"Wait, so let me get this straight. You're meeting Remus at the Three Broomsticks to go over Head Boy and Girl stuff?"

"Yeah, so?" Lily shrugged

"I mean couldn't he have just gone over it with whatever it is with you in the common room?"

"I guess he could have, but we can never get much done with the rest of the Marauders there."

"That's true, but I don't know... It just seems a little weird to me..."

"So where are you meeting Sirius?" Lily asked wanting to just change the subject.

"By Honeyduke's." Marlene said after a moment of pause as they enter Hogsmade, "Said he had something to tell me."

"What do you think it's about?"

Marlene shrugged, "Not sure, but I'll find out soon enough won't I?"

Lily nodded and saw Sirius as they got closer to Honeyduke's, "I'll see you later Marls."

"See yeah!" She called as she went over and greeted Sirius before he began to tell her something.

Lily continued on her way and soon arrived at the Three Broomsticks. Opening the door she looked around, but saw no sign of Remus.

'I'm probably just early...' She thought

She walked over and sat at an empty table for two and wait.

About five minutes later the door the pub opened again and a boy walked in. Lily looked expecting to see Remus, but instead saw James Potter walking towards her.

"Hey Lily." James said sitting down in the empty chair across the table.

"Can I help you Potter?"

"Not really, I was just wondering what you're doing here sitting all alone..."

"I'm waiting for-" But then she stopped and thought back to what Marlene had said.

"I mean couldn't he have just gone over it with whatever it is with you in the common room?"

"I guess he could have, but we can never get much done with the rest of the Marauders there."

"That's true, but I don't know... It just seems a little weird to me..."

"Remus isn't coming is he?" She said and narrowed her eyes slightly at him.

He shook his head, "No he's not, so he sent me in his place instead."

"Is that so?"

"It is, so what do you say instead of sitting here we go walk around?"

"Ummm..." She said, part of her wanted to say yes, but instead she said, "As interesting as that offer sounds, I think I'll just-"

"Go back to the castle?" He cut her off, finishing her sentence, "Come on, it doesn't have to be a date or anything. Just hang out for a little bit, it'll be more fun then sitting around by yourself for a few hours."

She looked at him, "I don't know..."

"Please Lily?"

She sighed slightly, but it wasn't reluctant, "Alright, fine."

He smiled at her, "Brilliant,"

The two of them stayed in the Three Broomsticks and ordered a butterbeer each first before going out into the town. At first there was a few moments a silence so James decided to try and make her laugh, since he always some difficultly with that.

"- So then Peter ended up being chased by Peeves through the entire castle. We'd never seen him run so fast. About an hour later we found him in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, hanging from the ceiling by his ankle, and soaking wet."

Lily started laughing, "Poor Peter, he always seems to be on the wrong end of you're pranks."

"It does seem that way." James said grinning at her.

"How is it you always get away with your pranks? I mean you've been doing this stuff for seven years, the teachers know who does them."

"Well of course we do get in trouble from time to time. You know the amount of detentions we've gotten. But we have never done anything that would actually get us expelled. Plus most of our pranks don't break school rules."

"That makes scenes, so you do take the rules into consideration."

"That we do Evans, that we do." He nodded

They continued on their way, looking in the different shops, talking and laughing. James even gave Lily his cloak when he saw that she was cold. As the sun started to set they headed back to the castle.

"Well James, I actually had a great time today." Lily smiled as they entered the school grounds and she went give him back his cloak back.

"Lily, wait." He said, not taking the cloak

"What?" She asked confused.

"Do you trust me?" He asked looking her straight in the eyes, and when she didn't respond asked again, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes of course, but what does that have to do with any-" However she stopped mid-sentence when she looked around and couldn't find him.

"Take my hand." James said popping up behind her.

Lily jumped, "Wha-" Then she noticed that he wasn't actually standing behind her, but more like floating. He was sitting on his broom.

"Take my hand." He said again, "You know Lily, I'm having to repeat myself a lot this evening." He joked.

"James, I'm not much of a flyer..."

"But you won't be flying, I will."

Hesitantly she gave him her hand and he pulled her into the broom. Lily wrapped her arms tightly around his waist when he took off.

"Look down." James said to her once they were leveled

"Aren't you not supposed to look down?"

"That's only if you're falling, and I an assure you that you're not going to fall."

She took a breath and looking down and saw that they were flying over the Black Lake, as the last remaining rays of sunlight guided them along.

"Wow..."

"Lily, I wanted to make you a bet." He said back to her once she was looking up again.

"What's that?"

"I will bet you that I can fly this broom with one hand and my eyes closed."

"Umm... How about we don't test that theory."

"You don't think I can do it?"

"No that's not it-" But she didn't get to finish her sentence because James turned around, gently putting a hand on the side of her face and kissed her.

At first she was in shock, then she kissed him back after a moment.

It was James that broke the kiss and he smile at her and said, "Told you I could do it." Before turning back around so that he could bring them back to the school.
