The forest was appeared to grow darker with each step forward. His body trembled as he could no longer see in front of him, his body were blind to his eye. All his head heard was the screaming that had brought him so far into the forest. The terrified voice of the girls screams. He couldn't bring himself to turn away, she wasn't that far...
James awoke with sweat soaking his clothes through to his bed. He sat straight up, hitting his head. "Just a dream, that was just a dream!" He muttered to himself. Looking at the clock he swore. It read quarter after eight. He was supposed to meet Lily at the entrance to head for breakfast in five minutes. James jumped up and ran to the bathroom hoping to catch a quick shower to wash his nightmares.

Lily sat in front of her wooden vanity, curling her hair. Today she had awoken twenty minutes before her usual time. Lily smiled to herself thinking of the wonderful sunrise that she caught the end of. Slowly she twisted her wand so her hair fell perfectly onto her back. After another five minutes, Lily was happy with what she had accomplished, grabbed her lipgloss then headed to meet James in their common room.
--
James jumped out of the shower and ran into his room to put his robes on. He quickly looked at himself in the mirror to see if he looked decent, but wished he hadn't since his hair was sticking up in all the wrong places. Trying to desperately to pat it down, he walked out of his room defeated.
"Goodmorning James, don't you look..." Lily looked at her fellow head student. Butterflies filled her stomach as she saw that he was still wet from his shower, with his hair sticking in opposited directions. 'Pull yourself together, Lily!' She told herself. "..wet!"
"Yeah.. I.. umm.. just got out of the shower." James mumbled trying to find his books. "Have you seen my potions book? I thought I left it here last night."
Lily pointed to the pile beside hers. I was up a bit early. Got my stuff together as well as yours. Sorry. Got kinda bored." She blushed.
James smiled. "Thanks a bunch, Flower." He walked up to her kissed the side of her head without thinking. Lily froze a tingly sensation running through her body.
James kept on walking towards the entrance hoping to just walk that off. "Shall we go get some breakfast?"
Lily followed him out of their rooms, trying to push the sensations out of her body. She just needed to get through this year.

Sirius sat across from Kela both appeared to be in a heated argument. "Chellioh! No. That's absurd. Apple is clearly better then blueberry. And I'll prove it! Hey Lilyflower! What's better apple pie or blueberry pie?"
"I like lemon merigune personally." Lily responded smirking. She did not want to get in the middle of one of Kela's and Sirius' arguments.
"James?" Kela asked.
"Uhmm, I'd have to agree with Lily. Lemons are yummy." James sat down beside the red head, whispering in his ear. "It's only eight thirty and already they are arguing about something. They have to get together soon, to use up some of the tension!"
Lily laughed, shoving him away. "James! That's horrible!"
He just shrugged. "It's the truth."
"What's the truth?" Marcy asked sitting across from them.
"Just that Ke.." James began but Lily smacked her hand onto his mouth.
"Nothing. Well something. But not appropriate right now."
James licked the palm of Lily's hand. "Eww gross!"
"It got your hand off my mouth though didn't it?"
Lily glared.
"Sorry!" James cowered away to his plate. "Your the one that put it there."
Lily pretended to ignore him and asked Marcy how she was doing now that just she lived with Kela alone.
"Oh the usual. Her messiness hasn't gotten any better. But not any worse either."
Lily laughed, remembering all the arguments the girls would have about the tideness of the room.

Lily sat in potions doodling on the side of her page. A yawn escaped her as she saw a piece of paper in the place of where her nothes once were:

PAY ATTENTION! Slughorn has been calling on your Sirius for about five minutes! -R
All the friends looked up to see their teacher standing right in front of them looking at the note.
"You guys must be very intelligent to be passing notes around. May I have a look?" Professor Slughorn asked taking the sheet of paper out of James' hands. "Ahh I see. Grapes, marriage and watermelon. A well educated bunch you appear to be." He walked away dropping the paper into the wast basket. "Pay attention or it'll be detention, and I don't want to be putting our heads as well as prefects in detention."
Lily sat up straight kicking James under the table.
"Hey! Oww! What was that for?" He whispered.
"Stop distracting me!"
James smirked. He knew he was getting under Lily's sking. He had never before been able to distract her from anything.

The group of Gryfinndors sat outside by the lake.
"Can you believe that we've already been back for a month. It's October in two days already! That's ridiculous!" Marcy exclaimed as she watched Remus and Peter try to skip stones.
Lily sighed. "Only nine more months."
"Counting already?" Sirius smirked.
"No, more like dreading."
"Come on Lily. Your the smartest witch in our year! You'll do excellent!" Sirius said. "Your amazing."
Lily blushed. Never before had she heard something so nice and sincere come out of that boys mouth. "Thanks Sirius. That means a lot."
James grumbled. He hated when Sirius got the smile, instead of him.
"I'm hungry!" Sirius moaned holding his stomach. "It's been so long since I've eaten."
"Mate, you just had watermelon, chocolate chip cookies, grapes, butterbeer and a piece of pizza. And an hour ago was supper!" Remus said rolling his eyes at one of his best friends.
"Hey! I'm a growing boy! I need my strength." Sirius bellowed.
Lily giggled. "Oh you two sound like an old married couple."
Marcy laughed. "'Cept I think Sirius is a bit to whiny for Remus' taste." Remus pulled her in closer to him. "That's cause I love you." He whispered in her ear, making her face crimson.
James studied Lily as she looked out onto the lake. "Do you know what would be fun?"
"Sleeping?" Sirius asked.
"No. Swimming." James smirked. "In the lake."
Sirius wiggled his eyebrows. "That's a brilliant idea Prongs! I don't know why I hadn't thought of it myself."
The two best friends picked up their corresponding girls that always got under their skin. Kela yelped with fear! "Do you realize how bloody cold that lake is? It's FREEZING!"
Sirius laughed, casting an instantly warm spell over all his friends without the girls noticing. "No it won't. It'll be unbelievable. undyingly cold!"
"AHHHH!! PUT ME DOWN JAMES! IF YOU DARE STEP ANYWHERE NEAR THAT LAKE I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU NEVER SEE THE SUNRISE EVER AGAIN!" Lily screamed as James walked near the edge.
"Oh come on, Flower. You enjoyed being in the water last time with James." Sirius smirked. Both James' and Lily's face turned red.
"That was completely different! THIS WILL BE...." Lily's voice was muffled by the sound of the two boys jumping in the lake with the girls on their backs. "Warm." She sputtered coming to the top. "Oh you devils! You put a warming spell on us."
Kela kicked Sirius. "That was obserd! Don't ever do it again!"
Remus and Marcy walked slowly to the edge. "Are you sure its not cold?" Marcy asked looking skeptic.
"It's warm Marc! Come in!" James yelled.
Remus put his arm around his girlfriend. "Come on! It'll be fun."

Another day of classes commenced. All the students of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry woke up to being their studies, with first enjoying a delicious breakfast made by their favorite house elves.
Up and down the tables everyone was munching away on their favorite, from toast and jam, to bacon, to an egg sandwich. Everyone was slighlty different. This was something that Lily had loved about coming here, the food was always amazing.
She looked up from her plate at the people surrounding her. Today James had placed himself exaclty beside her, with Peter on his other side and Kela beside her. Sirius sat across from Kela with Remus adjacent to her and Marcy beside him. She couldn't be more happy with this. It felt comfortable. The only issue that Lily found herself annoyed with was that of the glares that she had been getting from numerous other girls about the fact that she often sat with James beside her. Never before had she realized just how many girls there were in this school, till she started to sit with the Marauders at her side.
"Strawberry or rasberry?"
Lily was shocked out of her day dream as the question came her way. "Pardon?"
"Strawberry or rasberry?" James asked, slightly laughing at the girl beside him. "Daydreaming were we?"
Lily laughed. "A bit."
"What about?"
"Just. Nothing."
"Oh I know it was something. You had that look in your eyes."
"What look?" Lily asked.
James smirked. "The look of undesiring love. 'Bout me then I take it?"
She snorted. "Get over yourself Potter."
James studied her face as she said this. Now he knew she was just joking since her eyes were still playful. "I keep telling myself that. But it's simply to hard."
"Come on. Class will be starting soon." Lily said getting up, with everyone falling behind them. "Are you scared to graduate James?"
James fumbled with his robes thinking about the question. "Sometimes I am. Mostly of what I might be loosing. What I have right now is amazing. I'm mostly just scared of loosing people. People who I care about."
Lily looked down. "Are you scared about loosing me?"
James did a half smile, stopping her. "Should I be?"
