Lily avoided him all evening, by the time her family began to leave it was getting late and Lily soon went to bed. Lying in the spare room that night, James couldn't sleep; he wanted to right things with Lily. Slipping out of the bed, he fumbled in his rucksack and found his wand and invisibility cloak. He gripped his wand and pulled the cloak around him. He opened his door and crept into the hall, not wanting to be heard by anyone. He crept across the hallway towards Lily's door. He very quietly reached his arm from under the cloak and knocked on Lily's door.

No answer came. He knocked again and then he heard the creak that said Lily was getting out of bed, and knew she was going to open the door to him.
"What?" Lily asked in a hushed whispered, cracking the door open slightly and although she couldn't see him she knew he was there.
"Can we talk?" He asked a disembodied voice as he remained invisible.
Lily crossed her arms. "No. I don't want to."
"I don't want to fight." He admitted pulling the cloak off of his head.
"We're not fighting." She said crossly. "Just not talking,"
"Well I want to talk," he said trying to catch her eye.
She paused, looked up and down the hall then after a moment tutted. "Fine. Come in."
James stepped inside and pulled the cloak off completely, Lily then shut the door behind them.
"What?" She asked defensively. "What can you say?" She almost snarled. "To the fact that you were going to desert me and join the Death Eaters," Her voice broke and she sobbed, she covered her face attempting to hide the tears that sprang to her eyes. "How could you even think of doing that to me? Don't you love me?"
"Of course I love you," He whispered desperately. "I didn't mean- I was desperate. I mean Sirius, he's my best friend. He was about to-, I just panicked."
Lily was still crying, she went and sat on her bed. "You were thinking of going though weren't you? Don't lie to me."
James couldn't answer, he couldn't breathe. He looked at Lily sadly. "For a moment, yeah," His words hung in the air. "But then you came out of the door and I knew I never could leave..." He sighed and ran his hand through his messy hair, his eyes swimming with tears. "I never thought I'd meet someone who..."He took a deep breath, gulped then continued. "Who made me forget everything else... I mean the Marauders mean the world to me...but if I had to choose between them and you...it's you every time."
Lily looked up teary eyed from the bed. "You mean that?" She asked.
"Of course I mean it." James sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."
Lily nodded. "And you're not going to join the Death Eaters..?"
James kissed her cheek. "Never. I promise." He wrapped both arms around her and held her close.
"Soulmate." He whispered low in her ear, she turned and kissed him. "James," She whispered tears still wet on her cheeks. They kissed for a long moment and then fell in each other's arms onto Lily's bed, after a few moments of whispered words they drifted off to sleep.

James woke up suddenly by a loud knock on the door, he yawned blinked and found he'd fallen asleep with his glasses on. He rubbed his face where the glasses had pressed into his face, yawned again and looked around. He was in Lily's room. Uh-oh. There was another knock on the door and Mrs Evan's voice said "Lily, are you up? Can I come in?" Lily had just woken up, she looked startled, James leapt from the bed and scrambled for his invisibility cloak and wand which he'd left in a heap on the floor last night. "Lily" Mrs Evans called again. James hastily dragged the cloak over himself while Lily looked panicked and attempted to appear innocent. She got up.
"Sorry Mum." She opened the door. "I was asleep."
"Well good morning," Mrs Evans kissed her daughter's cheek. "We're going out for the meal at twelve you need to be ready."
"Yeah," Lily said nervously. "I know." She glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Right, well," She smiled. "I'll go wake James-!"
"No!" Lily cut in. "I will,"
Mrs Evans frowned. "Hmm what happened last night? You looked like you were arguing."
"Nothing," Lily crossed her arms and involuntarily looked over at the spot that James stood invisible. "We're fine."
Mrs Evans looked concerned. "Are you sure?"
"Yes Mum," Lily said exasperated.
