A/N: Okay, heres the next chapter! There is alot of dialouge between Lily and James. At least I feel as though there is. Anyways, enjoy! Here is where I'd usually say thanks for the reviews of the last chapter, but I didnt get any... D: I feel as though, you guys should know, Im kinda of a review junkie. Which means: I LOVE THEM!(:

The following Saturday, Lily was up with the sun. She skipped to the bathroom and started her shower. Standing under the warm water, she giggled to herself. 'I can't believe I am dating James Potter!' She rolled her eyes, 'And all this time I've been annoyed by him.' Sighing she scrubbed shampoo into her hair, as she rinsed she smiled, and stared to hum a popular muggle song, I wanna dance with somebody. She doused her hair in conditioner, 'I want it too look good!' Grinning, she did a little spin, and slipped on some shampoo still on the bottom of the tub. Shrieking, she went down, fast. She knocked her knee against the side of the tub. And conditioner slide into her eyes. She stood up, and rinsed the conditioner out, but the sting in her eyes, and knee were still there.

Groaning she shut off the water, and wrapped a towel around her body. She, carefully, walked towards the mirror, and frowned at her reflection. 'Great!' She sighed, and flipped her wet hair over her shoulder, 'The time I actually wanna look good, I have red eyes cause of the stinkin' conditioner.' She shook her head, and performed a drying spell on her hair. Once that was done, she put on light eye-liner and blush. Looking in the mirror again, she saw her reflection was a little better. Her eyes were still red, but not as noticeable; she hoped.

Walking back to her dormitory, she smiled. 'Oh well, what's that phrase that American idol is always saying? 'If you can't handle me at my worst, then you don't deserve me at my best?'' Lily nodded, 'Yeah that's it.. I think.' Sighing, she opened her trunk, frowning, she dug through her clothes. 'EMMALINE!' She shouted, and threw a pillow at her best friend, 'Emma! You need to get up now!'

'Wh- wha's the matter?' Her friend sat up, her hair a mess on top of her head. She yawned, and laid back down. 'No, that's not a real magical animal.'

'Huh?' Lily looked at her friend, and laughed. Walking towards her, she smirked. 'Karma is in fact, a wonderful thing!' She thought, before stifling a giggle. Climbing on her friends bed, Lily sat on her, she swung her now dry hair into her friends face, 'EMMALINE! HURRY!' She yelled, in her friends' ear.

'WHAT?!' Emmaline tried to sit up, her eyes wide. 'Merlin, Lily! What are you trying to do? Kill me?' All the yelling had woken the other two girls they shared the dormitory with. Alice and Tasha were both sitting up, rubbing at their eyes. Alice saw what was going on first, and started to laugh.

'No, Em.' Lily smirked, and climbed off her friend, 'Never kill you. Only wake you.'

Emmaline rolled her eyes, but sat up. Yawning, she looked at Lily, 'So what is your big emergency?'

'I- er..' Now that her friends were awake, she realized that it wasn't an emergency at all. 'Er.. well.. you see.. I don't know what to wear to my date with James.'

'What?!' Emmaline asked, her eyes huge. Alice looked at Tasha; the two broke into a fit of giggles, 'You woke me this early.. because you didn't know what to wear? On a date. With.. James.'

Looking at her feet, Lily blushed, 'Uh.. yeah?'

Emmaline shook her head, but got up and crossed to her trunk. 'Okay.. hold on.' She started pulling out clothes, but threw them on the bed almost immediately. One good thing about Emmaline, was that she took her fashion, serious. Lily had never met another girl, in her entire seven years at Hogwarts, who brought as many clothes. 'Here.' She straightened up, and handed Lily a light red, almost pink, colored dress. 'Wear this... with...' Narrowing her eyes, she looked at Alice, 'Can Lil's borrow your white flats?'

'Sure!' Alice jumped out of bed, and started digging underneath her bed. She tossed one of the shoes at Lily, but hand to dig deeper for the other.

'Jeez, Allie.' Tasha shook her head, and yawned, 'How do you even know where your stuff's at?'

'Er..' Alice's voice was distorted, 'Ew! Wha- oh, never mind.' She crawled backwards, with a grin on her face. She handed the other shoe to Lily, and grinned at the blonde girl across the room, 'Pure determination!'

Lily pulled the dress on over her head, and slipped into the shoes. 'Kay! Thanks you guys!' She started walking towards the door, when Emmaline jumped in front of her.

'You're not leaving like that are you?' When all Lily did was blink, Emma grabbed her hand, and pushed onto the bed. 'Sit down, oh MERLIN! Lily, what did you do to your eyes?'

'Um..' Lily cleared her throat, and gave a small, strained smile, 'Conditioner.'

Sighing, Emmaline pursed her lips, 'There's a spell for red-eyes. But I've yet to master it.' She shook her head, 'Well, you best hope it clears before you see James.' Reaching in her night table, Emmaline pulled out a thick piece of white fabric, and started tying it into Lily's hair.

'Is it really that bad?' Lily asked, her voice worried. Tasha and Alice walked to her, and nodded sadly. Lily just sighed, and closed her eyes. 'That's what I get for dancing in the shower.'

James sat on his bed, tying his shoes. He shook his head, and frowned at his friend, 'I don't know Padfoot. Something just feels wrong.'

Sighing, Sirius stood, and opened his trunk, 'Maybe, they just haven't gotten your letter yet.' He gave half a smile, and looked at Remus for help, 'That's happened before.' He pointed out.

'Yeah. But when that happens, Hermes usually just keeps looking for them.' James stood up, and ran his hand through his hair. 'He came back with the letter. Never has that happened.'

Sirius shrugged, and turned away. The Potters were a really close family, and cared for each other, like his didn't. 'I don't know mate, I just don't know.'

Remus looked at his friend, 'Cheer up mate! You've got a date with Lily today!'

James gave a halfhearted smile, and nodded, 'Yeah. I know!' He sighed, and glanced out the window, the sun was about halfway up the sky, and it was bright with no clouds in sight. 'Well, you guys coming?' He asked.

He left the room before them, and Sirius and Remus hung back. Glancing at his friend, Sirius said, 'I don't know how much more I can pretend not to be worried, Moony. I've got a bad feeling.'

Sighing, Remus ran a hand through his shaggy hair, 'Yeah. Me too. But James doesn't need our worry right now. He needs us to be optimistic.'

Sirius just grunted, and followed James out the door.

Standing at the bottom of the stairs, Lily was nervously chewing on her lip. 'What if something came up, and he can't make it?' She asked her friends. Tasha glanced up from the newest copy of Witch Weekly.

'Lil's. It's James. He's like.. in love with you. And has been since.. what? Third year?' She shook her head, and laughed, 'If something came up, he'd let you know. He's probably just running late.'

'I guess.' Lily bit a nail, and glanced up the stairs. She was just about to turn around, when she saw Sirius running down the stairs, with a grin on his face.

'Hey, Lily-Flower!' He pulled her into a hug, 'Waiting for me?'

'Uh..?' Lily quickly hugged him back, and laughed, 'Sorry, but.. no.' She grinned at him, 'Have you seen James?'

'Old Prongsie? Nope, haven't seen him. Hell, I don't even know who you're tal-'

'Oi!' Lily glanced up to see James walking down the step, a smile on his face. 'Padfoot! Get your bloody hands off my woman!'

Sirius laughed and stepped back. Lily was about to say hi, but James pulled her to him, and kissed her. In front of everybody. And Lily let him. Sighing, she closed her eyes, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

James smiled against her mouth, and held her close for a moment. Pulling back he looked in her eyes, 'Sorry I'm late, love.'

Lily blushed, but smiled back. Staring into his eyes, she frowned, 'James? What's the matter?'

'Uh..' He stepped back, and ran a hand through his hair. 'Nothing.' Smiling he grabbed her hand, 'Ready to go, Lily-bean?' Lily rolled her eyes, but smiled and nodded.

x-X-x

James and Lily shared a carriage with Sirius, Emmaline, and Tasha. Their fingers were intertwined, and they were just staring at each other. 'Are you guys just gonna sit there, not talking?' Sirius asked, leaning forward.

James glanced at his friend, and smirked, 'Don't be hating, cause you haven't got someone to stare at.'

'Ha!' Sirius sat back, and looked at Emmaline, 'Mind if I stare at you?' He asked, his eyes twinkling, a smirk on his face.

'Ew. Please. Don't.' Emmaline laughed, and looked out the window; missing the frown on Sirius' face.

Looking at James, Lily raised her eyebrows, but James just shook his head. Shrugging, Lily scooted closer to him, her thigh resting against his. Biting her lip, she looked up at him, 'what are we gonna do today?'

'Huh?' James asked, his eyes clouded. He had been staring out the window, 'Oh. Today. Uh..' He dragged a hand through his hair, 'Whatever you wanna do.'

Frowning, Lily nodded, and turned to look out her window. James sighed, and laid his head back, 'Get it together, mate!' He said, to himself, 'This is your first date with Lily. Lily Evans. And you guys are officially dating now. Do not blow it!' He sighed, and nudged her with his elbow, 'Hey.'

Turning to look at him, Lily gave a small smile, 'Hey.'

James grinned, and kissed her forehead, 'Sorry. I'm just a little distracted today.'

'It's okay.' Lily bit her lip, and looked at him, 'Do you wanna.. talk about it?' She asked, scrunching her nose.

'Uh..' James tilted his head, 'Yeah. Just.. not now.' He glanced at their friends, who were laughing and joking about. 'Later?'

'Okay.' Lily leaned into him and smiled.

x-X-x

The couple walked through Hogsmeade with no real destination in mind; just enjoying being together. James grabbed Lily's hand, and linked his fingers with hers. Sighing, Lily leaned her head against his shoulder. 'I wish I would've known sooner that you were such a.. prat!?' She said, on a sigh.

'You thought I was a prat?' James asked, bringing his hand to his heart, he played offended.

Giggling, Lily just shrugged. 'Kind of. I mean you did ask me out every day, pretty much, since we were third years!'

James grinned, 'I thought that would flatter you!'

'At first it did.' Lily laughed, and shook her head, 'But after a while, it just got really, really, annoying.' She grinned at him, 'Did you know, that because of you, no boy would ask me out. There seemed to be a rumor that any boy who tried, would be at the receiving end of you and your friends.'

James just grinned, and shrugged. 'What can I say, I have sharing issues!'

'But I wasn't yours too share!' Lily pointed out, with a laugh.

'Maybe not to you; but in my mind, you've been mine since we were four-teen.' James smiled, and ran his hand through his hair, 'And now you are. Right?'

'I suppose.' Lily bit her lip, to keep from smiling, and started to walk off.

'Wait.. what?' James ran to keep up with her, 'What do you mean? We're dating.. right?'

Grinning, Lily laid her hands on his chest, 'Of course we are!'

'Good.' Grabbing both her hands, James brought them up to his lips, 'I don't plan on sharing you, hope your cool with that.'

'Hmm..' Lily pretended to think about it, tilting her head to the side, she grinned, 'I'm one hundred percent cool with that.'

'Cool.' James smiled at her, and then frowned, 'Lil's. What's the matter with your eye?'

x-X-x

The couple sat in front of the shrieking shack, neither scared of its 'history'. James laid on his back, and was staring at the clouds, while Lily sat with her knees pulled to her chest, her arms wrapped around them. Licking her lips, she looked at the boy next to her, 'They haven't gotten ahold of you since?'

Shaking his head, James sighed, 'No. And I'm worried about them. Which I know isn't real cool. A kid concerned with his parents..' He lifted a hand in the air, and waved it around, 'But, I am.'

Smiling, Lily nudged him with her toe, 'I get you though.' She said simply.

'You do?' James sat up, and crossed his legs.

'Yeah. My mum writes so many letters, it can get a bit ridiculous.' Shrugging her shoulders, Lily looked at the shack behind her, 'But honestly, if it goes more than one week with me hearing from her, I get worried. I love my family.'

Smiling, James looked at the red-head beside him. Her green eyes sparkling, and her hair shining in the sunlight, 'Do you have any siblings?'

Lily looked at the ground, the light in her eyes dimming. 'Yeah. I have one sister.'

'What's her name?' James asked.

'Petunia.'

James raised a brow at the tone in her voice, 'I take you guys aren't close?'

Lily looked at him, and sighed, 'Do you really want to know?'

'Lil's. I want to know everything there is to know about you.' James pushed his hair out of his eyes, and looked at her. He had a smile on his face, and leaned forward, pressing his lips to hers, he said, 'I'm interested in everything about you.'

Lily smiled against his mouth, and sighed, 'Kay.' Biting her lip, she leaned back. She licked her lips and looked at him, 'So.. Sev is in this story. You still sure you want to hear it?'

Curling his lip, James nodded. 'Okay. So, when I was a little girl me and my sister were the best of friends. I mean, we're only like.. a year apart.' Lily looked at the sky, 'We were as close as sisters could be. When I turned.. seven I think it was, I did my first bit of magic!' She rolled her eyes, and looked at James, 'When me and Tuni told mum and dad about it, they thought we had 'incredible imaginations.' HA!' She grinned, 'I turned our cat into a lampshade.'

James laughed, and looked at her. Hey eyes looked far away, and she was grinning, carefree. 'Then what happened?'

'Well my parents are very practical, so they needed proof.' Lily shook her head, 'So me and Tuni went searching for our kitty. Turns out my sever-year old magic wasn't complete, and the poor cat still had legs. So here's this random lamp shade just running around our sitting room, running into things.' She laughed, 'When we finally caught it, and took it out back to show my parents, my mum fainted, and my dad laughed. He thought it was a wind-up toy.'

Grinning James, leaned back on his hands, 'Your dad sounds fun.'

Rolling her eyes, 'I doubt Tiny, the cat, thought so. My dad's turning it around, and around in his hands looking for a twisting thing!'

'How'd you prove you did it?'

'I didn't somebody from the ministry showed up, and fixed it. Then they wiped my parent's memories. They said me and Tuni were young enough, we'd forget. And when I turned eleven, I'd understand what was going on.'

'But you never forgot?'

'Nope. I don't think Petunia did either. And I know Tiny didn't, he wouldn't come around me anymore after that.' Lily shook her head, and shrugged, 'Well, that started it. But Tuni couldn't figure out why I could do 'fun' things, and she couldn't.' Lily frowned, and played with a patch of grass. 'The summer after I tuned ten, it was beginning of June, we were the park, just playing around. I took a flower, and was making it open and close its petals. That was the day I first met Sev.'

She sighed, and looked at James, 'He had been spying on us. Watching us play. He called Tuni a muggle, which she is. But the way he said it..' Lily trailed off and shrugged, 'Well, obviously we didn't know what it meant, but knew the way he was saying it wasn't nice. Then he called me a witch. Which, I took offense too.'

'Of course you did. You were ten. And living in the muggle community, where being a witch isn't cool.' Lily smiled at him, thankful he understood.

'Anyways from there out, every time we went to the park, Sev was there. After a couple visits he showed me he could do the same thing. I was interested in what he had to show me, and say. So we started hanging out with him.' She paused, and bit her lip, 'When I finally got my Hogwarts letter, I was so excited! I mean, the strange kid from around the block wasn't lying.' Sighing, she said, 'My parents were proud of me. Just like parents should be; you know?' Frowning, she looked at James, 'Well, Tuni wanted a letter as well. So I guess she wrote Professor Dumbledore.'

'You can do that?' James asked, 'I didn't know a muggle could contact Hogwarts.'

Lily shrugged, 'I don't know. He replied, but I don't know what he said. Tuni never told me.' She gave a weak smile, 'September first, my first year, my parents and Tuni dropped me off at Kings Cross. Me and Tuni got into a fight. She called me a freak.' James rolled his eyes, 'I don't know. Nothing has been the same since then.'

James scooted towards her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, kissing her forehead, he laughed, 'Well.. at least you're a cute freak!'

Laughing, Lily pushed him away. She sighed and looked at him, 'What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?'

Grinning, James looked at her, 'I've three brothers. Sirius, Remus and Peter.'

Lily rolled her eyes, 'Obviously.' Standing up, Lily brushed off her bottom, and held a hand out to James, 'Come on. I'm hungry.'

'Do we have to go back yet?' He looked at her hand, and then grinned up at her.

'Yup! I am hungry!'

Reaching up, James grabbed her hand, and in a quick motion pulled her down on top of him. Rolling over, Lily was on her back, with him on top. Leaning down, he smiled, 'I'm hungry too. But I think it can wait.'

'For what?' she whispered, licking her lips.

'Until after I kiss you.'
