Oh yeah, I
Tell you something

Breakfast was eventful. Lucius, the jerk-off, did bother us for a bit. Accompanied of course, by his menacing groupie Snape. Lily called them poofs and told them to go about their business of shagging each other. Professor McGonagall told them to move along, thankfully, as Malfoy looked as he was about to cast an Unforgivable Curse on me.
Hogwarts didn't make much of a fuss about our recent pairings, as they all seemed under the impression we were going out anyway. Snape looked like he was going to cry when he first found out. He's always liked Lily. Too bad for him she's all mine.
The rest of the day we spent in pairs. Making out. Monica and Sirius in the boys dorm, Arabella and Remus in an undisclosed location, and Lily and I in the girls dorm.
We were in Lily's bed, her on top of me. I unbuttoned her blouse and slid it off her shoulders. She pulled my shirt over my head and unbuckled my belt. I stopped.
" Lily, are you sure we should do this? " I asked. Not a very guy thing to say, I know, but I don't want her to regret it later!
" Positive. " she smiled, pulling off my belt. I unzipped her denim skirt and pulled it off her hips. Pretty soon I was only in boxers, and she was only in her bra and knickers. I moved my hand behind her back and unsnapped it. She pulled back and let it fall off her body. I smiled and moved in to explore uncharted territory.
In the meantime, she had slipped my boxers off and onto the floor, then took off her own. We were both completely starkers. She positioned herself over me, leaning down to kiss me. I slid my arms around her waist and rocked gently. The only sign of my entrance was a slight gasp from Lily that was masked with my mouth. This went on for about thirty minutes, then we rested. Then again, again, again, again, and finally we couldn't go anymore.

" Five. " I said smugly. Monica, Arabella, and I were up in our dormitory that evening and I was discussing the events of that day. Monica scowled.
" Fine! You beat me. " she smiled suddenly, " Going to break the record Arabella? " Arabella choked and blushed.
" Maybe. " she smiled, " We'll see ... " Pause. " Soon. " Monica and I raised our eyebrows, but didn't say anything. We all fell asleep, peacefully dreaming of that wonderful day, and events to come.
The months passed swiftly and it was Christmas before we knew it! I awoke to a warm presence beside me. I opened one eye and glanced up. I was lying in the arms of a very cute Quidditch captain with messy black hair. I nuzzled into his neck and he stirred slightly.
" Morning love. " he kissed the top of my head.
" Merry Christmas. " I hopped up and hurried to the foot of James' bed to open my presents. James soon joined me, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into his lap. I giggled and grabbed a gift.
" This one is from ... " I paused, checking the tag, " My mum and dad. " I ripped it open and extracted a beautifully embroidered cloak. It was royal purple with an intricate silver clasp.
" It'll look good with your hair. " James commented. I rewarded him with a kiss before grabbing another gift.
" From Remus. " It was a new chess set. I love chess, and this was a beautiful set. The pieces were made out of flawless black and white ivory.
" Like it? " I turned around to see Remus. I smiled before jumping up to hug him.
" I love it! Thank you so much. "
" You are very welcome. " I also received a sculpture of a fairy from Monica and a photo album filled with pictures of James and I from Arabella. Sirius' present was one of the best though. Black combat boots with orange flames licking at the toe. I got some others from various schoolmates before opening James'. It was a stunning necklace. A shimmering sapphire on a pure silver chain.
" I love it! Thank you so much baby. " I wrapped my arms around his neck and together we toppled to the floor, me on top of him.
" Honestly! Get a room. " Sirius complained, emerging from the bathroom. I stuck my tongue out at him before thanking him for my fabulous boots.

Christmas was the best. I received a box of joke stuff from Sirius, an assortment of Quidditch supplies from Remus, Gobstones from Peter, a duplicate copy of Lily's photo album from Arabella, a winter cloak from Monica, and something called a CD player from Lily. And since Sirius got her those new boots, guess who got her old ones? They're finally mine! Merlin, I love those boots.
We all spent the days of Christmas break lounging in the common room, chatting by the lake, or roaming Hogwarts many secret passages. When school started again, nothing really changed. Lily and I were still together. So were Arabella and Remus. So were Sirius and Monica. Malfoy was still an idiot and Snape was still a prat.
It was two months until graduation. Everything was still the same. Lily's eighteenth birthday was a week away. I was giving her the best gift I could think of. All I could do was hope she'd say yes.
The days ticked by. Monday ... Tuesday ... Wednesday ... Thursday ... Friday finally came. Everything was set. Lily would arrive by the lakeside at nine o'clock. I waited.
