Chapter 10

The first two weeks passed quickly. The workload was already high and the seventh years were really feeling the pressure.

Sitting at the table in her common room, Lily was working on yet another essay that Professor McGonagall had set the class. She wished she could be doing charms or potions, which were her favourite classes, instead of the class she just couldn't seem to get the knack off. It wasn't that she was bad at transfiguration; it was more that she wasn't as strong with it as the others.

Looking down at her parchment, Lily realised she would have to rewrite the essay when she eventually finished it. Across the entire page were scribbles and arrows leading to different places and tiny writing where she had replaced words. It would be impossible for anyone to understand anything. Let alone to actually mark it.

Sighing, she leant back over and continued her work. Flicking between her piece of parchment and her textbook, it wasn't long before she was scratching out yet more lines that she had just written.

"I'm so over this!" Lily exclaimed as she dropped her quill and leant back in the seat, "I'm never going to get this done."

"Sure you will."

Jumping at the sound of someone behind her, Lily spun quickly.

"Wha- Crap Potter. You scared the shit out of me," she managed to stammer out.

Standing in the doorway, James had just returned from Quidditch practice. Leaning against the wall, he was wearing dark blue jeans and a white top that fitted well on him. His messy hair was gleaming with water and his arms were folded across his body showing his muscles. Lily couldn't help but stare at him.

"See something you like Evans?" James smirked.

"Huh? What?" she responded, confused. Then realising what he had said to her she quickly continued, "No! Stop being so full of yourself Potter."

"You were the one staring at me."

"I wasn't staring!" Lily stubbornly told him as she felt the blood rush to her face, "I turned to look at you since you had spoken and scared me since I thought I was alone."

"Sure whatever you say. So what are you actually having trouble with?"

Lily who was glaring at James to hide her embarrassment turned to the parchment on the table in front of her.

"It's the transfiguration essay. The one about changing the different stuff in animals, like rabbits and dogs, and where people can go wrong with the transformations. Which, by the way would be whatever I'm doing. I just don't know where I'm going wrong."

"Well if you want, I can try and help you?" James asked her.

"Really?"

"Yeah, sure. Just give me a second and I'll give you a hand. Then we can head down to dinner after."

With that James moved into his room, while Lily cleared the area around her to make room for James.

~~~/~~~

Alice was sitting with Marlene and the other Marauders in the Gryffindor common room working on some DADA.

"Hey Alice, do you want to take a break and come for a walk with me around the lake?"

Turning to the voice, it was Frank. Giving him a small smile she responded, "Of course I would."

She stood to start packing up her stuff when Marlene stopped her.

"I'll pack it up for you. Just go."

Nodding at her friend she took the hand that Frank had held out for her and together they walked out of the portrait hole.

Hand in hand, Alice and Frank walked through the corridors out to the ground. Alice knew it was going to be fresh outside. It wasn't exactly winter yet, but it had started to cool outside the past few days.

As they walked along both were silent, lost in their own thought. Since just before the year had begun Frank had been distant. Sure they still spent time together, but as her friends had put it, they were no longer attached at the hip.

He must be breaking up with me, she thought.

Yet she really didn't want that. The truth was Alice was in love with Frank. Though she hadn't told him yet. Those words meant a lot to her. To love someone and to be in love with someone was completely different in Alice's mind. She had never been brave enough to tell him how she really felt and now it was going to be too late.

When they reached the lake, the two sat against the tree, Alice wrapped in Franks arms.

"I'm sorry," he told her quietly.

"What for?" Alice asked gently. This is it. He is breaking up with me.

"For being so distant."

He pulled her around so that he was looking directly into her eyes.

"Alice Prewitt, I am without a doubt, completely in love with you and I'm sorry for acting like a jerk. Before you say anything I need to explain," he said, not allowing himself to be interrupted.

"I was scared you might not feel the same, so I wasn't brave enough to tell you. Great Gryffindor I am, no courage or bravery there. But I decided to give you space. I was too nervous around you, it was exactly like when I liked you but couldn't tell you because I was scared you didn't like me back. Except this meant so much more, because being in love means so much more. So there you go. I love you. No I am in love with you."

As Frank said all this, the smile on Alice's face grew. She leant forward slowly and kissed him on the lips softly. Pulling back only a little bit to stare into his brown eyes, she told him slowly, "and I am without a doubt in love with you. I have been for a bit, but I was giving you space!"

Then she playfully slapped him on the chest.

"What was that for?"

"For making me think you were just about to break up with me!"

"But. Oh-"

However Frank never got to finish what he was saying. Alice had leant back in putting her lips to his. The kiss had started slow, but it deepened, both able to share how they felt. Though cold out, the two remained against the tree holding onto one another until they returned to the castle for dinner.

~~~/~~~

As Lily waited for James to return her mind wondered to him and how he had been since their return to Hogwarts.

James had been a lot different in the first couple of weeks. Although Lily had begun to notice the change at the end of last year, with him being head boy it was even more obvious. Lily could see how responsible he actually was and how seriously he took his position as head boy. Together each night they would patrol the corridors. Sometimes it would be in complete silence and other times it would be idle talks. When it was complete silence it was never awkward. There would be times when they would brush up against one another and Lily would feel her arm tingle from the contact. She would always ignore it, or tell herself it was nothing. Refusing to believe anything else.

Then when they spoke, Lily realised she was getting to know the real James. They spoke about their families, their hobbies, just everything and anything.

She saw how caring he was and how loyal he was to his friends. Though she had already known that second part. She saw how he would always stand up for any of the other marauders. Plus, she herself had experienced it during that day in Diagon Alley.

One other thing that Lily could not deny was how good looking James actually was. His messy hair and brown eyes were one thing, but all those years of quidditch had done wonders for his muscles. Yes, she had noticed it over the past few years but it was something she would never, ever, admit. His head would inflate if he were to ever find out. Sharing a common room with only him was making it hard to cover up if she was caught staring, which seemed to be happening a lot more these days.

The other day he had walked out of his room, while Lily was on the couch reading, without a shirt on. Lily couldn't help but not look at him. Even his messy hair was working for him, making Lily want to run her hand through it.

"Uh, Lily? Anyone there?"

Looking to her right, James was there with all his school stuff out. She had been deep in her thoughts she hadn't even noticed him.

"Sorry," she said sheepishly, "I was lost in my thoughts then."

"No, really? I would never have guessed," James told her sarcastically.

"Shut it, Potter," Lily rolled her eyes at him, knowing he was only joking around.

"You okay though?" he removed his joking around and asked her seriously.

"Yeah."

"Mm okay. Well if you need to talk, you can talk with me."

"Umm thanks Potter, that means a lot, but I'm seriously fine," she really didn't need to tell him she was lost in thoughts about him.

"Okay that's cool, well if you need... So what can I do to help?"

"It's this stupid essay. Well, not even that. I can't do it anyway. So trying to write an essay about something when I can't do it is just impossible!"

"Woah, just calm down. How about I help you with the magic part and then you can see if you can write the essay later."

"Yeah that sounds good. Thanks."

"Right," he said as he began to move and clear the small table near the couches.

"Alright, show me what you can do," he told her.

Pointing her wand at the table, Lily said softly but strongly, "Canius,"
moving her wand in the way they had been taught.

As she said this, the table became covered in long black fur. Small paws had been formed at the bottom of the legs, which were stretching themselves out. However the full transformation didn't take place.

James started cracking up laughing, at the sight that lay in front of him.

"That is seriously the weirdest thing I have ever seen!"

Lily could help but not laugh too. Slapping him playfully on the arm she said, "See! This is why I need help!"

Mumbling an incantation that Lily couldn't hear, James flicked his wand and the furry table became itself once again.

Trying not to start laughing again, James turned to Lily and told her, "You're pronouncing the incantation correctly, but from what I just saw, I think your timing is out with your voice and wand movements. Similar to charms, these are important."

"Umm okay," Lily said unsurely.

"Trust me. It's not hard. Here. Watch me."

Waiting to make sure Lily was watching, he cast the spell. The table immediately transformed into a bounding fluffy dog which moved to sit in front of James with its tail wagging.

"Ah it's so cute!" Lily laughed as she started to pat the dog. "I wish I could do this," she said wistfully.

"Well that's why we're here right?"

Beaming up at James, "Right. My turn again."

Once the dog was reversed back into the table Lily tried the spell again. The exact same thing happened except this time the table also grew ears.

"Oh come on!" Lily exclaimed as they both started laughing again.

"I swear this will never work!" she said with a hint of disappointment that she tried to cover up with laughter. James saw right through the facade, and stopped laughing.

"It will. Okay," he told her.

"No it won't. I'm no good at this."

"Lily Evans, you are the brightest witch in our year level. Don't ever say that you are no good."

"But -"

"No buts!"

"Too bad there will be a but. I mean I'm just a muggle born right."

James couldn't believe what he just heard. It actually hurt him hearing Lily put herself down because of her blood status.

He moved right next to her, taking hold of her shoulders spinning her to face him. Their bodies were so close, touching one another. Each could feel the other taking a breath.

"Lily, look at me."

She wouldn't. Instead she moved her head down to look at the ground, hiding the tears that had begun to form in her eyes.

"Lily, please look at me."

Shaking her head she continued to look down. The tears had begun to roll slowly down her face, and she didn't want James to see them.

Instead of waiting for her or asking again, James gently moved his right hand to her chin, lifting it up so that he could see her face. Looking into her green eyes, he gently wiped a tear away from her face with his thumb.

"Lily. Don't ever put yourself down because of your blood status. Not ever. You are so capable and so much better that the 'pure bloods'."

Instead of replying, Lily put her forehead against his chest and remained silent. In response to this, James wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tighter to him. He didn't like seeing her like this.

After a moment of standing in that position, James moved away. He wanted to do something that would make her happy.

"Okay, let's try this again. Here stand here," he said as he pulled her to stand in front of him, with her back right up against him.

As she stood where she was she felt her cheeks heat up. The next moment she felt his arms go around her. /Oh my god,/ she thought. She could even feel his muscle against her. His hand grabbed her hand that was holding her wand.

"Okay this is the movement," he said into her ear as he moved their hands in the correct way for the spell.

"On the count of three. One...Two...Three!"

When James said three, Lily cast the spell. In front of them both a black furry dog was running around.

"I did it!"

"Told you that you could!"

"Thank you James."

She just said James She actually said my name! It sounded so nice from her lips, he exclaimed in his head.

"You're welcome."

"No I mean it. For everything."

"I know. I meant every word."

Giving him a small smile, she sat down on the couch as James transformed the dog back into the table.

"You know, I think I'm done with work for now. I'll do more tonight before we do patrols," Lily told James as she sat down.

He sat down next to her. He didn't want to leave her and he wanted to make her smile and laugh. Dinner wasn't too far away and he knew she wouldn't really want to go down if she thought it had been obvious she was upset. So instead of doing his homework, James decided to keep Lily some company.

~~~/~~~

Together, James and Lily walked downstairs to the Great Hall for dinner. When they arrived they found all their friends, except for Alice, sitting together.

"Hey, where's Alice?" Lily asked as she sat down with James beside her.

"Hey you two," Marlene responded, "She and Frank went out to talk earlier and haven't returned."

It was as she was finishing telling Lily, she looked properly at her friend, "Lil?"

With a slight shake of her friend's head, Marlene dropped it. Just by looking at Lily she knew something had happened. It wasn't obvious to anyone else but Marlene knew Lily too well.

With the raise of Marlene's eyebrow, Lily mouthed to her, "Later."

James watched the exchange between the two friends. He knew that when Lily told her friends exactly what she said, they would react the exact same way he did.

"So where were you two?" Sirius asked them to break the short silence.

James saw that Sirius too had watched the exchange between Lily and Marlene. As had Remus. It was just Peter who was completely oblivious.

However before either James or Lily could respond, Alice and Frank joined them, both grinning and holding hands.

"Well it's about time you two fixed whatever was going on!" Sirius told them.

"Yeah I agree," Frank said giving Alive a kiss on her cheek, "I was being a complete idiot."

"That you were," Alice laughed, judging him with her elbow.

Smiling at their friends, the rest turned to continue what they had been talking about.

"So, where were you two?" Remus asked James and Lily again.

James had to respond as Lily had just put food into her mouth.

"I was helping Lily with transfiguration."

The corners of James lips pulled that small bit up at his friends reactions to him calling Lily by her name instead of Evans. All of their eyes darted to her face to see her reaction, but she was peacefully eating.

James too had been worried about calling her Lily, but wanted to try anyway. He knew it was the seriousness of their conversation that had brought out the first names, but now that they had both said them he didn't want to go back.

The chatter continued while all of them ate. Alice and Frank were being sickly sweet towards one another, Marlene and Sirius were in an argument of some sort and Lily had remained quiet.

"Hey James?" she asked softly, "Can you please pass me that plate there," she point at the plate she meant.

"Sure," he leant and grabbed the plate to give it to her.

When he looked back at his friends they had all gone silent once more and were staring at the two of them.

"What?" Lily asked.

"You just called James, James!" Marlene exclaimed.

Smiling, Lily said, "That is his name isn't it?"

"Well duh! But you never call him James and he never calls you Lily, but he did earlier and you didn't even react!"

By this time Lily was laughing at her friend. She found it quite funny that one of her best friends was making such a big deal out of it.

"Lily!" Marlene whined, "it's not funny!"

Looking at her two friends, Lily who was laughing at her and Alice who had finally fixed whatever was going on between her and Frank, Marlene decided it was time for a serious girl talk.

Standing and moving to pull each of her friends from their seats she told the boys, "We have to go for a bit. See you losers later," before dragging her friends out of the Great Hall.

From behind them she heard Remus' voice calling, "Alice don't forget we have duty later!" Followed by James calling out, "You too Lily!"

Looking at her friends Marlene saw the smile on Lily's face as she heard James call out behind her. There is definitely something going on there, she thought.

Ignoring the protests from both Lily and Alice, Marlene dragged them to Lily and James' room, made Lily open the door and then pulled them into Lily's room and onto the bed. Both Alice and Lily knew where this was going.

"Okay, spill! Girl talk time!" Marlene told them, looking at them both expectantly.

Knowing Lily wouldn't say anything, Alice laughed, "Okay, okay! I'll go first!"

Both her friends looked at her waiting for her to tell them whatever had happened.

"Frank told me he loved me!"

"AHHH! ARE YOU SERIOUS! THAT IS AMAZING!" Both Lily and Marlene squealed at the same time.

"I know, I know!" Alice joyfully said as she began to bounce up and down, "I finally got to tell him how I really feel. I swear I thought he was about to break up with me!"

"So why was he acting to strange then the last couple of weeks?" Lily asked.

"He said he was worried that I might not feel the same way, and that to him saying those words mean a lot. And it wasn't just a 'I love you' it was 'I am in love with you."

"Aww, you two are absolutely perfect for one another!" Marlene cooed, both her and Lily understanding the distinction between the two.

"So tell us word for word what he said," Lily insisted.

So she did. Alice described how it was silent walking together and how she was freaked he was going to break up with her before she could really tell him how she felt. She told them what he said. Together the girls, laughed, squealed and cooed at the relationship.

That was until Alice turned to Lily and said, "It's your turn now."

Lily rolled her eyes, "Eurgh, damn it, I thought you guys had forgotten!"

"Forgotten? No way! This is a momentous occasion!"

"And how is that?"

"Oh I don't know. Let's see. First, you actually are getting on lately. Second, you have barely complained about him being head boy alongside you. And three, YOU CALLED HIM JAMES! Do you realise how awesome this is! My two best friends from different groups finally getting along!"

"Calm down Mar! It's not that big of a deal."

"Actually, it kind of is Lils," Alice cut off Marlene, "since first year you have been so stubborn. It's changed though now. Even at the end of last year, after the whole Snape thing, when you guys were getting along it was still Potter and Evans. Now all of a sudden we hear him call you Lily and you call him James."

"Okay, okay," Marlene began, gesturing that she was calm, "When you came down to dinner something had happened. You had covered it pretty well but I know you too well and you told me you would tell me later"

"Huh, what are you two talking about?" Alice asked confused, as she hadn't been there.

Looking between her friends, she knew that she would have to tell them what she had said about herself to James. There would be nothing else that she could say to cover why she had been upset. This meant she was going to get a reaction exactly like James'.

"Well, when James said he was helping me before with transfiguration that's the truth. I was having a lot of difficulty, and I mean sure it was hilarious seeing the things that I was creating but it was really disappointing because I wasn't doing it right."

"Lils, you hold yourself too high. You expect too much of yourself," Alice said softly.

"But I have to!"

"No you don't Lils!" Marlene exclaimed.

"Guys, we're getting off topic here," Alice stated.

"Well actually, we're not really," Lily continued, "I may or may have not have brought up being a muggle born."

"Lily!" her friends exclaimed.

"Being muggle born doesn't mean anything! You are the best in our year level! This is why you were just saying that stuff about high expectations. Isn't it?" Marlene questioned her.

Lily couldn't lie to her friends, but she couldn't admit it to them out loud. Instead she remained silent. This however was as much of an answer that her friends needed.

"Oh Lily," Alice said before pulling her into a hug.

Marlene, feeling left out of the hug wrapped her arms around both of her friends.

Feeling Lily shake beneath her, Marlene softly moved her hair away from Lily's face.

"Lily Evans, you listen to me and you listen carefully," Marlene said softly but firmly.

"Blood status does not matter. You are so amazing. You are bright and incredible, and you don't need to prove yourself. Especially not to anyone else. Who cares about those idiots who believe that it matters. You are so much better than so many of the 'pure bloods.' I never want to hear you putting yourself down, just because you grew up as a muggle."

Sniffling, Lily looked up at her friends and wiped her eyes, "I'm sorry guys. I'm such a mess."

"Hey, don't be like that," Alice said nudging her softly.

They sat in silence, holding on to one another. At least until Marlene decided that the serious mood was over by poking Lily.

"Oi Mar!" Lily squealed.

Alice laughing at Lily's reaction poked her from the other side.

"Ah! Oh come on!"

Lily in return started tickling her friends back. In the end it resulted in the three girls crying of laughter.

~~~/~~~

Walking along the corridors all Lily could hear was hers' and James' footsteps echoing around them. Their duty that night had been relatively quiet, only once meeting up with Sirius with some girl who Lily didn't know the name of. Seeing them, she had rolled her eyes and told them to go back to their dorms.

Her and James had kept up conversation for the first half of their duty, talking about anything other than what had happened earlier.

Yet since they had stopped talking, Lily could tell that James wanted to ask her something. He kept going to but then would change his mind.

Sighing, Lily asked, "What is it James?"

"Huh, what is what?"

"Well you've been wanting to ask l me something for at least the last 15 minutes."

"Oh. Have I been that obvious?"

"Uh yeah," she smirked at home.

"Okay, well I'm just wondering if you told Mar and Alice about our conversation. I saw at dinner you said you would tell Mar later. Since she figured you had been upset."

"Mm yeah, I did. They didn't really take it too well."

"Oh I'm sure their reactions were extreme. Especially Mar's"

"You have no idea."

James laughed, causing Lily to look up at him curiously.

"Well, you should have heard all the lectures that I've received from her growing up."

Realizing of course that she probably had nothing on James with Marlene's lectures, she laughed with him.

"What I said before, and most likely what Mar said before is one hundred percent true. Don't define yourself by your parentage. You are so much better than you realise," James told her seriously.

Not really knowing what to say, she looked up him and found herself looking in his eyes, "Thank you James."

They fell into silence once more.

As they started to head back towards their common room, James interrupted the silence, "Hey Lily?"

"Yeah?"

"Tomorrow night, I promised the guys that I would stay with them. It's something we do monthly. And, well I was just wondering if you didn't have an issue, well if I could miss out on patrol? I swear if you want the next night I'll patrol by myself," James rambled.

Lily thought as he asked her. It was an odd request but honestly she didn't mind at all. He had been so good to her during the day, and didn't want to mess anything up.

"Calm down James. You can stop. I don't mind at all. Seriously."

"Really? Thanks Lily!"

By this time they had arrived back at their common room.

"I'm really tired. I'm just going to head to bed," Lily told James.

"Sure," he said smiling at her, "Goodnight Lily."

Butterflies filled her stomach when he said her name. They had every time he had said it since earlier in the evening. She had been trying to ignore them, but each time she found it really hard to.

"Night James," she said before heading into her room.

As she lied in bed trying to get to sleep, Lily's mind kept wandering to James and in particular the intensity of the words he had spoken to her and when he had held her close to his body. She had felt the heat coming off his body, and every deep breath that he took. His scent of the forest and honey intoxicated her. But most of all, when his arms had wrapped around her and pulled her in close, Lily felt safe. As if nothing could hurt her. With that, she drifted off to sleep.

~~~/~~~

"See you tomorrow Lils!" James called out as he left to go meet his friends.

They had returned from dinner and Lily was setting up her schoolwork on the table while she waited for Alice and Marlene. Since James would be gone they thought it better to use the heads common room instead of being in the library or Gryffindor common room. Plus Lily had plenty of time before she had to patrol the corridors.

That was the one thing she hated about being head girl. She had to do the last patrol of the night, when really all she wanted to do was curl up in a warm place and read. At least most people were back in their common rooms and she didn't have to deal with much. Sometimes there would be people in a classroom or a broom closest, but she would let James handle them.

Hearing the knock on the door, Lily got up to let them in, "Hey guys!"

"Hey! You know it still is really weird without you in our room. The others are even more annoying." Marlene told Lily.

She was talking about Alana Gold and Elaine Johnson. Though being in the same year and spent the last six years in the same dorm, they didn't get along with one another. Mary Patterson was on mutual terms with both groups.

"I'm sure you're just making that up."

"Trust me Lily, she isn't," Alice told her.

"Well then come hang out here more!"

"Oh trust me, we will. But we still have to share a dorm with them. Mary is the only one from keeping it from turning into an all our war," Marlene sighed.

"But that's barely any time at all! Of course she is, she's the only sane one in there now," Lily joked, "Come on, let's get some stuff done before we all have to leave."

"What are we going to do?" Alice asked.

"Don't care," Marlene said at the same time as Lily asked, "How about potions?"

"Alright potions it is then."

They did their work together but finished earlier than they thought they would. Sitting by the fire they were wondering what the marauders could be up to.

"Do you reckon it'll be another prank?" Alice asked.

"Knowing them, probably yes. Or at least they'll finish the year with a spectacular show." Marlene commented.

"I can't believe this is our last year here!" Lily exclaimed, "I'm going to miss it so much."

"We all are, but hey us three. We stick together no matter what."

"Friends forever," Alice agreed.

They continue talking until Lily realised the time.

"Oh crap, you two need to go and I need to start patrol," she told them as she quickly got up.

Running out the door she added, "I'll see you guys tomorrow!"

It was quiet walking through the corridors by herself. Lily missed James' company. Even when they weren't talking, it felt that little bit better knowing there was someone with her. Now there was no one but the sound of her footsteps.

As she walked along, the light of the moon lighted the corridors. Looking out, Lily noticed that it was actually the light of the full moon.

Since third year, when she learnt about them in DADA, Lily had been fascinated by the full moon and the transformations of werewolves as well as the animagi. As she learnt about them things had begun to strike her as odd. It seemed that some things matched up to one of her classmates, Remus Lupin. She of course never did tell anyone what she discovered, or at least thought, because for one thing she didn't even know if it was true, and for another she figured the professors would know and have something sorted for him.

It seemed that about fifth year, Severus was also starting to pick up on it, so every time he mentioned one of his theories, she denied it. It had nothing to do with him or her.

Remus was her friend and if she was correct, or not, it wouldn't change how she acted around him or what she thought of him as a person.

Stopping short, Lily realised something. Hadn't James said to her, It's something we do monthly.

Could this mean it's actually true? she asked herself, but if so what on earth are the other marauders doing? It's too dangerous!

For the rest of her patrol she wondered whether everything was true, or at least what they were up to. She knew it was none of her business, but being Lily she was as curious as ever. However she decided she would wait until the next full moon.

When she got back to her room after patrol, she was too restless to sleep. Getting into her pajamas, which consisted of baggy pants and a t-shirt, she grabbed a book and headed into the common area to read in front of the fire which was still going.

As Lily read, her eyes began to droop. She however was too comfortable to move and instead fell asleep where she was.

~~~/~~~

It was early morning when James entered the shared common room.
He was walking to his room when he saw something move in the dim firelight. Moving closer to the couches, James found himself looking down upon Lily, who was curled on the couch with a book lightly resting on her.

She's so beautiful, he thought, as he smiled at the sight of her.

Conjuring a blanket, he placed it over her gently to keep her warm. As he turned to leave, he quickly did one more thing. Turning back towards Lily, he bent down and put his lips to her forehead before whispering, "Goodnight Lily."

She had moved at the touch, but did not wake up.

Slowly and without making a sound James went into his room and closed the door.

Why hello again my lovelies.

I hope you have liked this chapter! I think its probably my longest so far!

What did you think about my Alice and Frank section? I had to have it since I hinted a chapter or two ago about them :)

Until next time,
