Our Seventh Year

Once Lily had made it to her room she locked the door out of habit. She then made her way to her bed, collapsing on it, a smile permanently plastered on her face. After laying on the bed and thinking for a about twenty minutes Lily finally decided there was not much to debate.

Tonight had made her so happy, and she wanted to continue feeling that way. If James asked her to be his girlfriend again, he would accept it without so much as a second guess.

She crawled off her bed to change, and when she made it to her dresser she realized that she still had his cloak. After a minute or two of debate whether or not to take it to James room, Lily decided against it.

Lily changed into her pajamas and threw the cloak onto her bed before crawling under the sheets to sleep. She was glad it was a Friday night, so she could sleep in the next day.

James watching Lily disappear into his room, then left his common room to go back to the dormitories where the rest of his friends were.

He sneaked in, careful to avoid Peter’s sprawled out limbs as he weaved over to Sirius’ bed. Honestly, he could have been as loud as he wanted because if they could sleep through Remus’ snoring, nothing would wake them up.

“Sirius,” James whispered shaking his friend pretty hard. He felt bad but he had to tell him

“Sirius get up!” he said more urgently shoving him.

Sirius awoke with a start, and swore, “what the hell?”

Then he saw James shaking him, his eyes big. “This better be good,” he mumbled rubbing his eyes.

“It is trust me,” he said smiling at Sirius, making a spot on his bed.

James went though his and Lily’s entire date, and Sirius listened intently, smirking a bit here and there.

Then when James made it to the kissing part, Sirius was shocked, he had to tell the others.

“Remus! MOONY!” Sirius said throwing a pillow at him.

This had startled Remus so bad out of his sleep he almost fell out of bed.

James almost burst out in laughter as he saw Remus flail about.

“Wha-what?” He said sitting straight up grabbing for his wand. Then when his eye adjusted, he threw his hands up and laid right back down.

“Next time you get me up, it had better be for a reason,” he said stealing Sirius’ pillow and covering his face.

Sirius threw yet another pillow at him, “it is good, stay awake!”

He then moved to Peter, grabbing his foot and shaking it. Peter awoke with a start, not as violent as Remus’ though.

“I have an announcement,” Sirius said looking at his other two friends.

“Our little Prongs went on a date with Lily,” he started before Peter interjected.

“We already knew that,” he said with a groan. Peter was having a particularly good dream about him and a certain 5th year Slytherin, and he wanted to try to get back into it.

“But not all. They kissed,” Sirius said and James just smirked at his friends.

Remus sat up, the pillow over his head falling to the floor to look at James wide-eyed.

“Did she smack you?” Remus asked curiously

“No,” James said laughing. “She kissed me back, then we kissed again a few minutes later.”

The marauders sat up for the next hour or so talking about Lily and James’ date, and what he should do next. Some of the roommates had woken, and just cast a silencing around their own beds, they were so used to these late night chats, they had given up complaining.

Eventually James wandered up to his own room once Peter had lost consciousness again, and Remus was on his way out.

It took him a long time to fall asleep because he sat thinking about Lily, and hoped that she would not act like nothing had happened tomorrow.
