At first the idea of hanging out with Harry at the Christmas party seemed like a brilliant idea, the perfect opportunity to spend time with Harry, get to know him, celebrate the holidays. In retrospect, Lily would see this choice for the mistake it was. How could it have slipped her mind that where ever Sirius was so was James - they were best mates after all. And it really was too soon for her and James to be in the same place.
But misjudgment was the rules of the game for the moment, and Lily was willing to ignore the warning voice in the back of her mind telling her to just leave. She wanted to spend time with Harry, damn it, and she and James were both adults, they could act like such for Harry's sake. And when she saw James across the room for the first time, Lily had hope this meeting would be amicable, she harbored no ill will towards James, and actually thought rather highly of him for the most part.
She did understand, however, that approaching him might be a bad idea, and remained on the other side of the room, conversing with other party-goers.
After a good quarter hour passed Lily relaxed, so far, so good, she took the peaceful first fifteen minutes as a good omen.
