James released a small series of laughter at her comment. Of course he wouldn't like her if she was anything less then the curious, nurturing creature that she had proven to be. "You're right, as always, my little Lily-pad. You're absolute perfection just as you are, and I would never chose to have you any other way. I'm even coming to understand that I quite enjoy this sense of adventure you've developed over this past summer, it certainly adds another level of unexpected excitement to the spectrum, doesn't it?" he assured her pleasantly, a wide and honest grin cemented across his face. He and his fellow marauders had clearly made an impact on the girl, bringing out a less cautious and more dangerous side to her, an attribute that even further attracted James.

For several minutes, he silently contemplated what Lily's Animagus form would be, had she ever chosen to master the magic. Something wise beyond it's years, perhaps an owl? No, Lily wasn't nocturnal enough for that, and she was far more nurturing. Dogs are caring and maternal, and yet, they are quite rambunctious. It would need to be an animal with much more grace and poise than Sirius. James finally came to the perfect conclusions: a cat. They are knowledgeable and motherly, elegant and swift, all characteristics that Lily exhibited regularly.

"Well, darling, I'm under the impression that your Animagus form might be a cat. One cannot truly know these things until they have thoroughly studied the ancient art of the Animagus, to be sure. It takes a great deal of self reflection and many hours or comprehending your core beliefs to ascertain each individual spirit form, however. An yet, cat's are quite dignified creatures, utterly loyal and protective, and yet vastly intellectual beings. All attributes that you display, lovely." he answered her, gratuitously satisfied with his response. "If I might ask, what form do you believe you would take?"

Lily looked at him and listened to what he said, a cat? perhaps she did not really know. But then when he asked her what she thought, she sighed silently and closed her eyes going over what she was as a person. Unsure what to think any more, but when she opened up her green eyes. Everything just fell into her lap, it was rather nice really. And looking back at her memories she smiled a little bit. As the wind blew some of her red hair into her face. She came up with what she thought it would be.

"I think much like you it would be a doe, graceful, beautiful, angelic. Sometimes beauty can out do knowledge. Though if you think about it a doe and stag they are not stupid creatures. They live in harsh areas, even harsher in the magical world. So that is what I think at least, perhaps I am off and you are right. But doe's they protect family as well, and right now protecting is what I am good at. People come to me with secrets and I never utter them to anyone accept the one who gave me that secret."

She said with a very kind smile on her face, looking back at James perhaps she was silly. But still she was Lilian Marie Evans. A girl who knows both muggle and right now she was just happy with what ever she did. Some magics she could not do or wanted to attempt. Being an animagus was one of those. "You know there is another girl at our school who is an animagus so you boys have some things in common with her. But that is just a rumor, though you should talk to her sometime she isn't your typical head girl"

James entertained the possibility of Lily's Animagus form arising in the shape of a doe. It was a pleasing thought, to say the very least. They duo would make quite the beautiful couple. prancing through forest under the twilight sky and the ethereal rays of the moon. It would indeed create a calming atmosphere in the perilous treachery of the Forbidden Forest. James even strayed to think of the term jovial when ascertaining his emotions on the matter, the pair would stand proud and tall against all dangerous, triumphing over the evils of the night and protecting their kin. With an inward chuckle, James shook his head and pulled himself back into reality.

"Well, who am I to determine your Animagus form? It is an utterly personal matter than can only be found within ones self. If you, my dear, believe you would be a doe- the male counterpart to my own form, than I have not a doubt in my mind that you would be. The description is rather a perfect fit." he retorted, offering the girl an easy and gentle smile. From his earliest transformation into his Stag form, James had always felt more comfortable in the skin of the animal. The sense of freedom that came with the territory was relieving, an escape of sorts, from all the woes and worries that inhibited him as a human. Academics, Quidditch, even bloody wars felt inconsequential for the duration of his transition. The simple fact that he was able to satisfy these urges with his very best mates increased his love of the Animagus tenfold.

It came as quite a shock when Lily mentioned the rumors of the Head Girl being an Animagus, he had certainly never heard such a tale. What was her name, again? Ellen? Elaine? Eden! That was it, or something of that nature, of that he was sure. James had never taken a keen interest in any authoritative students, until Lily and Remus become prefects, of course. "I've never spoken to the girl myself. Eden is her name, correct? Tell me, darling, where did you hear such rumors? I'll have to have my father inform me of the updated list of Registered Animagi when I go home for the winter holidays. It seems that they've become rather lax in the process, I've heard rumors of several new masters of the trait." James speculated, rather relived that he was not on the registry himself. That's all he needed, was to be exposed to the masses, and more than likely out Remus as the lycanthrope he is.

Lily listened to him and wished she had the talent to pull off something like that, but knew it was just not for her. At least that is what she kept telling herself, Lily ran her hand down her side and grunted a little bit. Sometimes she forgot she got a bruise to the side after being head butted by Remus, but she did not know if she could tell any of the guys. She was afraid that they would tell Remus or it would slip out. She was still very sore from that night but she just shrugged it off.

"Still I respect your opinion James, believe it or not I do. Respect is a funny thing though, most people think they deserve it. But real respect is earned. And you have earned it over the years, I don't give my respect to just anyone. Actually there are only a few people I respect, You, Sirius, Remus and Peter are big ones. Eden I respect as well, see I know she would turn you guys in if you did pranks. But James I don't know if this means anything coming from me or anything. But I did some thinking for her.

If she was to find out about Remus being a lycanthrope, I don't think she would tell. I think she would offer her help, and I know all this because of a conversation I over heard. Her god father was a lycanthrope someone high up and she became an Animagus to join him. Course this is all just wild speculation of course, but I honestly think she could be trusted. And her being good at her job she may end up finding out sooner or later. Though it would never come out of my mouth I promise.

Your secrets are not mine to tell, not that I would. Perhaps I would not feel so powerless if the transformations did not hurt. But I don't know any way, tell me James when you change does it hurt you? I was always curious about it but never knew anyone who was an animagus to ask, till I found out about you guys. It perhaps is a rather stupid and childish thing to ask, but with it being magic I was just curious. I thought about trying to learn it, but my passion for magic is else where"

James picked up on her barley audible sigh of pain, and placed his hand gingerly on Lily's arm. He whispered softly, "Are you alright, love? Are you hurt?". He detested the thought of her sustaining any injuries from the previous nights events...surely Madame Pomfrey had given her some potion to subdue her discomfort? Internally, he damned himself for allowing things to snowball as vapidly as they had, if the Marauders had simply been earnest with Lily, perhaps the events that occurred under the Full Moon would never have transpired.

He listened to her words on Eden and contemplated them deeply, but he was not in concurrence with her on the subject. "No, Lily, I don't think it's a good idea, I'm very sorry. I'm sure that Wolf is a lovely girl and all, and I'm not saying that she wouldn't be understanding to Remus' predicament. However, I'm not comfortable with circumventing this knowledge any further than it already has been, nor do I believe Remus would be willing to inform the head girl. It's one thing for her to be so helpful to her godfather, but it's another to bestow such kindness to a student that she barley knows." he responded to her truthfully. "It's often hard for us to comprehend just how fearsome werewolves appear to be from an outside perspective. I mean, how could anyone who truly knows Remus feel that he could even harm a fly? And yet, he could leave a friend lying lifeless on the ground without a second thought. As such, I'd rather not have his secrets exposed to another soul- even one who might be compassionate towards his lycanthrope nature."

"As far as my transformation into my Animagus form, no, it doesn't hurt a bit anymore. When Sirius, Peter and I began to practice the transitions, it could become quite painful- especially if we misjudged and turned into half-human half-animal abominations. It was horrid. Not to mention, your very bones are being misplaced and reformed- and as such, yes, a bit of anguish can be endured, though it wasn't half as bad as Remus has it. Now that my body has become adapted to the experience, it's second nature- I can hardly tell it's happened at all. Besides the hooves and antlers, of course."he chuckled lightly at his own description.

Lily did not want him to know but now she really did not really know, she sighed silently unsure how to even put this. She never wanted anyone to know and it felt like being hurt was deserved so she refused to take anything from pain. And right then and there everything seemed to go away when he touched her. She nodded a bit as she tried like hell to ignore everything, so a strand of hair flew in her face and she reached for it and pushed it back and looked at him with much love and really cared.

"It's nothing, when Remus head butted me he cracked a couple of ribs and please do not say anything to Remus about this. And I refused anything to take the pain away because what happened last night is my own fault, so call this a way to punish myself for being to bloody stupid. And as for Eden relax James I wasn't meaning anything by it, I am just saying that if you need allies to know where to look. That is all I was saying James, we will all go to our graves with Remus's secret.

But everyone is safe and that is the most important thing, that because of me being so selfish that I was the only one who was hurt. Just kinda cover everything with a smile, but I am a tough girl I can handle myself just fine. And I have to say James your nickname is well deserved, it's rather cute to. But maybe that is just the girl in me I don't know, or maybe its the fact I feel honored that you have told me what you have. And so open to showing me your stag form sometimes. It honestly means a lot to me James"

Once again, Lillian's ludicrous ranting's were pushing James towards the brim of frustration. This girl was developing a habit of disrupting his emotions, causing his reactions to fluctuate from perfectly pleasant to violently vehement in mere seconds. How dare she not recognize her own importance, and as such protect her own mortality? "Don't be so naïve, Lily, of course it's not nothing. You don't EVER punish yourself with physical pain, ever. This is not a topic that's up for discussion, refusing to treat your wound is simply barbaric." he practically commanded, whipping out his wand in the process. He lightly lifted the very edge of Lily's shirt, pointing at the deep purple and yellowing bruise, running a finger softly across the mark gently before muttering "Episkey.". He waited for a moment, allowing the bruise to disappear slightly before asking "There now, any better?"

"I didn't meant to sounds so harsh, Lily, I just...happen to be a bit protective over Moony. He's already mortified by his furry little problem, and as such, I tend to get a bit...worked up over the sanctity of his secret." James apologized, not wanting to cause any permanent detriment to their budding relationship. "As far as the Eden request goes, I'm just not entirely comfortable imparting such pertinent knowledge onto a girl that I've never so much as communicated with. The closest we've come to contact is when I'm sneaking about after hours, avoiding her at all costs as not to receive a detention." he detailed quickly, offering a mischievous and playful grin.

"As far as opening up to you, there's no need to thank me for that. In truth, perhaps it would have made for a smoother transition into our companionship if I'd been more honest with you from the very start. It's not as if I was under the impression that you wouldn't keep our secret, it's just...we've been keeping it for so long. For years now, it's just been the four of us- Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs- the Marauders, brothers bound by the light of the full moon. Maybe I was under the erroneous belief that it would weaken the bond between my best mates and I, or something of a similar notion. I...I apologize if it caused you any grief, and that it put an unnecessary strain on our relationship, that was never my intention." James admitted, drawing several paces closer to Lily as he spoke. She had always had this magnetizing hold over him, and even the emotional roller coaster that she so often tossed him through couldn't shake him.

Lily was a very unique girl, she always had been. She was torturing herself for what happened, and she could tell that pissed James off a lot. And just wanted to throw in the bloody towel, but she never seemed to give up on anything. She was strong and was the glue that kept the boys together, she had responsibilities now more so then before. She never would have guessed this would have happened to her. A muggleborn to boot, it was a different feeling to be kind to the guys, especially the ring leader James, but she cared for them.

She tried so hard to let things go, but sometimes it was actually rather hard to do that. But then she watched what James did, taking out his wand and lifting up her shirt. Her whole side was bruised up, and looking down she did not want anyone to see it. But James would never be happy unless he saw it and help her. He was a good guy, she did not know what she did to deserve such a guy like him in her life. But she just faintly smiled and took a deep silent breath then and there.

But then hearing him say one word she saw a white light hit the tip and against her chest, she could feel the magic working as it mended itself. And really she was grateful to him, bad enough that her leg was all cut up. But that was the price of helping someone, brushing a strand of red hair out of her eyes. Unsure what to say to him when he was done, he was an enigma and had no idea if she would ever be able to figure him out fully. But she was contented and nothing would stop her.

"It's better thanks James, and you guys maybe bound to the full moon and I am the glue that holds us together I guess" When he said the boys were bound by the moon it actually kind of hurt her. Since she wasn't bound to anyone, she was the one that had no idea what to do any more and it hurt. But she tried not to show the upset look on her face, looking up at the sky as she smiled weakly. Leaning against the tree as she stood there silent for a few moments.

"Least Moony has you guys hanging out with him" she could not say more afraid she would upset him even more if she spoke what was on her mind. So she just shook her head mentally and tried to think of positive things in her life. Which was actually rather different, but all in all least they were friends, she may have lacked certain abilities but she made them work for her. Since she did not have to be under the radar like the boys had to. She had nothing to hide herself personally, but just did not mind that.
