally settled down and went down to breakfast together. Lily's eye was very red and watery but she was no longer yelling.

Lily greeted her friends sat down next to them at the Gryffindor table and pulled a bowl of porridge over to her.
'Hey Lil.'
'Hi.' Lily gasped after she managed to swallow a spoon of scorching hot porridge down her throat.
'Is something wrong?'
Lily paused and thought for a moment.
'No, why?'
'Your eye is all red.'
'Is it?'
'If it wasn't do you think we wouldn't have brought up the subject?'
'Erm no…'
'So tell us, what happened to your eye?'
'Would I be so confused if I did know?'
'Erm no…'
'Exactly.'
-----
'Haha! Very funny Prongs.' Laughed Remus
'Funny? What do you mean funny? I could have hurt her eye so much that she could have become blind!'
'Does this sound familiar to you Prongs? "Madame Pomfrey can mend things in a tick"'
'Err…yes…where does that come from? Sounds familiar…'
'You.'
'Who me?'
'Yes, you?'
Since when have I said that? thought James. 'Couldn't be!'
'Then who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?'
James, Sirius and Remus turned to face there friend and raised an eyebrow.
'Just a muggle rhyme,' mumbled Peter.
'Right…'

I know what you're all thinking...not another short chapter! I'm really sorry but you see, these are all like, different ideas so they can't exactly be put into one chapter...
Yes, I know…it's short and a bit babyish near the end but hey! I'm still a young author! (not to mention that yes, sometimesI am babyish...)
