No just kidding.

FIRST OF ALL I'M TAKING BACK THE FACT THAT JAMES IS HEAD BOY AND LILY IS HEAD GIRL!

Chapter 3

Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, and Lily Evans was slowly losing her mind. Christmas holidays were coming up and the workload was still intense for no apparent reason, well, if you didn't count the OWLS, the BIGGEST EXAM OF THEIR LIVES! So Lily Evens was a bit stressed out about the exams. Understatement of the century! We know join Lily and her three friends a week before the exams and two weeks before the Christmas holidays. (AN- I know they normally have exams after the Christmas holidays but I just want it this way, you'll find out later! And I won't beg you not to flame me because I hate when people do that!)

"I can't wait for these exams to be over! Then we can PARTY! And it's Christmas!" Chloe said wistfully. Looking outside at the white Qudditch field. Lily and her friends had decided to put their name down for staying at Hogwarts at Christmas, maybe if they had known the Marauders were staying they would have thought twice before signing themselves down. Scrap that! They would have run after the train screaming! Or it least that's what they thought they would do if it came to that!

"Lighting charm.Elves war since first century. add snake tongue with jarbane." Lily muttered rocking back and forth.

"Um, Lily are you alright?" Laura asked gently taking her friend by the arm and looking worriedly at her.

"Got to study. Must do well. NEWT shapes life." Lily muttered now reciting the speeches that the Professors gave them about the NEWT Exams.

"Maybe we should take her to Madam Pomfery?" Ronnie asked glancing up from her book.

"No! I've got a better idea; we'll just put a cheering charm on her! And if she does something stupid we can take it off quickly before she does anything else in her happy state!" Chloe said quickly grinning from ear to ear.

"Oh. I don't know." Laura cautioned looking up at the Professor's Table.

"Come on Laura!" Ronnie and Chloe urge whipping out their wands.

"OH go on but don't blame me when this stuffs up!" Laura huffed. And with that the three girls put the cheering charm on Lily.

"Thanks girls! This is great! I feel soooooooo relaxed!" Lily said beaming at her three friends as they walked across the snowy Qudditch Field to their Care of Magical Creatures Class. They beamed back at her and high- fived each other. Suddenly a brown-haired figure ran past them laughing and screaming out to his best friend "you'll never catch be Siripoo, so I guess you won't get your books back!" he laughed manically and then noticed the four girls he had pushed past and were now getting up and brushing the snow from their robes.

"Great Potter! Now our robes are ruined!" Laura snarled.

"It's alright girls!" Ronnie reasoned doing a quick Drying Charm.

While this had been going on Lily was still sitting on the ground. And she was laughing! James a little freaked out about this laughing girl who would normally bite his head off.

"Um, Lily, you are Lily right? Are you alright?" James asked nervously. Lily reached up and grabbed his arm pulling herself up at the same time. Her friends and Sirius stared as Lily WILLINGLY touched James.

"Yeh I'm fine!" Lily said beaming and quickly doing a drying charm on herself.

"You sure?" James asked hesitantly well aware of Lily's hand resting on his arm.

"Um we put a cheering charm on her! She was too uptight!" Chloe said quickly explaining as James looked surprised.

"Come on everybody! Let's go to class!" Lily shouted laughing and skipping off pulling James by the hand.

"Lily!" James said as he was pulled along by the happy redhead.

"Lily! Stop!" James yelled jerking her back quickly. The momentum of the force propelled them backwards landing on the snow next to each other. James sat up and grabbed Lily's arms bringing her close to him and staring her in the eye.

"Hey how do you get this charm off her?" James yelled at her three friends as Lily started singing a Christmas Carol.

"You have to think of something really sad or gross and tell her!" Chloe said walking up to the pair on the ground.

"OK Um, getting a T in your exams!" Ronnie guessed.

"Getting detention for a month!" Laura said.

"Not getting to make fun at the Marauders!" Chloe shouted gleefully, "Oh no offence guys!" she said as Sirius and James glared at her.

"I know!" yelled James beaming "kissing Snape!" "Aw yuck!" Lily screamed jumping up "hey I'm back to normal?"

"Yeh!" Sirius and James said smiling.

"Potter what are you doing sitting on the ground? And why am I all wet?" she said doing a quick Drying Charm.

"Let's just get to class! We're late enough as it is!" Ronnie said.

Because they we're late to class the six year sevens got detentions, with Filch!

"Ok you six! Come with me!" Filch yelled glaring at the troublemakers, "we'll be looking for potion ingredients in the Forbidden Forest! Pair up and take a bucket and a torch if you meet another pair, go with them, after all four ryes are better than two!"

Chloe and Lily quickly paired up, Ronnie and Laura paired up and of course James and Sirius paired up.

"Off you go then! I'll be waiting just here outside the Forbidden Forest and when your watches say 10pm come back here!"

Chloe and Lily take a torch and bucket and walk into the forest. They look and find a few potion ingredients and put them in the bucket. Suddenly through the silence comes a crack and Lily and Chloe freeze looking at each other.

"What. Was. That?" Lily asks deliberately taking hold of Chloe's hand and scanning the nearby trees.

"Probably the wind" Chloe whispered.

"Then why are you whispering?"

"I don't know!"

Suddenly a head bobs in the air illuminated by a hidden light source. Lily and Chloe scream and run tripping over a tree root behind them before they can get up the face is above them, and it's laughing!

"James! Sirius!" Lily and Chloe screech jumping up and tackling the two boys hidden in the Invisibility Cloak.

"Don't ever scare me that way again! You bastard!" Lily said thumping James on the chest from her position straddling his hips. Chloe and Sirius were having there own dialogue a few metres away and Lily and James hadn't noticed the other two.

"Ever so sorry, my love! But when we saw you there we couldn't resist!" James smirked flipping Lily onto her back and straddling her.

"What are you doing?" asked Lily scornfully her hands pinned above her head, smirking with contempt.

"Why my darling, this is what I'm doing!" James laughed leaning down.

LILY'S POV.

"Why my darling, this is what I'm doing!" James said laughing. He leans down and down coming closer. Suddenly realising what he was doing I glance at his lips and then back to his eyes. Slowly I close my eyes and purse my lips.

"Hey you guys its nearly 10pm we got to go!" Chloe shouted walking off with Sirius, not realising what she has unwittingly stopped.

The four year sevens walk back to Filch and back to their
